I play games in Zongman World

"Where is this hidden, why didn't I see it?"

Under the flurry of hands and feet at the beginning of Shinoda, he quickly confessed his life and returned to the resurrection point.

Looking at the revived character, Shinoda Chu felt a little pain in his head.

"Yeah~~ It's not good, this is a live broadcast."

I glanced at the barrage list on the screen next to me, and I saw a lot of joyful barrage.

"Ahh! If you are not reconciled, continue!"

Controlling the protagonist, Shinoda started the second round of strategy.

Yi Chen on the side was of course very happy to see this situation. After Shinoda Chu successfully passed the place where he died just now, he said: "You don't have to worry too much about being defeated by monsters in the game and returning to the resurrection point." Care, one of the cores of this game is to provide players with countless opportunities for trial and error in the matter of failure. It is not terrible to fail once, just come to the place where you failed before and challenge again, and the losses from previous failures Everything can be retrieved.”

Going forward non-stop, Shinoda Chu defeated monsters one by one. Small monsters were not too difficult for her as long as she was serious, but she still died once when facing elite monsters, and had to start from the resurrection point Do it all over again.

Yi Chen didn't give Shinoda any hints from the beginning to the end, but simply explained the monsters encountered in the game and the mechanism of the game.

Finally, half an hour later, Shinoda came to the boss area of ​​the ancient basin, and saw the broken container of the boss here.

As soon as the boss battle started, Shinoda felt something was wrong.

"Wait, why is the boss's action different from what I designed? Mr. Yichen, have you changed it? Why don't I know?!"

Yi Chen on the side smiled and said: "I told you everything, so after you make the game, won't it be very boring when you play by yourself? You know all the moves of the enemy. So the moves of the bosses you made, I am very happy." Some of them have been modified so that even you, the designer, will have a different experience when playing. Ah, here we come.”

As soon as Yi Chen finished speaking, the boss jumped up and sprinted over the protagonist, an orange, jelly-like bug condensed above the protagonist, and fell towards the top of the head.

Fortunately, Shinoda Chu had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he dealt with the summoned little thing with one attack upwards.

Immediately afterwards, the boss jumped up again, drew out the weapon behind his back and followed directly above the protagonist, and quickly made a stab downward, hitting the protagonist.

"Hey!! I was hit, why do you still have a little lock?!"

After persisting for 2 minutes and using up the energy of recovering blood, Shinoda Chu finally died again and returned to the resurrection point.

Although she hit the boss many times during this period, it was obviously not enough to kill it.

After telling the barrage about the boss's position in the process, Yi Chen looked at Shinoda Chu: "How about it, do you want to do it again?"

"Again!"

Shouting, Shinoda Chu set off again.

This time, the audience finally understood what Yi Chen said before.

On the way to the boss level, Shinoda has already memorized the path and the monsters he will encounter on the way, and solved all the dodging and attacking with ease, without losing a drop of blood, and came to the boss level.

Originally, there was a setting, that is, where the soul is lost after death, there will be a black self, and the dropped soul can only be retrieved after defeating it.

But because this type of game appeared for the first time, Yi Chen did not add it in the first time. He planned to wait for the game to be released for a period of time, and then add some settings and gameplay in an updated form.

Yi Chen doesn't plan to leave the game of Hollow Knight behind after it's released. He also plans to add a lot of post-clearance gameplay. He has many ideas.

Chapter 182 The live broadcast is over, the upcoming release date

Shinoda Chu's game skills are very good. After three consecutive failures, he finally successfully defeated the boss Broken Container.

"Phew!! Finally fought!"

Putting down the handle, Shinoda Chu heaved a sigh of relief, looked at the barrage and said, "Hmph, I told you I'm sure I can beat it, right? How dare you people doubt me!"

The barrage is also very good at catering, and there are a wave of praise barrages.

Returning the game to the main menu interface, Yi Chen started the last stage of today's live broadcast, answering some questions from the audience about the game.

"How long is the clearance time of the game?"

