Starting with Genshin Impact, the whole world is going crazy for it.

This is also what Zhou Tiankuo wanted to know.

Although his games are currently profitable, with the lion's share of the revenue going into his own pocket, he now wants to start a large game company and can no longer rely solely on this portion of game revenue for profit as before.

As the saying goes, "We must grasp both hands firmly," and Zhou Tiankuo plans to open up more new directions.

The reason for the other farming game is simpler.

He previously released games like Plants vs. Zombies, and judging from player reactions, farming games have a significant market.

"After the update, the homestead system will actually keep players entertained for a while..."

Zhou Tiankuo muttered to himself.

He likes to talk to himself when he's doing things.

Therefore, working from home is more comfortable for him. Fortunately, Zhou Tiankuo is in his own office, and no one will bother him unless it's important.

After some thought, I decided that there's no rush to release a farming game right now.

The details he added to the Genshin Impact update will only be clear after the official update, allowing him to gather player feedback and decide how to improve the farming game based on that feedback.

Now he plans to set his sights on the Souls series.

Ultimately, Zhou Tiankuo still intends to use Sekiro to open up new territory!

Sekiro's story background is different from the original Souls series, but it is still a Souls-like game.

Unique controls, the narrative techniques of the Souls series, along with its distinctive art style and grand imagination... these are all important characteristics of the Souls series.

From Bloodborne to the Dark Souls trilogy, the Souls series of games has amassed a large player base.

But it was Sekiro that truly made this game series a mainstream hit.

Compared to other games, the quality is just too painful to watch.

The fact that the word "death" is displayed above the player's head time and time again perfectly illustrates the sinister intentions of the game's creators.

Zhou Tiankuo later saw many modified versions, the most praised of which was the "vegetable" character above the head.

Zhou Tiankuo shook his head.

Playing Dark Souls was the first time he had ever used a game controller. Being chased and hacked by the monsters in the game, that fear and humiliation still haunts him to this day.

There's a famous joke about it.

Reviews of these kinds of games often include the phrase: "It's very simple, just like mowing the lawn."

Then he would quickly add a sentence.

"I am grass."

This shows just how torturous such a game is.

However, this does not stop a large number of players from rushing to play and loving this type of game, and even a special term has been born: Souls Scholar.

Zhou Tiankuo was already itching to act as soon as he thought about it.

He opened the system backend.

Having received a series of rewards from the achievement system last time, Zhou Tiankuo didn't plan to do too much himself.

He hasn't figured out a farming game yet, but the current plan is to let the game designers do it.

As for Sekiro, he still plans to buy the game data package from the system store and create it himself.

A single-player, buy-to-play game doesn't actually need that much content to be updated; it can just consolidate the data itself.

"Help me find the game Sekiro..."

Zhou Tiankuo's relationship with the system is getting better and better.

He doesn't want to search within the system; he'll let the system do the work directly.

Fortunately, since the system was upgraded to version 2.0, its attitude towards Zhou Tiankuo has become increasingly amiable.

"The Sekiro game data package has been found for the host."

Zhou Tiankuo took a look.

Sure enough, things became more expensive after the upgrade.

The most expensive game data package Zhou Tiankuo had ever bought before was 1 crafting points, but now it has become 2.

"You shady businessman...wouldn't it be cheaper if I hadn't agreed to the upgrade?" Zhou Tiankuo couldn't help but glare angrily!

The system remained silent.

Regardless, Zhou Tiankuo still spent 2 yuan to purchase Sekiro from the production company.

If he were to do it himself, he could indeed do it under certain conditions.

However, it requires too much effort.

The scenario itself is a major problem.

The level of detail and beauty in Sekiro's scenes far surpasses that of ordinary games; in fact, every frame could be used as wallpaper.

Such games are extremely rare and very difficult to replicate.

However, when Zhou Tiankuo thought back on it, he realized that he didn't need to use data packages to recreate games like Plants vs. Zombies back then.

What's interesting is the game's mechanics; once he draws the plants and zombies, he can complete the rest himself.

Zhou Tiankuo shrugged.

Don't dwell on the past, especially since Plants vs. Zombies performed well and brought him a lot of profit.

Chapter 159 The sudden surge in data left everyone dumbfounded.

After deciding to use data packages to create the game, Zhou Tiankuo briefly checked what he was still missing.

Currently, the data package is already quite complete.

Previously released games were either created by the system or by Zhou Tiankuo himself, with some modifications added in between.

This time, he still intends to make it himself.

Zhou Tiankuo had made up his mind to continuously improve his abilities, so he forced himself to stop relying on the system for everything as he had done before.

However, he still needs to use the items and skill books that can be bought in the system shop.

However, when it comes to game development, Zhou Tiankuo tends to rely more on his own abilities and delegate tasks to the company's new game designers.

As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Zhou Tiankuo had barely made up his mind when he already felt exhausted...

"Host, your game has been released for two or three days now. Don't you plan to take a look at the data?"

The system suddenly spoke, reminding Zhou Tiankuo.

Zhou Tiankuo thought for a moment.

"The data from the first day was completely crushed, it's just asking for trouble. I want to wait until all our props are effective before we take a look."

This is how Zhou Tiankuo replied.

The system didn't speak at first, but after a while it said, "Actually, the item has already taken effect, but it hasn't surpassed its previous level yet. However, the host should be able to see the hope of success from the momentum."

what? !

This surprised Zhou Tiankuo: "Didn't we just start using these props recently?"

The system calmly replied, "It will definitely be useful once you use it. The host might as well take a look."

Zhou Tiankuo clicked on the data interface of Starlight with some skepticism.

The interface hasn't changed much; it's still the same game where everyone catches monsters and battles against dungeons and warriors.

In terms of downloads, etc., "Catch Monsters" is still in the lead, and it's even about the same as the first day, still twice that of "Dungeon Fighter Online".

Zhou Tiankuo frowned and continued reading.

But then they discovered something was wrong.

That is, Dungeon Fighter Online hasn't fallen too far behind in terms of revenue.

Zhou Tiankuo's eyes widened: "The data at the beginning is so far behind, but the revenue at the end is almost the same?"

The props he gave us are so useful!

Moreover, this trend is entirely in line with Zhou Tiankuo's assessment of the game Dungeon & Fighter.

That means the more you play, the more addicted you become, and the easier it is to spend money on in-game purchases.

Moreover, the unique lottery system is one of the key factors that makes players unable to stop playing.

"Not bad... Even if I can't beat them in the first few metrics, as long as I can beat them in terms of revenue, I'll be satisfied."

Zhou Tiankuo was beaming with pride.

Moreover, he has a clear conscience.

DouDou Interactive Entertainment has huge capital to buy massive amounts of advertising and traffic for the game "Let's Catch Monsters," so of course there are many mobile players.

Therefore, it is understandable for Zhou Tiankuo to use props.

Furthermore, the data displayed on the Starlight website is generated by specialized monitoring software, and there is no cheating or other misconduct involved.

At least not through public channels.

Zhou Tiankuo also knew that Chen Bin must not have done anything underhanded.

They are now in a contest, and if one side does something wrong, the other side will definitely find out, and neither side is willing to gamble with their reputation.

Therefore, Tiankuo Studio and DouDou Interactive Entertainment made a bet, and later they specifically applied to Xingguang for a fair, just and open competition.

That's why this webpage exists.

A scrolling player message board has also been added below.

Holy crap? I'm not seeing things, am I? This water...

What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my eyes?

【? ? ? ? 】

Wow, Tiankuo Studio is awesome!
