Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

Even though it is a VR game.

But in fact,"Prototype of Murder" is essentially a small-scale game.

This goes without saying to players who have already experienced it.

For most game designers, this is basically not an open secret.

After all, it’s such a short development time.

Even for Fengyun Games, compared to some major domestic game companies such as Tenghua.

The efficiency of action should be higher.

But game development does not mean that it can be developed immediately after the project is established.

Even in terms of efficiency, Fengyun Games saved a month.

But art materials cannot be conjured out of thin air, right?

In particular, this is Fengyun Games’ first game to enter the VR platform.

There is no way to even use existing art materials.

Everything is made from scratch.

The art resources alone require a lot of development time.

Coupled with the price of the game itself, all aspects have marked"The Prototype of Murder" as a small-scale game.

At the same time,"Prototype of Murder" itself is still an adult-level game.

Fengyun Games didn’t do much promotion for it either.

The communication in this area can only rely on a spontaneous channel of players.

However,"The Originals of Murder" became an inexplicable hit.

But in fact, these game designers don't know.

This was within Chen Xu's expectation.

First of all, although"Prototype of Murder" is not a large-scale game, it is rated as adult.

But that doesn't mean it can't be popular.

Even on the contrary, it also has one of the elements to become a hit

《Why was Dark Souls so widely circulated and so popular?

Wonderful soul world setting and huge background story?

Exquisite combat system and level system?

Of course not, these are the cornerstones of the Souls series' excellence, but they are not the reasons for its phenomenal popularity.

The most critical point is that the games in the Soul series can arouse players' attention, because the game process is constantly suffering.

Players can watch others suffer through live video broadcasts and laugh.

From this, some themes of game culture are extended.

So that the popularity of the game can appear

《Although"The Prototype of Murder" does not have a large number of advertisements.

But it also has its own explosive elements.

The first is pricing.

At present, mainstream games on the VR platform and large AAA games are basically priced in the middle range of 550 to 800 yuan.

As for"The Original Murder", it is priced at 248 yuan.

It can be said that this price is unique on the VR platform.

On the one hand, the cost of"Prototype of Murder" itself is not as high as imagined.

On the other hand, this is also Chen Xu’s initial exploration of VR.

At the same time, it is also a counterattack against Tenghua and other three major companies.

Expand Fengyun Game Platform users on VR as much as possible.

Currently, there are more than 36 million users of the Fengyun gaming platform on PC in China alone.

There are also a considerable number of players who also have VR platforms.

But these player users are actually users of the three major channels such as Tenghua on the VR platform.

As for Fengyun Game Platform, it may not be downloaded on VR.

This is also normal.

After all, there is no point downloading it because there are no games that support VR.

Therefore, the pricing of"Prototype of Murder" is also to promote the start of Fengyun Game Platform.

Secondly, there is the inherent popularity of Chen Xu and Fengyun Games.

Although it is an adult-level game,"Prototype" cannot be commercially promoted.

But the media, a spontaneous behavior of players, is something that no one can get involved in.

As long as the content doesn't involve blood and violence, and there's no Fengyun Games behind it, then there's no problem.

Chen Xu and Fengyun Games’ first VR game.

Coupled with the adult rating itself, it is very controversial.

Therefore,"Prototype of Murder" has always been discussed and paid attention to by the media and players.

In the end, that’s hunger marketing.

Some content screens in the game have been circulated online from the experience store.

There are also some gaming experiences of players in the experience store.

Handsome ALEX, and various cool forms.

At the same time, countless players who have experienced it in the experience store said that this is a very enjoyable game.

It's completely two extremes from"Dark Souls".

Although there is a hard mode in the game, after it is turned on, the soldiers will wipe out ALEX in one shot.

But for players who enjoy it, you can definitely play on easy difficulty.

On the easy difficulty level, you can parkour the building and transform into various forms to kill enemies.

These topics have been flooding the Internet.

But there is no actual gameplay video.

Not even live broadcasts.

These were also what Chen Xu ordered in the experience store.

Sometimes, hunger marketing grasps a more suitable size.

The effect was overwhelming.

Just like"The Original Murder".

On the one hand, some information was revealed, but on the other hand, no more information could be found.

Coupled with the low price itself and the imminent release time.

All of a sudden,"The Prototype of Murder" became extremely popular.

………………

Finally, in the expectant eyes of players,"Prototype of Killing" has also arrived at its own release date. on opening day.

In an instant, the sales of"Prototype of Murder" became the current sales champion on Fengyun Game Platform.

At the same time, it is about major forums and post bars and other game communities.

Players who have successfully experienced it are also frantically discussing all the information about this game.

As a fast food game.

Maybe players will slowly lose their previous enthusiasm and interest after one game.

But at least when it was just released now.

As an incredibly cool game

《"The True Story of Murder" is the most beautiful cub at this moment.
