Netherworld Game Producer

Shenming Games sold 300,000 on the first day.

The game received mixed reviews.

After all, using beautiful girls as a gimmick, when players go in to play, they find that beautiful girls have no role in the scene, the proportion is too low, and there is no sense of existence.

Coupled with the serious lack of intelligence of friendly NPCs, it is still the level of the old platform.

If it weren't for the fact that every game in the gods game is really good, the game content is very rich, and the gameplay is also very novel, otherwise this game is estimated to be unable to surpass the sales of Death Soul Song.

The first-day sales of 300,000, coupled with the behavior of deceiving players to buy, the overall sales of the game are not expected to look good.

Compared with another Zero of the same type from Happy Paradise, which sold over 3 million on the first day, the difference between the cloud and the mud can be said to be a fiasco.

Fang Hong's mood is very complicated. He obviously put a lot of effort into the game, but he didn't expect the sales to even reach the passing line.

As I said before, because there are so many games in this world and players have so many choices, it is unlikely that a game will be a hot seller for a long time.

The sales of a game on the first day can be doomed to make or lose the game.

Few games can rely on the quality of the game to turn the tide and catch up on the first day of sales.

Examples are few.

Most games basically look at first-day sales.

300,000 sales on the first day, according to the normal sales forecast, there is definitely no problem with the final 2 million copies, although it will not make a big profit, but at least it can make money.

But the situation of Shenming's game is different. Players who bought from the beautiful girl on the first day called them fooled.

Even if there is a big anchor like Ye Ye, the live broadcast is warmed up in advance, but the sales volume will definitely not be good, and it is estimated that it can reach the sales volume of 500,000 copies.

Half a million copies.

After removing game production costs, labor costs, company operating costs, and all other costs.

Not only will the cost not be recovered, but it will even lose money.

The net profit calculation of other game companies is not the same as that of Happy Paradise.

Happy Paradise only counts the cost of the game, other staff fees, nerve adjustment equipment and the engine that has been purchased, etc. will not be counted in the cost.

Of course, if the engine is purchased during the game development process, it will only be included in the cost.

For example, the budget of this game is 50 million yuan, and the production cost is also 50 million yuan, so the final calculation cost is also 50 million yuan.

Profits exceeding 50 million are considered pure profits.

Other companies basically count the maintenance costs of nerve adjustment equipment, labor costs, etc. in the game cost.

A game with a budget of 30 million may cost hundreds of millions or more.

Light of Dawn, that's how the cost is calculated.

500,000 copies of the game, after deducting platform fees and taxes, is a huge loss.

The only good thing is that players didn't look forward to this game too much, and there was some pre-heating of the live broadcast in advance, and the game was still a little hot.

Belonging to is the kind of thing that is a little bit, but not much.

As Li Wen said, Shenming Games actually didn't find the right direction from the beginning.

In order to cater to the market, the beautiful girls are forcibly inserted, which makes the game full of fraud.

Most of the players are almost directed at five beautiful girls with different personalities.

However, the roles of the five beautiful girls are pitifully small, and they have no sense of existence at all. How can players buy it if they do this.

Players buy games for fun, not for charity.

"If you have a chance, make another appointment with Fang Hong."

Li Wen now has a lot of staff in the company, but there are very few producers who can carry the banner to make games independently.

Although many manufacturers are now beginning to develop towards a model in which European and American games do not require producers.

However, he feels that the soul of a game is given by the game producer.

Those pipeline games that are not made by producers lack soul.

It seems to be the most notorious potato assembly line factory in the world of Li Wen.

Assassin's Creed, The Division, Far Cry, etc., all games have become pipeline works.

For games with a producer, the style of the game will change with the characteristics of the producer.

The most famous producers, like Miyazaki Thief, Mikami Shinji, Kojima, etc.

The games they make have their own characteristics and are very easy to identify.

As long as it can match the soul of the producer, the game will become more fun than imagined.

A week has passed.

The production of Resident Evil 2 is also in the late stage, and it will be possible to meet players in up to two weeks.

And Escape 3 has also officially confirmed the launch time.

After the Escape production team finished Escape 3, they immediately started preparing for the production of the Resident Evil Battle Royale.

On the other side, the battle royale production team has already started making the battle royale game after the team was established, and half of it has been completed in four days.

Mainly because the battle royale game itself is very simple, and there is no difficulty, it is very easy and efficient to make.

The biggest work is still building the map.

Compared with the original version, this battle royale is richer in the details of the map, has more interactions, and naturally has a higher level of playability.

Give the battle royale a week at most, and the game can be officially completed, and the game currently only uses a budget of 50 million, which is still under the condition of stacking materials.

The 100 million budget simply cannot be spent.

The sales of new games are more dramatic in this regard.

It has exceeded 10 million sales in one week, which is a normal performance, and it is still selling.

The members of the production team of Zero also received very high bonuses, and each one received a bonus of 3 million yuan.

