Otherworldly Architect

At this time, in the Tulong Baodao studio, as the outside world guessed, it was very silent.

Clearly: "..."

Deputy Chief: "..."

They are looking at the report, the full report of "Iron Horse Glacier" for the past month.

The numbers above are staggering.

That's right, the player churn rate is over 80%.

Among all the games made by Mingyan, it ranks last from the bottom.

But none of that matters.

This month's profit figures are what silenced the two of them.

The monthly flow is 4.5 billion.

To understand this number, it is first necessary to compare horizontally.

For the average studio, one of the criteria for success is that the monthly turnover exceeds 10 million.

For a larger company and a game team with a larger investment, if the monthly turnover exceeds 400 million, it is also a great success worthy of celebration.

As for Bluestar Studio, "League of Legends" has developed into its eighth year, and the current monthly turnover is basically stable between 3 billion and 5 billion, often fluctuating to a certain extent, with the opening of the finals in October as the peak.

Although any game is the peak of profit when it is first launched, the 4.5 billion "Iron Horse Glacier" is really too peak!

The deputy chief of the Dragon Slayer Sword was stunned and stuttered!

"This, this... Are these local tyrants a little too enthusiastic. Shall we hold a rebate activity for them?"

Ming Yan crossed his hands and pondered for a while: "No way, give local tyrants discounts, and they will give bad reviews."

This is an empirical fact that has been verified in "Anti-Sky Technique".

So, the two fell into silence again.

The original intention of the design of "Iron Horse Glacier" is to satisfy the market of local tyrants.

But I don't really want to make that much money!

Ming·Not Bad Money·God of Wealth·Yan: Go away, you **** money.jpg

Too much money is hot, really hot.

Before you know it, Tulong Baodao Studio has already become a giant in the industry - of course, some people call it "the cancer of the industry".

The reason why they never disclose financial statements, go public, or accept any investment is because they expressly fear that some means of encouraging consumption will stimulate the relatively stable market, and bad money will drive out good money.

But now this "Iron Horse Glacier" is really good at making money.

Such a large amount of money is lying in the public account. If it keeps accumulating, even the local government can't help but send someone to ask.

Ming Yan's old father looked at his family's cash cow and was so worried that he almost lost his hair: "How can I spend so much money outside..."

When I got home in the evening, Ming Yan told Xia Cheng about this, and said sadly: "There is no encouragement to spend at all, and these local tyrants are too good at spending money, really, alas!"

Xia Cheng: "..."

Clearly: "?"

Xia Cheng whispered: "My darling, I was wrong, I will halve my game card limit."

Ming Yan: "...how much did you charge?"

Xia Cheng cowardly said: "It's only 200,000...a fraction."

Ming Yan indifferently: "How much is zero?"

Xia Cheng lowered his head and said, "... Four million."

A fraction of two hundred thousand, four million!

Ming Yan made him happy!

Later, the husband and the husband spent the night together and decided to carry out a series of salacious operations.

First of all, change the office location of Tulong Baodao Studio and buy a villa directly next to the five-star tourist attraction next door! All developers have settled in the villa area for game production;

Secondly, open the era of equity incentives, and distribute 10% of the pure profit of "Iron Horse Glacier" to all developers according to performance;

Thirdly, since the development stage of "Iron Horse Glacier" involved the participation of the two leaders of Bluestar Studio, it can be claimed as "outsourcing the planning case", and then 50% of the profits will be returned to Bluestar Studio - this part The profit is transformed into a "development cost", which instantly reduces the profit by half;

In the end, there is still 40% of the profit left. There is really no way to do it. After paying the tax, it still has to go into the pocket of the God of Wealth.

Ming Yan: "Lost... oh no, invest in Morningstar! Perfect."

So the next day, Tulong Baodao Studio posted an announcement.

——After removing all development and operation costs and taxes of "Iron Horse Glacier", 100% of the net profit will be donated to the public welfare fund under the Morningstar Incubation Park for free!

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

At the same time that the industry is fried, players have exposed black question marks.jpg

[Has Zhou Pipi turned sexual? ! Profits have gone to charity entirely? ! ! ! 】

[Look at the evaluation of Dragon Slayer's new game, it is estimated that I won't make a few small money, so I just throw it all out to get a good reputation, and let the netizens stop scolding them...]

[No matter what, I still want to give Tulong Baodao a thumbs up]

[100% estimation is not much money. 】

【Morning Star! Morning Star! Led by Blue Star and invested by God of Fortune, the independent development market in the Sixth Star Province is saved...]

