Chapter 70 Player Quality
As expected.
The updated content of the new version of "Star Emperor" quickly aroused heated discussions among players.
"I heard it mentioned by a friend at noon, and I thought I heard it wrong. But when I went home and played a game, I thought, Brother Ba, are you serious?"
"Brother Ba, fly with peace of mind, Ba fans will always be with you!"
"I thought that creating a joint graphics card was Brother Ba's limit. Unexpectedly, I still underestimated Brother Ba..."
"Stop scolding me. If you want to blame me, it's your fault for not spending money. Look what you've done to Brother Ba!"
"Let me tell you, the price is quite affordable. Brothers who plan to buy a new graphics card should definitely look for Xianyu Digital."
The player community is still very friendly.
This game mall run by Chen Ba does not sell game props or game skins. Can this be called in-app purchase? This is clearly outsourcing!
"It makes people laugh, but it doesn't make them laugh!"
Jiang Bin, editor of the well-known stand-alone portal website, wrote in the latest Game News column: "Although it is funny that a game studio sells graphics cards, it can also be seen that Tianba Studio really did not develop "Star Emperor" How much money did you earn..."
If in-app purchases make a lot of money, or the game sales are high, is it necessary for Tianba Studio to do this?
Obviously, the "Star Emperor" project did not bring much income to Tianba Studio.
This information report by Game Star quickly gained recognition and resonance from the majority of "Star Emperor" players.
Some players probably feel that "Star Emperor" is indeed a very fun game, and it doesn't hurt to support it with in-app purchases. So after this report came out, they spent money to buy Origin Stones.
Especially the player [Aikai Cullinan] directly charged 20W worth of Source Stone to express his attitude.
This greatly moved Chen Ba.
Oh my god, I have implemented an in-app purchase model, and I finally see money! Although the total turnover is not high, at least it can be seen that some players really like Star Emperor.
Maybe this is the so-called die-hard fan!
What is sad is that the number of die-hard fans of "Star Emperor" may not be many, not even a fraction of the popular game. But these die-hard fans are all Immortal Kings, Immortal Emperors, and at last, mortal immortals!
What does this mean?
It shows that the quality of core players is very high!
Immortal King, Immortal Emperor, what level of bosses are they? With such a group of die-hard fans, it should not be a problem to say that the average fan quality of "Star Emperor" is the best on the Internet.
"3090, 3080, 4080, 4090... many of these flagship graphics card users are "Star Emperor" players."
Yang Dong grinned and said: "If we can be recognized by such a group of high-quality fans, they will buy our new game even if it is priced at a few hundred yuan."
"You are right, but there are too few people in this group."
Chen Ba shook his head.
It is undeniable that the player base of "Star Emperor" is indeed of high quality, top-notch leek seedlings! But because of this, the number of this group will not be too large.
This is also the reason why "Star Emperor" is obviously very popular, but its cumulative sales have not exceeded 500,000 copies.
Yes, less than 500,000 copies were sold.
It's not as good as the first two mini-games. The only good news is that the standard version of "Star Emperor" is priced as high as 50 yuan, so although the sales are low, the income is still good.
"Then this report..."
After finding out from Brother Ba that the actual profits of "Star Emperor" were good, Xiao Lu pointed to Jiang Bin's column newsletter and asked: "Brother Ba, did you spend money to buy the soft article?"
"Sure!"
Chen Ba's face was not red and his heart was not beating and he said: "How can we stimulate so many players to spend money to recharge Origin Stones without selling them?"
Xiao Lu: "..."
A dog is still a Ba Ge dog!
Not only ordinary players, but also everyone in the studio thought that the revenue of "Star Emperor" was not satisfactory, causing Brother Ba to be worried every day and get drunk every night.
Little did he know that Brother Ba had already laughed like crazy.
"Ahem!"
After clearing his throat, Chen Ba continued: "Although "Star Emperor" made money, don't be too happy, it really didn't make much."
"Considering the slow sales growth of "Hanchuang Kushu Simulator" and "Hanchuang Kushu Simulator", the studio urgently needs to develop a new game that makes money."
It's definitely not okay to just sit back and have nothing.
A small team of 10 people like Tianba Studio, although its daily expenses are not high, still needs a stable source of income and cannot rely on a popular game until death.
You know, no matter how popular the game is, there will be a day when it falls.
The most important thing is that the three games under Tianba Studio can only be regarded as small hits, and they have not yet become a real hit. Therefore, even if Chen Ba wants to rest on his laurels, he has no laurels to rest on.
"That's true, but..."
Yang Dong seemed to have thought of something, and frowned: "Is there something we have forgotten?"
"Have it?"
Chen Ba scratched his head and thought for a while, but couldn't come up with an answer.
Don't worry about the old games. The new game "Star Emperor" is on the right track. Next, you just need to launch new characters on time.
If there was something really important, how could he forget it if he had such a good memory?
"Yes, Tianba Haoyuan!"
Seeing Brother Ba pretending to be stupid and dumbfounded, Zhong Shengwei couldn't stand it any longer. For the sake of those poor owners, he risked his life to remonstrate and said: "The players are all waiting for the new map of "Beyond the Fence Simulator" that we have not finished before. "
How could we forget this?
The down payment has been collected and the player's mortgage has been paid off, but the house has not been built yet. We can't let the players down!
"If you didn't remind me, I would have forgotten."
Chen Ba showed an awkward yet polite smile and waved his hand: "Then it's up to you. Let's finish the first phase of the Tianba Haoyuan project first and then consider other things."
"Okay! Then..."
"Tianba Haoyuan Phase 1?"
Yang Dong, Xiao Lu and Zhong Shengwei stared at Brother Ba with their eyes widened.
What the hell?
The first phase means that there are two and three phases of this thing?
"That's for sure! Have you ever seen any real estate project that was completed after just one phase? We want to build the most high-end residential community in Jiangning, and the scale must not be small."
Chen Ba patiently explained to several people: "To put it simply, the new map is very large, and the area that players can explore is also very wide. Only part of it will be unlocked in the first phase, and it will be unlocked in the second and third phases."
The first phase is a high-rise building with an elevator, the second phase is a small bungalow with steps, and the third phase is a single-family villa!
Come here, feed the young master some cakes...
The high-rise buildings are already occupied, so why not look forward to bungalows or even villas?
Although bungalows and villas are a bit more expensive, and they are also off-plan, Tianba Real Estate is very conscientious and supports loans of up to 100 years.
“Bungalows and villas…”
Xiao Lu murmured to himself: "When are we going to create a school district housing, tie the admission qualifications to the real estate certificate, and people who are not in the place of household registration are not allowed to enroll?"
It should be on the shelves soon
