Chapter 33 Success
'Clap clap clap! '

There was a sound of slapping the table from Lin Yu's live broadcast room, accompanied by countless bullet screens.

'Killing me! '

'Hello everyone, I'm Ou Huanglin. '

'I laughed so hard, I set fire to the mountain and burned myself to death. '

'No, no, Lin Laoer, are you here to make us laugh on purpose? '

Unknowingly, the popularity of Lin Yu's live broadcast room has exceeded one million.

Even at the peak of the number of viewers at night, there were only a few times when the number of viewers exceeded one million, and it was still the case that someone gave gifts such as rocket treasure maps.

Lin Yi, who noticed this by accident, felt a burst of surprise in his heart.

This shows what?
This shows that the audience likes to watch the anchor play this game very much, which shows that this game is attractive to players.

"Impossible! It must be that this game is too difficult. A hardcore survival player like me can only live for seven days at most. How can ordinary players play it? It seems that I want to @一下官方, whether to add a difficulty option It's my opinion." Lin Yi said with a depressed face looking at another death scene.

'What game is too difficult!It's obviously Lin's second son, you are too weak. '

'That's right, that's right, look at the fat head fish next door, he has lived to No.20 for two days. '

At this time, there was a discordant voice in the barrage.

"What, Fathead Fish has lived to 22 days? He is the only one!" Lin Yu said in a questioning and unbelievable tone.

Fathead Fish, like Lin Yu, is an anchor of the same live broadcast platform, but one is in the online game area and the other is in the console game area.

Lin Yi quickly opened the other party's live broadcast room, but the other party did not turn on the camera, and saw Wilson jumping around on a plain.

At the same time, the voice of the fat-headed fish came from the earphone: "Oh, this game is really too simple. If you walk around, you will encounter a fierce melee between wild boars and murlocs. The wild dogs will beat me and the rabbits will help you. You will starve to death." You can still see carrots, this is not like a survival game, if it doesn’t work, you have to suggest to the developer, to increase the difficulty, otherwise there will be no challenge at all.”

Why do I feel my heart hurts?

Turning off the live broadcast room, watching the bullet screens swiping the screen like snowflakes, Lin Yu silently held his heart.

Are you really an African?It shouldn't be!

"I don't believe it! My survival expert, Lin, will still be stumped by this game!"

Lin Yi decisively chose to restart the game again.

……

This kind of thing happened to many players who bought Don't Starve and started to play, although not many people thought that Don't Starve would have much quality at first.

But first of all, the price advantage is here, it is only 20 yuan, not to mention that if it really sucks, you can unconditionally refund it within two hours.

You won't lose out anyway, so why not buy one and give it a try?
But what they didn't expect was that this purchase fell into the pit!
Looking back at the time, I'm going!The two-hour unconditional refund time has passed.

Of course, in fact, 90.00% of the players above nine have never thought about getting a refund.

How much time has passed since they haven't experienced a game that brings them joy.

But what they don't know is that they have only experienced a small part of the famine at present.

Really complicated gameplay, interesting gameplay, they haven't learned yet.

When they really understand the game a little bit, they will find that the famine can still be played like this.

In Tianhe Network's office, it was time to get off work, but none of the staff of the famine project team, including Chuhe, left their jobs.

Even Pig, who dislikes overtime the most, did not leave his post today without Chuhe's request to work overtime.

Because today is an important day, and it has been 6 hours since the launch of Famine, they want to see how much sales data is available on all platforms of Famine.

Will it work?How successful will it be?

This is what everyone thinks in their hearts. As for the "Fantasy World" that they threatened to give them a good look, after 15 minutes of trial play, everyone has already chosen to refund.

Such a game, how can it be an opponent of Don't Starve?

"Has the statistics come out?" Chu He looked at Pig and said to Xu Chang.

It seems that Chuhe is not very nervous, but in fact his heart has been suspended.

Unlike the previous Legend of the Red Moon, he has been engaged in web games for several years and has enough experience. He knows that the most important thing in web games is the player's sense of experience. This sense of experience comes from the psychology of vanity and showing off.

But Famine is different. Famine needs to have enough gameplay to attract players; Famine needs to have a sense of experience, find a balance between difficulty and fun, and bring players a good sense of game experience.

Before that, he had never had any experience in making games other than web games, even though Famine was largely made on the shoulders of already successful giants.

But during the production, Chuhe and his team also made a lot of changes, adding a lot of content that they thought was cool and great.

Can such a changed famine succeed in this different parallel world?

However, if Chuhe went to the major live broadcast platforms at this time to see the effect of the game anchors' live broadcasts, then he would definitely feel relieved.

"It's out! It's been counted! A total of 1270 copies were sold on the GOG platform, and 17330 copies were sold on the steam platform, successfully becoming the best-selling champion in the country today, and also entered the top ten sales in the global region!" Tao Fa suddenly shouted Said.

The best-selling champion in the airborne steam platform country!Global sales into the top ten!
"The sales volume on WEGAME is 73000 copies!" Then Tao Fa shouted in a more excited tone.

The sales volume of the first day of the whole platform is close to [-] copies!

them!It really worked!

Chuhe bit his lip, and his hands clenched into fists because of excitement.

Although this has something to do with the price of famine is only 25 yuan, but who pays attention to these now?
"How's the score? How's our score on the major platforms?" After the excitement, Xu Chang asked quickly.

Hearing Xu Chang's words, the rest of the excited people immediately came to their senses.

That's right, whether a game is successful or not depends on the follow-up player feedback.

So what if 50 copies are sold a day if the word-of-mouth is overwhelming?
After seeing the content of your game, how many players will choose to refund?
After word of mouth, follow-up profits are basically forgotten.

For a game, the sales volume on the first day is a reference, but for stand-alone games, word of mouth is more important.

Because stand-alone players can be said to be the most hardcore player group, and they have higher requirements for the quality of games than anyone else.

　After thinking about it, let’s change the author’s words in this chapter. I’m a little scared, what if it gets 404~Although I didn’t say anything~
