LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 36
The best sellers list is the most important list on the Steam platform.
The best sellers list and the download list are the two most important lists on the Steam platform. They are divided into two tracks: new games and old games, and they are extremely valuable.
Among them, the best sellers list requires money, and players are not fools. They will not buy games that are not fun.
Therefore, the best sellers list is more valuable. After all, downloads can be increased, but best sellers are difficult to increase.
Within two hours of its release, "Angry Birds" sold 20,000 copies at a price of 6 yuan.
Originally, the sales volume of 20,000 copies was not very high, but the terrifying thing was the speed at which the download volume soared. For general new games, unless there is a fan base or pre-promotion, it is considered high to sell one or two hundred copies on the first day.
Twenty thousand copies in these two hours made the performance of "Angry Birds" on the new game best-selling list very dazzling.
Lao Ma is also capable, otherwise he would not have climbed to the position of director of Penguin's distribution department. When he saw the data in front of him, he immediately thought to himself that it was not good.
"Director... Director, will this affect the release of our game?" The middle-aged subordinate asked with a trembling voice.
Lao Ma frowned and looked at it, and after a while he said: "Don't worry too much. Although the data of this game is soaring very fast, it is a game made by independent game developers after all. Without a sufficient fan base, it can't become a big climate. Once our game is launched, it will definitely snatch his popularity and step on it. After all, how can a small game be our opponent."
Lao Ma is still very confident in his game. He has done so much pre-promotion and has been following behind. Many Penguin game players have also expressed extremely high expectations for the new game. It is conceivable that once their game is launched, it will be unprecedentedly popular. Who will pay attention to an "Angry Birds" at that time?
This is the confidence of big companies, because they have a huge player base, they basically don't have to worry about the new game being a disaster after release. What can really make their game a disaster is the post-operation and the amazing planning.
Sometimes when Lao Ma sees his own game shut down, he will also have a doubt, are there any spies planted by other companies among the planners under his command?
Otherwise, how can a normal person be so amazing? Thinking about how to kill the game all day long?
Having said that, Lao Ma was still very surprised about this game called "Angry Birds", because he found that there was almost no news about this game except for the introduction of the login interface, let alone any advertisements.
In other words, this game was put on the shelves naked! There was no promotion at all!
This is too abnormal!
Lao Ma is the boss of the marketing department, so he naturally knows the importance of promotion to a game. It is no exaggeration to say that if it is put on the shelves without promotion, most games will only have one way to die!
After all, good wine needs no bush.
He keenly felt that this game might set off a storm in the industry!
This version of "Angry Birds" is likely to create a game myth in the industry!
Knowing yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without defeat. Lao Ma immediately logged into his account, bought the game, and started playing it directly on the computer.
This time he was really playing the game.
As he played, Lao Ma was more and more surprised.
The gameplay, graphics, operation and other aspects of this game are very interesting. Although it is not as popular as the popular games on the market, it is not far away, and it is better in novelty.
The gameplay of "Penguin Run" that I copied... borrowed from is almost exactly the same as "Hoom Run", without any innovation. It may rely on some opening benefits to attract players when it is just launched, but over time, players will be seriously lost.
Of course, the most important thing now is to launch the server. Although Lao Ma said he was not afraid, he was still a little nervous.
After all, the sales of this game were so high in just two hours. If he was given enough time to promote it, it might really affect the release of "Penguin Run".
Lao Ma's subordinate obviously thought so too, so he said worriedly: "Minister, why don't we postpone the release time?"
Lao Ma's face suddenly turned black. Delay the release?
Will he be criticized by the players?
This guy is really rebellious! What bad ideas are he coming up with!
Lao Ma looked at his subordinate who came up with bad ideas, his teeth clenched, and his heart was filled with anger.
Finally
, he slapped the table and stood up!
"Okay! Stop talking!"
Lao Ma said with a straight face: "Now everything is ready for Penguin Run, and the arrow is on the string and has to be released. If the release is delayed, I don't know what unexpected things will happen, so the release time cannot be changed!"
"Now, follow the steps and release it on time! I don't want to see any abnormal situation!"
The middle-aged man frowned and wanted to say something but was interrupted by Lao Ma mercilessly.
"I don't care what difficulties you have. Anyway, if the game can't be launched on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, I will hold you accountable!"
"A game made by an independent game developer can be compared with our carefully prepared masterpiece?! I really don't believe it! Will we Penguin Games be afraid of him?"
The middle-aged man couldn't help complaining in his heart.
It was carefully prepared, and even the core code was copied from others...
But he didn't dare to say this, and no one inside Penguin dared to say it. Whoever said it would pack up and leave.
After venting his anger, Lao Ma took a breath and said, "That's what I mean. You put the game online first, and we'll talk about the rest after it's online!"
The middle-aged man had no choice but to nod his head with difficulty and leave the room.
Lao Ma took a deep breath and saw the female secretary next to him. He no longer wanted to continue playing the game and waved his hand to let the female secretary leave.
He knew that forcing his subordinates to release the game on time was a helpless move, but as a leader, he still needed to be prepared.
He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, it's me. Go check the information of a game author for me. The name of the game is "Angry Birds". Yes, don't alarm him when you find it. Well, that's it."
After hanging up the phone, Lao Ma crossed his hands and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
......
On the other side, Bai Qianqu didn't know that a game he released casually had caused such an uproar.
He had a dream that he founded Mihoyo, produced the original god and the collapse series of games, and became the boss of the world's largest game company.
Just when he was feeling proud of himself, millions of players broke into his company with NS, smashed the NS in front of him, and angrily called him OP.