Although the game is only sold for 249 yuan, it is not the big game. The big game is on the clothing DLC, which is really popular.

Seventy percent of players who buy zero will continue to buy clothing DLC, and even 1 percent of players will pack all clothing DLC ​​home with them.

With a bonus of 3 million yuan, Production Zero has become the most high-profile production team in the company.

Although it is listed on the New Moon Company, the Zero Production Group also belongs to Happy Paradise.

In the whole happy paradise, the faces of every member of the zero production team have a smile on their faces, can you be unhappy?

Three million!

This is not the three million that the Bank of Heaven and Earth used to burn.

It is the three million real money that can be consumed all over the world.

Many employees have never seen so much money in their lives, how could it be unhappy.

Happy Paradise also because of this game, the activity funds reached 5.3 billion liquidity.

If Li Wen quits now, he will be able to rely on these more than five billion people to drink spicy food for the rest of his life.

He owns 100% of Happy Paradise and Crescent Games.

Logically speaking, these pure profits, he can take away all the dividends.

But he didn't.

He, like other employees, only gets bonuses.

However, after all, he is the boss, and he participates in every game, so he can get dividends for every game.

The richest person in the company.

And Chen Xin is only from the Happy Paradise head office after all, and she can't participate in Crescent Games.

Therefore, this time, the zero reward missed her.

However, Xiaotian also received enough publicity expenses, and every beneficiary who participated in the game of Zero took off happily.

As for another game, Dead Souls.

It was not what Li Wen expected.

Players in this world can't accept this kind of backward mechanism game, and the sales are extremely bad.

In the end, not even 300,000 copies were sold.

After the platform share and tax are removed, it still loses money.

No way, this is Li Wen's first failed game.

It's not that the game is not fun or scary, it's just that the game mechanics are too backward.

In addition, the game is still very scary, which has caused many players to have no way to enjoy the little details in the game.

Only a small number of players raved about the Death Soul song.

No way, it has completely become a niche game.

Dead Soul Song was born in Li Wen's former world. When it was born, it was very terrifying and terrifying. Coupled with the high difficulty, it persuaded countless players.

The TV commercial for Dead Souls was once ordered off the shelves for being too scary.

And an unknown folklore soundtrack.

It's a hellish game.

Horror games themselves are niche games, and stealth games are also niche games.

Dead Soul Song is more exaggerated, horror games plus stealth games, belong to the niche in the niche.

I originally thought that maybe because of changing the world, maybe players could accept such a game and a miracle would occur.

The bet failed.

The other one is also a niche game, because of the next-generation game, and the focus of the game is on beautiful girls.

Zero is a completely different game from the original.

It can't be regarded as a serious game of the underworld.

But the sales of this game are really good, and it also made a lot of money for Li Wen.

Let him already have enough funds to develop Demon's Souls.

If nothing else, he'll start recruiting people to develop Demon's Souls once he trains a new Resident Evil producer.

As the first release of the old thief, Devil's Soul actually has many unreasonable places.

Li Wen will definitely not bring the original Devil's Soul to the player.

Instead, it will correct the shortcomings and strengthen the advantages, and then bring the game up to the players.

And it will also perfect the giant waste eucalyptus that was cut down, so that the ruined keystone can be seen again.

Because of the second world platform, the game will also be adjusted and changed in play.

This is a big project, and Li Wen estimates that it will take at least a year to make the demon soul in his mind.

The Soul series games are also made into a New Year's game.

At that time, there will be Battle Royale and Resident Evil Battle Royale, the support of two battle royale games.

The company does not have to worry about funding issues at all.

From the perspective of players who buy zero games, the market for paid items is actually not small at all.

Because of the large player base of free games, the number of krypton gold players will also increase a lot, so there is no need to worry about no one charging the game.

...

Escape 3 will officially launch in three days.

As the game warm-up propaganda messenger, Xiao Tian, ​​started the live broadcast today.

She was very excited. In recent days, she had a lot of fun playing Dead Soul, and she had been enjoying it for many weeks, and finally connected the whole story of the Death Soul.

Although the game is very scary and the game decryption is difficult, she likes this kind of game very much.

The audience loves to watch, and she loves to play, win-win.

It's just that the sales of the game "Dead Soul Song" have skyrocketed, and there is a high probability that the second generation will not be released. She is still very regretful.

But she also knows that if a game can't make money, even Li Wen can't continue to make a sequel.

After all, the purpose of making games is to make money, and it is impossible to continue making games at a loss.

The day before yesterday, she received the news that Escape 3 was on the shelves, which made her very happy. Although Death Soul is gone, there are other horror games, such as Escape series.

And the plot of this Escape 3 took place in a barren mountain in China.

When domestic players play, the sense of substitution will be very strong.

She is looking forward to Escape 3 to bring her a different horror experience.

And the audience is also looking forward to the game quality of Escape 3.

