Chapter 24: A Trick! It's so cliché!
At the same time, the comment section also saw a significant increase in comments!
The intense impact prompted Zhu Ji to immediately open the comments section.
[Thanks for the invitation. I just came from a streamer who played The Binding of Isaac, and he's gone crazy.]
[After opening this chapter, I'm going crazy! Author, I'm bowing down in admiration! Are you writing a book or releasing a game trailer? (Donation of 100 reading coins)]
[Holy crap! I compared the timelines, and the release date of this chapter coincides with the official pre-sale date of the Insomnia Game!]
[Also, this chapter mentions that the game's official team received an interview invitation from Steam. Could that be true too?]
[This post has 387 replies folded]
[Bro, no, master! Can you give me a sneak peek at what the next update for Insomnia Game will be? I need to finish it so I can stock up on some nitroglycerin pills.]
[A rational analysis follows: Chapter 1 predicted the explosive popularity of "Getting Over It," and Chapter 21 accurately foreshadowed the platform's commercial partnership.]
If this isn't marketing, then there are only two possibilities.
First, the author is an insider of the insomnia game, most likely the producer himself.
Second, the author is an observer from a higher-dimensional space.
I personally lean towards the latter, because humans couldn't write such short and accurate updates!
[Reply: Holy crap! Case solved!]
[Reply: Serve the big shot some tea!]
[Reply: This is terrifying to think about!!]
[Tsk! The streamer next door couldn't even clear the first room with four drops of blood, getting utterly crushed by Isaac and cursing under his breath.]
[Hahaha, who can argue with that? He came back and discovered that this game of tormenting him had already been clearly set up in the novel.]
This is like a novel coming to life! The hilarity is incredible! (Donate 1 monthly ticket)
Zhu Ji even saw Buffett's comment in the comments section.
Comments below this book's review section:
[Based on the plot of this book, I've already heavily invested in insomnia game concept stocks!]
Believe in the Author, and you will have eternal life!
Holy crap! Count me in!
[Risk Warning: The author may stop updating at any time. Once that happens, you'll know it's time to run away...]
"..."
"All the concept stocks are coming... But Insomnia Game is just a small studio with only about twenty employees..."
Looking at these comments that attempted to conduct serious academic research, Zhu Ji instinctively spat out a mouthful of soda.
He took a deep breath and turned his gaze back to Chen Dazhuang's live stream.
"Holy crap..."
"This novel is really something!"
……
Now, Shen Huaizhou has also discovered the role of popularity points and how to collect them.
Only newly added favorites count as popularity.
However, recommendation votes and monthly votes are also included.
If more Gold Alliance Leaders like Zhu Ji appeared, their popularity would skyrocket in a short time, but it wouldn't last long.
Therefore, the most important thing is the popularity score contributed by normal comments.
If negative reviews appear, the popularity score may drop further.
Therefore, negative reviews should be avoided at all costs, because many readers may simply scroll past a page after seeing a negative review.
In total, the novel currently only has about twenty pages.
It has just entered the warehouse and hasn't even started testing the waters yet, so the future is promising.
The popularity scores have been compiled.
Before I could even sit down properly, I heard Su Jianxue suddenly slip in from outside the office.
He wiped his own hand with one hand and nudged himself with his elbow.
"Huaizhou, are you free tomorrow?"
"what?"
"Let's go meet a client tomorrow!"
Shen Huaizhou leaned back in his chair, bored, and used Alt+Tab to switch computer pages.
He asked casually, "Who are you going to see?"
"Hmm—the head of the Donghuang region of the steam engine platform is, strictly speaking, a department under them."
"In charge of the New Game Festival event."
"Our game just launched on the Steam platform, right? Perfect timing, they want to interview you."
"..."
Shen Huaizhou remained silent: "Oh~ a steam engine platform... I know..."
Games are like brewed wine.
They say good wine needs no bush, but in reality, if your wine isn't advertised, nobody will know about it.
The same applies to games.
Even if you work hard to develop your game, it will still go unnoticed if there is no platform to promote it.
Don't be fooled by the fact that there are many games available on the Steam platform.
But in reality...
Anyone who has worked on games, especially single-player games, knows this.
A game priced at sixty or seventy yuan, after being listed on these platforms, will only get you twenty or thirty yuan if you deduct advertising and other expenses.
"Do I really have to go by myself?"
"I think Old Chen could also do it..."
"Oh, okay then... Anyway, only one of us three needs to go. I also think it's fine for Brother Chen to go."
When Su Jianxue met Shen Huaizhou, she wasn't really in the mood for the interview.
I won't force you.
After all, Shen Huaizhou is now in charge of the design and development of all the games in the entire studio.
I have to write game code and game proposals.
I haven't had time to rest during this period.
She was thinking of not making him work too hard.
Su Jianxue turned and left the office. Su Heng only glanced at her casually and didn't take the matter to heart.
I played the game for a while.
Shen Huaizhou then continued working on the novel.
All the drafts have been published, and the second game has been released. The next thing to write about is the game at the Steam platform game festival.
The explosive popularity of "The Binding of Isaac" and its crushing victory over Tencent's new game.
In literary and entertainment novels, there must always be one or two villains.
The same applies to plagiarism articles about game development.
With the male protagonist Xiao Chunan's series of outrageous actions, Tencent's game studios have already set their sights on him.
They attempted to acquire the game studio where the male protagonist worked by taking a stake in it.
As he wrote this, Shen Huaizhou suddenly felt a pang of grief and indignation:
"Why isn't anyone coming to buy us?"
"Now I can focus on writing in peace!"
"The game became a hit, and the platform interviewed the protagonist. A major company took the opportunity to extend an olive branch, but the protagonist refused. The major company then stirred things up, and the game became a hit again, slapping the major company in the face."
"It's a formulaic story, a formulaic story!!"
After taking a sip of Coke, and under the influence of the masterful copying skills, inspiration struck!
In the novel, with Xiao Chunan's interview, this game studio came into the view of Donghuang, a major game company.
This time, the team that came to target him was one of the four major studios under Tencent.
Aurora Games.
Aurora Games has offered 10 million yuan to acquire a stake in ChuNan Technology Studio.
They even went so far as to say:
"All we need is for you to add our Aurora Games logo to two of your games."
"And you will become the A8 Studio under our Aurora Games Studio in the future."
"Producer Xiao, what do you think?"
