Chapter 21: The development of "21 o'clock" is complete!

The next day, Meng Shu clicked on the developer background of the cyber platform, and the moment he saw the sales, he couldn't help but laugh out loud in the office.

In three weeks, the sales of his "Dark Forest" have risen significantly after the official version was announced yesterday.

166W sets have been sold now!

The sales amount has reached an unimaginable 114.5 million!

This money, for a new company, finally has a little confidence.

Although compared to the assets of the original world, this money is still a little less.

But what self-made entrepreneur has 1 small goal in three weeks?

However, this is also thanks to the advertisements placed by Unlimited Online Entertainment on the whole network.

Now open a mainstream video website, and you can see the promotion of "Dark Forest".

Not to mention other medium-sized websites, which must have attracted a lot of people.

"Dark Forest" can have the current results, in addition to its excellent quality, more because it has eaten the dividends of the world's blank market.

The extremely good depressive atmosphere and terrifying survival gameplay allow players to taste something new for the first time, and at the same time, it can also stimulate their senses and psychology by the way.

It's like Meng Shu eating hot pot for the first time, although he is afraid of spicy, he just wants to eat, even if the weather is hot, he has to eat steaming hot pot in an air-conditioned room.

Even at the expense of drinking Wang Lao Jijia Duobao, he also wanted the refreshing feeling of a piece of meat.

Now that the official version of Dark Forest has been released, it is only natural that the game will be retired with the passage of time.

This is an inevitable problem.

But Meng Shu wanted to keep the game hot.

Then the best thing to do is...

"Open mod."

Meng Shu looked at the computer screen and spoke softly.

MOD is a game mod, which can optimize and enhance the game itself, so that the game has more possibilities and more playing experience.

It turns out that the steam platform in the world has a creative workshop, which is full of mods for various games.

The cyber platform in this world has a similar name, which is simpler, directly called 'MOD Community'.

Meng Shu grinned, smiled lightly, and lifted Erlang's legs.

"Opening up the "Dark Forest" to players, allowing players to make their favorite mods to enter, adding freshness to the game, increasing playability, adding new plots, and allowing players to optimize the game content by themselves is the best way for a game to maintain its popularity."

He said slowly, remembering the most classic game in the original world.

The Elder Scrolls 5!

This game was released in 11 years, but until he crossed over, the game was still hot, relying on mods to become popular around the world, and there are new mods every three or five to enhance the freshness of the game.

There are even players who have made this game of swords and sorcery into a game of swords and sorcery through mods.

Some players have turned this role-playing game with a sense of 0 blow into an action RPG with a sense of swords and fists through MOD, and the sense of blow has skyrocketed.

It's really the player who taught the developer to make the game series.

Just because of the MOD, this game has been popular for eleven years!

It can be seen how long the game modification with the participation of players is.

Therefore, in order to keep the game hot and topical, Meng Shu doesn't mind opening up the MOD community and allowing players to make limited modifications on the basis of the game.

But this doesn't need him to go out in person, recruit a group of programmers to get it, and it is also convenient to port the game to other platforms.

And he just needs to concentrate on developing new games.

Then, he wrote a congratulatory letter, the main content of which was to celebrate the breakthrough of "Dark Forest" 150W sets, thank everyone for their support and so on.

At the same time, he also emphasized in it that the VR game "21 o'clock" will be released on time on the IGame platform in the form of free, so please support it at that time.

After writing this congratulatory letter, he casually posted it under the account dynamics of his danmaku.com, and then ignored it.

"21 o'clock" was released for free to prove sincerity.

He knows that the VR games in this world are extremely bad because of technical problems, and even if a well-known manufacturer makes a move, it will end in a fiasco.

I also know that gamers are skeptical and distrustful of VR games.

It's not hard to see why.

Putting aside the original world is equivalent to jumping out of a small factory in a corner, claiming that he wants to develop "Red Dead Redemption 2" in a month with the ability of four or five people, which seems so funny and so overwhelming.

So when Meng Shu said that he would develop a VR game that even a big manufacturer couldn't do within a month, players didn't expect it, on the contrary, they didn't even pay attention.

There are only the original congratulatory comments that broke 20W on the Internet and some reprinted articles that no one has read for a long time.

Everyone's focus is more on "Gloomy Forest".

It can be seen how distrustful the players in this world are of VR games, or distrust of Meng Shu.

This can lead to a situation where players don't buy the game after it is released.

Even if the follow-up keeps up with sales because of excellent quality, it is just a matter of time to prove.

Therefore, he decided that when the VR game "21 o'clock" was released, it would be in the form of a free download, so that everyone could experience the experience with the mentality of giving it a try and not spending money anyway.

After all, VR is popular, and you can use VR to play games if you have a computer at home.

When they were shocked by this kind of game experience that surpassed the current era, Meng Shu believed that the next VR horror game...

Absolutely out of the circle!

His free idea was persuaded many times by Infinite Internet Entertainment, but he ignored it.

So in the end, I had no choice but to agree to Meng Shu to put it on the IGame platform for free.

However, the commission of "Dark Forest" will increase by 0.5%, which counts as the price of "Blackjack" for free release.

This can only be said to be the essence of a businessman, and Meng Shu doesn't care.

Now that the matter of "Gloomy Forest" has come to an end, it is time to concentrate on the development of "21 o'clock".

A month away from the ambition, but there is only one week left.

Meng Shu looked at the monkey simple development engine in front of him.

Inside, it is the scene made by Xia Nianzhen.

I have to say that this girl's technology is really good.

Although there are some gaps with the original game, it is basically a high-quality copy.

At this point, he was relieved.

Now there is one more question.

is "21 o'clock" as a DLC for "Resident Evil 7", and its characters are related to the game itself.

Now take it out and make it into a new indie game, then in terms of character relationships, you have to modify and modify.

Meng Shu sat on the chair with his hands folded on his chest, frowning and thinking.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of a very good reference!

Saw Horror!

That's right!

"21 o'clock" opens with Lucas explaining the rules of the game and controlling the game to players and opponents through a black-and-white TV.

So why not remove Lucas's character and adapt it into a jigsaw-like character?

Put another mask on him and revise his lines.

That's not too much like that!

As he said, Meng Shu immediately began to revise it.

In addition, because the game is only a small DLC, it does not create too much of the main character Clancy's opponent Hoffman.

Now to make "21 Points" a standalone game, then the characters also need to be plump.

Therefore, in terms of lines, the protagonist Clancy and his opponent Hoffman should also be added, so that players can be impressed, and it is best to feel the hardships of survival!

Thinking of this, Meng Shu's hands gradually increased in frequency...

Then in the rest of the time, he also contacted Infinite Internet Entertainment and asked them to help find the right dubbing and soundtrack by giving them the script.

And this publisher is also worthy of being the head manufacturer in China, and in three days, it sent encrypted audio.

Meng Shu quickly imported it into the program, and the engine automatically matched and optimized, saving him a lot of energy.

Finally, under Meng Shu's magic reform and development, this indie VR game "21 o'clock" is finally completed!
