At this time, Meng Shu, who was in Shencheng, felt his head hurt as he looked at his private message.
Since "Dark Forest" became popular, his private messages and comments have been 99+ every day
In addition to praise, there are also abuses and business cooperation.
But most of them are asking game-related questions.
At first, he would watch it carefully.
But as time goes by, work becomes busier and busier.
He has slowly stopped reading comments and private messages.
I just occasionally open it and take a look when I have free time.
But that's about it.
Because I can’t finish it!
Now, just as Meng Shu closed the webpage and rubbed his swollen head, the manager of Infinite Entertainment called Lian.
After the call was connected, there was no greeting or business-like hello.
Just open the skylight and speak frankly.
[Mr. Meng, have you received the planning plan we sent you by email? According to the wishes of our planning department, maybe we can follow the marketing method of "Sky Mountain" and adopt the form of pre-sale preview? ]
After hearing this, Meng Shu remembered that this was indeed the case.
After he read the plan, it was getting late and he was preparing to reply the next day.
As a result, he forgot about it the next day.
Now, after being reminded by his supervisor, he found the Word document on his computer desktop. Then he opened it and nodded in response.
"Sorry, I received the plan and read it over. The content is very detailed and you can do this. The success of the last game shows that this pre-sale preview is indeed a way to increase players' expectations. This time it is Just keep using it.”
"Also, what's going on with Club H and Club C in Japan? It says that they hope to win the pre-broadcast qualification, but don't we have a cooperative individual Vtuber?"
Manager Lian heard this and responded immediately.
[Mr. Meng, during the pre-sale preview of "Sky Mountain", these two Japanese companies were unwilling to accept the order because they disliked the low price we gave. So when I had no choice, I contacted other individual virtual anchors. ]
[But now that they saw that many people became popular because of the live broadcast of "Sky Mountain", they felt a little regretful and wanted to make up for this opportunity, so they took the initiative to contact us. ]
[And this time we don’t need to pay for them to live broadcast. On the contrary, they also hope to pay enough to buy pre-broadcast qualifications, just to earn traffic in advance before the release. ]
[We here want to talk to you about how to do it. ]
Meng Shu looked at the document, rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and nodded.
"These two virtual anchor companies should be quite large, right?"
[Not small indeed. ]
Manager Lian answered in a calm tone.
[Basically a global virtual anchor company, headquartered in Japan, with branches in America and other countries. Their virtual female anchors are simply money-making machines. If possible, you can indeed cooperate with them. ]
I see...
Meng Shu nodded. He didn't know much about the virtual anchor circle, and now he felt a little enlightened.
But he soon regained his composure, and even picked up the water glass and took a sip.
"We don't need to pay for promotion, but they pay for it themselves, so there's no need to struggle with money. It's up to you to decide."
"Also, have you determined the price of the game?"
Manager Lian on the other end of the phone responded immediately, and at the same time there was the sound of paper being turned.
[Hmm... let me see. Yes, since this game is currently a regular version, given the PVP online mode you mentioned later, Mr. Meng. The company decided to create an additional deluxe version. The pricing is...499 yuan for the regular version and 699 yuan for the deluxe version. Players who buy the deluxe version will get the PVP you mentioned for free...]
"Who sets the price?"
Meng Shu frowned, interrupted Director Lian before she could finish speaking, and asked in a deep voice.
[The company's promotion department determines it by calculating the advertising fees, fees paid for cooperation with overseas companies, as well as taxes, sharing and other expenditures. Finally, the price was finally set after considering more than 5 times the profit margin based on these expenses. ]
After hearing this, Meng Shu shook his head.
"Have you not considered the receptive capacity of the player group? They are not working-class people who all have a certain ability to make money. There are also students and freelancers. And even the working-class people will probably not spend so much money to buy a game. Games. Because even if they buy it, they won’t have much time to play it. According to this price, many people may choose to buy it at a discount or play through the game in the cloud, which is not worth the gain.”
