The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!

"Brothers, after my testing, this all-general lineup is absolutely unbeatable in actual combat!"

"When I lead my legion and appear in various areas of the neighborhood, everyone treats me with utmost respect!"

"My army is invincible! My journey is to the stars and the sea!"

"My army is starving, my iron cavalry is in full battle array!"

"What a pity, why can this game only be played in our neighborhood!"

"Otherwise, I feel that with my strength, I could completely conquer the Star Sea Collective and carve out a vast territory for my dogs!"

"I want to conquer it!!!"

The players below the post couldn't stop laughing, while also feeling a deep empathy for the poster's experience.

[Hahahaha! This all-general lineup is hilarious! It's clearly a rabid dog army!]

[About the incident where I spent ten yuan to become a dog emperor]

[The blogger's imperial martial virtue is overflowing! The entire court of officials are like fish that slipped through the rabies vaccine net!]

[The poster is a genius! Trading 2 Destiny Points for a stray dog ​​with off-the-charts combat power!]

[By the end, I was truly overwhelmed. Who understands the pain of having immense strength but being unable to use it?]

Players were venting their emotions wildly in this post.

This feeling is very strange.

It's different from the feeling of being disgusted and wanting to curse when playing those trashy reskinned games.

This is a kind of hunger that is deeply attracted by the game's excellent core mechanics, and is thrilled by its highly immersive and imaginative concepts, but is abruptly cut off at the climax!

The comments section has turned into a massive demand for more updates.

[Production team, stop pretending to be dead; I know you can see us.]

When will the full version be released?

I've never felt so frustrated in my life! I have the Imperial Seal of the State in my pocket, and I have connections everywhere in my neighborhood! Yet, I can only experience this little bit of what I'm getting!

If this game is fully developed, it really has a chance to become a minor hit. Don't play dumb! Seize the opportunity while it's still trending!

Is this a violation of human rights?! It just started playing and then there was no follow-up!

This spectacle hasn't been seen in the gaming industry for a long time.

A demo version of an indie game that costs only ten yuan has somehow managed to entice a group of players into a state of utter despair!

……

at the same time.

Xingcheng High-tech Entrepreneurship Park.

Inside the Chaoxi Games Studio.

A group of people stared intently at the DeepBlue platform's developer backend.

On the computer screen, the data in the DeepBlue platform's backend is constantly changing.

Current sales: 9821

Current sales: 9849

Current sales: 9876

Every time the numbers are refreshed, the office falls silent for a second.

"One, ten, hundred, thousand... nearly ten thousand portions?!"

Sheng Tinglan gasped.

"Ten thousand copies? Priced at ten yuan each... that's a full one hundred thousand yuan?!"

At this point, Sheng Tinglan herself paused for a moment.

One hundred thousand.

This number might be just a fraction of the cost of a typical marketing campaign for those big game companies!

It's not even enough to pay a top streamer to try out the game for half an hour.

But what does this mean for Chaoxi Games?

This is their first hope of making a profit!

After so much work, the company has finally produced a decent product!

Although this 100,000 is just the platform's revenue.

The platform's commission and various other costs are deducted, and the money isn't guaranteed to arrive immediately.

No matter how much they deduct, it's still money!

This at least shows that players currently approve of them!

The market buys it!

The players are hooked!

This game has great potential!

In front of the computer, Ma Shangfei grabbed the mouse and kept refreshing the comments section, barely able to suppress his smile.

"President Jiang, it's a bombshell! Our game is a total hit!"

"Look at this comment section, it's all people urging for more updates!"

"And this rating... although quite a few people gave it one star, look closely at the things they said!"

Ma Shangfei clicked on several negative reviews and displayed them directly.

[One star, that's the most I can give! The game is fun, the mechanics are interesting, and it's not expensive at ten yuan, but why did the developers have to let it die at the most crucial moment? I just conquered my neighborhood, my iron cavalry hadn't even set out yet, and the empire was already gone?]

[I'll start by cursing you; kick me out when the full version comes out.]

After watching it, Ma Shangfei was completely stunned.

"Look!"

Is this a one-star review?

"This is clearly love!"

"General Manager Jiang."

"The opportunity has arrived."

"Really, the opportunity has arrived!"

"This level of popularity is quite rare."

"At this point, we cannot hesitate; we must act immediately!"

Ma Shangfei became more and more excited as he spoke.

"President Jiang! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"My suggestion is to release a sequel immediately! Or release the full version right away!"

"Let's call it 'I Found the Imperial Seal of the State 2: The Battle for the Central Plains'!"

"Let's go big! Let's make a full version priced at forty-eight, or even ninety-eight! As long as we launch it before the current hype dies down!"

"I guarantee we can sell 100,000 copies! No, 500,000! Or even a million!"

In the office, everyone's breathing quickened.

have to say.

Ma Shangfei's offer is very tempting.

They've already tasted the benefits.

The trial version, priced at ten yuan, sold nearly ten thousand copies.

This shows that players are willing to pay for such novel and imaginative ideas.

If you strike while the iron is hot and release a sequel or DLC, even if it still costs ten or twenty dollars, as long as the quality doesn't drop, there will definitely be people willing to continue buying it.

It can even be said definitively that this is the most stable path for Chaoxi Games to turn things around.

However, right after Ma Shangfei finished speaking, two words of rejection came from the office.

"Not good!"

"impossible!"

Two distinct voices rang out almost simultaneously.

Ma Shangfei's smile froze instantly, and then his gaze turned to Sheng Tinglan and Jiang Bo, who had spoken.

"No...no...why?!"

"Sister Sheng! President Jiang! This is our best chance to turn things around and grow stronger! Players are practically begging us to invest! The money's practically handed to us, why not take it?!"

Sheng Tinglan sighed.

She looked at the ever-increasing sales figures in the backend, then at the forum filled with requests for more updates, and finally shook her head gently.

"Of course, it's because we really don't have any money right now!"

"Old Ma, you usually focus on writing code, so you probably don't have much of a concept of finance."

"Take the game revenue as an example. Even if we have 100,000 in the account, after deducting DeepBlue platform's 30% cut, we're left with 70,000. After deducting corporate income tax and other miscellaneous taxes, the maximum amount of usable cash on hand is only a little over 50,000."

"Fifty thousand dollars. How could we possibly make a game right away!"

"What we should do now is to observe the subsequent sales curve. If sales continue to grow, then we can consider the next step."

Ma Shangfei opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

Yes, I have no money!

That one reason is enough!

He knew Sheng Tinglan was right; he was just too excited.

As a project developer, who wouldn't get excited and thrilled to see players frantically urging them to update their game?

But he was still somewhat unwilling and looked at Jiang Bo for help.

"President Jiang... Sister Sheng is absolutely right. We don't have enough money, but this game is so popular right now, we can definitely use that data to attract investment!"

"If we bring in capital, won't the money problem be solved?"
