Chapter 335: Hidden Ambition
After the game started pre-sale, because the number of players booked was large enough, and it was a domestic game, more anchors helped to play the trial version of "Blasphemy 2", which formed a virtuous cycle: the anchors played the game and promoted the game. The audience bought the game and increased the popularity of the game, which attracted more anchors to play.
Therefore, in the week after Bai Renzong released the trial version, the number of pre-sales of the game continued to increase, from more than 200,000 to more than 400,000.
Judging from this situation, after the final game is officially launched, sales volume should exceed one million.
In addition, not only in China, this game has also received good reviews abroad. It has never been so good that the studio employees can modify the bugs as if they were helping them. After working overtime, it took only a month to fix the bugs and launch the official version of the game.
By this time, it was already the end of December.
In this way, the total production time of the game only took eight months, which is quite fast.
Of course, according to the original plan of the studio, they plan to make a pseudo-3D game and refurbish the game system, gameplay, and mechanism. In this way, the game will take about a year and a half.
But as Bai Renzong said, since you want to use the name "Blasphemy 2", don't make such drastic modifications and maintain the style of a good generation, otherwise it may be thankless.
On the one hand, this can attract a generation of fans, and on the other hand, it can use a generation of players in game materials and code, which saves a lot of time for game production.
That night, Bai Renzong took a walk with Han Jiayi after dinner, and sat in front of the computer and started the live broadcast.
"Good evening everyone." Bai Renzong said with a smile, "Then everyone should know that "Blasphemy 2" was finally officially released half an hour before Lao Bai started broadcasting. Of course, Lao Bai specially explained this time to the studio. So, let's play the official version? Let's give you a complete guide."
Barrage: "I'm already downloading the game made by Lao Bai, I must experience it!" "The developer personally gave the players a guide? Cards!" "Lao Bai already knew the content in advance, right? What's the point of fighting?"
"I just provided suggestions on the overall development route, gameplay and style of the game. I don't know the game process and puzzles." Bai Renzong explained, "at most, I am familiar with the game system and mechanism."
As he said that, Bai Renzong opened the game: "Okay, the game is downloaded, and it's officially started playing!"
While playing Bai Renzong, he explained: "Because the new file is slightly different from the trial version. The character skills in the trial version have been learned, but you have to unlock this newly opened file bit by bit. It is still a simple novice teaching to tell you the basic system and buttons, and then the first boss, which is the gatekeeper of the soul game."
Speaking of this, Bai Renzong smiled mysteriously: "The gatekeepers of the first generation are very simple, right? You can pass with your eyes closed. So for the second generation, I asked them to make it a little more difficult. You need to pay attention, otherwise you will still die."
Playing the game he made himself does have a different flavor, but in fact, he is not the only one who is broadcasting this game during this period. The entire console area of the Maowu platform is basically playing this game.
As a 2D game, it is quite good. Although this card mainly comes from Bai Renzong, everyone is taking advantage of the popularity of "Lao Bai" rather than the game.
"Is the painting style good?" Bai Renzong said with a smile, "I asked them to provide the game pixels so that the picture looks less mosaic and the picture is more delicate. Although it is 2D, I think the painting style is still very exquisite."
While explaining and fighting, Bai Renzong also came to the second map, and the scene suddenly turned into a snow-capped mountain.
"I did not participate in the production of the plot, but this story is still great." Bai Renzong smiled. "Everyone knows the plot of the soul game. It is hidden in various props and tasks, and needs to solve the puzzles by yourself. Let me tell you a little bit. The second generation inherits the plot of the first generation. Isn't there an easter egg at the end of the first generation? A new miracle appeared in the sky..."
But because it is a new game, Bai Renzong doesn’t know the specific strategy process, so the fight is still relatively slow.
After the live broadcast on the first day, Bai Renzong only reached half of the second level.
"Okay, then we'll be here today. Let's continue tomorrow, okay?" Bai Renzong greeted the audience and then went off the air. After the air was off, he breathed a sigh of relief: "This game is too timely..."
"The studio said that the game has been sold for 500,000 copies after it was officially released." Han Jiayi smiled with a pursed lips.
"A copy of 89, 500,000 is... more than 40 million?" Bai Renzong calculated, "Sheam has to share 30%, and there is only more than 20 million left, and the personal income tax is deducted... more than 20 million. In terms of cost, I personally invested 3 million, plus the funds earned in one generation... In this way, we should have made a net profit of 10 million, right?"
