Game production: I really have landed

Chapter 176 The game behind the two games

Potato Brothers is not like those games on the market that require all your time and energy once you get started.

It is more like a condiment, just like a short video, it can occupy your fragmented time all the time, so that you can have a hand when you are bored.

But it is very similar to short videos in that it is easy for you to stop after playing.

Mingming felt that he had only played a few times, but time slipped away like water.

And on the surface, this game is the kind of unparalleled lawn mowing game, but after you really play it, you will find that this game still has some difficulties.

If you blindly devote all your resources to the attack, you will easily be killed by monsters because of the low fault tolerance rate.

When you put all your resources into defense, you will fall into a strange tide because you can't move the monsters.

You may be able to survive one wave or two, but not being able to kill enough monsters means that your resource acquisition will also be reduced, and the subsequent development cannot keep up with the intensity of the monsters and you will die suddenly.

But does distributing bonus points evenly make every game mediocre?

Of course not.

Among the Potato Brothers, the differences between the different characters are quite huge.

As a ranger you cannot equip melee weapons.

When you play Pacifist, all you need to do is pile all the attributes on life, and then swim in the monster pile.

There are also engineers, capable of making turrets.

Coupled with the high randomness of the meat pigeon game itself, coupled with a sufficient number of props and weapons, this has led to many times when you cannot perfectly brush the weapons and props you need.

During this process, the core "choice" of the meat pigeon game surfaced.

Whether your choice is good or not determines whether you can pass this game smoothly.

In addition, the influencing factor that determines whether a meat pigeon game is fun enough is whether it can be played enough after the construction is completed.

This point will not be missing among the potato brothers.

Who knows how it feels to clear the screen when playing Mechanic Six with a nuclear bomb launcher, and the performance of Lucky Star picking up a prop and full-screen dead light is also extremely cool.

Some replies in the steam evaluation area can be said to be quite vivid:

"You can hold wasd with one hand and hold your head OVO with the other."

"It's better than hand punching, the first batch. Changing the character is a different game, but this game has dozens of characters, and the price is just a no-brainer."

"This style of play is no problem, but I was unlucky just now, so I will come back to it next time!

There is no problem with this style of play, but the position is not good just now.One more million!
No play before bedtime! "

So, what's the use of talking so much?
Hurry up and make a quick batch of potato brothers!
In just three days.

At first, it was just a bunch of ladder streamers playing DOTA, but then it spread like a virus.

According to Chuxin's data, the group with the widest coverage of this game is actually office workers!

"When I bought this game during the holidays, I played it for 10 minutes and then put it down. When I'm at work, I have to play it for at least four or five hours a day. The feeling of fishing is so cool!"

"Haha, the idiot leader is having a meeting in front, and I'm playing Tudou Brothers down below. He thought I was taking notes seriously, and praised me severely."

"Killing time is very useful, a good and cheap game."

Compared with domestic player groups, foreign player groups actually place orders faster.

On the one hand, because of the blockage of news, they didn't know that Pu Xingyu actually made the game, and they didn't wait and see without thinking, but just saw "chuxin" and entered without thinking.

Uh... On the other hand, it is also in the light of the mirror.

Among Chuxin's current games, mirror is the cheapest, and then there is this potato brother.

Although the name seems to be a serious game, the introduction is also a serious game, and the preview is also a serious game.

But whether it is really a serious game or not, you still have to buy it and taste it.

This led to the fact that although many European and American players found out that the game was a serious game after buying it, they first scolded it, and then it became really popular.

As the week passed.

When "Shan Hai Xiu Xian Biography" has exhausted all its potential and is still hitting 30 sales, the sales of Tudou Brothers have almost exceeded 300 million.

Although small profits, but more sales ah!
Ten times the gap, the main thing is a crush.

If so, that's all.

Soon, the news of the well-known mobile game transplantation company in China, Dongxin Network and Chuxin, on the full-platform transplantation of "Tudou Brothers" from the PC side spread all over the game circle.

