Netherworld Game Producer

The awards ceremony for the best game of the year ended relatively satisfactorily, and Happy Paradise Escape won the best horror game of the year.

Although it is said that Escape has become the companion of the best game of the year, it is also a worthwhile trip to accompany 13 other masterpieces.

Before Li Wen and Li Xin went back to the hotel to sleep, there was an episode at the entrance of the party.

A representative of Penguin Games who came to the annual game party expressed his desire to acquire Happy Paradise.

However, Li Wen was practicing Tai Chi with the other party, and did not express his intention in time.

Unless Happy Paradise really can't continue, there is a high probability that he will not sell it.

According to the current situation, Happy Paradise may go bankrupt unless every game loses money in the future and can no longer make a penny.

The chances of this are very small.

Facts have proved that the games that Li Wen could sell well in his previous life can also sell well in this world.

Even if he just copied the game in the future, it is impossible for him to go bankrupt.

Although Demon's Soul and Fengshen, these two games have a high probability of losing money.

He is also very clear, but he will still do it, the purpose is to cultivate fans of soul games.

In his former world, the old thief's soul game has collapsed in both sales and word of mouth from the very beginning.

After the players adapted to the soul game, a small circle of soul games began to appear.

This small circle has also expanded because of a soul game work of the old thief.

By the time of Dark Souls 3, sales on all platforms had exceeded tens of millions.

In Li Wen's previous world, there are very few games that have sold more than 10 million.

At that time, the soul game circle was no longer niche.

In the end, Elden's Circle of Law sold tens of millions of sales on the entire platform in a week, becoming a game that broke the circle.

The tastes of players in the two worlds are actually similar.

The soul game is bound to succeed. Even if he loses money in the future, Li Wen has to grit his teeth and continue to lose money.

But it's only a loss of three billion...

Well, it really hurts when you think about it carefully.

...

The next day Li Wen and Li Xin boarded the plane back to China.

Before boarding the plane, she also received an invitation from Qiu Zixuan. She said that she would take Li Wen and Li Xin to have fun in the beautiful country.

Li Wen is not very interested in playing in the beautiful country, and neither is Li Xin.

Although her social fear has improved and she is no longer afraid of other people's eyes, but at present, she still cannot communicate with other people normally.

Compared with traveling, she prefers to stay in the company or at home.

Qiu Zixuan declined.

After returning to China, Li Wen gave Li Xin two days off.

Mainly jet lag.

On the other hand, he has more important things to do, so he has to adapt to the jet lag at work.

Back at the company, he started work with the Demon's Soul production team and The Evil Within production team.

He is responsible for producing two games at the same time.

Demon's Soul is a brand new game that Happy Paradise has never touched before, so it is relatively complicated and the progress is slow. In addition, it is currently the game that Happy Paradise has invested the most in, so we must strive for perfection.

He has prepared for at least three months of game production time.

He wants to polish the game to the limit of what Happy Paradise can do.

As for The Evil Within, the play style is very similar to Resident Evil, which is not so difficult for Happy Paradise to make.

With the support of the Resident Evil production team, the speed of game production is very fast.

The survival horror game is one of Happy Paradise's specialty games, the system is very mature, and the production speed is naturally fast.

Of course, the quality of the game can be maintained while the production speed is fast.

The investment of The Evil Within is not much, only 50 million.

The main reason is that games such as survival horror have been played by Happy Paradise very well, and the production cost has also dropped a lot.

It is precisely because of Happy Paradise's familiarity with this type of game that Li Wen set up a temporary small production team to produce The Evil Within.

As for games with a medieval background like Demon's Soul, Happy Paradise has never dabbled in it before, so it can only move forward while groping.

Even if the number of people is much higher than that of the Evil Spirit, the production speed cannot keep up with the Evil Spirit.

...

Happy Paradise won Best Horror Game of the Year for its escape game.

50% discount on all platforms of games released by the company.

Although the price of the Happy Paradise game is cheaper than that of game companies of the same level.

But so far it has only been discounted once.

