Game production, I entered the Star Iron shooting CG

"It's okay. I actually enjoy the feeling of sowing seeds." An Yi smiled at her and continued, "Next, we just have to wait for these seeds to blossom and bear fruit."

"Ah."

Silver Wolf also nodded and said with a smile: "That's my favorite game, there will be no problem!"

Chapter 218 This Heat Really Came From the Wind

In the next few days, everything went according to plan.

For the first time, Silver Wolf's Greenlight Project is progressing in an orderly manner.

Some games received technical support from Mihoyo, some received funding, or both.

For some games, Mihoyo directly participated in the in-depth production of the games.

As for whether the costs paid by Mihoyo can be rewarded, no one dares to give a definite answer.

An Yi couldn't say for sure, but his goal was not to get the small profits from these games themselves.

The domestic stand-alone and independent game market is in urgent need of recovery.

Some things have to be done by someone.

In a sense, the Greenlight Project is a shot in the arm given by Anyi to domestic game practitioners.

Although the market recovery will not be immediate,

But Anyi believes that day will definitely come.

The Greenlight Project has come to an end, and the next step is to wait patiently for the game to be produced.

During this period, Anyi also began to pay attention to another thing, the operation of overseas player communities.

This matter is urgent, but it is not urgent either. It just so happens that An Yi has nothing else to do right now, so he puts this matter on the agenda.

Previously, although the Youmi Cloud platform was launched simultaneously at home and abroad, Mihoyo’s promotional focus was entirely on the domestic side.

Because there are mature game distribution platforms overseas, Anyi originally planned to wait until the game library of the Youmi Cloud platform was enriched before considering overseas promotion and marketing.

So overseas, they were left alone, basically becoming a wild child with no one caring about them.

Because of this, Anyi did not even localize Night City overseas, and the game is only in Chinese.

But An Yi didn't expect that he himself was not anxious, but Mondi was anxious!

Previously, Mondi cooperated with Mihoyo. They assisted in the overseas launch of "Spread", and Mihoyo helped them advertise their graphics cards.

And because of the spread of this innovative FPS game's special attack bonus for European and American players, Mondi has actually snatched back a lot of market share from its competitors in the almost solidified graphics card market.

After tasting the sweetness of "Spread", Mondi Company paid more attention to Mihoyo's every move.

After learning that Mihoyo's new game "Night City" was launched on the Youmi Cloud platform and feeling the terrifying potential of this game, Mondi Company immediately helped Mihoyo with a wave of promotion free of charge, without even telling Mihoyo.

It was this operation that allowed "Night City" to gain its first wave of exposure overseas, and subsequently it quickly became popular due to its own high quality, and even the emerging Youmi Cloud platform became popular.

Although Anyi was not prepared for the early popularity of the Youmi Cloud platform overseas, it is ultimately a good thing.

this day,

An Yi took some time to read the overseas reviews of the Youmi Cloud Gaming Platform.

Apart from some complaints about too few games, the reviews are generally good.

At least now, players who are playing games under Mihoyo are not resistant to it, and are even happy to see such an emerging gaming platform.

And, to An Yi's surprise,

Silver Wolf's Greenlight Project has even attracted the attention of many overseas players.

Several games such as "Seven Nights" are in production and have been added to the wish list of many overseas players.

This also means that these independent games can go overseas.

Looking at the large number of "good game! we need English! please!" in the overseas comment section, An Yi couldn't help but laughed.

"That's good news. Next, we should think about how to consolidate the overseas market. Let's do the translation first..."

……

the other side.

Compared to An Yi's indifference.

Faced with such a situation, Mihuyou and his group became a little overexcited.

Especially Qu Ziyi.

When the man who participated in the production of "Night City" learned that the game had achieved such success overseas, he wanted to stick his Mihoyo work badge on his forehead.

It's only been a little better these past two days. At least I don't ask everyone I meet. Dear, do you know V Zhentian?

An Yi did not interfere too much in this situation.

After all, they are young people, and it is normal for them to show off a little, as long as it does not interfere with their work.

As for the current success of the Youmi Cloud Platform, in Anyi's view, it is just the achievement of a small phased goal.

The current platform size is still far behind the previous STEAM, and the game library is still too poor.

Currently, almost all the games on the platform are Mihoyo’s own products.

Rather than saying that Youmi Cloud is an online game distribution platform, it is better to say that it is a launcher for Mihoyo's own games.

However, this situation will soon change fundamentally.

As long as a few Greenlight games start to attack, everything will be fine!

An Yi looked at the number of wish list collections for several games and was very satisfied.

For example, as of now, more than 90 players at home and abroad have added Seven Nights to their wishlists. Even if only one in ten players are willing to pay to play, that would be close to 10 sales.

For a relatively niche pixel-style game like "Seven Nights", this is already a very terrifying sales volume.

I believe that once this number is released, it will be seen by game makers on the market.

They will discover the potential of the Youmi Cloud platform.

By that time, there should be a large number of games coming to be released on the Youmi Cloud platform.

However, although it is a good thing to have games delivered to the door, Anyi will not accept all games.

Now the Youmi Cloud platform is still in its infancy, and it is absolutely impossible to put all kinds of games of varying quality on the platform at once.

For a platform in its early stages, reputation is very important.

Yuumi Cloud focuses on the boutique route. Whether it is online games such as Star Rail and Spread, or stand-alone games such as Night City, they are all famous games.

If a platform is flooded with games of substandard quality, it would be cutting off its own foundation.

Therefore, although Anyi also wants the platform to quickly enrich the game library, it still decides to use the review and listing system in the early stage to seek steady progress.

