I! game designer! Crying players all over the world!

Chapter 154



The current global sales of "Black Myth" are actually slightly behind "Dragon Country".

"Dragon Kingdom": 4.46 million.

"Black Myth": 3.56 million.

The two games, which are now number four and number five on the sales charts, respectively.

However, surpassing the third place, according to the current situation, is not a problem.

That's the point.

Who will be able to finish third!

As for surpassing second place, it will be very difficult.

Games like "Dragon Kingdom" and "Black Myth" want to exceed more than 20 million sales in half a year.

It's basically impossible.

After all, in this world, there are still many players who will consider the value for money of the game.

There are even a large number of players who like to play cheap games.

Or, they will be very patient and wait for the discount.

And in this world, there is never a shortage of games to play.

Therefore, whether it is "Dragon Kingdom" or "Black Myth", the most likely is 12 million sales that surpass the third place.

Both games, the possibilities are high.

But for Lin Mo.

He definitely doesn't want "Black Myth" to lag behind "Dragon Kingdom" all the time.

In this case, the risk is too great.

So, he had already thought of a way a long time ago.

"Xue Wen, how is the linkage planned?" Lin Mo looked at Xue Wen and asked.

"Almost. Xue Wen replied, "I have already mentioned it to the various project teams, and they have made corresponding updates. "

Okay, let's start now.

A smile flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.

Xue Wen said unexpectedly: "Is it so fast?" "

Yes, it's better to hurry up, after all, we have to win this time!" Lin Mo's

expression was firm.

Xue Wen also understood what his boss meant.

Indeed, the goal of the game "Black Myth" from the beginning is to obtain a triple-A rating!

In fact, the best way to achieve this goal is to release "Black Myth" next year.

Because then they have enough time to get the word out in advance.

But Lin Mo wants to fight in the ring with Yada Studio.

That's why I chose to have the same release date as Yada Studio.

But that's it.

In fact, for both of them, it is not very good.

Because it will share the sales potential.

After all, these two games are considered to be 3A standard masterpieces with very good quality.

But for a lot of players, they tend to choose only one game.

At least upfront, yes.

But Lin Mo still made such a decision.

There is no reason for this.

There is only one.

Since Yada Studio has made "Wukong" fail, then it will have to pay the price

! Otherwise, others will think that they are easy to provoke!

Xue Wen also understands this truth.

So after receiving Lin Mo's order, he quickly started the various activities that he had planned before.

Now Yanhuang Group has only three most popular games in the world.

"Minecraft", "Genshin", "Great Witch".

Among them, "The Great Witch" is a stand-alone machine, and according to Lin Mo's arrangement, "The Great Witch" will launch a new free DLC.

In this free DLC, there will be a copy of the Shrine.

The bosses that appear in the dungeon are naturally those legends in "Black Myth".

In addition, the most important games are actually "Minecraft" and "Genshin Impact".

Among them, Minecraft has the largest number of players in the world, which is close to 200 million!

After all, it is a completely free game, so it is normal to have such a number of users.

Plus the powerful expansiveness of Minecraft.

It is very loved by players all over the world.

In particular, some players have already played Minecraft as an MMO.

After all, in addition to the official server, Minecraft can also build its own server.

Some players have built their own paid servers, which have already made them a lot of money.

So Minecraft can be said to be very popular!

So after the launch of the linkage server with "Black Myth", as well as a variety of mythical skins.

Minecraft players are all aware of the Black Myth game.

According to the data, the sales of "Black Myth" suddenly rose by more than one million! In

an instant, it surpassed "Dragon Kingdom"!

But Lin Mo still felt that it was not enough.

In fact, the ability of players to pay for "Minecraft" is relatively weak.

But the game "Genshin" is different.

As the world's No. 1 mobile game, the krypton boss is called more than one.

Although the number of players is not as large as Minecraft.

But when it comes to the strength of krypton,

"Yuan Shen" is the strongest! And the linkage between "Yuan Shen" and "Black Myth" is not ordinary.

Lin Mo specially asked Cai Mi to make a massively multiplayer online copy in "Yuan Shen".

This is the first time that the concept of massively multiplayer online dungeons has appeared in Genshin.

And the strategy steps of this copy are also very complicated.

Even if everyone teams up together to do the strategy.

It is expected that it will take at least a week to fully succeed.

And this copy is actually completely constructed according to the world map of "Black Myth".

Of course, the scope is definitely much smaller than "Black Myth".

However, as a result, the layout of various wild monsters is also more dense.

Even if you are a super krypton player and want to sweep the entire dungeon, it is impossible.

It must be a team of multiple people to be able to succeed in the early stage.

Otherwise, you can only wait until the big guy makes a guide to pass the video.

With a three-pronged approach, the sales of "Black Myth" continued to rise in July!