After seeing this question, Yi Chen thought for a while and said, "Everyone can rest assured that you can play the game for more than [-] hours a week, and there is basically no problem. And if you want to collect all the games in the game, It will take longer. Then, after clearing the content, we will update some of the gameplay after the game is released to ensure that players have the motivation to play.”

As for what content will be updated in the future, Yi Chen did not say, there would be no sense of mystery if it was released in advance.

Then, he saw another SC question and asked when the studio planned to start the development of new games.

At the side, Shinoda Chu was tired from playing the game, so he didn't plan to answer the questions right now, and had already eaten snacks. After thinking for a while, Yi Chen said, "As for the new project, I've actually already decided on it. But the official start of development If it’s not yet time, we’ll finish making the update patch for the first day of the game in the next few days. After the game is released, our studio will have a small vacation, and we should be able to start when we come back.”

After answering two more questions, Yi Chen planned to end today's live broadcast.

"Okay, we have been live broadcasting for more than an hour, and the time is almost up, let's stop here today. Wait a minute, I will conduct a lottery draw in the feed, draw 10 Steam Hollow Knight activation codes, and 10 copies of NS The physical version of Hollow Knight. The lottery will be drawn two days before the release, and then the winning friends will be notified one by one. If you are interested, remember to participate. OK, see you next time in the live broadcast.”

Shinoda at the side smiled and waved: "See you next time!"

After turning off the live broadcast, Yi Chen moved his body, looked at Xiao Tianchu and said, "Miss Chu, you have worked hard today."

"It's okay, the live broadcast is also very interesting, and I only need to play games, and I don't have a lot of interaction with the barrage."

Shinoda rubbed his neck at the beginning, and said with a smile, "But this is still very happy, so I just play games and talk, and I can get bonuses, so I can buy new models again!"

The purpose of Xiao Tianchu's willingness to participate in the live broadcast is obvious, just to get more bonuses.

Work is among all the people, and she is the only moonlight family. Most of her monthly salary is spent on games and peripherals.Yi Chen has seen photos of the apartment where she lives, and there is a display cabinet in the room, full of various models and hands-on.

Although Yi Chen himself has quite a few collections, they are nothing compared to those of Shinoda Chu.

Looking at Xiao Tianchu's happy face, Yi Chen couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, the bonus is indispensable to you. There will be similar live broadcasts in the future, and you can continue to participate."

At this time, the people on the other side who gathered together to watch the live broadcast also returned here.

Qing Ye leaned over curiously, looked at the backstage of the live broadcast on the screen and said: "Mr. Yi Chen, I just saw that I received a lot of gifts and made a lot of money?"

"No, for live streaming, the platform will take a commission, so don't worry too much about the income."

Yi Chen glanced at the data in the backstage, the gift money was actually not that much, it was only nearly 2000 yuan in total.After all, he is just a live broadcast of the game development studio, not a professional game anchor.

Yashen Guang came over, looked at the data and said in surprise: "Oh! But this is already a lot, after all, we only broadcast live once in a while, so people will come to support us, it seems that the attention is still good."

"Okay."

Turning off the background of the live broadcast, Yi Chen opened his account, intending to post a news about the lottery draw, and said at the same time: "Sister Ye Yue, there will be a live broadcast on YouTube tomorrow night, so you can come with me then."

Hazuki Shizuku naturally has no problem, and agreed with a smile: "It's ok, but don't you consider letting Xiaoguang go?"

"Miss Guang?"

Glancing at Guang Yagami who had already hid behind Yuan Shanlun, he shrugged, "Let's forget it, with Sister Guang's character, I can't participate in the live broadcast for the time being, and asking her to record a video is already the limit."

Yagami Guang with half of his head exposed was a little annoyed when he heard Yi Chen's words, but at the same time he couldn't refute, so he could only stare at Yi Chen from a distance.

Yuan Shanlun looked at his friend behind him, smiled and whispered, "Xiaoguang, I really need to exercise!"

"Why do you even say that..."

Hikaru Yagami frowned and raised his hand to grab his blond hair, "Let me think about it again, I'm really not used to appearing in miscellaneous cameras."

