Basically, the majority of game industry practitioners are enthusiasts.

Seeing the unprecedented interesting gameplay in their hands, everyone felt as if they had been hit with a bloodthirsty buff and became excited.

In addition, several games are relatively simple in program.

It can be said that with the art materials, the initial version is almost complete.

More than 30 programs, working overtime

《"Werewolf PC version" completed in one week

《"Famine" fifteen days, one week to eliminate bugs

《Two weeks of"Ring the World" and one week of troubleshooting

《"Stardew Valley" for two weeks, the debugging time was very short, only 3 days

《Auto Chess" a little over three weeks.

The novel game modes that have never been seen before make testers unconsciously addicted to the game.

The irritating late-night test in the past has passed in the blink of an eye, and I still have more to play and want to play.

"Finally survived the third wave of attacks"

"Is it already dawn? I don't feel it at all"

"These games are really interesting and will definitely become a hit!"

"I also have this feeling"

"Submit the bug, catch up on some sleep and continue playing!"

After the game test, Zhou Tong began to invest in publicity work.

These days, advertising is not as expensive as in later generations.

Zhou Tong plans to release several games at the same time, with built-in advertising spaces for each other, to promote each other.

Free stand-alone games will lead the way and expand publicity. effect

…………

In September, several stand-alone games spread virally on social networks, major post bars, and even pirated game websites.

《"Don't Starve","Ring the World" and"Stardew Valley" dominate the search engine hot search list.

Many primary school students know these games.

Zhou Tong's nephew is one of them.

The little guy took advantage of the fact that his parents were away on the weekend and secretly played Don’t Starve.

The weird world, the survival and construction gameplay, and the invisible monsters all fascinated him.

So much so that he didn’t even know he was discovered

"OK, Zhou Qimo, you are playing games again!"

Hearing the voice behind him, the little guy was startled. Fortunately, he turned around and found that it was his sister.

However, just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, his sister's next words made him feel his heart in his throat again.

"Okay, I need to use the computer for a while, so stop playing."

Zhou Qimo immediately felt aggrieved:"Why, I just played and finally survived until autumn."

Sister Zhou Han narrowed her eyes and threatened him:"My parents will be back soon and they find that the computer case is hot. Do you know what the consequences will be?"

When Zhou Qimo heard this, he stopped talking.

Zhou Han raised the corners of his mouth and said condescendingly,"Sister, I'm doing this for your own good. Otherwise, if you continue to play, your parents will spank you. On the contrary, if I sit here, my parents will I don’t know that you have played the game. Now you go to play with your friends. When you come back in the evening, you can continue to watch TV."

"Oh well"

"Don't you want to thank me?"

"Thank you sister."

Seeing his younger brother go out stupidly, Zhou Han showed a werewolf smile.

"I'm really sorry, my parents didn't come back until tonight. Hey, have fun with your playmates."

As she spoke, she skillfully opened the hidden file, clicked Werewolf.exe, and Wolf King Zhou Han logged into the game!

In just half a month, a powerful disruptor suddenly appeared in the originally peaceful game market.

Five games were made at the same time. A unique game.

It has turned the game market that originally focused on killing monsters and upgrading upside down.

The owner of the pig farm held an emergency meeting to discuss whether a new trend is taking shape.

"These types of games have never been seen on the market before"

"Sandbox construction has great plasticity. If an online mode is developed, it may occupy the ecological niche of online games."

"Social voice games are very targeted for teenagers and young people aged 13 or above but 30 or above. They can even develop offline and become a dating platform. This may be helpful for us to supplement the social sector and cope with the pressure of Goose Factory."

"Auto Chess looks like a 3D version of Magic: The Gathering, or Yu-Gi-Oh!, but it does not require detailed operations, and it has a very good inspiration for the field of casual games."

Goose Factory, the alert little brother Ma gave instructions very simply to follow suit.

"Give me all three ways to play. I want to see competing products in 30 days!"

The former king Shengda found new opportunities, and withdrew from the disappointing"Dragon Nest". While setting up a studio to prepare for the development of social games, he also issued an invitation to invest in cooperation. Amid the shock, these large game companies did not know.

They The small studios in his eyes did not take them seriously.

Zhou Tong ignored the so-called cooperation and investment.

Yuemian Studio.

Programming, planning, and art were all immersed in joy.

The game was a big hit, but it was still good. A new type of game is definitely not an online game produced by local tycoons who spend money to torture ordinary people to show off.

Not only have they accumulated qualifications, but they also have the bonuses promised by the boss.

How can you not be happy?

Under the excited eyes, Zhou Tong received his first Monthly data.

The total number of downloads of all games exceeds 10 million

《"Werewolf" payment rate is 5%, profit is 2.3 million

《"Don't Starve" in-app purchase character profession, producer wife (magic modification) sold 200,000 copies, making a profit of 18 million

《Auto Chess" card pack, 50,000 sets of player skills sold, profit of more than 2 million

《Although"Stardew Valley" and"Ringworld" are free of charge, their publicity effect is immeasurable, and the next step can be to rely on game platforms.

Because it is a viral marketing model, the cost of publicity and distribution is not high.

22.3 million net profit is 18 million.

Next to them, members of the production team couldn't hide their excitement when they saw the report.

"Monthly profit of 18 million, 200 million a year?"

"This is only the first month, and the potential has not yet been tapped. It will increase in the future."

"Such a fun game is actually made by me, I am really good!"

"According to the contract, the performance bonus has accumulated to one million"

"Divided evenly...the year-end bonus is 120,000?"

……

Excited voices floated past his ears, but Zhou Tong remained expressionless, thinking to himself:

200 million yuan should be enough to start scientific research.

Playing games is fun though.

But compared with black technology, it is still far behind

‘Time cannot be wasted and must be used to improve technology. '

Thinking about this, Zhou Tong unexpectedly said

"Now that we are on the right track, we will leave the studio operations to you."

"The producer is Cheng Wangdong, and Zhang Cheng is transferred to the head of the operations department and studio manager. I will send someone from the head office to take charge of the finance. Don’t pay bonuses on an annual basis. After offsetting costs, pay them on a monthly basis.

Also, this is a game to do later."

Everyone in the project team took over the plan in confusion, and saw that the titles of the three plans were respectively moba game, two-dimensional krypton gold game, and chicken battle royale. The game market is about to usher in the next wave of bloodshed.