In July 2002.

The sales of "Black Myth" have reached more than 6.3 million!

while "Dragon Kingdom" has barely reached 5 million sales.

Although it's already pretty good.

But there is no way, "Black Myth" firmly occupies the fourth place, and continues to move towards the third place!

and "Dragon Kingdom" can only stay in the fifth place, looking at "Black Myth" with more sales than itself.

And by the time Auston reacted, it was completely too late.

"Black Myth" has become a climate

!"How is it possible!"

"Our Yada Studio's work actually lost!"

Auston looked at the sales of "Black Myth" with disbelief in his eyes.

"Dragon Country" is a masterpiece that they have been busy with for three years

! Whether it is the plot, production, and gameplay, they have all been polished at multiple levels

! Auston is even confident that as long as "Dragon Kingdom" is given enough time, it will not be a problem to surpass

the first place! However, now, let alone the first place, he is very hung in the third place!

"Black Myth", a Chinese triple-A game, is like a sharp sword, hanging high over the head of "Dragon Kingdom".

Even

if "Dragon Country" can pass the review of the Global Game Council, it will lose the opportunity to evaluate 3A because of its annual sales ranking fourth!

That's right, the evaluation of 3A, the review of the Global Game Council, is actually only part of it.

The most important thing is those three criteria

! Among them, the standard of annual sales is very important!

And the reason why Auston chose to release "Dragon Kingdom" in the middle of this year.

The main reason is that he has investigated very clearly.

The other four top studios have no plans to release games in the second half of the year.

Auston was relieved to choose this point in time.

As a result, who knows, a "Black Myth" suddenly popped out

! Directly beat him to the north!

Although Auston also knew that the game "Black Myth" was a triple-A masterpiece launched by Yanhuang Games.

But in fact, he has never taken "Black Myth" into account.

After all, the game "Wukong" is just like that.

Even without his involvement, it is very unlikely that "Wukong" wants to be judged successful.

And "Wukong" is a top studio in China, and it took several years to polish the work.

As for the Yanhuang game, how long has it been since it was established?

It has not been two years!

The triple-A game "Black Myth" they launched is just a gimmick in Auston's view.

It's like the goose factory, just trying to make a fortune.

But now.

Auston saw the results of "Black Myth" and had completely reacted.

He miscalculated! Completely miscalculated

! This "Black Myth" is obviously the big killer of the Yanhuang game!

"Bastard

!" "

Waiting for me here!"

Alston looked at the computer, and the "Black Myth" that had been downloaded.

His face became more and more ugly.

"Dragon Country" is the game, he is the core person in charge.

So he attaches great importance to

it! After all, it has something to do with his year-end bonus this year!

So during this time, he has been ignoring "Black Myth".

Instead, he put all his energy into the promotion of "Dragon Kingdom".

As long as the sales of "Dragon Kingdom" are better.

Then the more prize money he can get.

But "Black Myth" broke his overall layout!

According to the calculations of Yada Studio analysts, "Dragon Kingdom" should have achieved 7 million sales in July.

And now, it has just exceeded 5 million.

This is also the reason why Auston suspended the promotion of "Dragon Kingdom" and returned home to download "Black Myth".

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated

! He is ready to get to know this opponent of his own!

Otherwise, he will be in trouble this year!"

"

It's just a studio that's been around for less than two years. "

What kind of triple-A game can you make?

Auston clicked on the Black Myth icon and officially started playing.

That's it, just one day, fleeting.

Auston opened "Black Myth" in the morning.

By the time he closed the game interface of Black Myth, the scenery outside the window had already turned into night.

And Auston is also sweating profusely at the moment!

"How can it be ......?"

"Such a level of ......

" "Is it really a Chinese game designer who can do it?"

Auston felt incredulous.

There was a deep shock in his eyes.

As the core head of one of the top five game studios in the world.

Auston is top-notch in terms of experience, insight, and talent! Because

of this, he can see the horror contained in

the game "Black Myth"! Especially the map design, and the innovative fragmented narrative, all brought Auston deep surprise

! "No! "Dragon Country" is not the opponent of this game!"

Auston quickly came to this conclusion in his own mind.

He's not a fool.

He's smart.

It's just a bit arrogant.

But that doesn't mean he's stupid.

According to the quality of "Black Myth", and the current situation.

At the end of the year, "Dragon Kingdom" will definitely lose in terms of sales

! Yes, it will definitely lose!

No matter what method Auston uses, it will not be able to stop the current momentum of "Black Myth".

After all, for the game industry, the quality of a game is the only criterion for winning or losing!

A lot of players don't care that much.

They only care if a game is good or not.

So Auston only feels a tingling in his scalp now.

"Are you going to lose?"

