Chapter 134 Tianba Haoyuan is completed
Last fall, Tianba Studio released a "Wine Banquet" DLC for "The Fence Simulator", which sold well.
After that, the game also opened a creative workshop to provide players with a MOD editor, and the game content was further enriched and improved.
But this is treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Compared with these things, the majority of players want to hear the good news about the completion of "Tianba Haoyuan". For them, this is the most practical action.
"It's time to finish!"
After two and a half years of practice, this real estate, once known as an unfinished cyber building that has trapped countless players, finally received its last round of updates.
Really the last round!
Chen Ba had been scolded for so long, and he really didn't want to be scolded again. It is said to be the last round of updates, and that is the last round. After that, the Tianba Haoyuan project will be completely completed.
As soon as the news came out, the "real estate transaction" section, which was originally stagnant, exploded instantly.
"Damn it, the sun is out in the west? Brother Ba finally remembered Tianba Haoyuan by Daming Lake?"
"On the handover day of Tianba Haoyuan, I never forget to complain to Nai Weng! My good brother who once led me into a trap, have you seen it? The house you bought has been handed over!"
"I have immigrated to Shen'en Continent, and I have two children. But you told me that the third phase of Tianba Haoyuan was handed over?"
"Hot! Now I have to re-download the game and go in to see the new house I have been looking forward to for two and a half years..."
"It's broken! I haven't played the game for a long time. Isn't my mortgage overdue? "Crooked smile"
It's awkward, right?
Chen Ba's face turned dark when he saw these posts in the Tianba community.
Is it that exaggerated?
The Tianba Haoyuan project has indeed been delayed for a long time. The entire project cycle is nearly three years, but Tianba Haoyuan is also divided into several phases!
The high-rise buildings in the first phase and the small bungalows in the second phase have been delivered long ago. What he called the finishing touches was just the finishing touches to the villa project in the third phase.
Looking forward to a new home in two and a half years?
You are looking forward to something! The third phase of the project has only been completed in one year from the pre-sale of the off-plan properties to the present. Where did the two-and-a-half-year practice period come from?
These people are just being stupid.
However, one thing is true, and that is that the total construction time of [Tianba Haoyuan] is ridiculous, and it can almost catch up with the actual construction of a house.
"Restaurant Simulator" has been updated again after a year, and it is a major update. In addition to causing players to be excited, some game information media and bloggers also reprinted and reported the matter.
Among them, a well-known game UP owner with three million fans in Perak Perak even made a video to popularize the past and present life of [Tianba Haoyuan].
Chen Ba also saw this video.
[Why does a house delivery notice cause players to cheer? What kind of real estate is Tin Ba Mansion, and what is the story behind it? 】
"Two days ago, I was having a brawl with my friends, and the sword demon god came down to earth and struck four..."
"While playing around, a friend suddenly told me that Tianba Haoyuan was completed and handed over! At that time, my forehead was full of question marks. I didn't understand why he was so excited?"
"After I asked him about it, I found out what happened, and I finally understood why he was so excited. He was even happier than getting the pentakill!"
"Go back three years ago..."
"My good friend bought a copy of the domestic simulation game "The Survival Simulator" because he read a report on "Game Star". "
"At that time, he had a monthly salary of 7,000, and he had neither married nor bought a house."
"This game has a very special feature, that is, the version preview is not released through a video or announcement, but starts the pre-sale of new properties in the game..."
"That's right, that property is Tianba Mansion, the beginning of the dream!"
"Through pre-sale of houses under construction, it is a very novel and special way for players to know the version updates in advance. So my friend bought a house in Tianba Mansion without hesitation."
"It turned out that the wait was a full half a year! Although the wait was a bit long, the house was finally handed over. It happened that my friend was getting married at that time, so I joked that I might as well buy a wedding house in the game. Already?"
"So he took a fancy to the Tianba Haoyuan Phase III villa, which was still in a conceptual state at the time..."
"Time flies, my friend not only got married, but his son is now one year old! When he got married, his family paid for him to buy a new house in Lin'an."