'Is Escape 3 taking place in China? I have seen the trailer, there are no foreigners in it, and the architectural style is similar to the rural style of the 1970s and 1980s. ’

‘I’m still looking forward to it, but I don’t know how terrifying Escape 3 is. It is said that it happened in a barren mountain village in China. It’s a little scary to think about. ’

‘Come on, sweetie, what the hell, we’re going to watch the game! We're going to watch Escape 3!

! ’

Most of the audience's barrage was urging Xiaotian to start the game.

But she calmly introduced the game mechanics, "Escape 3 will be completely different from the first two escape series, although under the same world view."

"After all, the first two escapes were made on the old platform. Even if they were remade later, they only changed some game content."

"Escape 3 is a next-generation game developed based on the second world, so in terms of gameplay and plot, it may be very different from the first two games."

"The game is about a small crew shooting a documentary, because I heard that strange things happened repeatedly in a deserted village deep in the mountains."

"Driven by curiosity and interest, the crew embarked on the road to the Barren Mountain Village to shoot a documentary."

"The game is an open world, players can freely explore the entire barren mountain village, and the game clearance condition is to escape the barren mountain village."

"Barren Mountain Village is divided into two worlds, day and night."

"I don't know what is the difference between the two worlds. I can only know after playing."

While explaining the background of Escape 3 she knew, she put on the second world without haste.

If it weren't for the audience urging the barrage too much, or she could continue to introduce for another half an hour...

enter the game.

It is still the familiar Happy Paradise LOGO.

Enter the game interface.

The interface is a concept map of the barren mountain village in the dark night. If you look carefully, you can see that there are many shadows of the lake in the dark night.

After taking a look at the concept map, Xiao Tian chose to enter the game.

The game is divided into simple mode and normal mode.

Although she has already cleared the normal mode of Death Song, but since Escape 3 is a new game, she still chose the simple mode.

She is no longer the idiot who used to have no brains and just normal mode.

If you want to clear the normal mode, at least you need to familiarize yourself with the whole game.

Moreover, Escape 3 is also a next-generation game based on the second world, with a completely different play style. Isn't it unpleasant to choose the normal mode?

Escape 3 has a pinch option.

Xiao Tian didn't think much about it, and directly applied her own data, using her own gender.

After all, this isn't a pretty girl game...

enter the game.

A line of subtitles appears on a black screen.

'You are the cameraman accompanying the documentary filming. After untold hardships, you finally obtained the specific location of the Barren Mountain Village. You don't know that the Barren Mountain Village has become a purgatory on earth...'

'You are not a soldier, if you want to survive, you have to escape...',

After the subtitles disappear, officially enter the game.

"Is this the Barren Mountain Village?"

A familiar male voice sounded, and Xiaotian also regained her vision at this time, and saw the game world clearly.

She was at the entrance of the village, looking in front of the dilapidated but still inhabited barren mountain village.

The one who spoke just now was the director of this documentary, Li Wen.

This is an NPC made entirely according to Li Wen's data. Zhang Chunsheng was originally in charge of it.

But later, after the unanimous decision of the escape team, Li Wen's information was finally used.

Of course, Li Wen also knew it and agreed with them without saying anything.

The crew was very poor and had insufficient funds, so there were only five entourages.

The other three NPCs also used the information of Happy Paradise employees.

To do this, one is fun, and the other is to make it convenient and save money. After all, you have to pay for people.

At first, Escape 3 had only a budget of 50 million.

However, in the production process, Zhang Chunsheng became more and more self-reliant, and the budget was full to 200 million.

Apart from Happy Paradise, which game production team can let themselves go so freely?

Make games with a budget of 50 million to 200 million...

no.

It's a happy paradise.

Although Li Wen was very surprised where the funds were used, he still agreed with Zhang Chunsheng's increased budget.

Xiao Tian looked at Li Wen's face and always felt strange.

The other three NPCs are also her old acquaintances.

Li Xin, although she has not been cured for so long, is a taciturn girl.

But the two communicated through mobile phones and gradually became good friends.

Being an NPC was also requested by Li Xin herself. The reason was very simple. She wanted to see what she was like without social phobia.

It's not strange that Xiao Huang, as a veteran employee of the escape production team, became an NPC.

This is also what he strongly requested to become an NPC, and Zhang Chunsheng did not agree at all at first.

However, Xiao Huang's attack power is too strong. In the end, Zhang Chunsheng was completely defeated and made his NPC.

It's just that the chattering attribute has been cut off, isn't that nonsense?

If this guy keeps babbling and babbling in the game, will the player not collapse?

Zhang Chunsheng, that's right! The last NPC was himself, and it was made at the strong request of all the members of the escape production team.

He was speechless, but he followed the advice of most people.

This is the friendly NPC of Escape 3.

As for the villagers of Barren Mountain Village, yes! All of them were performed by the employees of the escape production team, and even Chen Xin, who played soy sauce, was assigned a role.

Rather than calling this game Escape 3, it's better to call this game a purgatory on earth created by Happy Paradise!
