Develop the horror Silent Hill, scare players all over the world

Now they just hope that the time will pass faster and the advertising time will end quickly.

"Dark Soul" is hopeful but not playable, it is really torture! !

……

Inside the rental house.

In the hall with the sign of Weiguang Studio, Chen Mu and five other people were sitting on the sofa, eating fruit while watching the live broadcast on the TV screen.

In a thriving situation, the stone in Chen Mu's heart also fell.

Although I know the excellence of "Dark Soul", but I haven't seen the real results, and I still have no idea.

But fortunately, a good game is a good game, and it can be recognized by the public everywhere. Looking at the current situation of the live broadcast platform, it can be seen that most of the anchors have devoted themselves to "Dark Soul".

It seems that if you don't play "Dark Soul", the popularity will drop instantly!

Originally, many people questioned "Dark Soul", thinking that the development time of "Dark Soul" was too short, and there were too few developers, so it was most likely a shoddy game.

Facts gave them a big slap, "Dark Soul" is far better than imagined.

On the bullet screens in the major live broadcast rooms, the original questioning voices have disappeared completely. Some people may scold the designer for being too stupid, but no one said that "Dark Soul" is not good.

Even though many anchors' scalps were numb from being abused, and they wanted to smash their computers, they still didn't say anything bad. They were in a painful and happy mood. The more they experienced failure, the more they yearned for success.

"Brother Mu, the background data is out."

Zhang Ziyang moved the laptop to the table in front of the sofa, and signaled Chen Mu to look over it. The computer screen was the background interface of "Dark Soul".

It records the data for one hour of sale——

Sales volume: 16290

Number of Refunds: 211

Sales: 3022853

More than 300 million!

In just one hour, more than 300 million sales were made!

This is an extremely exaggerated data!

Even though Chen Mu was already mentally prepared, he was still taken aback.

He has conducted a special investigation before, and the current domestic buyout system game has the highest sales volume of 180 million in one hour, which is the data from three years ago.

And now, the data of "Dark Soul" has completely broken this record!

Buyout games generally have a two-hour protection period after purchase. This period of time can be used for players to play and taste the quality of the game. If they are not satisfied, they can refund within two hours.

It is also because of this that many games may seem to have extremely high sales, but the actual sales are not. Just like "Knight Legend", most players choose to refund after playing.

But the excellence of "Dark Soul" is obvious to all. Now three hours have passed since the game was released, and the number of refunds within an hour is only more than 200.

It also includes many players who made mistakes in purchases, or made mistakes in their hands...

Chapter 46 Zhou Liang: I Don't Want to Be the Second Chen Mu

One hour.

All Chen Mu's previous arrears were wiped out!

Chen Mu couldn't help feeling happy. In a sense, this was the first money he earned through game sales. Not only did he pay off his debts, but it was also of great significance.

"Get rich, Brother Mu!"

"Brother Mu, this game is really amazing!"

Beside Chen Mu, the other five people were all dumbfounded when they heard this statistic, and it took a long time to calm down, and then they started discussing and laughing loudly.

"Speaking of it, this game seems to be similar to "Silent Hill PT". It was almost developed by Brother Mu himself. He completed all the frameworks by himself, and we just injected some embellishments into it..."

"It's amazing, Brother Mu, we all thought that you were already devastated at that time, but we didn't expect you to silently research such a masterpiece!"

Before the game was released, they knew in their hearts that "Dark Soul" was definitely an excellent game, but these were just what they thought.

Until now, when the real data is shown in front of their eyes, they don't know how good this game is.

The latest record of the Huaguo buyout system game!

Chen Mu was praised by everyone, he waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile:

"I don't know how the data of "Legend of the Knight" is, but it should not be our opponent."

"I really want to see Zhou Liang's expression now."

……

Shenzhou Goose Factory headquarters.

Zhou Liang slapped the desk in front of him loudly. After reading the data report just now, he was about to go crazy, and he almost lost his breath.

One hour.

Sales quantity 15441

Number of Refunds 13666

Sales 333700

"You...you say it again?!"

"Sales are only 30 fucking?!!"

"what?!!"

Zhou Liang was so angry that he almost yelled out his words. The employee on the opposite side was so frightened that he dared not speak. He gritted his teeth and said tremblingly:

"No...it's not wrong, I've checked it six times just now..."

"Bang!" Zhou Liang smashed the table, took a few breaths, sat on the chair, closed his eyes and raised his head, his mind was extremely chaotic.

Why such low sales?

Why is there such a high refund rate?

Facts have proved that their crazy publicity these days is very effective, and the sales volume has reached more than 5000 copies, and the price is still not low at 188.

But what he couldn't think of was why there were such a high number of refunds?

He asked himself, there is indeed a gap between the actual quality of "Legend of the Knight" and the promotional film, but it is not so!