"Pricing must be appropriate. If the price is too high, a group of players will be screened out first. I won't comment on how your promotion department thinks about recovering costs, but you must also consider whether the players have purchasing power. 499? 699? Compared with high The price is three times the profit, and I prefer small profits but quick turnover.”
"Games are a long-term sales process. They don't stop selling after a certain period of time. It can be sold in one year, it can be sold in two years, it can still be sold in three years, and it can be sold at a discount during the holidays. , don’t worry about no one buying it. So if your initial price is so high, it will make a group of players hesitate, make a group of players feel powerless, and give them an ugly feeling. The reputation we have created will also be somewhat Influence."
"What's more, I have already said that the PVP mode will be free, and you still do it like this. I don't agree with it."
Manager Lian on the other end of the phone pondered for a while before asking.
[Mr. Meng, how much do you think it should be? In terms of the quality of your game, too low is not good either. ]
"Of course, I also have a company to support. So let's go with the price of "Sky Mountain", which is 298 yuan. The selling price in other countries is similar to the average, so don't set a high price randomly. In addition, there is no need to distinguish between the regular version and the gold version. Version is OK, just unify the regular version. When the online mode is finished later, it will be updated for free, and there is no need to go through so many twists and turns. In addition to making money, I don't want to lose my reputation when I make games."
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then responded in a deep voice.
[I understand Mr. Meng, I will discuss it with the department head. ]
...
In this way, a few days later, the cyber platform opened the store interface of "Containment Breach" and opened pre-orders.
In order to avoid the situation like the last time "Sky Mountain" where the server was full and unable to purchase, some players chose to purchase in advance.
However, this pre-order does not have a pre-order bonus like "Sky Mountain", it is just an early sale.
And at the same time, Meng Shu announced the pre-sale promotion method and time under his Danmaku account, in tandem with Infinite Entertainment.
Many anchors who have obtained pre-broadcast qualifications have expressed their joy in their own posts.
Even the main website of Danmaku.com has specially created an APP opening screen advertisement to promote it.
They even made a separate reminder page, listing anchors who are qualified for live broadcasting, so that players can choose who they like to watch.
Then through live broadcast booking, Danmaku.com can provide text message notification on the day of broadcast.
Therefore, with the investment in publicity and distribution on video networks, information networks, classified information networks, game portals, etc., the game "Containment Breach" is known to almost half of the people who surf the Internet.
Even many people who don’t play games have heard of it.
Some people who play games are naturally looking forward to it.
People who don’t play games also went to Danmaku.com to pay attention to the micro-movie on the W-087 stairwell.
They really want to see what kind of game can spawn such a horror short film with innovative techniques, unique ideas, and a perfect look and feel.
During this period of time, the Jiyou network was surprisingly quiet, without any sound.
However, players have long forgotten about them. They only know that there is no news about "Bloody Scientist" now.
Compared with the popularity of "Containment Breach" on the eve of its release, everyone has forgotten about the horror game from Giyu.
You said it would be okay for you to announce something out of the blue, to prove your existence! Skill game!
Although there is no news about technical games, CA’s new ratings have been announced.
After the previous extremely irresponsible rating of 5.9, the new rating appears to be more professional.
The specifics are not much different from JM’s review.
And the final score...
It’s also 10 points!
At this point, players are completely salivating over the game.
Two well-known media evaluation agencies in the world both gave it 10 points!
Which means Containment Breach will never disappoint!
Maybe even more fun than Sky Mountain!
So, the days passed day by day, and the players waited day by day.
Topics in major forums are constantly hot, and the situation is similar overseas.
After all, this is the second VR game to go global!
Every player is extremely excited!
Throughout the history of games, few games have such high popularity and topic before release.
Many independent game producers expressed their blessings for the game on V-Bo on the eve of its release, hoping that everything would go well.
As for other game companies, just like Jiyou Network, there is no movement at all.
So, amidst all the anticipation, another day passed.
Finally, it was 8:30 pm on the day of the pre-sale preview.
Many people received a text message on their cell phones.
That is...
"Containment Breach" is now on air!
