Chapter 297: Give Doomsday by Hand
In Cangtian Game Studio, a group of young people sat together with a relaxed expression, and a faint feeling of joy appeared on their faces.
This is not the kind of studio that can be used as a game training, but a small but well-organized game production team.
"I have to admire Tianman porter's imagination for being able to create games like galgame."
"I just use the plot and cg as the selling point. Before I put it, I didn't believe that people like to play this kind of thing!"
"Indeed, the production is extremely simple. Just like us, after finishing the script, we basically completed it in one month - although there is no dubbing, BGM also directly purchased some ready-made music from others. But the cost is terrible!"
"After all, we can't compare with a giant like Tianman."
"We are just a simple studio, and we can only make some low-cost games like this, and the game's reward is very high! As long as we sell 1,000 copies, we can recover the cost. For every copy left, it will be a pure profit!"
"Xiaohong, let's talk about how much of our game sales last month!"
Several people set their eyes on a woman next to her. The woman's face was filled with excitement, and she stretched out her five fingers and said, "Five thousand copies!"
A burst of cheers suddenly broke out in the crowded room.
"Five thousand copies! You're rich!"
"Boss, this time I have to give you bonuses!"
A man said first: "The credit for this type of game must be on the drama itself! This script is what I thought of, my bonus..."
The person next to him sneered. He patted his shoulder hard and beat him up: "Stop talking about the script... This is not what you think of in the Chinese female novel. You read some casually and then patted your head. This script is full of loopholes and bloody. You can't even play it yourself, and you still want to take credit? I think it must be my CG. These CGs are my masterpieces! If it weren't for the exquisite enough CG that attracted players, who would play stories written by people who had never even heard of them?"
"You go too!" A girl with long-haired glasses sitting opposite him gave him a blank look. "Although cg is exquisite, it is too small. The whole plot dialogue uses the same background..."
The painter said aggrievedly: "Damn, do you think I am willing. Didn't I apply for an assistant? I don't want to be an assistant for me, and I think I'm a porter."
"Hmph! We only invested so much money in the game area, and we still want to be an assistant? You are so beautiful!"
"If we talk about the biggest credit, we are afraid that it is the porter. If he hadn't made this game, we wouldn't have had the chance to do it! He made galgame popular. It just so happens that there are few such games on the market. We just happened to be the right time and just held the golden thigh." A man who was quite **** and seemed to be the boss of the studio said with a smile.
The others laughed, they were just joking, and they all knew the results of the present.
A small studio with little unknown, no well-known painters, no well-known scripts, and no advertising promotion. It can be sold in this sales volume, which is the great success of Tianman's promotion of galgame during "Kanon".
Players have just felt the charm of this new game, but Tianman only has one "Kanon", and no matter how good it is, it is impossible to play it every day. So they seized the opportunity and made a galgame.
As for games, their games are shoddy, but when there are almost no such game on the market, players who are hungry have no choice but to sell such "high" sales.
Although there are only 5,000 copies, for them, the sales volume is already very high... After all, a game that can guarantee a capital of 1,000 copies is already sold 5 times!
More than a month of hard work, 500% reward!
What else is not satisfied with?
"But Brother Yao, the porter doesn't like your bonus, so I'd better send it to us!"
"Haha, of course, everyone's bonus is indispensable! This time, a big profit was obtained by everyone's efforts. I decided to give each person a bonus of 10,000 yuan!"
"Oh! Yeah! Boss, I love you!"
"Stay away from me, I won't be a staple... The simple game of galgame allows small studios like us to stand on an equal footing with those big game companies, and galgame is a market that has just been developed and has huge potential! This is just our first step, and we have to make more games. As long as everyone works hard, the bonus will only be more in the future!"
"Hehe, this is simple, just change the character, and this will be another 'brilliant' game!"
"When you can't drink alcohol during working hours, then we will use boiled water instead of wine, and we'll cheer together!"
"cheers!"
A group of young people with high morale raised their glasses to celebrate, but before their happiness lasted for a few days, they were poured with a basin of cold water on their heads.