80% money back ratio, that's unheard of!

Zhou Liang stood up suddenly, stared at the staff in front of him again and asked:

"Why is there such a high refund rate?"

"Is there a problem with the operation of the game, or is there a big bug in the game? Or is this string of data just a bug, which is not so exaggerated?"

Zhou Liang's voice softened, and he tried his best to calm down the anger and fear in his heart. He felt that the data must be wrong. How could there be such a high refund rate?

Opposite him, the employee in blue was a little confused. He didn't know whether to tell Zhou Liang the fact, but this thing couldn't be evaded, so he could only tell the truth:

"Director Zhou, do you remember "Dark Soul"?"

"Dark Soul?" Zhou Liang nodded. Of course he remembered the name. Although he didn't take it to heart, he had an exclusive meeting for it after all, and he had an impression.

"Could it be..."

Zhou Liang's eyes widened suddenly, and a terrible fact appeared in his mind.

The employee hesitated for a while, then continued to speak:

"Actually, the refund rate of our games was not that high. Although the buyout system was criticized by players, in the past, they would continue to play while cursing when they had no other similar games to play... ..."

Zhou Liang nodded, the fact is like this, he knows those players very well, this is also the confidence that Goose Factory dared to buy out krypton gold.

"But..." The employee took a look and said cautiously:

"We made a wrong estimate. The quality of Shimmer's "Dark Soul" is far beyond imagination. Not only is it the same type as ours at the same time and price, but the quality is far different..."

"All of our traffic has been taken away by it, and after playing "Dark Soul", those people feel that our game is not good enough, and they refunded money and gave bad reviews..."

"we lose!"

With a bang, Zhou Liang felt a thunderbolt flash in his mind, and he backed up again and again, bumping into the desk behind him.

"It's actually... it's because of "Dark Soul"?"

Zhou Liang murmured in disbelief. He had thought about many possibilities, but he hadn't thought about this one. In his impression, there were very few games that had won head-to-head with Goose Factory...

He thought it was the same this time.

"Why is it so exaggerated? Even if "Dark Soul" is indeed better than us and will seize most of the market, it will not allow us to have an 80% refund rate!!"

"Is there any other reason?"

Zhou Liang tried his best to keep himself calm, but his almost blown hair, angry flushed face, and distorted expression proved the deep anger and shock in his heart.

"Because..." The employee didn't know how to speak, but gritted his teeth and finally said:

"Because "Dark Soul" is better than you imagined, so good that you can't imagine it, "Knight Legend" is not even worthy of comparison!"

This is what he said in his heart. Although he is an employee of the goose factory, he has played "Dark Soul" just now.

At that moment, he was astonished!

He had never experienced such a real experience before. A mysterious western fantasy world spread before his eyes. As a game player, his whole body trembled with excitement.

How can "Legend of Knights" compare?

There are too many grades, how dare it?

The employees left Zhou Liang's office as if fleeing. Zhou Liang angrily smashed all kinds of things in the office to the ground, but he was still not relieved, and even became more and more angry.

Seemingly exhausted, he collapsed on the leather seat, staring blankly at the ceiling.

When "Legend of the Knight" was with Chen Mu, it cost a total of more than 120 million, which took more than a year. In the goose factory, it cost more than 800 million inside and outside.

The total is close to 1000 million.

At last……

The sales in one hour are 30!

And it's definitely one of the highest sales of any time period.

It's all over now!

The failure of "Knight Legend" not only represents the fall of a game, but also represents the end of his good days.

Goose Factory does not raise idlers, let alone waste. The reason why he lives so leisurely now, and the reason why he became the game director of the "Legend of the Knight" project team, is not because "Legend of the Knight" has been recognized by the Goose Factory?

And once he fails, he will be instantly beaten back to his original shape.

"No! It can't be like this!"

"I don't want to become the second Chen Mu!"

Zhou Liang suddenly stood up from his chair, rushed out of the office, and shouted:

"Quick, call Deputy Director Fang and the others to come over, let's have a meeting right away!!"

Chapter 47 Sao operation, tricks of the goose factory

Goose Factory Headquarters, Conference Hall.

An impromptu meeting is being held here.

Zhou Liang, Fang Xuan, and all the core developers of the Legend of the Knight project were called together urgently.

"that is the truth……"

Zhou Liang slowly recounted the news he had just learned: "The scene is completely out of control. Although I don't want to admit it, "Legend of the Knight" is indeed defeated by the shimmering "Dark Soul"..."

"You have also seen these data."

"We have to figure out a way."

Zhou Liang leaned down, put his hands on the table, and tried hard to make his expression calm, but he couldn't do it.

Opposite him, Fang Xuan, the deputy director from the goose factory, was wearing glasses, looking at the data report in his hand without blinking.
