Chapter 33: Mini Game Design Competition
Saturday 11 May, 7pm.
Gu Fan took a can of Coke from the refrigerator, and then lay comfortably on the newly bought massage chair.
The previous projector has also been replaced with the latest model, and it is also equipped with a 120-inch Fresnel anti-light curtain, and the overall viewing effect has been improved by more than one grade.
No way, the purse is bulging!
So far, the cumulative sales of Hell Trajectory have reached 890,000, with the first month basically peaking at around 470,000, and then declining rapidly and remaining at a relatively stable number.
This is unavoidable, after all, most single-player games sell most of their sales in the first month or two when they are first released, which is quite good for a small company's indie games.
If "Hell Tracks" can be added to the in-app purchase payment, it will be a lore, but unfortunately it can't be added.
"Sisyphus" has been on sale for more than half a month, and the current sales volume is 220,000.
Despite its popularity on the internet, Sisyphus' sales were not an explosion, mainly because of the game's pricing strategy.
Since Sisyphus is more expensive than Helltracks, players have seen a significant reduction in brainless buy-in. Coupled with the strategy of unconditional trial for 2 hours first, most players were discouraged after a simple experience and chose to clear the level on the website.
Although "Five Dragons Flap Wings" is an operation that all players dream of playing, and once it is successful, you can go to the Internet to install a big one, but the vast majority of players also know in their hearts that the difficulty of this thing is definitely not something they can touch.
Therefore, the two games "Hell Tracks" and "Sisyphus" are far more popular than sold.
But even so, "Sisyphus" also brought a very considerable amount of income to Paradise Games, after all, if the unit price increases, the profit will naturally increase.
At present, the funds on the books of Reverse Heaven have come to 11.36 million!
Among them, the income of "Hell Tracks" is slightly more, about more than 6.3 million, and "Sisyphus" has not yet reached the peak of sales, and it can increase slightly in the future.
This is still in the case that the account sharing of some small platforms has not had time to arrive.
It can only be said that game companies are like this, once the game is popular, the speed of making money is like turning on a money printing machine, and you can't stop it.
Of course, if you lose the game, you will lose everything.
Among the more than 11 million, Gu Fan can get a 5% bonus stably, of course, he immediately sent it to himself without hesitation.
It's a pity that the bonus that Gu Fan gave himself at present has obviously triggered the cap rate of personal income tax, which is directly 45%, which means that the bonus of 550,000 yuan can only be 300,000 yuan.
It would be false to say that it doesn't hurt, but after all, it's still more honorable to pay taxes for the country.
Coupled with the money that Gu Fan sent to himself one after another, his personal property in hand has reached 410,000.
It's not too much, it's not too much.
Want to buy a house in a place like the imperial capital? That's thinking too much, even a toilet is enough.
What about buying a car? Sorry, I can't shake the number.
But the money is enough for food, drink, and furniture.
So Gu Fan upgraded the projection equipment and bought a massage chair, and the originally empty living room looked a lot fuller.
In fact, the current projection display effect is not as good as TV,But after all, it's a rented house,It's not very convenient to move after buying a big TV,So in the end, I chose projection。
With a little more money, you might be able to think about moving.
Of the company's money, 70% will be used for the development and promotion of the next game, which has also reached nearly 8 million; 25% is the company's operating expenses, which also came to more than 2.8 million.
Obviously, the next game after "Blocks Against Heaven" has an unprecedented development budget!
……
The whole competition of this mini game design competition was held on the Internet and broadcast live in real time.
The specific schedule is: the first round of the competition will be held from 7 to 10 pm today, and several judges and guests on the scene will try the game and comment on it one by one.
Of course, online viewers can also find these games on the official platform and try them out.
Then the one-day voting process begins.
The official restrictions on voting are still relatively strict, and the official platform account will determine the voting qualifications according to the user portrait, so as to avoid the possibility of swiping votes as much as possible.
Tomorrow at 7 p.m., the host and guest judges will officially announce the various awards of this Mini Game Design Competition, and arrange special recommendation slots for the winning works.
Among them, the grand prize is 300,000 yuan, which is insignificant for game companies, and most independent game producers or small game companies come to participate in this competition not for money, but to brush their faces in front of the official and leave a good impression.
If you can get an award and get an exclusive recommendation position, you can also bring a lot of traffic to the company's other games, which can't be bought with money.
Gu Fan was lying on the massage chair, drinking Coke while waiting for the official start of the game.
He originally thought that Lilith would not come tonight, but he didn't expect that the massage chair had just been activated, and he felt a chill coming from behind him.
Gu Fan turned his head to look, and sure enough, Lilith was looking at the massage chair with a straight face.
Apparently Lilith was also speechless, and upgraded again!
In the beginning, there was only one lazy sofa in the living room; After Lilith occupied the lazy sofa, Gu Fan bought a single sofa; After Lilith occupied the single sofa, Gu Fan bought another massage chair!
The point is that this kid doesn't have any points in his heart, isn't it clear who should leave this good thing to? I have to come over and click on it myself to know how to move the nest!
Gu Fan stood up a little helplessly and gave this feng shui treasure to Lilith again.
Lilith lay down satisfied, but then she sat up again as if she had been electrocuted, apparently unexpectedly by the massage function of the massage chair, and subconsciously a little flustered.
Soon, though, she was still lying down comfortably, and although the two short legs didn't fit well in the leg area of the massage chair, the whole thing seemed to be sunk in, but she still enjoyed it.
It's really more comfortable than a single sofa!
Well, for Gu Fan's sake, the single sofa will be left to him.
Lilith thought as she turned her head to look, only to find that Gu Fan had removed the cover from the sofa on the other side, and there was another massage chair underneath.
"Huh?"
Lilith was a little confused, the size of the massage chair was a little smaller, and it seemed to be reserved for her.
As for the original single sofa, it had already been moved to the study by Gu Fan.
Gu Fan pointed to the slightly smaller massage chair, and everything was silent.
Lilith stood up silently, changed to a massage chair and lay down: "You have a little conscience." ”
Obviously, she didn't expect that Gu Fan would directly buy two of them this time.
Gu Fan sighed, returned to the massage chair and lay down, thinking to himself that if I don't buy two, I can't stand it every time I don't have my share!
After lying down comfortably, the Mini Game Design Contest officially began.
……
After the moderator briefly introduced the content and rules of the competition, he began to introduce the judges of the competition.
After all, it's an officially organized competition, and it's still very professional.
There are a total of four judges this time, and judging from their identities and positions, they should have been carefully selected.
The No. 1 judge is named Cheng Anhua, a professional game evaluator on the official platform, and also a guest on some well-known game review institutions and websites.
The second judge is called Liang Chun, an excellent independent game producer, and he is also the champion of the last mini game production competition.
The No. 3 judge is called Li Wenhao, whose screen name is "Mouse", and he is a well-known anchor. Although he is not as popular as a top streamer like Lecturer Ding, he specializes in mini-games and indie games, and is very popular in this field.
Judge No. 4 is interesting, a foreigner named Jonas, who is recognized as the number one master of the game "Spin the Cube" and the world champion of 5 consecutive tournaments.
Of course, the popularity of "Spin Cube" in this world is almost halved compared with Gu Fan's "Tetris" in his previous life, so the gold content of this so-called "world champion" has naturally decreased.
But in any case, Jonas is already the best player in the world to play Spin Cube.
The selection of the four judges is very interesting, as they represent four different identities: evaluators, designers, casual gamers, and professional players.
Obviously, the official also hopes to provide players with four different perspectives, so as to evaluate these entries more comprehensively, objectively and fairly.