Their game suddenly went on for several days and couldn't buy a single one!
This is so abnormal!
Even if their games are shoddy, there are not many galgames on the market now, and when no one knows them, their "notoriousness" should not be able to spread so quickly?
They searched for the reason and suddenly found that not only their games, but also the entire galgame industry was in a downturn.
Even the sales of galgames produced by several powerful companies are sluggish.
A game that has just risen but has not yet shined with glory has disappeared.
Could it be that galgame cannot withstand the test of time and has declined?
But this is too fast. How could the game type that was popular last month fall down in an instant?
They were puzzled and followed the root cause of all this, and then they discovered that it turned out that it was because of the newly released galgame of Tianman - "white-album".
Using "Kanon" to create a brand new game type, then using the very heart-wrenching plot of "White-album" to give a devastating blow to galgame's new theme.
Countless employees of the small game company who wanted to take a sip of soup like Cangtian Game Studio, who wanted to take a sip of soup, were crying.
Tianman is too cruel...
They just want to follow the trend and cheat... just make some money, but Tianman doesn't even give them such an opportunity!
What kind of mentality does the porter have to create a tangled story like "white-album"?
Let’s not talk about them, Qianman’s Ye Chen also wants to know this question!
Qianman also made a galgame, but this time he no longer had the intention of challenging Tianman He Chen.
After all, the last time he lost so thoroughly made him a little more awake: He Chen used his strength to prove to people that he was proficient in all subjects. It was simply a desperate attempt to win by surprise.
If you want to challenge Tianman, you have to make steady progress and use excellent stories that truly surpass He Chen to be qualified to challenge him.
At present, Ye Chen has not discovered that among his authors, anyone has created works that are enough to challenge He Chen.
Before being a competitor, Qianman was also a commercial company. That time he lost to "Kanon" and to galgame, so he naturally became interested in this brand new game type.
Among his authors, there are many romance subjects, and galgame is the type of game adaptation for this subject.
He has unique conditions. If this market is big enough, it will not only bring generous income to its authors, but Qianman can also gain huge benefits from it.
He may have to thank the porters for creating this subject.
This time, galgame was a comic that he chose that plot is more suitable for adapting galgame, and it was an attempt to use this subject.
Although in his eyes, the plot is far from comparable to "kanon", it is more than enough as a test work.
He staggered the game's release time and released the game in advance before the release of "White-album" announced by Tianman.
This is also a statement: there will be no competition this time.
It can not only objectively see the sales of their galgame without the impression of other external elements; it also sells Tianman for face, but also avoids the gap between sales and Tianman if it is released on the same day, which will lead to them losing face again.
The sales volume in the first week was 110,000. Although "Kanon" was dismal on the first day, the sales volume in just one day of the second day reached 140,000.
Compared to "kanon", Qianman's work this time is still far behind.
However, such sales have exceeded Ye Chen's psychological expectations.
This author is an unknown author. This time, Qianman just made a very ordinary advertisement for him, and did not tilt all Chihiro's resources like he did when he treated "lethe".
Ye Chen believes that as long as the sales volume reaches 50,000 in the first week, galgame will have development potential. The current sales volume of 110,000 has made him overjoyed.
This shows that the popularity of "Kanon" was not only because of He Chen's fame and the charm of the story of "Kanon", but also because everyone really likes this type of game.
However, not long after, he received bad news - he could still sell more than 90,000 copies in the second week, but in the third week, he only sold less than 1,000 copies.
"It can't be something wrong with our game, right?" Such a strange cover forced Ye Chen to doubt his game... After all, unless there was a huge bug that players could not accept, such a drastic sales decline would never have been possible.
"No, I think it should be the game released by Tianman."
“White-album?”
Tianman released two games that day, "Oriental Red Devils" and "white-album".
The only thing that can affect their galgame is the same type of "white-album".
"White-album isn't that cruel? Even if players like "White-album", it's impossible for them to not buy any of our games? After all, this is not a choice of two, they can play both games." Ye Chenxin was puzzled.
"It's another reason..." (To be continued...)
