The next day, just when everyone was addicted to the depressing, unsettling and terrifying charm of "Dark Forest", a notice was wildly reproduced by major game media.
This is the sales congratulations from Shuo Guangfa, the developer of "Dark Forest"!
At this time, this congratulation was reposted and pinned to the top by the editor of the Fourth Natural Disaster Club.
In one afternoon, the flame symbol appeared, which means that this post is highly discussed!
The title of this hot post is very simple, and at first glance it was written by the editor myself.
["Dark Forest" sales exceeded 24,000 on the first day! Good sales and good reputation! The developer announced: To thank you for your support, a VR game will be released in one month! 】
This news is undoubtedly a bombshell, and it has shocked the players!
What is the concept of 24W sales on the first day?
It’s more than 16 million banknotes!
An independent developer, without a team, made a horror game that actually sold 240,000 copies on the first day?
What kind of ability and talent is this!
In the past, domestic games could only break 20W in the first week or the first month.
I have never heard of someone breaking 20W on the first day!
I saw it today, and the one that topped the list was a horror game.
What an irony.
What reached the top was actually not the mainstream game Guns, Cars, and Ball, but a horror game that no one has ever played in, was not favored, and whoever does it will die!
At this time, netizens left messages below the post.
"Although I have guessed it a long time ago, it is really surprising that a domestic game sold 240,000 copies on the first day."
"The quality of the game is great! I think the sales are worth it! I bought it too and died like a dog in the third area."
"Whoever dares to look down on horror games now, just throw this sales volume in his face!"
"To be honest, those game companies should really see what a high-quality horror game is, and let them see how rubbish they are."
"What I'm more worried about is that junk manufacturers will follow suit and make horror games, and then another bunch of junk games will be on the market."
"Officially, this game has a process of more than 10 hours, but I am about to reach 10 hours, and now I am still lingering in the second area..."
"It's been 20 hours and I'm still in the second area, but I'm going to the third area soon."
There are many more discussions like this.
But it wasn't just first-day sales that were surprising.
The ones behind are even more exciting.
In the post, it was clearly stated that a VR game would be released in one month, so please stay tuned.
...
Will a VR game be released in a month?
After players saw this news, their first reaction was false news.
Everyone knows what the current situation of VR games is like.
Maybe the developer Shuo Guang is a very capable person.
But that doesn't mean he's superhuman.
Even major foreign companies are doing poorly in VR games, so what can he do alone! ?
So what if he recruits employees to develop together.
Major foreign manufacturers claim to have experienced teams of 100 people, but aren’t they just as crappy?
Not to mention it will be out in a month...?
It takes more than a month to develop any game!
If you pick up a random person on the street, do you want to see if he believes it?
Unless Shuoguang already has a team and has been secretly developing it for a long time!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to swear so confidently.
If this is the case, then "Dark Forest" was most likely not developed by him alone!
But in the final analysis, it is just speculation without conclusive evidence.
The game company I checked online found that there was indeed only Shuo Guang, no employees, and 0 people insured.
So everyone has a wait-and-see attitude.
"Any big spoilers, is this true or false?"
"A VR game will be released in a month? Although I haven't read any books, I'm not a fool!"
"Don't deceive us, those stinky gamers, Tie Baa!"
"You say your little-known small company can do something that even the famous big manufacturers can't do..."
"I hope the official won't do something like this that even the big guys don't understand. Isn't it good to just make computer games? If you earn tens of millions a day, you have to do some VR. If the quality is too poor, your reputation will be ruined." So friendly..."
"Don't do VR! Don't do this kind of dishonorable thing! That big foreign company has suffered miserably from doing VR. I still want to see Sinister 2, and I don't want to see you disband!"
"Good guy, the prophecy started upstairs, right?"
Regarding the news of a VR game being released in a month, there has been continuous discussion on the Internet for a while.
But Meng Shu, who was far away in the city, didn't know that he was cleaning the large intestine at this time, with wrapped dumplings and pig's feet beside him.
He was going to start preparing dinner.
Meng Shu smiled, and couldn't help but feel excited when he thought about the sales of the game.
The sales volume on the first day exceeded 24W, and it is still rising steadily. This result was something he really did not expect.
Earned 16.56 million in just one day.
After deducting a 30% commission, his actual income was 11.59 million.
And that’s just one day’s worth of sales!
one day!
Achieve a net worth of tens of millions!
So in order to celebrate, Meng Shu cooked the two elders' favorite food, which they seldom eat in daily life.
His mother in this world especially likes to eat dumplings.
But because I am too busy at work, I don’t have time to eat, so I haven’t eaten for more than a year.
Meng Shu specially made more than 60 buns today. Each one was plump and stuffed, and the meat inside was slaughtered by himself, not the meat grinder kind.
He also added carrots and water chestnuts and chopped them together, and finally sprinkled with chopped green onions and wrapped them, so that they tasted more refreshing and delicate.
It won't have an obvious slippery feel like the meat with muscles ground out of a meat grinder.
And his father, in his memory, always eats pig's feet every Chinese New Year.
The energy of chewing it is still fresh in my memory.
As for the fat sausage, Meng Xiaoran, who used to be a middle school student, was particularly disgusted and said it tasted too much, so his father slowly stopped eating it.
But Meng Shu knew very well that his father really wanted to eat it.
Even when we went home together, we could still see my father staring at the braised pork intestines on the street and unable to take his eyes away.
But Meng Shu was very ignorant at that time and couldn't understand the meaning at all.
But it's different now.
Today I am going to make braised pork trotters and stir-fried pork sausage for the father of this world.
As for little girl Meng.
A plate of braised chicken wings is enough.
While Meng Shu was handling the ingredients, he took advantage of the time to select games suitable for use as cases in the system mall.
Under the attribute panel, the number of people frightened in the dark forest item has changed from 6.70,000 people before to 23.90,000 people now.
This means that among the 240,000 people who bought the game, 23.90,000 people were scared.
The fright value also changed from the original 143,000 to 568,000.
With such a huge sum of money in hand, Meng Shu was so excited that he entered the mall on the spot and started choosing games.
He obviously cannot develop VR alone.
Art resources and original soundtrack composition all require manpower. The system will no longer give them to him for free, and he can't do it alone.
Not to mention porting the game to console platforms.
So recruiting people is inevitable.
In addition, a VR game needs to be made within a month.
Then the size of the game should not be too large, and it should be interesting enough.
Therefore, we need a game that is small, sophisticated, fun, and not easy to get bored of.
And a game like this...
Meng Shu looked at the expansion pack of a masterpiece.
Suddenly, the goal was determined in my mind.
DLC for "Resident Evil 7".
"21 o'clock"!
