Chapter 134 Tianba Mansion is completed

Last fall, Tianba Studio released a "Banquet" DLC for "Living with Others Simulator", which sold well.

After that, the game also opened a creative workshop, providing a MOD editor to players, further enriching and improving the game content.

But this is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

Compared to these things, the majority of players would rather hear the good news of the topping-out and delivery of "Tianba Haoyuan". For them, this is the most practical action.

“It’s time to finish!”

After two and a half years of practice, this project, once hailed as an unfinished cyber project that trapped countless players, finally ushered in its final round of updates.

Really the last round! Chen Ba had been scolded for so long, he really didn't want to be scolded again. It was said to be the last round of updates, and that was the last round. After that, the Tianba Haoyuan project was completely completed.

As the news came out, the "real estate transaction" section, which had been stagnant, instantly exploded.

"Damn, the sun is rising from the west? Brother Ba finally remembered Tianba Mansion by Daming Lake?"

"It's Tianba Haoyuan's delivery day. Don't forget to tell your father during the family sacrifice! My good brother who once brought me into this pit, did you see it? The house you bought has been delivered!"

"I have already immigrated to Shen'en Continent and have a son and a daughter, and you told me that the third phase of Tianba Haoyuan has been delivered?"

"Zhao! I have to download the game again and go in to see the new house I have been looking forward to for two and a half years..."

"Oh no! I haven't played the game for a long time. Is my mortgage overdue?"

It's really embarrassing, isn't it? When Chen Ba saw these posts on Tianba Community, his face turned black.

Is it that exaggerated?

The Tianba Haoyuan project was indeed delayed for a long time, with the entire project cycle lasting nearly three years. However, Tianba Haoyuan is also divided into several phases! The first phase of high-rise buildings and the second phase of small houses have been delivered long ago, and the so-called finishing touches are only for the third phase of villa projects.

Looking forward to a new house in two and a half years?

What are you waiting for! The third phase of the project has only been going on for a year from the pre-sale of the houses to now, so how can it be said that there are two and a half years of practice?

These people are just being rude.

However, no matter how awkward the criticism is, there is one thing that he is not wrong about, that is, the total construction time of [Tianba Haoyuan] is outrageous, almost catching up with building a house in reality.

"Living With Other People Simulator" was updated again after a year, and it was a major update. In addition to causing excitement among players, some game information media and bloggers also reprinted and reported on the matter.

Among them, a well-known game UP host with three million fans in Pili Pili even made a special video to give everyone a popular science about the past and present of [Tianba Haoyuan].

Chen Ba also saw this video.

[Why can a house delivery notice cause players to cheer? What kind of property is Tianba Haoyuan and what kind of story is behind it? ]

"Two days ago, I was playing a big brawl with my friends, and the Sword Demon God came down to earth and hit four people with one blow..."

"While playing, a friend suddenly told me that Tianba Haoyuan had been completed and delivered! At that time, my forehead was full of question marks. I didn't understand why he was so excited?"

"After I asked him, I found out what happened and finally understood why he was so excited. He was even happier than when he got a pentakill!"

"Time goes back three years ago..."

"My good friend bought a domestic simulation game "Living under Others' Fence Simulator" after reading a report on "Game Star". "

"At the time, he had a monthly salary of 7,000 yuan, and he was neither married nor had a house."

"This game has a very special feature, that is, the version preview is not released through videos or announcements, but the pre-sale of new buildings is opened in the game..."

"Yes, that property is Tianba Haoyuan, the beginning of the dream!"

"It is really novel and special to let players know the updated content of the version in advance by pre-selling the houses under construction. So my friend bought a house in Tianba Haoyuan without hesitation."

"In the end, I waited for half a year! Although it took a long time, the house was finally delivered. My friend was getting married at that time, so we joked that we should buy a wedding house in the game."

“So he took a fancy to the Tianba Haoyuan Phase III villas, which were still in the conceptual stage at the time…”

"Time flies. Not only did my friend get married, his son is already one year old! When he got married, his family paid for him to buy a new house in Lin'an."

