Chapter 139: How Is It Possible to Make a Profit?? (Three more to ask for a monthly pass!) )

Huang Wang stared until 6 o'clock in the evening.

I have to say that what happened in the past two days is really magical!

He watched "Hell Bad Devil" go from being scolded by 10,000 people at the beginning, to now it is out of the circle with a very weird black and red attitude, and the sales are much higher than he imagined!

Originally, Huang Wang didn't think that this game could make money at all, and even selling more than 10,000 was a miracle.

But now, the sales volume has exceeded 50,000!

Huang Wang simply calculated the income of this game, according to 18 yuan per game, Hell Front already has a net income of nearly 600,000 yuan!

As for whether this money can cover the development cost of the game?

Huang Wang didn't know, because he didn't know how much the game would cost to develop.

On the program's side, he knew that it was nothing more than his salary, the rent of the house, and the money from buying climbing game templates online, all of which were added up to more, basically less than 150,000.

But it's clear that this isn't a big part of the game's development costs.

The art resources of this game are so exquisite, and there is a special Dubbing of Hell Language, plus the funds for publicity and promotion, how can these all start with a million, right?

If the sales volume is only 10,000, then the net income of this game is more than 100,000, which is absolutely useless.

And now the sales volume is 50,000, according to the current momentum estimates, maybe the final sales can barely reach 100,000?

Huang Wang was still pondering, and the security door opened.

At 6 o'clock, Mr. Sa arrived on time, but there were two people behind him, the young man and the bad girl that Huang Wang had seen before.

Azazler looked at Huang Wang: "Okay, you can get off work." ”

Huang Wang was a little surprised, so early? It's only six o'clock!

This is completely inconsistent with Sam's character.

Huang Wang didn't even want to leave, after all, there was nothing to do to go back to his damp semi-basement so early, so it was better to play with the computer here for a while.

But looking at the two people behind Mr. Sa, Huang Wang guessed that they might be talking about something important, so he had to nod and go out.

Forget it, let's find an Internet café to play for a while.

When Huang Wang left, Azazler hurriedly closed the door and changed his face in an instant.

"Dear Lord Lilith, welcome to your visit!

"Do you want to start fulfilling your previous contract right away?

"No problem at all, 1 out of 10 negative emotions are immediately served to you."

Azazel had a smile on his face, and it was clear that he had been in hell all day, and he was still a little confused.

Lilith looked at Gu Fan.

In fact, she hasn't fully figured out the situation yet, she only knows that Gu Fan told her in advance that she would come to Xingwangyuan Community to meet directly today.

As for the next steps? can only look at Gu Fan's arrangement.

Gu Fan coughed lightly twice: "Mr. Sa, who said it was one-tenth?" It's three-quarters.

"Moreover, please hand over all your company's profits."

Azazler's smile instantly froze on his face, but after all, he was a demon with excellent psychological quality, and he quickly reacted: "You're not joking, are you?" Do you want to say that "Hell Bad Devil" is profitable?

"How is that possible! The total promotion fund for this game is 500,000, and it was all spent on the first day. In the case of full exposure, the sales on the first day were only more than 10,000.

"In the next three days, sales will inevitably fall off a cliff, and now the sales of "Hell Bad Devil" may not reach 20,000.

"No matter how you calculate it, it can't be profitable!"

Gu Fan smiled slightly: "Oh? Mr. Nasa, take a look, what is the current sales of "Hell Bad Demon"? ”

Azazler's expression became serious, and he had a vague sense of foreboding, but he could not imagine any possibility of overturning.

Could it be that the game is like "Sisyphus", what is wrong?

But it is also written in the contract that if such a bug occurs, he does not need to hand over any negative emotions!

How do you fatten things?

Azazler turned on the backstage suspiciously, and then he saw the sales data of "Hell's Bad Devil" at this time.

54,387 servings!

Azazler was instantly struck by lightning: "No! That's impossible!! ”

The specific cost of "Hell Bad Devil" was already very clear to Azazel and Lilith when they signed the contract.

The development cost of the game itself is about 130,000 yuan, which includes Huang Wang's salary, the rent of the house and other daily expenses of the company, as well as the money to buy game templates and fragmentary feature templates.

As for art and music resources? That's all out of hell, what kind of money!

