Chapter 103 7. Shocking the opponent for ten thousand years (5k big chapters)

When undertaking the pokeni market questionnai survey, players said:

"The monsters in Diablo are better than NPCs. I have not been able to remember the names of several NPCs and key characters, such as what is the name of the Archbishop.

But for the monsters in the game, it is very unforgettable.

Moreover, the monsters are extremely flexible, which makes people produce a kind of—

The illusion that these guys have lived on this land for a long time.

Otherwise, how could we be so familiar with the land, and always choose our weaknesses and hide in places where we cannot see them to shoot cold arrows?"

"The Diablo game is really good, and there are many small details in the game that are very interesting.

For example, there are non-monsters in the maze

These mice will make sounds when they run by.

And when they step on the bones, there are terrifying crackling sounds.

Can you understand that feeling?

In the quiet dark and depressing underground palace, the sound of the mouse can scare you away from the chair.

I've had two experiences throwing the handle out.

Even when I hear the sound of mice at home at night, I will sit up from the bed.

This detail and atmosphere are really amazing. I have never played such a great game so far."

"I like the real-time performance of monsters in the game, especially when I encounter Leo Rik, the Skeleton King, and I can hear him calling Lacey's name all the time.

I am a father with children. When I saw that scene, tears could not stop flowing.

This feeling is really uncomfortable to lose a child.

At the same time, while you are scared of being a boss, you are filled with endless sympathy for it.

At this point, Diablo deeply touched me."

The reason why the players can give [monsters are very flexible] and [monsters are very vivid] is also thanks to Qing Zhiyuan's requirements for monster AI.

The programmers have also made a lot of efforts to do this.

Of course, the final result was quite good.

Of course, Qing Zhiyuan expressed his great honor and great happiness to be noticed by players and said it.

There are quite a lot of people who have not been mentioned by players—

For example, when the monster is born, the skeleton soldiers are fragments on the ground at first, but when the players get closer, these fragments will be automatically spliced ​​together to form a complete skeleton.

It is possible that when you pick up a sword inserted on the ground, you will trigger the mechanism and then fall a few skeleton soldiers from the sky...

There are countless such things.

Compared to Dark 1 in the previous life, this version produced by Qing Zhiyuan has made too many improvements in details and character AI.

Each of these things can be discussed separately, which can make peers in the gaming industry chat for three days and three nights and sigh and learn.

...

After careful calculation, add the previous two Onmyojis, this is the third time Pokeni has been selected into the Platinum Hall for a game.

In the gaming industry, it is really not easy to achieve such high achievements in the early stages of the company's development.

From this point of view, the company pokeni is really amazing.

...

Diablo's game sells pretty well.

Sales volume exceeded 70,000 in the first week.

This has set the record of Pokeni's previous "Mermaid Heart".

Sales in the second week reached an astonishing 120,000 copies.

If this momentum continues, it should be no problem to exceed 300,000 copies.

Especially when such a game is completely different from the previous GALGAME, it can still achieve this step, which basically attracts some niche gamers.

I can only say that Darkness is strong in terms of gameplay.

...

Dealers are the most sensitive and direct about sales results. After all, the data is counted and transmitted back to pokeni through their sales records.

The 10,000 copies of "Diablo" that Dongrun pre-ordered had been sold out, and later it was replenished twice in a row.

Sales momentum has not completely slowed down, which means that Diablo's sales should continue to rise.

Hattori Yuyuki, who learned about this news, smiled directly on his face.

"The company pokeni is really hard to see through. Qing Zhiyuan is so interesting, right?"

Maybe P Club has the hope of becoming the next Square.

It is definitely incomparable to Rentian, but it is just around the corner to surpass Square. As long as you release a few more platinum-level works, Hattori Yuyu believes that one day Pokeni will be born with a game that reaches the million-level level.

"Yes." Secretary Fujimu nodded with a smile. "It can be seen that your vision is very unique. I admire you more and more. If it were me, I would not bet on this for the P Club game."

Fujiki is telling the truth. If the game released by Pokeni this time was galgame, she would not have doubted that the game would be a big seller.

After all, they have proved their strength in developing GALGAME through excellent games like Onmyoji and Mermaid Heart.

Whether it is the producer, Kurahara Tsuki, scriptwriters Urita and Mika Ishino, they are now very famous figures in the gal circle.

But this new game "Diablo" is a completely different action RPG game, and the style is even more terrifying-

It is realistic European and American style and does not conform to the aesthetics of Neon Chinese. If such a game is judged by Fujiki, she will think that the sales volume will definitely be very poor.

If it were her, she would not have the courage of Hattori Yuyu, and she would have signed 10,000 large orders in the first pre-order.

The inventory of the prestigious college has not been cleared yet.

