Chapter 50： Why can you sell so much?

the next day

Dragon Game

As the domestic RPG release department of Tenghua and Phoenix, the three major NetDragon games, Li Qing's mood is not very good.

"There is no good game."

The market for RPG games is shrinking. Even ARPG is one of the categories, but compared with traditional FPS games, the gap is still quite obvious.

Especially they are the RPG distribution department. If they are in the R&D department, several masterpieces of ARPG produced by their own NetDragon are definitely not a problem to meet the KPI.

But the point is, they are the publishing department!

Except for Lin Jiayi's two RPG games recently, there are not many other games that are worth watching.

"The RPG market is already shrinking, and there are fewer and fewer studios and manufacturers willing to make this type of game. Where can I find so many good games to tap? And the concession index given to me every year is so big, good game looks Not good, bad games are not used, who can stand it?" Li Qing's heart is full of grievances.

Thinking of this, Li Qing remembered a game project that he talked about not long ago.

"Eight Travelers"? It seems to be this game. The original "The Combination of Isaac" became the independent horse of the year. It won millions of sales in one fell swoop. I heard that his new work is RPG. At first, he was quite optimistic, but then the other party turned out What pixel to do is still JRPG, which makes Li Qing speechless.

This is an expansion of achievements!

pixels, JRPG, it feels like two themes abandoned by the market.

After hearing the news, Li Qing was completely optimistic about the other party, especially after playing the finished game, Li Qing was even more speechless.

is not a pixel style in the traditional sense, but a very elaborate kind, but no matter how elaborate you are still pixels.

And the production cost can make more refined 3D, is this not off pants to fart?

can do 3D pixels, if this kind of person is in NetDragon, his legs will have to be interrupted!

At the same time, the other party's asking price is quite high, the game cost is right here, and some good results have been achieved in the front, but if you are doing a game like "Isaac's Combination", then Li Qing can make a decision without saying anything. The decision to make interest concessions is also within his authority.

But you are a pixel-style JRPG, isn’t it troublesome?

Shaking his head, Li Qing turned on the computer and entered the industry group to see if something big happened.

‘+999’

As soon as the group's interface was opened, Li Qing saw the number of messages in the back.

? ? ? ? ?

Do you have Gatling in your mouth?

It seemed that I slept more than a bit last night. From 1 o'clock to 8 o'clock in the morning, did you talk about +999?

Li Qing, who had a facial expression on Nick Yang's question mark, opened a chat group.

‘The game of “Eight Travelers” sold so many copies? ’

‘It’s actually not unpredictable. Although it is a pixel JRPG game, it is completely different from the ordinary pixel style, and the most critical market has never had this type of game. ’

‘Yeah, the elements of the combat system are also more inclined to strategy, such as the application of BP points, a round of killing BOSS in a round is very fulfilling. ’

‘But it’s not like this kind of explosion. If it’s not the game star binding account and the review mechanism for answering questions, I doubt that Nebula Studio and Galaxy Network have bought a naval force. ’

'Actually, I really have to play this game to know that this game sells well for no reason. The dubbing and CV are all luxurious lineups. Lihui has done a good job in these aspects. Although the plot is a bit old-fashioned, it can even be said to be cliché. But it coincides with the pure kingly plot, but it is not the kind that saves the world when it comes up, but it is connected from the goal of eight people. ’

"Yeah, this is also a coincidence. The current mainstream game is basically what the plot is to save the world and save humans. The players are really a little bit tired."

"Eight Travelers" has become an explosion?

Is the sales volume on the first day only 150,000? ?

Li Qing froze for a while, and did not look at what the people in the group continued to talk about, but directly closed the chat group and opened a dedicated sales statistics website.

Sales of "Eight Travelers": 550,000.

Two-day sales of 550,000 copies! ?

Is my eyes spent?

Looking at the sales data of the first game on the sales statistics website, Li Qing was stunned.

550,000 copies sold, the first day sold 150,000, that means 400,000 copies were sold directly the next day?

Is this a word of mouth explosion?

Li Qing's brain was a little ignorant.

Isn't this a JRPG game? Isn’t this a pixel style game?

Shouldn’t this be a rave for niche players? Why can this game sell so much?

Countless thoughts suddenly rushed into Li Qing's head. Li Qing, sitting in front of his seat, felt like he couldn't figure it out.

…………

As the online time of "Eight Travelers" becomes longer, the game slowly unfolds in front of the players.

Eight travellers did not have the mission of saving the world from the beginning. Just like ordinary people, everyone has their own small goals.

In order to find the hunter of the missing master, the dancer of revenge, and the swordsman of the deceased country to trace the truth of the past, I want to see the merchants of the outside world.

Everyone has an independent story. This story is not about saving people's lives, but about their own affairs.

With the development of the plot of each character, and the theme song specially tailored by Miracle Entertainment and Chen Gang, players can be invested in the stories of these characters.

Especially compared with the original "Fangfang Traveler" in the dream memory, Yang Chen has increased the connection between the eight people in the game content. It is no longer a story that one person is the protagonist, and the other few are all thugs.

In this journey of life, they joined a team because of some small things, helping each other or temporarily leaving midway.

In this regard, Yang Chen referred to many games and things in the dream memory, such as in the arrangement of group portraits, Yang Chen largely referred to a game of "Final Fantasy 6" and a game called "The Right "Game" TV series, which makes the plot of the whole game more closely connected.

Regardless of JRPG or ARPG, if it’s not selling sheep meat with a sheep’s head in mind, it’s actually to tell a story, and “Bafang Traveler” is such a game, even if it seems that the plot of the kingly way is somewhat cliché, in the end The story still revolves around the kingly plot of revenge, redemption, and salvation But cut from the personal experience of the eight characters, this gives players some different experiences.

"This thief game is fun! I rejected the pixel screen at first, but I found it beautiful after getting started. The snow scene and the quite real sand in the desert and the reflected amount of light and shadow are really beautiful."

"The plot also feels great! Although I chose the brother of the thief as the protagonist, everyone feels that I am the protagonist, and I am attracted by their stories while playing."

"When I think of the theme song of Miss Maiden, I have goose bumps!"

"I just played with Miss Sister Dancer and killed the dominator. I decided that I would put all the best equipment on my body for Sister Miss. I vowed that she would not be hurt a little more."

"Is the brother upstairs serious? Tell me in advance, you will be angry and want to smash the computer."

"Armor breaks! → Maha Miracle Dance (4 types of effects) → JP 2 times! → EXP 100 times! → All members are dying! → Everyone on the ground is injured! → The game is over!"

"2333, upstairs has a good visual sense."

"Dancing for a while is always cool, dancing all the time is always cool, but remember to archive!"

"However, the music and CV in the game are simply great! Every song feels as good as the scene and the plot and characters!"

"I like Miss Sister Girl, Sister Sister Girl is the best in the world!"

"Nonsense businessmen and girls are king!"

"No, the most interesting part of this game, isn't it a thief who steals NPC's big baby?"

"Sorry Pokémon and mercenary summoning are the most interesting places!"
