Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

"It's so expensive!".

Looking at the balance in the bank card, there was only a balance of more than 300 yuan left, and the corners of Chen Xu's mouth couldn't help twitching.

A public account with 600,000 followers and a good reputation from the media, 7,000 advertorials to promote, is just a sub-article and not a headline.

And before advertising, it is necessary to conduct an additional review of the game content to make sure that the game content is okay before accepting the advertisement.

Big data advertisements in game communities and forums, the three keywords of stand-alone, indie games, and RPG, with a minimum recharge amount of 10,000 yuan.

0.05 yuan for one click, 10,000 yuan for 200,000 clicks.

The promotional image of the game will be uploaded in the background, and it is a unified template.

After all, it's just 10,000 advertising dollars, don't expect how good it is, it's good to let some players know that there is such a game.

Chen Xu sighed in his heart, left the hotel with his laptop, and took back the deposit of 300 yuan from the front desk by the way.

The balance on his body suddenly became more than 600 yuan.

Let's go back to school for a meal first, and don't talk about other tastes, but in terms of affordability, there should be no more affordable place than the school cafeteria.

12 yuan, one meat, two vegetables with one soup, which can only be eaten at school.

..................

And when Chen Xu sighed, in an office building in the magic capital, Li Ye sat in front of the computer and looked at the game's official mall interface, and couldn't help but be speechless.

"This single meal advertisement is going to be lost again!" Shaking his head, Li Ye sighed.

If it is next, he will also have a little commission.

Not a lot, but not a lot.

"What's the matter, Li Ye, this game doesn't work?" the colleague next to him put down the keyboard and asked with some curiosity.

"I don't know if I haven't experienced it yet, but I don't feel like it's good, and ninety percent shouldn't be able to pass, because the game maker is an ordinary individual gamer, and the game is still free and has no threshold. Li Ye shook his head and explained.

Individual gamer, this is a more subtle term, simply put, a game producer who has not earned the title of game designer.

"That's it!" Hearing Li Ye's words, the colleague opposite also instantly understood.

They have also encountered a lot of such people in this industry, but their works are uneven.

If you want to be certified with an extremely 10,000 players, it's too much of a test of strength, even if it's free.

Because even if you're free, you can get 10,000 authentications, which means that your game has the ability to pay 10,000 players.

That's pretty good already.

So why is it that people who take this path to become game designers are all good at each other?

Because others have proven their strength in the market.

may not become a hit, but the game launched will not be too bad, and the probability of failure is much smaller.

And taking the company's path, there are also various game design competitions, which can only prove that your game is professional enough, but whether players buy it or not, that's another story.

After all, there is no shortage of games in the gaming circle that have exploded in media word-of-mouth, but players don't buy them.

With such feelings, Li Ye began his daily work.

Download the game to your computer.

Then go straight to the game.

He didn't look at the introductions on the store interface.

The most intuitive thing is to experience the quality of the game.

At the beginning, there is no such thing as a LOGO, but it goes directly to the screen of the game content.

This is not surprising, after all, this is an indie game.

However, the subsequent picture made Li Ye a little interested.

It's a little different from what you imagined.

Appearing on the screen is a yellowed portrait of a human child holding a spear with a discernible face.

and an animal figure that also stands without a face, and looks a bit like a rabbit, a dog, or a sheep

It's clear that this should be the original art manuscript of the game, and it's quite creative.

It doesn't look like a shoddy game, but I don't know what the actual quality is.

At this time, Li Ye also became a little serious.

Once you're on the UI, the portrait starts to turn the pages, just like a comic strip.

At the same time, a simple electronic sound BGM sounded, simple but very tasteful.

'Once upon a time, the earth was ruled by two races: humans and monsters. ’

One day there was a war between the two races. ’

After a long war, humanity has emerged victorious. They sealed the monsters underground with a magical spell. ’

Many years have passed...... Mount Ebert, 201X, legend has it that those who climbed the mountain never returned. ’

With the previous brief introduction to the background of the game, the game officially begins.

There is a black cutscene, after which the game's protagonist wakes up on a meadow full of yellow petals.
