You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 8 Game Release
At six o'clock in the morning, the game was approved and released on Youyi Workshop.

Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan still came to the cat cafe to meet up.

On the cover of the game, the fat and cute hamster John is grinning with his big teeth bared. Behind him, there is a group of charming cat girls acting cute in various ways.

Although the cover is a bit awkward, the stylized cat girl is still eye-catching.

The game costs 5 yuan.

However, after the game was released, sales remained at zero until the evening.

The gaming industry is also very competitive, with tons of new games released every day. Unless you search for the game name, you won't be able to find it in the game library.

Liu Mengyuan comforted Lu Yu:
"It doesn't matter. Within 12 hours after the game passes review and is released, the Youyi platform will definitely have the first round of trial recommendations."

The game recommendations on the Youyi platform adopt a promotion mechanism.

All games that have passed the review will be placed in the first round of trial recommendations. For example, "Cat Girl Paradise Adventure" will be placed in the secondary channel sub-interface of the [Action Game] category and displayed in a scrolling manner with other games of the same period.

Although it's just a small corner, it will still be exposed a little.

Afterwards, the platform will comprehensively calculate sales, play time, user ratings and other factors to select excellent games and advance to the next round.

For new games from Youyi Workshop, the best recommendation position is [Youyi New Star], which is a homepage recommendation with very high exposure.

Of course, the recommended positions with better positions such as [Big Shot Fun], [Golden Hall], and [Annual Star] are basically not available to new producers, as they are all works of heavyweight manufacturers and star producers in the industry.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, Lu Yu finally found his own game in the scrolling recommendation position in the corner.

Almost at the same time, the system screen popped up the settlement information:
[This cycle is about to end. Current leisure points are 58.5, and are being redeemed...]

5850 yuan has been credited to my personal account.

[Congratulations on completing the extra mission of the cycle: Release your first game, and receive a random surprise effect lottery as a reward]

A large lucky draw wheel appeared on the system screen, spinning madly, and then stopped at a certain position:

[Abundant Harvest Lv1] Effect: In the next 7 days, for every game sold by Taoyuan Township Company, the system will provide an additional 5 yuan of operating funds and transfer it to the company account.

[Currently, Taoyuan Township Company's operating capital is 7500 yuan]

[The next settlement cycle is: 45 days later]

[Additional Task: Before the end of the period, release the second game produced by Taoyuanxiang Company. This game must be a multiplayer online game with no restrictions on themes.]

[Task Reward: Random Surprise Effect]

Seeing the settlement data, Lu Yu felt happy.

With his serious efforts, the income from leisure points reached a new high!

He silently calculated the cost of developing Cat Girl Paradise as follows:
The cost of food, drink and entertainment is 1500 yuan, the purchase of outsourcing and components is 1000 yuan, and Liu Mengyuan's half-month salary is 2000 yuan.

After the game is launched, it is expected to earn 2000 yuan in return.

Moreover, with the fame of the first game, we can strive to make a profit of 4000 yuan from the second game, and then we can continue to develop similar games.

The only hope is to make a profit and keep this small two-person company running, an endless cycle.

In this way, he can focus on studying how to lie down more professionally and make a lot of leisure points. Isn't that wonderful!

correct!

If I earn more leisure points in the future, can I transfer money to the company account to maintain the binding of the gold finger?

Just as this thought came to mind, the system screen lit up:

[Warm Tips: The income of the company's operating account can only come from business operations, and the host's personal funds will not be accepted.]

Lu Yu shook his head regretfully.

Seeing the Mao Zhiming bill on the table, he had another idea.

Can I pay for it with my own money? This is equivalent to reducing the company's capital expenditure in disguise.

[Friendly reminder: According to the host's company philosophy, employees' meals, drinks, and entertainment during workdays are considered activities related to game development. Therefore, all expenses must be paid through the company account, and the host's personal funds will not be accepted for reimbursement.]

Damn, it was me who was imprisoned in the circle.

But as for the relationship between sisters, there is no big problem.

Lu Yu was still happy as he looked at the fresh money in his personal account.

On the other side, Liu Mengyuan was looking at the newly refreshed Dream Mall with a confused look on his face.

