Chapter 360: Opening Eyes Wide, So Money Can Be Made This Way?
It's no wonder Liang Shichu shouted excitedly like that.
Before the game went online, almost no one in the entire studio was optimistic about it.
In this day and age, it's not that there are no good single-player games. The game led by the boss has no storyline from start to finish, no game music, and even character modeling is a mess. The game's plot can be ignored.
From start to finish, it's just holding a gun and shooting...
What's the point of this stuff?
Some employees discussed privately, estimating that their boss must be a hothead.
However, after the game went online, the players' feedback gave them a hard lesson.
For a moment, Liang Shichu even felt that he couldn't understand this world anymore.
Seeing the soaring download data since going online, everyone in the studio had their hearts pounding wildly.
Liang Shichu even wondered if the boss had secretly paid for internet brigades.
Otherwise, the download rate is too terrifying.
No game in China could achieve this speed.
Over the phone, Liang Shichu excitedly asked Chen Fan when they could launch the paid item function.
Chen Fan told him not to be in a hurry and let the game ferment for a while.
Liang Shichu was about to go crazy.
Still need to ferment?
If time drags on, wouldn't the heat go down and the number of people decrease?
You should know that although this game has many levels, the gameplay is really simple.
He was worried that if time passed, people's enthusiasm would wane, and then no one would play it.
Of course, there was another reason.
That is, while the heat is so high now, hurry up and launch the paid item function and make a fortune.
Every day delayed means less money earned.
However, Chen Fan appeared very calm and directly told Liang Shichu a number.
"Wait until the game downloads reach 3 million, then you can launch the paid item function."
Sheesh.
Liang Shichu gasped.
3 million?
Isn't the boss crazy?
You should know that the highest peak concurrent online users of the hottest domestic online game "Legend of Mir" this year is only around 700,000.
This is already a number that has left countless people speechless.
Yet the boss casually mentioned 3 million?
Is that possible?
Chen Fan didn't explain the reason to Liang Shichu.
In fact, he was quite confident about getting 3 million downloads.
Because this game was completely free for everyone to play from the start.
But from this point alone, it has already surpassed all games on the market and directly eliminated the possibility of being pirated.
In addition, a game like "Legend of Mir" is aimed at specific gamers, so from the beginning, there was an inherent limit to the growth in the number of users.
However, this game "Blood Battle on Shanghai Beach" is different.
First, it's completely free. Second, there's no difficulty in getting started. As long as you know how to use a computer mouse, you will definitely be able to play this game, whether you are a student, office worker, young or old.
Of course, there was a third reason for Chen Fan's confidence.
That is the huge user base of Go Navigation Home.
According to backend data, the current number of Go Navigation Home users has exceeded 38 million.
And in 2002, the number of internet users in China was 60 million.
In other words, at least 50% of internet users in China are using Go Navigation Home.
Competitors like hao123 and other navigation pages are dividing up the remaining market share.
In this regard, Go Navigation Home has almost achieved an unparalleled dominance.
Just a banner ad is all that's needed to easily and precisely promote to these over 38 million internet users.
With such a huge user base, if it can't even reach 2 million downloads, Chen Fan felt that Starry Sky Game Studio should just disband.
Facts also proved that Chen Fan's prediction was correct.
In less than two days, the number of players for "Blood Battle on Shanghai Beach" has soared to 2 million.
And this number is still rising, with no signs of decreasing.
By now, everyone at Feifan Technology, including Liang Shichu and all the employees, has become completely in awe of this young boss Chen Fan.
On December 26th, the game's download count exceeded 3 million.
Many were brought in by acquaintances or friends.
One told ten, ten told a hundred, and the download rate increased faster and faster instead of declining.
During this period, some players have completed all the levels, and their golden game IDs immediately appeared on the regional leaderboards and national heroes leaderboards.
Now it's really started.
For the first time leaderboards appeared, it immediately stimulated other players even more, who had to climb to the top to show their faces.
These marketing tactics that seem so simple in the future were actually so effective now.
It was on the same day that Feifan Technology launched the paid item function.
Are you a player with poor skills, unable to complete all levels?
No problem, you can spend money to purchase more powerful items. Mouser semi-automatic rifles, Thompson submachine guns, want some?
What, you think killing enemies is too slow?
Czech ZB-26 light machine guns, Maxim heavy machine guns, let you experience the joy of spraying fire?
Still not satisfying enough?
No problem, as long as you're willing to spend money, the Type 97 tank will solve your worries, letting you experience the joy of unstoppable slaughter of Japanese devils.
However, the official clearly stated that any player who purchases items to complete levels will not have their scores displayed on the heroes leaderboards.
What?
You want to be on the leaderboards and show your face, but also want to spend money for enjoyment?
No problem, you can just purchase various weapon skins.
All kinds of cool weapon item skins will definitely dazzle your eyes and let you play to your heart's content.
Of course, in order to set difficulty for the gaming masters on the heroes leaderboards, the game has detailed rules for scoring.
For example, a headshot on a Japanese devil is 150 points, a body hit is 100 points, and a leg hit is 50 points.
This separates the scores of each player.
The regional and national heroes leaderboards all use a score system, with higher scores ranking higher.
If you think it's not exciting enough, no problem, the game soon released a speedrun leaderboard to see which player can speedrun the game in the shortest time.
The shorter the time, the higher the rank on the leaderboard.
A dazzling series of settings let players have an absolute blast.
On December 27th, a video only a dozen or so seconds long went online on the Go Navigation Home webpage.
It shows a player defeating the final boss.
This is when everyone realized that the final boss is actually Yamamoto Isoroku.
And in this level, you can only use a machete to duel one-on-one against the katana-wielding Yamamoto.
After winning, Yamamoto will kneel before you begging for mercy, then bleed to death.
When this video came out, players were directly shocked.
Damn, the final boss is this old dog.
Fuck! Must spend money!
Even if I don't get on the leaderboards, I'll spend money to fight to the last level and personally cross blades with the Japanese devil.
Not for anything else, just to see the old dog kneeling before me...
After this video came out, the entire gaming world went completely crazy.
