I play games in Zongman World

"Don't worry, let's relax some relevant information in the game, and then we will chat together, how could there be an accident?"

After Ye Yueshizuku comforted her, she looked at Hikari Yagami and said, "Since you're so worried, how about I switch to the live broadcast, Xiaoguang, and let you go?"

"Oh? I'll forget it, I don't want to participate!"

After hearing this, Hikami Yagami shook his head again and again, "Now that the game is getting so much attention, I don't have your big heart. I will directly participate in the live broadcast, and I will also be with two voice actors. However, if the follow-up Nana Mizuki and Rina Sato If those people come, I can think about it."

"is it?"

Ye Yueshizuku narrowed her eyes, and after some calculations, she said, "That's okay. Our plan is to invite all the voice actors of the protagonist group. The host of the live broadcast, besides Yi Chen, is another partner We will definitely rotate, and if I keep playing, I will be tired."

"Oh? Really want to rotate?"

As soon as he heard that there was going to be a rotation, Hikaru Yagami panicked, looked left and right, and then pulled Aoba over who was sharing the fudge with everyone.

"What do you think of Aoba? This child is so cute, the live broadcast will definitely be very effective!"

Aoba moved her mouth expressionlessly, swallowed the fudge in her mouth and said: "Sister Guang, it's useless even if you pull me, anyway, I guess everyone will take a turn. Sister Ye Yue, I'm right Bar?"

Hazuki Shizuku snapped her fingers with a smile all over her face: "bingo~~ That's right, that's it!"

The truth is actually very simple. Both Yi Chen and Ye Yueshizuku know a little bit that these veterans in the studio have good looks and online skills. It is definitely no problem for them to go up to exercise in this kind of live broadcast event like their own. In the future Each one has to be alone.

By the way, you can also exercise their more or less socially fearful character.

Of course, it is impossible for Hifumi to go up.Others may be nervous at first, but they will definitely get used to it quickly, but for Hifumi, she probably can't even speak well when she goes up.

While thinking, Hazuki Shizuku looked at Hitomi who was standing with Yuyin Iijima.

Catching Shizuku Hazuki's sight, Hitomomi couldn't help trembling, and whispered in panic, "I...I can't..."

"Hahaha, don't worry Hifumi, we won't force you to participate in the live broadcast."

After waving her hands, Shizuku Hazuki said, "It's fine for you to help us with some assistance when the time comes, and you don't need to appear on camera."

This is what made Hifumi relax.

In the afternoon, Yi Chen came to the studio after school, inspected the set up live broadcast room, and nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, that's all right, by the way, before Friday, the sample figure that we contacted the figure factory to make has some Two are going to be finished and can be put here on Friday night."

"Oh! Are you ready?"

When Xiao Tian first heard about this, he was the first to come over, and said with bright eyes, "Which two are they?"

"The time from design to sample for the protagonist and his persona, Yasen, is limited. It's good to have a sample."

Yi Chen said with a smile, "I know what you think, don't worry, after the reservation is made, I will send you a set, everyone in the studio will have a share."

"Great!"

Hollow Knight and Slaying the Spire are two games that are not very easy to handle, but the next Persona, it is indeed possible to make good peripheral games.

Yi Chen and Hazuki Shizuku have already contacted a series of peripheral manufacturers, such as small keychains, mouse pads, etc., and figures that reach various proportions are already in the process of designing or producing samples.

All the members of the protagonist group will make figures, and then there will be figures of Yasen. As for other figures, they are still under consideration.

Of course, it is impossible to release all the figures at once, and they will be released bit by bit.

As long as the game sells well, it is still a bit difficult to be able to run two studios, so the follow-up series of peripherals and derivative economies have to keep up.

On Thursday, the day before the live broadcast started, the figurine arrived at the studio smoothly.

In the conference room transformed into a live broadcast room, Yi Chen put the two boxes on the table, and then slowly opened the package, revealing the figures inside the transparent blister packaging.

