Chapter 21 Listen to you
The review editorial department of Game Star.
"Wow! This niche game is going to explode! The number of voters is almost over 4,000, and it still remains at 9.1 points."
Looking at the data of "The Binding of Isaac" in the background, someone sighed.
You must know that Game Star accounts are bound to major game platforms. Only when it is detected that the game is in the inventory can the voting for player reviews be carried out. Basically, there are no cloud players who have never played it, and then
A situation where you are bragging or comparing nonsense.
Of course, if you buy it but don't play it, there is nothing you can do if Yun is so confident.
""The Binding of Isaac"! Is this game so amazing? It was reviewed by Lao Wang and Lao Li, right? It actually gave a high score of 9 points? Lin Jiayi's "Chakra of Time" only gave a score of 7.5 points.
."
Among the editorial team, anyone who had played this game asked curiously.
Next to him, Lao Li, who was drinking Fat House Happy Tea and nibbling Fat House Happy Fort, swallowed the food in his mouth: ""Time Wheel" is still Lin Jiayi's old RPG gameplay, which can only be said to be good, but this "After"
"The Binding of Isaac" really gave me a very amazing feeling. In the past, the gameplay was not without random elements, but those games gave me a very chaotic feeling, but this "The Binding of Isaac" is different.
It’s a bit hard to explain, only you can appreciate its charm after playing it.”
"Is it so mysterious? I'm here to do a review. It just so happens that my article hasn't been published yet tomorrow. If it's really as awesome as you say, I'll also write a review."
after an hour……
"Lao Zhang has finished get off work. Let's go to the cafeteria to eat!" Lao Li shouted after putting away his computer.
"Wait a minute, I don't feel right about this one. I've finished reviewing this game and have to work overtime today. Lao Li, please help me order a takeaway."
The editorial department of Game Star is just a small microcosm. With the investment of resources by Galaxy Network, and more and more players who are exposed to "The Binding of Isaac", they have begun to spontaneously promote, a group called 'rougulike'
The whirlwind began to slowly sweep across the entire gaming circle.
…………
On the fourth day of the official game platform, "The Binding of Isaac" successfully entered the top ten sales list on the first day, although it was only in the last place.
"Chrono Wheel", which originally remained in the first place, fell to the second position.
More and more people are paying attention to this little-known independent game.
Especially the gaming industry.
For the game industry, it is not surprising that a niche independent game suddenly appears. For example, Lin Jiayi's famous work "Traveler" relied on a small studio with only 5 people.
.
But the key is that before that, Lin Jiayi had been working hard in the industry for seven or eight years, and the members of his team were all experienced seniors in the industry.
And what about this "The Binding of Isaac"?
After collecting relevant data, everyone knew that this game was definitely going to be successful, but they just didn't know to what extent it would be successful.
But the development team behind such a game is actually a second- or third-rate outsourced game studio, and its main business is still in mobile games?
Is this a joke!?
Obviously the success of the game has nothing to do with the outsourcing studio. Otherwise, if it were so awesome, what kind of outsourcing company would you make?
All industry insiders have focused their attention on game producers.
Game Chief Planner: Yang Chen
Game value: Yang Chen
Game level design: Yang Chen
Game plot designer: Yang Chen
Log on to the official website and check, everything in the game, except for the program, art, music, etc., only has one person's name written on it, and that is Yang Chen.
It looks quite shocking, but for an independent game, it is not that unimaginable.
After all, compared to large game production teams with clear division of labor, small independent game teams only have a few people, and it is normal for one person to hold multiple positions.
What really attracts attention is Yang Chen. After the failure of another game, he was able to launch a new game so quickly to make a comeback, and even hired an outsourcing team, and finally succeeded. This is a bit incredible.
'The Binding of Isaac, an indie game you won't get tired of playing!'
'Sales volume successfully exceeded 100,000 in one week, and "The Binding of Isaac" topped the daily sales list on the official game platform!'
'An independent game that perfectly presents random elements!'
'The name of this magical game is "Isaac"!'
With the promotion of Galaxy Network, "The Binding of Isaac" has become known to more and more players. At the same time, it successfully won the first place in the daily sales list on the seventh day, while NetDragon's "Chrono Wheel" was the first.
It has fallen out of the top ten list.
Game self-media, Game Star, and a series of game media have begun to report on it.
On the live broadcast platform and the video platform, there are more and more videos and live broadcasts about "The Binding of Isaac".
Magic!
This is what all players know about this game after getting started.
Compared with "Chrono Wheel", "The Binding of Isaac" can be said to be crushed in terms of graphics and plot, but all players who have played and played "The Binding of Isaac" in depth will
There is a unified understanding.
This game is so magical!
Every time you open a room and enter the next dungeon, there are different surprises, and the props you obtain every time are also uncontrollable.
…………
"100000*58, and then the official game platform will take a 30% commission, and Galaxy Network will also take a commission, plus taxes..."
After taking a shower in the bathroom, Yang Chen saw Wang Yaliang lying on the bed in pajamas, with a pen and a small notebook beside him, and a calculator in front of him, muttering and pressing.
"what are you doing?"
Yang Chen felt a little strange when he walked over.
"I'm just counting how much money we can make! The game has already sold 100,000 copies!" Wang Yaliang said excitedly.
"This is just the beginning. According to the current trend of "The Binding of Isaac", 100,000 is definitely not the end." Hearing this, Yang Chen couldn't help but laugh, and leaned up and collapsed on the bed.
"If the sales volume is 100,000, we will probably get about 1 million." Yang Chen calculated in his mind and looked at Wang Yaliang who was still playing with the calculator and said.
"so little!?"
Putting down the calculator in his hand, Wang Yaliang threw himself on Yang Chen and said in surprise.
She thought she could have more than two million.
"It's just the first game, and the conditions provided by Galaxy Network are relatively kind. Although they get a lot of game commissions, they have done enough things." Yang Chen shook his head and said.
Galaxy Network is solely responsible for the release and operation of the game, including later publicity, and Galaxy Network is also responsible for the costs in this regard. In addition, Galaxy Network itself is not able to promote the game.
If Galaxy Network had originally intended to take Xiaotou, Yang Chen would have wondered whether the other party's head had been kicked by a donkey.
Isn’t this working for someone else for free?
"What should we do next? Take the money to go back to our hometown and buy a house?" Wang Yaliang said while looking at Yang Chen.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be a house. Instead of buying a small house, we will buy a villa." Yang Chen patted Wang Yaliang's head.
"Next, when the fire of "Isaac" is completely burned and the first batch of money comes in, we will need to recruit some people, set up the studio, and at the same time develop the follow-up content of "The Binding of Isaac"
Updates."
Regarding the follow-up plan, Yang Chen already had an idea in mind.
As for "The Binding of Isaac", due to financial issues, Yang Chen still had a lot of new content and elements that he didn't include.
Once you have money, it will be impossible not to do these things.
Moreover, there are too many things in Yang Chen's head, and he wants to take them out.
"It's up to you." Wang Yaliang put his face against Yang Chen's chest and whispered.
Chapter completed!
