Game development giant

"Brother Li, come and sit down."

In the exquisite private dining room of a Minyang family, Liu Yong pulled Li Yuanhang down with a smile on his face, as affectionate as a brother he had not seen in years.

Today Liu Yong suddenly asked Li Yuanhang to come to this private kitchen, saying that he was invited to eat some of the craftsmanship of the royal kitchen. Until now, Li Yuanhang is still at a loss. After sitting down, he asked suspiciously: "Brother, do you have any Nothing can be said on the phone, I have to come over."

Liu Yong smiled and said: "Brother Li, let you come over this time, mainly because I want to discuss with you the announcement of "Parent Simulator"."

Li Yuanhang was even more puzzled: "Brother, isn't Xuanfa that Kaixia is doing it? How did the previous games do it, can't it be done now?"

"That's not the same," Liu Yong said, "I thought for a long time. In addition to the usual publicity mode of "Parent Simulator", we should also add some unusual publicity methods."

Li Yuanhang held his right hand, raising one finger one finger at a time, and said: "Apart from asking big anchors, celebrities, endorsements, adverts, advertisements, and naval forces, what other unusual methods are there?"

Liu Yong said: “Indeed, there are only a few methods for the current game announcements back and forth, but we can add some micro-innovations to these methods, for example, you, the boss and producer, personally broadcast the publicity.”

"No, no," Li Yuanhang shook his head like a rattle: "Brother, please forgive me. I have never engaged in any live broadcast. If any live broadcast accident happens during the live broadcast, it is really regrettable. It's time."

Li Yuanhang said and glanced at Liu Yong: "Furthermore, Kaixia is responsible for the publicity and distribution work. I don't have any salary or bonus when I go into battle. What do you think I am doing?"

Liu Yong clapped his hands and said, "My brother, what you said is out of the way. I'm not all for the purpose of selling the game. Besides, we only get 20% of the profit. So you, the boss, do a live broadcast to promote what is there. ?"

Liu Yong said mysteriously: "Can’t you play "Parent Simulator" with two people at the same time? So I found a big anchor with its own traffic to raise the child with you. I tell you, this big anchor But a super beauty, maybe by the way, it can solve your lifelong affairs."

Liu Yong patted Li Yuanhang on the shoulder: "In case you two can really make it, I will be your matchmaker, and you will have to thank me well then."

Li Yuanhang said blankly: "Who is this anchor you are talking about?"

"Guess it," Liu Yong pretended to be mysterious: "This anchor is a junior at the Central Conservatory of Music. Not only does she sing well, but she also plays games very well. It is recognized as a sniper by "Special Operations Elite". Master, Shark Live has tens of millions of people who follow her. She usually broadcasts it twice a week, and each time she broadcasts two or three million people..."

Li Yuanhang thought about it carefully. He really couldn't think of any major anchor that met such conditions. Perhaps it was an anchor who had only become popular in the past two years. He shook his head and said, "Brother, I really can't guess."

Liu Yong was stunned for a moment, and then he patted his head: "I forgot, you have been busy playing games for the past two years, and you have no time to watch live broadcasts. Let me tell you about it. I said this is the recent one. The anchor Weiwei, who has only become popular for two years, because she is beautiful and not speaking, singing and playing games is very good, so she quickly became a top anchor. I also said that it took a long time for Xiang to let her agree to live broadcast with you. "Parent Simulator"."

Li Yuanhang has seen many beauties before and after the two lives, and it is unlikely that he would not be able to walk when he saw a beauty. Since Liu Yong is talking about this, it is not a big deal for him to engage in live broadcast and ask: "Brother, when do you plan to let me start the live broadcast?"

Liu Yong had thought about this issue for a long time, and immediately said: "Let’s start live broadcast when "Parent Simulator" is on sale."

Li Yuanhang has nothing to do with him: "Brother, you are a professional propaganda, I will listen to you."

Liu Yong asked at this time: "Brother, when will you tell me when it will be officially released?"

