At 3 p.m., the fantasy area is online!

People in the studio began to download games, give five stars, and write praises.

Like "Lid Road", "Fantasy Domain" is now in the stage of just going online, just testing the water.Perhaps the sales in the past few days will not be very high, but as long as you get an initial series of data, such as player ratings, sales, paid conversion rates, etc., then go to other platform to promote, everything will be smooth.

Of course, the regular recommendation, advertising and the like, Wu Minghao also bought some, but bought not much, after all, fantasy time studio is also more poor.

Strictly speaking, it is much poorer than the glare studio.

Microbright Studio now holds two successful games, the company account in addition to research and development funds there are millions of dollars, in the studio, has been a very rich type.

He gave the game a good review.

She secretly looked at the bell and found that the bell was ringing in a minute to complete the whole process of evaluation.

Open the game detail page.

Start the evaluation.

Five stars well received.

Comments: “This game is great, everyone come and play!”

Tian Yuan almost squirts water on his computer screen: "钟d... teacher, your evaluation is not too perfunctory..."

Tian Yuan probably remembered the exhortation before Tang Ying, shouting the bell and shouting a teacher.

"What perfunctory, you really think how many players will look at the comments you write."Zhong Zhong said indifferently, "Most players will only look at a comprehensive rating, and the rating is just to allow more players to enter the game, and there is no way for players to pay."

“Oh.”For a moment, she felt that what she was doing was meaningless.

Zhong Ming is right, independent game brush evaluation, basically not meaningful.

If it is a general bracelet game, brush evaluation is still useful, because many players will recharge as soon as they enter, perhaps the game has not yet played to understand the beginning of the first charge, buy a monthly card, play the egg, brush the score, the game revenue is indeed helpful.

But the world's independent games, most of them are first to play, then pay, try to play content will account for about 5% to 10% of the beginning, single-player games also do not have the first charge, monthly card such a moth, so whether the players pay, the key is to see whether they get the desired experience in the game, will not just because the game score is high.

Tian Yuan was a little worried: "I feel ah, the game is a little too difficult, I don't know if the players can accept it."

Zhong Ming said, "Rest assured, independent gamers are very tolerable."

Tian Yuan is still worried: "Moreover, the plot of the game has been cut too much..."

The bell chilled, “Oh.”

Tiffid: “=.="

Obviously, this bell ringing looks full of confidence like a king, why do you always feel that he will make some bronze operations?

Tian Yuan opened the "Fantasy Domain" player group, paying attention to the player's reaction.

This group is not built on the line, but has always been there.

In the development of "Fantasy Domain", in fact, there are some single-player fans who know this game and have been paying close attention.Wu Minghao felt that one contact was troublesome, so he simply built the player group of the game in advance and added the players.

Before the game went online, this group became a game discussion group for players, and daily watering.

However, now that the game is online, the most discussed nature in the group has become the realm of fantasy.

"Download, buy, old Wu, I support you, I hope the fantasy domain is really fun!" 」

"I also downloaded, the rest I don't worry about, after all, old Wu is also a senior producer, just a little worried about the plot."

“Before I heard that... the world architect ran away?”It's not easy for the game to be on the line."

"Yes, the last time I ran the demo to try, I feel that the weight of the plot is still very heavy, I don't know how old Wu made up."

In this game group, many players are also worried about the plot.

Before the world architect ran away things, these people also heard some clues from various channels, but also very worried that the game will be delayed release, the result did not delay the release, this is quite surprising.

Players enter the game experience.

Half an hour has passed.

An hour has passed.

Player reviews of the game gradually began to erupt.

“It’s too hard for me, isn’t it?I have died as a dog!”

“How does it feel to be different from the demo that I tried before?”

"Indeed, I feel that the numerical difficulty has been increased ... Fortunately, I am better at operating, but it is not too close."But I have a question, is the previous impression of the plot, all cut off?I remember a previous cellar task, why didn't it be triggered?"

"This boss in the second chapter, the trough, I have been dead nearly twenty times, I can't bear it, I kind of want to give up what to do..."

"Chapter 2 of that boss, you're going to use the props!"You have to collect blood in advance to get hit.”

“Collection of blood? how to collect it?”

The first chapter of the cellar!After defeating the branch borss there, a blood-stained note was scraped, with hints in it.Then go into the second chapter and collect some blood, and throw it when you hit the boss, it will be fine."

“Is there such a thing?”

In the game group, players began to share their experiences about this game.

The first reaction is, it’s hard, it’s hard!

As a hardcore independent game, although it is a 2D cross-section type, but the difficulty is indeed very large, the damage value of the monster is raised a lot, and players need to carefully observe the action of the monster, the backplane monster attack routine, if it is hard to go up, it is absolutely necessary to die as a dog.

The second reaction is, how do I lead so much?Where is it?

Previously, a small number of players had played the game demo, which is a relatively simple demo.At that time, it was still the first chapter of the plot before the change, and the various guides were very cumbersome, but at the same time they were very rich, including several hidden scenes, and they all knew where they were.

But after the official version was launched, players were surprised to find that these mandatory guidance was basically cut!

Before, I wanted to move freely and not, and the plot has always forced players to explore according to the established route, and if you honestly follow the guidance, you will basically not miss any important branches.

But the official version is completely different, the plot basically does not have any forced guidance, where do you like to go!

But in this way, many players may not even complete 60% of the completion of the first chapter, have gone to the second chapter, and then hit the bors door of the second chapter.

Looking closely, the plot guide is indeed gone, but the hint is still there.These plot tips are actually cleverly broken up into many other places.

For example: equipment description, the description of the props obtained in the scene, a billboard, some clues, a few words of an NPC...

