"Look, how are sales now?"
Honghuang Studio.
Just half an hour after the game was released, Lao Song hurried over from afar.
This game is an important project that their Liming team spent a lot of effort to produce and tested countless times.
Plus other colleagues are waiting to see their jokes.
Even he was very nervous at this moment and couldn't wait to ask about the sales situation.
"Boss Song, the situation seems not very optimistic..."
The employee responsible for collecting market data hesitated slightly and opened the game sales background on the computer.
Just one glance.
Lao Song saw the red deficit.
Not only did the sales of "Need for Speed" not increase, they actually decreased!
"What's going on? Sales have dropped?"
Old Song frowned and looked a little ugly.
"It should be that the pre-sale refund is offset by the number of games purchased." The employee hesitated and said.
"It means that the sales volume in half an hour can't keep up with the number of pre-sale refunds??" Lao Song's voice suddenly rose a few points.
"Yes...yes, this is the only possibility."
"Damn it!" Lao Song yelled angrily, "It seems that our market forecast for racing games is still too optimistic."
They invested a lot into this game.
For example, music customization, original illustrations, model materials, and labor are all a huge sum of money.
If they lose money, although it won't hurt their muscles and bones, it will slow down their pace and be very detrimental to the subsequent market changes.
"You continue to collect statistics first, I'll go find Mr. Chen!"
After saying a few words, Lao Song hurried towards Chen Lin's office, leaving only a group of employees looking up with worried expressions on their faces.
The previous games were so successful that they almost forgot about the brutal competition in the game market.
Now that the results of "Need for Speed" have come out, it has undoubtedly given them a blow and woke them up from their complacency.
.......
"Haha, let me tell you, releasing the game at this time, isn't it just looking for death?"
"Honghuang is too big this time. It doesn't matter how many manufacturers are preparing to release new games by the end of the year. Players are keeping their wallets tight and waiting."
"You are still too young and you are destined to become a victim of this wave of competition."
Many game manufacturers who have been paying attention to information in the industry have received news about the failure of the ancient racing game, and they are gloating about the misfortune.
Those colleagues who were worried about the sudden rise of the ancient army couldn't help laughing, and their worries were swept away in an instant.
However.
But they don't know.
At this time, a large number of players who had received the news were gathering in major racing and follow-up live broadcast rooms, and the scene was very lively.
"Quick, three more episodes of CG animation have been released, let everyone take a look."
"After waiting for a week, I finally waited for the animation ban to be lifted. I can't wait."
"I didn't even attend the afternoon class, just to see the ending."
"If this plot continues, it should be almost the final showdown, right?"
"Decide who is the fastest down Mount Akina today!"
"Go, go, go!"
This day is destined to be a carnival for the players, and also a carnival for the fans.
As soon as the news of the lifting of the ban was released, a large number of players and followers were already waiting in the live broadcast room with great anticipation.
Even the anchor Ouyang Xiao, who didn't know much about racing, had bright eyes at this time and quickly clicked on the follow-up page.
She didn't watch this animation just for racing.
But I was deeply attracted by the love story in the animation.
It's obviously just a racing animation, but it depicts three completely different emotional lines.
The male protagonist and the girl sitting in the Mercedes-Benz are young but encounter the pain of green tea.
The excitement of the second male lead and the girl he met for the first time, but the regret of gradually becoming estranged because of a man-made car accident.
Then when a mediocre male driver meets a female driver, and finally discovers that the other person is a top speed driver, the huge gap brings about unwillingness and escape.
Every relationship doesn't last long.
But the character transformation is vividly portrayed.
Ouyang Xiaodu began to fall in love with this animation involuntarily.
"I'm also looking forward to the next plot. Since everyone is here, let's watch it together."
After speaking to the camera, Ouyang Xiao directly clicked the play button to put the CG animation in full screen into the live broadcast room.
Beyond everyone's expectations.
The plot before the final battle is actually the scene where the male protagonist bumps into the girl getting out of the Mercedes-Benz.
When the male protagonist stood in the distance and stared at the Mercedes-Benz for a while, and then left silently, the entire live broadcast room was boiling.
"I giao! It turns out that I am really a green tea girl!"
"Ah, I always thought the heroine called her father was her biological father, but it turned out to be her godfather?"
"So I went to see my father three times a month ago, wouldn't it..."
"You're being kept and you flirt with the male protagonist, and you still pretend to be so innocent."
"The warrior of pure love is furious! (Rage)"
Even Ouyang Xiao didn't expect that the male protagonist's emotional line would end in this way, causing the audience to curse crazily.
Fortunately, the plot of one episode ended here, so she quickly clicked to play the next episode and entered the final plot.
The audience, who were still enthusiastic at first, gradually calmed down after seeing this, and became immersed in watching the show again.
When the game finally begins, all the characters gather at the top of Akina Mountain.
After all three episodes were played, the familiar prompt popped up again.
[Playback failed. You must clear the first ten levels of the game "Need for Speed: Drift" before you can play all the content. 】
"???Is this the end?"
"The game has just started, and this interruption is too uncomfortable!"
"Damn it! Did the designer learn this fragment from the author of Qidian!?"
"The last three episodes are still included in the fee and cannot be broadcast live."
"No, I have to see the ending today. It's just a game. I'll buy it!"
"It makes us look like we are just watching the show for free. Buying games is like buying a big membership."
The audience cursed a lot, but their bodies were very honest. They exited the live broadcast room one after another and went to the steam platform to buy games.
As more and more people watch CG animations, more and more people flock to the steam platform.
After all, in their opinion, although 198 yuan is a lot, it is already a very good deal to buy a game and an entire animation at one time.
So very quickly.
A strange scene happened.
The sales of the game, which had been gradually sluggish, began to gradually pick up one hour after its release, and the magnitude was getting bigger and bigger.
...
"Mr. Chen! Director Song! It's gone up. Game sales are starting to go up!"
The shout full of surprise interrupted Chen Lin and Lao Song who were discussing in the office.
The employee responsible for statistical market data hurried in with a freshly printed form.
"Sales have increased? What happened?"
Chen Lin and Song Song both raised their heads, looking a little surprised.
They were just discussing how to increase game sales.
Because even Chen Lin himself can't guarantee that the CG animation method will work. After all, he can't influence the players' thoughts.
But now it seems.
He seems to have made the right bet again.
What we need to see next is whether their games can retain players.