Because it is still an early sample, further supervision is needed on the painting details in some places, but as a sample, it is enough to show it in the live broadcast, it is better than taking a gray mold.

"Oh!!! Very good!"

After getting close to the figure of the protagonist, Shinoda Chu observed it, and excitedly took out his mobile phone to take pictures from various angles.

"Yi Chen-jun, can this sample..."

Before finishing speaking, Yi Chen directly objected: "No, this is the first finished product, and I plan to put it in the handicraft cabinet of our studio for preservation."

"If you want to save it, there is no way, after all, it is the first one."

After checking the two figurines, Yi Chen put them back into the box first, and put them here before the start of tomorrow.

Taking the figurine back to the office and putting it away, Yi Chen picked up the flow sheet for tomorrow's live broadcast, and checked the flow with Hazuki Shizuku.

When the two voice actors arrive tomorrow afternoon, everyone will check it out together, and everything will be safe.

"By the way, Sister Ye Yue, book a restaurant nearby, and treat the two voice actors to dinner before the live broadcast tomorrow night."

Ye Yueshizuku smiled and said OK: "Don't worry, I've already booked it."

Shizuku Ye Yue did things to reassure herself.

Nodding, Yi Chen stretched his waist, and began to look forward to tomorrow's live broadcast.

Chapter 290, the first live broadcast, and the upcoming pre-order

On Friday night, half an hour before the live broadcast started, Yi Chen and the others were already getting ready in the live broadcast room.

After debugging the equipment, Yi Chen said to the two voice actors: "The subsequent live broadcasts will just follow the procedures we have agreed upon. I will also take care of the translation work. You two don't need to be nervous, just come as usual."

The two voice actors are not newcomers anymore. They have participated in many live broadcasts of various games and animations, and have also participated in events in Huaxia. Naturally, they will not be nervous. He also asked if he could share two of them when the stock was available.

Of course, there is no problem with this matter, Yi Chen agreed directly, and will send the finished product after it comes out.

Soon, while everyone was waiting relaxedly, it was time for the live broadcast.

On the other side of the camera, Haizi, who was controlling the screen, stretched out his hand to count down. After three, two, one, the screen in the live broadcast room was connected.

After looking at the monitor facing him not far away, Yi Chen said to the camera: "Hello everyone, welcome to today's live broadcast. Well, there are already a lot of people here, it seems that everyone is looking forward to it. Then let's not waste any more time, let's first introduce the guests who are here today."

Everyone in the two seiyuu studios are familiar with each other. After a brief introduction, Yi Chen played the promotional PV again, and everyone reviewed it together, and then began to tell the audience about the world view of the game.

A one-hour live broadcast was a little bit longer than the time, but it can be said to be very smooth. After telling everyone about the world view of the game and the main setting of the persona mask, it was controlled by the voice actor and showed everyone. The battle system in the next game.

This is much richer than the three-two-second battle screen in the previous PV, allowing everyone to have a complete understanding of the battle system of Persona.

At the end of the demonstration, I also showed everyone the system of replacing the control character in the hall, and controlled Gao Juanxing to run around in the hall.

Gao Juanxing's Phantom Thief costume is a tight red leather jacket. With her tall model figure, many people in the live broadcast room couldn't help but say "be careful and overtake it" during the demonstration.

Yi Chen didn't panic at all. After controlling Gao Juanxing to turn around and attack, and took off an enemy's mask and fought a battle, the actual game demonstration was over.

Finally, of course, I will introduce the two figures that have been placed on the table since the beginning.

"Finally, everyone has seen these two figures for a long time. That's right, we will launch the relevant official online store next, everyone remember to watch our news, we will open the pre-orders for figures after the online store is launched , first of all, the protagonist and Yasen, and the samples of Morgana and Takamaki Apricot, which have not yet been released. You can take a look at the gray molds here."