[Experienced Pancake Maker]: With a good hand feel, the pancakes you make will be closer to a perfect circle that conforms to pi.

[Sharp Vision]: It can naturally locate the prizes in amusement stalls such as balloon shooting and ring tossing. [Cat Lover]: It naturally increases the attraction to cats.

……

The price is 200 proficiency points.

But, damn! What kind of weird talents are these?

What she worried about finally happened. The eating, drinking and entertainment on the pedestrian street caused her to develop a lot of strange skills, which seriously affected the refresh categories of the mall.

She picked and chose among the pile of goods and finally saw:
【Q version hand-drawing】: When drawing Q version image illustrations, the natural sense of design is increased.

Fortunately, she found some extra work for herself in the past two weeks and finally got a usable one.

I paid 200 proficiency points to purchase it, but only 10 points are left in my account.

The proficiency points are not enough. I can’t be corrupted by Lu Yu’s sugar-coated bullets anymore. I have to work harder!

After dinner, Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan chose to stay in the cat cafe to observe the sales data.

The last time Liu Mengyuan was so nervous and excited was when he participated in a competition in the Sports Research Society.

There are 12 games competing in the same period, and each game will be exposed once every 36 seconds, for 3 seconds each time.

Suddenly, a prompt sound popped up on Lu Yu’s computer, indicating that the first copy of the game had been sold.

He smiled faintly: "You bought it, right?"

"Yeah... yeah, I'll buy a copy of the game I made to show my support, what's wrong with that?"

Unexpectedly, he was found out so quickly. Liu Mengyuan turned his head away proudly.

Not only did she buy it, she also left a comment in the review area——

User ID: Xiaoyuanyuan
Comments: This game is super fun! The catgirls are adorable, and the story is heartwarming, but I can't reveal any spoilers. Everyone is welcome to download and play ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ.

After 10 minutes, someone replied: This review is too fake 5 minutes after purchase. Can your company hire more professional water army?

Liu Mengyuan didn't get annoyed and replied seriously: "I'm not a troll, I'm the artist of this game. I'm not kidding, this game is really cute and healing. The cat girls are really cute, and the mice are cute too!"

A minute later, I got a reply: "Really? I'm actually a little tempted by what you said. Well...it's only enough for a bucket of instant noodles, so I'll just buy it. If it's not fun, I'll just consider it charity."

Cumulative sales: 2
Liu Mengyuan excitedly showed the computer to Lu Yu, then held his little head, looking forward to the player's feedback.

One hour... Two hours...

She refreshed the comment section almost every minute, and she was so nervous.

The comment section remained calm.

Her eyes, which had finally brightened, dimmed again.

It was 9 o'clock in the evening. Lu Yu yawned and started to pack up his computer.

If you are late, your leisure points will be deducted.

He is not particularly concerned about sales and reviews now. After all, it has just been recommended, so it is normal to have a delay.

Anyway, as long as 400 copies are sold, it will be considered a success!
"Miss Liu, let me take you back to the dormitory."

Liu Mengyuan pouted and looked at the game comment section with dissatisfaction.

The only player who bought the game never showed up again.

Could he have died from the poison? Is it really that boring?

"Oh, by the way, since you ran away from home and have no money, I'll give you an advance of 4000 yuan for this month's salary."

"Great!"

When she heard about the money distribution, Liu Mengyuan immediately smiled. She was worrying about how to spend the rest of the month.

Lu Yu sighed, wow, the daughter of a Fortune 500 company is so happy to hear that she has received her salary. It turns out that the threshold of happiness will change with the environment.

The two people turned off the computer and left.

There was suddenly an extra message in the comment section of Cat Girl Paradise.

On the Youyi platform, where games are as numerous as stars, it is inconspicuous, but long enough:

"Fuck, OP, I'm back. It's so fucking fun! I swear, I've never played anything this fun. John is so cute, the cat girls are so cute too, and the ending made me cry! Why is such a good game so unpopular? I want to play the sequel, and I want it now! (crawling darkly) (screaming) (distorted) (splitting) (creeping gloomily) (eerie growl) (crawling darkly) (screaming) (distorted) (splitting) (creeping gloomily) (eerie growl)..."
