Game Entertainment Empire

An hour later, saving the archive of "Time Wheel", Chang Le sat in front of the computer and frowned.

This "Time Wheel", produced by Chang'an Studio and planned by Lin Jiayi, tells the story of a Western fantasy magic. An ordinary earth person travels to another world and obtains a golden finger. You can go back in time.

After adventures, get to know confidantes, and defeat the big devil to save the world.

And the whole game uniquely combines the game plot with the archives after the players' death. The music is beautiful, and the Changan Studio tried 3D modeling for the first time on the screen. The effect is also very good, and the plot is always smooth.

But when Chang Le was playing, he didn't feel that kind of excitement. Instead, a pixel villain involuntarily appeared in his mind, clearing the dungeon of strange creatures one by one, and then went to the slot machine and went bankrupt. screen.

Obviously playing "Time Wheel", but his mind is full of "The Binding of Isaac".

Is the game bad?

In Changle's opinion, this game is actually okay. Although the game screen is not as good as the 3A-level production, it is not too bad.

Although the plot is still the old one, it just added a new idea that echoes the plot, but it's not bad.

With background music or something, it's actually pretty good.

But he just didn't feel fun, and he couldn't get into it.

Turning on the phone, Chang Le glanced at an UP main discussion group on the website where he posted videos.

"Lin Jiayi's "Time Wheel" doesn't feel as stunning as his previous "Other World Traveler", although it is still at the passing level."

"The only thing that is a bit interesting should be the combination of the storyline and the archiving mechanism, and the storyline is too cliché."

"Actually, if you don't have high expectations, and you rarely play RPGs, "Time Wheel" is quite good, well-made, and the plot is not disgusting, but it's a bit cliché."

"It's 7.5 points, it's not as awesome as it sounds outside."

"There are no fun indie games recently."

"It's not easy to develop an independent game. The game producers who are a little more powerful usually sign contracts to join big factories and engage in 3A game development. Even Lin Jiayi is not a real independent gamer. Their Chang'an work Doesn't the room still have shares in NetDragon?"

Someone said with emotion in the chat group.

In this group, they are basically game makers from the same platform. In the case of this kind of game being released for the first time, everyone can still chat. It is certain that no one is immersed in the game experience of "Time Wheels".

"Don't be biased, and to be honest, there are actually many excellent independent games in China, but you just haven't noticed them. Go and play the game "The Binding of Isaac"." Chang Le said in the chat group .

When Chang Le said this game, several people appeared in an instant, and they all said: "Haha, I knew someone was going to talk about this game, I played it all night last night, and every time I opened the treasure room, I felt like So exciting."

"The gambling room and the gashapon machine are the essence of this game. Last night, I entered the devil room and opened a prop called a brimstone fire, which was ruthlessly crushed."

"Haha, so did I. I played it all night, but I still couldn't get through it. I looked at the achievement list, and there were more than 300 achievements for unlocking items."

A group of video authors who received advertising fees from Galaxy Network started chatting in the group.

The rest of the people were dumbfounded.

What game is The Binding of Isaac?

Didn't everyone just talk about the topic of "Time Wheel"?

curious trend,

Many video authors have opened the web and searched for "The Binding of Isaac", ready to see what the game is all about.

…………

In Galaxy Network's office, Chu Ge, who had finished afternoon tea, looked at the statistics of the major platforms, and his face was full of joyful smiles.

This time, the bet is right, and they have won a lot of money!

The sales volume has not increased much. Although the sales volume of the whole platform has increased, it has only exceeded 3,500 copies.

The most important thing is the online number of this game, as well as the praise.

Almost unanimously praised, and after twelve o'clock, the number of simultaneous online players of the game stabilized at about 1,500.

Chu Ge, who has been in the business for so many years, fully understands what such a data represents.

In the absence of positive reviews, this is completely the evaluation given by players spontaneously, and this performance has definitely proved that this game has the potential to become popular.

The rest is to promote the market, let more people know about this game, and wait for his word of mouth to spread.

There are no big-name game producers, and the production team is not a well-known game team in the industry, but an ordinary second- and third-tier outsourcing production team.

Although the market recommendation in the early stage gave a lot of resources, it was sniped by NetDragon in the middle. In this case, if "The Binding of Isaac" can become a big hit, it can completely lay the foundation for Galaxy Network in the independent game publishing circle in one fell swoop. right to speak.

Although the original Galaxy Network has a certain reputation, it lacks a strong record. This time, under the premise of the star independent game "Time Wheel" released by NetDragon as an opponent, if "The Binding of Isaac" achieves good sales. , it would definitely be regarded as a foundational achievement.

Thinking of this, Chu Ge made a decision to hold an internal company meeting.

Sitting in the main seat, looking at the employees in the conference room, Chu Ge stood up and put his hands on the table, and solemnly announced: "Next, we will focus the company's resources on the game "The Binding of Isaac". , the live broadcast platform and the video platform are the main propaganda boards. In addition, it is best to create a topic that can play some of the content in "The Binding of Isaac" into a stalk. At the same time, the art department will produce "The Binding of Isaac" related content 's emoticons, and publish them in Tieba forums and other places."

"No problem, Mr. Chu, it's ready." A group of people said in agreement, their expressions were also very excited.

Everyone is in the game circle, and naturally knows the potential of "The Binding of Isaac". Since "The Binding of Isaac" has shown the potential to explode, then they have no reason not to invest resources to promote this game. .

Although there is no way to compare the publicity efforts with the three major domestic channels such as NetDragon, the other party did not invest all resources into the game "Time Wheel", and after Chu Ge made a decision, all the channels of the entire Galaxy Network Resources, all make way for The Binding of Isaac.

On the major live broadcast websites that day, some small and medium-sized anchors who originally broadcasted "Time Wheel" in the afternoon suddenly became "The Binding of Isaac" in the evening.

Isaac, a game that Yang Chen was familiar with, but unfamiliar to the whole world, quietly bloomed.