Everyone was stunned, and then realized.

Yes, Tudou Brothers game is actually very suitable for mobile terminals.

Although computers are very popular nowadays, the advantage of the mobile terminal lies in its convenience. This is also an important reason why the previous batch of major online game manufacturers have switched to mobile games.

This is also a real big money sucker!
Players also expressed their support:

"Although I bought Tudou Brothers on Steam, this game 22 is indeed a huge profit, and I will definitely support the mobile game."

"Seeing those videos on the short video, I have long wanted to play Tudou Brothers, but it is still inconvenient for me without a computer. Now that I have a mobile game terminal, I will definitely support it."

And as the first heart, it is the only game that blossoms on both PC and mobile terminals.

The project "Potato Brothers" can undoubtedly be said to be a great success.

All of a sudden, Pu Xingyu's name was once again mentioned by all players and game media.

This time, all voices of doubt disappeared.

"Who said that I, Brother Pu, can't do it? After spending so long with the old thief, I must have some real talents!"

"I haven't played all the games before Chuxin. They are too difficult to understand. But this time, Tudou Brothers really makes me really like it."

"We will support Pu Ge's game next time, come on!"

When everyone was admiring this new star game producer who had made his mark in the game market for the first time in a sweeping way, some good people gave Pu Xingyu the title of "Xiao Luobai".

The same debuted with a very cheap game, and the same one just swept the entire Internet when it was just released.

Everyone seems to have seen another talented game developer rising in the sky.

This kind of thing should have been a good thing, but gradually, because of some remarks, it gradually became a little bit wrong.

"Why doesn't Brother Pu break away from his original intention and work alone? If he is so talented, he can only have internal friction with Mr. Luo in his original intention, and he will have a better development when he comes out."

"In my opinion, Pu Xingyu's "Tudou Brothers" game alone is enough to prove his talent. He is no worse than Luo Bai. There is no need to succumb to others."

"You say that a piece of "Potato Brothers" can be compared to the old thief? What are you kidding? You Pu Xiaozi are almost as good as this."

"Luo Xiaozi is about the same. He brags about your master every day. There are so many game producers in this world who are better than Luo Bai. You just want to brag about being the number one in the world every day."

To be honest, Pu Xingyu originally read the good reviews of "Tudou Brothers" on the Internet secretly.

He is very happy when others praise him.

But when they saw these remarks, people became numb.

He hurried to Luo Bai's place, saying that he would contact the media to hold a press conference or something like that, and spread the word that the idea of ​​"Tudou Brothers" came from Luo Ge.

After Luo Bai heard this, he didn't react at all. He just tapped the keyboard intently, and asked Pu Xingyu a question that baffled him.

"Did you get a call from a headhunter?"

"Ah? No? Why are you asking this?"

Pu Xingyu scratched the back of his head, brainstormed for a long time, and finally figured out something,
"Brother Luo, do you mean someone wants to dig me?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

Luo Bai poked out half of his head from behind the monitor,

"Let's not talk about the mirror, when I finished Ori, the commotion was bigger than you are now, right? Why didn't you see someone on the Internet bragging about me like that?
It was nothing more than a big fight with Tianxing at that time, which was equivalent to cutting myself off from the domestic game circle, and these people didn't want to poach me.

It’s just a Tudou Brothers, the revenue is not as good as these guys, and it’s not a particularly IP-worthy work, so it’s not worth bragging about it..."

Luo Bai was only halfway through talking when Pu Xingyu's cell phone rang.

"An unfamiliar phone number from the devil's capital."

Luo Bai closed his mouth and gave Pu Xingyu a look.

Pu Xingyu also answered the call knowingly, and turned on the hands-free button.

"Oh, good afternoon President Pu, congratulations on the big sale of "Tudou Brothers"!"

"you are?"

"It's like this, Mr. Pu, our boss would like to treat you to a light meal, I don't know if it's appropriate..."

On the other end of the phone, the person was talking wildly.

