Reboot the age of gaming

Chapter 170 Ready to go online (for the lord of us ~ keep silent and add 15 more)

new week.

"The bugs are all fixed?"

"Well, just a few small bugs and some optimizations, it will be fixed tonight."

"Hey, by the way, Zhong Ming, has the game been reviewed?"

"It's over, it's all ages."

In addition to the game content, Zhong Ming also entrusted a special agency to complete the game review of "Latent Red Road".

The game review standards in this world are globally unified, after all, there is only one official organization in charge of these things.

The name of the organization is "Entertainment Software Rating Organization", which translates into Chinese as "Entertainment Software Rating Organization", or ESRO for short.

This organization has different review standards according to the situation of each district. Because the ethnic composition and customs of different regions are different, there will be some differences in the review rules.

Of course, the general review standards of each region are similar.

"Latent Red Path" is a relatively ordinary text adventure historical theme game in this world. There are no exposure, violence scenes, and no racial discrimination factors, so there are no review problems.

All the preparations went smoothly, and Zhong Ming prepared some extra money, planning to buy some basic publicity spots.

The price of the game is only ten yuan, and different game platforms may have their own discount strategies. On average, each player earns three or four yuan, which is not a lot.

Of course, the only question is whether players will accept it.

"Okay, there should be no problem, let's call it a day, and it will be on the shelves tomorrow."

Zhong Ming ran the whole game for the last time, and after confirming that there was no problem, Zhou Sen could seal the packet.

There is no special test group, so Zhong Ming and Zhou Sen just cameo for a test. Fortunately, the technology in this world is advanced, and the artificial intelligence program can also undertake part of the test work, so the workload is not that big.

"Go back and have a good rest today. The game won't be released until 2 pm tomorrow. Just come here before then. If you come early, you're just waiting. It's meaningless."

Zhong Ming sent the two of them away, and ran the game again from beginning to end.

Although we know that this game is a masterpiece, but whether players will like it or not, no one can tell.

You'll only find out when the game is released.

……

The next morning, Zhou Sen and Jiang Wanna arrived early.

"Didn't I tell you to come back at noon?" Zhong Ming was a little surprised.

Zhou Sen sat down on the sofa: "Hey, how can I sit still at home, I can't wait."

Zhong Ming laughed: "But you came early, the game can't be online early."

Jiang Wanna said: "Then we have to witness this historic moment together. After all, it is the first game of Weiguang Studio, which is very commemorative."

"If it were in other companies, some key projects would celebrate the completion of development before going online, wishing the game a big sale, etc., and some might even leave video images. Hey, yes, video images!"

Zhou Sen suddenly remembered something, and opened the bracelet: "Come on, let me take a short video to record this critical moment."

Zhou Sen walked around the studio with his wristband, patted Zhong Ming and Jiang Wanna, and patted the environment of the studio.

Jiang Wanna was speechless: "Stop shooting, the studio is in a mess."

"It's so messy, it's very tidy, okay?" Zhou Sen took a short video to record this historic moment.

Jiang Wanna opened the bracelet and found the Zhongyou game market.

"Hey, have so many people already made an appointment? Have you been recommended?"

Jiang Wanna was a little surprised, because the game details page showed that more than 3 people had made reservations.

"Not yet, at noon. These are all the traffic I pulled." Zhong Ming said.

Zhou Sen was shocked: "Can you attract more than 3 people to make appointments?? Then how many fans do you have to have!"

Zhong Ming chuckled: "Is it too much? I think it's too little."

Zhou Sen and Jiang Wanna are usually busy with work and don't have time to pay attention to things on Weibo, so of course they don't know much about Zhong Ming's new meme.

Of course, because this meme doesn't have such a good soil in this world, it shouldn't be able to form the scale of Liuxue, but just spreading it on a small scale can attract many players to make an appointment.

But having said that, an appointment is an appointment, and it is hard to say how many people actually pay for it.

The first 10% of the game can be played for free, but if you want to continue playing later, you need to pay.

"I don't have money to go to big channels, so I can only make do with it. Thanks to Zhong Ming, you can attract players, otherwise it would be really difficult." Zhou Sen said with emotion.

The Zhongyou game market belongs to a medium-sized channel provider and a niche platform, but relatively speaking, its reputation is not bad.

Some big game platforms are very expensive both for promotion and recommendation, and the overall target player group is not particularly in line with the target players of "Latent Red Path".And now it's just testing the waters. If word of mouth is good and sales are good, you can talk to other channels and platforms.

Now the game has no word-of-mouth reputation, and Weiguang Studio is not well-known, and it has little right to speak on some big platforms.

From Zhong Ming's point of view, the game platforms and channels in this world are also full of chaos, comparable to those in the previous life.There is no big channel provider to unify the world, and there is no official game platform.

The official of this world, that is, ESRO, actually only cares about the review and classification of games, and has no involvement in game channels and sales. It can be said to be a relatively pure regulatory department.

Of course, this has also made the living environment of many independent game studios even worse. Large channels cannot be accessed, and small channels are exploited and oppressed in various ways.

At noon, when the game was about to be released, Zhong Ming didn't feel like cooking anymore, so he just ordered a takeaway.

After one o'clock in the afternoon, the person in charge of promotion of the game platform sent a message.

"The 2 o'clock game is officially open for download, and at the same time, it will be recommended as a text adventure boutique game."

Zhong Ming replied: "Okay."

I didn't believe it after that.

The people in charge of these game platforms are all like [-] to [-], and they will never say a word without special circumstances.

If there are special circumstances, it is usually because there is something wrong with the prepared promotional materials, and then he scolds you angrily.

The attitude of the person in charge of the matchmaking will be better, but generally the newcomers who have just joined the job will be more polite, and the old fritters basically have a bad temper.

In the eyes of these distributors, a small game studio will not be taken seriously at all, because there are many game studios. Although there is a shortage of good games, there are very few good games that are shocking to the world. Most of the platforms are indie games with no resources and games that won’t be particularly brilliant, and it doesn’t matter which one is promoted.

Since no matter which one you recommend, you will almost make money. Of course, all studios will be polite and dare not offend.

Zhong Ming was also very speechless, this recommendation was obviously bought with money, and his attitude was so bad.

It can only be said that not every employee is good-tempered on a game platform with a good reputation.
