Game company goes bankrupt? I backhand cyberpunk!

Lin Yuan has too much confidence in Stardew Valley. To be honest, he has more confidence than Legend of Sword and Fairy. Because the sales of this game are at the peak level in history and it is a real phenomenon. level works.

Do you understand the value of selling 12 million copies?

But the outside world may not believe it. Stardew Valley, which is definitely ranked among the top four farming games, was independently produced by one person. The producer is Eric Baron. He spent four years polishing Stardew Valley bit by bit. During this period, the project was delayed several times. Every time Stardew Valley was about to be released, Eric Baron would choose to release Stardew Valley. The story is back and polished, and it can be said that it is a top-notch detail maniac.

But in fact, now that he is a gamer, Lin Yuan understands Eric Baron's mood at that time very well.

Just like people who do not go out to find a job after graduating from college, but continue to go to school to obtain academic qualifications, they will become afraid of finding a job. Eric Baron was more afraid at that time than to perfect the details of the game. What's more, when the game is released, it will not be as good as his expectations. He is afraid that the game he made by being alone and isolated from the world for several years will not be popular.

Making games has become a solace for the soul. If it weren’t for the help from the publisher later, Eric Baron might still have delayed the project.

As for Stardew Valley, just as Feng Shuyun said, this game is not difficult to make. The so-called graphics and gameplay are very important to Nanxing programmers and artists who have already produced games such as Legend of Sword and Fairy and Animal Party. For us, it’s so simple that it explodes.

But its gameplay cannot be described in words, because Stardew Valley is definitely an artistic work. People who can play it patiently for two hours will spend dozens or hundreds of years in their lives. If you throw it in for hours, you will slowly become immersed in the second world created for them by Eric Baron.

The production process is simple, the gameplay is strong, and it has received rave reviews. 990 people out of 1,000 people gave it good reviews, which is really not a boast.

However, Stardew Valley has also been criticized, that is, the game server can support online connection, but the problem is that the network is always prone to interruption when connected.

But if Lin Yuan is left here, this will improve.

Because Eric Baron is a person after all, but what about South Star?

Lin Yuan handed Eric Baron's plan to Li Lin. Li Lin was working on it with more than 20 people. It was fast and perfect. It can only be said that in terms of details, it may not be as good as Eric. ·Baron.

But the degree of completion of the game will never be lower than that of Eric Baron.

After all, it’s still the same sentence. Stardew Valley is a pixel game. When the pixel game is polished, the details are more about the plot and modeling. But the problem is that this game is a game in a DIY world. Is the so-called scenery beautiful? , whether the scene is good or not may really not be a problem of the producer, but an aesthetic problem of the players themselves.

Just like Minecraft, some people can use cubes to make a dragon or a big sister, but some people have trouble building a house. Is that a problem with the game? That's a human problem!

You can’t blame the earth’s gravity for not being able to poop, right? The inability to build a good scene cannot be blamed on Nanxing's poor modeling.

Lin Yuan suddenly laughed.

Feng Shuyun in front of him looked a little disgusted.

You suddenly laughed so disgustingly. Feng Shuyun said in a low voice.

Lin Yuan immediately stopped smiling, looked at Feng Shuyun, snorted, and said, You think I'm disgusting? Then when the new game makes money, don't hug me again.

Feng Shuyun, who had just received 27 million in copyright fees, also hummed, Who wants to hug you? I have a huge amount of money now! It doesn't cost much to make new games. Once Tianyou's share comes next month, My little treasury will have more than 40 million!

Feng Shuyun said and giggled.

Forty million

Old man Feng may not be able to come up with 40 million working capital, but I, Feng Shuyun, can!

Become bigger and stronger, and when the time comes, go back and let Mr. Feng see what it means to be better than someone who has already mastered, and to beat the wave before you! The miser like Old Man Feng was knocked unconscious on the beach!

The more Feng Shuyun thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and the coconut chicken that cost 54 yuan for a large portion in front of him became more and more delicious.

But at the same time, Feng Shuyun also had a deeper recognition of Lin Yuan's abilities.

