When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay

May 11, Saturday, 7pm.

Gu Fan took a can of Coke from the refrigerator and lay comfortably on the newly purchased massage chair.

The previous projector has been replaced with the latest model and equipped with a 120-inch Fresnel anti-light screen. The overall viewing effect has been improved by more than one level.

I can't help it, my wallet is bulging!

So far, the cumulative sales of the game "Hell Tracks" have reached 890,000. In the first month, the sales basically reached the peak of about 470,000. After that, it declined rapidly and remained at a relatively stable level. number.

This is inevitable. After all, most of the sales of stand-alone games occur in the first one or two months when they are most popular. This sales volume is already quite good for independent games from small companies.

It would be great if "Hell Tracks" could include in-app purchases, but it's a pity that it can't be added.

"Sisyphus" has been on sale for more than half a month, and the current sales volume is 220,000.

Although it is extremely popular on the Internet, the sales of "Sisyphus" are not explosive. This is mainly due to the game's pricing strategy.

Since the price of "Sisyphus" is higher than that of "Hell Tracks", the number of players buying it without thinking has also been greatly reduced. Coupled with the strategy of unconditional trial play for 2 hours, most players were discouraged after a simple experience and chose to complete the game in the cloud on the website.

Although "Five consecutive dragon wings" is an operation that all players dream of playing. Once successful, they can go online to install a big one. However, most players also know that the difficulty of this thing is definitely beyond their control. Touch porcelain.

Therefore, the two games "Hell Tracks" and "Sisyphus" are both more popular than sales.

But even so, "Sisyphus" has brought very considerable income to Nitian Game Company. After all, as the unit price increases, profits will naturally increase.

The current funds on Nitiantian's books have reached 11.36 million!

Among them, the revenue of "Hell Tracks" is slightly higher, about more than 6.3 million. "Sisyphus" has not yet reached its peak sales period, and it will still grow slightly in the future.

This is still the case when the accounts of some small platforms have not been received in time.

It can only be said that this is the case for game companies. Once a game becomes popular, the speed of making money is like turning on a money printing machine and it cannot be stopped.

Of course, once the game fails, you will lose everything.

Out of the more than 11 million, Gu Fan could get a stable 5% bonus, which of course he paid to himself immediately without hesitation.

It's a pity that the bonus Gu Fan paid to himself has obviously triggered the cap rate of personal income tax, which is directly 45%, which means that the actual bonus of 550,000 yuan can only be 300,000 yuan.

It would be a lie to say that it doesn't hurt, but after all, it is quite honorable to pay taxes for the country.

Including the money that Gu Fanlu had given him one after another before, his personal property on hand has reached 410,000.

This amount of money is neither too much nor too little.

Want to buy a house in a place like the Imperial Capital? That's too much thinking, even a toilet is full.

What about buying a car? Sorry, I can't draw the number.

But the money is enough to use it for food, drink, and some furniture.

So Gu Fan upgraded the projection equipment and bought a massage chair. The originally empty living room looked a lot more substantial.

In fact, the current display effect of the projection is not as good as that of the TV, but after all, it is a rented house. If I buy a big TV, it will be inconvenient to move later, so I finally chose the projection.

If you make a little more money, you might be able to consider moving.

Of the company's money, 70% will be used for the development and promotion of the next game, which amounts to nearly 8 million; 25% is the company's operating expenses, which also amounts to more than 2.8 million.

Obviously, the next game after "Heaven Cube" has an unprecedented development budget!

…

The entire competition of this small game design competition will be held online and broadcast live in real time.

The specific schedule is: The first round of competition will be held from 7 to 10 o'clock tonight. Several judges and guests on site will try out the game and comment on each one.

Of course, online viewers can also find these games on the official platform and try them out.

Then the one-day voting session began.

Official restrictions on voting are relatively strict. The official platform account will determine voting qualifications based on user portraits to avoid the possibility of fraudulent votes as much as possible.

Tomorrow at 7 o'clock in the evening, the host and guest judges will officially announce the various awards of this mini game design competition and arrange special recommendation slots for the winning works.

The grand prize is 300,000 yuan. This amount of money is insignificant to game companies. The purpose of most independent game producers or small game companies participating in this competition is not for money, but to gain recognition in front of the officials and retain their reputation. A good impression.

If you can win awards and get exclusive recommendation slots, you can also bring a lot of traffic to the company's other games, which cannot be bought with money.

Gu Fan was lying on the massage chair, drinking Coke and waiting comfortably for the game to officially start.

He originally thought that Lilith wouldn't come tonight, but he didn't expect that he felt a chill coming from behind as soon as the massage chair started.

Gu Fan turned around and saw that Lilith was looking at the massage chair with a straight face.

Apparently Lilith was also speechless, and she upgraded again!

At first there was only a beanbag in the living room; after Lilith occupied the beanbag, Gu Fan bought a single sofa; after Lilith also occupied the single sofa, Gu Fan bought a massage chair!

The key is that this kid has no idea. Isn't it clear who should use this good thing? You have to come over and click on it yourself before you know how to move!

Gu Fan stood up helplessly and once again gave this geomantic treasure to Lilith.

Lilith lay down very satisfied, but then she sat up again as if she was electrocuted. Apparently, the massage function of the massage chair caught her by surprise, and she was subconsciously panicked.

But soon, she lay down comfortably. Although her two short legs did not fit well into the leg area of ​​the massage chair and seemed to sink in, she still enjoyed it quite a bit.

This thing is indeed more comfortable than a single sofa!

Well, for the sake of Gu Fan being so sensible, let's leave the single sofa to him.

While Lilith was thinking, she turned around and saw that Gu Fan had removed the cover from the sofa on the other side, and there was another massage chair underneath.

"ah?"

Lilith was a little confused. The size of the massage chair was a bit smaller, and it seemed like it was specially reserved for her.

As for the original single sofa, Gu Fan had already moved it to the study room.

Gu Fan pointed at the slightly smaller massage chair and said nothing.

Lilith stood up silently, changed to a massage chair and lay down: "You have some conscience."

Obviously she didn't expect that Gu Fan would directly buy two units this time.

Gu Fan sighed and lay down on the massage chair again, thinking to himself, I can't help but buy two of them. How can I stand it if I don't get paid every time?

After lying down comfortably, the mini-game design competition officially began.

…

After the host briefly introduced the content and rules of the competition, he began to introduce the judges of the competition.

After all, it is an officially organized competition and it is still very professional.

There are four judges in total this time. Judging from their identities and positions, they should have been carefully selected.

Judge No. 1 is called Cheng Anhua, who is a professional game reviewer on the official platform and is also a guest of some well-known game review organizations and websites.

The second judge is Liang Chun, an excellent independent game producer and the champion of the last mini-game production competition.

Judge No. 3 is called Li Wenhao, whose online name is "Mouse" and is a quite famous anchor. Although he is not as popular as top anchors like Professor Ding, he specializes in small games and independent games and is very popular in this field.

Judge No. 4 is interesting. He is a foreigner named Jonas. He is recognized as the number one expert in the game "Spinning Cube" and has won five consecutive tournament world championships.

Of course, the popularity of "Rotating Cubes" in this world is almost half that of "Tetris" in Gu Fan's previous life, so the gold content of this so-called "World Champion" has naturally decreased.

But no matter what, Jonas is already considered the strongest player in the world to play "Spinning Cube".

The selection of these four judges is very interesting. They respectively represent four different identities: reviewers, designers, ordinary players and professional players.

Obviously the official also hopes to provide players with four different perspectives to evaluate these entries more comprehensively, objectively and fairly.
