Chapter 8: So I'm Awesome!

"Killing the Spire" is on fire.

Under the word of mouth of players, more than 6,000 copies were sold in just one day, and the momentum was even faster than that of "Braveheart".

All of a sudden, Chen Lin's wealth increased by more than 100,000.

And because of the novel gameplay, relaxed and casual, diverse genres and non-repetitive characteristics, it has attracted a large number of players to enter the pit, and various strategy discussion posts have emerged in endlessly.

Even on major short video websites, there are all kinds of saucy routines to share (show off), which quickly set off a wave of comparison.

......

"Boss, something is wrong! Come and see! ”

Inside the Dawn Studio.

As soon as Lao Song entered the door early in the morning, a bald programmer greeted him with a tablet, his eyes widening.

"What's wrong, what's going on here, did the code you wrote yesterday crash again?"

Lao Song frowned, this guy usually looks quite quiet, why did he suddenly become so frizzy today.

"No, it's a game, the game we made before is on fire!"

The programmer gasped and said in fits and starts, with a flush of excitement on his face.

Is their game on fire?

Hearing this, Lao Song didn't react for a while.

If he's not mistaken, they've only released a few audio games and racing games before.

Although it has made some money, it is far from the extent of becoming popular.

Could it be that the luck has rubbed off on what mainstream popularity?

Thinking of this, he couldn't be calm, and hurriedly asked, "Which one is it?" Is the game we released earlier out of the circle? ”

"No, it's the Killing Spire we outsourced some time ago! On the first day of release, sales exploded directly! It also rushed into the daily sales list! ”

"What did you say?!"

Old Song's heart shook suddenly.

Killing the Spire, isn't that exactly the game that Chen Lin outsourced to them before?

When he sent the game file, he also said that no one had ever done this type of game, and he might not respond well, so be mentally prepared.

But now she told him.

That game is on fire!

"Where? Show me! ”

Walking into the studio, Lao Song immediately came to the computer in a hurry, clicked on the steam platform under the operation of the programmer, and after a while, the game homepage of "Slaying the Spire" came into view.

[Game: Slay the Spire]

[Genre: Card Building, Turn-Fighting, Strategy, Rogue]

[Synopsis: Inside and outside the tower, there are cursed people, their souls are imprisoned in the tower, and only by climbing this Tower of Babel that leads to heaven can they find themselves. 】

[Price: 50 yuan]

[Evaluation: rave reviews]

At the bottom of the homepage, there are all positive reviews.

What shocked Lao Song even more was that this game was really on the daily sales list.

With an extremely strong attitude, rush into the top ten!

As the owner of a game studio, he knows very well how high the gold content of this list is, and it is all calculated based on real-time sales.

Not to mention the top ten.

Even if it's in the top 100, the games they release haven't even touched the edge once!

"This ...... Is it really the game we made? ”

Lao Song swallowed his saliva, only to feel that his mouth was dry.

Other employees who received the news also left their seats and quickly gathered around.

"Can't be wrong, it's the game we made before! I'm familiar with this cover! ”

"And those character silhouettes, I used graphic tools to compose!"

"My mother, I am so awesome?"

Everyone, you and I can't believe that this is actually a game made by your own hands.

It's like one day, someone says that the mud figure you pinched is a work of art.

They don't think it's their own work.

After all, if making games could be so easy to become popular, they would have jumped to those big companies a long time ago.

Will you still be in this little studio and write code?

Other words.

It's the game itself that's on fire.

It's this gameplay and design!

Dawn was just lucky.

But even so, they were extremely excited.

Because it's an affirmation of their abilities!

Especially in the industry, it's easy for other manufacturers to find out which company took over the production of the game.

The popularity of "Killing the Spire" is undoubtedly a good advertisement for Dawn Studio, and you are worried that you will not be able to receive a big order in the future?

Don't even have to swallow your anger anymore to pick up the leftover that the big companies picked!

"Just because you're so beautiful~"

At this time, a mobile phone rang suddenly, waking up the stunned old Song.

Pick it up and take a look.

It's the studio that helped him make this game before, and it's one of the few friends he has in the industry.

"Old Song, you're a little unkind, such a potential game outsourcing actually told me that it was a private order, don't you look down on your brother."

A reproachful voice came from the other end of the line.

"I kid you not, it's really a private order."

Lao Song has not recovered from the shock until now, and the whole person is in a state of confusion.

"And said that you didn't lie to me, can a private person come up with such a high-quality CG? And take out so much at once, to be honest, is this the order you received from those big factories? ”

"Uh......"

Lao Song opened his mouth and glanced at the promotional page of "Killing the Spire", and he didn't know how to explain it for a while.

After being silent for a long time, he told the whole story.

After listening to it, there was a sudden sound of inhaling from the other side.

"Private orders can do this level, it's not easy, remember to introduce me another day, if there is a similar outsourcing, don't be polite to me, I'll call more people to help."

"Okay, hang up first, I still have a lot of things to deal with here."

Hanging up the phone, Lao Song let out a sigh of relief, he didn't expect this old friend to receive the news so quickly.

After thinking for a while, he picked up his mobile phone again and called Chen Lin.

But the response is that the line has been busy and cannot be connected.

After a few failed attempts, I had to give up for the time being.

......

The other side.

Xingyou company headquarters.

"Director, this week's game list is out."

An employee walks into the office with a document in hand.

He is a person who specializes in market research, so as soon as the list is updated, he immediately sorts out a piece of information and submits it.

"Well, well done."

Yang Liang took the information and asked while flipping through it: "How is the sales of the game we released before?" ”

"This ...... The response didn't seem to be good, and it barely made it to the bottom of the daily sales list. The employee said cautiously.

"The end?"

Yang Liang paused, frowned and raised his head: "This game is our flagship product, not only invested a lot of manpower and material resources, but also spent nearly a year, but only this achievement?" What is the propaganda department doing over there? ”

Bang!

The document was slammed onto the table.

The sound spread through the walls throughout the office area, startling all the employees and shrinking their heads.

To know.

That game was their company's top project of the year.

In addition to the big production and the cost of more than 100 million yuan, it also invited the popular little fresh meat to advertise and endorse, which can be described as full of confidence.

The bottom of the daily sales list is good for those small companies, but it is far from meeting their expectations, and they can't even pay for themselves.

No wonder Yang Liang is so angry.

on this.

The people in the Propaganda Department could only scoff at it.

Because they know very well that the so-called cost of more than 100 million yuan, most of which are used to invite traffic stars.

With the rest of the money, it can be regarded as a high incense to make a game that squeezes into the daily sales list.

even put the blame on their propaganda department, and they didn't want to lose their faces.

And at this time.

Inside the office.

Yang Liang, who suppressed his anger, continued to flip through the information, checking other games on the daily sales list, hoping to find a way to save him.

After all, such an achievement, the board of directors is not easy to explain.

He'll have to find a way to exculpate him.

"Huh? It's ......"

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the top ten of the daily sales list.

No. 5: "Killing the Spire"

Kill the Spire?

Isn't this the game that Dawn Studios called before and asked them to help with it!?
