……

……

Black Cat played "Vampire Survivor" for a whole week. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was almost going crazy playing this game.

His weekly live broadcast time has exceeded the monthly live broadcast time required by the platform.

Fans are also numb because they have been watching vampire survivors for a whole week.

The magical pictures, magical music, and light pollution from various weapons can drive your brain crazy.

"Please, Black Dog, please play some other games."

"Good guy, still playing Vampire Survivor here"

“I heard that this game has sold hundreds of thousands of copies.”

“Oh my god, so many people bought it?”

“It’s so addictive, I bought it myself.”

"Navy! They're all navy!"

"Big Black Dog, I see that all the uploaders in the game area are posting videos of this game. It's quite popular. Why don't you make one?"

"You play for more than ten hours every day, but you just don't have time to make a video for this game, right?"

The black cat sitting in front of the computer has red bloodshot eyes and obvious dark circles outside the eye sockets.

There was a silent fanaticism on his face, his eyes were fixed on the screen, and his hands were not idle either. His fingers were jumping on the four WASD keys as if playing a piano, controlling the character in the game to move swiftly.

He was completely oblivious to what his audience was saying.

Obviously, he once again fell into an extreme flow state.

On the other hand, without his noticing, the vampire survivor had become a global sensation.

Unlike what the audience in the live broadcast room guessed, the game’s sales actually quickly exceeded one million and reached seven figures not long after it was launched on Steam!
Even on the third day after the game was released, it reached a record for the number of simultaneous online players. At the same time, up to 160,000 people were playing the game at the same time.

Although this number has gradually declined since then, it still remains at over 100,000.

For a low-budget 2D game, this is a huge success!
If we talk about the platform that contributes the most to game sales, it must be the short video platform.

Whether in the East or the West, countless people are addicted to short videos.

Games like Vampire Survivor are naturally suitable for being made into short videos.

Because of its roguelike elements, the related game videos are full of dramatic effects.

The enemies surrounding the player in circles on the screen are also very visually impactful and can leave a deep impression on users in a very short time.

At the beginning, some players spontaneously uploaded videos of the game, and later users who were interested in these videos asked about the name of the game in the comment section, forming the first wave of free promotion.

After that, countless game streamers tried the game and became addicted, forming the second wave of online traffic. Then, those who recorded the game live in the game zone uploaded videos of the Vampire Survivor gameplay, either directly or by editing them, to video websites, forming the third wave of publicity.

From then on, more and more videos related to "Vampire Survivor" appeared on countless video platforms until it became a complete hit.

At this time, Zhou Kuang was busy celebrating with the heroes of Qingyan Studio.

The employees of Qingyan Studio have not been idle after the game was released. They have been working overtime to fix various problems in the game.

Some problems cannot be detected during the development process and can only be tested after the game is released through extensive play by players.

Today they finally managed to fix a relatively stable version, so Zhou Kuang decided to let them rest for half a day and take them to a place to have a good meal.

He made a reservation at a nice restaurant in advance and booked the whole place.

In his opinion, this is not a luxury.

Vampire Survivor earned back its cost in less than a week, and every day since then, every copy of the game sold has brought them a net profit.

It can be said that the game "Vampire Survivor" alone can bring him at least tens of millions of dollars in revenue in the next year.

It is even harder to say the upper limit, but it is not impossible to exceed 100 million!

Even after deducting the bonus, Zhou Kuang still made a fortune!
So booking a place for dinner is nothing.

Although the dishes served did not include lobster and abalone, which are considered as “big dishes” in people’s stereotypes, they were all top-notch dishes that the restaurant could offer.

The main reason is that Zhou Kuang doesn’t like to eat this kind of food, and the local seafood is not fresh.

He would rather spend a little more money to go to a seaside city just to eat there.

Ma Tu sat in the main seat, grinning foolishly with a flushed face, looking at his subordinates chatting and laughing in front of him. He was obviously drunk.

Zhou Kuang kept refusing the toasts from his employees, smiling bitterly with helplessness.

The employees were so enthusiastic that they wanted to get Zhou Kuang drunk.

There are so many people here, if everyone has a cup, he will have to lie down and go out today.

Lin Mufan suddenly walked over from beside a few people, approached Zhou Kuang, and said with a hint of alcohol: "Mr. Zhou, do you know what I admire most about you?"

"Ah?" Zhou Kuang was stunned for a moment, "What?"

"I admire you the most for setting the price of the game so that it is more expensive in foreign servers and the cheapest in the domestic market!"

"Foreign companies used to bully us. Not only did they not set low prices in our low-price areas, but they also charged more in the gaming area than anywhere else!"

"The crime is heinous!"

"This is revenge!"

"We strive to make all games the cheapest in domestic markets and the most expensive in foreign markets!"

"You are this!"

He gave a thumbs up and then staggered off to look for someone else.

The original price of Vampire Survivor in the Chinese server is 45, but it is sold for 14.99 US dollars in the US server, which is the most expensive in all regions.

Converted to RMB, it is more than twice the price of the national server, just over one hundred yuan!
Zhou Kuang was not worried that the Americans would not pay. They were the ones most willing to spend money on entertainment, so even this price was not particularly expensive.

He didn't sell it cheaper than the original version in the low-price area, mainly because his version was already very complete and was not the early access version when the original version was first released.

The size of the game has doubled compared to the original version, and the time it takes to complete the game has been greatly extended, but these contents are not even included in the DLC for sale!

So even though the price increased, Zhou Kuang didn't feel guilty. On the contrary, he felt that he was quite conscientious.

The price depends on the amount of game content, you get what you pay for.