Li Yuanhang sighed: "At least it will be more than half a year, or maybe another year."

"It's going to take so long?" Liu Yong was surprised: "Isn't the content of the Alpha version quite complete this time? Can you fix the BUG and then B test? The rest of the content can be fully released after the official launch Join slowly, and there is no need to finish the content all at once."

Li Yuanhang really awakened the dreamer with a single word. He patted his thigh and almost jumped up with joy: "Yes, I can do an EA test (EarlyAccess, Chinese means Early Access)!"

Huaxia in this world is not as strict with stand-alone games as online games. Online games must not sell virtual items during the test period and must be officially launched within three months.Taking into account that many independent game makers do not have sufficient funds, single-player games are allowed to undergo EA testing after they get the version number, and they can be officially released after three years.

Liu Yong asked: "So when will the EA version be available?"

Li Yuanhang thought for a while: "No matter how it is, it will be a year later. Although it is an EA test, we have to start two rounds of beta testing first, otherwise the player encounters too many bugs when playing the game, which will greatly affect the game experience. ."

Liu Yong said: "Since it is after the new year, then I have to start increasing the capital investment in the announcement. By the way, before the New Year, you'd better go and meet your partner Weiwei in person, so the two should also discuss it. Let’s take a look at the live streaming process."

Li Yuanhang didn't take these words to heart at all. He is now full of thoughts about how to make the EA version, and he said goodbye and returned to Shinhwa Studio.

...

Now that he had decided to make the EA version first, Li Yuanhang stopped the development of subsequent content and began to concentrate on testing.

Li Yuanhang suddenly thought of his own plug-in "Game Development Giant", if not this time he wanted to rush to eliminate the BUG, ​​he almost forgot that he still has such a powerful plug-in.

"Xiao Ai, open my properties panel."

As soon as the voice fell, Li Yuanhang saw that a long-lost light curtain appeared before his eyes, and the light curtain was exactly his own attributes.

Game player: Li Yuanhang.

Sex: Male.

Age: 25 years old.

Level: Medium game developer (3,575,000 experience points required to upgrade).

Prestige: to stand out (the prestige value required to upgrade is 9451000)

Achievements: monthly turnover of one million, the first blast, monthly turnover of over ten million, monthly turnover of over 100 million, number of employees over one hundred, no game opened in a year...

The games that have been developed: "Plague Company", "Monument Valley", "Candle Man", "Bubble Hall", "Situo Beach".

Game under development: "Parent Simulator".

Game points: 768 (each achievement automatically gets 5 points).

Application permission times: 1 (because the player has not opened the upgrade package for more than a month, the package will automatically expire and be exchanged for application permission once).

Li Yuanhang was taken aback, do we have so many points?

But think about it carefully, this point is really not too much. The monthly flow of "Bubble Hall" is basically stable at about 40 million. After a year of operation, it has almost 500 million. The conversion into points is five. Hundred points.

Two months after the launch of "Situ Nobun", it has almost contributed nearly 100 million points, which is about 90 points.

The remaining few stand-alone mobile games have achieved very good results after the release, and the total turnover is less than 200 million, plus some points for achievements, so there are so many points.

The only regret for Li Yuanhang is that for these stand-alone mobile games he made, except for the "Plague Company" that still maintains a certain sales volume, the sales of several other games have been very low, and they can only be sold at discounts. Go some.

The sum of the year-end dividends of several games in the past two years has not exceeded 50,000 yuan per person. Everyone in Shinhwa Studio is looking forward to the release of "Parent Simulator" and is ready to go back to the big family.

However, they must be disappointed. The EA version will be launched after the year, and the official release is estimated to be after the middle of next year. If you want to go online, you will not be able to take the year-end dividend.

Since there are so many points, Li Yuanhang directly exchanged the points for the Super Optimization Master and the Super Network Technology Master, preparing to give the "Parent Simulator" a full-body check, and then another wave of weight loss, so it should be foolproof.

This is it!
