Chapter 195: Unpromising real daughter 11
After the official release of "Crybaby", the sales figures were gratifying. From the beginning, fans cheered, and later, because of the rich content and interesting game process, it attracted the attention of more and more gamers.
The game is a small hit in the domestic stand-alone game circle, but it has gradually become a big hit because of the overwhelming reputation.
Although some people say that they don't like Gu Junxin's game promotion model, they are still very happy to buy the game and have a lot of fun playing it.
Major game forums have dedicated special areas for "Crybaby". The game bosses have sorted out and analyzed the props and boss information. Many people are challenging the full ending and want to hit the full achievement. Various strategies and guides have been released, and discussions are in full swing.
This game is not only popular in China, but also in the broader overseas game market, when sales are soaring, the evaluation is also very high.
A phenomenal indie game is emerging.
It is very difficult for an independent game to gain phenomenal popularity without a big company. For independent games on the Steam platform, the total number of independent games sold is 10,000 copies. A large number of game sales do not have four figures, and some are not even three figures, and it is difficult to support themselves.
In a difficult environment, Gu Junxin killed it. The global sales of this game have exceeded one million copies, and this is only one month's achievement.
In Junxin Studio, from planning to programming, art, music, to post-testing, translation, and the most critical publicity operation, only Gu Junxin is the only one who really works alone. It is really rare to be able to do this.
And she used her own marketing method of popular games, which also allowed the industry insiders to see another publicity model.
"Homemade Light"
This was originally a title used by Heizi to ridicule disgusting people, but now a considerable number of players really call Gu Junxin this way to show respect.
This game is not only fun, but also sparks a lot of discussion. Techies are more concerned about the algorithm that changes the difficulty of the game according to the player's level of operation, which they call the G algorithm for short.
Some people think that this is an innovation that can take into account players of all groups and is most likely to attract players. Some think that this algorithm damages the fun of the game itself, hurts the player's right to choose independently, and cannot give a completely real game experience.
Others believe that the game is the ninth art, which requires necessary persistence, rather than simply catering to players' compromises.
These discussions are very interesting, and Gu Junxin listens and accepts the opinions and criticisms raised by many people.
Many players are calling out the endless mode, or developing DLC (additional content to the game, expansion pieces or mods), and adding creative workshops. They hope that the game can continue to be developed, and there is still unlimited potential that has not been tapped.
Gu Junxin officially responded that there will be endless mode and DLC will also be available.
Since it is popular, from a commercial point of view, the game will continue to develop and improve.
Of course, this project has to wait until the overall plan is completed.

Taking advantage of the popularity of "Crybaby", Gu Junxin hung up the product page of the second work. Her second work is called "Xingyue Lakeside". Compared with the more **** "Crybaby", this game is a simple and casual farm simulation game, and it is also an atmospheric game.
The story of the game is simple and cliché.
The protagonist, who was exhausted physically and mentally in the big city, returned to his barren home by the Xingyue Lake and started the healing routine of farming and health preservation.
What the player has to do is to farm, raise livestock, grow flowers and trees, and through labor, turn the barren and backward into a paradise.
This game is purely casual, with a simple plot, designed for relaxation. The selling point is simple and interesting operations, beautiful pictures and pure music, creating a world of physical and mental relaxation for players.
The program is not difficult to do, but the art and music must reach a very high level. This is very laborious.
Gu Junxin is satisfied with the original work and thinks it can be launched.
However, the studio's first work "Crybaby" achieved excellent results, and Gu Junxin's pressure is also increasing, and the next works are only acceptable. Many of the places where she had been so-so before, Gu Junxin called back and redo it by herself.
As for the program, Gu Junxin also re-checked to see if there were any undetected bugs.
It happened to be mid-term exam, and her studies were intense. She had to complete the monthly live broadcast task. In the end, she had no choice but to make up for it by making live games for fans.
The sleep time is compressed to less than 4 hours, and the life is continued.
In order to maintain a clear head, Gu Junxin also used his mental strength. The scheduled release date is approaching, and he still feels a little unbearable.
"Jun Xin, your own studio is not urged by Party A's father, why are you working so hard?" Zhang Sa asked.
For some legal documents, Gu Junxin needed Zhang Sa's help for reference, but she saw that the goddess had tired herself into a dog.
She slept with Gu Junxin for so many years, she did everything calmly and relaxedly. It turned out that she was in a state where she could not see, and she was working hard and doing her best.
"Programmers should especially pay attention to their health and take a good rest to prevent sudden death." Zhang Sa reminded: "Besides, the sales of small crying bags are booming."
After being said by Zhang Sa, Gu Junxin's mind instantly emptied.
The high-speed brain got a short rest, and I couldn't help thinking, why did she force herself so tight?
"exactly……"
When it is beyond your means, the plan should be changed as appropriate.
Plans are important, dreams are important, but your body is even more important. People are gone, nothing is left.
As a result, "Xingyue Lakeside" naturally bounced, and the overall plan was delayed.
Gamers say it's normal.
In the gaming world, bounced tickets are the norm. It seems unusual to release on time.
