Restart the Gaming Era

Biquge www.xbiquge.tw, the fastest update to restart the game era!

June 25th.

"Zodiac Guardian" was officially released for a whole month.

The development time of "Devil in the World" was two weeks and four days.

In the studio, Zhong Ming was still having a meeting with the design team to correct some unreasonable things he thought.

"The struggle of the motion capture actors here is not intense enough, just make up the supplementary recording, and let the motion art make adjustments."

"When opening the door, there was a bit of mold penetration, and the wound left on the protagonist's body was not shown. This shot was extended for three seconds, and then the camera also showed a close-up of the wound on the protagonist's body."

Zhong Ming was talking, while Jia Jia, Fu Xing'an and Wu Mingliang were remembering.

These are not particularly big bugs, so Zhong Ming doesn't plan to catch them himself, and leave it to these three people to push forward.

"The Devil is in the World", because Zhong Ming's requirements are too detailed, compared with the original plan, it has been overdue by four days. With these changes, if we are optimistic, it can be completed a week overdue.

The development plan that was originally scheduled to be completed in two weeks was finally completed in three weeks. It was a bit delayed, but it was okay, in order to ensure the quality of the game.

As for Wei Yong, he still lives with Zhong Ming.

It is very likely that the Public Security Department has identified Wei Yong as a missing person, but Zhong Ming doesn't care about this. He also contacted some media who are interested in this, and will share this news together after the game "Devil in the World" is launched. It exploded and attracted widespread attention in the society.

The point is, a burst point is needed.

Zhong Ming didn't have to make this game at all, but just contacted some media to report this matter. However, he couldn't get in touch with particularly authoritative media, and the reports were nothing more than some online news or online programs that were short-lived and few people paid attention to, and the possible influence would be minimal.

If you can use the game to form a hot topic, and then follow up with the media, the possibility of forming a hot topic will be much greater.

This is already the limit of what Zhong Ming can do.

After talking to the design team about the changes to be made, Zhong Ming returned to his desk, continued to play the finished game, and considered what else could be changed.

Of course, because the development time is too short, you can always find bugs if you want to find them, but the time can't be delayed. As long as it is not a particularly serious bug, Zhong Ming will ignore it for the time being, and then slowly optimize it later.

Suddenly, the bell rings, and Lin Xiaoguang calls.

"Mr. Zhong, I'm here!"

Zhong Ming replied: "Oh, wait a moment, I will find an assistant to pick you up."

Tonight, Lin Xiaoguang made an appointment with Zhong Ming for a dinner, because it happened to be a full month since "Zodiac Guardian" was launched.

The production problem of the MGC2 handheld has basically been solved, and various online shopping platforms are shipping a large number of products. For Lin Xiaoguang, it is the stage of the spring breeze. Naturally, it is inevitable to hold a celebration banquet with Zhong Ming.

Miao Zhu led Lin Xiaoguang up and let him sit in the small reception room for a while.

Lin Xiaoguang didn't go to the small reception room, but took a brief look at the situation in the studio.

This is the first time for Lin Xiaoguang to come to Weiguang Studio, before Zhong Ming brought the game demo to him.

After looking around, Lin Xiaoguang nodded frequently: "Yes, Mr. Zhong, your studio is very impressive. Huh? This is your new game? Is the new game so completed?"

Lin Xiaoguang felt as if he had discovered a baby in an instant, and he was pleasantly surprised.

Of course Zhong Ming knew what he was thinking, he must be thinking about creating an exclusive for his MGC2 handheld.

"Guardian of the Zodiac" made Lin Xiaoguang taste the sweetness. He has been urging Zhong Ming when the next game will be released, and he has been given it. Now, the next game has entered the testing stage. Lin Xiaoguang is not happy ?

Zhong Ming stood up and smiled: "Let's go, Mr. Lin, let's go to dinner. As for the new game, don't think about it, this game is not for you."

"Hey, Mr. Zhong, you are not being kind." Lin Xiaoguang expressed dissatisfaction, "You at least give me a chance to bid fairly. Why don't you think I can't pay?"

Zhong Ming said happily: "Come on, let's go eat first, let's chat while eating."

...

The two left the Weiguang studio and found a nearby high-end restaurant.

Lin Xiaoguang took out a bottle of red wine from his bag: "Come on, Mr. Zhong, I specially prepared it. You have to drink whatever you say today. This wine was saved before the Omnic Crisis, and it has been saved until today. I spent a lot of money to find this bottle of wine, and today we solved it!"

Zhong Ming couldn't help but smile, the world has changed, the times have changed, but people's preferences for wine are still so simple.

In the previous life, one said it was Lafite in 1982, but this world is not the same. One said it was something before the "Omnic Crisis" or "Great Catastrophe". Anything with this concept is precious.

It could be seen that Lin Xiaoguang was really happy.

"Mr. Zhong, you probably don't know the sales of cassette tapes. The sales of "Guardian of the Zodiac" have been released for a whole month, and the combined sales of the digital version and cassettes have reached 270,000! 270,000, Mr. Zhong! At this rate, the exclusive period will be broken." It's not difficult to sell millions of dollars!"

