Let you make games, you directly shoot blockbusters?

Chapter 8 So I'm So Awesome!
"Kill the Spire" is on fire.

Under the word of mouth of the players, more than 6 copies were sold in just one day, and the momentum is even faster than "Braveheart".

All of a sudden, Chen Lin's wealth increased by 10,000+.

And because of the novel gameplay, relaxed and casual, diverse and non-repetitive features, it attracts a large number of players into the pit, and various strategy discussion posts emerge in endlessly.

Even on the major short video websites, there are all kinds of coquettish routine sharing (showing off), which quickly set off a wave of comparisons.

"Boss, something serious has happened! Come and see!"

In the dawn studio.

As soon as Lao Song entered the door early in the morning, a bald programmer greeted him with a tablet computer, his eyes widened.

"What's the matter, screaming here, did the code you wrote yesterday crash again?"

Lao Song frowned, this guy usually looks quite quiet, why did he suddenly become so frizzy today.

"No, it's a game, the game we made before became popular!"

The programmer gasped and spoke intermittently, with a flush of excitement on his face.

Their game is on fire?
Hearing this, Lao Song didn't react for a while.

If he remembers correctly, they have only released a few audio games and racing games before.

Although he has made some money, it is still far from being popular.

Is it lucky to catch some mainstream popularity?
Thinking of this, he couldn't calm down anymore, and quickly asked, "Which one is it? Has the game we released before become popular?"

"No, it was the Slaying Spire that we outsourced some time ago! The sales volume exploded on the first day of release! It even broke into the daily sales list!"

"What did you say?!"

Lao Song's heart shook suddenly.

Isn't Killing the Spire the game that Chen Lin outsourced to them?

When he sent the game files, he also said that no one has ever made this type of game, and he may have to be mentally prepared for the bad response.

But now tell him.

That game is on fire!

"Where is it? Let me see!"

Walking into the studio, Lao Song hurriedly came to the computer, clicked on the steam platform under the programmer's operation, and after a while, the game homepage of "Slaying the Spire" came into view.

【Game: Slay the Spire】

[Genre: Card Building, Turn Battle, Strategy, Rogue]

[Introduction: Inside and outside the tower, there are cursed people. Their souls are imprisoned in the tower. Only by climbing the Tower of Babel leading to heaven can they find themselves. 】

[Price: 50 yuan]

[Evaluation: Rave reviews]

At the bottom of the homepage, there are all positive reviews.

What shocked Lao Song even more was that this game was actually on the daily sales list.

Break into the top ten with an extremely strong posture!

As the boss of the game studio, he is very aware of how high the gold content of this list is, which is calculated based on real-time sales.

Let alone the top ten.

Even in the top [-], none of the games they released have even been touched once!
"Is this really the game we made?"

Lao Song swallowed his saliva, only feeling dry mouth.

The other employees who received the news also left their seats and quickly gathered around.

"No mistake, it's the game we made before! I know the cover very well!"

"And the silhouettes of those characters were all synthesized by me with graphics tools!"

"Mom, so I'm so awesome?"

No matter what everyone said, they couldn't believe that this game was actually made by their own hands.

It's like suddenly one day, someone said that the clay figurine you made is a work of art.

They don't think it's their fault.

After all, if making games could become popular so easily, they would have already jumped to those big companies.

Will you still stay in this small studio and write code?

In other words.

The fire is the game itself.

It's the gameplay and design!

Liming is just lucky to follow the light.

But even so, they were still extremely excited.

Because this is an affirmation of their abilities!
Especially in the industry, other manufacturers can easily find out which one took over the production of this game.

The popularity of "Slaying the Spire" is undoubtedly a good advertisement for Liming Studio, and you still worry about not getting a big order in the future?

You don't even have to swallow your anger anymore and pick up the leftover junk from those big companies!

"Because you are so beautiful~"

At this time, a mobile phone rang suddenly, waking up the astonished Lao Song.

Pick it up and take a look.

It is the studio that helped him make this game together before, and he is also one of the few friends of his in the industry.

"Old Song, you are being a little unkind. Such a potential game outsourcing actually told me that it was a private order. Do you look down on my brother?"

A voice full of accusations came from the other end of the phone.

"I didn't lie to you, this is really a private order."

Lao Song hasn't recovered from the shock until now, and he is in a state of bewilderment.

"You said you didn't lie to me, can a private person produce such high-quality CG? And they can produce so many at one time. To be honest, is this the order you received from those big factories?"

"Uh"

Lao Song opened his mouth, glanced at the promotional page of "Slaying the Spire", and didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

After a long silence, he finally told the whole story.

After listening to the other side, there was a sound of inhalation.

"It's not easy to achieve this level of private orders. Remember to recommend me another day. If you have similar outsourcing, don't be polite to me. I will call more people to help."

"Okay, hang up first, I still have a lot of things to deal with here."

After hanging up the phone, Old Song let out a sigh of relief. He never thought that this old friend would receive the news so soon.

After thinking for a while, he picked up his phone again and called Chen Lin.

The response that can be obtained is that the line has been busy and there is no way to get through.

After trying several times to no avail, I had to give up temporarily.

the other side.

Star Tours headquarters.

"Director, this week's game list is out."

An employee came to the office with a document in hand.

He is a person who specializes in market research, so as soon as the list is updated, he immediately organizes a copy of the information and submits it.

"Well, well done."

Yang Liang took the information, flipped through it and asked, "How is the sales of the game we released earlier?"

"This. The response doesn't seem to be very good. It just barely made it to the bottom of the daily sales list." The employee said cautiously.

"end?"

Yang Liang paused, frowned and raised his head: "This game is our main product. Not only did we invest a lot of manpower and material resources, but it also took nearly a year, and this is the only result? What is the promotion department doing! "

boom!
The materials were re-photographed on the table.

The sound spread through the walls throughout the office area, making all the employees startled, and they shrank their heads and dared not stand up.

To know.

That game is their company's top project this year.

In addition to the large-scale production and costing over [-] million yuan mentioned in the promotion, it also invited the popular little fresh meat to be the endorsement of the advertisement, which can be said to be full of confidence.

Although the end of the daily sales list is good for those small companies, it is far from meeting their expectations, and they can't even make it back.

No wonder Yang Liang was so angry.

In this regard.

The people in the Propaganda Department could only sneer.

Because they know very well that most of the so-called cost of over [-] million was spent on hiring traffic stars.

With the remaining amount of money, it is considered a high-spirited game to make a game that squeezes into the daily sales list.

They even put the blame on their publicity department, and they don't want to lose face.

And this time.

Inside the office.

Suppressing his anger, Yang Liang continued to browse through the information, looking at other games on the daily sales list, hoping to find a way to rescue them.

After all, such a result, the board of directors is not easy to explain.

He had to find a way to escape.

"Huh? This is."

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the top ten of the daily sales list.

No. 5: "Killing the Spire"

Slay the Spire?
Isn't this the game Liming Studio called to ask them to help make it! ?
