Shi Yu nodded, followed Yi Chen out of bed, stepped on her slippers to brush her teeth and wash her face.

After washing and changing clothes, I simply made some sandwiches for breakfast.

After eating and drinking a cup of coffee, Shiyu's whole body was completely revived.

Checking the time, it was 7:[-] in the morning, half an hour before the appointed time, so Yi Chen and Shi Yu went out directly.

Going downstairs, the few people who lived here last night have also woken up. They all ate something and cleaned up.

Everyone gathered and set off directly to the destination.

After getting on the tram, Yagami looked at the phone and said: "Ye Yue is going to pick up other people and meet us at the destination. By the way, where is Ying Lili? Shiwa, have you notified her?"

Shi Yu showed her mobile phone and said: "I have already sent a message, she is up, Aunt Sayuri will drive her there, don't worry."

"That's good."

Yi Chen stood beside Shi Yu, looking at Ying Ningning and Xiao Tianchu who were sitting close to each other, their heads were biting, and whispered to Yuan Shanlun: "Sister Lun, did these two stay up late last night?" ? This combination is really rare."

Yuan Shanlun also couldn't help laughing and said: "Yes, it's really rare. The two of them stayed up late last night playing games, betting on who can clear the game. At the beginning, they were able to hit the radiation smoothly. Ning Ning is also coming from behind, and is already attacking the Hollow Knight. By the way, Mr. Yichen, after the ban was lifted last night, did you see lion-like sales?"

"Have."

Yichen took out his mobile phone with a smile on his face, found the screenshot taken last night and showed it to Yuan Shanlun, "Look, this is the number of online players on the two platforms I watched at 12:6, not the early hours of the weekend. There can be more than [-] people, and it can definitely continue to increase today.”

"Ah, that's really good news!"

Seeing this data, Yuan Shanlun said very happily, "The proportion of digital games in sales has gradually increased these years. It is indeed very good news to have such a good momentum in the first night!"

"Huh? What are you looking at?"

"I seem to have heard something about the number of people online, I want to see it too!"

Hearing the exchange between the two, several other people also gathered together, and they all saw the data from last night.

After watching it, Iijima Yuyin said unexpectedly: "It's really exaggerated data. When Fairy Tale 3 was released at the end of last year, we also checked the login status of the digital version. As a result, there were only more than 7000 at most that night. This gap Is it too big?"

Yagami Guang also sighed: "Yes, obviously we have done a lot of publicity, including magazines and other things, but the data is still not very good."

Yi Chen commented: "I also played Fairy Tale 3. Although the game is good, it still has some limitations. In order to be consistent with the previous 2 generations, you didn't make a significant breakthrough in the gameplay. The same old style, although there are some hot spots in the plot, but not many, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory. Although it is a game that can get almost eight points on the whole, no matter it is the screen, combat, system or plot, it has not always been special. outstanding."

"In other words, is it too mediocre?"

Shinoda put his arms around his arms and nodded, "In retrospect, it seems that it is indeed the case. I wanted to do everything well, but in the end because there were too many aspects to take into account, the quality of the final product was good, but there was no outstanding quality. Point, now there are no related videos or live broadcasts of the game on the Internet.”

In this regard, the previous Flying Eagle is really similar to Ubisoft. Every screen of the game can be said to be at the forefront of the industry. The scenery of the open world is very good, but in terms of the content of the open world But it was boring.The first dozen or so hours of experience can be said to be very good, but in the middle and late stages of the game, the clearing of the strongholds one by one and the similar branch plots are really uninteresting.

There is an argument on the Internet that is very vivid. Ubisoft’s open world games are typical canned games. They have a large amount of food to keep you full, and the taste is not bad, but they can only be canned food. The gap with high-quality private kitchens is still not small.

Yi Chen has played a lot of Ubisoft games, from the Might and Magic series, Prince of Persia to the later Splinter Cell, Assassin's Creed and Far Cry, basically never left behind.But after playing until now, Yi Chen can be said to love and hate Ubisoft games.

I can’t make a new one, I’ll talk about it from time to time, I really want to see what kind of new work this company that uses Tudou as a server can come up with.

But come out, just watch some game videos, and you can get a good idea of ​​how the game is played. Even if there are innovations, they are small innovations, and the general gameplay will not deviate too much.Just like God Crossing released last year, with reference to the old Ren's Zelda Breath of the Wild, a lot of decryption gameplay has been added, but it still feels very similar in the end, and it is easy to get bored.

Although Yi Chen himself is also developing games, he still looks forward to Ubisoft's breakthrough from the past and a new game that will shock the world.

However, this expectation may take a long time to be realized.

Discussing Ubisoft as a topic with everyone, the time on the tram quickly passed, and everyone came to Akihabara.