"But if I lose." "

What about

next year?" "The resources that the studio gave me next year will definitely be greatly reduced!"

Alston's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Obviously, at this moment, he is completely angry.

"Yellow game!"

Auston said through gritted teeth.

From the beginning, he didn't take the game company seriously.

But now, this Yanhuang game has given him a fatal blow

! He must find a way

! Otherwise

, then he is too aggrieved

! "Dragon Kingdom" is definitely eligible for the triple-A rating!

Auston opened "Black Myth" again, constantly thinking about where he could start.

Suddenly, at this very moment.

A flash of light flashed through Auston's mind.

"There's a way!" said

Auston's eyes.

Not ...... though

In this matter, you still need the help of others.

Thinking of this, Auston made a phone call.

At the same time, the other side.

It is already dawn in Huaguo.

Lin Mo came to the "War of the Gods" project team.

There is no longer any problem with Black Myth.

The main plan for next year's Yanhuang game is to fully develop the layout of the e-sports field

! Among them, the game "War of the Gods" is the top priority!

However, the situation faced by "War of the Gods" is actually not very good.

Because the game industry in this world is too developed!

Although Lin Mo has made every effort to develop "War of the Gods".

But he is still not 100% sure that Clash of the Gods will succeed.

Faith is faith.

But again, preparation needs to be done well in advance.

If you want "War of the Gods" to start the first year

of e-sports, this game must be able to cover most players around the world! Whether it is mobile games, consoles, or computer players, they all need to be covered

! Only in this way can we truly open the era of e-sports

! Only in this way can the Chinese game industry achieve corner overtaking

! After all, from the game itself, no matter how much Lin Mo does, he can't surpass the three major game empires!

The current three major game empires basically account for 80% of the global game industry!

Lin Mo has always had limited power alone, even with the addition of Yanhuang Games.

Therefore, he thought about overtaking in corners through the layout of the e-sports field.

No one really cares about gaming esports yet.

He's going to make the most of this opportunity!

Therefore, the importance of the game "Clash of the Gods" is self-evident.

"It's mainly about the various competitive modes and the design of mythical heroes. "

This is the most important part!"

"Especially the mythical heroes controlled by the player, not only must they meet their aesthetics, but the operation must also be relatively simple to use.

"It's simple, but the depth and ceiling can't be small.

"Only in this way can we make the game more popular with everyone. "

Lin Mo's thinking is very clear.

But that doesn't mean he's going to be able to do it well.

It needs to be simple, deep, and high.

"Hey, it would be nice if I could raise the numerical design to the SSS level.

Lin Mo felt that this was because he was not yet capable of numerical design.

That's why I feel that this aspect of design will be difficult.

Not ...... though

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Lin Mo's heart.

"That's right

!" "I can find someone to help!" A

familiar name suddenly appeared in Lin Mo's mind.

Shu Xingzhi

had been in charge of the development of "Black Myth" before.

And now, "Black Myth" has been completed, and Shu Lao has also taken a leisurely time.

And Shu Lao's numerical design ability, Lin Mo has seen it.

Since this is the case, it is completely possible to let Shu Lao be the numerical planner of "War of the Gods"!"

Perfect!" Lin

Mo's face showed a hint of joy.

At the same time, he couldn't help but pat his head.

I forgot such an important thing!

But it is not so simple to convince Shu Lao.

After all, Shu Lao's age is a big problem now.

The game "Black Myth" has basically consumed a lot of energy for Shu Lao.

Now that Shu Lao is in charge of the numerical design of "War of the Gods", will he be a little unable to bear such a high-intensity work?

Lin Mo thought about it in his heart.

"It's better to wait for the dinner party in the evening, and then ask Shu Lao's wishes.

Lin Mo thought so.

Today's dinner party is actually to celebrate the success of "Black Myth".

Now everyone is pretty much sure.

"Black Myth" rated 3A, which is basically a sure thing.

Although the champagne was opened at halftime, it seemed that something was not very good.

But Lin Mo felt that whatever means Yada Studio wanted to use, it should not be able to affect "Black Myth".

After all, in terms of the current sales growth, "Dragon Kingdom" is not the opponent of "Black Myth" at all!

Then "Black Myth" will definitely get this year's 3A rating!

So, it's night.

Yanhuang Game directly chartered the entire hotel.

Everyone is partying tonight.

Halfway through eating, Lin Mo wanted to find Shu Xingzhi to talk about "Battle of the Gods".

But at this moment, Xue Wen found him in advance.

"Boss, I have something to tell you here.

"What's the matter? If it's not important, I'll talk about it tomorrow. "

Hmm...... It's not very important, it's related to the situation of "Black Myth" abroad. "

Oh?"

Lin Mo became interested.

Could it be that Yada Studio really used some means to affect the sales of "Black Myth"?