Today, the entire company's games are 50% off.

It's not just a buyout game with a 50% discount.

Even the battle royale arcade has 50% off.

This time tempted many players to krypton gold.

This discount will last for a full week.

The krypton gold turnover in the battle royale mall is more than three times the sum before the discount.

Let Happy Paradise make a lot of money in one go.

Coupled with the active player trading platform, Battle Royale has been able to bring profits to Happy Paradise steadily.

This is unmatched by other buyout games.

Other buyout games, except for the best-selling Resident Evil 2, after a 50% discount this time.

Other games basically didn't sell many copies.

On the contrary, Resident Evil 2 sold 40 million copies, and successfully created a new record for Happy Paradise game sales.

Dawn of the Dark Night was successfully launched after the discount ended.

The game was launched very low-key, without any advertisements, that is, it was announced on the official scarf.

Of course, with the stable cooperative relationship with STE now, after the dawn of the night goes online.

Got a free tweet.

Battle Royale not only brings stable profits to Happy Paradise, but also brings stable profits to STE.

Free big seal pushes this kind of recommendation, Happy Paradise doesn't even mention it, STE is very self-conscious.

The big push will continue for about a week.

In fact, there is no need for STE to recommend, players already know this game.

After Xiaotian's live broadcast, the popularity of Dawn of the Dark Night has not dropped, and many players have been waiting for it.

Dawn of the Night is also exclusive to STE for a month, and then it will land on other platforms.

On the first day the game was launched, the number of online players reached 20 million.

This is a bit of an exaggeration.

Even Li Wen was taken aback by the influx of so many players. You must know that the national server of Dark Night Dawn is currently exclusive.

Because the price of each district of STE is different because of the exchange rate and people's living standards.

Ninety-nine percent of the behavior of changing regions to buy games will be banned.

After all, if you can change regions flexibly, most players will flock to low-priced regions to buy games.

After game manufacturers can't make money, they will inevitably find ways to increase game revenue.

So how do you increase your income?

Naturally, the price of games in the low-price area will also increase together.

In this way, local players in low-price areas will bear high game prices.

Guess why there is a low price zone?

Naturally, it is because the living standard of the local people is very low and their income is not too high.

After the price of the game is raised, isn't this depriving the local people in the low-price area of ​​the game and entertainment life?

Therefore, the STE platform is very active in cracking down on cross-region purchases of games.

That's just official talk.

Simply because players buy games across regions, the STE platform and game companies make a lot less money.

STE must not be able to bear being plucked so much.

Naturally, it is necessary to crack down. If the price is raised, it will indeed dissuade those who bought games across regions.

But the problem is that after dissuading these people, local players in low-priced areas will no longer buy games because of the high prices.

Although the profit in the low-price area is very low, is mosquito meat not meat?

In order to be able to eat all the mosquito meat, cross-district purchase games are bound to be hit.

Although the STE national server is not considered a low-cost area, cross-server strikes are determined by procedures and managed across the board.

Buying games across regions, regardless of whether you buy games in low-price regions, as long as you dare to cross regions, STE will dare to block you.

As long as it is found that the IP of the account login is not in the area where the game was purchased, the account will be permanently banned without mercy.

After STE implemented this set of crackdowns, many players have indeed retreated and moved to other platforms.

Later, it was discovered that other platforms also learned from STE to engage in cross-regional purchase strikes.

Eventually players flowed back to STE.

Now the cross-region purchase game system has become more and more mature, and various software brush IPs can be detected, and there is no way to cross regions at all.

Dawn of the Night can only be played on the national server, which makes foreigners very uncomfortable.

Because I can't play it.

Unless it is to go to China to play, but...

How can any player go abroad because of a game.

Isn't this funny?

Li Wen's scarf was flooded by messages from players from all over the world.

It's a pity that he doesn't pay attention to the scarf now, mainly because he doesn't have time, but he is in charge of two projects at the same time.

It was just after the dawn of the night went online, I paid attention to the number of players online.

