Game Entertainment Empire

Along with the hot discussions of countless players, all major game forums are full of game discussions on "Octopath Traveler".

Of course, there were also quite a few players who had only watched the live broadcast and had never played the game mixed in, making a fuss about the game.

Compared with the original content, Yang Chen has improved a lot. First of all, he absorbed a TV series "Game of Thrones" and a game "Final Fantasy 6" in the dream memory, so that the group portraits in "Octopath Traveler" The show is better.

For the details of the system, such as some poor hunters catching pets, Yang Chen also referred to a game development system called Pokémon, so that the hunters in "Octopath Traveler" can experience the fun of raising pets, and at the same time It is called Pokémon, although ordinary players don't know what this means.

In addition, the NPCs seduced by the dancing girl, and the NPCs recruited by the priests, some specific NPCs will also trigger side missions when fighting, and Yang Chen has made changes in many places.

The combination of retro and innovation, coupled with the lack of a good enough JRPG for a long time, made "Octopath Traveler" instantly popular among JRPG players and enthusiasts, and the sales of the game rose rapidly like a rocket. It quickly exceeded 700,000.

However, the increase in sales and popularity has also brought a lot of negative comments, mainly from players who heard about the popularity of "Octopath Traveler" and followed suit to buy.

These players actually don't like the JRPG and pixel style with a long rhythm. They just bought it because they felt that "Octopath Traveler" is so popular now and it should be a very fun game.

After buying it, I tried some of it and thought it was okay, but many people felt that they were disappointed. The game was not as fun as it was advertised, so they gave bad reviews.

As for the reasons, most of them are limited to what era still has people making pixel style, or the game plot is too old-fashioned, the game rhythm is too slow and boring.

For these players' comments, Yang Chen didn't have much to do.

Because this is a game with limitations, players who don't like JRPG can't accept the pixel style, and can't bear the long plot are destined not to like this type of game.

If there is something to brag about, there is always something to deride. "Octopath Traveler" is not gold, so how could it be liked by everyone?

Holding the computer at home, with his little feet dangling, Wang Yaliang smirked while eating the sundae and looked at the online reviews of "October Traveler".

The long-haired steel egg next to it was foolishly circling in circles trying to bite its own tail.

"What's the fun?" After pouring some dog food into the box, Yang Chen put the small bowl in front of Gang Dan, then took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed to look at the computer screen in front of Wang Yaliang.

"Look at our game, many people gave it good reviews!" Wang Yaliang leaned against Yang Chen, and then stuffed the unfinished sundae into Yang Chen's hand.

With the launch of "Octopath Traveler" and the promotion of Galaxy Network, it can be said that the popularity of the game has skyrocketed.

The combination of modern and retro, JRPG classics, are all crowned on the head of "Octopath Traveler".

Especially in the JRPG circle, almost nine out of ten players know the game "Octopath Traveler".

In just three days, the sales volume of "Octopath Traveler" has reached 750,000 copies. Although it has not yet broken the sales record of 800,000 copies in the first three days of "Time and Space", it is completely predictable according to this trend and the popularity. The total sales volume of "Octopath Traveler" will definitely not be worse than that of "Time and Space".

Ordinary gamers are at most surprised that the sales volume of "Octopath Traveler" is so high, but those in the industry in the game circle were shocked.

This is going to explode!

When "The Binding of Isaac" sold over one million copies,

While shocking, it's actually not too shocking.

One is the unique creativity of the game itself, and the other is the price of the game. The price of 58 yuan is similar to that of ordinary independent games.

But "Octopath Traveler" is different. The price of the first regular edition of 116 yuan is double that of "The Binding of Isaac", which has exceeded the pricing range of independent games. To put it simply and straightforwardly, that is to sell two copies of "The Binding of Isaac The Binding of Isaac is equivalent to selling a copy of Octopath Traveler.

"This is just the beginning, but our studio is expected to undergo a major expansion this time." Yang Chen smiled, looked at Wang Yaliang and rubbed her head and said.

"In addition, when the first batch of platform shares arrive, we might as well buy this house instead of renting it." Yang Chen thought for a while and said to Wang Yaliang.

I haven't mentioned this matter before, mainly because the money invested in "The Binding of Isaac" needs to be invested in the game more, and the houses in Jiang City are not cheap. It's about one or two million.

Considering the cost of "Octopath Traveler" and the turnover of Nebula Studio, Yang Chen kept this idea in his heart.

But with the popularity of "October Traveler", Yang Chen felt that there was no problem at all.

"You just decide." Wang Yaliang didn't say anything, just leaned on Yang Chen's body and nodded slightly.

"By the way, didn't you say you want to learn how to make games? I'll teach you now!" Yang Chen suddenly thought of something, and said to Wang Yaliang excitedly.

half an hour later...

Looking at a pile of electronic TXT teaching materials downloaded from the computer, and a pile of video and graphic teaching materials, the smile on Wang Yaliang's face gradually disappeared.

Hey, hey... I really want to regret it, what should I do?

…………

"Octopath Traveler, don't think about classic JRPGs that please everyone"

"Octopath Traveler", a nostalgic paean to JRPG! '

‘The dark horse in the independent game circle! Nebula Studio reveals its secrets! '

'Shock! The producer who made such a game once even made this kind of game! ? '

Along with the hot sale of "Octopath Traveler", Galaxy Network also spent a lot of money on marketing. In the entire August when there were no strong opponents, "Octopath Traveler" successfully completed a small version of the game industry.

Media of all sizes praised "Octopath Traveler" one after another, making it sound like a masterpiece. In just a few days, almost all game media turned into Yang Chen's licking dog, and praised "Octopath Traveler" "Crazy licking.

Under this kind of marketing, "Octopath Traveler" released the latest sales announcement on the eleventh day and successfully reached 1.5 million copies.

……………

After the news came out, all the people who had badly watched "Octopath Traveler" felt incredible for a while.

In the Chang'an studio, Lin Jiayi looked helplessly at the final clearance record on the computer screen.

lost? Lost again?

In fact, he can find a lot of excuses. For example, the game of "Octopath Traveler" is actually not that magical.

The reason why it is popular is purely to take advantage of the market. There are no games of the same type, which take advantage of the feelings of youthful memories.

But these are just excuses.

But what makes him most uncomfortable is that he said before that JRPG is a product left over from the times, but now that "Octopath Traveler" has sold more than 2 million copies, isn't this another slap in the face?

Although the current sales volume of "Time and Space" has also exceeded 2 million in the near future, the starting points of the two parties are completely different.

Is this person so wicked?

Lin Jiayi looked helpless.
