My game, you have no right to award

Chapter 64 Dynamics

"Then...let's try it."

Niu Tieming put down the game and let out a breath.

After not seeing each other for a while, when Zhou Kuang saw Niu Tieming again, he looked extremely haggard.

There were a few strands of white hair on his head, abruptly interspersed among his black hair.

His eye sockets were slightly sunken, with dark circles under his eyes.

His cheeks were thinner than before, revealing slightly protruding cheekbones, which made his jawline look even more rigid.

The messy stubble on his chin gave him a somewhat unkempt look, making him look more seasoned.

Today Zhou Kuang came to find the other party, planning to cooperate on the mobile version of "Vampire Survivor" and Antarctic Interactive Entertainment's channels.

To a certain extent, he just wanted to hand over the entire mobile development, distribution, and operation of this game to Antarctic Interactive Entertainment.

This decision was certainly one he had considered carefully.

On the one hand, Qingyan Studio does not have the time and energy to port the mobile version. Handing over the mobile version of "Vampire Survivor" to Antarctic Interactive Entertainment for operation can save them a lot of effort.

On the other hand, if "Vampire Survivor" is still sold as a buy-to-play product on mobile phones, the revenue will not be good either.

On the mobile side, domestic players will hardly consider buying products, or in other words, very few mobile players are willing to pay to play stand-alone games.

Many people who play games on mobile phones are casual players or younger players, and their willingness to spend is not as high as that of single-player players on consoles or PCs.

If payment is really required, manufacturers must believe that players have countless ways to get the free-to-play version of the game.

However, if it is launched as a free game, "Vampire Survivor", as a stand-alone independent game, does not have any krypton gold points.

Adding krypton gold points will completely destroy the gameplay of this game.

So the solution Zhou Kuang came up with was to simply let Antarctic Interactive Entertainment take care of this matter.

Anyway, they have plenty of ways to generate revenue, even if it is just broadcasting some advertisements, making money is easy.

Antarctic Interactive Entertainment's achievements in free games are obviously deeper than those of Megvii Games.

Zhou Kuang’s only request was that the mobile version could add in-game points, but it could not disrupt the original game process.

For example, in the mobile version, Antarctic Interactive Entertainment can develop its own skins for sale, or allow players to unlock characters or difficulties in advance by spending money, or even obtain external currency for permanent upgrades, rather than accumulating external currency through game after game.

However, Antarctic Interactive Entertainment cannot create something out of nothing and make a weapon, mode or character with extremely abnormal performance that destroys the original balance and playability of the game.

The fun of Vampire Survivor lies in playing it over and over again, falling down again and again but always making yourself stronger next time.

Invincibility does not equate to fun, but quite the opposite, invincibility equates to boredom.

This awareness should be formed by every player when they are young, after turning on the cheat device to play the game for the first time.

As for the profits from the mobile phone side, Zhou Kuang did not agree to the terms of fixed amount and fixed ratio proposed by Niu Tieming.

He knew in his heart that Niu Tieming was just trying to show goodwill, because the amount and ratio proposed by the other party were obviously more beneficial to Kuangshi Games.

However, Zhou Kuang has higher expectations and confidence in "Vampire Survivor".

So the agreement they finally reached was a contract with a guaranteed fixed amount plus a tiered profit-sharing clause.

With each sales milestone reached, the contract share increases.

Although the guaranteed amount was lower, the profit margin was much higher due to the upper limit of the commission. He looked at Niu Tieming, who seemed to lack confidence.

As before, he still doesn't think "Vampire Survivor" is anything special.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Zhou Kuang thought to himself.

Niu Tieming, don’t say I didn’t help you.

This game is my reward to you.

Even though you may not think highly of this game now, I will let you know how big a golden egg I have placed in your hands!

……

Six months after the release of the first gameplay demo trailer for Netherworld Mountain and Sea, the Netherworld Mountain and Sea production team, which had been silent for six months, finally released a new update on its official account on Bilibili.

[Netherworld Mountain and Sea Production Team]

【Forward dynamics】

【@Kuangshi Independent Game】

Hello everyone on Station B!

Tomorrow, Qingyan Studio, a subsidiary of Kuangshi Independent Games, will release its latest independent game, "Vampire Survivor," on Steam!

【I hope those who are interested can try it! 】

[Follow + comment + forward, and 50 friends will be randomly selected to win the Steam version of "Vampire Survivor"! ]

[Remember to follow us to get the latest information, and see you in the game! ]

Players were confused after seeing this news.

What’s going on? Was the production team of Netherworld Mountain and Sea hacked?
After six months of no activity, the next update he made was a repost of another account's game ads?
Careful players searched the name of the independent game and then checked the company's relations website, and finally understood what was going on.

The company that produced "Netherworld Mountains and Seas" is called Kuangshi Games, and the account they forwarded it to is called "Kuangshi Independent Games". This is obviously their own game!

Now some players feel uncomfortable. They were clearly following you because of "Youming Shanhai", but now the game hasn't been released yet, and you are slapping advertisements for other games in their faces.

In the comment section, two groups of players, one supporting the production team of Netherworld Mountains and the other criticizing the production team, each held their own opinions.

"No, what were you thinking, production team? We've been waiting anxiously for six months, hoping you'd release some new progress on Netherworld Mountain and Sea, and this is what you get? Can you please focus on Netherworld Mountain and Sea instead of putting the cart before the horse and posting ads?"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Can an advertisement make you stressed? If you don't want to play, then don't play. No one is forcing you to play."

"I'm speechless. This company just wants to make money. I guess this game is a scam."

"Anyway, I'm not interested in vampires or not. If you post anything irrelevant again, I'll unfollow you."

"If you use the money earned from other projects to build Netherworld Mountain and Sea, I have no objection."

"I just watched the trailer for Vampire Survivor and I thought it was quite interesting. No need to criticize it so much."

"We are all under the same company, so it's normal for us to help each other."

"Are you crazy for criticizing the production team? You only allow them to make one game? If they don't have the money, will you pay for it?"
