Because they want to save on heating costs, a pure boy and girl sleep in the same room together at night. This kind of thing is too cliché.
But Shen Yu didn't want to sleep with Li Xiang. She was not honest at all when sleeping. She had already seen it during her last vacation.
"Then my dad and mommy also sleep together? Why can't you sleep together?"
Su Zhifu still couldn't understand it. Although she was extremely clever and came up with this method that could save half of the heating costs, she didn't expect that Brother Shenyu and Sister Lixiang unanimously expressed their opposition.
"Can it be the same? Can you sleep with your parents?"
"I sleep by myself because I'm not afraid of the cold and I'm very strong."
Shen Yu didn't want to talk to her, so after finishing the hot pot, he took Puff home.
Before coming out, Li Xiang was clearing away the dishes. He remembered that she seemed to have mentioned it at noon and said that the dishwashing gloves at home seemed to be running out, so he bought five pairs and took them back with him.
"Come back so soon?"
Li Xiang tidied up the kitchen and installed hot water pipes, so washing dishes in winter would not be so painful.
In fact, it would be nice to have Shen Yu fetch hot water for her every time, and then they would talk together in the kitchen, but she was always afraid of tiring him.
"Where to put the gloves?" Shen Yu gestured with the plastic bag in his hand.
"Eh? Mr. Shen Yu, you helped me buy gloves!" Li Xiang looked very surprised. When they went out together in the afternoon, she also forgot to buy them. She didn't expect that Shen Yu would remember it. No, she didn't seem to have told him about the gloves. The right thing to do...
Anyway, Shen Yu bought her gloves, which was something she didn't expect. Girls always like little surprises like this.
"Just on my way."
Chen Yu put the gloves in the cupboard, wanting to help with some work, but she had almost finished cleaning them.
"Is there anything else to do?"
"No, Mr. Shen Yu, go and get busy!"
"Does this bacon need to be dried?"
"Yeah, put it on the rope, marinate it overnight, and then dry it tomorrow."
"Let me do it."
Shen Yu finally found a job he could do. He picked up the pot of cured bacon on the kitchen table. The five large pieces of pork plus the pot weighed more than ten kilograms. She had such little strength, it must have been difficult to carry it.
Without waiting for Li Xiang to stop him, he took the pot of meat to the first floor, then found a rope and put it on piece by piece. After doing this, he finally felt a little more comfortable and could sit in front of the computer and work without any burden.
This can be regarded as a new way of coping that Shen Yu has found. He knows that Li Xiang is very good to him. If he does nothing, it will be like suffering her kindness in vain, and the pressure will become greater and greater, and his mind will be full of thoughts. He will keep thinking about her until he accidentally discovers that he is also good to her. This pressure will be offset, but he will inevitably fall into another cycle: Li Xiang is good to him, and he is good to Li Xiang. Then Lixiang was very happy and treated him better. In order to relieve the pressure, he could only treat her a little better... and finally got married where they were.
After being busy on the first floor until around 11 o'clock in the evening, Shen Yu yawned and went upstairs to wash up and go to bed.
I habitually turned off the light in the living room to see if she was sleeping. Sure enough, as before, there was light under the crack of her door.
Shen Yu was quite curious. The art work had been completed two days ago, and Li Xiang hadn't opened a new picture book yet. What was she messing around with so late at night
Yesterday morning, Shen Yu asked her tentatively, but she hesitated and said that she was reading and reviewing recently.
What a liar. If she is really reading and studying, Shen Yu will live broadcast her confession on the spot.
She didn't want to say it, so she didn't get to the bottom of it. When she passed the door of her room, she coughed as usual, and the lights in her room were immediately turned off.
…
After a week of testing and platform review process, "Blue-2120" is scheduled to be released on December 15th. The first version is for the computer. The size of the entire game installation reaches twelve G. Unlike other love games, CG The resource only occupies less than two gigabytes of space. Almost all of this memory is occupied by programs. The price has been set at nineteen yuan, which is considered a very affordable price among many love games.
The entire development team consisted of three people and lasted two and a half months. Shen Yu was responsible for all programs including UI and modeling, Li Xiang was responsible for scripts, original paintings, vertical paintings and other art work, and Jiang Ningle helped her.
If he really had to calculate the development cost of the entire game from scratch, Shen Yu would have no idea. After all, the AI interactive core program equipped with the program was copied from Xiaomeng No. 1, and he had already invested an unknown amount of time in developing Xiaomeng No. 1. and energy.
The wages of Li Xiang and Jiang Ningle have not yet been settled, and they have never mentioned their wages to him. However, after all, the ownership of the game is Sanlan Technology. Shen Yu deserves to have his wages settled. He is not stingy. According to the scripts on the market, Based on the quotations for original paintings and vertical paintings, he owed Li Xiang about 60,000 yuan in salary and Jiang Ningle about 15,000 yuan in salary.
Then he has to make back his money from this game. After all, all his savings have been used up. If he wants to upgrade further in the future, he can't get money from his father and can only earn it by himself.
The platform's commission is 30%. In fact, after excluding various miscellaneous fees, the actual profit is only about half.