"He said that the house he bought in real life was delivered and decorated for move-in, but the Tianba Haoyuan Phase III villa he bought in the game has not been seen yet..."
What a beast!
After listening to the UP owner's narration, many viewers felt sorry for his friend.
The house I bought in real life has been delivered and moved in. Why is there no news about the house I bought in the game after so long?
"...So you can understand now why my friend was so excited after hearing the news that "The Survival Simulator" has released a new version and the Tianba Mansion has been completed and handed over, right?"
A barrage of "understandings" floated by.
After introducing the "Tianba Haoyuan" project based on a friend's personal experience, the UP owner then led everyone to visit this cyber gaming community that took two and a half years to build from the perspective of an ordinary player.
Don't even say it.
Although it took such a long time to hand over the apartment, it seems that the developer is very unreliable, but the Tianba Haoyuan community is indeed in good shape.
Especially the small bungalows in the second phase and the villas in the third phase are really well built, and they are not shoddy to fool everyone.
Finally, the UP owner concluded: "In the entire history of the game, there should be no more legendary community than Tianba Haoyuan."
This is not nonsense!
Other games don’t sell houses either! Even if they are selling a house, they are not selling it off-plan! Even if the house is sold off-plan, the construction period cannot be longer than that of Tianba Haoyuan...
After all, Tianba Haoyuan is indeed a legendary and difficult-to-replicate "commercial housing" project in the history of gaming.
Looking at the entire industry, which game developer would sell off-plan properties in the game and delay the delivery date for such a long time?
unprecedented!
It’s no wonder that players are so excited. If you bought a house that was unfinished for nearly two and a half years, and suddenly one day it was announced that it was completed and handed over, you would be so excited too.
"What a sin!"
After watching this video, Chen Ba couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the expression on the face of the UP owner's friend who finally waited until the house was handed over, but when he entered the game, he found that the mortgage had not been paid off yet.
It's so dramatic!
Fortunately, Tianba Studio is no longer focusing on the game "Simulator", otherwise these players will continue to suffer.
Is Tianba Haoyuan completely completed?
fine! A large number of new projects such as Tianba·Taoyuanfu, Tianba·Century City, Tianba·Xuefu, etc. are waiting to start construction!
The mortgage loan is enough for you to pay off for a lifetime...
If there were no new games such as "Star Emperor", "God's Grace Continent" and "Love Staff", it would not be difficult to draw a conclusion.
Tianba Studio will definitely take this path and let these players clean up their plates and pay off their mortgages for a lifetime!
Even be bold!
The Tianba Studio in Guizhou is very limited in terms of skills. It really doesn't have a very good idea, so it might end up making something like "The Survivor Simulator 2".
Of course, this is a parallel world line.
At least in this main world line, Tianba Studio is living a happy life, and will not consider living under someone else's roof 2, studying hard in a cold window 2...
Just a quick mention.
There have been discussions within the studio about whether to make sequels to old games.
The simulator of studying hard in the cold window is junior high school life, and the simulator of living under someone else's roof is high school life... If there is a chance in the future, there may not be a simulation game about "college life".
However, the idea is not yet mature.
The main problem is that the two simulation games Hanchuang Kushu and Surrendering are too low in popularity, so launching a sequel is a bit thankless.
If we really want to make a sequel, we should give priority to games with good sales such as "Star Emperor" and "God's Grace Continent".
Moreover, sequel games are generally not as popular as their predecessors in terms of sales. This is something only those game developers who rest on their laurels do.
Tianba Studio is currently in a stage of rapid development. Chen Ba is determined to forge ahead, and it is not yet time to retire and retire.
So there’s no need to think about a sequel.
…
Although there was a little trouble in the middle, the official version of "Love Staff" is still going to be released, which is also the focus of the studio's recent work.
Compared with the early access version, the official version of the game has not changed much. It basically just changed its name.
The price hasn’t changed either!
Chen Ba, who originally wanted to increase the price, suddenly did not dare to increase the price when he realized that "Love Advisory" has become the most popular dating platform for young people.
But then again.
