3 hours ago, home.

Meng Shu, who was writing a speech on the computer, suddenly received a congratulatory call from Director Pian.

On this rest day when no one goes to work, Unlimited Net Entertainment is also very concerned about the first-day sales of "Face".

However, it is already 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and it is less than 3 hours before the results are announced, so it can be said that the current sales volume is already the first day of sales.

[Mr. Meng, congratulations!] Your vision is really accurate, and your market evaluation ability is also sharp! The game has been loved by players as you said, and the two platforms have sold 320,000 copies so far! This achievement has far surpassed "Dark Forest" at that time! No, it's far beyond the first-day record of domestic games! ]

Director Pity's voice was a little excited, a little excited and joyful.

It can be seen that after the success of the game, she also expressed her sincere happiness, so she made a special call to report the good news.

Hearing this, Meng Shu took a sip of happy water and smiled.

"Thank you for your congratulations, as we said in our previous meeting, the game will be so popular, mainly because of the gap in the market. When other companies start to get involved, they can't play this game. ”

[Oh?] ]

The female voice on the other end of the phone was suspicious and a little puzzled.

[Can't do this game?] What does that mean? ]

Meng Shu glanced at the testimonial script in front of the computer, put down the back of the chair, leaned on it, and lazily stretched out his legs on the pedals, looking comfortable.

"Whether it's "Face", "Dark Forest", or "21 Points", it contains a lot of horror techniques and techniques, which are typical learning objects. There is a high probability that future horror games will see the shadow of these three games. When I say can't do this, I mean I can't focus too much time on these three games, and I need new ideas to attract players. ”

The other end of the phone seemed to be stunned, and then he was puzzled.

[Mr. Meng, do you mean that the next game will be more innovative than the current three?] I remember you saying that even if other companies start making horror games, you still have more than eight layers of certainty that you will get the most out of it. ]

"Of course."

Meng Shuhui's categorical decision.

"As long as our games are still VR, the competitiveness of other companies is about nothing. At the same time, I already have three horror games that have a good reputation, and compared with other horror games in the future, players will naturally prefer the one with historical achievements. ”

"No matter how bad it is..."

Meng Shu shrugged his shoulders and raised the corners of his mouth.

“... I can also do other types of games, such as a VR shooter, a racing game, or an open-world action RPG. I'm here to let players know that we're not just going to make horror games. ”

After hearing this, the supervisor on the other end of the phone nodded, and his words contained support.

[Mr. Meng, there is no doubt about your ability, you have continuously proved yourself with works and achievements, we will not doubt it.] If you want to make a shooting game, we will definitely support you, and if you need anything, you can always tell us. Do you have any plans for the next step? ]

Hearing this, Meng Shu sat up from his chair.

"Of course, as I said before, I'm going to hire a lot of technical people to port the game to consoles, because you have console channels, which saves me a lot of effort. In addition, "The Dark Forest" will be made into VR. ”

"At the same time, the company is too small now, and I am ready to relocate, but the new office location is still being chosen, and I am not sure."

The supervisor on the other end of the phone suddenly laughed.

[Then it's better to come to our side, I will explain to Mr. Liang, rent a separate floor to you, the rent is easy to say, anyway, that floor is empty. ] ]

Meng Shu shook his head and politely refused.

"Thank you, Director, you are in Haicheng, we are in Shencheng, a little far away, which is inconvenient for my current staff. And we also want to develop in the deep city, which is really embarrassing. ”

When Director Lian heard this, she didn't say anything, she just smiled stupidly, she obviously didn't think that Meng Shu would agree.

[Well, whether it is developed in Shenzhen, the special economic zone is also a first-tier city. Do you have an idea for the next new work? Why don't you have a meeting with our creative director to discuss, after all, you just said you have a lot of ideas and might just hit it off. ]

"Of course, you can pick a time, try to be by next Wednesday. As long as your creative director can embrace the concept of my new work. Also, it's time for players to discover the easter eggs I've hidden in the game. ”

Meng Shu smiled and looked at the browser in front of him.

In the drop-down menu of the search box, there is a history of past searches.

And inside, there are already several historical keywords.

They are: ***, containment, foundation, level series...

Apparently, a plan for a game universe began in his mind ...

Implement!

...

At around 8 p.m. that night, the first day testimonials of the only game were posted in two places.

One is under the dynamics of the barrage network shimmering light, and the other is a reprint of the Vbo unlimited online entertainment enterprise account.

When players heard the news, they poured into the dynamics.

The first thing I saw was a very ordinary and rudimentary poster.

The number marked above is the first-day sales of "Face".

320,000 sets of dual platforms!

When this stat was displayed on the poster, there was no shock on the faces of the players.

What's more, it's really like this.

The price of the game on the cyber platform is 99 yuan, and IGame is 70 yuan.

So far, 320,000 units have been sold!

It can be seen that this data is enough to prove the super high quality of its games and the love of players!

Coupled with the fact that it is still a rare VR game, and the solid foundation brought by the previous game "21 o'clock", "Face" can sell 320,000 units on the first day, which is really worthy of its name!

Although players found that the game has a 0% clearance rate on the cyber platform, it is normal for everyone to think that no one clears the game at the end of the day given that it is a horror game and it is scary and difficult enough.

After all, the flow of the game is not short, it is very long, and it is ridiculously long.

In addition to this humble poster, there is also a testimonial in the form of a document below.

This document looks quite serious, and one can't help but want to see what is written on it.

The first is the usual thanks, what to say thank you for the love of the players, thank the players for waiting, the only game can come to this day, make one after another games that the public likes, indispensable for everyone's support.

Then he said that "Face" has been very perfect, all aspects of the mechanism have been tested, and the product is ready for sale, without subsequent updates, and the next focus will be on the VR development of "Dark Forest" and the porting of the PC side.

Then he added that the VR version may be delayed due to the company's small staff. But rest assured, as a thank you for your support, anyone who purchases the PC version of Dark Forest will receive the VR version for free.

Finally, it's time for the follow-up game plan.

At the bottom of the document, producer Shimmer made it clear that the next game would not be huge.

The map is in a vertical form, and the space is large, open, and free. It's still a horror survival genre, but it's extremely playable, with weapons, and online features will be added.

At the same time, the game is a branch game of another big game.

When the players saw this, they were shocked and left messages one after another.

"Is there a big guy who explains what a free and open vertical map is?"

"I know about the open world, but I'm too short of an open vertical map to hear of."

"Boldly predict a wave, it should be the type of map up and down, right?"

"A branch game of another big game? What does this mean? ”

"I'm curious to see how big this big game will be. So much so that they have to have a separate branch game..."

"None of this matters, the important thing is that there are weapons! I can go online! Fog grass! You tell me that a game that can be played online with friends is still called a horror game? ”

"The production team has enlightened, and will add a weapon system to the new work, and it can also be connected, so I don't believe that I can be scared when I play with my friends."

"It's just a game of sand sculpture every minute. No matter what monsters and ghosts come, they will all kill you, don't underestimate the player! ”

"When will it come out? When will it come out? When will it come out? ”

And when the players were discussing, a well-known UP master who did plot analysis sent out a video that shocked the player circle.

The title is simple and explosive.

[Shocking Easter eggs! The three horror games of Shimmer are suspected to have the same world view! There is a mysterious organization that traverses three works in it—***! 】
