Almighty Game Designer

In the studio, a lot of employees also play Dark Destroyer.

Several design assistants play and discuss.

“Strange, when I looked at the concept draft before, I really didn't think how fun this game was, how come it became more addictive after making it? I don't brush all day, I don't feel well all day! ”

“Don't say that this evil style of painting didn't discourage me, but it made me feel like I was enjoying it. ”

“Yes, and there are not so many rich ways to play this game, and there are no festivals. To go online every day is to change the way you brush. After brushing this off, you brush the next level, and after brushing the team brush, you just don't think you can stop! ”

Zhou Hanyu was also surprised.

After the game was made, he also experienced a bit of repression at first, but when he really played the whole drama process, the feeling of repression strangely disappeared.

Zhou Hanyu analyzed it himself. It is the color scheme, field of view, music and other factors constantly switching between different scenes. It constantly regulates the player's emotions, so the imaginary feeling of repression did not appear.

Moreover, this artistic style greatly enhances the players' pleasure in fighting the monsters, especially when beating BOSS in extremely horrific scenarios, accompanied by massive equipment drops and instant release of players' emotions for unparalleled pleasure.

The more he studied it in depth, the more amazing Zhou Hanyu felt. He really didn't expect that this extraordinarily small art style was perfectly mastered and almost perfectly adapted to the player's emotions.

This also makes Zhou Hanyu feel emotional. Chen Jiao can develop so many boutique games not by taking a chance, but by really having this power!

Fu Guangnan said to Zhou Hanyu: “It's time to go live today. If it works, let the players take it or not. ”

Zhou Hanyu nodded: “Well, I have confidence in this work. ”

Fu Guangnan asked: "Guess what the first month sales will be? ”

Zhou Hanyu shook his head: “I don't know. But according to the input, the CG and the game itself cost at least 140 million, according to the store manager's pricing, play version 128, and sell at least nearly 1.8 million copies to get it back. ”

Fu Guangnan has some concerns: “Pricing is a bit expensive, and this sales target is too high! ”

Zhou Hanyu nodded: “Yes, but the cost is here, it can only be said that the cost is really too high, the store manager is too willing to burn money. What other game dealer in the country needs to spend more than a billion dollars on a single-machine game called 3rd person? Even if I had money, I wouldn't dare spend it like this! ”

Fu Guangnan said: "It can only be said that the manager does have the courage, I hope this game sells big. Otherwise, just expanding the team, the first game will be cold, which will affect morale. ”

Zhou Hanyu nodded: “Well, I hope so. ”

……

On July 3rd, Dark God of Destruction is officially live!

This game has been continuously flowing from year to year, starting with some original drawings, settings, then CG snippets, then game trial video...

There are still a lot of people watching this game, especially Warcraft Games players and fans of Chen. No matter how bad the outside world looks at Dark Destroyer, they always believe that Chen Jiao will surprise everyone.

On the day Dark Destroyer went live, these players basically didn't think too much about it and paid for it.

Dark Destroyer took the buyout mode and played for 128 yuan. This price is already overpriced in single-machine games, you should know that Chen Yu R&D's Warcraft Competition sells for 88 yuan, while the Wulin Herald sells for only 50 yuan.

Of course, players also know that Dark Destroyer is very well made, especially since CG burns money, so there's not much to dispute about this price.

Except for the dead and loyal fans, most of the players are watching, and some are cynical, waiting for the Dark God of Destruction to sell so badly that they can't recover their costs.

Soon, the first players who bought the gaming experience started posting feedback on the forum.

“Try poisoning the Dark God of Destruction, boys. How's the game? ”

“Just came to send a poster after a good game. The more Thunder Film Studio movies, the better...”

“... what about the rest? ”

“The quality of the game is unexpectedly good and completely different from what those antique third parties call RPGs. It's hard to say how the details are different, it just feels like the details are a lot worse. ”

“It's strange, although this art style, I thought it would definitely discourage me before, but after entering the game, I didn't feel particularly excluded, but I felt that the atmosphere was very... well, I don't really explain this feeling. ”

“Very well. It's the art style that fits perfectly with the story context and the way the game plays. ”

“How is that legal? ”

“This can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences, play your next game... To be honest, just make it big, 128 buy it for real. ”

“How does it compare to Warcraft? ”

“It's hard to compare, after all, the game type is different. If you have to compare, it feels similar to that RPG map," Holy Land, "except, of course, for a lot of heavy mouths. ”

“That picture is okay, I've played it, and if Dark Destroyer really feels that way, I'll definitely buy it. ”

“Don't you despise Chen too much? Let's just say, there's no comparison at all. You compare" Holy Land "to" Dark God of Destruction ", which is like playing basketball with a kindergarten friend and the NBA. ”

“Damn, so exaggerated? All right, I'll play too! ”

“Come on, come on. They say there's a team here. I'll take you flying! ”

……

The sales section rose and the players' ratings remained high, basically never dropping 9 points.

Game media are also publishing.

Third Person Says RPG Performs Better Than Industry Expectations

"Chen Jiao burned money to become a CG again! Thunder Film Studio is full of sincerity!

Expert Analysis: Subtle Subject Matter, Probably Not to Call a Seat

"Industry people think the first month sales are hard to break half a million, Chen Jiao is going to lose money?

Praised, questioned, all are concerned about the sales of Dark Destroyer. After all, this is a stand-alone game, and only sales can explain the problem.

Soon after, Dark Destroyer's first week of sales came out.

280,000 sets!

This volume has dropped glasses dramatically for all the industry people and players who didn't like Dark Destroyer before, as this volume is about the same as they expected for the first month!

But the bigger ones still fall behind.

Not only has Dark Destruction not fallen since its first week of sales, but it is still growing strongly, reaching 430,000 units in the second week!

Obviously, in the second week, more players who were already watching were determined to buy, and the player's reputation further boosted the sales of Dark Destroyer.

Ultimately, Dark Destroyer's first month sales are rated at 1.87 million sets!

This means that Dark Destroyer's first month of running water reaches 240 million, while Chen's net income reaches 167 million!

The huge R&D funds invested were fully earned back in the first month.

Once again, this number has left people in the industry stuck, they can't imagine, in any case, that the previously despised third-party perspective RPG, the type of game they call “antique," can explode such horrible power?
