The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 319: So handsome! So strong! I want to play with the sword too!

"I...I'm not mentally prepared for this!"

Qihuahua realized it belatedly and looked at the brave sniper blankly, then looked at the fire knife who could barely be considered a professional.

Huo Dao nodded.

Qihuahua thought it was ridiculous.

Although she was not an experienced single-player game player before the rise of Dream Building, she also knew Shengcai Entertainment, a well-established game studio with more than ten years of history.

Its most successful series, Dragon Age, won the Ultimate Game of the Year Award twelve years ago and is indeed a well-known IP in the gaming industry.

Now that the latest work in the series, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, is on sale, normally this is a trump card that can be used as a "trump card".

How did monetization become a desperate situation where the company is forced into a corner and will go bankrupt if it doesn’t sell its products?
How did this company end up in this situation?
Huo Dao saw Qi Hua Hua's expression and thought that she was a little nervous about this kind of thing, so he smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry so much, it's not certain."

“After all, it’s an established studio with a well-known IP, so it still has some background.”

"Look, it's now at the top of the Vapour daily sales chart."

Huodao showed Qihuahua the real-time data, and everyone came over to take a look.

Huo Dao was not talking nonsense.

The name of the game on the top picture of Vapour's sales list is "Dragon Age: Dreadwolf"!
After all, it is a sequel to a well-known IP. Even though it encountered various unfavorable situations during the promotion period, "Fear Wolf" still quickly topped the list after its release.

Loyal fans of the series will buy the new work without a second thought no matter what it is like.

Even if you are not a fan of the series, you will have a basic understanding and trust in the new work because of the fame of the previous work.

These will be converted into new game sales as soon as the game is released.

Helped it to top the Vapour charts in the United States and Canada.

——What Huodao showed Qihuahua and the others was the sales list in the United States.

If we look at the global ranking, it is not so strong - it has just reached third place.

The reason for these two missing places is the lack of support from players from the world's second largest player market - Xia Country.

In the Vapour Summer Country region, "Dread Wolf" is only ranked 26th on the list.

Not bad.

But for "Dread Wolf", which is dressed in the halo of "sequel to a well-known IP", it is really not impressive.

It was almost a Waterloo.

But for Gary, general manager of Raw Entertainment, this is much better than the worst outcome he expected.

At least they successfully took first place in the United States, the country with the largest number of Vapour players.

It also ranked in the top three on the global list.

This start means everything is possible!
The publicity effect of this list is extremely strong. It can be seen by at least millions or even tens of millions of players around the world, and the exposure can be guaranteed.

As long as the game quality is up to par and word of mouth among players spreads, sales will explode again!

This is also one of the core rules of the gaming industry.

The most decisive factor in whether a game is successful or not is whether it is fun.

If the game is not fun, we will push for full publicity and promotion and bombard players all over the world with advertisements.

If you are going to die suddenly, you will die suddenly.

In fact, the more money you invest in marketing, the more miserable your death will be - all the money invested in marketing will be wasted.

But if it is a truly good game, no matter what kind of competition and setbacks it encounters, it will always get the recognition it deserves in the end.

Good games can always shine.

——The premise is that it is really a good game.

At this moment in the Raw Entertainment office, Gary and all the members of the studio were silently chanting Jesus Christ and praying that the game would be recognized by the market, become a great success, and keep their jobs.

There are two monitors in front of Gary, one showing game sales and player online data, and the other showing Vapour's global game rankings. Every few minutes, he can't help but refresh the data.

He had never been this nervous before.

The last time the game was released, he was sitting quietly in his office, listening to his employees report data every hour, and his mentality was very relaxed.

But now, the company has indeed reached a point of life and death.

He no longer has the financial resources to sit back and relax.

Even when the game sales exceeded 100 million copies, he couldn't help but clench his right fist and showed a little excitement.

——Sales of 100 million are far from a success for this IP and their investment.

But now, just this small success made him excited.

Unfortunately, after crossing the 100 million threshold, the sales growth rate of the game slowed down significantly.

It was not until noon that the number of copies exceeded 110 million.

At 4 p.m., when DreamBuilding started its global live broadcast, the sales of Fear Wolf had just exceeded 120 million copies.

Then, the sales figures almost stagnated.

All the players' attention was grabbed by the last special live broadcast before the release of "Monster Hunter"!
Not to mention casual players, even the game anchors who were broadcasting the live broadcast of "Fear Wolf" stopped playing the game and started watching the live broadcast.

The latest work of Dream Building, the strong publicity of several major events, the boss of Dream Building, Xu Meng, personally participated in the battle, and most of the [honorary players] of Dream Building gathered...

With so many eye-catching elements coming together, this live broadcast has become explosively popular!

Almost the entire global gaming community is paying attention to this matter.

And Dream Building did not disappoint everyone as always——

Without any unnecessary greetings, the live broadcast begins with the passionate hero introduction!
Amid the majestic music, a fully armed swordsman walked into the camera step by step, stepping on the dry sand.

In front of him, a 13-meter-long sand dragon was rushing straight towards him!

But the swordsman is not afraid!
Draw the sword and stab!
Jump sideways to block the moment of being hit, and successfully see through it!

A light shone on the sword.

With a slash of the sword, the huge air blade slashed on the earth sand dragon, and blood splattered.

Air blade slash! Air blade slash! Air blade spin!
Sharpening the blade!
The sand dragon flicks its tail.

Block instantly and jump back, successfully see through it again!
In a second, the sword strikes the Earth Sand Dragon accurately. The next second, the swordsman steps on the BOSS and leaps to the sky!

"Dragon! Slash!"

The gorgeous red sword lights crisscrossed and burst out on the head of the Earth Sand Dragon!
The swordsman landed on the ground, turned his back to the BOSS, and confidently put away his sword.

Behind him, the Sand Dragon fell down wailing after suffering a heavy blow to the head.

Sand is flying!

Several dark red characters suddenly appeared:

[Tachi-Yu Guagua! 】

An opening, in less than 10 seconds, instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the entire live broadcast room!
"Fuck!! So handsome! So strong!!"

"This is too awesome! The game will be released the day after tomorrow, I want to play with the sword too!!"

"This is so cool! I was worried that the game was too difficult and I couldn't play it, but it turns out to be such a fun game!!"

"Why don't you sell it quickly? What's the point of Mitsuhide not selling it?!"

"Hahaha, I really want to know how many times You Guagua practiced to come up with this 10-second video!"

……

The audience's enthusiastic comments were like a tide.

But the dream-building display has just begun!
Next, the camera turns and the dual-blade man appears!
