Chapter 16: The Game Sells?

Max is IGN's game review editor, and this morning he received a compressed package from a game production company called Goat Star Studios. He smiled, this kind of thing is common, after all, IGN is the world's largest game review agency, and many game studios will take the initiative to send games for them to review.

"Goat Star Studios? Where does it seem to have been heard? ”

Max was downloading the bun jiàn bag while drinking coffee, he put down the coffee cup and shook his head, there are not many images, it seems that it is just a small studio that is not famous, and it may even be just an independent game maker of a few people. Indie gamers have a lot of ideas and a lot of interesting ideas, but unfortunately the technology and funding are not in place, and the games they make are often far from the ideas.

After downloading the game, decompress the text jiàn package, and start the game, Max's eyes lit up, he didn't expect this game to be only 1G in size, and there was such a gorgeous opening CG.

"Like that Dragon 3 in the island country, did you put the budget on the opening CG?"

Max smiled and shook his head, it is no longer the era of relying on CG to eat, the actual game content is far greater than the game CG, and players will buy it. At present, it seems that this game is just a mediocre one, after all, it is just a small studio that is not famous, and it takes a lot of time and financial resources to make such CG, so it is better to focus on the actual content of the game.

"CG is good."

When the CG of the game finishes, Max nods, and then he sees the title of the game.

“《Doublegirls》? What kind of game is this, a game in which women are the protagonists? Well, there are a lot of games with female protagonists, and men and women are equal. ”

"Hey, there's still an online mode? How about a stand-alone process first? ”

Max started playing the game with a little curiosity, and as the game progressed, his expression changed rapidly, sometimes smiling, sometimes frowning, and sometimes angry.

"FXCK! What kind of shit is this!"

An hour later, Max suddenly cursed, threw away the keyboard and mouse, and took a deep breath before calming down. Just now, his game character died, not only died, but at the moment of death, the originally extremely beautiful heroine suddenly aged and became extremely ugly!

"Okay, it's the game's death penalty system, okay."

Max looked at the game screen that had been restored to the start screen, he felt that this game was necessary to continue playing, he had a basic understanding of the game, and for the sake of the previous hour of gameplay, he would give a brief review of the work of this small studio.

About half an hour later, Max's review was completed, and he was about to send an email to Goat Star Studio, when a passing colleague suddenly reminded him.

"Huh? Goat Star Studios, isn't it an indie game studio that has been on fire on Steam for a while? I heard that it is a game studio in Huaguo, why, did they find us IGN? To be honest, that "Goat Star vs. Demon God" is not bad, especially that CG, which made me realize that Huaguo also has strong technicians. Max, is this their new work, how's it going? ”

Mike opens the document, re-edits, adds a clause to the game's shortcomings, and when he's done modifying, hits send, and hangs the game review in the PC category of the website.

"The same gorgeous opening CG."

Max responded, taking a sip of his coffee and leaving Goat Star Studio behind, ready to review new titles from the industry's leading studios.

……

Huaguo, Shudu.

Su Mo received an email from IGN for the first time, he used to watch other games being reviewed, but today his own studio's game was reviewed, and he was a little excited.

"I don't know how many points IGN gave, did it have 6 points?"

Although the game is produced by his own studio, in Su Mo's heart, the game is only 6 points at most, barely passing. Download the document, open the document, and the game review from IGN appears in front of Su Mo's eyes.

"It's a 2D action game with gorgeous CG and a lily game, and the game has two main characters, both women, one of whom is Chinese and the other is French. I'm curious, why not the people of the United States? Could it be that the relationship between China and the United States is not as good as that between China and France? ”

"Pros: 2D American art style, fancy armor and weapon design, and a soundtrack soundtrack."

"Disadvantages: Too gorgeous opening CG, incompatible with some actual content, highly repetitive level design, combat feel scum to the extreme."

"Overall score: 6.0, okay."

"One sentence comment:2D American painting style has an unexpected little freshness,The peculiar armor design gives people a refreshing feeling,The combat system without a feel is simply dizzy and sleepy,The highly repetitive level design makes the game more boring,Fortunately, the background music is extraordinarily sensitive,This work is still worth a try。

After reading the review, Su Mo couldn't help but laugh, and the IGN editor gave it a 6 point, and he felt that the review was in place. I usually listen to IGN's money ratings, and so far, it seems that it is still very fair.

"I wonder how my sister feels after reading this score?"

Su Mo smiled and sent an email to the old lady, after all, the old sister is a game maker, and the evaluation of the world's top evaluation agencies still has to show her. After sending the email, Su Mo looked at Bo Sai and pointed to the document in the game monitor.

"IGN gave it a 6, are you satisfied?"

"Stupid earthling." Posey chuckled, obviously unhappy with the score, and yes, he had given the game a score of 10 and had to sell a million sets of the language.

Su Mo smiled, landed on the Steam platform, Steam should have also been reviewed, sure enough, looking at the backstage, there is already information that the game has been reviewed, and also said that as long as the studio is priced, it can be put on the shelves at any time, and give the game a homepage introduction recommendation.

It seems that the last "Goat Star vs. Demon God" made the Steam side already remember Goat Star Studios.

"How much does it cost?"

"$29.99, the opening CG is worth $20!" Posey spoke.

"$19.99." Zeus spoke.

"This time, listen to Zeus."

Su Mo set the price for the game and submitted it to Steam, and ten minutes later, there was a response, and the other party said that although it could be put on the shelves, it was better to lower the price a little more. Su Mo thought about it, the game was priced at $14.99, and it was submitted again, and the other party was almost wonderful.

After another twenty minutes, Su Mo saw the game information of his studio on the homepage of the Steam platform.

"Doublegirls, the war between two women! Only $14.99! ”

Well, the game is officially sold, how many sets can be sold on the homepage, and how many can be sold in the end? The answer to the first question will be known tomorrow.

On the second day, Su Yan strongly asked Su Mo to pick her up, Su Mo had no choice but to take the old sister to the rented room, he knew the old sister's thoughts, as the planner of "Doublegirls", she must want to know how much the game can sell!

In the bedroom, in front of the computer, Su Mo clicked on the backstage count.

"The first day sales were 400 sets, haha, sister, this number is not bad!"

The sales volume on the first day was 400 sets, which was indeed not bad, but Su Yan had a cold face, obviously not very satisfied. She glared at Su Mo, then at Posey.

"Mr. Bosei, Sentinel's game system is too low-level and does not meet my design requirements at all! If you follow my design, 4,000 sets on the first day will definitely be no problem! Blame the sentinels! ”

Posei only smiled and did not respond. As for Zeus, he remained calm and silent as usual.

…….

"Doublegirls" sold 600 sets the next day, and selling 1,000 sets on the third day was a small **, and the sales fell back on the fourth day, only 200 sets were sold, and on the fifth day there were only more than 40 sets, and by the 6th day, less than 10 sets were sold, and the total sales volume was basically set.

In general, there will be no loss, but many of the reviews given to the game by players who bought the game are **.

"Scammers, shit game!"

"A garbage studio that sells CG."

"Gorgeous opening, shit-like ending."

"Never buy a game from Goat Star Studios again!"

“SheepStar=Sheep

Shit! FxckSheep! ”