As soon as I got out of the station, I saw Hazuki Shizuku, Ming Haiyan, Mochizuki Hongye, Haizi and Ying Lili waiting not far away.Besides them, even Eriri's mother, Sayuri Sawamura, was also there.

"Good morning everyone."

Sayuri Sawamura said with a smile, "Can I be added today? I am also very interested in the release of your game!"

Yi Chen nodded: "Of course, Aunt Sayuri. Now that everyone is here, let's go."

From a distance, Yi Chen could already see someone queuing up there.

Chapter 187 Rave Reviews Now on Sale

There is a cooperative store here in Akihabara, which has the first purchase bonus of Hollow Knight.

A group of people came to Akihabara just before eight o'clock, and there were not many people at the moment. All they could see was that there were more than 20 people queuing up outside the store that hadn't opened yet.

Looking at the time, Yi Chen said: "The door opens at eight o'clock, it's almost here, let's go to line up too."

Everyone then came to the end of the line and lined up here.

Standing on tiptoe and looking at the front of the line, Aoba said in a low voice, "The door should open soon, the clerk is already there to maintain order."

Everyone else also looked at the time. It was almost 5 minutes before the door opened at eight o'clock, and it was almost time.

Sayuri Sawamura is standing beside Yi Chen and Shi Yu with her daughter.

"Yi Chen-jun, when the ban on the digital version of the game was released last night, I watched it on the live broadcast website. There are a lot of people broadcasting Hollow Knight, and the popularity of the first release is very good."

Yi Chen also nodded with a smile: "Well, I also watched it at night, and the number of online players including the backstage is also very high. After participating in the first launch event here, I will take a look again when I go back. It is estimated that the sales volume has increased again. "

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden sound in front of him, and the game store opened.

With the opening of the door, customers finally did not have to wait outside, and entered the store one after another.

The promotional TV in front of the store has been turned on at this moment, and it is playing the promotional PV of Hollow Knight.There is also a promotional poster on the side, which can be said to be very eye-catching.

Walking in, everyone came directly to the shelf of the new game, and saw rows of NS version Hollow Knights placed here.

Yi Chen took a box and looked at it, it was exactly the same as the physical version he had just received before leaving the factory.

"Sure enough, the difference is the store specials."

Looking around, Yi Chen said to everyone: "If you are not in a hurry, I think you can take a stroll in the store. I haven't been here for a while. Let's see if there is anything I can buy."

After picking up the game, Shinoda Chu said excitedly: "I can't do it, I have to go to another place to buy it after buying it, and the special codes of other stores are still waiting for me!"

Aoba on the side also said: "That's right, there are other store specials! I want to buy it too!"

"I am me too!"

Ying Ningning also raised her hand.

One by one, the obsession with store specials is very deep.

So Yi Chen said to them: "Okay then, go straight after you buy it, remember to come back to the studio before noon, we will cook."

"no problem!"

"What's there to eat today?"

Yi Chen thought for a while and said, "It's quite cold today, why don't we make chicken soup and then do something else."

"Oh!! Chicken soup!" Aoba's eyes lit up all of a sudden, "I like chicken soup very much, I will definitely come back at noon! Let's go, Ningning, let's go early and return early!"

Ying Ningning, who was dragged away by Qingye, said in surprise: "Oh~~~Qingye, when did you become a foodie? If you keep eating like this, be careful not to get fat!"

"No way, I have the attribute of not getting fat!"

After making a fuss, the two of them and Shinoda Chu went to the cashier together and went to pay.

Yi Chen took the game of Hollow Knight and watched it here with Shi Yu, and really bought a reset version of Zero: The Witch of the Crow.Yi Chen has played this game before, but it has been a long time. It is still very interesting for beautiful girls to take pictures to exorcise ghosts. You can buy it and play it again.

For other games, there is nothing to buy, either already has it, or there is no need to buy it to play.

Turning around, Yichen found Sayuri Sawamura and Eriri coming over, and Eriri also took a copy of the reset version.

"I've been playing Hollow Knight for the past few days, and I forgot to buy this game. I can just make up for it today." Taking the game, Ying Lili said, "Are you all right? Everyone else has already paid for it."

Yi Chen nodded: "I got it, that's the only one I want to buy, let's go there."

The four came to the cash register and found that many customers were queuing up, all holding Hollow Knight game cassettes in their hands, and the people who came together were waiting for the checkout while chatting about the content of the game in anticipation, saying Thinking that I have to clear the customs directly in the past few days on the weekend.

After hearing this, Yi Chen and Shi Yu looked at each other, everything was kept silent.

Want to see and clear the customs for the first time in two days?Is the difficulty of the game that Zhengyi Chen made so low?

