Chen Ba didn't know that Xiao Zhong, who had not officially joined the company, had already felt the "unique" culture of the studio in advance.

He had just finished re-recording the sound effects of the game with Brother Dong, and he was so tired that he couldn't wait to go back to the house to sleep immediately.

As we all know, the game has various sound effects.

For example, in "Fence Simulator", players can rummage through trash cans, and when they open the lid of the trash can, a crisp "pop" sound will be heard.

Where did this sound come from?

On the one hand, you can look for it online or in professional forums, and most of the sound effects can be used and used.

On the other hand, you can also make an appointment with a professional team, and the other party will provide game dialogue dubbing, background music, percussion sound effects, map music, and so on.

There is also a kind of studio like Tianba, which records and mixes by itself.

Some players complained that the sound effect of the door opening in "Simulator under the Fence" is a bit noisy, and the sound effect of the elevator to the designated floor is missing.

So, in order to solve this problem, Chen Ba and Yang Dong took the equipment to take the elevator for two hours, and opened and closed the security door of the studio hundreds of times.

Running back and forth, it's finally done.

Chen Ba, who had just finished replacing the audio source file and was about to go back to the house to rest, suddenly received a notification email from the Steam platform developer community.

[Dear developers, registration for this Lunar New Year sale will be opened soon, if you are interested, please contact the community administrator......]

"What activity?"

Yang Dong, who had just finished taking a shower, came over and asked, "New Year's sale?" ”

"That's right! The Steam platform has launched a special large-scale promotion for the Lunar New Year, and you can sign up by filling out the form. ”

After answering Yang Dong's question, Chen Ba clicked on the attachment and opened the registration form to view the precautions for the event.

The content is actually quite simple.

Most of the content is not worth paying attention to, mainly the "game does not have to be discounted, but it is recommended to have a discount" is more critical.

During the Spring Festival, Tianba Studio originally planned to sell its two games at a discount, so it was very in line with the registration criteria for this event.

"Then let's participate."

Yang Dong didn't think much about it, he had to get a discount anyway, and he could get a certain amount of exposure by participating in the platform sale event, so why not?

"No hurry! Let's take a look at this ...... first."

Chen Ba didn't rush to fill out the form, but checked the description of the "bundle" in the notes.

To put it simply, this sale event supports the bundle format.

Participating games can be bundled with any DLC, other games of your own, or games across publishers.

He thought it was good.

Although there is no DLC for the two games under Tianba Studio, the correlation between these two games is relatively high, and it can be regarded as a "before and after" relationship.

Most of the players are the same people.

If two games are bundled together, not only can players be given the largest discount, but the game can also get maximum exposure, a proper win-win situation!

"And how do you set the price?"

Although he has never made a bundle, Yang Dong, as an old user of the steam platform, has purchased a lot of bundles.

As far as he knows, most bundles will give a large discount in order to attract players to buy, which is more cost-effective than buying them individually.

Two games priced at 10 pieces, bundled together for only 18 or 17 pieces, this is what attracts players to buy.

Otherwise, the price is the same, why should players buy bundles? What is the point of the existence of bundles?

"The cold window hard reading simulator is 5% off, and the price is 9 yuan! The simulator under the fence is 20% off, and the price is 20 yuan......"

Elementary school students can calculate this question, and it adds up to 29 yuan!

But that's the added up, and if you're going to do a bundle, it's definitely going to be a little cheaper.

Chen Ba took out the calculator and knocked it for a while, and finally decided: "On the basis of the discount price, the bundle will be discounted by eight or five percent, and two games will be purchased for 25 yuan." ”

"Yes! The price is fragrant. ”

When Yang Dong heard this, he couldn't help but nod and said: "It is equivalent to buying the "Simulator under the Fence" at the original price, and then giving a copy of "Cold Window Reading Simulator". ”

Four dollars isn't money?

The reason why the bundles of other games can be cheaper by twenty or thirty yuan at one time is because their prices are already very high.

The original price of the two games under Tianba Studio is already very low, and it can be cheaper by four yuan on the basis of the historical low price, and the price of jumping off the building is appropriate.

In the words of our Mr. Chen, selling to you at this price is purely to make friends with you, and I don't dare to make more money at all!

"That's right, that's right!"

Chen Ba was greatly appreciative, thinking that Yang Dong, an employee, was really right, look at how high this ideological consciousness is?

25 blocks to make a friend!

If you buy it, you are a friend of Chen Ba, it's okay if you don't buy it, I'll give it to you for free next year, and everyone can be friends.

"Send it for free, then it's not a friend, it's a big brother!"

Yang Dong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Learn Ub, right?" When will our studio also introduce the industry-leading potato server? ”

"Ahem! Forget about potatoes. ”

"But there must be a server, and you have to rent one." Chen Ba said very seriously, "Many games now have online mode, so we have to follow up." ”

Online ......

Moved a stool to sit down, Yang Dong's expression was a little curious: "Listen to what you mean, the new game has to be online mode?" ”

"That's what I thought."

The online mode of "Give Him Love V" was a great success, and it still ranks at the top of the sales list, which has made many game manufacturers focusing on stand-alone games move their minds, and Chen Ba is no exception.

It is not difficult to find that the boundary between stand-alone and online games is not so clear now.

Stand-alone machines also need to be connected to the Internet, and they can also play in online mode.

More and more big games have begun to add online modes to the game, hoping to explore a new path and take into account the needs of more players.

Considering this situation, Chen Ba actually wanted to make an online game and give it a try.

However, he doesn't have a particularly good idea yet, but vaguely thinks that it would be cool to make a fighting game.

"How did you become interested in martial arts?"

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I like to read novels, especially those fantasy fairy novels."

Chen Ba explained: "So I was thinking, can I apply the framework of a fighting game and use the physics engine to make a battle scene like a fantasy fairytale?" ”

"Forehead ......"

Yang Dong thought of a sentence.

The two supremes fought to the edge of the universe, you punched me and kicked me, and the avenue was wiped out.

Boy!

The supreme battle is to rub the joystick, and the keyboard is pressed wildly, right? The anger is stacked, and the "fuel guzzling root" has become extremely sublimated?

"What a disobedience!"

Shaking his head, Yang Dong said speechlessly: "The background of the Fantasy Immortal, and the duel between the strong is a fist and kick? ”

"Add some special effects!"

Chen Ba touched his chin and said, "What's wrong with the punches and kicks?" Plus special effects, that is the Heavenly Emperor Fist, Supreme Foot! With one punch, the stars will have to be crushed. ”

Yang Dong: "......"

Sure enough, he was still too unimaginative, and he couldn't even dream of such a scene.
