This game is awesome

"I am Andohua."

"I'm Zheng Gongwen."

"I'm Li Wei."

"Your time is very valuable. Come play this game and conquer the martial arts world with me!"

Friends, we have finally figured it out!

Although the design of the promotional advertisements for this game is far less refined than that of the Earth web game, it has undoubtedly captured the essence.

Eye-catching and attractive.

Gu Qingshi looked up the game, which was a martial arts MMO called "Broken Sword" developed by "Longyuan Network".

"Longyuan Network, why does the name sound so familiar?"

Gu Qingshi didn't think much about it and forgot about the company while watching videos.

.......

.......

An Yan is arranging the launch of a new version of "Victoria".

She was a little excited and a little nervous about the launch of the new version.

Judging from the feedback from the beta test, the quality of Victoria is beyond doubt. But now Fanxing Studio is caught up in a piracy storm.

The Beta version has been leaked for two days.

Fortunately, the circle of strategy game players is not large, and game piracy is not widespread.

But on the other hand, the circle of strategy game players is not large, and most of the people in the circle who are interested in "Victoria" may have played it...

In two days, it is impossible to curb the circulation of pirated copies. Will players who have played pirated copies choose to buy the official version?

An Yan was skeptical about this.

But in any case, the online work cannot be delayed any longer, otherwise the losses will only be further increased.

Since this operation by Fanxing Studio is a "version update" rather than a "new game release", this update does not need to be pressed and submitted to the review department for review, it only needs to pass the platform's AI review.

The game platform where Victoria was released is NGI (National Electronic Game Information), which was originally a sub-section of the official media. Later, it became an independent game information website and merged with several large platforms to become an official-level game distribution platform.

Its status in China is equivalent to the officially established Steam.

Because of its official background, the distribution costs and welfare benefits of this platform are good. The commission on the buyout system is 10%, which is relatively low in the world. Therefore, PC developers of all sizes will give priority to releasing their games on NGI.

Of course, there are some platforms that belong to some large companies and have been preserved, but most of them are barely surviving.

"Sister An, has the new version been released?"

When Gu Qingshi saw the review message sent from the backend of the NGI website, she called An Yan.

"It has been submitted, and the platform is still reviewing it."

"Well, everyone should take a good rest and wait for the game to be officially launched tomorrow."

......

......

10 month 10 day.

"Victoria" is officially on sale, priced at 38 yuan!

Yes, not 198, not 138, not 98, and not 68, but a shocking 38 yuan!

You can’t buy 38A New Year products with 3 yuan, you can’t buy a single-player masterpiece with 38 yuan, and 38 yuan is not even enough for Bai Jingye’s daily expenses.

However, for 38 yuan you can play a dough kneading simulator!

Compared with the 1800 yuan price of "Industry: 88", the price of "Victoria" has dropped by yuan, which can be called a radical price reduction.

Gu Qingshi hesitated for a long time when deciding the price. Since the development cost of the game in this timeline is low, the price will naturally not be the same as that of Earth.

大制作的年货3A，国内外的定价比较统一，固定在150到250之间。高于250元的游戏属实罕见，至于像《暗黑破坏神4》一般标准版定价500元的更是绝无仅有。

But for games priced below 150 yuan, there are no rules for pricing.

There are many products from small workshops priced over one hundred yuan, and games from large companies often start out at forty or fifty yuan.

Pricing is chaotic and competition is fierce. Large manufacturers are playing price offensive in this muddy water, which naturally makes it easy for many small workshops to survive.

The price was too high, players didn’t buy it, and sales were dismal.

The price is too low, the cost cannot be recovered and the business cannot be sustained.

This is a headache for countless small-scale game developers.

When Gu Qingshi, like her peers, was troubled by the issue of pricing, she was suddenly stunned.

She was the boss who took over the game midway. The game itself was developed long before Zhou's black-hearted era, and even the publicity and promotion cost nothing... except for the 0 yuan.

Where does she get the cost?

Chapter 24 [Why Become Fanxing's Dog]

10 month 13 day.

Le'an City.

Although Gu Qingshi was too poor to rent an office, the five people in Fanxing Studio turned on their computers almost at the same time.

An Yan's face looked a little solemn.

As she expected, the game's sales... weren't that good.

Three days after the release, the NGI backend showed that the game sales had just risen to 24521 copies. With sales of more than , Gu Qingshi was of course satisfied.

It's a lucrative business. She can make millions in net profit after this deal. She has already figured out how to live her retirement life at the age of 18.

Millions!

In her previous life, Gu Qingshi had been a social animal for decades in order to achieve these hundreds of small goals, and she was still a long way from achieving her goals!

Gu Qingshi is a contented person, but An Yan is not.

Strategy games are a niche genre, but a niche genre also means there are many die-hard fans. The first-month sales of top strategy games in previous years were around 20.

An Yan didn't dare to hope for this number, but in her estimation, Victoria's first-month sales should be at least 15, right?

But the sales volume in three days was only more than 15...If we want to achieve this result of in the first month, even God cannot help us.

"Victoria" had a very bad start. Not only were the sales low, but the reviews were mostly negative.

Gu Qingshi's gimmick finally backfired. Because the outsiders who were attracted by the gimmick were not interested in this unpopular subject matter and were not paying users at all.

If you open the comment page of NGI's "Victoria", you will find that nearly 60% of the players have never played a strategy game before. They were blocked by the threshold of "Victoria" right from the start and ran away before they even got to know the core gameplay of the game. They deleted the game, refunded the money, and gave bad reviews - all in one package!

"I'm really stupid, really, I actually believed that Star Studio made a good game......"

"I watched Lao Luo's video and thought this game was interesting, but it turned out to be just a bunch of statistics. Is this for people to play?"

"It's a promotional scam, just like the 1800 one. If you're not a die-hard fan of strategy games, don't read it."

"I reported it and deleted it."

"I want to see JK boss's fat."

"Stupid and soft game, it feels like the game designer is underage."

"Upstairs, the designer might really be underage."

Li Xiaomeng was so dizzy after reading the comments.

Li Xiaomeng typed away on the keyboard, "Our boss is an adult now!"

"Do not believe rumors, do not pass rumors."

"Now that you are an adult, please show me your fat..."

"Damn it, it's you again, go to hell you fat freak!"

While Li Xiaomeng was typing away on the keyboard and passionately arguing with netizens, Gu Qingshi was calm and composed, having just boarded a plane to the Magic City.

She wants to interview Professor Zheng in person.

Gu Qingshi was really not in a hurry. Having no cost and making huge profits was secondary. However, she knew very well that it had only been three days.

Do players who are truly immersed in this game really have the time to leave comments?

Gu Qingshi opened the backend of NGI and clearly saw the average playing time of players who had not received a refund.

28 hours!

If a person works eight hours a day and rests eight hours, the remaining time in three days is only 24 hours!

Those silent players are the ones who truly have the right to comment on the game.

As long as the players have not been influenced by the shitty works of competitors for more than a decade and have not learned the difference between beauty and ugliness, good and bad, Gu Qingshi believes that as long as the quality of the game is good, the players will vote with their feet.

All she needed to do was wait for the bullets to fly for a while.

......

......

How long does the bullet take to fly?

Chu Teng didn’t know.

But Chu Teng’s people are about to explode again!

Chu Teng, who inherited the bad temper of his elders, was filled with indignation when he saw the comment section of "Victoria". He picked up the keyboard and started to respond to everyone on the thread.

"How dare you slander Fanxing like this? I don't even dare to do that!"
