Chapter 199: Celebration Banquet (Third Watch)
A high-end restaurant near the experience store.
With the first month of sales of "Diablo", everyone is relieved, and people who were worried about investing too much and not recovering the cost are also relieved.
This sales volume is a big hit.
It's only the first month, and with the continuous expansion of the player base, it will have to be maintained at this level for at least two or three months, and by that time, the cumulative sales of "Diablo" will run to five or six million without any problem, and this game will definitely become a masterpiece like "Warcraft", both popular and popular.
Although this dark and terrifying art style dissuaded a small number of players, Diablo is an RPG with fragmented gameplay and a well-made production, and it is a sure thing that it will surpass Warcraft in terms of sales.
This time it was a celebration banquet, Chen Mo was not stingy, and directly asked his assistant Lin Xiao to find a high-end restaurant with a per capita consumption of more than 600 nearby, and invited everyone to eat openly.
Chen Mo didn't care much about these before, after all, Su Jinyu and Zheng Hongxi were half-employees and half-friends, so they could be relatively casual, and Chen Mo himself was relatively homely and too lazy to go out.
But now that the team has expanded, these new employees still have to look like a serious company, and they can't be as casual as before.
Of course, there is no need to have a lot of rules like some departments, this kind of gathering is between a gathering of friends and a business banquet, or is it mainly for fun and celebration, so if you want to drink, drink something, and if you don't want to drink, drink a drink.
Chen Mo raised his glass: "Thank you very much for your hard work in this half a year, the sales of "Diablo" in the first month of 1.87 million sets is already a very good result, these are inseparable from everyone's hard work and close cooperation, I toast everyone, we have a happy cooperation." ”
Everyone raised their glasses.
"To the store manager."
"Congratulations to the store manager, the game is a big seller."
"It's still the store manager's creativity!"
"Yes, we belong to the kind of people who follow the store manager to lie down and win, and shout 666."
"Cheers!"
Staggered, push the cup and change the lamp.
Everyone ate very happily, after all, the game is a big hit, everyone has a bonus, and a more glorious sum has been added to the resume, and there are more bragging points.
Zhou Hanyu raised his glass and said to Chen Mo: "Store manager, I toast you." Originally, I thought that coming here would be the same as before, and the things I made would not be too bad. But now I realize that this place is really different from those companies outside. I was so surprised that I could still learn something here, and I really didn't expect the art style of "Diablo" to be successful, I can only say that I admire. ”
Chen Mo raised his glass and said: "It's obvious to say this, the game can be popular is everyone's joint effort, take art and music as an example, I just give a general idea, and the specific work is done by you and Guangnan." This game may not be as popular as it is now without anyone here, so you don't have to be restrained, eat openly. ”
Chen Mo himself is also very happy, "Diablo" has gone through many twists and turns in the previous life when it entered the country, although this game has set a sales record of 30 million in the international market, but it is ill-fated in China.
Chen Mo wasn't sure if this thing could pass the review, and whether the players would accept it, but now it seems that his worries are a bit redundant, and this game is more than enough to support his first step towards RPG.
Zheng Hongxi said: "Store manager, in the past month or so, the first batch of players who first bought Diablo have been a little annoyed, do we have to take any measures to improve it?" ”
Zhao Yunting, who is in charge of operations, said: "I don't think so. This is originally a stand-alone game with a buyout fee, and it can be played for a month, which is already a very good game duration, do you still expect players to play it for a lifetime? ”
Su Jinyu said: "At first glance, you don't know anything about the store manager, you see that "Plants vs. Zombies" and "Warcraft" are all stand-alone games, which one is not very playable? The store manager will definitely develop subsequent versions to extend the life of the game. ”
Chen Mo smiled: "Goldfish is right, there will be a follow-up version, and DLC will have to be sold." ”
Qian Kun clapped his hands: "This is good, sell a DLC, and have another two million sets!" ”
Chen Mo said: "Regarding the follow-up development version, I will talk to you in detail tomorrow." To put it simply, the next step is to develop a DLC version of Diablo with two new classes, a new chapter and season, and a new way to play in Expert mode. The other is to develop a small-scale game. ”
Su Jinyu asked, "Do two games at the same time?" ”
Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, our manpower is relatively sufficient now, just use more than half of the manpower to do this thing in DLC, and there is no hurry, just make it almost within three months." Others are working on relatively small games at the same time. ”
Qian Kun said: "Store manager, I think it's better, it seems that it's better to play large-scale games, you think, large-scale games make a lot of money, and the reputation is good, why do we bother to do those small games." ”
"You can't think of it that way." Chen Mo said, "Big games have the advantages of big games, and small games have the advantages of small games. Bird's nest shark fin is good, but you will get tired of eating it at once, and these small games can be regarded as a change of thinking for everyone. ”
Zhou Hanyu said: "Okay, anyway, what the store manager decides to do, we will do it, and it will never be wrong to follow the store manager." ”
Fu Guangnan was speechless: "Wow, it's not advisable to force sycophants!" ”
Chen Mo smiled: "You don't have to be so outside, I've emphasized to you before, I'm a more pragmatic person, I don't like to play those virtual things, the most important thing for me is to do a good job in the game, and other things are all trivial." ”
"I told you before that taking everyone to earn money lying down is definitely not an empty word, of course, making money is not the only purpose. I also hope to make some fun mini-games to inspire players. I hope you all agree with me on this point, making money is a matter of the way, and our first goal is to make fun games, okay? ”
Everyone nodded: "Okay!" ”
……
The next day, the studio.
In the conference room, everyone arrived, waiting for Chen Mo to explain the next stage of the development plan.
Chen Mo had already mentioned it at the celebration banquet yesterday, and this time two projects were carried out at the same time, one was the follow-up version of "Diablo", and the other was a new game.
On the projector screen, the title of the document appears: "Diablo: Scythe of the Soul" concept setting.
Chen Mo explained: "This new version is called 'Soul Snatcher', and in this version there will be two new classes, a new story chapter, and some special gameplay, such as season mode and expert mode. ”