"Absolutely." Han Jiayi said with a smile, "Other platforms are also available for sale, but the sales are relatively small."
"The income of the studio employees has to be eliminated. In the end, you and I are only divided into two or three million." Bai Renzong lay down beside Han Jiayi and sighed, "Oh, no wonder they have gone to make mobile games for big companies. Just making a garbage mobile game can make millions by cheating people and spending some money, and you can make money without any brains."
However, Bai Renzong's game has indeed achieved a good reputation.
After the game was launched, major platforms gave this game a very high rating the next day.
Among them, ign gave 9.3 points, gamespot gave 8.9 points, and other platforms also scored high scores of 8 to 9 points.
This is undoubtedly a great improvement for a domestic independent game.
For a moment, everyone knew that "Lao Bai, the food up owner of D station, made a great game."
In fact, the benefits this game brings to Bai Renzong are second, and the key is to make him "authoritative".
In this way, he will be more confident when commenting on games in the future. After all, he has made a high-scoring game himself, so he must have a unique understanding of the game.
However, at present, his interest is on his own game.
So, at noon that day, Bai Renzong and Han Jiayi had dinner, went downstairs for a walk, and he started the broadcast.
"Hi, good afternoon everyone." Bai Renzong lowered his voice and said, "Mumu is taking a nap, my voice is a little bit lighter. You may be curious, why did Lao Bai start broadcasting during the day today? In fact, it's very simple, because Lao Bai wants to play games."
As he said that, Bai Renzong opened "Blasphemy 2": "Everyone actually knows that Lao Bai himself is a fan of "Blasphemy 1". The first appreciation he made back then was the game "Blasphemy". And this second generation, I directly participated in the game production, so this game is particularly to my liking. Let's continue yesterday's process strategy, right?"
However, after playing for a while, Adam's sudden visit broke his immersion in the fun of the game.
"Xiaobai!" Adam stood at the door and said breathlessly, then broke into the room, "That guy is here in Beichang City."
"That guy?" Bai Renzong raised his eyebrows and realized that Adam was talking about Jamie Tira, "But, why?"
"This will start with what he has done in the past two months." Adam said, grabbing the cup and pouring himself a glass of water and taking a big sip. "I think this guy's purpose is even more... arrogant than I thought."
Immediately, Adam explained what Jamie Tira had done over the past month.
This guy previously posted various teaching videos online, teaching chefs at various restaurants how to make dishes that satisfy Michelin judges.
In Bai Renzong's view, this is undoubtedly a kind of "examination-oriented education", which is just a speculative trick used to obtain Michelin evaluations. But it has to be said that this method is indeed simple and violent. After several restaurants won the Michelin evaluations by Jamie Tira, Jamie Tira was also more sought after.
At this time, Jamie Tira began to announce some of her own detailed recipes.
He used the god tongue of the "Lee" little ghost to improve the menu and seasoning of classic French cuisine such as "Provence stew" and "red wine beef stew".
At first, his behavior caused huge controversy in the catering industry. After all, those classic dishes are undoubtedly equivalent to the foundation of French cuisine, so a group of chefs with classic French cuisine like Laurent Bischel, the restaurant chef of Licorne, criticized his actions.
However, after Jamie Tira made the dishes with his new method that received unanimous praise from foodies, the actual result slapped these old chefs in the face.
This is actually the meaning of what Bai Renzong said a long time ago when he was talking to Laurent Bisher: Is there no room for improvement or improvement in French cuisine?
And Jamie Tira proves that there is indeed.
In this regard, Jamie Tira's formula is now being sought after by people in the industry, and Jamie Tira himself has received many praises. After all, these recipes are exclusive secret recipes for chefs in other restaurants. Jamie Tira generously shares these recipes, and every chef can learn to make them.
"He is trying to guide... no, to be precise, to control the taste of Michelin." Bai Renzong frowned and said.
"Right?!" Adam clapped his hands, "You realize this too, right?"
"So, you said just now that he came to Beichang City?" Bai Renzong looked at Adam and asked, "What does it mean?"
"Answer's Beichang branch." Adam said with a stern face, "He is going to attack the catering culture of your country."