*
"Xingyue Lakeside" skips the ticket and skips directly to the next year after the Spring Festival.
There is no difficulty in production and development, but there are too many things at the end of the year, and there are final exams, she does not care about the operation and publicity.
If the work is not properly promoted, "Xingyue Lakeside" is likely to be submerged. I can only wait until she has time to spare.
"It's time for the team to recruit." Gu Junxin sighed while lying on the desk.
She is really smart and has first-class professional skills, so there is no need to review or worry about professional courses. But the final exam does not only take professional courses, but also public courses and elective courses.
It is difficult to run a one-person studio. She wants to concentrate on writing programs and making games, but other things consume too much energy.
She is in urgent need of legal, financial, and operational talents, as well as multi-language translation.
Zhang Sa, Li Xinyue and Wang Ping have decided to help during the winter vacation. But now at the end of the term, they are helpless.
"Jun Xin, do you want to consider outsourcing?" Li Xinyue said, "You write programs yourself, and hand over art and music to professional studios?"
After all, a person's ability is limited, and they are really worried as they watch Gu Junxin crushing themselves in the past few months.
"Sisters, I have no money!" Gu Junxin called out to poverty: "In our industry, labor costs are really expensive. Domestic prices are very high, and outsourcing to overseas teams is simply a waste of money, and the quality is not guaranteed."
She didn't know why the second game was going to be "Xingyue Lakeside", and the quality of picture and sound quality was still so high. High-quality graphics, but also to take care of the graphics cards of most players, the game volume should not be too large, which is a technical challenge.
"By the way, Junxin, did you know that Lu Xingzhou's online game will also start an internal test." Wang Ping gossips.
Gu Junxin nodded silently. He knows this.
Xiaokubao has become an independent game that is popular all over the world, and the online game that follows Lu Xingzhou has heard rumors of internal testing.
Stand-alone and online games, different types are incomparable. But because of Gu Junxin being hacked, she and Lu Xingzhou were inexplicably formed a competitive relationship by being eaten by the melon crowd. Not only students from the Department of Computer Science are waiting for the game to be launched and have a quality competition, but people from other departments have also moved their benches to watch a good show. Let's see who wins the first battle between Lu Xingzhou and Gu Junxin.
"I know. However, I don't care." Gu Jun said lightly. Rather than listening to Lu Xingzhou's gossip, it is better to read and review.
Wang Ping gritted her teeth and said, "No, you still care, you've all been rubbed off."
After all, Wang Ping opened the interface of Lu Xingzhou's online game. In the character introduction, there was a character very similar to the adult version of Xiaokubao. She looked at the setting information, and it was very similar to the little crying bag. Many small details can be matched.
"This is too shameful! The image is shattered!" Wang Ping complained.
Gu Junxin frowned, which showed plagiarism. I'm just not sure if this is what Lu Xingzhou meant, or if the company's artists acted on their own.
It was plagiarized, sorry!
"I remember that the senior year of the law department seems to have a fixed litigation internship program." Gu Junxin asked: "I wonder if Zhang Sa's seniors and sisters are interested in intellectual property cases."
She really doesn't have time to tear up with people, so leave it to a professional.

During the final exam, Gu Junxin finally received a call from Gu Ai.
Gu Ai did not contact her during the three-month recruit training period, because the rules did not allow it. As soon as the call was connected, she heard a familiar whimper.
"Sister...I miss you so much..." Gu Ai said this with a blushing face. Of course, her face was too dark to be seen blushing.
"I miss you too. How is it? Is your military career okay?" Gu Jun asked with concern.
"Well, it's good!" Although Gu Ai was scolded by the instructor every day, she was exhausted to the point of death. But life in the barracks is really what she wants, and she has fulfilled her dream. She is really satisfied... just misses her sister a little bit.
"What else do you need over there? You can't go home during the Spring Festival. I'll send you something." Gu Jun thought.
She doesn't really know what to send to the military.
"I don't need my sister, I'm going to be transferred soon. I can't tell you the address of the new unit." Gu Ai sniffed, tears on her face, but her words were full of pride and arrogance.
"You... got what you wanted?" Gu Junxin asked.
Gu Ai wanted to be a soldier, not just an ordinary soldier. She's pretty special.
It's a pity that the Army Special Forces did not choose her when she signed up for the physical examination. Gu Ai is quite regretful. Of course, if she showed a good military quality during recruit training, there is also the possibility of being selected and transferred. Did she succeed?
"Sister, I've transferred the airborne troops!" Gu Ai exclaimed excitedly. Although not the unit that originally wanted to go, it is also very honorable to be a paratrooper.
"Congratulations!" Gu Junxin was happy for his sister, but also a little worried. worried about her safety.
The two sisters chatted, mainly Gu Ai telling her about the interesting things about training in the military camp. Gu Junxin listened, and inspiration came to her mind.
It seems that she should make a shooting game with airborne soldiers as the protagonist.
Gu Ai was still talking on the phone, while Gu Junxin listened and planned the game, distracted.
