"Bo Sai, do you have to pay copyright fees for adapting Shushan?"

"The version copied by the Sentinel seems to have been published by a publishing house in Shaanxi Province."

"Oh, forget about the publishing house, it's more appropriate to pay the copyright fee to the descendants of the owner of the pearl building."

A week later, the Sentinel zuò game was completed. The finished product is in Su Mo's computer, and the game's startup icon is a sword, and the sentry says that this sword is the Ziying Sword.

Su Mo didn't rush to open the game, he was talking to Juno on the phone.

"Sue, someone from Microsoft's Xbox division approached us and said they were willing to provide technical and financial support to Goat Star Studios, provided that they signed a game exclusivity agreement."

Game exclusives, exclusive games, are common in the gaming world. Usually the first-party works of hardware companies are games exclusive to their hardware consoles, such as 343 Studios, which is Microsoft's first-party studio that produced the famous "Halo" series. Master Chief is a favorite of Somer's game characters, but he prefers Captain Drake from Naughty Dog Studios' Uncharted series.

Goat Star Studios doesn't make exclusive games until it participates in console wars!

"Juno, tell the staff at Microsoft that Goat Star Studios is not technological, and we are not short of money, we only make games that we like. If Microsoft wants our title to come to Xboxone, we can, just not give it exclusivity to Xboxone. Su Mo smiled and continued to chat with Juno: "What about Sony, did anyone from Sony take the initiative to come?" ”

"Sorry, boss, Sony didn't take the initiative to contact for the time being. However, another hardware manufacturer in the island country has taken the initiative to contact, and Nintendo said that our games can be launched on WIIU, and only need to pay a 5% royalty. ”

Su Mo listened to it, and it was still a tragedy that heaven was still a tragedy, the previous era was the overlord of the console, and the next generation was sold before the other two, but it was surpassed by Sony in less than a year, or far more. At the moment, Microsoft is also chasing Nintendo's chrysanthemum. And WIIU, like the WII of the previous era, is a grave for third-party game companies.

"Nintendo, Juno, our Goat Star Studio will become the world's top game company in the future, and even join the console war, maybe, in a few years, we will trample Nintendo under our feet. By the way, Juno, "Shushan" has been completed, and I will send you a demo later, so you can start further promotional work. ”

"Okay, boss."

"Juno, do a good job."

"I will, Mr. Terminator."

Hanging up the phone, Su Mo shook his head slightly, Sony is really arrogant, after all, it is the current overlord of the next-generation console industry, presumably a small independent game studio can't get into the eyes of the arrogant Sony. However, if the next generation wants to make a lot of money, it must let the game land on Sony's PS4, and there is no way, PS4 is currently the most sold by the three major console hardware manufacturers.

Click on "Shu Mountain", here, Su Mo looked at the picture, and knew that it was the style of the sentinel system, the gorgeous opening CG. The opening CG is about a minute and a half long, which has the feeling of a fairy blockbuster. But, well, the current game, no matter how good the CG is, the game has no content, and it can't sell many sets.

Half an hour later, Su Mo threw away the mouse, he was satisfied with the game, although the graphics were only at the level of the top studios five years ago, but they were a big improvement over Beast Soccer Origins.

"I give it a 9."

Su Mo smiled at Bo Sai, the completion of "Shushan" is not bad, and the game is extremely rich in content, which is the GTA-style Shushan world. The only problem that may exist is that foreigners can't understand the world of Shushan at all, and it is not a simple translation problem, but a problem involving the cultural differences between the East and the West.

Let the people of the island country play "Shu Mountain", most of them can still understand, but let a foreigner who believes in Catholicism play "Shu Mountain", can he understand the fact that the people of the earth have cultivated and reached the same level as his God?

"I give it an 8.5." Bo Sai also gave a score, saying: "I respect the culture of China, but after all, I am a scientist on a technological planet, and I know the level of the universe very well, so I can only give 8.5 points." ”

Su Mo rolled his eyes at Bo Sai, now it's time to evaluate the game, don't use the eyes of alien technology to evaluate a Xianxia game made by a third-rate studio on the earth!

"Zeus, how many points do you give?"

"8.5 points." Zeus replied, closed his eyes after answering, and last night, he and the little French beauty chatted on the Internet for a night, and he needed to supplement his sleep.

Goat starman, you can fall asleep while standing!

"Okay, send it to IGN, send it to Steam, "Shushan" is ready to go on sale!"

……

This time, IGN's review editor is still Max. In less than a day, Su Mo received a review, and Max only gave "Shu Mountain" a score of 7.

"A pure Chinese mythological game, without mixing a little European and American views on Chinese mythology and classical culture, this is a pure Chinese martial arts game. However, because of this, I can't understand many things, I once studied Chinese for three years, and my reading and writing level is very good, but I can't read "Shushan". ”

"Game Screen: 7 points, congratulations to Goat Star Studios, which has caught up with the level of top game studios 5 years ago in terms of game image quality."

"Music: 9 points, rich Chinese classical music, the atmosphere is very well matched."

"Gameplay: 7 points, in the game "Shu Mountain", humans are too powerful, and I deliberately delayed the speed of upgrading, but when I got an artifact called Ziying, I released a skill, and then destroyed most of the game world."

"Advantages: A pure Chinese martial arts game, similar to the high degree of freedom open world of "GTA", I believe that Chinese people and Chinese culture lovers will like it."

"Disadvantages: Pure Chinese martial arts games, I can't understand a lot of places after studying Chinese for three years, even if the game language is English, I believe that most European and American players still can't understand those strange terms. Another point is that the artifact is too powerful, and Yan zhòng affects the balance of the game. ”

"Game Total: 7, GOOD."

