Chapter 59: This game is addictive!
"The book 'Getting Over It' has sold a total of 1.2 million copies both domestically and internationally to date."
"The Binding of Isaac has sold a total of 900,000 copies both domestically and internationally."
"Human: Fall Flat has sold a total of 1.5 million copies."
"Of the three data points above, the sales of Isaac and Fall Flat have steadily increased due to the launch of the MOD project."
Qi Qi began her report.
Upon seeing this data, the entire conference room was filled with shock!
hiss! ! !
This is nearly four million data entries! Is this Insomnia Game Studio still a small company?
Whispers could be heard coming from inside the meeting room.
The operations department and the marketing department all looked in Qi Qi's direction, each of them deep in thought.
"This company has a bright future."
"Yes, all three games have sold millions of copies, and it's from a new company."
"That's good. Newcomers are energetic, and Mr. Qian's idea is correct. It would be better to try to cooperate with this company as soon as possible."
"I imagine other companies are also eyeing the exclusive distribution rights, right?"
"Yes, we can all see the potential in this company, let alone the others."
"By the way, how much does this Overcooked game cost? How many copies have been sold?"
"If I remember correctly, the initial price was ninety-eight, right?"
"Hmm—the future looks promising—"
After a discussion, the idea of collaborating with Qian Chen was affirmed.
Qi Qi's side also targets the same group of players who have been playing insomnia-related games recently.
The game mechanics and online playtime were analyzed in depth.
The meeting lasted until 9 p.m.
That was barely the end.
Qian Chen looked at the executives, who were still deep in thought, and slowly said, "Alright."
"This is all the information and intelligence we've compiled regarding the insomnia game."
"Mr. Qian, I think we should start a collaboration with Insomnia Games immediately."
"This company has great potential, and I'm worried that some overseas platforms may have already recognized its potential as well."
"It was Director Yao from the Marketing Department who spoke first."
"Old Yao, you're right. We need to reach a cooperation agreement with them as soon as possible."
"Xiao Qi, I'm leaving this matter to you. Give me a proposal before you leave work tomorrow."
"I'll go and talk to them myself."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean...
Xbox, NS and other major gaming platforms.
They were also urgently analyzing the same set of data at the same time!
Soon after, similar instructions were quickly issued to the email addresses of the general agents of each platform in the Donghuang region:
Contact us now!
We must secure a partnership with this game company!
We will release existing games as soon as possible and strive to launch future titles simultaneously on platforms other than PC!
……
The next day, at six o'clock in the morning, Shen Huaizhou had already gotten up.
There are only two things to do when I get up this early: first, write; second, check the trending topics on Weibo.
As a web novelist, don't be fooled by the fact that updating 4,000 words a day is already enough.
In reality, writing those four thousand words was far more painful than developing a piece of code.
As the saying goes, "A cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and two thousand words a day" perfectly describes the work of online writers who work year-round without a break.
Even if you've reached the level of a top-tier author or platinum-level writer, and haven't written a book for several years, you still need to check various platforms to read novels that interest you as soon as you open your eyes each day.
In my past life, I often saw a few familiar ancient gods subscribing to books on Qidian that I had never read before.
After washing my face, I rinsed my mouth.
Then I uploaded the draft and glanced at the comments section.
Unsurprisingly, he still holds a top-three position on the newcomer list, without fail.
It's impossible to go up or down.
Many people who read this novel are mostly there for entertainment.
With all four games being ported to gaming platforms, the speculations about his identity in the novel became increasingly accurate.
Some people have already anchored themselves on this issue.
It was just one step away from success when someone exposed it.
The comments section was flooded with people who weren't die-hard readers but were curious about what he would write about in his next game.
These people are obviously insiders in the industry.
They're definitely looking for design ideas in their own novels, so ignore them.
After briefly glancing at the comments...
Shen Huaizhou took the century egg and lean pork congee delivered by takeout and ate it down in a few bites along with fried dough sticks and soy milk.
"Overcooked is operating smoothly, and all that's needed now is to update a few DLCs and bring Overcooked 2 to the market."
"However, the second part can be split up and updated as DLC."
"As for the next game..."
These four games have really made Insomnia Studio famous.
Interactive, connected, online, roguelike, dungeon, and adventure.
Shen Huaizhou touched his stubble-free chin and pondered carefully.
I casually opened Weibo.
See if there are any trending news articles that can give you some ideas?
As an author, you have to keep up with current events!
A long time ago, there was a website called Delu News Network.
The authors on this website are more attentive to current events than anyone else, often capturing the latest trending topics on social media.
In less than an hour, it can become a novel on this website.
However, due to some questionable actions, this "Whampoa Military Academy" of the online literature world was on the verge of collapse.
Keke, get back to business.
Having just taken a bite of the fried dough stick and swallowed it with warm soy milk, Shen Huaizhou opened the Weibo app.
I'm curious what's trending on Weibo today.
result.
I had just opened it when a trending topic popped right in front of me!
#This game is addictive! After playing this game, my girlfriend drained me dry all night!#
The moment I saw the title—
"puff--!"
Shen Huaizhou spat out his entire mouthful of soy milk.
What the hell?
How can something like this trend on social media? Is this really not a covert advertisement by Donghuang Civil Affairs?
You know, when it comes to games, almost never good news comes from trending topics.
Either a parent reports that games are harming minors.
Either certain companies are vying for the top spots on trending topics lists or something.
I haven't seen a single good thing.
All the bad things are happening.
What kind of game is this? How could it be so audacious as to buy such a trending topic, defying all public opinion?
Is that reasonable?
Out of curiosity, Shen Huaizhou clicked on the link to the trending topic.
The next second, I saw the full trending topic of this Weibo post.
#This game is addictive! After playing this game, my girlfriend drained me dry all night!#
#One night passed, and I couldn't sleep.#
#Suspected covert advertising by the Ministry of Civil Affairs!#
#OvercookedKitchen!#
Wait! What's that? A Overcooked Kitchen tag!
Holy crap—Nonsense Kitchen?
You rascal, don't cause a death!
