Chapter 20 IGN Ratings

"Anthem", the biggest dark horse at the beginning of this year, quickly climbed to the tenth place on the steam platform bestseller list!

Domestic light?Discuss the shortcomings of "Hymn".

"Anthem" has caused a sensation in overseas markets, and the IGN review will be released soon!

The mysterious producer has not been revealed yet!Let's take a look at the Steam community profile of the creator of Anthem.

It is rumored that Tengyi Network intends to contact the producer of "Anthem", or will invest.

……

Chen Tiancai lay on the bed and watched the news released by these game media, some of which were more popular, and some were nitpicking.

Today is the weekend, and the rare rest time is of course perfect only if you get into bed and play with your phone all morning.So Chen Tiancai continued to turn over and started looking for any other news.

Within half a month, the sales volume of "Anthem" has exceeded 40!
It greatly exceeded Chen Tiancai's expectations.

Although domestic players currently have the largest number of users on the steam platform, Chen Tiancai knows very well that many players basically only regard the steam platform as a starter for eating chicken, and will not buy other stand-alone games at all.

Therefore, Chen Tiancai published the English version of "Hymn" at the beginning, hoping that his work would have a good harvest in the English-speaking region.

Such a decision did not disappoint Chen Tiancai, the English region accounted for a full [-]% of the sales of "Anthem"!
Chen Tiancai envies the mature stand-alone game market abroad, but he also knows that this is a legacy of history, and China will slowly catch up in this regard.

But the process is also very difficult.

Although the revenue of domestic game companies is very good, and Tengyi even became the world's most profitable game company for a time, Chen Tiancai is very clear that the domestic game industry has reached a bottleneck. Because of the obsession with making profits, many games are getting more and more popular. It’s ugly, trying to drain players’ money.

For example, most card-drawing games can make people addicted to money. In fact, they take advantage of the players' gambler mentality.

Game companies have seen the depth of players’ wallets, and continue to study how to empty them instead of improving the quality of games, resulting in a lack of differentiation in the domestic game market, and the market share is getting weaker and weaker.Players are also gradually getting tired of krypton gold again and again, and even yell at each other.

Players find that they have spent so much money in a blink of an eye, and they will fall into the psychology of self-blame, unable to appreciate the joy brought by the game at all.

Chen Tiancai doesn't know if he can change the domestic game industry, but he hopes he can become a breeze.Let all domestic players who really love games know that they are not alone, and someone is willing to carry a flag and walk in front of them.

After being pretentious for a while, Chen Tiancai saw a new push message:
""Anthem" received an evaluation of 8.5 points from IGN, becoming the highest score in the history of a domestic game!"

Chen Tiancai laughed happily and realized that he should have raised a flag called 'domestic single machine'.

He seems to see that there are also those predecessors who walked ahead decades ago on this banner. The domestic stand-alone developed by them at that time is the rising sun that illuminates their own path.

……

IGN is a very authoritative foreign game evaluation media, and it is also the fashion standard of domestic game media.

Within a week, the 8.5 points of "Anthem" completely detonated the domestic Internet, and even many non-game websites also published this incident, bringing unprecedented enthusiasm.

The unprecedented popularity has brought "Anthem" even hotter sales, although there are not many domestic stand-alone players.But after hearing the news, even players who have never touched the strategy type went to the steam platform to buy "Anthem" to support it.

This also allowed the sales of "Anthem" to reach an astonishing 80 copies a week later, doubling from last week.Looking at this trend, no one can predict how many copies of "Anthem" will be sold one month after its release.

However, the unanimous opinion is that "Hymn" will definitely break through 100 million copies before the end of the month and create a new history.

The topic continues to be hyped, but it seems that intentionally or unintentionally, everyone’s attention is focused on one issue:

Who is the producer of "Anthem"?
Of course, Chen Tiancai didn't deliberately keep a low profile, but he just didn't think there was much benefit in showing his face.

The success of "Anthem" has made his fans on the steam platform exceed 60. As long as he continues to use this account to post new works, then self-identity will not benefit him much except to bring traffic to the media.

Because it took him a lot of effort just to appease Liu Cheng and Fang Jingtang from Chaoyang Company.

These two people have read the planning book of "Song of Hymn", and they are also old people in the industry, so they naturally know that Chen Tiancai's game making speed is really too fast.

But fortunately, the two of them were also aware of the conditions of Chen Tiancai's family, so they let Chen Tiancai prevaricate with the phrase 'father used money to find a foreign outsourcing team'.

At the same time, Chen Tiancai also discovered a bigger problem.

That is, he wants to form a game company, but how can he transform the technical advantages brought by the world editor into reality, after all, there is only one black gold ring.

Fortunately, the smart assistant gave Chen Tiancai the answer.

Since the world editor can make games, it can also make a game specifically for making games.

In other words, if the world editor can make a program like a game, then a program like a game engine can also be made.

In this way, Chen Tiancai breathed a sigh of relief.

But it takes time to make a game engine with the world editor. Although you don’t need music and art, and you don’t need to write a plan, you still have to do it like a cat and a tiger, and make it look like a real game engine.

Chen Tiancai has spent a lot of time learning the game engine this week. As soon as he understands a little principle, he will immediately start practicing in the world editor.

Fortunately, most of the functions of the world editor overlap with the game engine, so Chen Tiancai's workload is not too big, he only needs to repair some corners and add some functions.

So this week also came up with a framework. It is estimated that a lot can be done in a month, and it will take another month to complete the work.

At the same time, Chen Tiancai also began to think about when he should resign from Chaoyang Games.

As for his own company, Chen Tiancai spent money to find professionals to go through the formalities, and it estimated that it would take three to two months to complete all the procedures.

As for Chen Tiancai, he just needs to resign from Chaoyang Games before that, so as not to cause any trouble at that time. After all, what he wants to do is also a game company, so he has to pay attention to the distance between them.

If he had some free time, Chen Tiancai would also spend it in the 'Pirate Ship' group chat, communicating with An Qinghuan and Shen Jianxing.

An Qinghuan and Shen Jianxing are definitely important contributors to the success of "Hymn", and Chen Tiancai also confirmed the talents of these two people through cooperation.

Therefore, Chen Tiancai believed that his game company absolutely needed the two of them to join.

　The contract has been signed and the contract is being prepared. You can invest a little bit.

　　It would be even better if there are tickets and collections~