Although most people can play the trial version easily, there is still a big gap with the official version. Yi Chen is not the kind of fledgling game producer who makes the game too simple just to please the players. It will definitely make most players feel challenged in the process of strategy.

After standing in line for seven or eight minutes, it was finally Yi Chen's turn.

After paying the money, the clerk took out a special shopping bag for the shop and put the game in it, then took out a pendant of the first launch bonus, put them into the bag and handed them to Yi Chen.

"Thank you for your patronage!"

After receiving the things, Yi Chen and Shi Yu left together, followed by Eiri Ri and Sawamura Sayuri, and came out to meet everyone after paying the money.

Opening the bag, Yi Chen took out the special code inside, the pendant is printed on the main character, of course, the appearance is still very clear, and the quality is good.

Although it's just a pendant, it's enough as a shop bonus.

Putting the pendant back, Yi Chen looked at everyone and said, "So, do you want to go shopping in Akihabara next? Many shops are not open yet."

The store for buying games opened relatively early, otherwise, Yi Chen really wanted to go to a second-hand shop or a handicraft shop.

Ying Lili, who wore work glasses instead of contact lenses today, yawned and said, "No, I'm going back to catch up on sleep. I was so excited last night that I didn't sleep well."

"Aren't you going to the studio with us? We plan to have lunch at noon."

"No."

Speaking of this, Ying Lili showed a little depression on her face, "I have to go to class after I catch up on sleep."

"kindness?"

Yi Chen looked at Sayuri Sawamura unexpectedly.

The wife covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Ying Lili is not as good as Mr. Yi Chen and you and Shi Yu. It is the limit to ask her to take a leave of absence today. She must go to school for me later. Next, I wish Yi Chen Your studio’s sales of new games are increasing steadily, let’s go back first~~”

Then, she left with a depressed Ying Lili.

There was nothing else to do, so Yi Chen and the others went back to the studio directly.

As soon as they came back and turned on the computer, Yagami and the others boarded the game forum in Japan and found a discussion about the new release of Hollow Knight.

As for Yi Chen's words, he opened the store page of the steam country.

Overnight, Hollow Knight's comments suddenly increased, breaking through [-], and the game's evaluation smoothly maintained at rave reviews.

Among the more than 500 comments, the praise has reached 90.00% five!

Chapter 188 Breaking [-]

"Yeah, there is no bug feedback. It seems that there are no major problems. The first day is going well."

After reading the comments in the national area, Yichen read the comments in several other areas. The current evaluations are all positive, and no one has found bugs in the game.

The price is not expensive, the game is complete, the painting style is unique and exquisite, the content is sufficient, and the sense of attack that an action game should have is also well done. It is really hard to find any faults.

If I have to pick a fault, it is that this game is a 2D Galaxy Castlevania action game, and the game type is indeed very retro.

Retro does not mean that it is not fun, as long as the game mechanism is well done, it is still very popular. Even if it is a turn-based game, some turn-based rpgs of small grade will appear from time to time. Even if the sales are not high, the evaluation is still very good of.

When Yi Chen was reading the comments, he called other people in the studio over, and everyone browsed the comments together.

For game developers, after the game is finished and released, the evaluation of players is the most gratifying thing for them.

Of course, sales are also one of them. Good sales mean that they can have enough funds to develop the next new game.

"Global sales on the first day... almost exceeded [-]!"

Looking at the ever-increasing sales data in the background, Iori Yagami was full of surprise, "Is it so easy for the sales of the game to rise now?"

Yi Chen looked at the sales volume in each region of Steam, and said with a face as expected: "The big head is on Huaxia's side, and the sales volume in Huaxia country has already reached [-]. If we can have this sales volume, it seems that we will be in Cologne, and there will be Putting a little advertisement on YouTube is useful.”

With sufficient funds at hand, Yi Chen would of course consider placing advertisements. Although the amount is not large, the effect seems to be good.In addition to the national region, sales in other regions are also rising steadily.

Opened Station B, and opened several foreign live broadcast websites, and sure enough, I saw many anchors who were live broadcasting Hollow Knight.

The popularity of the new game is not in vain.

Those anchors who participated in the pre-release live broadcast on station B continued to broadcast after a few mornings. They seemed to be familiar with the gameplay of the game, and the progress was very good.

After watching for a while, Yi Chen stood up and gave up his seats to everyone.

"Okay, let's watch it first. I'm going to buy ingredients for lunch. What do you want to eat? The game is released today. You are allowed to say what you want to eat. If I say it, I will report the one I said earlier. Chicken soup."

"I want to eat fish!"

"I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs!"

"I want braised pork!"

"Meat! Just meat!"

This is Mochizuki Hongye, even if you don’t look at Yi Chen, you know she said it, the biggest foodie of all, and she especially likes to eat meat.

"Me, me, me! I want dessert! Can puffs be okay?"