Accompanied by Yi Chen's words, Haizi quickly cut out two hand-made gray models and put them on the screen, and the audience also densely brushed "buy, buy, buy".

After letting the camera zoom in and showing everyone a closer look at the two figures, today's live broadcast is finally coming to a smooth end.

"Finally, let me tell you about the pre-sale status of the game. Tomorrow, after the YouTube live broadcast, NS, Steam and eipc will all open the pre-sale and announce the price. Thank you everyone, today's live broadcast is over."

After closing the live broadcast, Yi Chen breathed a sigh of relief, thanked the two voice actors, and announced that today's work was over.

After seeing off the two seiyuu, Yi Chen urged everyone to get off work quickly, and then drove back home with Shi Yu.

When I got home, I took a shower, took a box of ice cream that Shi Yu took out from the refrigerator, opened it, dug a little into my mouth, and said, "It should be gone, right?"

"Well, the last two boxes."

After taking a bite of her favorite vanilla flavor, Shi Yu said, "Chen Jun, can I buy some more?"

Yi Chen thought for a while, took out his mobile phone to check the approximate temperature for the next month, and finally agreed: "Okay, but I can only buy it again, if you keep eating it, I think your body will definitely not be able to handle it." live. Don’t forget that you still have to visit your aunt every month.”

"Know it!!!"

Turning up her voice, Shi Yu sat down beside Yi Chen, watching the live video uploaded by Station B not long ago.

"Next, we will open the pre-order of the game, right?"

Yi Chen nodded: "Well, according to the current situation, after the live broadcast on Youtube ends tomorrow, the pre-orders on the three platforms will all be opened."

It has been almost a year since the release of Hollow Knight. During this period of time, the operation of the studio has been supported by the sales of two games.Although there have been no problems in operation, the funds are still being consumed. It is time to open a pre-sale to see the results of this year.

Rubbing his chin, Yi Chen asked: "Shi Yu, how much do you think the pre-order sales of Persona will reach?"

With the spoon in her mouth, Shi Yu thought for a while and said: "The pre-order of Hollow Knight last year was less than [-] on the first day. However, the scale of the two games is completely incomparable, and there are various promotional bonuses. The pre-orders this time should be much better than last year's. By the way, Mr. Chen, hasn't the price of the game been announced yet?"

"Yes, it will be announced tomorrow." Yi Chen nodded and said, "The price on the PC side, steam and epic countries is 218 yuan, and there is a 5300% discount for pre-orders. The prices in other regions will be based on the approximate price of each region. Pricing is adjusted. Except for very few low-price and high-price areas, the difference is generally not very big. As for Lao Ren, the price of the eshop daily server is [-] yen, and the prices of other areas are adjusted according to the Japanese area.”

The price of Persona will definitely be more expensive than the previous two games. The number of developers, plus the cost of music, dubbing and various other aspects add up to a lower price.According to what Lao Ren talked with me at the beginning, the price on NS is 6500 yen, which is almost the same as Lao Ren's first-party works.

As long as the finished product of the game is similar to the plan, and the optimization is good enough, Lao Ren's platform discount is not much. According to the price of 6500, after the sales volume increases, he can definitely make a lot of money.

But in the end, Yi Chen decided to lower the price a bit, and did not match the price of the 3A games of those big manufacturers.

Yi Chen has played a lot of games, and he is very clear about the psychology of game players. Although he is a Chinese, many people will support the games he releases, but everyone will also look at the price.

Originally, he wanted to set the price on the PC side at 268, but after thinking about it, he reduced it by 50 and set it at 218, and then gave a [-]% discount for pre-orders.

No matter how low it is, then he really won't have many. After all, the studios on both sides, plus the follow-up development time of nearly a year, he also needs funds.

Seeing the expression on Yi Chen's face, Shi Yu put down the ice cream, held his hand and said, "Thinking about pre-ordering?"