The price in the domestic region has not increased, but the price of "Love Advisory" in the outer region has increased a lot.
"Outer area?"
"Does "Love Staff" also have players overseas?" Xiao Lu asked curiously.
"Yes, I have!"
Chen Ba smiled and explained: "Although the total number of players from outside areas is definitely not as large as that in the country, there are still tens of thousands..."
This is not the point.
The key point is that overseas, the game nature of "Love Staff", including the game environment, is completely different from that in China.
how to say……
Chinese people generally express their feelings in a reserved way, and channels such as the Internet are not very trustworthy.
But foreigners have more fun.
Through Chen Ba's observation, the gameplay of "Love Staff", or the dating and dating function, is similar to a "one-night stand simulator" in the hands of foreign players.
We just met today, we made an appointment and went to a room the next day to have a party.
No wonder!
Foreigners’ understanding of games is indeed different from what Chen Ba thought. Their attitude towards the game "Love Staff" is also more inclined to "making friends".
To put it simply, they play this game with the idea of making friends.
As for making friends, why did you suddenly fall out of bed? Please! This is our unique way of making friends, don’t you think it’s cool?
"Isn't this bad?"
After listening to Brother Ba's narration, Xiao Lu frowned and said, "With such nonsense, wouldn't our game become a dating app?"
"I understand what you mean, but please listen to me first..."
Chen Ba explained: "Their gameplay is more like the type where you get on the bus first and pay for the ticket later. Get to know each other first and have sex, and then spend time in the game to develop a relationship."
ah?
Xiaolu was shocked.
Is this okay? Or is this the so-called southern orange and northern orange, a difference caused by different geographical cultures?
"Don't mention it, the number of couples matched by "Love Counseling Department" in foreign service is more than you think! The success rate is also higher..."
Chen Ba was also helpless.
Even though there are very few foreign players, their games have a kind of magic that can bring these people together.
Tens of thousands of foreigners eventually brought together nearly a thousand couples, 200 of whom even got married.
Doesn’t sound like much?
But don’t forget, there are only tens of thousands of overseas players. With such a small base, the success rate can be so high, which is enough to show the magic of "Love Staff".
It is said that in a country with a declining birthrate, an aging population, and a serious negative growth rate of newborns, some people are calling for "Love Staff" to be included in the social welfare system so that everyone can play this game.
Yes, everyone!
All citizens who have reached the legal age of marriage can apply for a "Love Counselor" Cdkey, whether you are just an adult or gray-haired, you can...
certainly!
After all, the person who made this appeal was not a big shot, nor a big influencer or opinion leader. No one paid any attention to his words.
But it can be seen from this incident that the game "Love Staff" can really increase the marriage rate and fertility rate for some countries and regions.
The merits are immeasurable!
What is more regrettable is that no matter how magical "Love Staff" is, it cannot change the essential fact that it is a love development game.
This type of game has little presence overseas. After all, everyone prefers FPS and classic horse-and-blade games to Galgame.
"What about neon?"
Xiao Lu suddenly thought, Brother Ba said that Galgame is not very popular overseas, but what about in the two-dimensional country of Neon?
As the most popular place for playing Galgame in the world, it makes no sense that no one plays "Love Staff", right?
"There must be!"
"There are quite a lot of Neon players, and many couples have been brought together. There is indeed a market for this type of love development game."
Chen Ba couldn't help but laugh and said: "The most popular overseas sales of "Love Staff" must be Neon."
Neon has approximately 50,000 players.
Hundreds of them have found a partner through "Love Advisory" and have successfully left their singles. This ratio is already considered excellent.
However, there are too many similar games in Neon.
Although the unique player strategy and excellent matching mechanism of "Love Staff" are great, it is also difficult to become famous.
It mainly relies on word of mouth.
But the efficiency of word of mouth is too low, and word of mouth spreads more to male players, and girls are not willing to share it with their girlfriends.
This is not just the case overseas.
In fact, in China, there is also a phenomenon of yang rising and yin declining, that is, the number of female players is too small. Even if there is an excellent matching mechanism, what should we do if there is no suitable candidate of the opposite sex?
