The popularity of an indie game, without the interference of external forces, often comes and goes quickly.

The so-called external force is naturally an off-site means such as promotion and marketing.

The same is true of the [Cold Window Bitter Reading Simulator], although it has exploded for a while for various reasons, but this kind of heat is rootless water, and it is impossible to last long.

Even if Chen Ba deliberately went to two big anchors to help with live broadcast promotion in order to continue his popularity, this method could not change the general trend of the daily decline in the popularity of the game.

Another week passed, and as we moved into mid-July, game sales couldn't go up anymore.

The average daily sales growth of several thousand has become a thing of the past, and with the precipitous decline in popularity, it is now difficult to maintain the average daily downloads even in the triple digits.

Popularity dropped, which led to a plummeting number of game downloads......

The chain reaction caused by the sharp drop in game downloads was that Chen Ba's income plummeted, and the previous daily income gradually became dispensable.

The single-player game looks like this!

Although his income has experienced a round of ups and downs, Chen Ba's mood is still very stable, at least he does not have any thoughts of pity or regret.

From the moment he chose to play single-player, he had anticipated this situation.

Stand-alone buyout games, aren't they all one-shot deals!

Even if it's those 3A masterpieces, it's a bit hot and sales when the game was first released, and returning players tend to be saturated, and the popularity and sales will plummet.

"It's no wonder that online games are popular, this kind of one-shot deal is far worse than the continuous karma leeks of online games."

Chen Ba sighed.

As a stand-alone manufacturer, making money is just the wave of the game being released, and how much you can earn is how much, unless you "break the bone" and engage in low-price promotions in history, it is difficult for the revenue flow to make any big improvement.

On the other hand, on the side of online games, the operation planner thinks of an activity casually, gets some game values, skins and props to sell, or makes a new card pool for players to draw, and the money will flow into his pocket, which is simply a lot of money.

The key is that the core players who like to play online games are like leeks one after another.

Got a wave cut this month?

It's okay! The salary is paid next month, and you can cut another wave.

What a high-quality leek!

It's like a stand-alone player.,To buy a game, you have to go to the website to check the "historically low" price.,If you don't give the historically low price, it's not sincere.,If there's no sincerity, we won't buy it.。

After buying, you have to see if it's fun, it's not fun, it's poorly optimized or there are bugs, and you can't raise your head with all kinds of fragrant scolding.

Finally, a refund is initiated, so that the manufacturer can't get a dime.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the phrase "money is hard to earn and is hard to eat" is the supreme truth, Chen Ba, who secretly made a decision, and when he was so poor that he couldn't afford to eat, he would also go to online games.

With his technical strength, coupled with a keen sense of the market, and ...... A system that is not worth mentioning, not to mention making a lot of money, it should not be a problem to eat and drink spicy.

When it came to the system, Chen Ba was immediately angry.

Although he didn't plan to fix the "cattle herding" bug that appeared in the [Cold Window Reading Simulator], he also went to investigate the specific cause of the bug.

As a result, he was speechless.

This bug actually comes from the "core code" provided by the system, and the key is that he can't move this code yet, and if he moves, the entire game framework will collapse, unable to respond to user instructions.

"It's not that I'm lazy and don't want to fix the bug, but if I want to fix it, I can't fix it......" Chen Ba cried and laughed.

To this day, he still doesn't know where the most hardcore game maker system came about, let alone parse the code it provides.

That's a heavenly thing, isn't it?

Chen Ba once suspected that the core code of the game provided by the system should be some kind of extremely special programming language, which human programmers would never understand anyway.

It's strange that he can understand the string of things that are comparable to ghost drawings.

He also checked the information on the Internet, and was sure that this was not a written text that existed in human beings or had appeared in history.

It can't be an alien text, right?

It is normal for Chen Ba to not understand the computer program derived from mysterious words, but what he can't understand is that such a sci-fi thing can actually have bugs?

"I can't read it, but I'm blown away.jpg

Sure enough, even in distant alien worlds, or higher-dimensional worlds, programmers are still producing bugs, writing mountains of code that others can't understand!

After lamenting the waste system, Chen Ba thought of another question.

Since the bug was made by the system, the new game developed this time shouldn't there be any vicious bugs, right?

"No, it's impossible!"

Chen Ba felt that the reason why the bug was not discovered last time was mainly because he believed too much in the plug-in of the system.

As the saying goes, he will conduct multiple rounds of high-intensity testing before the official release of the game, and he doesn't believe that there is such an outrageous bug!

"Actually, it's okay......"

Seeing that the boss was suspicious of the bugs in the game, Xiao Lu said with a smile: "Isn't it common for bugs to appear in the game?" A big factory also buys bugs and gives away games! ”

"It's been on sale for so long, and there are no other bugs except for the conflict bug of the cattle herding event, which is already very good."

"Indeed!"

As a veteran player with a total game duration of more than 50 hours and the first batch of purchases, Yang Dong has a lot to say about it.

"Although the bug is very abstract and outrageous, but in addition to that bug, I haven't encountered a second bug for the time being, and there is no new bug feedback from players on the forum......"

That's amazing already!

You know, in a game of this size, it's impossible to have bugs, the difference is only in the number of bugs and how bad they are.

[Cold Window Reading Simulator] is an independent game, and it was completed by Chen Ba alone, until now, only a bug has been discovered, which is already a very bad performance.

Look at other games, there are more than a dozen or twenty small bugs popping up at every turn, a fix is released in three days, and several big bugs are fixed regularly in a week......

In comparison, the Cold Window Bitter Reading Simulator is simply too perfect to be an indie game.

"If I hadn't eaten and slept with you and lived under the same roof, I would have doubted if you were an alien!"

Yang Dong quipped: "It's so perfect, is it really a game that can be made by one person?" ”

"If you have enough time, you can ......"

Chen Ba didn't tell them how long it took him to develop the [Cold Window Hard Reading Simulator] in the first place, on the one hand, it was unnecessary, and on the other hand, he was worried about scaring them.

Three and a half months, a hundred days!

To make an indie game with a high degree of completion in such a short period of time, I'm afraid no one can believe it.

I just don't talk about it.

When asked, he said that it took him two and a half years, so it didn't sound so incredible.