Of course, Azazler also knew that if the cost was only 130,000, it would be easy to make a profit accidentally, so he also included the marketing expenses, a total of 500,000.

This money is not a lot, and it did not make any big waves, but it suddenly increased the total cost of "Hell Bad Demon" to 630,000!

According to this cost calculation, and then considering factors such as account sharing and tax deduction on different platforms, "Hell Bad Demon", which costs 18 yuan a piece, must be sold for at least about 50,000 copies before it is possible to return to the cost!

And this is absolutely impossible in Azazel's opinion!

And that's exactly what happened.

The sales of "Hell Bad Devil" were only more than 10,000 points on the first day, and there was a sharp decline on the second day.

After all, the marketing funds are gone, the ratings of the game are out, and the number of new players who buy the game has decreased significantly.

What about negative emotions?

Azazel has made a lot of money!

Although sales have dropped significantly, it doesn't mean that fewer people are playing the game. Since the game itself has a 2-hour free trial strategy, the negative emotions produced by each player in these two hours are also very considerable!

Two days ago, Azazel's negative sentiment from the game "Infernal Devil" had reached 860,000!

This is completely beyond Sisyphus before the bug.

And so far, Azazler has taken a look at the negative emotions provided by this game, and there is a good increase, and the total amount has reached 2.04 million!

This achievement made him sincerely proud of himself.

Who says negative emotion collection is hard?

But now, Azazel was overjoyed and miserable.

Why did this game sell more than 50,000?

No wonder the negative sentiment is still rising in the past two days, it turns out that there are still new players coming in!

If he hadn't signed that investment agreement, Azazler would have gone crazy, but now he thinks of heaven and hell.

The entry into force of the investment agreement means that Azazler will not only hand over all the profits after the return of capital, but also give three-quarters of the negative sentiment value!

That's a full 1.53 million!

The follow-up "Hell Bad Demon" has been earning, and he has to keep giving!

"Impossible! It's absolutely impossible! ”

Azazler looked at Gu Fan angrily: "You must have done something!" It's clearly written in the contract, and there can't be ......"

Gu Fan nodded: "Yes, it is clearly written in the contract that there can be no bugs that deviate significantly from the original design and cause the game to be abnormally profitable, otherwise you don't need to pay any negative emotions."

"However, so far, there have been no similar bugs in "Hell Bad Devils".

Obviously, Azazler couldn't accept this reality at all, he first looked it up on the Internet, and then called Huang Wang to ask about the specific situation.

Eventually, he figured it out.

The reason why "Hell Bad Devil" was able to earn income that was completely different from what was originally expected was mainly due to three reasons.

The first is that the mysterious speedrunner Brother Quan Greed launched a "Cesspool Butterfly Swimming Competition" to all anchors and UP masters, which continued the popularity of "Hell Bad Devil"!

The second is that the mysterious mod maker has provided succubus skin mods, voice mods, and save mods to improve the game's replayability!

The third is because the game is so bad that it has rushed to the top of the bad review list, so players began to praise each other, creating hot spots and further enhancing their popularity!

The three things added up in a short period of time, which naturally caused the sales of this game to increase abnormally!

Of course, if the game quality of "Hell Bad Demon" is slightly higher, such as "Sisyphus" or "The Legend of Destiny Wo Long", and there is a bug that can improve the gameplay, there should be room for further improvement in sales, and it is even possible to break 100,000.

But it's so rubbish, so even with such a high popularity, most players still won't choose to buy it, and the final sales are only more than 50,000.

But even with more than 50,000 sales, this game has already made money!

As for the special bugs that make the game profitable?

Sorry, not really!

If you have to reluctantly say that it has changed the function of the game, there is only a mod, but the mod is not a bug, it is not even the content of the game itself.

It's just a third-party program voluntarily developed by some people on the Internet, and players are free to download and use it voluntarily, and it has nothing to do with the official at all.

Azazel hated it, and he wanted to find out who the mod author llsdydyzzr was, but he couldn't find out, and he couldn't do anything.

Can I get the mod off the shelves? Yes, but only if there is an obvious infringement of the mod, such as the model used was stolen from another game. In this case, if the developer is more serious and sues the website, it is possible to remove the mod from the shelves.

But the succubus appearance replacement mod does not use the existing materials, it is completely made by this author himself, and there is no handle at all!

Azazel sat down in his chair as if all his strength had been drained.
