Game Development: Driving Players Crazy at the Start

Chapter 89

In mid-September, the fantasy game platform released a game.

“Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice”.

Some players who like to pan for gold saw it and looked at this game that was highly recommended by the fantasy game platform.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice; Developer: Palace Game Company; Designer: Fang Zheng; Sole Publisher: Fantasy Game Platform.

Neon, in the distant Warring States period, in front of a high snow-covered mountain, there is a country called Ashina.

Ashina, known as the “Juggernaut”, usurped power and established Ashina as the hero of the northern kingdom.

However, now Ashina is in a crisis of survival, and the grand general of the single-minded grandson Ashina secretly summoned his army in the predicament.

“This is the end of the matter. In order to protect Ashina, we have no choice.” “Now, we need that prince.”

In this way, the prince began to be imprisoned alone, with no family, no retainers, and nothing except a ninja. This is a story unfolded by a helpless, lonely master and servant.

“Explore the mid-to-late 16th century when life and death clashes, feel the cruel neon Warring States era, confront life-threatening enemies in a dark and distorted world.”

The label of “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice” on the platform is also very simple, action, role-playing, adventure, survival, third-person, 3D.

The game is priced at 268 yuan, which is not too high, but not too low.

“Is this Fang Da’s new game?”

“How is the neon background?”

“268? Bought it!”

“The background of the story is pretty good, but I don’t know how the game is.”

“Just buy it anyway, if it’s really not fun, then treat it as a sponsorship for League of Legends.”

On the Phantom game platform, many players are viewing the details of Fang Zheng’s latest work “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice”.

The price of “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice” is 268 yuan, which is different from the previous life. The price of a certain platform in the previous life is a bit expensive for many players.

So quite a lot of players buy while waiting for discounts or activities, and Fang Zheng himself does the same.

But in this world, the game industry is extremely developed, and there are not a few games that are priced higher than this, or that the pricing is in line with the industry’s market.

The prices of Fang Zheng’s “FlappyBird” and “Overcome Difficulties with Bennett Foday” are both low, and this is generally regarded as a junk game in the game industry.

Because of the regulations of the game industry, players have become accustomed to the rule that the more sophisticated the game is, the more expensive it is. At the beginning, Fang Zheng’s game was priced so low, which really surprised many players.

Not to mention that the follow-up “League of Legends” was simply free. At that time, after many players learned about “League of Legends”, they believed that this game would not be cheap, so everyone consciously prepared funds to buy the game.

But in the end, the money is in place, but the game is free.

Now, “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice” is priced at 268, and most players say it is completely acceptable.

You get what you pay for, this seems to be the default rule in the game industry, but after Fang Zheng’s alternative appeared, he did not play his cards according to the rules.

Not long after the release of “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice”, the official blog of the Palace Game Company directly released a newsletter to remind players that the new game has been released and can be purchased.

“Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice” designed by Fang Da, has been released on the fantasy game platform. Players who like it should not miss it. 々~”

The release of official blog news soon attracted some players who were not aware of it.

After all, Fang Zheng didn’t publicize the game in advance for some reasons. This was when the game was developed so that players can look forward to it.

Others don’t know what game “Sekiro: Shadow Die Twice” is, but Fang Zheng knows it.

In the words of previous players, this is a game that teaches players all over the world how to write the word ‘dead’.

Therefore, Fang Zheng had no publicity before the game was released because he was afraid of death.

Today is different from the past. He used to be a lonely family, so his skin was skinned and he would hide, but now his family is so big that he can run away from the monk and the temple.

Fang Zheng thinks it’s better to keep a low profile.

Because the release of “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice” was not warmed up, most players did not know about it except for those who like to pan for gold on major game platforms.

The official blog’s utterance is to let these players get the news for the first time.

“It’s not right, why didn’t Fang Dada post on Weibo to promote it?”

“How do I feel that Fang Da is secretly releasing this?”

“Marketing account, tell the truth, is there any conspiracy in it?”

“Something’s wrong! Something’s wrong! There must be fraud in it!”

Players were curious about Fang Zheng’s lack of fanfare this time, and what followed was suspicious.

You know, Fang Zheng is an old Versailles who feels uncomfortable without a cup for a day. How could his new game release be so low-key?

This doesn’t fit his temper at all~

Some veteran players felt that things were unusual, but some players who later knew Fang Zheng did not have this precautionary mentality.

These players have a notable feature, that is, they only pay attention to Fang Zheng through the game “League of Legends”, and they are not very familiar with the previous two games anyway.

Later, “League of Legends” became popular in one fell swoop, and Fang Zheng really entered the public’s field of vision.

On the fantasy game platform, the sales of “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice” have been skyrocketing. For Fang Zheng’s new game, most players bought it without thinking about it.

As the players themselves said, even if the game is not fun, it doesn’t matter, their money should be used to praise “League of Legends” (Zhao De’s) to help the cold.

The consequence of such support from players is that “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice” was released on the fantasy game platform, and the sales exceeded one million copies in less than an hour.

This data surprised Fang Zheng a bit.

Although the previous “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice” was well-known, it was widely praised by players as soon as it was released, but the sales volume is not amazing.

According to official data, for the entire quarter, “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice” has sold more than 3.8 million copies on PC, PS4, and Xbox platforms.

This is a quarter of sales, and it is the total sales of a large platform.

So when Fang Zheng received a call from Qiao Dakai and heard the news, he was a little surprised.
