Chapter 35: The author is going all out for just one monthly ticket.
This night was destined to be a night of revelry for the players!
Three game release festivals a year, almost every game company waits for their game to be selected by players.
It's like choosing the most beautiful courtesan.
Let alone small studios like Insomnia Games, even the operations staff of big companies didn't sleep a wink all night.
They're afraid that their game might be forgotten by players if they're not careful.
Then their new game launch event just becomes a joke.
This kind of thing happens quite often in the Donghuang Games market.
Especially when the two game companies, Heilong and Gangzi, fought each other, the heavens and earth collapsed, and even the Great Dao was directly obliterated.
Everyone wants to capitalize on this publicity opportunity.
However, whether they can truly demonstrate their skills depends on their abilities.
……
Insomnia game.
As soon as Chen Qingshan entered the company gate, he saw Su Jianxue had already run to the operations department.
He couldn't help but frown.
Why does this girl always get up earlier than me every day?
Brother Huaizhou, you might be in some danger.
However, when Chen Qingshan entered the company, the atmosphere inside seemed a little off.
As the face of the insomnia game, it is called "True".
The water dispenser manager, and Xiao Chen, the HR receptionist for the insomnia game.
"Brother Chen! Good morning."
Chen Qingshan was about to return to his office when Su Jianxue caught him red-handed.
"Good morning, Lao Xue."
Chen Qingshan awkwardly scratched the back of his head. Once Su Jianxue caught him in the act, who knew what this woman would make him do?
"Oh, Brother Chen, why are you being so formal?"
"Don't be shy, Brother Chen, come on, take a look at this!"
"uh-huh?"
Chen Qingshan approached the computer in charge of operations with a puzzled look.
On the screen, the online player count curve for "Human: Fall Flat" continues to climb.
"Mr. Chen, since the release yesterday, the number of concurrent online users in China has exceeded 300,000. The peak occurred after 11 p.m. last night."
"This peak was reached after 11 p.m. last night."
"Currently, the positive review rate on the Steam Engine platform has reached 95%."
"The refund rate is less than two percent, and most of those refunds are from solo players."
"Here are the sales figures for Human: Fall Flat and two other games from last night to now."
Although Chen Qingshan is not in charge of finance, he is still in charge of operations.
Among the three giants of the insomnia game industry, everyone knows that President Shen is only responsible for planning and game production.
Mr. Su is only responsible for financial management.
The actual operations and storefront management are all handled by Mr. Chen Qingshan.
Chen Qingshan had to admit that the three of them were the three pillars supporting the insomnia game.
If even one of them is missing, the company can't continue operating.
After taking the documents, Chen Qingshan glanced at the data for "Getting Over It" and "The Binding of Isaac"—both had sold over 200,000 copies. He nodded slightly.
However, when one looks at the sales figures for Human: Fall Flat...
He was stunned.
"Two hundred thousand copies sold in one night?"
"Xiao Liu, is this data correct?"
"Absolutely correct, Mr. Chen. I checked it myself, and Mr. Su checked it twice under my supervision. The data is definitely correct."
"Especially from 11 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. last night, sales almost skyrocketed, from 50,000 to 180,000."
"The last 20,000 copies were updated this morning."
Gurgle.
Chen Qingshan unconsciously swallowed.
Goodness... Has Shen Huaizhou really finally figured it out?
How did he suddenly become a genius in the gaming world, as if he had unlocked his full potential?
"Where's Lao Shen?"
"I don't know, he hasn't shown up today. Maybe he's in his office?"
"Hmm—let's not worry about anything else for now, Xiao Liu, let's upgrade everyone's afternoon tea today."
"Just tell me what you want to eat!"
"However, Australian lobster is out of the question; we can't have too much to eat for lunch."
He paused, a smile spreading across his lips:
"Also, everyone who worked overtime this week will receive a bonus!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire office area erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.
……
The air in October is not humid.
The maple leaves that fall in late autumn are actually a bit depressing.
People's joys and sorrows are different.
While both games involved in insomnia, Shen Huaizhou remained glued to his seat.
He looked utterly hopeless.
Good news! The game is a success. Last night's sales figures for Human: Fall Flat exceeded our expectations.
After all, this game has sold 58 million copies worldwide.
Since its release, this game has been known for its unique soft physics engine and addictive character animations.
It has created countless joys around the world.
Its most crucial element is the friendship-ending element in online mode, truly deserving of its reputation as the ultimate party game.
Furthermore, subsequent updates have ensured that the game has maintained its fun factor.
The bad news is that several days have passed since the new chapter was released.
I received three monthly passes! Three!
The monthly passes for AI players are not included in the monthly passes required by the system; the monthly pass popularity value is calculated based on the AI players' scores.
These are entirely from the paying readers of the online reading platform.
"Damn, at this rate, how am I going to make my fourth game?"
Shen Huaizhou stared at the redemption page, completely baffled.
The release of the fourth game in the novel is relatively simple.
However, in reality, the fourth game is now being suppressed by a mere hundred monthly passes.
Is this what a whale (high spender) looks like?
Horror!
The cheerful laughter of everyone in the work area echoed in his ears, and through the glass, he could clearly feel their joy.
As for Shen Huaizhou, the next move needs to be done completely in secret from everyone!
Chapter 33: The New Product Festival Ranking Controversy!
[With Xiao Chunan's third game being released on Steam.]
[Within just one day, sales reached 200,000, completely slapping Aurora Games in the face.]
But is that all there is to it?
[Aurora Games.]
A mysterious phone call was made from the marketing department office.
[Wouldn't it be too easy for Aurora Games to suppress ChuNan Technology?]
For major game companies, a single phone call can determine the life or death of a game.
The new product festival on the steam platform is also a product of capital.
How could a major game developer that firmly controls all of Donghuang's media platforms allow a small game studio to defy them?
Thus, a new campaign to suppress Chu Nan Technology quietly began...
After finishing this chapter, Shen Huaizhou hesitated for a long time before reluctantly clicking on the author's note.
After struggling for a long time, he finally typed out a line:
[Please continue reading! Please vote with monthly tickets!]
[If the author receives 100 valid monthly votes within three days, the author will wear black stockings and do a giant swing!]