[I just found out that Dragon Slayer has released a new game, and I haven't paid attention to this robber for a long time. What's going on this year, Blue Star is doing mobile games and Tulong is doing PC games? ? 】

[I don't know, but support public welfare, like (thumbs.jpg)]

On the Internet, people are guessing that "Iron Horse Glacier" "can't make a few small money".

The management team of the Morningstar Incubation Park Public Welfare Fund originally signed the contract very relaxedly. By the way, everyone present also signed a confidentiality contract.

It was all lighthearted until they saw the transfer number.

For a moment, everyone was suddenly unable to breathe.

"…………"

excuse me? ! ! ! Several! indivual! little! money! ?

All have, famous paintings cry.jpg

For this donation, Chenxing also issued a notice, and the official thanked the Tulong Baodao studio for its contribution.

Moreover, with Tulong taking the lead, a lot of investment from all walks of life in the industry has come one after another.

There are also bosses who are playing "Iron Horse Glacier", and they have also sent a lot of investment in their own name.

One of the bosses Yuan, who did not want to be named, said by the way: "God of Wealth has invested, which means that this morning star still has a future. I will invest 10 million first and try the small procedures. It is best to do something like the inverse. Games like Tian Jue and Iron Horse Glacier are coming, and then I will add ten times the investment."

On the Internet, there has been a quiet rise of speculation for a while.

[What is the relationship between the genius designer of Dragon Slayer and our leader? Looks like a competitor, but suddenly donates money to Morningstar? 】

【How come these two people seem to have negotiated! On average, one work per year, if you make a mobile game, I will make a mobile game, and if you make a mobile game, I will make a terminal game? 】

[Upstairs, the big companies have to communicate with each other, they will negotiate to avoid bumping the schedule]

[Mixing in quietly, eating a cult in the corner should no one find out...]

[Oh oh oh oh oh I have made up my mind! The amazing talented designer and the imaginative genius designer love each other and kill each other. On the battlefield, you die and I live, and when you go to the battlefield, you ♂ die ♂ I ♂ live. Is there a wife who can expand to two million words? 】

[Let me make a conspiracy theory, this year's "Dragon Hunt" has not reached 200G, so it can't compete for the best of the year, so Tulong released a 3A-level "Iron Horse Glacier"? ? ? 】

[Iron Horse Glacier has such a bad reputation, it's impossible. Well, there is still some hope on the other side. 】

"Dragon Hunter" is not large enough to participate in the competition between 3A-level masterpieces, but it was still shortlisted for the "Boutique Game" award in the lightweight game selection.

To be honest, when the person in charge of League A sent an email notification, he was relieved...

——My dear, I finally didn’t let Blue Star continue to win! The last underpants of the League A have been saved!

And the production teams that were shortlisted for other "boutique games" were very open.

——Oh, competing with Blue Star? That's no drama, just go to the public funds to travel public funds to eat and drink, maybe you can ask the leader to sign or something.

Just like a team from the top league suddenly came to the secondary league for a day trip, the team that played against it would probably have a sense of open-mindedness in their hearts.

Although unable to compete for this year's crown, the atmosphere in the Blue Star studio is still very pleasant.

No one is sorry because:

"Ah, I can finally get a different trophy!"

"It's the same every year, I think our cabinets are too monotonous, and it's nice to suddenly have a boutique."

"Sure enough, the youngest are the most favored."

Everyone happily freed up a central space for the display case dedicated to visiting trophies.

In the future, there will be four "Best of the Year", guarding a "boutique game"!

In the second half of this year, everyone is waiting peacefully.

In June, the first Hunter Contest of Dragon Hunter was held smoothly;

In September, the second expansion piece of "Xiaoke Xing", "Wind and Rain", was officially launched;

In October, the eighth top event of the League of Legends;

In December, the A League Awards Gala was almost a scheduled "Best Game of the Year" award.

During this period, after spending a leisurely May, the designers of Blue Star finally entered the little black house here.

The new project, a game of escape horror + meta elements, codenamed "Healing", has entered the official development stage!

As always, designers are always the first to get busy.

This time, the little black house is different from the previous games.

Really "black".

There are no dazzling little toys, only scary dolls and various props are placed aside.

This is to simulate the atmosphere of horror escape, not to let the designers live too comfortably, but to maximize their inspiration on the other hand.

In such a room, even when Ming Yan stepped in, he felt a little chill behind his back.

Prop master: "Come on, big guys! These dolls are made by each of our props team, and they are all for everyone's love, ah ah!"

A group of dolls looked at them with dark eyes.

Sound effects engineer: "Also, this is a water piano, this is the love that our sound effects team gives to everyone, compare your heart."

When the water piano was put down, just touching it, there was a creepy sound.

Then they happily closed the door of the little dark room.

Designers: "..." QAQ!
