Chapter 9 Advanced Mode Update
Yang Liang was shocked.
Looking at the information on the list in disbelief.
No matter the game type or the gameplay introduction, it was exactly the same as what Lao Song had told him at the beginning.
He even vaguely remembered the name "Slay the Spire".
That "rubbish game" that he rejected outright was released so quickly and even ranked tenth on the daily sales list?
How is this possible!
Yang Liang raised his head suddenly: "Quick, go check who made this game, I want all its information!"
"Ah? ...Oh, okay, I'll be there right away."
The employee obviously didn't expect Yang Liang's reaction to be so intense. He took a look at the name of the game, then immediately turned around and left the office and returned to his workstation.
Ten minutes later.
A detailed industry document appeared in Yang Liang's hands.
He had a sullen face and his eyes darted back and forth.
When I saw the big words "Dawn Studio" on the outsourcing company list, I felt like my breathing paused.
This is indeed the game he rejected!
In just two months.
The game he made received such a good market response, which made his face look even uglier.
It was a bad idea.
What a missed opportunity for a game with huge potential.
If the board of directors knew about this, they would definitely hold him accountable and think that he was not doing his job well.
But he absolutely could not swallow his pride and go back to Leon Lai Studio, let alone lower his status for a small studio.
After all, he was the one who refused in the first place.
The only way out now is to find a way to make up for the mistake and fill the hole of loss.
"Contact the author of this game right away and talk to him about buying it out. We can offer a high price!"
Although he didn't understand why this game with simple graphics suddenly became popular, it did not hinder his judgment.
If you need money, they have plenty at Star Travel.
I'm not afraid of being rejected by an independent designer.
As long as he gets this game and relies on the company's investment to increase operations, he will definitely achieve results far beyond the current level. By then, even if the board of directors has any opinions, they will not be able to say anything to him.
"By the way, didn't the R&D department have a similar shelved project before ? I think it was called Lost Castle? Ask them to retrieve the filing documents and make another card-themed game based on it."
"Okay, I'll go inform them right away."
After responding, the employee hurried away to the R&D department to find the relevant person in charge.
As a person working in the gaming industry, I have a very keen sense of the player market.
This suddenly popular game "Slay the Spire" has undoubtedly opened up a new way of playing, giving card games a second spring.
Even if they don't take action, other game manufacturers will surely follow suit and squeeze in to share the pie.
So you have to be prepared for both situations.
Even if the acquisition fails, they can quickly launch a card game of their own.
By then, we will rely on Star Travel’s fame and resources.
Are you still worried that you can't beat this personally released game?
…
As expected.
It’s only been a few days.
Many game manufacturers have announced the projects they are currently developing, including several games similar to Slay the Spire.
Several manufacturers specializing in the field of card games worked overtime, slightly modified the original projects, changed them to similar gameplay, and released them urgently, which immediately attracted a large number of players to watch.
"My goodness, did this poke the card nest?"
“Why are all the games released recently of this type?”
"You don't know yet? There was a card game called Slay the Spire that became popular, and these manufacturers are all trying to take advantage of the popularity."
"Haha, I know. It's that weird game that made a CG anime!"
“Isn’t it that you can get free games by watching the anime?” (laughs)
"You know what, that show is pretty good, especially the fighting scenes are really explosive. I've already watched it up to episode 6."
The CG animation released by Chen Lin was produced based on the world view background of Slay the Spire.
The spire was originally named the Tower of Babel, and it is the stairway to heaven.
In order to stop humans from continuing to build the Tower of Babel, the gods came down to earth and changed their language, causing humans to split and fall into chaos. The construction of the Tower of Babel also came to a halt.
On the surface, the gods brought higher technology (cards) to the tower, but in reality they brought a curse.
After gaining powerful strength, the forces in the tower began to compete, suspect and attack each other.
Countless civilizations and adventurers died in the battle.
The curse of the cards and the resentment of the living beings corrupted the tower, devouring all adventurers who attempted to climb the tower and imprisoning their souls.
And the protagonist of the animation .
He is the child in the escape team at the beginning of the first episode.
Because he forced himself to leave the tower, half of his soul was trapped in the tower, and he had to embark on the journey of finding himself.
This is the origin of Slay the Spire.
"Look! Slay the Spire has been updated to episode 7!"
Just as everyone was discussing the changes in the gaming industry, a new update was suddenly posted on Chen Lin’s official account.
[Slay the Spire Episode 7, The Fateful Battle! Updated. ]
Updated!
The CG animation of Slay the Spire has been updated again!
After seeing this news, the players couldn't hold back any longer.
It's only been a few days, and I've never seen any manufacturer updating CG more frequently than updating games.
"Shit! I haven't even finished the game yet!"
“Seeing so many people trying to take advantage of the popularity actually still have the heart to update the animation, how bold of them!”
"Great! Is the protagonist finally going to have a fateful duel with his other half of his soul?"
"Wuhu~The anime fans are taking off, the fateful showdown is about to begin!"
"After defeating the Time Devourer in episode 6, I had a feeling that the protagonist would encounter his own soul sealed in the tower. I didn't expect it to come true!"
"After fusing with the other half of my soul, I should be able to reach the top of the tower, right? I really want to see the finale soon!"
Same as the game itself.
There are quite a few people who are following the anime series Slay the Spire.
As soon as I received the news, I immediately rushed to Bilibili and clicked on the update page to check it out. The popularity was even more exaggerated than the game.
But soon, something even more outrageous happened.
Because Chen Lin’s account updated again and again.
[As the protagonist finds the other half of his soul, the corrosive power of the tower loses its suppression and riots occur. Slay the Spire will update the advanced mode simultaneously, and 20 advanced difficulties will be added. For details, please visit the game homepage to check for yourself...]
???
Even the game has been updated?
The players looked shocked.
Is this designer supernatural? He updated the game right after updating the animation, and it’s such a big update.
"What do you mean? Does that mean I've only cleared the lowest difficulty level?"
"Awesome! I was wondering if it was too easy, but I didn't expect it was just an appetizer."
"There's actually a new way to play. I made a lot of money buying this game for 50 bucks!"
"It's a good opportunity to try out the routine I just developed."
"Go, go, go, I want to be the first man to reach the top of the 20th step tower!"
The dual updates of CG animation and game finally pushed the popularity of "Slay the Spire" to its peak, and sales began to soar.
Those manufacturers who had just released games failed to take advantage of the popularity, but instead had their own players sucked away, and they were all busy and exhausted.
They really couldn't figure out where they lost.
