In the next few days, Lu Li's life returned to two points and one line, traveling between the classroom and the dormitory.
Currently, the freshman card-making class is still in the stage of teaching the "Basic Circuit of Star Cards", and the content on "card-making materials" is not expected to be available until December.
Therefore, Lu Li only had to take classes with the sophomore.
The little fat man seemed a little free.
You can still see him dozing during class, but after class he is nowhere to be found.
Lu Li was often the only one left in the spacious and bright dormitory.
But this was just right. The quiet environment allowed Lu Li to calm down and study the "Mario Bros." game cards.
Compared with the previous two game cards, Lu Li has once again made innovations in this product, which naturally brings difficulties in developing new products.
Lu Li used a carving knife to draw the circuit on the card again and again, and inserted the star card into the game console again and again for testing.
The difficulty of troubleshooting for a "1+2" star card game is several times that of a single card game.
You never know whether there is an error in the texture of the star card, or there is an error in the combination of the two star cards.
This greatly increases the time it takes for Luli to issue new cards.
...
For Lu Li, this period of time was very peaceful.
But for the gaming industry as a whole, these days are more like the calm before the storm.
The current industry giant, Page Games, has launched a sequel to its popular game Star Force, which is about to be released after a year of planning.
They are both afraid and looking forward to what kind of changes this long-standing game will bring to the entire industry.
They expect this game to be great, so that it can attract more people's attention to the gaming industry.
In this way, Page Game Company is like the big pig in the "Smart Pig Game", working hard in exchange for a lot of food, while the remaining companies are like the little pigs, able to get some of the leftover food from the big pig.
You can make a profit without spending too much effort.
But they are also afraid that "Star Force 2" will be too good and form an industry monopoly.
If this is the case, other small companies that happen to be producing competing games will be very miserable. They will most likely choose to stop their losses in time, swing their swords at themselves, and cut off the entire game project team.
When the entire industry turned its attention to Page Game Company, a few interested people discovered that Carp Star Card House was also going to release new products.
Obviously, this kind of collision is more like "hitting an egg with a stone."
Not to mention the hard power of the game, the early promotional resources alone have put Star Card House at a disadvantage.
After all, the promotional resources on the entire Star Network are limited.
For example, advertising spaces on major websites.
For a game that has been brewing for a whole year, Uncle Page will of course confidently choose ALL IN to promote it.
As long as you spend money with a big wave of your hand, media websites such as Xiaolanzhan will immediately promote "Star Force 2" overwhelmingly.
As a result, one game takes up most of the online promotional resources, leaving less promotional resources for other games.
Whether there is enough publicity before the game is released will have a great impact on the subsequent sales of a game. This is one of the reasons why other game companies do not release new games during this period.
However, Carp Star Card House didn’t seem to care.
Their second game, "Snake and Minesweeper" was only promoted on the official bib and Xiaolan website homepages, and the perfunctory feeling almost overflowed the screen.
It is true that the first game "Tetris" did have a good response, and Star Card House's debut game has surpassed many companies' strongest products.
However, they are releasing games too quickly.
The release of the last game has not even been a week, and two more games have been launched non-stop.
"Are they messing it up?"
Almost everyone has this idea for honey operations like Carp Star Card House.
You know, the saying "debut is the peak" is still valid for game companies.
However, everyone has a show-stopping attitude towards Carp Star Card House’s “head-strong” approach.
After all...a dead Taoist friend is better than a poor Taoist.
As for herself, Yu Xin was more nervous.
Ever since she learned about the "Ten Million Bet", Sister Xin was already very anxious, and now she crashed just in time for the release, which made the situation even worse.
However, the validity period of the bet is limited to October. If they want to make enough profits in this short period of more than half a month, they have to release the game as soon as possible.
Yu Xin even called Lu Li on the eve of the game's release.
"Lu Li, can we really complete the 10 million profit bet?"
Even through his cell phone, Lu Li could tell that Secretary Yu was anxious.
He had no choice but to put down the carving knife in his hand and comforted softly: "I am still developing a new game. I guarantee 100% that this game will definitely win us the bet."
In this world, using a game to make tens of millions of profits in half a month seems to be a fantasy.
But Lu Li was different.
He has witnessed the "Mario Miracle".
At that time, after the catastrophe of the ATARI crisis, many professionals once asserted that the TV game market in the United States would not recover for twenty years. However, the plumber wearing overalls restored the market to ATARI in just three years. conditions in its heyday.
In the Famicom market, "Mario Brothers" was a hit that killed gods and Buddhas, and it earned US$400 million in revenue that year.
The purchase price of the only currency "star coins" in this world is roughly the same as the Chinese coins in the previous life, which means that 400 million US dollars is equivalent to more than 2 billion star coins.
In comparison, wouldn’t a profit of 10 million be easy?
After multiple confirmations, Yu Xin finally hung up the phone in doubt.
Now that the sales of Snake and Minesweeper are imminent, they have to be released, and everything can only be left to the market.
As for what Lu Li said, there is another game that can create miracles, so now we can only choose to believe it.
...
The next day, the sun rose as usual.
The release time of Star Force 2 is 12 noon sharp, and it will be released simultaneously in mobile phone stores and shopping malls in many places in the Eastern Federation.
The gaming industry is so devoid of human rights that it doesn’t even have a dedicated gaming store and can only rely on major electronics malls.
At nine o'clock in the morning, long queues were already forming at the entrances of major shopping malls, and various express delivery points also received many packaging boxes with the "Page Game Company" logo printed on them.
What's more, major anchors in the game area such as Foxfire have obtained games in advance through the game company's internal channels.
The release of Star Force 2 is proceeding in an orderly manner.