To this end, An Yi also specially selected personnel to set up a special game review department in Mihoyo, which is responsible for this work, and especially emphasized that if there is any uncertainty about the scale, you can come directly to ask him personally.

Although it is a bit troublesome, it is safer.

Just when An Yi finished all the troublesome preparations for the platform, he also received good news.

That is - after more than ten days of plot adjustments and intensive preparations, Silver Wolf's Greenlight's first specially selected game "Seven Nights" has been completed and can be officially released.

Chapter 219: It’s more than just permission, it’s a punishment!

After getting the final version of "Seven Nights", An Yi spent a morning playing the first ending of the game, then closed the game contentedly and nodded with satisfaction.

Although the other endings have not been played yet, An Yi believes that he will not be disappointed.

"In this way, the subsequent publicity work of the Greenlight Project can be further promoted."

Previously, Silver Wolf’s Light of Favor was only announced on its own platform without much publicity, and was in a state of self-cultivation.

After all, this is a plan for game producers and independent game studios, and what players really care about are games. Without games, even if the concept of "Greenlight" is forcibly instilled into players, not many people will pay attention. At most, it will only let domestic players who like independent games know about this.

Therefore, if the plan itself is simply promoted, Mihoyo's huge player base will be wasted.

Therefore, Anyi has been waiting for a game to produce results, and then promoting it through "Greenlight" in combination with the game itself, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Anyi’s goal is to make players think of the “Greenlight” of the Youmi Cloud platform when they see excellent domestic independent games.

As long as such an impression is left in the minds of players, game producers serving the player market will naturally consider whether to release the game on the Youmi Cloud platform.

This is a relatively hidden feedback chain. As long as it is done well, the subsequent development of the platform will be smooth sailing.

Thinking of this, An Yi decided to strike while the heat of "Night City" was still there.

First release a promotional video and trial DEMO of "Seven Nights", and then combine it with the promotional video of the Greenlight program to let more people know about the Greenlight program.

At the same time, you can also start the pre-sale of "Seven Nights" in advance to test the waters and see what the players' feedback is, which will also make it easier for the platform to make corresponding adjustments in a timely manner.

If the pre-sale situation is very ideal, "Seven Nights" can be officially released.

"Okay, it's settled."

Thinking of this, An Yi called Yang Hao and broke down his plan into specific tasks.

For example, making a promotional video for "Seven Nights", splitting out part of the first level of the full version of "Seven Nights" for players to try for free, opening a pre-order channel... and other trivial tasks.

Today's Mihoyo is no longer a startup team. After producing several games, especially large-scale games such as "Night City", the level and ideas of the employees have improved greatly.

Even without An Yi's participation, they could complete these tasks well and quickly.

However, after assigning these tasks, An Yi's expression did not feel much more relaxed.

Because he himself has an important task to do, and only he can do it.

He wanted to ask Silver Wolf to help record a promotional video for the Greenlight Project.

After all, the full name of the plan is 'Silver Wolf's Favorable Light', how can we do without the protagonist?

……

That night,

Anyi's home.

"What a hassle! I don't want to shoot today. I want to play games..."

Silver Wolf rolled on the bed, stopping from time to time to steal a glance at An Yi before continuing to roll, "Didn't we agree before that I only need to play games? Why do I have to shoot a promotional video..."

An Yi stood beside the bed, looking helplessly at Silver Wolf who was acting like a rogue for some unknown reason.

Heita sat on the edge of the bed, put down the script in his hand, and his blinking eyes moved between the two of them, as if he was brewing some idea.

After dinner today, An Yi told Yinlang, who was playing games, about wanting to shoot a promotional video.

However, Silver Wolf was still in a bad mood because of some gossip he heard from Lin Yuzhu when he went to Mihuyou a few days ago, such as Heita and An Yi stayed in the office for most of the day and had flushed faces when they came out.

Although Yinlang herself felt that there was no need to be angry with An Yi over such a small matter, she still had a bit of a temper. At least An Yi had to make peace with her officemates to be fair.

But she was too embarrassed to tell An Yiming about this little thought, and during that time, An Yi happened to be busy meeting with the producers who participated in the Greenlight Project. As an expert in love, he naturally did not notice Silver Wolf's little temper, so the situation became what it is now.

About a minute later, Heita suddenly leaned down, hugged the still rolling Silver Wolf, and whispered something in her ear.

"Eh? Really?"

When Silver Wolf heard what Black Tower said, he sat up straight instantly and looked at Black Tower: "Are you so kind?! Then I'll go first."

"Sure, and apart from the time when I used the Ether Cassette to hook you, when have I ever lied to you?" Heita noticed Silver Wolf's expression and asked back with a smile.

"Hmm...it seems not."

Silver Wolf subconsciously recalled it, then turned to look at An Yi and said anxiously: "Aren't we going to shoot a promotional video? Let's shoot it quickly!"

...? Wait a minute? What did Heita say to her?

By the way, what's with this vague feeling of being targeted by a carnivore?

An Yi, who was standing aside, suddenly shuddered, and then looked confused. He looked at the Silver Wolf whose attitude changed 180 degrees, and had no idea what was going on.

Silver Wolf instantly became interested, and he jumped out of bed, smoothed his messy hair, and said:

"Tell me, how do we shoot it~ Heita, pass me the script. I should be pretty good at shooting promotional videos. I've read a lot of scripts at Elio's place, so I'm considered a semi-professional!"

She was a little reluctant just now, but she began to urge An Yi to start recording the promotional video, without giving An Yi any time to think about why.

"Um……"