The live broadcast ended, and it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, Yi Chen directly asked everyone to go home and rest.Don't come tomorrow morning, if you are interested in the live broadcast in the evening, you can come by yourself in the afternoon.

After everyone left, Yashen Guang, who was afraid that Yi Chen would tell him about the live broadcast, directly pushed Yi Chen and Shi Yu out of the studio.

After hearing Yashen Guang say goodnight and seeing the door close with a bang, Yi Chen was stunned for a moment, and asked Shi Yu, "Did she forget that I have the key?"

Shi Yu couldn't hold back her laughter at this moment, she took Yi Chen's arm and said, "It seems that she is really afraid of you pulling young men, so she asked her to participate in the live broadcast."

"Hey, what's the use of hiding, won't you still come here tomorrow?"

Shaking his head, Yi Chen didn't expect Yashen Guang to have such a childish side.

"Let's go, go back."

.........

The release date of the game is getting closer and closer, but there is not much tension in the studio.

Yi Chen had already made complete preparations, and together with Ton Shan Lun and Ha Yue Shizuku, made the development cycle table extremely detailed, freeing up a lot of time to deal with emergencies.

In ten days, all the detected bugs were fixed, and the first-day patch was made, and everything was finally ready.

On Monday night, Yi Chen, who had dinner, was sitting at his work station in the studio, but he didn't have a job. Instead, he was holding a controller and leisurely playing with the already-released Machine War 30.

The others are similar, some are chatting, some are watching dramas, and some are playing games. Anyway, there is nothing that requires them to be busy.

This is the first time they all felt the torment of waiting for the release date of their new game.

Chapter 183 The pre-sale situation is gratifying

Holding the steering wheel and playing Forza Horizon 5 which was just released for a while, Shinoda hit the pause button, leaned back on the chair and said, "It's so hard, there are three days before the game's release, and we used to stay up all night and work overtime to fix bugs at this time. .”

What Xiao Tianchu said directly caused Haizi to reflex. He rubbed his neck and said, "In the last few days of Fairy Tale 3, I didn't have a good night's sleep. I drank several bottles of energy drinks every night. Those days were really hard."

The others nodded in agreement.

Sipping hot black tea, Hazuki Shizuku said with a smile: "Now it seems that it is indeed an extremely correct decision for everyone to join Yi Chenjun's studio together. The efficiency of development has not decreased, and at the same time, there is no such serious overtime. Even It's overtime, and it's just a busy job once in a while, and it's not too tiring at all. If I go to another company, I really can't imagine it."

You know, even for those large game development companies, overtime is the norm, even in Europe and the United States.

Overtime limit?It doesn't exist, there are so many things in the project, right, how could it be possible to let you go home from get off work?

The Killing Spire independently developed by Yichen provided sufficient funds for the first phase of the studio's operations. Everyone's wages have not dropped much compared to before, and even afternoon tea and snacks at other times have not been interrupted. Pass.Aoba complained more than once, saying that after joining the studio, she was not too tired from work, and she was about to gain weight.

In the case of the kitchen, and with Yi Chen's suggestion, everyone will start a business here from time to time, and the food is much better than eating in restaurants outside or ordering takeaway.

Now that the weather is getting colder, Yi Chen also asked for some soup recipes from his mother, and plans to try it next.

It's autumn, it's time to change something to eat and get fat.

Beef and mutton, radish, lotus root, and spinach are all suitable.

After thinking about it, Yi Chen decided to go to the supermarket when he came back from get off work tomorrow and buy some mutton.

Stewed radish with mutton, I haven't eaten it for a long time, I'm hungry.

After completing a level of machine warfare, Yi Chen saved the game, took a screenshot, then exited the game and opened the browser, logged in to station B and posted a post with the picture.

[The first-day patch of the game has been completed, and I can finally rest and play the new game.The results of the previous dynamic lottery draw will be announced on Wednesday, everyone remember to check how lucky you are. 】

After posting this post, Yi Chen looked at the lottery draw, and there were already 20 retweets below.

