Chapter 205 Humph
July 10th.
Summer Special Promotion and new games announced by Linmu Studio will be unlocked soon.
On this day,
Linmu Studio did not continue to release games.
Instead, it announced discounts for existing games on the platform.
Although it was said at the beginning that whether third-party games participate or not is decided by the producers,
Linmu Studio still has some face.
Finally, including the two games born from the Greenlight program, "Journey" and "Dangerous Party" and most of the third-party games that have been approved and put on the shelves during this period, they all participated in the Summer Special Promotion.
Of course,
the discounts on their games are not as big as those of Linmu Studio's first-party games.
Most of the promotion efforts are between 10% and 20%.
But this is enough.
Linmu Studio has already done the face-saving project.
Eight new games, all -90%, what else do you want.
The time came to noon.
The Summer Special Promotion officially began.
It was launched simultaneously overseas.
This is also the first promotion of the Vaporwave game platform.
The game lineup is not huge.
Most of them are not large-scale games.
But this event still attracted a lot of attention, mainly because Linmu Studio suddenly released eight games, and the high-yield operation was too eye-catching. And the concept of game promotion is actually quite novel.
When the summer special promotion started and eight new games were released,
someone bought the game.
The ranking list shows that
the most popular game on the platform is the horror game "Shadow" in addition to "Battle Royale".
After all, this game is also not expensive, but the graphics are the best.
Players think that buying this game is the most profitable.
Then they bought it.
But there are some funny things.
According to the background data of Linmu Studio.
"Shadow" is the game that most people buy, but also the most people quit midway...
More than 50%.
Basically, these people slipped away after opening the game for more than ten minutes.
Because many players bought this game just with the mentality of buying it and making money, many people have no idea of their tolerance for playing 3D horror games, and they were directly taught a lesson.
But I don’t know why they couldn’t play it anymore, but they didn’t get a refund...
The time came to one o’clock in the afternoon
. The summer special promotion was only one hour away.
Battle Royale, which was not among the eight new games released by Linmu Studio and had little promotion, was ranked first by selling 40,000 copies thanks to the popularity of the eight new games.
Shadow followed closely behind, selling more than 30,000 copies.
...
At the same time.
Du Kaiding also sat in his seat and opened the Vaporwave game platform.
He glanced at the event page for the summer special promotion, and then bought all the eight new games released by Linmu Studio.
The total cost was less than 100 yuan.
Since Linmu Studio released the fifth and sixth new games, he also guessed the purpose of Linmu Studio.
Make the game by yourself, and then lose money to hold a summer special promotion to make up for the problem of insufficient game library and insufficient variety of game types caused by the review mechanism.
At the same time, promote your own game platform.
This is a good purpose.
But Du Kaiding still doesn't think this activity is good, thinking that Linmu Studio is full of idiots.
Because... his game didn't go up.
It didn't pass the review.
Linmu Studio believes that his game has fatal flaws and gave suggestions for modification, hoping that they can modify it before putting it on the shelves.
When he received the call, his mentality collapsed. He couldn't help but speak a few words loudly, and then hung up the phone.
After a long wait for review, he finally got such a result.
Everyone would be resentful.
He really wants to put his game on the Tianhu game platform now.
Because he thinks his game is fine.
Although... Linmu Studio's online games are good, and the sales of the two games born from the Greenlight plan are also good.
But in his opinion, the main credit for the two games born from the Greenlight plan is still the producer of the game itself.
Linmu Studio knows nothing about independent games and stand-alone games!
After all, if they don't even approve their own games, what else can they not know?
However, although he was very unhappy... he was not optimistic about the strategy of Linmu Studio...
but for the eight new games launched by Linmu Studio, Du Kaiding was still interested, mainly to make up for it and prove that Linmu Studio really didn't understand stand-alone independent games.
After Du Kaiding paid for the game, he patiently waited for the eight games to be downloaded.
Prepare to play these eight games one by one.
Write a good letter to Linmu Studio...
Soon.
The game was downloaded.
The first game he chose was also Shadow, because it had the best graphics and was indeed the most eye-catching. After all, it was a 3D horror game.
