My game, you have no right to award

Chapter 48 Notes (Please read later)

"Ding!"

Suddenly hearing a voice from the system, Zhou Kuang realized that he might have completed a task, so he immediately opened the task list on the system page.

[System Task 01: Raise at least million in funds]

[System Task 02: Expand the company and recruit employees to bring the total number of employees to at least ]

[System Task 03: Complete and release "Netherworld Mountain and Sea", and achieve game sales of million]

[Achievement Mission 01: Open an independent game studio and increase the number of people to at least ]

[Achievement Mission 02: Complete and release an independent game, with sales reaching one million]

"Achievement Mission 01 Completed!"

"Mission rewards will be distributed soon!"

The successful establishment of Qingyan Studio allowed him to easily complete his first achievement task. If it weren't for the contract with Antarctic Interactive Entertainment that stated that the funds would be deposited into the account in installments, Zhou Kuang could even complete System Task 01.

"The mission reward has been distributed!"

Zhou Kuang quickly opened his backpack and found that he only got one item for completing the task.

[Game Anchor/Game Vlogger Silver Level Favorability Card (Domestic Limited Edition)]

[Introduction: This favorability card can be used on any upcoming or already released game. After using this card, a domestic gaming blogger or video game vlogger with at least one million followers will be randomly selected, causing them to develop a strong favorable impression of the game. This lasts for 30 to 60 days, and the effects include, but are not limited to, playing the game without food, water, or sleep, enthusiastically promoting the game, and canvassing for votes.]

[Note: Due to the strong effects of the Favorability Card, please use it with caution. The system is not responsible for any real-world consequences caused by the Favorability Card!]

Zhou Kuang's eyes lit up. This thing was too abnormal! It could actually directly control a person's mental state in reality?
And it sounds like the effect is very good. Just the fact that you play games without eating, drinking or sleeping, if you are a game anchor, it is equivalent to the other party advertising the game 24 hours a day, and you don’t even have to pay for it!

He promoted the game crazily everywhere, and with one million real fans following him online, these two conditions would allow him to directly reach nearly one million game players!
This is super-precision marketing, an effect that cannot be achieved by any amount of advertising!
It even takes ridiculously long!
The duration varies from 30 to 60 days, which is at least one month.

The first month after the release is the period when the game can sell the most. Players will focus on inspecting the game and decide whether to buy it.

Of course, the long-tail effect of the game is also very obvious, but it is ultimately not as fast and as large as the sales in the first month.

And getting one million potential users for free in the first month is simply a pie in the sky deal!
Such a good effect made Zhou Kuang ignore the subsequent precautions.

It’s just that the effect is too good, what could go wrong?

Is it a bad thing to let streamers or bloggers like a game? What could go wrong?
He hopes the effect will be better. The more the anchor likes his game, the more popularity it will bring to the game!

Moreover, this is just a silver-level favorability card, and it is a domestic limited edition. If it is a higher level, what will the effect be?
He only knew that the level above the silver level was the gold level, but he had no idea if there were other levels above that.

Zhou Kuang decided that he would use this silver-level favorability card on "Vampire Survivor" when the time comes.

The reason why he didn't use it for "Youming Shanhai" is because it has already gained a high reputation on the entire network. He believes that it doesn't even need this favorability card. There will also be countless domestic game anchors and video bloggers who will serve him as tap water and voluntarily do promotion and marketing for him.

As long as the quality is not too bad and can meet their psychological expectations. However, the opposite is true for "Vampire Survivor". At that time, no one on the Internet knew about its existence, except for the people of Megvii Games and Antarctic Interactive Entertainment.

Antarctic Interactive Entertainment knew this because as shareholders of the company, they naturally needed to know Zhou Kuang's plans, which included opening branches and Qingyan Studio, and naturally also the project "Vampire Survivor".

Antarctic Interactive Entertainment’s attitude is: I strongly agree.

They not only agreed with Zhou Kuang's decision to open branches and expand product lines, but also strongly supported it.

Their only concern is whether "Vampire Survivor" can reach the heights of "Netherworld Mountain and Sea" and whether it can make a profit.

In their eyes, this kind of small-scale project can neither create a craze like "Youming Shanhai" on the Internet, nor can it easily make money like pay-to-win mobile games and online games.

So they are worried that this project will be stuck and cannot be continued.

However, they had no idea that Zhou Kuang was simply shooting the arrows first and then drawing the target, playing with the result, and did not need to worry about success or failure at all.

What many people don’t know is that the original version of “Vampire Survivor” was actually released on the Android platform.

So strictly speaking, this is a "mobile game".

However, due to the performance limitations of mobile phones, the gaming experience of this version is by no means good, so the author ported it to the PC platform.

Moreover, it was not sold on Steam at first, but was sold on the independent game website itch.io, and was later ported to Steam.

The game "Vampire Survivor" had no chance of being promoted from the very beginning. It became popular purely because of its own gameplay, as well as a little bit of luck and coincidence.

Therefore, as long as Zhou Kuang uses this favorability card, he is absolutely certain that "Vampire Survivor" will quickly become popular in the gaming circle.

After deciding on the purpose of this favorability card, Zhou Kuang looked at the other items in his backpack.

Project Schedule Optimizer

[Introduction: Use this item to reduce the delay of a project due to mistakes. The specific effect depends on the personal ability of the project leader (not the host).]

【1000 points redemption voucher】

[Introduction: Use this coupon to instantly receive 1000 points, which can be used in the system mall.]

【Expandable Surprise Gift Box】

[Introduction: This surprise gift box contains a random surprise item. The longer the holder holds the gift box, the more valuable the item will be, until the holder chooses to use it and opens the box to obtain the item.]

Holding period: 87 days

Looking at the items in his backpack, Zhou Kuang decided to use the first two items, so that he would have 1100 points.

Although this amount of points is still a drop in the bucket compared to the items in the mall that are priced at tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of points, he will be able to buy something bigger sooner or later if he accumulates them bit by bit.