Yi Chen nodded, stretched his frowning brows, and said with a smile: "I thought about it a little bit, but we have done what we need to do, and I will leave the next thing to God, and wait for the results after the pre-order starts tomorrow." gone."

Chapter 291 One Hour Pre-Order Sales

On Saturday night, the live broadcast ended successfully. After the voice actor left, Yi Chen and everyone in the studio did not leave, but continued to stay here.

As soon as the live broadcast ended, Yi Chen opened the pre-sale channels on three platforms.

Holding Shui Yun in her arms who had already started to yawn, Ying Lili said nervously, "It's been 10 minutes, how is the pre-sale going now?"

Shi Yu on the side said angrily: "It's only 10 minutes, can't you just wait for an hour? Look over there, you really can't hold your breath."

Following the direction Shiyu pointed, Yinglili saw Yichen was holding Mario Kart with Aoba and the others, and did not look at the pre-sale data in the backstage at all.

"Are they really not nervous?"

Yichen heard Ying Lili's words, fixed his eyes on the screen and said at the same time: "Nervousness is of course nervous, but the more you feel like this, the more calm your mentality will be. You have to know that at this time, no matter how your mood changes, The results of things will not change in any way. All you can do is believe in your achievements this year. With this worry, I might as well play games with everyone and relax. I am happy Haven't played a game for a week."

After school started, because the popularity of the game increased after the game was announced, Yi Chen also put some pressure on himself in a timely manner, and participated more in the development of the game.

And after returning home at night, apart from being with Shi Yu, the rest of the time is spent writing other game proposals, or surfing the Internet to read the news of other manufacturers, and learn about the latest developments in the industry.

Then when the live broadcast was approaching this week, Yi Chen, as the host participating in the live broadcast, also had to make various preparations in case of accidents during the live broadcast, and it was only at this point that he could come to an end and relax a little.

Ying Lili saw that Yi Chen, the big boss, didn't panic, and she didn't need to worry about it as a little guy, so she got up and walked over.

"Get out of the way, let me show you what a real drifting master is!"

Then, they drove three in a row to the last place.

"trash game!"

Well, it smells like that.

Putting down the handle, Ying Lili realized her level of carriage, and she really couldn't rank up in the studio, so she just sat aside and became the atmosphere group.

Although it was just an atmosphere group, the atmosphere in the studio really allowed her to let herself go, and it was extremely relaxed.

The pre-sale opened at [-]:[-] p.m., and at [-]:[-] p.m., everyone finally finished the game and gathered in front of Hikari Yagami's computer on the art team's side.

Yi Chen put his hand on the mouse, and in the silence of everyone, opened the background of Steam.

After an hour of pre-sale, sales exceeded 18 copies!

After nearly five seconds of silence in the studio, enthusiastic cheers erupted immediately.

"Success!!! 18 copies!!!"

Everyone hugged each other happily, celebrating this exciting event.

Yi Chen also hugged Shi Yu very happily, then motioned everyone to be quiet, and then opened the background of Epic.

The data on Epic is much worse than that of Steam. After all, whether it is the number of users or the functions of the platform, there is still a big gap between Epic and Steam.

However, the pre-sale on epic also has more than 3 sales, which is already beyond everyone's expectations.

Finally, the old Ren's eshop pre-ordered.

As for the eshop, because of the price, Yichen thinks that the sales volume may not be too high, but at the same time, because of the installed capacity of NS, and the unique feature of NS as a handheld plus console, maybe it will be good?

After thinking about it, Yi Chen stepped onto the backstage, opened it, and everyone's eyes widened.

"10?"

Yi Chen never expected that the sales volume would exceed his expectations, so much in an hour?

Ye Yueshizuku, who was standing behind Yi Chen, said with a smile: "It seems that it is a very correct decision to show the NS version's screen and frame rate optimization in the live broadcast."

Although it is only a demo now, when Persona on NS is being demonstrated, the TV mode can maintain a 1080P picture, and the frame rate is stable at 40 frames.
