Lying flat is a form of wisdom!

Only those who truly see through the world can fully understand and understand the true meaning of lying flat and laughing.

That's right, Chen Ba opened up.

He really doesn't care about bad reviews from players or threats of refunds right now......

Because compared to this, Tianba Studio has long been "famous" in the game industry.

In the domestic independent game circle, almost everyone has heard that there is a Tianba studio in Jiangning, and this studio is amazing!

What's wrong?

They made a dozen patches for the game...... More than a dozen patches, all of which are "regulating housing prices"!

"In a sense, we're famous!" Yang Dong comforted himself.

"Yes, but this reputation ......"

Xiao Lu covered his forehead, and felt like he wanted to cry without tears: "People say that we are a real estate company disguised as a game studio. ”

"To be reasonable, this is pure embarrassment!"

"Real estate companies aren't so diligent! Which real estate company would change the price of a property 12 times in two months like us? Yang Dong retorted.

Chen Ba glanced at him, and couldn't help complaining: "No, you don't feel proud, do you?" ”

Take a look at other people's update announcements.

Either to fix a certain bug, or to introduce a new way to play, or to optimize the game experience...... Anyway, it's pretty serious.

Take another look at the update announcement for "Simulator Under the Fence".

Good guys, more than a dozen update announcements are even duplicates, and the content is not seen at all except for notifying players that "house prices are rising"!

Don't blame your peers for thinking it's weird.

Chen Ba himself felt outrageous when he saw it, and two months after the official version was released, he witnessed the whole process of turning a simulated RPG plot into a game into a "house speculation simulator".

It can only be said that the game producers will never be able to guess what the players think!

In the early access stage, everyone's gameplay is quite normal, except for a few strange "Internet café nights", most players are seriously pushing the main line to brush the task and turn over the trash can.

But since a certain anchor at the root of all evil said in public, "This is my house, you are the one who should get out", the nature of the game has changed.

Is this good or bad?

If it is purely consequential, it must be a good thing, after all, the most important thing in a single-player game is sales.

With these waves of sudden drop in popularity, the sales of "Simulator Under the Fence" successfully reached 200,000 copies in two months, breaking the previous record.

But from the game itself, this result deviates from the original course.

According to the idea of producer Chen Ba, he wants players to feel the grievances and unwillingness under the fence through this game, which will arouse the emotional resonance of players.

The result......

Emotional resonance is there.

It's just that the emotions that resonate with players are not the grievances and unwillingness under the fence, but the refreshing feeling of turning over the serf and singing the "Dragon King Returning to the Throne".

Scald!

It's a big loss to sell them for 25 yuan in this game!

"I'll just say, after the game freedom is improved, players must not be so honest to follow the main line of the plot."

As the only woman in the team, Zhang Xiaojuan put forward a unique opinion: "As a strong story game, it is a wrong choice to give players a strong degree of freedom. ”

Who are the players?

The Fourth Disaster is not for nothing!

It would be naïve to expect these people to honestly follow the process and push the main line! High degree of freedom and strong plot, this is originally a combination full of contradictions.

If you really pay so much attention to the story, and think that the game can win the love of players with the story alone, then make it an interactive narrative visual novel game like "Invisible Guardian".

If freedom is more important, try to open the world and aim to create a "colorful, vivid and realistic" game world.

I wanted everything, but I didn't do anything!

"There's some truth to what you're saying, but it's not entirely true."

Chen Ba shook his head and said: "High degree of freedom and strong plot, in fact, it is not that they cannot be integrated. It's just that our attempt in "Simulator Under the Fence" is really not successful. ”

It would be nice to learn the lesson.

The first game became a cattle herding simulator, and the second game became a house flipping simulator......

These two changes have made Chen Ba now have a strong sense of awe for the word "simulator".

"I won't strengthen the plot next time."

"That's right, what plot do you want? As long as the gameplay is strong enough, you can play it without a plot! Yang Dong agreed.

Does Snake have a plot?

Even if there is a story, it doesn't matter, few players care about the hidden plot behind the snake, all they think about is how to get thicker and longer......

Everyone is really speechless.

The main thing is that the two games produced by Tianba Studio, they have put a lot of thought into the plot, but they can always be played with new tricks.

In that case, it's still a fart game plot, and you can concentrate on tinkering with the gameplay.

After reviewing the specific reasons why "Simulator Under the Fence" became a "house speculation simulator", Chen Ba announced another piece of good news.

Because of the booming sales of the game, the studio has rice in its pocket, and will move to a larger and more spacious office after Christmas.

This is the suitable place that Chen Ba has been looking for for a long time to find.

The location is closer to the city center, life is more convenient, and the site is hundreds of square meters, although the rent is a little more expensive, but it is acceptable.

What's more, the new office is 200 meters away from the food court, which is not too cool!

"Yay!"

When they heard that the studio was moving to the food court, everyone was excited.

In addition to the news of the move, Chen Ba also announced another thing, that is, after the New Year's Day holiday, the studio may carry out a round of expansion.

Now counting Chen Ba himself, there are only four people in the studio, and it may be expanded to ten people after a while.

The exact number of people is to be determined.

Jiangning is not a first-tier city, nor is it an Internet celebrity city where Internet companies are gathered, so it is difficult to recruit enough game practitioners.

The sales of "Sending People Under the Fence Simulator" are very stable, even if there is no discount promotion, it can still sell 8~100,000 copies every month.

Therefore, Tianba Studio is really not short of money at present, and millions of surplus funds can be credited to the account every month, and it must be no problem to recruit people.

"By the way, I have to recruit a treasurer!"

Chen Ba thought about it, the studio is currently in need of a professional financial accountant, after all, if you file taxes and do accounts, you must have someone in charge of it.

These are secondary, though.

Whether it's moving or expanding enrollment, it won't have any impact on a temporary delay, but there is something that cannot be delayed and must be resolved as soon as possible.

Studio Logo!

Up to now, Tianba Studio still uses Chen Ba's handwritten "Tianba" art word as a Logo.

What kind of work is this?

Anyway, it's a regular army, and if you don't find someone to design a formal trademark logo, you're embarrassed to say hello when you go out to meet your peers.

In addition to the logo, you can actually think of a Slogan, that is, a slogan.

The goose factory is "creating happiness with heart", the pig factory is "game lover", and miHoYo is "technology nerds save the world......

It doesn't matter how big or small the manufacturer is, at least everyone has a slogan that can be shouted out for players to hear and remember.

What should be the slogan of Tianba Studio?

No cavities?!
