God-level Game Designers Start From Scaring the Crying Anchor

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the first Magic Capital International Game Exhibition came to a perfect conclusion.

However, the interest of the players has obviously not subsided because of this, and it can still be seen everywhere on the Internet. Everyone has a heated discussion about this exhibition.

Upon seeing this, the organizer, Misty Asgard, did not waste the waste heat, and launched a poll to ask players which game they are most looking forward to playing at the exhibition.

Although there are no prizes in this vote, let alone the first place in the vote, it can be released immediately, but players still participate.

Looking around, the top five games are all behemoths, and players are not surprised by this.

However, the ninth-ranked game is what players are talking about, because this game is exactly "Cup Head" by Xun Ze.

A game completely developed by an individual has surpassed many well-known game companies and star game designers, ranking ninth in popularity.

If it weren't for the previous games, the background is really rich, otherwise, maybe even they would be pulled down by "Cup Head".

Shortly after the voting ended, the official version of "Cup Head" was released on the steampunk game platform, and it was still exclusive.

At the moment when the game was released, countless players poured into the Steam Friends game platform, which caused the platform to experience obvious freezes.

After Lin Song learned about the situation, he immediately patted 5,000 yuan on the programmer's brother's desk, saying that if he could solve the stuck situation within half an hour, the money would be taken away.

The programmer's younger brother immediately turned on his firepower, his eyes seemed to glow with red light, and it took only 20 minutes to restore the platform to normal.

After solving the problem, the programmer brother collapsed on the chair, but he didn't forget to put five thousand dollars in his pocket, and he laughed from time to time, which made people a little worried. .

After returning to normal, Lin Song kept an eye on the sales of Cuphead the whole time.

One hundred thousand copies an hour.

150,000 copies in two hours.

180,000 copies in three hours.

…

Twenty-four hours later, the sales of Cuphead were counted, with a total of 300,000 copies sold.

You must know that after much consideration, Xun Ze raised the price of "Tea Cup Head" to 60 yuan per copy.

That is to say, in just one day, the revenue of "Cup Head" reached 18 million.

This is only the first day. According to this trend, it is not impossible for "Cup Head" to sell one million copies a month.

After getting the data, Lin Song called Xun Ze immediately.

"Brother Xun, the sales of "Cup Head" exceeded 300,000 in 24 hours. You have succeeded again!"

Xun Ze, who had just returned home, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Really! That's really nice."

This data is indeed enough to make Xun Ze happy, but it is far from enough to make him dance.

Hearing Xun Ze's tone, Lin Song also calmed down a little, not as excited as he imagined.

He secretly said that he was still a little impatient. He was in his thirties, and he wasn't as stable as Xun Ze.

"Brother Xun, you are so confident! I'm not surprised at all." Lin Song said with a smile.

"Ah... It's alright! Because I was too excited during "Ghost Fear". With experience, I must be calmer than the first time."

"Brother Xun, you are being modest!" Lin Song laughed, and then asked again, "Brother Xun, what are your plans for the future?"

"I plan to retire the house I'm renting now and move to the magic capital." Xun Ze said.

He is an orphan, and the house he lives in is rented, so he has nothing to miss at all.

As an international metropolis, Magic City has higher development space and tolerance than where he lives now.

Not to mention, many game companies at home and abroad are operating in the magic capital.

Almost all large-scale exhibitions are basically held in the magic capital.

If Xun Ze moved to the magic capital, many things would be much easier to do.

In addition, Lin Song is also in the magic capital, so he has some support.

It is worth mentioning that in order to keep Xun Ze, Lin Song has signed a contract with Xun Ze.

In the future, as long as Xun Ze's games are released on the steampunk game platform and are sold exclusively, the commission will be reduced to 10%, and the maximum resource tilt will be enjoyed.

In the contract, there are no hard requirements. Xun Ze has to be bound to the steampunk game platform, which gives Xun Ze great freedom.

Although this way, the steampunk game platform will make a lot of money, but Lin Song feels that everything is worth it.

In his opinion, as long as he has a good relationship with Xun Ze, there will be more and more good games that can be enjoyed exclusively on the steampunk platform in the future.

Not to mention it, let's just say that the recently released "Cup Head" has already given Lin Song a taste of the sweetness.

Hearing that Xun Ze was going to move to the Magic Capital, Lin Song was also very happy. After solving the distance problem, it was easier to ask questions.

Thinking of this, Lin Song said, "Brother Xun, let me ask you about the house. It just so happens that I have a friend who is a real estate agent, so I will definitely choose a good house for you."

"Brother Lin, I'm sorry to trouble you. But for the time being, I can only rent, and I can't buy a house."

Xun Ze intends to live in the center of the magic city, but with the housing price of the magic city, even if his current savings is about 10 million, it is probably not enough to buy a house that he likes.

"Don't worry, leave it to my brother, I will definitely handle this for you."

"OK."

After the two chatted for a while, Xun Ze hung up the call and started to pack up, preparing to leave the house and head to the magic capital.

At the same time, the majority of players are suffering from the "happiness" brought to them by Cuphead.

"I vomited! How can a piranha jump out of this place!" Hanmei, who was broadcasting live, almost dropped the handle.

"Sister Han, just give up your skills!"

"The next-door broadcast started later than you, and now the progress is faster than you."

"Yeah! It's still too late to get a refund!"

When she saw the barrage urging her to refund, Hanmei slammed the table and said, "I'll put my words here today, whoever asks me to refund again, I'll mute him for a month. Brother Xun's game is very fun. , it's my own fault that I can't get through it, and I will never refund it!"

Although Hanmei's words were obviously impure, she really felt that Cuphead was a very fun game.

Although "Cup Head" is not scary at all, the challenge is not lower than "Ghost Fear", or even worse.

Don't look at the retro style of "Cup Head", but the difficulty of the game is that Hanmei has played, and among all the horizontal shooting games, it is the most difficult.

And the difficulty of the game is not simply piling up the number of monsters, or making the screen full of bullets, increasing the difficulty without thinking.

Whether it's the mobs or the boss's attack methods, there are rules and rhythms.

Players need to adapt to this regularity and rhythm. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

That is to say, in addition to buying skills and props for Cuphead to strengthen game characters, players themselves must also grow up.

If the reaction ability is not good, just use memory, many places rely on the back panel, and you can still pass the level.

Therefore, in the process of the game, even if the player is killed by the boss, there is always a feeling that I can succeed next time.

But often the next time, the player will either make a mistake and be killed, or be killed by the boss's new move.

When the players reacted, it was too early for the refund time of the game. Even if they were upset, they could only play hard.

But I have to say that when a player defeats a boss who has been stuck for a long time, the sense of achievement and refreshment is irreplaceable for similar games.

Half an hour later, Han Mei finally defeated two frog bosses.

She jumped up with an "Ow" in excitement, but she forgot that she was still wearing headphones. Not only did she break the cable of the headphones, but she also knocked over something on the table, and she was in a hurry.

At the same time, Xun Ze, who was drinking water at home, heard the voice of the system in his mind.
