Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

Chapter 12: Sales of Magic Mirror

Views:

Compared to the conversation between Ruan Ningxue and Yang Xin, Chen Xu at this time has been paying attention to the performance of "Magic Mirror".

In fact, many people have noticed the game "Magic Mirror".

Even though it is launched on an overseas platform, it is still a rather special game.

But the sales volume is listed here. The official platform will not release the sales volume. However, for game designers and industry media, it is basically possible to make statistics based on various data and then speculate on the sales volume.

Although there may be some errors, they are not too outrageous.

Although "Mirror" did not appear on any sales platform, in the praise list, "Mirror" occupied the first place with its incredible performance.

An 18R game suddenly reached the top of the praise list.

I have to say that this really surprised many game designers.

Many people also want to see how magical this game is.

Especially in the comments section of this game.

Many people have found that players' comments are basically completely different from traditional gentleman's games, and even make them a little confused.

'Excellent match-3 game! '

'Get out of here, woman! Don't stop me from playing match-3 games! '

'I couldn't tell for a moment whether this was a match-3 game or a galgame, but one thing is for sure, my brother is very satisfied. '

'I thought this was just an ordinary gentleman's game before, but I have to say that I was shocked. How could this be a shoddy gentleman's game? Is this a high-quality independent game at all? '

'As a professional troll, I can only find one point to troll like this, that is, you are such a gentleman, what are you doing that is so touching and exquisite! '

'Obviously ten minutes have passed and I have entered the sage state. This game should be closed, but why am I still playing this game! ? This match-3 is a bit interesting! '

'In this game, I see the good, evil, beauty and ugliness of human nature. It's a game like no other! '

'When a gentleman's game moves me, does it matter whether I move or not? '

'I opened this game with excitement and excitement, but when I left, I was not relieved, but disappointed. '

These comments have confused many people. Could it be that they opened the wrong game

Of course, in addition to many players who give good reviews, there are also some players who put up their pants and speak very tough.

It is different from starting with 20,000 yuan and posting soft articles in forums frequented by gentlemen on the Internet.

Now it depends on word of mouth among the gentlemen.

So for Chen Xu, just wait and collect the money.

"Well, now that I have the first fund, I will first change my workplace and then register a company."

"In addition, we have to plan our future development path carefully and get more points along the way."

In the rental house, Chen Xu was leaning on the bed and making the next plan.

As for points, Chen Xu also discovered it.

Although there is an increase, it is still relatively limited, just enough for 2 single draws.

While Chen Xu was thinking about it, the cell phone he put aside rang. He picked it up and took a look. The caller was Ruan Ningxue.

"Hey, Senior Ruan, what's the matter?" Chen Xu answered.

"Nothing, I just want to say hello to you. I thought before..." Ruan Ningxue on the other end of the phone was a little embarrassed.

However, Chen Xu probably knew what Ruan Ningxue wanted to say, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, senior, it's normal. In fact, I was a little surprised by the sales volume of "Magic Mirror"."

This statement is half true and half false. If it is false, it means that the success of "Magic Mirror" was completely within Chen Xu's expectation.

Whether it is the quality of the game itself, the follow-up publicity plan, or even the decision to use "Magic Mirror" as the first game, Chen Xu investigated it in advance and then planned it. It was not decided at once.

To be honest, the popularity of "Magic Mirror" is indeed a bit beyond Chen Xu's imagination.

Although it is the official overseas version of the platform, it is just a name. In fact, the main audience is domestic players.

But even so, the sales performance of "Magic Mirror" surprised Chen Xu.

At the same time, this also reminded Chen Xu once again that the market prosperity of the game industry in this world is much higher than in the previous life.

"By the way, Chen Xu, do you have time tonight? I'm just going to give you a celebration party. In addition, I have a friend who also wants to get to know you." Ruan Ningxue asked on the other end of the phone.

"No problem. In fact, I also want to treat you to a meal, senior sister. After all, without your help before, the development of "Magic Mirror" would not have been so easy." Chen Xu said sincerely.

Then the two chatted casually for a while before hanging up the phone.

Putting the phone next to him, Chen Xu went backstage and took another look at the sales volume of "Magic Mirror".

Cumulative sales in 6 days were 58,121 copies.

Its growth line is completely explosive. It is obvious that the fighting power of the gentlemen is extraordinary.

Judging from the current potential of "Magic Mirror", this is just the beginning.

You should know that some third-party platforms have just been launched.

When Chen Xu looked at the data of "Magic Mirror" and was delighted.

The indie game scene is less calm.

The media that noticed this game also began to collect relevant data about this game.

After all, with the theme of 18R, it has made it onto the praise list, which is really surprising.

At the same time, topics related to "Magic Mirror" also quickly began to ferment.

Relevant sales data is difficult to collect for ordinary players.

At first, the media and some practitioners who paid attention may think that there will be 10,000 or 20,000.

But with the announcement by a third-party statistical organization, people who pay attention to this game feel incredible.

Because the data given by a third-party organization turned out to be 50,000.

Compared with the actual sales volume, it is actually 8,000 lower, but even so, this data still shocked many designers.

Especially some designers who also make gentleman games feel that their world view has been subverted.

How can a gentleman's game sell so many copies? What a joke!

Is this number high

Not high. Top-notch masterpieces can sell millions of copies on the first day of their release. Some world-famous overseas masterpieces can even reach tens of millions of sales on the first day of their release.

Of course, you can't compare these games with "Mirror".

As an 18R game with no recommendations and a game from an independent producer, it shouldn’t be said that it was made by a non-game designer.

This data is simply explosive!

It has even broken the record in the gentleman’s game category.

Not to say it is unprecedented, but at least it is unprecedented. Before this, no gentleman's game had such explosive results as "Mirror".

And this is just the beginning.

Many designers of Gentleman Games have a hunch that they are about to witness history!

Regardless of whether this history is big or not, regardless of whether "Magic Mirror" is a gentleman's game, it is also history.
