Chapter 18: Excellent news
Under the recommendation of Lao Wang's game, thousands of players purchased and downloaded the game, and then experienced what it means to travel through time and space.
They said that they just went to play the game superficially, and then unknowingly passed the refund time, and then inexplicably stayed all night.
When the first rays of the morning sun hit their faces, they were surprised to find that they had been playing a game for the night.
AmazingοΌ
Now that everyone is busy, playing a game for two or three hours is already worth the money.
This kind of all-night game play to the end is still a happy experience, and it has been pitiful recently.
And after playing, the feeling of emptiness, loneliness and coldness did not appear, but was full of a sense of accomplishment and the urge to go to the next dungeon.
90% of players quickly landed on the water vapor platform before closing the game and getting ready for work, and pressed the thumbs up "recommended" hard.
A large number of players yawned on the commuting subway while using their phones to write good reviews for the game.
"So-so." From players who have been playing for more than twenty hours.
"When I saw the label, I was here for color. But then I found out that this thing is much cooler than coloring. β
"One of the masterpieces of the meat pigeon category. I can't remember how many different pieces of equipment I've gotten and how many ways I've killed bosses. But I've found that every time I feel like I'm invincible, the game gives me a slap in the face with a better routine. β
"Bad naming as always, terrible type labels as always. The only thing that's not bad is the exploding off-screen gameplay. β
"It's hard to imagine that in this day and age, there would be people who would make all kinds of settings for a small and inconspicuous prop. For example, in the game, you can get a little mirror. Through this mirror, you see what you look like; You can reflect the sunlight from the outside and kill certain enemies who are afraid of the sun; In certain environments, you can go through a mirror to another scene; You can even grind the mirror and cast certain spells. β
"If there's silver in the mirror, then you can also use the mirror shards to kill some vampire-like monsters. With a small mirror, there are hundreds of different ways to use it, and this game really surprised me. β
A lot of praise made the game's evaluation quickly soar to "very good".
Inspired by their love for Princess Dungeon, these players began bringing their own food, recording their moments and posting videos online.
Thanks to the excellent quality and perfect randomness, any player will encounter some famous scenes more or less during the game.
Caught at a loss by the monster, the peak turned around when he was almost finished, and accidentally activated a certain mechanism, but burned the boss to death in the mechanism.
One accidentally fell from the upper floor of the dungeon, and after smashing through several floors, the boss room happened to be below, and the boss was just killed by himself.
Of course, there are more examples of accidental deaths than examples of unexpected successes.
Some players even started to summarize the different ways to die in the game, and ended up with a lot of interesting moments.
On the 14th day of the launch of Princess Dungeon, the game finally became popular.
The spread of social media has finally reached a critical point, so that this "love" game has finally formed a trend of reaching the top.
In the second week, "Princess Dungeon" finally reached 150,000 sales. And based on the current form, it is likely that it will eventually sell 300,000 units.
For an indie studio priced at $68 and for three people, that's big enough to invite everyone to the Maldives for a week's vacation.
Seeing the more than 7 million soft girl coins on the account, Xu Qingling's eyes widened and counted zeros repeatedly, and then he sighed that the game is really a profiteering industry.
While Xu Qingling was puzzled, Fang Cheng was also confused.
Is this kind of inexplicable love game that defeats the boss, dies inexplicably, and has no love elements at all, is it really popular?
You don't pursue the princess, but discuss what routine is invincible, are you mistaken about the point?
Is this way of playing really fun?
Fang Cheng, who paid off the arrears in less than a month, and even had a balance of 6 million, sighed again in his office.
Video games, it's really hard.
Of course, there are no doubts about "Princess Dungeon".
Some people say that the princess dungeon is a low-cost skin-changing game that sells dog meat with a sheep's head, attracts the old color pie in the way of the old color batch, and touches the porcelain "King Dungeon" in terms of content.
In response, players who played "Princess Dungeon" immediately squirted back.
You go over and swap out 3,000 different prop effects.
Then change the skin, and expand the number of dungeons from thirteen to tens of thousands now.
Finally, we changed the skin and made the so-called environmental system as perfect as possible, just like the real simulation.
To be able to do this, we don't say anything if you change the skin ten times, and even shout the light of the domestic game, and then find a place to offer you.
There is no need for Fangcheng Studio to invite someone to come over for public relations, and fans of the game who have played well can spray this group of sunspots without even slag.
Of course, some people are happy and some are worried.
While the sales of "Princess Dungeon" were rising, the empty studio had entered a gloomy state.
I thought that I could use "Dungeon of Kings" to push the company's stock price up by a few percentage points, but I didn't expect a "Princess Dungeon" to come out, and a few slaps smashed the company's upward trend, and finally made the stock price fall by a few percentage points.
On the day the stock price fell, the boss of Tianyi called the empty office with a pale face.
The two of them didn't know what they said in the office, but they knew that after they came out, their faces became even more iron-blue.
At this time, no one in the empty studio dared to go up and touch this moldy head.
But just because they don't look for trouble doesn't mean trouble won't come to them.
The main planner Huang Ping was called to the office by Kongkong, and the anger from the top became more cathartic to Huang Ping, and he didn't stop until Kongkong's mouth was dry.
Exhausted, he slumped in his chair and asked emptyly, "How is the moon flowing now?" β
Wiping the saliva off his face, Huang Ping said helplessly: "It was still possible to break 100 million before, and the players who bought the monthly card first are still playing, but ......"
"But what?" Sora asked impatiently.
"But player retention is declining, and by next month, it could be less than 2 million."
Hearing this number, Sora felt a little like vomiting blood.
50 million R&D expenses, as a result, may not even be able to recover the cost now.
And when he thought of bringing so much trouble to himself, it was actually the young man who dared to contradict him before, and he gritted his teeth with hatred, and he couldn't wait to come to the door and beat each other now.
With a long breath, he said to Huang Ping, the chief planner: "How did you think about that idea before? β
"Is that the idea of adding PVP to the dungeon?"
"Knowingly ask!"
"Nitpicking!" Huang Ping scolded secretly
You think so much every day, you don't explain it, where do I know which idea!
However, he also knew that the producer was angry now, so he immediately said: "It's not easy to play, after all, the game of meat pigeon is not easy to grasp in terms of balance." It's not very easy to make a balanced system that everyone is satisfied with and take care of the feelings of Krypton players. β
"Then think about it!"
Brutally kicked Huang Ping out, and thought about what to do in the office.
I know that in terms of random gameplay, "King Dungeon" is already difficult to compete with "Princess Dungeon".
Even with colored eyes and all kinds of prejudices in his heart, he has to admit that the quality of "Princess Dungeon" is very outstanding.
Now, the only way to deal with this is to make further innovations in the gameplay and move the core of the game from PVE to PVP.
Indignantly opened station b, he was about to take a look at the comparison of the two games on station b, and then saw a message that made his mind confused.
"Princess Dungeon" is out of PVP!