At the moment, the number of followers of the studio account on Station B has reached 30, which is growing very fast. Part of it is because Station B posted the video on the homepage several times and gained a lot of attention.

Moreover, station B also contacted me, saying that they hoped that on the night of the game's release, some anchors from the game area would come to an event to provide heat for the game.

In any case, it is also a game that has been at the Cologne Game Show. The trial activities at the game show, Hollow Knight also received a lot of praise, and it can be said that it is highly anticipated in China.

Of course, Yi Chen didn't refuse this, and directly gave ten game activation codes, and asked station B to send them to the anchors of the game area who participated in the first live broadcast event, and the live broadcast began in advance at 10 o'clock on Thursday night.

It's only two in advance, and the daily server of NS can be unlocked in advance at 11:[-] p.m. in Huaxia, and there is not much difference.

After watching station B and opening the background of Steam, the pre-sale of Hollow Knight is also very good. There are already more than [-] pre-sales in the country, and [-] pre-sales worldwide.

NS is also good. The digital version has more than [-] pre-orders, and the pre-orders in Japanese physical stores are also in full swing. The number of pre-orders is surprisingly good.It is estimated that on the day of the release, offline stores will also line up.

When it came time to talk about the release date, Aoba looked at everyone and asked, "On the release date, shall we go and see it offline?"

Yagami recalled the situation on the first day of Pokémon Story 3 before, thinking about it and said: "Well~~ You can go and have a look, but don't expect every store to be full of people. If you want to reach that level, I think you can wait for Persona It’s even more possible when the recording is on sale.”

In any case, the studio's current reputation has not yet reached a certain level, and further accumulation is needed.

Shinoda raised her hand happily: "It doesn't matter how many people are in line, the main thing is to go offline to see the games that were displayed in the store on the day of the launch, that's the most important thing! And didn't Miss Ye Yue say something? Stores that cooperate closely with Nintendo will put up some promotional posters, and the TVs in the store will also broadcast the PV of the game, which should attract some people!"

Finally, everyone looked at Yi Chen.

As the boss, Yi Chen also directly made a decision: "Okay, then let's go to the scene on Friday morning. I am really looking forward to this kind of scene."

At [-]:[-] in the evening, Yi Chen and Shi Yu returned home.

After taking a shower, the two of them had already finished their homework for today's study, so they lay comfortably on the bed, each holding a tablet to watch.

While searching for the video she was interested in, Shi Yu asked, "Mr. Chen, if you want to watch it live on Friday, you will have to ask for leave again."

"Well, it's okay. After all, I have already said by Mr. Hiratsuka that I may ask for leave in the final stage of game development." Nodding, Yi Chen opened the latest comic of One Piece and said, "Shi Yu And you, would you like to come with me on Friday?"

"Of course I'm going."

Shi Yu narrowed her eyes and looked at Yi Chen, raised her hand to poke his cheek, "How could it be possible for you to go out with a group of girls so comfortably?"

"So you were worried about this?"

"Don't worry, but I know very well, Mr. Chen, you will definitely be very happy in your heart. After all, you are surrounded by a large group of beautiful girls. Unless you are gay, your mood cannot be without fluctuations."

Shi Yu said with a smile: "Everyone's previous reactions reminded me of what happened when my novel was first released. Before the release, I was uneasy. Then after the release, I went around the bookstore to observe the situation, and I also met you, Mr. Chen."

"That's true."

Yi Chen also remembered that he met Shi Yu who was observing the release of novels outside that day, and he went to buy the first volume of Love Metronome, and asked Shi Yu to sign for him.

"However, I'm not worried about the release of the game. The pre-sale of the digital version is already here, and the sales will gradually increase with the release of the game. The sales volume of Killing Spire has exceeded 80 during this period. At the end of the year If I offer a discount, there should be another increase in sales, and there is no need to feel bad about giving everyone bonuses at the end of the year."

It will be a matter of time before Slaughter Spire breaks through one million sales. I just don’t know whether Slaughter Spire will reach the million sales first, or Hollow Knight will come first.