"Haha, there's no more," Hattori Yuuyuki was praised by his secretary, and he smiled and said, "I have a natural sense of smell about games. Sometimes it's hard to say why I signed it."

But...

Hattori Yuno thought that Diablo can achieve such a good result may not have much to do with pokeni himself.

But because-

He threw the game cartridge into the trash can.

Thinking of this, Hattori Yuuyuki looked down at his palm.

My hands!

Have the super ability to control the game life and death!

What a weird thing!

Although there is this idea in the subconscious mind and the Neon people are really superstitious, Hattori Yuuzumi's ability to reach this point is not entirely due to luck.

Reason finally defeated superstition.

Hattori Yuuyuki smiled bitterly, and had to admit that this guy Aochi-jin had two tricks.

...

"Hey, from galgame to ARPG, what happened to pokeni?" Bruvens' president Shigeru Kobayashi could not see through poknei's operation at all.

galgame is a beautiful girl’s love game. The P club used to take a beautiful and fresh path. When it comes to Diablo, a major change in style has taken 180 degrees.

This is like this person who has always been in a beautiful and ladylike manner before, but one day he suddenly couldn't figure it out and went to shaved his head and started wearing cyberpunk clothes full of rivets. Is it impossible for people to accept it at all?

What's more, Kobayashi Shiro has not been long since he entered the game industry. He really can't understand what kind of company Pokeni is.

The president Qing Zhiyuan is even more confusing.

But the results can be understood.

Since Takashi Mizutani also left pokeni, the company's performance has been getting better and better day by day.

Each game has its own characteristics. Whether it is galgame or ARPG today, it can become a very classic game.

The sales volume is really jealous.

so--

Qing Zhiyuan is not as unbearable as Mizutani described. What is the so-called [original painting, I don’t understand the game at all] [Qing Zhiyuan will definitely lead the pokeni to the wrong way]

It is clearly all the lies that Takaya Mizutani said.

If you insist on saying something, Kobaya thinks Mizutani is the coward.

It is obvious that this person doesn't understand games, but he still wants to throw his sins on others.

Until now, Shigeru Kobaya has become increasingly regretful of digging Mizutani Takashi to his own business.

Although Mizutani has been transferred to the Philippines, since Mizutani came to Bruvents, the company's performance and operating conditions have been deteriorating.

Why.

When he thought of this, Shigeru Kobayashi couldn't help but sigh.

...

The peers in the gaming industry were also shocked when they saw Diablo.

"So the game can still do this. This game is too clever in design, right?"

"Although I haven't figured out the specific game mechanism and numerical composition yet, my intuition tells me that the dark game system will definitely bring earth-shaking changes to the game industry."

...

Diablo, players may not feel that it is so obvious, but people in the industry will know as soon as they play it. This game is simply full of treasures. Whether it is in numerical systems, system design, even in combat and AI, it is a huge asset.

It is not an exaggeration to say it is a textbook-level game.

Its appearance will greatly subvert the current RPG game market that focuses on turn-based combat.

Even creating a new era.

...

at the same time.

Tokyo.

Ren Heaven Headquarters.

Pick.

President Hiro Yamauchi finished watching the latest episode of Farmithon and threw it directly on the table.

A sense of indignation was revealed in his eyes.

This scared Iwada Satoshi next to him. He looked up and saw that the old man was not very happy.

"Famitsu's editors are becoming less and less eye-catching." Yamauchi snorted coldly, "What are the games selected for the Platinum Palace this time? Especially this one called "Diablo", the style is also very strange, it is not a game that brings happiness to children at all.

I was praised for being praised and was selected into the Platinum Palace. I really doubt whether they had collected other people's money."

That being said, Yamauchi Hiroshi and Iwada Satoshi know very well in their hearts-

Famitong was originally the back garden of Rentian, and it was impossible for such a thing to collect money to enter the Platinum Hall.

Satoshi Iwada walked over, picked up the magazine, and read it for a while.

I couldn't help but laugh in my heart—

After working on it for a long time, it turned out that the president just couldn't stand the game development company.

Since Qing Zhiyuan cursed the president of Shanuchi in person, "I must live long and pay back twice as much in the future", this old man has treated the P club as a thorn in flesh.

Especially this company has also come together with Sega and Sony to develop new handheld machines, which makes the old man so angry.

If it were me, I don’t know if I could look at the games released by Pokeni objectively and neutrally.

"Indeed," Iwada Satoshi said as he said, "the play style is really not pleasing at all, the picture is also very dark, and the sense of fear is too strong."

It is not a game that brings happiness to children, Iwada Satoshi very much agrees.

But if it is not a good game, it is still hard to say.

From the initial positioning of this game, it is not for children to play. Its target population is exactly the same as Sega.

They all target young people and mature people, providing them with more stimulation, which is different from ordinary life experiences.

