Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 1171 Infinitely close sales
Chapter 1171 Infinitely Close Sales
The content of this infinite world update is actually very simple.
But there are actually some hidden updates that have not been announced.
The first thing is that the new version of the infinite world random generation system has undergone a major revision.
But this time it has not reached the completeness as imagined, so it is not explained in this update. Instead, it is pre-installed in the game to see how players respond to this.
Then there are many bugs and bugs in the game.
Because the game was too big, their small team of more than 100 people and lack of experience could not solve the problem at all.
With the help of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, they have also made a lot of efforts to fix the loopholes.
This update to version 1.1 has patched many of the previous serious and vicious vulnerabilities.
Even if the game itself may not be particularly fun, the game can at least run normally and can be played normally.
This game critic doesn’t know how to describe it.
This time around, the Infinite World doesn't seem to have many updates, but it does feel a lot more comfortable to play.
It turns out that this game is quite fun. Could it be that my mentality when playing this game was different before, which caused me to have a bad impression of this game?
With this idea in mind, he finally played Infinite World on Mickford Platform.
Then he realized that what he had felt about the game before was absolutely correct.
Up to now, the content of the infinite world on Mickford's side is still original. It took more than a day to update on the Battle.net platform, but the update on your side is still so slow.
Looking at the announcement, it is obvious that this is not the old team before the Infinite World development team made things difficult for them, and they will not provide the old team with the latest game version update information.
Because the cover page and other content on the platform have been modified, it is definitely no problem to upload the latest version.
But Mickford’s game platform experience is so rubbish, and it’s useless even if it gives you a chance. No wonder you guys have never been able to beat Youxing Electronic Entertainment. I can only say that you deserve it.
Subsequently, he entered the infinite world of the Battle.net platform again.
The construction mode is much more interesting than before. This time, he did not frequently venture into empty worlds. Instead, he simply took root in a world and began to build infrastructure. Time passed without realizing it.
This kind of farming infrastructure-type game often kills time like this, making people feel that time passes quickly.
At the same time, within Yuxing Electronic Entertainment Company, the Infinite World development team and producers are cheering.
On the day the new version of Infinite World was launched, Infinite World got off to a good start on the Battle.net platform due to discounts and promotion on the Battle.net platform.
The sales volume on that day reached more than 100,000.
Originally, they had given up hope on this game and felt that a sales volume of tens of thousands would be enough.
But now I didn’t expect that the sales volume was much better than expected.
The sales volume of more than 100,000 sounds very inconspicuous, especially since this game is still on discount. The revenue from the sales of 100,000 US dollars is only about 750,000 US dollars, which is really not a big deal for game development. Big rewards.
But this is just one day.
"The producer is really great. We have finally made some achievements. The sales volume will not be too bad in the future. Maybe we can get half a million sales in this promotion, then we will be It’s a great success, and I can also deal with the big boss!”
The producer of Infinite World was also very excited, but as a manager, he calmed down quickly. He said: "No, we can't relax now. Although the sales of this game have exceeded our expectations, it is still the same as this one." The money required for late-stage maintenance and rescue of the game did not match, so we spent more than three million US dollars to barely give this infinite world a new look."
Everyone nodded.
There is nothing wrong with this, it is indeed not the time to be happy yet.
“Then producers, what should we do?”
The producer of Infinite World thought for a moment and said: "To be honest, the current situation reminds me of what the big boss said to me. The quality of video games itself is an important part, and publicity is also very important. The aroma of the wine may I’m not afraid of the alley being deep, but I can’t resist someone putting low-quality alcohol directly at the entrance of the alley, causing people to not smell the aroma of the alcohol in the alley.”
"Huh? The smell of wine? What does this have to do with our game?" Everyone was a little confused.
“It’s just a metaphor. It’s some classic sentences circulated in that big country in the East. Our big boss often likes to use these words to express his views.”
“Then what are we going to do to promote it next?”
The producer of Infinite World nodded vigorously: "That's right, and we need to increase publicity efforts."
“But we don’t have that much money. Among the funds approved by Youxing Electronic Entertainment, the announced funds are very small.”
The producer of Infinite World said confidently: "You don't have to worry about this. I have already thought about this and I have already figured out how to do it."
"How to do…"
Everyone looked at each other.
This method was not something he came up with himself, but was the guidance given to him by Zhu Youxing.
“Video games do not necessarily require huge publicity costs, especially for small and medium-sized games, because not everyone will like games produced on a small and medium-sized scale, and sometimes hits are not all achieved through heavy capital publicity. After sending it to be completed, what I suggest is that you can take the live broadcast route."
The producer of Infinite World took a deep breath, and then said to everyone: "We are going to do a live broadcast."
“Doing a live broadcast?”
"That's right, it's live broadcasting. Nowadays, there are more and more live broadcasts on the Internet, and the number of views and visits is exaggerated. We can invite game anchors to play our games at a relatively low price, and we can also do it ourselves. Set up an official live broadcast account and also broadcast our games."
“Also, I also thought of contacting Facebook to launch a call for submissions, based on the game Infinite World, allowing people to create as much as they like, and the winner can get a pretty good remuneration.”
This method is the lowest cost and most efficient way of publicity.
A few years ago, Zhuyouxing also made articles about live streaming, allowing people to play games such as Titanfall on the live streaming platform. It used some exciting video clips to fool players into buying them and trying these video games themselves.
This is different from traditional film and television dramas. Traditional film and television dramas cannot be broadcast on live broadcast platforms. Copyright control in this world is still very tight.