Set a small goal first, sell it for 200,000 yuan, that is, sell 10,000 copies, and get about 100,000 yuan. Pay off their salaries first, and then talk about the rest.
Those with three-digit sales will fall into the dust; those with four-digit sales are the best results that most independent games can achieve without relying on promotion; those with five-digit sales will have obvious highlights and innovations, which is very important for independent games. , which can be something to be proud of; those with six figures and above are guaranteed by major companies, and have good IP or publicity; seven or eight figures, that is the range between quasi-phenomenal and phenomenal works, and independent games do not need it Think about it.
Ten thousand copies sold! I'm a little confused by the simple calculation of this number. It's still quite difficult. Only when I make the game myself can I understand the miserable mood of the game producer crying on Weibo, "The game is unsaleable, please save the children." .
"Blue-2120" has the highlights and innovations of the game, but its shortcomings are also obvious. After all, there are only three people working on it. As a love game with exquisiteness as its main selling point, it still looks relatively rough.
There are not many romance games in China, and almost all of them are losing money. Some are living on the bottom line, buying peripherals, and fishing to make ends meet. This is also related to the type of game. The user base is niche, the gameplay is insufficient, and the social nature is lacking. The core players The most important thing is the CG painting, the fringe players value the plot, and the new players value the rush, CTRL all the way to get the job done.
Including the fans in "Chen Yu Luoyan's Love Game R&D Daily", most of them are just watching the excitement. Although they know that "Blue-2120" is equipped with a unique AI interactive core, they have never seen it and don't know what it is. What kind of interaction method? If you just interact with the AI machine, it would be better to CTRL all the way to have fun.
Most fans who are looking forward to "Blue-2120" are almost attracted by the CG of the game. The characters drawn by Rika are enough to make this group of love game lovers look forward to it, both in terms of their beauty and style.
Of course, there are also some fans who are interested in the AI interactive core program. Not many of these people have played love games before. They simply come to see Mr. Shenyu demonstrate his skills and want to see what is being discussed in the forum every day. What kind of AI can people boast about
Chen Yu does not have extra funds to promote the game, and the game platform will only arrange recommendations based on the game's sales. Therefore, if he wants to sell at least 10,000 copies of the game, he can only rely on "Chen Yu Luoyan's love game R&D routine" in the early stage. The fans inside worked hard.
Shen Yu feels that Li Xiang is really useful and becoming more and more useful.
The day before the game was released, Li Xiang and Shen Yu started live streaming on Bizhan for the first time.
Before the game was launched, she also talked a lot with Chen Yu and knew that at least 10,000 copies would be sold to make back the money.
It didn't matter whether she wanted a salary or not. After all, Shen Yujun's affairs were her business. She was going to get married anyway, so it didn't matter. In order for him not to frown, Li Xiang would naturally try her best to help him.
She manages the account and updates the video every one or two days. The account now has 180,000 fans and is very active on a daily basis. In addition, today's live broadcast preview started a week ago. Hot, before it even started, there were already many wild fans chatting among themselves in the live broadcast room.
[Why haven't you started yet]
[It must not be a pigeon]
[All of you Cao thieves came very early.]
[I heard that Luoyanjiang was going to have a live broadcast with Chen Yu today, so I set an alarm and waited]
[Didn’t I say the game will be released tomorrow?]
[It’s only twenty yuan, I’m ready]
[I'm already obsessed with Arya]
[Don’t have too high expectations]
[Yeah, it’s a game made by two people, as long as they can play it]
[Where is my wife]
[Will the plot content be revealed during this live broadcast?]
[If the spoilers are revealed, then what are you going to do?]
[Thieves! It's almost time! Has VIP been charged?]
At 8:50 in the evening, Shen Yu and Li Xiang were both in the studio on the first floor, and Li Xiang was adjusting the camera.
"Shen Yujun, are you ready?"
Li Xiang was dressed beautifully today, specially dressed for today's live broadcast. Shen Yu was also dressed handsomely and had a hair style.
"Um."
Shen Yu is quite calm. He has won a lot of awards since he was a child. He is indispensable when speaking in public. During the live broadcast, he is no different from his usual ones. You can't see too many expressions.
"Your hair is sticking up..."
Lixiang adjusted the camera, ran towards him, bent down in front of him, stretched out her little hand to smooth his hair.
The two of them were very close, and Shen Yu could smell the sweet aroma coming from the shop. It smelled very good.
"Thank you..." Shen Yu suddenly said to her.
"Mr. Shen Yu, you're so polite!" Li Xiang helped him smooth his hair and went over to start the live broadcast.
Shen Yu didn't explain much. The thank you he said didn't just refer to helping him smooth his hair. Li Xiang really helped him a lot during the entire development and release process of "Blue-2120". Although he usually didn't say it , but keep it in mind, this is not just a matter of paying the salary, but a sincere thank you to her from the bottom of my heart.
"Hello~!" She hugged the little bear she gave as a gift, sat on the sofa with Shen Yu, and shook her little hand at the camera: "Good evening, everyone! I'm Luo Yan!"
Chen Yu also greeted everyone with an official smile: "Good evening everyone, I am Chen Yu."
