"Okay, okay, stop playing tricks, is the one-hour sales volume high?" Yang Chen listened to the knock on the door again, let go of Wang Yaliang's white eyes, stood up and opened the door and said with a smile.

Chen Shu at the door still had an excited expression, but her eyes flicked back and forth on Wang Yaliang, who was lying on the table next to Yang Chen and buried his head on his arms.

"That's right, Mr. Yang, Yinhe Network has sent us a statistical report, with a total of 30,000 copies sold on the entire platform in one hour!" Chen Shu said excitedly.

"Okay, okay, I understand, but the celebration banquet is useless during this period, after the game situation stabilizes, I will book a hotel to take you there." Yang Chen said with a smile.

In the game industry, the early stage of game release is the hardest period, because it is necessary to continuously observe the player feedback after the game is released.

For example, where the numerical difficulty is really too high, and where there are bugs, these need to be repaired by subsequent push patches.

Then there is another problem to be noticed, that is, whether the subsequent patches will invalidate the player's save file.

"Sold 30,000 copies in one hour? Is this number more or less?" After Chen Shu left the office and closed the door, Wang Yaliang stopped pretending to be an ostrich, and raised his head to stare at Yang Chen with big eyes.

"It's average, the kind that's quite satisfactory." Yang Chen walked to Wang Yaliang's side with a smile, and gently pinched his face.

At 12 o'clock that night, some details such as BUG patches were repaired, and the handover was handed over to the staff on duty at Galaxy Network. Yang Chen and Wang Ye also got off work.

Although it was early morning, Wang Ye and the others were still very excited, and their spirits were very high.

This is not the first project they have worked on, but it is definitely the happiest project they have done. There is no need to change the game content because of the leadership of the business department, and there is no need to make the game become what they don’t want because of other reasons. The way I saw it.

"Okay, there shouldn't be anything else going on for the time being, everyone will have a day off tomorrow and won't come to the company, and have a good rest at home." Yang Chen looked at the crowd and said with a smile.

After everyone greeted Yang Chen, they left the office one after another.

After everyone left, Yang Chen walked into the office, watched Wang Yaliang who fell asleep lying on the table, walked over and patted her face lightly: "It's time to wake up, go home and go to sleep."

"Woo... is it over?" Wang Yaliang muttered as he opened his eyes with half-closed eyes, sat up and rubbed his own eyes.

"If I tell you to go back first, you have to do it." Turning off the computer, Yang Chen put a cup of warm water in front of her, and then lifted the steel egg's buttocks with his toes to wake her up.

"Everyone is at their posts, why am I ashamed to leave alone?" Wang Yaliang said with a curled lip.

"Judging from the first day's sales and ratings, the success of the project is certain. It depends on how many copies can be sold in the end. Their bonuses will be distributed together at the celebration party." Yang Chen said to Wang Yaliang.

It is normal for a project to give bonuses at the end of the project. Of course, some small factories never give out bonuses.

As for dividends, there are almost no general game projects.

There are only some not-so-small projects that have dividends, but only the core and important positions of the main producer, main planner, and main program participate in the dividends.

In general positions, at most there are only bonuses.

"Okay!" Wang Yaliang nodded.

The two led the steel egg, turned off the light, locked the door and left the company.

Although it was already early in the morning, many buildings in the entire industrial park were still lit up, and at the same time, many people who had just left work left the buildings.

"Octopath Traveler" sold 150,000 copies on the first day. In fact, this result is already very good.

But compared to the first-day sales of "Time and Space", it was still more than three times worse.

It's fine if the two parties don't have much communication, but the key is to have a lot of communication, and it's the kind of topic that is full of gimmicks.

In an instant, many people who had watched "Octopath Traveler" in advance jumped out.

"Sure enough, there is no market for JRPG and pixel games at all."

"Sales of 150,000 on the first day? They were all crushed by Time and Space."

"I told a joke, someone said that although ARPG is the trend of technological development, the traditional JPRG genre is definitely not ending. It's not that players don't like RPG, but the creators haven't produced the RPG they want. .”

With the sales of "Octopath Traveler" released on the first day, a group of people who realized that they were not optimistic about this game suddenly showed up in various post bars.

However, there are still many players who have purchased "Octopath Traveler" to assist the game.

"A group of people who probably haven't played the game are talking nonsense here?"

"Octopath Traveler is definitely one of the most fun JRPGs I've played in recent years!"

"Oh? The most fun JRPG? 150,000 sales on the first day? I heard that the cost alone is tens of millions? Add in the cost of publicity and distribution, don't even lose the cost in the end!"

"Is it difficult to admit that it is not as good as Time and Space?"

In the face of netizens who support "Octopath Traveler", the sales volume is not as good as that of "Time and Space".

At the same time, in the Chang'an studio, Lin Jiayi was also sitting in front of the computer and experiencing "Octopath Traveler".

"Watching a competitor's game?" The office door was pushed open without knocking.

In the entire Chang'an studio, only Zhuo Qing, Lin Jiayi's old partner, could do this.

"Well, by the way, what was the sales volume of their game on the first day?" Looking at the downloaded game, Lin Jia asked with a smile.

Although the outside world said that there is no conflict with Yang Chen, the relationship between the two parties is not bad, and there is no hostile relationship between "Time and Space" and "Octopath Traveler".

But Lin Jiayi is actually quite dissatisfied in his heart, especially the previous "Chrono Wheel" was blown away by "The Binding of Isaac", and later at the "Shanghai Independent Game Conference" he just said that JRPG is a legacy of the times The product of ARPG is the mainstream in the future, and then it was raised again.

It's impossible to say that you don't have any ambition in your heart.

"I heard from others that it seems to be 150,000. It's pretty good for a JRPG game to achieve this score. This should be the best score in recent years, but it's still quite different from our "Time and Space"." Zhuo Qing said with a smile. , has been busy with updating the follow-up content of "Time and Space" recently, and he really doesn't know much about this game.

"Then they must be in trouble." Lin Jia couldn't help smiling when she thought about what she said before.

But soon, the smile on his face disappeared, because he had already entered the game.

"This screen and UI!"

After entering the game and confirming the characters, Lin Jiayi, who was sitting in front of the computer, felt his body tremble when looking at the official game scene, as if an electric current had rushed into his body.