"He said that the houses he bought in real life have been delivered and renovated and he has moved in, but the Tianba Haoyuan Phase 3 villa he bought in the game has not been seen yet..."

What a beast! After listening to the UP host's narration, many viewers felt sorry for his friend.

The houses I bought in real life have been delivered and occupied, so why is it that there has been no news about the houses I bought in the game for such a long time? "…So now you can understand why my friend was so excited when he heard the news that the new version of "Living with Others Simulator" was released and Tianba Haoyuan was completed and delivered?"

A barrage of comments echoed with “understanding”.

After the UP host introduced the "Tianba Haoyuan" project based on his friend's personal experience, he then led everyone to visit this cyber game community that took two and a half years to build from the perspective of an ordinary player.

You’re right.

Although the developer seemed unreliable as it took so long to hand over the houses, the Tianba Haoyuan community is indeed well developed.

Especially the second phase of small houses and the third phase of villa complex, they are built with real style and are not shoddy products to fool people.

Finally, the UP host concluded: "In the entire history of the game, there should be no more legendary community than Tianba Haoyuan."

Isn't this nonsense!

Other games don’t sell houses! Even if they do, they don’t sell pre-sale houses! Even if they do, the construction period can’t be longer than Tianba Haoyuan…

All in all, Tianba Haoyuan is indeed a legendary and difficult to replicate "commercial housing" project in the history of games.

Looking at the entire industry, which game developer would sell pre-sale properties in the game, and delay the delivery date for such a long time?

There is no such thing before and there will be no such thing after! No wonder players are so excited. If you bought a house that has been unfinished for nearly two and a half years and it is suddenly announced that it is completed and delivered one day, you will also be so excited.

"What a sin!"

After watching this video, Chen Ba couldn't help laughing when he thought about the expression of the UP host's friend who had finally waited for the house to be delivered, but when he entered the game, he found that the mortgage had not been paid off yet.

It's so dramatic!

Fortunately, Tianba Studio is not focusing on the game "Living Under Someone Else's House Simulator" now, otherwise these players would continue to suffer.

Is Tianba Mansion completely finished? No problem! A large number of new projects such as Tianba Taoyuan Mansion, Tianba Century City, and Tianba Xuefu are waiting to start construction!

The mortgage is enough to pay for your whole life...

If there were no new games such as "Star Emperor", "God's Grace Continent" and "Love Staff", it would not be difficult to draw a conclusion.

Tianba Studio will definitely take this path, making these players wash dishes for a lifetime and pay off their mortgages for a lifetime! Even more bold! Tianba Studio, which is running out of ideas, really has no good ideas, and might end up making something like "Living Simulator 2".

Of course, this is a parallel world line.

At least in this main world line, Tianba Studio lives a comfortable life and does not consider living under someone else's roof 2 or studying hard 2...

By the way.

The proposal of whether to make a sequel to the old game has been discussed within the studio.

The simulator of studying hard is the life in junior high school, the simulator of living under someone else's roof is the life in high school...If there is an opportunity in the future, it is possible that a simulation and development game about "college life" will be released.

However, the idea is not mature.

The main problem is that the two simulation games, "Study Hard" and "Living Under Someone Else's Roof", are not very popular, and launching sequels is a bit of a thankless task.

If a sequel is really going to be released, priority should be given to games like "Star Emperor" and "Divine Grace Continent" which have good sales and popularity.

Moreover, the sales and popularity of sequels are generally not as good as those of their predecessors. This is something that only game developers who are just trying to live off their past success would do.

Tianba Studio is currently in a stage of rapid development. Chen Ba is determined to make progress and it is not time for him to lay down and retire.

So don't even think about a sequel.

…

Although there were some problems in the middle, the official version of "Love Staff" still needs to be released, which is also the focus of the studio's recent work.

Compared with the early access version, the official version of the game has not changed much, it's basically just a change of name.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The price has not changed! Chen Ba originally wanted to raise the price, but after realizing that Love Adviser has become the favorite dating platform for young people, he suddenly dared not raise the price.

But having said that.