It is these differentiation that allows pokeni to reach today.

If I fight against Ren Tiantang from the front, Iwada Satoshi believes that no company in this world will be their opponent.

In a sense, he believed in the comments of the editors of Farmitong.

Farmitong has very strict evaluations of games, which is also the fundamental reason why they can become the no1 game magazine in the minds of players.

After reading it carefully, Iwada Satoshi probably understood the reason.

If it is really as described in this magazine, Diablo is really a very interesting game.

...

Of course, people's evaluation of Diablo is not entirely positive.

In the player questionnaire, many people still gave their own doubts and described the shortcomings of the game.

[I have never played the Diablo game, I have heard of it, and there are many friends around me who like to play games discussing it.

But, I am the first-time player. I like the game style before P Club, especially Onmyoji, which has a beautiful, moving, fresh and healing feeling.

When I saw the darkness for the first time, I knew that this game was not suitable for me.

Because the picture is too dark and it should tell stories about Western demons and humans, I am not very interested in these.]

[Diablo is a good game, it's just that the picture is very dark and the atmosphere is depressing. Of course, there is nothing wrong with these, because the immersion is brought through these details.

But I don’t like the game style very much, it’s a bit too realistic. What I prefer is the Japanese comic style.]

[The game is too difficult. The first time I started, I don’t know how many times I died in the underground palace. Once I opened the box, but the trap lightning came out. Not only did I get half of my blood, I was also beaten to death by the little monster squatting in the corner.

I was in a very uncomfortable mood and extremely frustrated. If my friends hadn't said that this game was fun, I wouldn't have been able to hold on.]

[This game is good at everything, but it's too easy to die, which leads to an illusion that I have -

Who is the monster?

I am obviously a great hero and savior who came to save the world, but I can easily be killed instantly by the monsters.

If you accidentally fail to notice archers from corners or yin and yang, it may lead to death.

To be honest, the whole process of playing the game was terrified.

If you have some heart disease and high blood pressure, you really can't play this game.]

Qing Zhiyuan frowned while flirting through the questionnaire.

No wonder I only sold 120,000 copies.

"Well. This sales are too bleak, right?" Qing Zhiyuan said to himself.

The shocked and contemptuous gaze came from the little HR.

"President! Are you not satisfied with the 120,000 results in two weeks?"

"Of course I'm not satisfied." Qing Zhiyuan frowned, "How can I be satisfied? You must know that this is "Diablo"!"

Diablo, it should reach millions of sales, right?

First-class gameplay, first-class stories, first-class experience, and great works that have created the instant era, how can they only sell 120,000 copies?!

Floating.

The president is completely floating.

Akane Ayase covered her forehead and wanted to slap him twice in the face to make this guy feel a little more awake.

Unfortunately, she doesn't have the courage.

"President, I believe the next work will definitely be better," Akane Ayase clenched her fist and smiled and encouraged, "Now everyone is becoming more and more confident, and the game is getting better and better.

It's time to break through one million.

Maybe it's the next one."

What is the next work?

Akane Ayase frowned.

I thought for two seconds.

Oh, yes, "The Man of the Reverse" led by Wada

Oh my, there is a bad feeling.

This guy Wada seems to be walking further and further on the road of the [Depression System]. Akane Aya cried so hard after reading the script.

"I see!"

At this moment, Aochigen's voice scared Akane Ayase.

He suddenly thought of something very important.

...

"Hey? Make the full English version?"

When Akanishi heard Qing Zhiyuan's words, he was stunned at first, but he quickly figured out the key to the problem.

"Yes, I just said something seemed wrong, and we seemed to have chosen the wrong track." Ken Akani said.

If Diablo is published in Europe and the United States, there may be a greater breakthrough.

"Well, in terms of strategy, it is definitely not enough to just post neon in China." Qing Zhiyuan said, "In terms of game style and theme, this game is more suitable for players in the Ome region."

Whether it is the game theme or the Diablo production team in the previous life, they are all from the Ome region, so they will naturally be better at controlling the psychology of local players.

The reason why Darkness has become a world-class game is mainly because of its excellent gameplay.

But in its essence, it is definitely more suitable for the West.

and--

What’s more important is that in Sega’s European and American markets, MD’s host market share is actually slimly surpassing Rentian. So far, there are almost 16 million units.

This market is obviously larger than that of Neon.

If Diablo is released well, it may not necessarily drive the number of MDs.

Shinto Nakayama will definitely be happy with Qing Zhiyuan's proposal.

"The New Year is coming soon," Ken Akani asked carefully, "Is it starting from now on?"

"It's not too late to do it now," said Qing Zhiyuan. "It's okay, just schedule according to the normal work schedule. After the New Year, I will post it to the same thing as Europe and the United States."