Inside and outside the words, as long as Pu Xingyu is willing to go, any sea and sky feast can be arranged.

Under the hint of Luo Bai's handwriting, Pu Xingyu declined, but it was clearly revealed that he wanted to refuse but still welcome because the increase was not enough.

"There are so many people who are popular, Brother Luo."

Pu Xingyu looked at Luo Bai in front of him with a wry smile.

"Don't fix those useless things. It's better to sleep if you have time to deal with such crap. I will deal with this kind of thing, and you don't have to worry about it."

……

The two games that were released at the same time, with such a huge gap in sales, and there is still a long-standing grudge, must be pulled out by troublemakers and severely trampled.

Of course, Li Si himself doesn't care about this.

For things like Pengci's original intention, it is to win blood and earn money, and to lose should be.

Among the crazy spats of a small number of bewildered people on the Internet, the mainstream voice is quite rational.

"Both games are pretty good games. Originally, the fundamental purpose of Mr. Luo's establishment of the 'Initial Heart Seedling Project' was to support the development of domestic games.

It's really unnecessary to make trouble to this point, didn't Chuxin himself say nothing? "

"We are playing games, not game developers, so there is no need for people like Li Si to affect our mood when playing games.

I play both games. When Shanhai gets bored, I play Tudou. When Tudou is frustrated, I turn to Shanhai. There is no need to complain. "

"It's true, Li Si himself has a long memory, doesn't he?
After he was sprayed, those who were supposed to make in-app purchases did not make in-app purchases, which shows that people are still a guy who knows his mistakes and corrects them. "

Vomit.

It’s okay not to talk about in-app purchases, but when it comes to in-app purchases, everyone thinks about it.

Didn't Li Si say at the time that he wanted to make in-app purchases for the game Shan Hai Xiu Xian Chuan?Why did the game become a full buyout game after it really came out?

Now that you have changed your mind, why did you pull your original intention back then?
It is normal for the two parties to have differences on the buyout system and in-app purchases, and everything can be discussed.

From this point of view, it seemed abnormal for Li Si to directly disclose to the media that he had a disagreement with Chuxin.

If, at the beginning, only some netizens thought that this matter was not right and speculated behind their backs, the follow-up matter shocked countless netizens.

"There seems to be a capital injection from a major domestic factory behind Li Si's studio!"

"A sniper attack against Chuxin!"

"The behind-the-scenes driving force behind the failure of domestic stand-alone games!"

The people who broke the news are basically those who specialize in leaking melons on the Internet, and everyone doesn't know where they got the internal news from.

The words of these burst melons are very riddlers.

He doesn't name names, and he never mentions the key points when talking about things. Netizens just talk about him when they ask.

But there is no doubt that these spearheads are all directed at the big game manufacturers in the industry.

"This is Luo Bai's counterattack. Let's give up Li Si. The game between the two sides is almost enough."

"Okay, I will ask Li Si to start the Nascent Soul version online as soon as possible."

"By the way, how is the contact with Pu Xingyu?"

"He's more ambiguous, as if he agreed and didn't seem to agree."

"Conditions are not a problem. If you can take him down, you can undoubtedly break Luo Bai's arm, and that's enough."

……

"What?! The latest Nascent Soul version will be launched soon?

The game Shan Hai still has potential, and the current word-of-mouth is not bad, I feel that there should be no problem hitting 50 sales..."

Li Si defended dryly, and wanted to make a final struggle.

At present, the word-of-mouth of this game is still good, but if the current Nascent Soul version is really launched, it will be completely rotten.

No one wants their reputation among the players to completely turn into stinky shit.

"Li Si, the contract in black and white is here. If you don't want to lose a penny, you'd better be obedient."

Therefore, on March 3, half a month after the official release of "Shan Hai Xiu Xian Biography", the new version of the game "Hua Ying" was officially launched.

Li Si himself fulfilled the decision he had made long ago and introduced the in-app purchase system into the game.