The price in the domestic region has not increased, but the price of "Love Staff" in foreign regions has increased a lot.

"Outside area?"

"Does Love Adviser have players overseas as well?" Xiao Lu asked curiously.

"Yes, I have!"

Chen Ba explained with a smile: "Although the total number of players from other regions is definitely not as large as that in China, there are still tens of thousands of them..."

That's not the point.

The key point is that overseas, the nature of the game "Love Staff", including the game environment, is completely different from that in China.

How should I put it…

Chinese people generally express their emotions in a more reserved way, and the Internet is not a channel that is very trustworthy.

But foreigners have more fun.

According to Chen Ba's observation, the gameplay of "Love Advisers", or the dating and marriage function, is similar to a "one-night stand simulator" in the hands of foreign players.

We just met today, made an appointment to go somewhere and then went to get a room for a party the next day.

It's not surprising! Foreigners' understanding of the game is indeed different from what Chen Ba thought. Their attitude towards the game "Love Advisor" is also more inclined to "making friends".

Simply put, they play this game with the idea of ​​making friends.

As for making friends, why the sudden move to sex? Come on! This is our unique way of making friends. Don’t you think it’s cool?

“Isn’t this bad?”

After listening to Brother Ba's narration, Xiao Lu frowned and said, "With such a mess, wouldn't our game become a dating app?"

"I understand what you mean, but please listen to me first..."

Chen Ba explained: "Their gameplay is more like the type where you get on the bus first and buy the ticket later. They get to know each other first and then go back to play games to cultivate their relationship."

Huh? Xiao Lu was shocked.

Is this okay? Or is this the so-called difference between the two, due to differences in geography and culture? "You know what, the number of couples brought together by Love Advisor in foreign servers is more than you think! The success rate is also higher..."

Chen Ba was also helpless.

Although there are few foreign players, their games have a kind of magic that can bring these people together.

Tens of thousands of foreigners eventually brought together nearly a thousand couples of players, 200 of whom even got married quickly.

Doesn't sound like much? But don't forget that there are only tens of thousands of overseas players. With such a small base, the high success rate is enough to show the magic of "Love Advisor".

It is said that in a country with a declining birthrate, an aging population, and a serious negative growth in the number of newborns, some people are calling for "Love Adviser" to be included in the social welfare system so that everyone can play this game.

Yes, everyone!

All citizens who have reached the legal age for marriage can apply for a copy of the Love Adviser CDkey, whether you are a young adult or an old man...

certainly!

After all, the person who made this appeal is not a big shot, nor a big internet celebrity or opinion leader, and no one pays attention to him.

But from this incident, we can see that the game "Love Advisers" can really increase the marriage rate and fertility rate for some countries and regions.

It is a great merit!

It is a pity that no matter how magical "Love Staff" is, it cannot change the essential fact that it is a love-development game.

However, this type of game has little presence overseas. After all, people prefer FPS and classic Mount & Blade games rather than Galgame.

"What about Neon?"

Xiao Lu suddenly thought, Brother Ba said that Galgame is not very popular overseas, so what about in Japan, the second dimension country?

As the region that loves playing Galgame the most in the world, it makes no sense that no one would play Love Advisor? "Of course there are!"

"There are quite a lot of Japanese players, and they have brought together many couples. This kind of love-development game does have a big market."

Chen Ba couldn't help but laugh and said, "The most popular overseas market for "Love Advisor" is definitely Japan."

Neon has about 50,000 players.

Among them, hundreds of people found their partners through "Love Advisor" and successfully got rid of being single. This ratio is already very good.

But there are too many similar games in Japan.

Although the unique player-to-player strategies and excellent matching mechanism of "Love Adviser" are powerful, it is still difficult to become famous.

It mainly relies on word of mouth.

But word of mouth is too inefficient, and it is mostly spread by male players, while girls are not willing to share it with their girlfriends.

This is not just the case overseas.

In fact, in China, there is also a phenomenon of more men than women, that is, there are too few female players. Even if there is an excellent matching mechanism, what should we do if there is no suitable candidate of the opposite sex? (End of this chapter)
