Chapter 5 New Game Release

Games that are now popular in the world.

Mainly role-playing and FPS shooting, all new game applications will basically focus on these two.

In Lao Song's opinion, Chen Lin's game called "Slay the Spire" has nothing to do with the mainstream, and he has never seen a similar gameplay before.

Especially with the incomprehensible "tower climbing" setting, I'm afraid players won't buy it.

"Don't worry, you just need to help me. The game is not big anyway, so even if there is a loss, it's mine." Chen Lin smiled calmly with a confident expression.

Old Song looked doubtful, wondering where his confidence came from.

But just as Chen Lin said, this kind of card strategy game is not difficult to make, and even if you really lose money, you can still make a comeback. It can be a good experience for young people after graduation.

Anyway, you will have to experience it in the future.

"Since you know your limits, I won't say anything more."

"We can make this game, but we have other projects on hand right now and can't spare so many people for the time being, which may delay some of the progress."

"If you don't mind, I'd like to contact our upstream company to do it together."

Old Song thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, as long as the finished product can be made according to the above requirements." Chen Lin said without thinking.

He is in urgent need of funds right now.

The faster the game is made, the faster he can get his investment back, and it will also help his next plan.

"Okay, wait a minute."

Old Song didn't waste any time and just picked up the phone and dialed the number above.

After a while, the call was connected.

I could feel his expression became much more serious.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the other party , he explained the situation in detail.

"Card strategy games? Old Song, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should know how bad the market response to this type of game is."

"Although I would like to help you, we still have many projects to complete and cannot spare the time for now. You should ask someone else. I'm hanging up now."

Click——

The person on the other end hung up the phone immediately.

He didn't even give Lao Song a chance to explain himself.

at the same time.

Inside the headquarters office of Star Travel Company, a man in a suit put down the phone, cursing.

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry?" someone nearby asked.

"It's all Dawn Studios. They want to push all these crappy projects to me. Do they really think that we at Star Travel are garbage collectors?" the man said with some dissatisfaction.

Every industry has its own rules.

In the game outsourcing industry, especially for a company of StarGame’s size, they don’t just take on any game.

Because if the games they make fail miserably, it will have some impact on their reputation, lower the impression of them among the manufacturers in the industry, and cause them to have no work to do.

This is definitely not worth the cost in the current situation of fierce competition and serious internal competition, not to mention that it is a private outsourced game.

“…”

"I'm sorry to make you laugh."

At the Dawn Studio, Lao Song raised his head awkwardly.

Having been in this business for so many years, he could naturally understand what the other party meant, but he didn't expect the rejection to be so straightforward.

After a moment's silence, he finally came up with a plan: "How about this, I'll find some friends in the industry to help me, and try to make the game for you within two months. The price will be based on the market price. What do you think?"

"Two months?...Okay, I'll leave it to you guys."

After just a rough estimate, Chen Lin readily agreed and began to discuss the details.

And at this time.

The popularity of "Brave Heart" is still growing.

Thanks to the promotion of major anchors and video websites.

In just one week, the game sold tens of thousands of copies.

Excluding the platform commission and taxes, the net profit was about 220,000.

This is because Chen Lin took his own lack of fame into consideration and marked the price relatively low.

Many players download the game just to join in the fun.

However, they were all deeply immersed in it uncontrollably, unable to extricate themselves, and the number of comments below began to increase.

[This is truly the best game I have ever played. After the gunshot, I don’t know how long I sat in front of the screen in silence.]

[When I couldn't help but press the D key towards my superior, I knew that this game had been a success. ]

【Family, friendship, bravery, justice, rescuing the enemy, repairing trenches, rolling in the mud, letters from home are worth a thousand pieces of gold. This seemingly simple game presents the cruelty of the entire battlefield to the players with just a few strokes.】

[The most valuable thing is that there are a lot of epic and high-definition restored photos interspersed in it, which allows people to feel the urgency, compassion, pain, despair, and...struggle up close. ]

[“Are we wrong?” “No.” “Are they wrong?” “No.” “This is war.”]

[Designer, come out! I promise I won’t beat you to death! ]

Without exception, all the reviews were positive.

Although some players shout loudly, their bodies are very honest.

Not only did he politely ask the designer for his address, he also brought his own gifts. He is truly a role model of a kind citizen.

Coupled with the highlights of anchors’ breakthroughs that were leaked on major video sites, the game became a little more popular and attracted countless players to talk about it.

…

"Chen Lin, the game is ready and I've sent it to you."

Two months later, Lao Song completed the production on time and sent the file to Chen Lin's email.

"Okay, thank you very much. 300,000 has been transferred to your account."

This is the outsourcing price they agreed on.

Because the production cycle is short, it is relatively cheaper, but the main reason is that the technical labor costs are relatively expensive.

After expressing his gratitude, Chen Lin quickly opened his mailbox, took out the game files and checked them carefully.

I have to say.

Lao Song is a very responsible person.

Almost every detail was implemented according to his requirements, and the resulting game was not much different from his impression.

Even the image quality has been slightly improved.

He couldn't help but admire the efficiency of the studio.

[Game Wealth Value: 650,000/1,000,000]

Taking a look at the wealth value, "Brave Heart" has earned 650,000 in two months, and this is the calculated net profit.

Although there is still a big gap compared to the previous life, it is a different world after all, and the sales volume cannot be exactly the same.

He does not have the fame of those big companies in his previous life, which had a large number of players buying their products as soon as they were released.

Fortunately, the 300,000 he spent did not deduct his wealth value.

Otherwise, if you want to reach the one million mission requirement, it would be difficult to do it with just one game, and you have to release new games as soon as possible.

"This much wealth should be enough."

Chen Lin touched his chin, looking thoughtful.

After the wealth is spent, the task progress will also decrease and must be accumulated again.

But considering that the accumulation speed of two games is faster than that of one, it is not unacceptable.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Call up the system interface, create a special promotional CG for "Slay the Spire", and then upload it to the platform and major video sites together with the game.

…

It was April.

As the beginning of the second quarter, it is also a carnival for Bilibili users.

Because this month, the website will upload a large number of new animations.

Passion, romance, criminal investigation, originality, toilet paper from another world...

There are all kinds of anime, there is always one you like.

Although harmony has become a bit serious in recent years, it does not affect netizens from having fun in it and relieving the pressure of life.

And tonight.

It is the day when several ace sequels are updated.

Many people rush to their computers as soon as they get off work or get out of class, opening web pages and refreshing them constantly.

"Strange, why is there an extra new episode?"

Suddenly, someone noticed something wrong on the web page and stared at a strange animation series that appeared in the corner.