Then... the player exploded in an instant.

"Li Si, you Moroccan fried cakes! I'm fucking your whole family!

Before the version was updated, I had one of the best constructed Longhu Golden Pills, not to mention Nascent Soul, and I could hit a dozen of them.

Now, a most trashy low-grade Nascent Soul killing me is like killing my son!
After being promoted to Nascent Soul, the attributes exploded exponentially! "

"Laughing, there are 36 main materials and 72 sub-materials in the Jieying Pill, and the refining has a terrific failure rate!
If you want to keep the materials, you can only use the lucky charms in the system mall.

Okay, okay, Li Si, you know about in-app purchases. If you uninstall the game, you can’t refund it, so I’ll give you a bad review. "

"Fixed the bug that the gap between the cultivation bases is too large to be double repaired?

Ox!Li Si, you are so awesome!

I finally know why people's original intentions are so different from yours. You have completely brought all the stink problems of those garbage games in China, right?

No, why are you?A stand-alone game with a sales volume of less than 30. You don’t have the blessing of a mobile terminal on this plate. Are you worthy of this kind of operation?
Is there really any idiot willing to play your broken game? "

"Haha, I'm an idiot, for my Taoist companion Hongying, I really poured hundreds of dollars into this game to continue my cultivation.

It turned out that after conceiving a baby, it was even more difficult to move an inch, and all the top-level exercises that could be obtained easily had now been scrapped.

If you want to become stronger, you can only rebuild and build new structures, Li Si, your family is not good 4! "

Within just two days of the incident, as the situation fermented.

The steam praise rate of the entire "Shan Hai Xiu Xian Zhuan" has changed from the original 90% of the special praise to the current 13% of the negative reviews.

Originally, there was still a downward trend.

However, the continued decline in the ratings of this game's praise has undoubtedly seriously threatened its position at the bottom of the "killing batch".

The entire Three Kingdoms Kill post bar is full of solidarity posts that promote the need to keep the lowest negative review rate of the Three Kingdoms Kill, but it has pulled up Shan Hai's positive rate a little bit.

It has become a joke among many players.

When Li Si himself saw this scene, his whole heart was bleeding, but he couldn't help it. The game had already been sold to someone else. If you want to make money, you have to look at their face.

And the thunderstorm in "Shan Hai Xiu Xian Biography" obviously also covered up the melon of the previous "sniper's original intention".

Both parties tacitly did not carry out a more in-depth exchange of underwear in this area.

Over there, he knew that what he had done was disgraceful, so there was no need to make it too ugly.

Chuxin didn't have any extra spare money to fight with these villains.

The development funds for the game "It's Two" is much more terrifying than that of Black Soul. If there were no rotten oranges to back it up in the previous life, the developers couldn't afford it.

At that time, there was a riverside villa in Shanghai.

Ma Liang, who was drinking tea with his father, swiped his phone for a while, and suddenly sneered:

"He is really expensive, and he used to wish he could make a big fuss."

Ma Bin gently sipped the tea in his cup, and looked at his son who had calmed down a lot in front of him:

"When you are weak, you are afraid of evil tricks, so you naturally want public opinion to protect yourself.

Now they are more or less enemies who are already standing on the table and can compete on the same stage. He just needs to push them over. "

The two of them tacitly did not mention who the stepping stone is, and instead began to discuss with great interest the current ip works that can be realized in large quantities from their original intentions.

"Ori, count; Dark Dungeon... almost mean, too niche; Hollow Knight, count; Wanda, Black Soul count."

Ma Bin raised his finger:
"Don't forget Mirror, that thing is selling very well overseas.

At present, it is the ip work that has attracted the most money in its original intention, but it is not known to the public. "

"Stand-alone games, you really make money."

"To make quick money, you still need mobile games and online games. There were too many people in China before, and the competition was too fierce. There was no condition to settle down and polish stand-alone games."

"now what?"

"Probably... it's a bit of a sign, let's see what kind of storm he can stir up."