Zhong Ming cheerfully added: "Well, it's still under the condition of insufficient supply of MGC2 handhelds."

Lin Xiaoguang was a little embarrassed: "Ahem, this, the handheld is no longer out of stock, really not out of stock."

This sales volume was ecstatic for Lin Xiaoguang, but not bad for Zhong Ming.

The remake of "Wanda and the Colossus" in the previous life sold 430,000 sets in the first week (note the week), and it was a purely physical version.

Of course, "Guardian of the Zodiac" has two shortcomings. The first is that Shimmer Studios is not well-known, but this is not the most important. The main shortcoming is the MGC2 handheld, and the initial production capacity was indeed a bit behind. Fortunately, Lin Xiaoguang responded in a timely manner, which did not delay too much.

The first-month sales of 270,000, if you look at this figure alone, may not be as good as "Taiwu Painted Scrolls", a game that is directly released on the PC platform, but in the field of consoles, it can already be called a very remarkable one. It was a miracle.

And the most important point is that most of these sales come from Western player groups. This is also a very remarkable breakthrough for Huaxia Games!

It is conceivable that the sales of MGC2 handhelds will no longer be held back next month, and the reputation of "Guardian of the Zodiac" will continue to ferment, and the monthly sales are expected to continue to rise.

After the exclusive ban is lifted in two months, "Guardian of the Zodiac" will be released on the PC platform, and the sales will definitely increase!

Judging from the current performance, "Guardian of the Zodiac" is only one step away from being crowned the "Most Popular Game of Shimmer Studios".

On the other hand, this sales volume means that Lin Xiaoguang's 40 million exclusive fee is basically a certainty, because it is only a matter of time before the sales of "Guardian of the Zodiac" on the MGC2 handheld platform exceed one million.

This also means that the share between Moya Technology and Weiguang Studio may reach a frenzied 20-80, and Weiguang Studio will get 80%, because Moya Technology's profit has to be paid an additional 40 million. Exclusive fees.

But even so, Lin Xiaoguang is happy!

The sales volume of 270,000 means that they have sold at least 270,000 MGC2 handhelds. Although the profit margin of this kind of hardware equipment is not high, it may be between 3 and 7%, but after all, the handhelds cost 2,000 oceans. There is still something to earn. What's more, when the handhelds are sold out, it is equivalent to building a platform. In the future, games will be released on the handhelds, and this platform will be equivalent to a cash cow.

This is an obvious win-win situation. Lin Xiaoguang suffers a little loss here, but Lin Xiaoguang doesn't mind.

"So, Mr. Zhong, look at the exclusive of the next game, can we talk about it..." Lin Xiaoguang said while pouring wine for Zhong Ming.

"Boss Lin, you are here again." Zhong Ming laughed, he knew that if he didn't speak clearly, Lin Xiaoguang would never stop.

"Boss Lin, this game is called "The Devil is in the World"."

Lin Xiaoguang was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his thigh: "Okay! Great name! "The Devil is in the World", a horror game? Horror games are fine, but our platform lacks a good horror game. Let me tell you, Mr. Zhong, Although horror games are niche, our platform will also promote it for you!"

Zhong Mingyile: "It's not a horror game, it's about social issues."

"Social issues? Catering to hot topics? That's even better!" Lin Xiaoguang nodded frequently, "It just so happens that we can use hot topics to promote a wave!"

Zhong Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, tell Mr. Lin directly, I didn't plan to make money from this game, and I probably won't make much money after making it. I plan to sell it for ten yuan a piece."

"It's okay, anyway, small profits but quick turnover." Lin Xiaoguang said.

Zhong Ming was completely speechless: "Boss Lin, can you listen to me first? This game, that's how it is..."

While drinking with Lin Xiaoguang, Zhong Ming briefly explained the origin of the game "Devil in the World".

After listening, Lin Xiaoguang was really stunned.

Zhong Ming self-deprecatingly positioned the type of this game as a "public welfare game". Now it seems that it is really a public welfare game!

As far as this kind of game is concerned, even if it is combined with hot spots, what cost can Zhong Ming recover from the price of 10 yuan?

Moreover, the content of the game itself is not to please the players.

"Actually, I originally planned to give this game away for free, but I think it may not be appropriate to give it away for free. It seems too cheap. I will donate all the profits from this game to some formal orphanages. Schools, and some educational institutions, provide some parents with basic educational knowledge." Zhong Ming said seriously.

Lin Xiaoguang also felt very incredible.

"Mr. Zhong, what you said is true? Is there really such a thing as a 'Science and Technology Defense Academy' in this world???"

Zhong Ming nodded: "It's absolutely true. I have already found several reporters. When the game is launched, this matter will be exposed on a large scale. I will do everything possible to cause topical effects on the Internet and attract as many people as possible. .”

Lin Xiaoguang was silent for a moment: "Mr. Zhong, let's distribute this game on our platform! I don't want to monopolize it. You can just release a version for MGC2 handhelds alone. I don't charge the fee, and the profit is the same as yours. Donate! This piece Things, we, Moya Technology, have to do our part!"
