God-level game designer starts with scared crying anchor

Chapter 14 The Motivation Is Clearly Impure

Chapter 14 The Motivation Is Clearly Impure
Three days passed in a flash, and the first Magic City International Game Exhibition came to a perfect conclusion.

However, the interest of the players has obviously not faded because of this, and there are still heated discussions about this exhibition everywhere on the Internet.

Seeing this, the organizer Piaomiao Xiangong didn't waste the waste heat and launched a poll, asking players which game at the exhibition they were most looking forward to playing.

Although there were no prizes for this vote, let alone the No.1 voted for sale immediately, players still participated in it one after another.

Looking around, behind the top five games are familiar behemoths, and players are not surprised by this.

However, the No.9 game is what makes players talk about it, because this game is Xun Ze's "Tea Cuphead".

A game completely developed by an individual has become more popular than many well-known game companies and star game designers, ranking No.9.

If it weren't for the rich background of the previous games, they might even be pulled down by "Tea Cuphead".

And shortly after the voting ended, the official version of "Cuphead" was released on the steampunk game platform, and it was also an exclusive release.

At the moment when the game was released, countless players poured into the steam friend game platform, causing the platform to experience obvious lag.

After Lin Song learned of the situation, he immediately took 5000 yuan to the desk of the programmer brother, saying that if he could solve the stuck situation within half an hour, the money would be taken away.

The little programmer immediately turned on his firepower, his eyes seemed to glow red, and it took only 10 minutes for the platform to return to normal.

After solving the problem, the programmer brother collapsed on the chair, but he did not forget to put 5000 yuan into his pocket, and made a silly smile from time to time, which made people worry that he had burned his brain too much and made himself stupid.

After returning to normal, Lin Song stared at the sales of "Cuphead" the whole time.

One hundred thousand copies an hour.

15 copies in two hours.

18 copies in three hours.

……

Twenty-four hours later, the sales of "Cuphead" were counted, and a total of 24 copies were sold.

You must know that after multiple considerations, Xun Ze raised the price of "Tea Cuphead" to 60 yuan a copy.

In other words, in just one day, the income of "Tea Cuphead" reached 800 million.

This is only the first day. According to this trend, it is not impossible for "Cuphead" to sell a million copies a month.

After getting the data, Lin Song called Xun Ze immediately.

"Brother Xun, the 24-hour sales of "Tea Cuphead" exceeded 30. You have succeeded again!"

Xun Ze, who had just returned home, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "That's right! That's really great."

This statistic was indeed enough to make Xun Ze happy, but it was far from enough to make him dance.

Hearing that Xun Ze's tone was not as excited as he had imagined, Lin Song also calmed down a little.

He secretly thought that he was still a little impatient, that someone in his 30s was not as stable as Xun Ze.

"Brother Xun, you are confident! You are not surprised at all." Lin Song said with a smile.

"Ah...it's okay! Because I was excited during "Fear of Ghosts", and with experience, I must be calmer than the first time."

"Brother Xun, you are being modest!" Lin Song laughed, and then asked again: "Brother Xun, what are your plans for the future?"

"I'm planning to quit the house I'm renting now and move to Shanghai," Xun Ze said.

He is an orphan, and the house he lives in is also rented, so he has nothing to miss at all.

As an international metropolis, Modu has higher room for development and tolerance than the place where he lives now.

Among other things, many domestic and foreign game companies are located in Shanghai.

Almost all large-scale exhibitions are basically held in Shanghai.

If Xun Ze moved to Shanghai, many things would be much more convenient.

In addition, Lin Song is also in Shanghai, so there is more or less a support.

It is worth mentioning that in order to keep Xun Ze, Lin Song has already signed a contract with Xun Ze.

In the future, as long as Xun Ze's games are released on the steampunk game platform and are exclusively sold, the commission will be reduced to [-]%, and he can still enjoy the greatest resource tilt.

In the contract, there is no rigid requirement that Xun Ze be bound to the steampunk game platform, which gives Xun Ze great freedom.

Although in this way, the steampunk game platform will make a lot of less money, but Lin Song thinks everything is worth it.

In his opinion, as long as he has a good relationship with Xun Ze, there will be more and more good games that can be exclusively enjoyed by the steampunk platform in the future.

Leaving aside, let’s just say that the recently released "Tea Cuphead" has given Lin Song a taste of the sweetness.

Lin Song was also very happy when he heard that Xun Ze was going to move to Shanghai. After solving the problem of distance, it would be easier to ask questions.

Thinking of this, Lin Song said, "Brother Xun, let me ask you about the house. It just so happens that I have a friend who works as a house agency. I will definitely pick a good house for you."

"Brother Lin, I'm sorry to trouble you. But for the time being, I can only rent, not buy a house."

Xun Ze intends to live in the center of the city, but with the housing prices in the city, even if he has almost 1000 million in savings, it is probably not enough to buy a house he likes.

"Don't worry, leave it to me, brother, this matter will definitely be handled properly for you."

"Ok."

After the two chatted for a while, Xun Ze hung up the call, started to pack his things, and prepared to leave the house and go to Shanghai.

At the same time, the majority of players are enjoying the "happiness" brought to them by "Tea Cuphead".

"I threw up! How could a man-eating flower jump out of this place!" Hanmei, who was broadcasting live, almost dropped the controller.

"Hanmei, just give up on your skills!"

"The next door started broadcasting later than you, and now the progress is faster than you."

"Yes! It's still too late for a refund!"

When she saw the barrage urging her to get a refund, Hanmei slammed the table and said, "I'm going to leave my words here today, and whoever asks me to get a refund, I will ban him for a month. Brother Xun's game is very fun , it's my own problem that I can't get through, and I will never refund!"

Although Hanmei's words were obviously not purely motivated, she did sincerely feel that "Tea Cuphead" is a very fun game.

Although "Tea Cuphead" is not scary at all, the challenge is no less than that of "Phobia", even worse.

Don't look at the retro style of "Tea Cuphead", but the difficulty of the game is the most difficult among all horizontal shooting games that Hanmei has played.

And the difficulty of the game is not simply piling up the number of monsters, or making the screen full of bullets, brainlessly increasing the difficulty.

Whether it's mobs or boss attacks, they are all regular and rhythmic.

Players need to adapt to this pattern and rhythm.

That is to say, in addition to buying skills and props for Cuphead and strengthening game characters, players themselves must also grow accordingly.

If the reaction ability is not good, just use memory, and many places can still be cleared by relying on the backboard.

Therefore, during the game, even if the player is killed by the boss, there is always a feeling that I will succeed next time.

But often the next time, the player either made a mistake and was killed, or was killed by the boss's new move.

When the players reacted, the refund time for the game had passed, and they could only bite the bullet and continue playing even if they were upset.

But I have to say that when the player defeats the BOSS that has been stuck for a long time, the sense of accomplishment and exhilaration is hard to replace in similar games.

Half an hour later, Hanmei finally defeated the two frog bosses.

She was so excited that she jumped up with an "aww", but forgot that she was still wearing earphones, not only tore off the earphone cable, but also knocked over things on the table, and she was in a hurry.

At the same time, the voice of the system sounded in the mind of Xun Ze, who was drinking water at home.
