Almighty Game Designer Chapter 199: Celebration Banquet

A high-end restaurant near the experience store.

With the sales of "Diablo" in the first month, everyone feels at ease, and people who were worried that the investment would be too large to recover the cost are also relieved.

This sales volume is considered a big hit.

Mainly this is only the first month. Later, as the player community continues to spread, it will have to be maintained at this level for at least two or three months. By then, the cumulative sales of "Diablo" will be five or six. Millions is no problem at all, this game will definitely become a masterpiece like "Warcraft", both applauded and popular.

Although this dark and horrible art style dissuades a small number of players, "Diablo" is an RPG game with fragmented gameplay, and it is well-made. Its sales surpassed "Warcraft" and it is certain. Something up.

This was considered a celebration banquet, and Chen Mo was not stingy. He directly asked his assistant Lin Xiao to find a nearby high-end restaurant with an average consumption of more than 600 per capita, and asked everyone to open up and eat.

Previously, Chen Mo didn't care much about this. After all, Su Jinyu and Zheng Hongxi were half-employees and half-friends, so they could be relatively casual. Moreover, Chen Mo himself was relatively homey and lazy.

But now that the team has expanded, it still has to look like a serious company in front of these new employees, and can no longer be as casual as before.

Of course, there is no need to have as many rules as in some departments. This kind of gathering is between a friend gathering and a business banquet. It is still mainly about fun and celebration. So if you want to drink, drink some wine, and you don’t want to drink. Just drink a drink.

Chen Mo raised his glass: "Thank you very much for your hard work in the past six months. The sales volume of "Diablo" in the first month of 1.87 million sets is already a very good result. All of these are inseparable from your hard work. With close cooperation, I toast everyone, let’s cooperate happily."

Everyone raised their glasses.

"Respect to the store manager."

"Congratulations to the store manager, the game is selling well."

"The manager is still creative!"

"Yes, we belong to the kind that lie down with the store manager and yell 666."

"Cheers!"

The ambitions are staggered, and the cup is changed.

Everyone was very happy to eat. After all, the game is selling big, everyone has a bonus, and a more glorious sum is added to the resume, and there are more bragging talks.

Zhou Hanyu raised his glass and said to Chen Mo, "The shop manager, I toast you. I thought I would be here as before, and the things I did would not be too different. But now I found out that this place is really the same as those outside. The company is different. It’s really surprising that I can learn something here. The art style of "Diablo" can be achieved. I really didn’t expect it. I can only say admiration."

Chen Mo toasted and said: "It’s a big deal to say that. The game is a joint effort of everyone. Taking art and music as an example, I just give a general concept. The specific work is You and Guangnan went to finish it. This game may not be as popular as it is now without anyone in the room. Don’t be restrained and eat openly."

Chen Mo himself is also very happy. "Diablo" entered the country after a lot of twists and turns in the previous life. Although this game has set a sales record of 30 million in the international market, it is considered to be ill-fated in China.

Chen Mo was originally not sure whether this thing will pass the trial, and the players will accept it. Now it seems that his worry is a bit redundant. This game is more than enough to support him as the first step towards RPG. Up.

Zheng Hongxi said: "Manager, in this more than a month, the first batch of players who bought "Diablo" has been a bit annoying, should we take any measures to improve it?"

Zhao Yunting, who is in charge of operations, said: "I don't think it is necessary. This is a stand-alone game with a buyout fee. It can be played for a month. This game is already very long. Do you still expect players to play for a lifetime?" /

Su Jinyu said: "You don’t know the store manager at the first glance. You see "Plants vs. Zombies" and "Warcraft" are stand-alone games. Which one is not very playable? The store manager will definitely develop subsequent versions, Extend the life of the game."

Chen Mo smiled: "Goldfish is right, there will be a follow-up version, and it will have to sell DLC."

Qian Kun clapped his hands: "This is good, sell a DLC, and another two million sets!"

Chen Mo said: "As for the follow-up development version, I will talk to you in detail tomorrow. Simply put, there are two goals for the next step. One is to develop the DLC version of "Diablo" with two additions. A new profession, a new chapter and season, a new gameplay in expert mode. The other is to develop a small production game."

Su Jinyu asked: "Do two games at the same time?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, we have enough manpower now. DLC can be done with more than half of the manpower. Don't worry, it's almost enough to do it in three months. Other people will develop at the same time. Some relatively small games."

Qian Kun said: "The manager, I think, it seems that big games are better, you think, big games make more money, and the reputation is good, why should we do those small games again."

"Don't think so." Chen Mo said, "Big games have the advantages of big games, and small games have the advantages of small games. Bird's nest and shark fin are good, but you will get tired of eating them all. These small games are for everyone Change your thinking."

Zhou Hanyu said: "Okay, anyway, the store manager decides what to do, we will do what we do. It is never wrong to follow the store manager."

Fu Guangnan was speechless: "Wow, flattering is not desirable!"

Chen Mo laughed: "You don’t need to be so distracted. I have emphasized it with you before. I am a more pragmatic person and don’t like playing those imaginary things. The most important thing for me is to make the game well. The other things are all minutiae."

"Before I told you to take everyone to lie down to make money~IndoMTL.com~ is definitely not an empty talk. Of course, making money is not the only purpose. I also hope to make some interesting games to give players some inspiration . I hope everyone agrees with me on this point. Making money is a matter of convenience. Our first goal is to make a game that is fun, okay?"

Everyone nodded: "Okay!"

……

The next day, the studio.

In the meeting room, everyone is here, waiting for Chen Mo to explain the next stage of development plan.

Chen Mo mentioned it at the celebration dinner yesterday. This time two projects are going on at the same time. One is a follow-up version of "Diablo" and the other is a new game.

On the projector screen, the title of the document appears: "Diablo: Reaper of Souls" concept settings.

Chen Mo explained: "This new version is called'Reaper of Souls'. In this version, two new classes and a new plot chapter will be opened, as well as some special gameplay, such as season mode and expert mode. ."

"Next, I will talk about them one by one."
