Chapter 70 Player Quality
As expected.
The new version update content of "Star Emperor" quickly aroused heated discussions among players.
"I heard a friend mention it at noon, and I thought I heard it wrongly, but when I got home and played the game, I saw that Brother Ba, are you serious?"
"Brother Ba, fly with confidence, the fans will always be with you!"
"I thought that coming up with a co-branded graphics card was the limit for Brother Ba, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated Brother Ba..."
"Stop scolding me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for not spending money. Look at what you've done to Brother Ba!"
"To be honest, the price is quite affordable. If you are planning to buy a new graphics card, you can't go wrong with Xianyu Digital."
The player community is still very friendly.
The main thing is that Chen Ba's game mall doesn't sell game props or game skins. Can this be called in-app purchases? This is clearly out-of-pocket purchases !
Jiang Bin, editor of a well-known single-player portal website, wrote in the latest issue of the game news column: "Although it is quite funny that a game studio sells graphics cards, it can also be seen that Tianba Studio did not make much money from developing "Star Emperor"..."
If Tianba Studio made a lot of money from in-app purchases or had high game sales, would it be necessary for it to do this? Obviously, the "Star Emperor" project did not bring much revenue to Tianba Studio.
This news report from Game Starry Sky quickly gained recognition and resonance from the majority of "Starry Sky Emperor" players.
Some players probably thought that "Star Emperor" was indeed a very fun game and it would not hurt to support it through in-app purchases, so after this report came out, they spent real money to buy Originium.
Especially the player [爱开库林], who directly recharged 200,000 RMB worth of Originium to express his attitude.
This touched Chen Ba deeply.
Oh, God, an in-app purchase model was created, and finally money was made! Although the total turnover is not high, at least it can be seen that some players really like Star Emperor.
Maybe this is what is called a die-hard fan!
It is impressive that the number of die-hard fans of "Star Emperor" may not be large, not even a fraction of the popular games. But these die-hard fans are all immortal kings and emperors, and at the very least, they are mortal immortals!
What does this mean? It means the quality of the core players is very high!
Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors, what level of big guys are they? With such a group of die-hard fans, it should be no problem to say that the average quality of fans of "Star Emperor" is the best in the entire network.
"3090, 3080, 4080, 4090... Many of these flagship graphics card users are Star Emperor players."
Yang Dong grinned and said, "We are very grateful to have such a group of high-quality fans' recognition. Even if our new game is priced at several hundred yuan, they will still buy it."
"You are right, but this group is too small."
Chen Ba shook his head.
It is undeniable that the player group of "Star Emperor" is indeed of high quality, top-notch leeks! But because of this, the number of this group will not be too large.
This is also the reason why, although "Star Emperor" is very popular, its cumulative sales have not exceeded 500,000 copies.
Yes, sales were less than 500,000 copies.
It is not as good as the previous two mini-games. The only good news is that the standard version of "Star Emperor" is priced as high as 50 yuan, so although the sales volume is poor, the revenue is still good.
"Then this report..."
After finding out from Brother Ba that "Star Emperor" actually made good profits, Xiao Lu pointed at Jiang Bin's column newsletter and asked, "Brother Ba, did you pay for the soft article?"
"Of course!"
Chen Ba said calmly, "If we don't show our pity, how can we motivate so many players to spend money to buy Originium?"
Xiao Lu: “…”
It's Brother Ba who is the dog!
Not only ordinary players, but also everyone in the studio thought that the revenue of "Star Emperor" was not ideal, which made Brother Ba very worried every day and he went out to get drunk every night.
Little did I know that Brother Ba had already started laughing like crazy.
“Ahem!”
After clearing his throat, Chen Ba continued, "Although "Star Emperor" made money, you shouldn't be too happy. It really didn't make much."
"Given the slow sales growth of Study Simulator and Living With a Family Simulator, the studio is in desperate need of developing a new game that can make money."
It is definitely not a good idea to just live off the savings.
For a small team of 10 people like Tianba Studio, although the daily expenses are not high, it also needs a stable source of income and cannot rely on one hit game to make ends meet.
You know, no matter how popular a game is, there will come a day when it will fall.
Most importantly, the three games under Tianba Studio were only a small hit, not a real big hit. So even if Chen Ba wanted to rest on his laurels, he had no money to live on.
"That's true, but..."
Yang Dong seemed to have thought of something, frowning and asked, "Is there something we have forgotten?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Is there?"
Chen Ba scratched his head and thought about it, but couldn't come up with an answer.
There is no need to worry about the old game, the new game "Star Emperor" is on the right track, and the next step is just to launch the new characters on time.
If it was something really important, how could he forget it with such a good memory?
"Yes, Tianba Haoyuan!"
Seeing Brother Ba pretending to be stupid, Zhong Shengwei couldn't stand it anymore. For the sake of those poor owners, he risked his life to advise: "The players are waiting for the new map of "Living in Other People's Home Simulator" that we didn't finish before."
How could I forget this? I have collected the down payment and paid off the players’ mortgages, but the house has not been built yet. I can’t let the players down! “If you hadn’t reminded me, I would have forgotten.”
Chen Ba showed an awkward but polite smile and waved his hand: "Then I'll listen to you. Let's finish the first phase of Tianba Haoyuan project first, and then consider other things."
"Okay! Then..."
"Tianba Haoyuan Phase 1?"
Yang Dong, Xiao Lu and Zhong Shengwei all widened their eyes and looked at Brother Ba.
What the hell? Phase 1 means this thing has phases 2 and 3?
"Of course! Have you ever seen a real estate project that was completed after only one phase? We want to build the highest-end residential community in Jiangning, so the scale must be large."
Chen Ba patiently explained to the others, "To put it simply, the new map is very large, and the area that players can explore is also very wide. Only a portion of it will be unlocked in the first phase, and the second and third phases will be unlocked one after another."
Phase 1 is a high-rise building with elevators, Phase 2 is a small house with stairs, and Phase 3 is a single-family villa! Someone, come and feed the young master some cakes...
Now that we have moved into high-rise buildings, we must be looking forward to houses or even villas . Although houses and villas are a bit expensive and are also pre-sale properties, Tianba Real Estate is very conscientious and supports loans of up to 100 years.
"Houses and villas..."
Xiao Lu muttered to himself, "When will we get a school district house and tie the admission qualification to the property certificate, so that people who are not registered in the place where they live cannot enroll?"
It should be available soon.
