Starting to make a ghost story game from Sadako

"Horror dream games have always been in a very awkward position in the market. Three large international dream-making companies, such as Kaitian, Mengmeng, and Qianqiu, have all given up on the horror dream market. Without the support of big capital, this category is like a pool of stagnant water. There is no vitality." Jiang Li also has a very clear understanding of the current dream market situation, and explained the dilemma of horror dreams clearly.

"If you just plan to use horror dreams to practice first, it is a good choice. After all, there seem to be nearly a million horror dreamers now, and the competition is small. As long as the quality of the dreams is good enough, you can get good recommendation resources."

One million horror dreamers sounds like a lot, but 80% of them are just for fun and don't even have a decent work on hand. And even if they are all professional, this ratio will be more than 300 million in total. There are also very few dream makers.

"That's because there have never been enough good works in horror games to attract the attention of these capitals. Once such a work is produced, then this stagnant water will become alive again, and this work will be created by me." Qin Ge is very confident in his professional field. After drinking half a glass of orange juice in one breath, the dizziness in his head has indeed weakened a lot.

"This is an endless cycle." Jiang Li tucked her hanging hair behind her ears and said with a smile: "If you don't have good enough works, you won't be able to attract capital injection, and if you lack capital injection, you won't have enough strength to develop excellent works."

"Starting from a small but sophisticated dream game, it doesn't require much capital. It's just that there is a lack of people who have the patience to polish it." Qin Ge continued: "And according to my understanding, Qianqiu has not completely given up on the horror game market. Its Tianlan work The studio recently developed a game called "School Rules."

"It seems that you have indeed conducted detailed market research, and did not just rely on your own imagination and enthusiasm." Jiang Li shrugged. At first, she was worried that Qin Ge was too blind, but judging from the conversation, he I have a clear understanding, but I may still underestimate the difficulty of this matter.

But forget it, after all, everyone is still young and has the capital to try and make mistakes. The passion that has not been extinguished is the most important.

"Are you done?" Bai Lu narrowed her eyes and put down the cleanly chewed chicken wings she had snatched from Qin Ge's bowl. The two people had been talking about something they didn't understand, and they both listened quickly. Asleep, "How many people have purchased your dream now?"

Qin Ge finally came back to life after eating and drinking. Hearing this, he couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and open the backstage of Dream Maker. Bai Lu and Jiang Li also came over.

[Number of viewers: 9, number of people who added to shopping cart: 0, number of buyers: 0, comments: 0, number of reviewers: 0, current ratings are nil, revenue earned: 0]

Looking at the four 0's in the background, Qin Ge couldn't help but burst into tears. Sure enough, the price was still too high and it was not attractive at all. Moreover, as the release time got longer, even the most recently updated works could not be found for this game. exists, not to mention there will be other traffic in the future.

"Qin Ge, you are wrong." Bai Lu said with a serious face: "If you are determined to become a dream maker, you can't use this method of marking a high price to make a lot of money and run away. This way you will They can no longer gain a foothold in this industry.”

Jiang Li also nodded in agreement. This price is indeed outrageous for a small dreamland. You must know that the small dreams made by the studios of large companies rarely exceed one hundred yuan.

Circle you.

Qin Ge didn't want to, but couldn't explain it. He could only bite the bullet and said: "I am very confident in my work. It is worth the price. A good work should not rely on low prices to gain popularity."

"Then why don't you try to promote yourself by posting on the Xinghai Forum? Many unknown dreamers use this method to initially gain popularity." Jiang Li tried to make suggestions.

"It's been posted." Although Qin Ge said that the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, he was still a little scared in his heart. No matter how experienced a creator is, he has a kind of uncertainty about his new works, worrying that they will Will not be welcomed by the market.

So he posted on the forum when he first uploaded the game.

"Unprecedented stimulating experience, bringing you unprecedented stress relief and relaxation"

"Is your title really promoting a horror game?" Jiang Li asked unsure.

"Didn't you see them all?" Qin Ge rolled his eyes and scrolled down the post. There were hundreds of replies underneath, but the content was basically the same.

[Bedding Philosopher]: Horrible dream? No need to read it, you can just label it as garbage.

[Fantasy Flowers and Weeds of the Motherland]: God, a small dreamland dares to bid 108 yuan. Is the creator crazy about money? The author still has the nerve to recommend it.

oh! It turned out to be the creator himself, who pretended I didn’t say anything.

[Fish that slip through the net in compulsory education]: Others are cutting leeks, but this poster doesn’t even intend to keep the roots, so run away!

...

These are relatively polite, most of them just start talking when they see the price and the scary dream.

I really thought it was too simple.

Just when Qin Ge was doubting his life, a message suddenly popped up on his phone. Someone had placed an order to buy "Tokyo Ghost Story - Sadako". The number of buyers, 0, turned into a dazzling 1, and then immediately turned into 2.

Xinghai also sent a congratulatory message.

"Dear Dream Maker and Coke Sweetener, congratulations on taking the first step. From zero to one is the beginning of all great things."

"Sure enough, there are still knowledgeable people in this world." Qin Ge jumped up holding the phone and smacked the screen, "I really want to bite them in person."

"Just take one bite and you'll be free. Come with us to go shopping tomorrow." Jiang Li covered her mouth and chuckled while shaking the page on her phone.

"I don't have to." Bai Lu said with a look of disgust: "I just can't find a game to live broadcast tonight, so I'll use your work to play for a while."

"It turns out it's you two." Qin Ge's surprised face fell instantly. There was no sense of accomplishment at all.

"Your reaction gave me the urge to refund my money."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Qin Ge is an upright man, he can stand up and kneel down, and he knelt down without any psychological barriers.

Jiang Li nodded with satisfaction, then frowned and said to Bai Lu: "Are you sure you want to play the horror dream tonight? Don't get into my bed like last time and take off my clothes when I sleep until midnight... ..."

Halfway through her words, she saw Qin Ge's eyes twinkling with curiosity. When she realized something was wrong, she coughed twice and closed her mouth.