He opened the game.
He looked at the flashing Linmu Studio LOGO and the weird start interface that appeared immediately afterwards.
"Humph!"
Du Kaiding snorted disdainfully and sneered: "How scary can a horror game made by an online game developer be?"
Then.
He confidently clicked Start.
... Ten minutes later.
A drop of cold sweat appeared on Du Kaiding's forehead. With a gulp, he swallowed his saliva gently.
He leaned back, carefully holding the mouse, and controlled the game character forward.
Suddenly.
A ball rolled through the corridor, and the door on the right opened automatically.
The character controlled by Du Kaiding looked uncontrollably into the automatically opened door.
The screen flickered, and the ball that rolled in suddenly turned into a human head. The bloodshot eyes of the human head stared at him, and then suddenly flew up and appeared in front of him.
He saw the human head that directly occupied the entire screen.
"Fuck!!!"
Du Kaiding roared, and then directly pressed Alt+F4.
The game is closed.
Looking at his computer page.
Du Kai calmed down and said in silence for a moment: "Hmph."
He snorted coldly, wiped the sweat from his palms on his trouser legs without leaving a trace, and then reopened the Vaporwave game platform. His eyes swept across the eight games he had just downloaded, and directly uninstalled "Shadow"...
He was also the kind of person who didn't know how to play.
"Average."
Du Kaiding commented calmly and stubbornly, and then his eyes swept across the other seven games. After a while, he was ready to play the next one.
This time he looked at the game called "Sword and Blade".
After all, it is a martial arts theme.
This kind of theme will interest every Chinese.
But just when he was about to open it.
He thought of the feeling of playing "Shadow" just now, and then thought of "Sword and Blade" seems to have some weird elements...
He coughed dryly.
Move the mouse, pass "Sword and Blade", and open another game that sounds funny just by the name "Plants vs. Zombies".
The game started.
Seeing that the zombies in the game are all cartoon-style, even a little cute.
Du Kaiding breathed a sigh of relief and started playing the game.
First, there was the tutorial level, which was quite simple.
It was to collect sunlight, then plant plants to prevent zombies from coming in.
The pace was quite slow.
"That's it?"
Du Kaiding seemed to have forgotten how he felt when he played "Shadow" just now, and
he became crazy again. He began to follow the tutorial with a little impatience.
Soon, he knew the rules.
After all, the rules of this game are not complicated.
"Humph."
Du Kaiding snorted again and clicked the next level.
At this time, the time in the lower right corner of his computer was 1:18.
Time passed.
Du Kaiding suddenly came back to his senses, glanced at the words "a large wave of zombies is approaching" in the game, and then looked at the time in the lower right corner of the screen and fell into silence.
It was now 5:30 in the afternoon...
He wanted to snort again to express his disdain for this game.
But after playing the game for almost five hours, he couldn't hum anymore.
With great perseverance, he turned off the game he was playing and clicked on the next game "Sword and Knife".
It was eight o'clock in the evening.
Du Kaiding, who hadn't eaten dinner yet, raised his head again, his eyes were blank, and he was completely confused.
Knock, knock -
there was a gentle knock on the door.
His subordinate pushed the door open and said excitedly: "Brother Kai, I have contacted the people at Tianhu, and they said that they can put our game on the shelves! The previous withdrawal midway can be forgiven!"
Du Kaiding looked at his subordinate, recovered from his dazed state, and remained silent.
"Brother Kai?" The subordinate looked at Du Kaiding who was a little dazed, a little puzzled, and called him again, "What's wrong with you? Are you still thinking about the Linmu Studio that didn't know the pearl?"
"No, that Xiaojian, the matter of Tianhu... let's forget it."
Du Kaiding came back to his senses, coughed dryly, organized his words, and continued: "You will call Manager Mu of Linmu Studio later, be sincere, and say that I spoke too loudly at the beginning... our game can actually be changed."
Subordinates: "????"
Looking at the subordinates with question marks on their heads.
Du Kaiding smiled bitterly and didn't explain.
He didn't know how to describe his mood.