"Today is our first live broadcast, and the operation is still a bit unfamiliar. I'm very sorry for keeping you waiting for so long!"
With Li Xiang's appearance, a lot of 'wives' floated through the barrage. Shen Yu finally knew what reality meant. He stared at the barrage and searched for a long time, but none of them wanted to see him. , including fans in his forum, have now switched sides to Li Xiang.
Li Xiang waved her hands quickly: "I'm not your wife! Don't call me that!"
After saying that, she bumped Shen Yu again with her shoulder. By some strange coincidence, Shen Yu felt unhappy when she saw so many people calling her wife, so she sat a little closer to Li Xiang. She bumped into him, and then he bumped into her too. Replying to her, the two of them just bumped into each other in front of the camera.
Another large bunch of lemons floated across the barrage.
In fact, tonight's live broadcast is simply to chat with everyone, talk about the launch of the game, and answer some fans' questions about the game.
The atmosphere of the entire live broadcast was quite relaxed. The actual number of people watching the live broadcast was estimated to be between five and six thousand, and they also received a lot of small gifts.
Near the end, Shen Yu also said to everyone: "I hope you can come and support the trial. You will not be disappointed."
Fans' reaction was muted.
Li Xiang hugged Shen Yu's arm and rubbed him, like a couple in distress, she pursed her lips and said pitifully to the thieves in front of the camera:
"We are almost out of money to eat. As you can see, we are eating the dried radish we made every day. Even the wedding money was used to play this game. We are really very attentive! So please be sure to Support me, please, please! Please!"
As soon as she acted coquettishly, her fans immediately went crazy.
The overwhelming barrage floated past—
[I can’t do it anymore! I can’t do it anymore!]
[The defense is broken, the defense is broken]
[Is all the wedding money gone? This is so pitiful!]
[Finally admit it! I've known for a long time that you two were spreading shit under the guise of playing games!]
[purchase! Must buy! I'll buy ten copies!]
[You can’t starve our Luoyan even if you starve a sinking fish!]
[Wait, I’m going to call someone to rush in now!]
[Let’s put Weilan on the new game list!]
Seeing everyone's enthusiastic response, Shen Yu was confused, why are we getting married? It was obvious that she was taking advantage of the opportunity again!
But Shen Yu still reacted. He was stiff for a while, but he didn't push Li Xiang away. Instead, he gently hugged her shoulders and said to everyone with a bitter look on his face: "She suffered a lot with me... This time If we can make money... we will get married... "
Li Xiang's heart was beating wildly. She snuggled next to Shen Yu, raised her little face to look at him, and then hugged him! In the eyes of the audience on the other side of the camera, this emotion is as deep as the sea. Could it be fake
[ye cried]
[Is this love and bread]
[This wave is considered a gift from me to you two]
[Please get married immediately where you are!]
[Don’t miss such a good girl, bastard!]
This mediocre live broadcast finally ignited the enthusiasm of fans in the last few minutes before it ended. No one knew how the game was, but they had followed the daily lives of Shen Yu and Luo Yan for two months. For I am still very willing to support this game that was produced by the two of them.
…
The game was put on the shelves at midnight that night, and many loyal fans have been watching it. They clicked to buy it as soon as it was put on the shelves.
Similarly, because the topic is quite popular, some game trial review bloggers also downloaded and tried it as soon as possible. If it is fun, they will recommend it, and if it is not fun, they will complain.
Now it's the dead of night and when you feel lonely, wouldn't it be nice to turn on the game and fall in love with a two-dimensional girl
Shen Yu and Li Xiang didn't sleep either. They were watching the data in the background in front of the computer screen.
Within an hour, the number of people who purchased the download exceeded 1,500.
This is still the zero point data. It will definitely continue to rise tomorrow morning. These are basically fans who came here specifically to support. It is relatively late now. According to this increase, Shen Yu estimates that the number of buyers will exceed 5,000 within 24 hours. It should be a problem. Not big, but in the future, we can only rely on the game itself.
There are also comments from players in the game comment area:
[Gift money has been received]
[This game is too big, and the computer memory is not enough. For the sake of Luoyan Jiang’s happiness, I still bought it]
[Gift money has been received +99]
There are no reviews based on game content yet, fans are here to send gift money.
"Blue-2120" has two plot lines. How it will develop depends entirely on the interaction between the player and the AI. It is impossible for anyone to finish the plot so quickly in a short time.
"Aren't you going to bed yet?" Shen Yu looked at Li Xiang beside him.
Lixiang's face was flushed with excitement. It was already past one in the morning, and she was not sleepy at all.
"I'm not sleepy! We received a lot of gifts!"
She read the comments one by one, and there were even wedding blessings for her and Shen Yu, which made her extremely happy.
Even though I don't even have a boyfriend yet, I'm already receiving gift money. This is so dreamy, even shojo manga wouldn't draw it like this!
Seeing her big eyes staring at the screen, Shen Yu murmured cautiously:
"Don't take it seriously... You were the one who messed up first."
"You, you didn't even propose! I definitely can't marry you!"
Lixiang was so embarrassed. How could anyone want a wife without proposing? She didn't say "give for free" on her face. It was too much!
