Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

The next day, Chen Xu came to the company at 7:30 in the morning, but it was surprising that Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue arrived early.

Seeing Chen Xu who pushed the door and came in, the two rushed to Chen Xu with excited faces.

"It exploded, it exploded! President Chen's reputation has exploded!" Yang Xin was excited when he touched the laptop in his hand.

On the screen, the rating of the official app store is displayed.

9.9 points, an incredible high score.

And not only that, but two media have already given the game review of "Under the Legend" on the second day of its launch.

The most shocking thing is that the ratings given by these two media are all out of 10!

Even an evaluation website called Game Time and Space took it to the sky.

In the evaluation, the other party did not reveal the content, but just sold the whole process with the same feeling as a riddle person.

But there are many exaggerated descriptions in the review article.

For example, after clearing "Under the Legend", the editor was silent for a long time.

This is a game that breaks the treaty constraints of traditional RPGs.

It subverts the player's understanding of RPG games. The original game can be so shocking.

Although it is a small-cost independent game, it brings a more shocking experience than the 3A masterpiece.

The same evaluation also appeared in the comment area of ​​"Under the Legend".

There are a lot of terrifying comments in there.

For example, 'Incredible RPG game, my spine is still chilling by the end! ' 'Crush your mercy, and mine! ' 'It fills you with determination! ’

"The sales are not bad, but we have to let it ferment for a while." After taking over the computer and looking at the sales in the background, Chen Xu also smiled.

2749 copies, which is not a high figure.

It is also normal, although there was a hype with Zhong Media before.

But in fact, it just let more players know the name of the game "Under the Legend".

For many players, Nebula Games and Chen Xu are very unfamiliar.

The only thing that comes out is a gentleman's game.

And the price of "Under the Legend", Chen Xu set it at 36 yuan, the same as in the previous life.

As an independent game, it is not expensive, and the social economy of the parallel world is much higher than that of the previous life, otherwise the game industry would not be so prosperous.

From 19:00 to 23:00, this is a prime time period.

The evaluation of the game time and space itself makes the game fever fermented, and this time period is also a free time period for players, which can be used to experience the game.

Before 19 o'clock, the sales data of "Under the Legend" increased by about 500 per hour.

But by the time period after 19:00, the number had more than doubled, reaching around 1,200.

At the same time, the total sales also successfully exceeded 14,000 copies.

And the comments on the game have gradually started to increase.

You know, it has only been a day and a half since "Under the Legend" was officially launched on the game platform.

In the private room of the hot pot restaurant where Mixc City had dinner before, Yang Xin, who was celebrating at night, was even more excited when he heard the numbers from Chen Xu.

Although the previous "Magic Mirror" sold astonishingly, after all, she hadn't participated in it at that time, she was just watching a play.

But she participated in the production of "Under the Legend".

Although the process feels like 'tie the dog to win', she started most of the plot filling in the game anyway.

It also gave her a sense of accomplishment.

"I don't know how many sales are in the end!" Ruan Ningxue took a sip of the juice with the same excitement on her face.

"It feels like it may break a million!" Yang Xin said excitedly.

"Judging from the current evaluation trend, one million is only a matter of time." Chen Xu smiled and nodded, affirming.

 …

Unlike Chen Xu, who has a good mind, players who have been following "Under the Legend" and some designers in the industry have gone crazy when they see the evaluation of their game.

What's happening here?

In the Hepai Media, Zhong Media's eyes were even bigger, and he didn't mean to get off work at all.

Nebula games are stuffed with money? How much does this cost?

Buying good reviews, buying media reviews, he has done such things too, but this "Under the Legend" is too much! ?

This was his first thought, and it was also the first thought of the rest of the people who saw the results of "Under the Legend".

No one believes Undertale's true quality deserves such a review.

After all, this is a low-cost indie game.

And such a score can be said to be a standard masterpiece.

Is a game like "Under the Legend" really worth it?

But at the same time, this has also attracted the curiosity of many players, that is, what kind of game "Under the Legend" is.

And after these players become curious, they will become part of countless praises and continue to add fuel to the fire.

The most direct manifestation is the game data that Chen Xu has been observing.

Refreshed every hour, there will be a big increase.

Of course, the more important thing is the evaluation of the game.

Almost unanimously praised, the entire game's rating remains at 9.9 without a drop due to sales growth.

It is important to know that the rating of a game gradually decreases as the number of players increases.

Generally speaking, a score of 8.5 is an excellent baseline.

And reaching 9 points is already a high-quality game, as for 9.5 points and above, it can already be called a masterpiece.

However, despite the soaring sales of "Under the Legend", the player ratings have remained very stable.

Although this rating is certain to drop as more and more players follow, it is quite scary.

Under the store, the evaluations given by players express their views on the game.

"I thought it was an ordinary RPG fighting monster game, but I have to say that the appearance of Xiaohua and the ending that followed really shocked me!"

"At first, I was curious about Nebula Games and Chen Xu because of the magic mirror, but I have to say that "Under the Legend" made me understand what a game is! Really, it subverted my understanding of RPG games!"

"I can only describe it as incredible!"

"Never hurt those monsters in the game, or you will regret it! Trust me!"

"The wind is howling, and standing in front of you is a true hero!"

"There is a feeling of explosion! I have a hunch that the game "Under the Legend" will definitely become a hit!"

"The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming, and children like you should be burned in hell!"

"It fills you with determination!"

"Incomparably innovative and shocking game design!"

Countless players have given "Under the Legend" extremely high reviews, and of course, there are also mixed negative reviews.

The rating has been lowered by 0.1, but compared with the tide of positive reviews, these negative reviews are like a drop in the ocean.
