Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

Chapter 22: Good reputation and sales

Views:

As more and more players come into contact with "Undertale", the data of the entire game is also rising rapidly.

And on many third-party game platforms, "Undertale" has also been listed on some recommendation lists.

Although Chen Xu doesn't like the channels in the parallel world as much as in his previous life.

But for now, it is beneficial and harmless to put "Undertale" on these game platforms. You're a bastard who doesn't make money.

Even if you are determined to change the structure of the game industry, there is one point that cannot be avoided.

That is: capital.

Therefore, among these third-party game platforms, Chen Xu also chose a few that were willing to retreat.

Although in the gaming circle, Chen Xu is a newcomer.

But there are still differences from ordinary game designers.

First of all, "Mirror" can be said to have a guaranteed sales performance, and secondly, thanks to the hype of Zhong Media, "Undertale" has its own traffic.

Therefore, there are still some third-party channels that are willing to make concessions when it comes to the commission ratio.

This is one of the reasons why Chen Xu is willing to log in.

Judging from the current results, the sales growth of "Under the Legend" can be said to be quite gratifying.

… … …

When Chen Xu was paying attention to the sales of "Under Legend".

Many game designers in the independent game circle were also shocked by "Undertale".

A small group of independent game designers.

"Holy shit, shit, shit! I can only use three shits to describe the game "Undertale". I thought the media reporter was right before. What kind of good game can this Chen Xu make? But Now I can only say absolutely!"

"What's going on? Is it that exaggerated? Didn't you buy this rating?"

"What are you thinking? How could it be that you bought it? Forget it from a third party, just buy one and see if it's official."

"That's right, don't be ridiculous. Did you swipe it? Can you swipe it on the official platform for me to see? Aren't you afraid of being revoked as a designer and blacklisted?"

"I recommend that those who have never played it give it a try. I was really shocked. I can only describe it as incredible!"

"To be honest, my new game was originally ready to be released next week, but now I guess it will take a while longer."

"Is it so exaggerated?"

"How should I put it? From the outside, this is an ordinary game, but there are several different endings in the game. The first time I played it was shocking, the second time I played it the peaceful ending was warm, and the third time I played it the ending was heartwarming. The massacre ending made me burst into tears."

"I just laughed when I said that "Mirror" changed the world of gentleman games, but I think "Undertale" may lead to a wave of craze for this game mode!"

"Isn't that exaggerating? Isn't this starting a sect?"

"It doesn't count as establishing a sect, but it can definitely be called carrying it forward, and I believe that "Undertale" will definitely be a name that can't be avoided when mentioning this type of game in the future."

As everyone started talking, someone in the group suddenly sent a push article from a public account.

"Stop talking and read Chen Xu's official blog!"

"Holy shit! Is this really a human?"

“Double success in sales and reputation!?”

"Sales have already exceeded 100,000 in just 3 days? Isn't that too exaggerated?"

Everyone clicked in and took a look, only to see that it was Chen Xu's official blog.

A very simple thank you message on the official blog, still related to "Undertale".

'Thanks to all the players for your support, the sales volume of "Under Legend" has exceeded 100,000, but I believe this is not the end! '

Chen Xu did not hide these data.

On the one hand, this is not a big secret. It is expected that a third-party research agency will announce it in a few days. Although it is definitely different from the actual situation, it is not wrong.

The second reason is publicity. With such a good reputation, it can just add fuel to the fire.

Disclosing the data is obviously a good way to generate conversation.

As Chen Xu exposed the sales volume, it was not just the retired game designers who were shocked.

Also shocked were some major media outlets that paid attention to this.

A little-known little game, coupled with a designer who previously developed a gentleman game, and a certain game designer who had a verbal dispute before.

This topic is really hot.

And the data performance of "Under Legend" is also quite explosive.

Before this, some game media felt that "Undertale" was not worth mentioning, but now it can be said that their faces are swollen.

For ordinary players who have played this game, they only have one feeling.

That is, "Under the Legend" has such ratings and results, I can only say: it deserves it.

The impressive characters in the game, especially the final ending, are really shocking.

Before playing this game, no player could have imagined that a game could do this!

All players have a feeling that they have a feeling of witnessing history.

This "Undertale" may leave a bright mark in the history of independent games.

At the same time, other media outlets also followed up with news.

"Sales exceeded 100,000 in 3 days!" The rating is as high as 9.9! 》

"An independent game masterpiece, a must-play for players!" 》

"A special RPG that subverts players' perceptions of RPGs!" 》

"Player: I'm played by this game!" 》

"Incredible Game!" Incredible results! 》

"The first time brings shock, the second time brings warmth, the third time brings pain, and the fourth time brings thinking"

There is no doubt that "Undertale" is a hit, and it was initially well received by some media and players.

Then it spread among the game designers circle, because the setting of "Undertale" is completely different from other previous games.

Not only in terms of plot, but also in terms of expression.

For example, Xiaohua in the game seems to be talking to the player through the screen.

This kind of design makes all game designers feel like they have opened a skylight.

If you really want to say it, the previous version of "Undertale" was not a game with strong META elements.

Because except for the beginning and ending, the interruptions in the middle are actually about various characters in the game such as Shansi, Papyrus, and Sister Yu.

It is also because of this that "Undertale" is more immersive than ordinary META games.

When the secret of the game's ending is revealed, players will have an extremely strong sense of shock.

And behind each ending, there is also a kind of philosophical thinking and reflection hidden.

This is also the biggest feature of META games.

In terms of meta elements alone, "Undertale" is actually inferior to The Stanley Fable and Pony Island.

But in the parallel world, the concept of meta games is not even a germ.

The meta setting of "Undertale" itself cooperates with the plot, and the impact it brings to players is obviously countless times stronger than in the previous life.

Especially with the live broadcast platform and video platform, showing some content in "Undertale" in front of players has completely made this fire even more intense.
