game development savior

Chapter 16
Before the review news about "Motorcycle - Beyond 2001" from "Cybersoft" came out, the game had been rapidly spreading in the underground game market.

And after the press release came out, almost the entire PZ game circle.

Even ordinary players who rarely pay attention to underground games have heard about a new PZ platform game.

Not just a rare, antique PZ platformer.

And the game is very fun!
Suddenly, sales were booming.

In one of Baohu's strongholds, a street boy was asking: "Lao Niu, do you have "Violent Motorcycle" here?"

Lao Niu shook his head, "Brother, you're late. Brother Baohu bought 500 sets for me, and they've already been ordered."

The consumer was very dissatisfied: "No, I asked you, have you not licked Brother Baohu's eyes recently?"

"You are a cool old guy who specializes in selling games! Brother!"

"You actually distributed 500 sets and told me it was out of stock?"

"I came here to find you by taking the subway. I just wanted to take care of the business of an acquaintance, but you didn't have any goods. It's really embarrassing."

Lao Niu said cheerfully: "Hey, there is no way, who would have thought that "Bike Violence" would be so popular?"

"Our boss, Brother Baohu, is already very strategic and ordered 10 sets of games immediately."

"But you also know that Brother Baohu's business is extensive, with dozens of locations, large and small. My place is inconspicuous. Only 500 units were distributed in the first batch."

"But don't worry, Brother Baohu has already sent me a message, saying that he has ordered the second batch of goods with that mouse and mouse studio."

"The boss of the cassette factory will personally go to the production line to tighten the screws. Anyone who is lazy will be whipped!"

"The goods will be shipped as soon as possible, and our brother Baohu will go directly to get them!"

The disappointed consumer waved his hand, "Hey, I'll wait for your hammer, forget it, I'll go to Smith's son of a bitch to have a look."

"That guy seems to be doing very well recently. He has a bigger plate than you, so he may have the goods."

Generally speaking, the supply of "Violent Motorcycle-Beyond 2001" can keep up. After all, it is only a few hundred thousand cassettes.

However, the sales volume of the first batch was too hot, and the volume of goods at various sales points was uneven.

As a result, there was a shortage of goods in some areas of Suzaku City.

There were even a few small scalpers who earned a few packs of money by reselling game cassettes.

The booming sales have driven more underground game dealers to place orders.

Not only big business dealers like Brother Baohu, but also many small and medium-sized game dealers, as well as several underground game dealers who came from other places, have also negotiated business with Mouse.

Within two days of the launch of "Violent Motorcycle", the game's shipments and sales have already exceeded the latest statistics on the number of active PZ game consoles in Suzaku City.

That is more than 30 sets.

Directly rushed to 50 sets!

There are only 30 active PZ game machines in Suzaku City.

The Mouse Studio in Suzaku City sold 50 sets of game cassettes.

This is actually quite understandable.

The number of active players is not equal to the number of PZ game consoles.

As a once king machine, the PZ game console has gone through ups and downs for half a century. Although most of it has become electronic waste, it may have been recycled several times.

But even if only 1% of PZ consoles survive, that's a huge number.

Many people's PZ game consoles have been broken for many years at the bottom of the box, but as long as they are repaired by someone, they can still continue to serve.

Thanks to the word-of-mouth of the game, many originally inactive PZ host users also took out their dusty game consoles and bought "Violent Motorcycle" to play.

Plus, there are already more and more orders from other cities.

So in fact, the upper limit of sales of "Violent Motorcycle-Beyond 2001" is far from the 30 active users in the previous survey.

But a wider sky!
A market that has been abandoned but still has value.

50 sets is still just the beginning.

With the popularity of "Motorcycle Violence - Beyond 2001", a large number of game videos have been uploaded on Mengdan Danmaku.com, the largest video website.

The number of hits skyrocketed.

Although it is not as good as the game videos of regular big companies such as Polar Bear, but in the small independent studio games, the popularity has risen like a rocket.

This enthusiasm was naturally noticed by the company dogs.

In the independent office building of Black Steel Studio, a subsidiary of Polar Bear Company, Zhou Lun, a programmer with all ten fingers prosthetic, took the floating elevator to the general manager's office on the top floor.

In the waiting hall, Zhou Lun said to the lady at the front desk: "Please make an appointment for me with Mr. Howell. I have something important to report to him."

"Uh, it's about our new game." Zhou Lun added.

With the help of the mechanical lips, the front desk lady made a standardized etiquette smile and replied gently and sweetly: "Okay Mr. Zhou, I will send your reservation application to Mr. Howell, please wait."

Zhou Lun nodded and sat on the sofa. Virtual projections of several drinks appeared on the coffee table.

Zhou Lun reached out and clicked, the image of a bottle of coffee.

A moment later, a shelf protruded from the bottom of the coffee table, and the coffee on the shelf was still steaming from the logistics tube.

Take off the coffee, and the shelf automatically retracts under the coffee table.

Zhou Lun also used coffee to hide his nervousness - even though Howell was just a boss of a studio owned by Polar Bear Company.

He is not a high-ranking person within Polar Bear Company at all.

But even so, Howell is the real father of an ordinary company dog ​​like Zhou Lun.

Zhou Lun needs to rely on Papa Howell for work, prosthetic loan, house, and even life.

Just like Howell needs to rely on polar bear headquarters.

A few minutes later, the front desk lady said to Zhou Lun with a mechanical smile: "Hello, Mr. Howell is free now. Please come in."

The luxurious and solemn door opened automatically, and two sexual dolls with heavy makeup, a man and a woman, came out from inside. There was a pungent smell of cosmetics in the air.

Zhou Lun knew that the smell was not only a cosmetic, but also a spice that added to the atmosphere.

The well-dressed Howell sat on his chair, lit a cigar, as the saying goes, a cigarette after the event, and was as happy as a fairy.

Sitting across from the golden desk, Zhou Lun reported the latest situation he discovered to his boss, Howell.

"Boss, I noticed that a new PZ platform game has become popular recently in the market, to be precise, in the underground game market."

"Moto Violence-Beyond 2001 has received rave reviews and has become the most popular PZ game nowadays."

"We might want to pay attention."