Moreover, the process of playing a film and television drama is tantamount to a kind of spoiler. Not everyone wants to watch live film and television dramas on the live broadcast platform, otherwise they will feel a little bored.
Video games can be broadcast live as a matter of course, and officials also encourage players to live broadcast their own games to give their games more exposure.
Now with the development of the Internet, the net worth of these network anchors has also increased, but it has not yet reached the top level that Zhu Youxing remembered in his previous life. The bargaining power of most anchors is still relatively weak, but they can take advantage of such opportunities. , promote their own games in a lower-cost way.
The members of the Infinite World development team did not hesitate too much, and soon began to show their talents and went to different places to find game anchors. At the same time, some people registered Facebook live broadcast accounts, and then prepared corresponding game equipment and recording equipment. , then you can interact with players in real time.
A few days later, the live broadcast plan was officially implemented, and everyone in the team began to take action to do their best to increase the exposure of this game.
And in particular, we must focus on promoting the inspirational stories of Infinite World that have been persevering to inspire people's compassion.
Game critic is one of the self-media contacted by the official. After he learned that Infinite World wanted him to express his opinions on the game, he readily agreed.
On the one hand, this game has begun to impress him, and on the other hand, he has begun to have the urge to promote this game to others.
And this game reviewer is also very efficient.
Not long after the official invited the other party, he took the initiative to give the game a four-star rating in the evaluation system.
Such a game rating is so eye-catching in the current infinite world game rating list.
According to real-time statistics, most of the players who have played this game so far have criticized it. They are all heartbroken by this game and no longer want to pre-order the game easily.
One-third of the reviewers accounted for half-star reviews.
The current overall evaluation of the game is summarized as a flood of negative reviews.
So far, there is no game on the Battle.net platform that has received rave reviews.
Infinite World has set a precedent, becoming the first game to receive rave reviews on the Battle.net platform, and more than 10,000 players have reviewed it. I really don’t know why these players are still interested in buying it on the Battle.net platform. This game, but this is somewhat of a shame for the Infinite World development team.
They have too much pressure on them.
Now they suddenly see a very small number of high-star rating updates suddenly appearing in game reviews, and they are not to mention how happy they are.
“Infinite World is a game that has been out for a while, and the first thing I have to say is that this game was terrible before version 1.0.”
“That can’t even be called a game.”
"But the game does not necessarily have to be unfun at the beginning, and it will continue to be unfun in the future. Video games also have opportunities to make up for it, and I chose to buy this new infinite world work. I bought it with the mentality of watching a joke from the beginning. , it just so happens that I have already bought all the popular games on the market, and I don’t need to spend any more money, so this infinite world has become an alternative.”
“Then I discovered that this game I had been raving about for a while was unexpectedly fun.”
“In this new infinite world game, there are still some limitations to what you can do.”
“Either clear the main story, or wander around, and finally give up on the game because every world is boring.”
"But this time it's different. This game has a new feature this time, which is the construction sandbox function. This makes the game a little more fun. What I want to say now is that I have begun to hope for this. The game can be improved. I hope this game will continue to work hard. I am willing to spend some more money to support this development team so that they can update this game steadily. The foundation of this game is really good, but it was let down by the garbage experience at the beginning. It has ruined the reputation, but given time, I believe this game will still shine."
This game reviewer has been addicted to it after playing it for a day or two.
He himself is a farming infrastructure enthusiast, so it is not too surprising that he quickly gave praise again.
Other well-known game critics are obviously much more cautious.
They only gave a relative recognition and positive praise for this big update, and did not say anything more.
They still cherish their feathers, fearing that their reputation will be damaged by saying unnecessary words.
The current infinite world is generally only playable, and it is still far from a masterpiece.
But because they have joined Youxing Electronic Entertainment, looking at this update, they have a promising future.
This team has not given up. The producer of Infinite World still remembers Zhu Youxing’s earnest teachings. Now is not the time to relax. He must continue to find ways to expand the advantages of the current game.
So he directly instructed the team to use the remaining money to purchase soft article promotion.
It may sound a little bad, but as long as it works, the only thing that can prove the ability of this team is the sales volume of the game and player feedback.
If it is like what Zhu Youxing said, and the aroma of the wine is masked by the low-quality wine at the entrance of the alley, then it is really a loss.
This time they didn't mess up the game again, they made a lot of changes this time, which is worthy of bragging.
Then, in the next few days, there began to be more and more related soft articles on some forums. What is even more exaggerated is that the team simply put down the follow-up development work at hand and joined the ranks of trolls and soft article writing.
Infinite World is the only opportunity to prove them. If they miss this opportunity, Youxing Electronic Entertainment will not just keep them.
Even if it seems a bit unscrupulous.
But now that the Internet is popular, this is actually quite normal behavior.
Even without the Internet, similar behaviors would still be inevitable in the era of television and newspaper media.
Soft article culture has a long history.
Maybe this behavior of looking for them is really effective. In the next few days, Christmas has passed and people are ready to gradually return to work and life. The sales volume of Infinite World still has not much downward trend and can be maintained. Sales volume exceeds 100,000 to 200,000 per day.
When the first million sales occurred after the 1.1 version update, the entire development team cheered so much that they almost overturned their working area. As a result, people from other development departments often came over to take a look out of curiosity, and at the same time wondered why they would be so happy.
Those who have not experienced rock bottom may still find it difficult to understand the pain of the Infinite World development team.
They have experienced being trolled, scolded, and cyber-violated, and in the end it almost turned into a threat of violence in real life. Someone actually sent blades and some murder weapons to their development department, and left a message threatening to destroy them. Drop them.
After experiencing all this, they especially cherish this hard-won success.