Fortunately, STE's server is powerful enough, 20 million people are online at the same time, and it does not cause server congestion.

However, due to the large number of players.

There are many servers in the dawn of the night, a total of fifty.

The maximum number of people per server is one million.

Originally, Li Wen only planned to open ten servers.

But it seems that there are so many players, so we can only open more servers.

Although it is also possible to make a server with a capacity of 20 million people, and gather all players into one server.

But in this case, the resources in the game will become extremely scarce, and players will be able to meet a large number of people wherever they go.

Everything needs to be grabbed, and the game experience plummets.

One million people per server, the resources will also be very tight, but it is just enough to meet, and there will not be too scarce a situation.

Of course, things like high-level resources will be very scarce no matter how many people there are on the server.

Dawn of the Night is very popular as soon as it goes online.

This was beyond Li Wen's expectations, and also beyond Zhang Chunsheng's and Su Yang's expectations.

The two of them have nothing to say about the game.

The closer the game's launch time gets, the more nervous they become. What if the game hits the street?

Until now, they were relieved, and of course they were only relieved.

The first time a player enters the game is free, and after death, players need to spend six dollars to buy a resurrection opportunity.

Whether the game can make money depends on how many players are willing to stay and spend six yuan to buy a resurrection opportunity.

Three days passed by in a flash.

Dawn of the Night went from 20 million peak online players on the first day to only about 8 million players left.

However, the more than 8 million players are relatively stable.

It seems that there are still many players who can't adapt to the death of the character and delete the file, and replay the game that needs to buy the chance of resurrection.

On STE, Dawn of the Night is precisely because of this special mechanism, and the praise rate has been mixed.

Although there are mixed reviews, the dawn of the night is really making money.

In three days, not only did they earn back the production fee, but they even made a small profit.

Six dollars for a resurrection doesn't seem like much, and you can't even buy a large bottle of Fat House Happy Water.

But after the player base is high, the six dollars is very objective.

Some players may not die all the time, but this is a minority of players after all.

But normally, for most ordinary players, death is very normal, and they will die if they are not careful.

There are also some extremely unlucky handicapped players whose operations are also embarrassing. The number of times they died is really...

One bad review on STE.

‘As the most loyal fan of Happy Paradise, I have been paying attention to the game Dawn of Darkness from the very beginning when a little information was revealed. '

‘When Xiaotian broadcasted this game, to be honest, the scene of the battle between supermen made my blood boil, and I am looking forward to being able to kill all directions in the game. '

‘However, after entering the game, the gameplay process is completely different from what I imagined. '

'Because, from the very beginning, I was acting for my satiety, and all other values. '

'I even found that it was difficult for me to survive, and I would often accidentally provoke a large group of zombies, and then be eaten by the zombies as food. '

‘This game made me doubt my life, and I even doubted that the live broadcast of Xiaotian’s scenes of fighting with gods was all fake. '

'Sense tells me that Happy Paradise is not a fake, I guess it must be that the way I play is not right. '

‘I started looking for strategies, and then learned that killing zombies can increase the hidden level and unlock the gene lock. '

'I started to kill zombies. The initial abilities of the characters in the game are really good, and they can blow the heads of zombies with just a few punches. '

'However, there are very few zombies that are alone, and they are almost all clustered together. As long as one zombie is attracted, a chain reaction will be generated to attract all the zombies. '

‘Although the initial ability of the character is good, but a bunch of zombies can’t handle it. '

'At this moment, I haven't realized how unfriendly this game is to lone wolf players, and I always thought it was my own reason. '

'So, I started looking for strategies again. '

'Then, I saw a top post, T-Virus Enhancer and Superman Enhancer. '

‘As long as you inject this enhancer, you can directly increase the level. '

'I opened the official trading platform with great joy, searched for enhancers, and wanted to buy one to strengthen myself. '

‘However, when I saw the price of this enhancer, I instantly felt that as a poor dog, I really didn’t deserve to play this game. '

‘A bottle of T-virus enhancer is sold for 5,000 yuan? Is this serious? '