But where do the average player care about these things?

As a result, some people in the game group are really difficult to adapt to and die in doubt about life.

But there are also a group of people who appreciate this change!

“Is it difficult?I feel good!The previous game of cutting melons and cutting vegetables, is anyone really willing to play?”

"I also think that after this change is still challenging, it's more fun to play."

“I prefer the show now.Don’t you think the previous scene was too much?Just like a toothless grandmother is telling you a story, the endless talk, you don't want to hear it and can't go, you have to wait for her to finish, I have no patience.How good it is now, where I want to go, what kind of monster I want to fight, and the freedom is much higher!"

"But without guidance, a lot of monsters are really hard to fight!"The devil knows that the second boss needs blood to fight!”

There are details to describe!In other words, the hidden scene cellar in the first chapter, there are many clues: fewer and fewer villagers; when you talk to the couple in the cellar in the village, their lines will hint that you like to eat people; the madman in the village said that he once saw the hungry ghost from the underground dragging the missing villagers into hell; when you wander around to the vicinity of the cellar, you will find scattered blood, followed by blood can also find the entrance of the cellar...

"In fact, I also found that after the change of the plot, this game is more like a boutique indie game!"Difficulty, puzzle solving, exploration, freedom, etc., all have these elements!

“Yes, the previous fantasy area was a bit deliberate.We all know that the content of this game is very rich, but the guide and plot are like trying to make a lot of fun: I am beautiful, come and play me!But now there is a feeling of wanting to say rest, but especially can stimulate the desire to explore!”

The players are talking about fantasy.

Some people don't like to explore, only pay attention to the more difficult boss war should be how to pass.

Some people are particularly interested in the plot, always want to dig up all kinds of clues in the scene, one by one as a big detective, want to find out the unique plot that no one else has encountered.

Of course, there is only one person who is very dissatisfied with this game.

A player who is handcuffed and does not want to move his mind...

Hands, when encountering monsters, do not want to go to the backplane, do not want to practice technology, rushed to die with the monster, met the boss, died two or three times do not want to play.

Unwilling to use the brain, do not care about the clues and clues in the scene, do not look at the prop tips, do not know the collection of targeted props to hit the boss.

This kind of player will not have much fun in this game.

However, most of these players will not come to play independent games to find abuse, they generally go to play krypton bracelet game.

Of course, not to say that contempt for a certain category of players, the player itself is not superior, some people usually work very tired, want to play a kryptonite game without the brain to relax and relax, which is also a common feeling.

However, every game developed, in fact, there are corresponding target groups.

The target group of "Fantasy Domain" should be this group of hardcore independent players, so that these players are satisfied, whether it is word of mouth or sales, it will not be bad.

...

Wu Minghao is also quite nervous to refresh the game's data.

And most importantly, sales!

According to common sense, a good download of the independent game, sales must also be good, provided that there is no false propaganda.

But the download of "Fantasy Domain" is not too good, because Wu Minghao does not have much money to smash advertising space, publicity, did not play any title party, or even a large part of the publicity, relying on the players' tap water.

It is reasonable to say that in this case, the sales volume will not be too high, after all, the base is in this place.

But Wu Minghao looked at the game data, the more happy he looked at it, and he laughed too close!

The game is 9.1!

The player evaluation is very good, the paid conversion rate is also good, and according to the sales forecast on the first day, the first month of the game sales reached 700,000, and the flow of water reached six or seven million is no problem!

That is to say, the net income of the first month can be 3 to 4 million!

This data, Wu Minghao once fantasized, but never dared to take it seriously.

Because he also knows that the first time to jump out of the business, not only him, including the entire studio, in fact, there are many defects and problems.

"Fantasy Domain" is a relatively high degree of completion of independent games, but it still has many problems, mainly because of insufficient manpower, lack of funds, many places have adopted a compromise program, can not be said to be perfect.

But in this case, the fantasy area is still a success!

“Go to work today, go out for dinner, I invite you!”Wu Minghao stood up and said excitedly.

...

Zhong Ming had wanted to go back, but he could not resist Wu Minghao's affectionate invitation with Tian Yuan, and was dragged to the restaurant.

Tian Yuan basically knew nothing about the game data, but when he saw that Wu Minghao was so happy, he naturally understood.

On the table, the cup was changed, the bell did not drink, but everyone else drank a little faint.

“It’s not easy, it’s not easy this time!It’s a good game, otherwise I don’t know what to do next!”

"Yes, out of business for the past few months, my wife quarrels with me every day, and now I can finally raise my eyebrows!"

"It's a pity that Lubber is gone, if he doesn't, he should drink with us now."

“Don’t mention that thing!He ran away, and left a bunch of mess, if it wasn't for Teacher Zhong to come to the rescue, our game may have been yellow!"

“Don’t say that, it’s a personal choice.”

These people in the fantasy time studio, do not know whether it is because of the role of alcohol, or because the emotions in the heart are released, some people cry, some people laugh.

It is not easy to engage in independent games, the boss is not easy, and the employees are not easy.

Such a thing as getting out of the head, of course, should be celebrated, because the probability of success is too low!

Most of the studios are open, there is no money, and the game is not made.

There is no salary, the backbone members are hard to carry in the case of a penny of salary, but slowly, they begin to have employees walk away one by one.

Some bosses can't bear to let employees go like this, but there is really no money, simply let the staff move the office computer, which is also a compensation.

Later, fewer and fewer people, the office location was moved from the serious office building to the private house, and finally it could not be adhered to and silently disbanded.

Those games that do half, or games that are made but are unattended, become a pile of useless code and garbage, lying quietly in the hard disk, and never remembered.