How long has it been since Lin Yuan was appointed as the chief planner?

Just one year

In one year, Nanxing went from a game company with total assets of just over one million to a game company with total assets of almost over 100 million. Feng Shuyun felt a little dazed thinking about it.

She suddenly felt that that afternoon, she broke the pot and gave the remaining funds after the project team ran away to Lin Yuan to make games, which was the most correct choice she had ever made in her life.

Boss, what are you thinking about?

I was thinking about the trial version of Stardew Valley. When can I play it? Feng Shuyun said immediately after being awakened from his memories.

You can't praise Lin Yuan. If others praise him, he will just smile and say nothing. Just like Li Lin and the employees in Luoyang, they listen to Lin Yuan's words as an edict, but Lin Yuan only knows how to do it when they praise him. Smiling without saying a word.

But what about yourself?

If you praise him, he will immediately turn his mouth!

If you twist your mouth, you are so mean!

Soon, the construction period will only be two or three months at most. In about mid-May, you will be able to play the first trial version. Lin Yuan put down the soup bowl and said to Feng Shuyun.

Two or three months is enough to produce Stardew Valley. Nanxing is not what it used to be. Although there are many new people in the team, the execution speed is naturally very fast with an old man leading the project.

What Lin Yuan handed over to Li Lin was the completed version of Stardew Valley, and the community plot and character dialogue were all handled by Lin Yuan himself.

Therefore, Stardew Valley can take up to three months, and it will definitely be completed within three months.

Post a message on the official blog tonight, and then spend some money to find someone to do the announcement this time? Lin Yuan thought for a while and said.

Although it is said that good food is never too late, and Nanxing is now famous, it is still important to announce things like this. The better the data on the first day, the better the record that can be created by then.

People have a herd mentality. When they see a new game selling so well, they will definitely click in and take a look. After entering this point, wouldn’t the next moment they buy the game?

But Feng Shuyun was a little helpless and muttered: The game has only been in production for two days, and you are already thinking about the announcement?

It really is

Then let's post on Weibo first and tell the players that our new game is already in production. The next step is to find out if there is a suitable up owner, preferably a farming sandbox survival up owner, contact them and ask Ask them if they would like to participate in the trial of Stardew Valley and help promote it.”

How much is the advertising fee? Feng Shuyun asked, biting his chopsticks.

Then it depends on the number of fans. There are tiers of 1,000, 2,000, and 5,000. Anyway, I think in this sandbox farming game, there should be no ups with more than one million fans, and the cost per player should not exceed 20,000. Lin Yuan said.

It really doesn't cost a lot of money to find up in the game area to promote the game.

Feng Shuyun nodded, gestured OK with his little hand, and said: Arrange!

A few hours later, on Weibo, Nanxing, who had been quiet for a while after the release of Fairy Sword, suddenly posted a fake news.

Nanxing Games: [Good evening everyone~ It’s been half a month since we last saw each other. Have you missed us already? Or are you guys playing Sword and Fairy and Animal Party? I want to tell you some good news. Our new game is already in production. It is a sandbox game with great graphics, high degree of freedom, and the ability to create a small town!

The game is currently in production, and it is expected that game-related content will be released on Tianyou in two weeks~~~]

After netizens found out that Nan Xing's official blog was run by her boss, Feng Shuyun gave up the cute title of Nan Xing Niang.

Haha, if everyone didn’t know before, they could still talk about it. Now everyone knows, and then they call themselves Nanxing Niang or something like that. Hey, that kind of thing is really shameful!

And this Weibo immediately received responses from many people.

[Just here, Nanxing is making another game? 】

[What the hell, wasn’t The Legend of Sword and Fairy just released a while ago? 】

[I don’t even have diarrhea that fast! 】

[My sows also give birth in different seasons! 】

[Nanxing is really too prolific, with several hits a year. Family members, I say that Nanxing is the light of domestic games in the future. No one objects, right? 】

【Production competition sow! 】

And because of its excessive production speed that its peers could not understand, Nanxing also gained a new nickname.

Recognized as the sow in the gaming industry!

【Sow Nanxing】
