"Brother Luo, the results of the first day of the dungeon have come out......"

Pu Xingyu walked into Luo Bai's office with the data sheet in his hand, and looked at Luo Bai who was sitting on the chair and stopped talking.

Seeing him like this, Luo Bai knew that the results should not satisfy these guys who were in high morale during the development process.

"How many copies were sold?"

"Uh...... Only a little more than 400,000. ”

Pu Xingyu's face was a little ugly.

The pricing of the dark dungeon is the same as that of Ori, 68 yuan, and the result of more than 400,000 yuan must not be said to be bad for China.

can be compared with Aori, you can clearly see the huge gap.

After all, it was his first work from the programming post to the planning post, and Pu Xingyu still had the idea that the dark dungeon could replicate the success of Ori and soar into the sky.

"What do you mean by just over 400,000 a little? That's a good result, at least I'm satisfied. ”

Luo Bai rolled his eyes,

"What was the condition of Ozhi at that time? There are no masterpieces in the industry, and they have eaten a lot of heat by virtue of the dispute with Tianxing.

What's more, the theme and art of the game itself are also very eager to buy, how can the sales of the dark dungeon be compared with Ori in a short period of time? ”

Pu Xingyu pursed his lips and shook his head:

"If it's just sales, I don't think it's much, but the reputation of the dungeon is obviously not as explosive as Ori was at the beginning.

At present, the positive rating on steam is only 75%, and most of them are positive.

The vast majority of players who gave bad reviews felt that the randomness of the game was too big and too difficult, and some people even talked about why we didn't do Ori 2......"

"I expected that."

Luo Bai nodded.

"Dark Dungeon" is actually a very extreme game compared to the wide audience of Ori, and those who like it love it to the bone, and those who don't like it can't wait to spray the production team with dog blood after experiencing the mechanics in the game that seem to be specially disgusting to the player.

But there's no denying that the game is actually quite fun and durable.

The virtue of being exploded by the monster's continuous rush to gather fire, a critical blow when someone stepped forward in despair, or the perfect monster control and pressure after mastering the various mechanics of this game......

It can make players who like to challenge themselves feel a heartfelt pleasure in their hearts.

To put it mildly, it's not the kind of work that can bloom its charm in the first week and first month, it's a work that requires players to constantly die, try and make mistakes, and finally slowly increase sales with word-of-mouth and the love of die-hard fans.

But to put it mildly, this game is purification, he put all his shortcomings and advantages at the beginning of the game without scruples, and he is clearly telling you, if you like to play, you can play, and if you don't like to play, you will be refunded.

To be honest, it is undoubtedly a bit out of place to come up with such a work at the first stop after the reorganization of the original intention.

After all, capital is short-sighted, and now the market's expectations for the original intention are still in the infinite scenery of Ori, and now he has taken out such a game, and he can't say that rumors will spread on the Internet again.

However, Luo Bai still has his own considerations.

At that time, the potential of Ori had not yet been exhausted, and it was able to sell worldwide with the TGA Game of the Year, which is remarkable for now.

In recent days, sales have exceeded the six million mark.

On the other hand, the first build of a new team is definitely to choose relatively simple game mechanics to try out.

All the game mechanics of Dark Dungeon are actually very simple, there is nothing beyond the ordinary, and the core point of everything is creativity.

"You don't have to worry about the sales and word-of-mouth of the Dark Dungeon for now, enjoy the paid vacation, and prepare for the development of Hollow Knight in a month's time.

Running this kind of thing, the rest of the company will naturally take care of it. ”

Under Luo Bai's orders, Pu Xingyu could only open the door and leave aggrievedly.

At the beginning, it was not like this in the broken community, although there were only four people, but whether it was the design of the game, the development, and the follow-up publicity, everything could be discussed together.

But now that the plate is bigger and more formal, it's not that he can't understand it, but he still feels a little uncomfortable.

Looking at Pu Xingyu's lost back, Luo Bai just shook his head.

After all, there are only a few generalists in this world, and it is good to be able to do the things at hand well, and it is better to have clear rights and responsibilities.

It's just that Pu Xingyu just turned around and walked out of the office, and it didn't take long for the door to be knocked again.

"Please come in!"

Xiao Weirui pushed the door and walked straight in front of Luo Bai.

"Mr. Luo, now that there have been some negative reports on the Internet about the Dark Dungeon and Chuxin, do we need to do something now?"

Xiao Weirui's work style Luo Bai still likes it very much, there is something to say, there are no other twists and turns.

Looking at the document handed over by Xiao Weirui, Luo Bai didn't need to look at it to know what it was.

It's nothing more than his own Jiang Lang's talents, and the dark dungeon grades died violently and something like that.

"Don't pay attention to these negative reports, the sales of more than 400,000 on the first day are also a proper first-line level in China.

The main task of the publicity department is to promote the company's new game "Hollow Knight" on a small scale.

Take this proposal back and take a good look at it. ”

As he spoke, Luo Bai took out a plan that had just been written from his drawer and handed it to Xiao Weirui.

"Olympian-like ......"

Xiao Weirui's expression was first happy, and then she frowned,

"Mr. Luo, shouldn't it be Ori 2?"

Xiao Weirui was able to step out of her comfort zone and come to the new field of games, naturally because she took a fancy to the huge potential of Chuxin Game Studio, or Luo Bai.

Compared with the great success of Ori, the dark dungeon is undoubtedly a "failure" work in her eyes, but as long as Ori's basic plate does not fall, Xiao Weirui will not panic at all.

At the moment, she was happy to see the "Quasi-Olympic Day", but it was not the empty knight that still made her feel a little apprehensive.

"It's not worse than Ori, if I were to evaluate it, both the Hollow Knight and Ori are the two most outstanding in this field.

It's just that each has its own emphasis. ”

Luo Bai smiled gently.

Xiao Weirui nodded slightly, and didn't say anything more, she trusted Luo Bai's opinion on the game, that's all.

"Ah~"

After Xiao Weirui left, Luo Bai stretched out with his back against the sofa.

Looking at the ceiling, he hooked the corners of his mouth, although the Dark Dungeon is a game that requires players to try and make mistakes to bloom their own unique charm, but in fact, players still need some outside guidance.

For example, in Luo Bai's previous life, if there was no strategy called "Lao Chen Standalone" up master for reference, he couldn't bear the pain before seeing the true charm of this game.

Chuxin doesn't need to do this kind of guidance, but Luo Bai can.

Shocked! In order to save the reputation of the game, the boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions was forced to open for business! 》