7 points, this score Su Mo can accept, after all, there are cultural differences, Max said in the evaluation that he doesn't understand a lot of terms, saying that the Ziying Sword is too powerful, affecting the balance of the game, which is indeed a problem with the game. Of course, the problem here is that for European and American players, for Chinese players, these are not problems.

"Max, you haven't seen the power of the Purple Purple Rope Merger!" Su Mo made a hidden setting in "Shu Mountain", once the Ziying Sword and the Qingsuo Sword were merged, then the entire game world would be destroyed! After the destruction of Miè, it is a gorgeous reconstruction!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Steam also said that it could be put on the shelves for official sale. Su Mo agreed, because the game was released on the Steam platform, as long as Steam approved it, it could be sold online without the review of the relevant departments of China.

However, Chinese players can also buy Shushan on Steam, of course, in Chinese Simplified.

"It doesn't matter if you make money or not, "Shushan" should be regarded as the fulfillment of my little wish."

"Shushan", a sand table Xianxia game that is not sold in China, Xianxia is not the focus, the focus is on sand table games. Sand table games, in this country where online games, web games, and mobile games are dominant, do other domestic game companies dare to make stand-alone sand table games? The answer to this question, Su Mo didn't know, maybe, they dared, maybe, they were just afraid of the game back to basics.

Su Mo slept all night, in fact, Juno's promotion of "Shu Mountain" in the United States had not yet been rolled out, and "Shu Mountain" was sold on Steam.

"Forty-five thousand sets, not bad."

Seeing the number of sales on the first day, Su Mo smiled. The game is priced at $29.99, and so far, it seems that it has paid off. In the next few days, the sales of "Shushan" were very stable, basically selling about 30,000 sets per day. The Steam community's evaluation of "Shushan" is divided into two factions.

"Well done Goat Star, "Shushan" is the next generation of Huaguo's sand table game! We've got your back! ”

"It's finally not a bloody RPG anymore! Goat star, you are awesome! ”

"I like Goat Star Studio more and more, if I meet the boss of Goat Star Studio in reality, I must marry him!" This is a beautiful woman's evaluation.

And the above are basically the evaluations of Chinese players. As mentioned earlier, although "Shushan" is not sold in China, the Steam platform is for the world, so Chinese players can easily buy "Shushan" on the Steam platform.

On the other hand, European and American players also expressed their evaluation of "Shushan".

"Fxck Goat Star! Shit! A piece of shit! Litter! ”

“SHEEPSTAR=SHEEP

SHIT=SHEEPDOG！ ”

"Money scam game! Junk Goat Star! ”

"Never buy a game from Goat Star Studios again! Huaguo's cheater game company! FXCK！ ”

Most European and American players who have purchased "Shushan" have encountered the biggest problem that they do not understand many terms in the Shushan world, which affects the game experience. Su Mo just smiled at these comments.

In the end, "Shushan" sold 210,000 copies, and sales reached $6 million, excluding sharing and other expenses, Su Mo had more than $3 million more in his bank account.

When Goat Star Studio announced to players around the world that the sales of "Shushan" exceeded 200,000 units, many game media made an estimate of whether Goat Star Studio would return to its original cost.

Among them, IGN is the most widely spread, IGN is the world's largest gaming media after all.

"Strictly speaking, the quality of "Shushan" is not bad, and it can be regarded as the second-rate middle and lower level of the next generation. Therefore, the production cost of "Shushan" is not low, at least several times higher than that of "Beast Football: Origin". According to the consumption level of Shudu in Huaguo, we estimate that "Shushan" costs $4 million, and the revenue of Goat Star Studio is about $3 million, that is, the net profit is negative $1 million. ”

"Goat Star Studios made an attempt, and unfortunately, this attempt didn't take them any further, and even took a big step back in terms of assets. I don't know what a million dollars loss would mean for Goat Star Studios, but I just want to say that the game industry needs independent game studios from China like Goat Star, who represent the new blood of the game industry. Hopefully, the next installment from Goat Star Studios will be released soon. ”

IGN's article was reprinted in China, and many loving Chinese players left messages on the official website of Goat Star Studio, saying that they wanted to raise money for Goat Star Studio, support Goat Star Studio to go global, and challenge global game manufacturers.

However, Goat Star Studio confiscated a penny, because the fact is that Su Mo, the owner of Goat Star Studio, made more than $3 million from "Shushan".

"Dear players, thank you for your support to Goat Star, rest assured, Goat Star Studio will not be disbanded, nor will it encounter a financial crisis, we will develop more and better games! Goat Star Studio hasn't made it to the next-generation console platform yet, so how can it be light? We aspire to be the world's top game studio! ”

Su Mo asked Juno to get a statement in Chinese and hang it on the studio's official website. This statement was quickly reprinted by major game media and players, who confirmed that Goat Star Studio would continue to develop the game, but they also began to be curious about the mysterious background of Goat Star Studio.

has the technical strength to produce an IMAX blockbuster, but the actual game screen is third-rate or even not at the level of streaming. The speed of making zuò games is extremely fast and the game content is also very rich. Some media have calculated that Goat Star Studios has currently developed four games, with a total loss of about $1.5 million.

As the headquarters, the Huaguo Shudu studio does not have an official website, not even a phone, only the Mi branch has an official website, and there is an American girl named Juno who is the CEO of the Washington studio.

Why do so many contradictory situations happen on Goat Star Studios?

"It may be a rich company in Huaguo, or it may be an official background, they have strong technical strength, but they don't know how to make games. There is no shortage of wealthy people in China, and their companies are not short of official support, perhaps, as Napoleon said, this awakened lion of the East will leave its deep footprints in the global industry. ”

This is a speculation from a foreign gaming media that has been widely reprinted. In fact, the owner of Goat Star Studio is sitting in a bumblebee with two aliens, driving on the highway leading to Shanghai.
