"The new game is a horror game!?"

"No, isn't it a JRPG like Octopath Traveler? Are you making a horror game?"

"Escape? What kind of game is this?"

"In other words, there seems to be no domestic manufacturer that has made horror games, right?"

"Yes, why not? Isn't Shadow Studio specialized in making horror games for 100 years? But it has been disbanded (Tan Shou)"

"There shouldn't be a market for horror games. The highest-selling domestic game is "Ghost 3" developed by Lionsgate, a foreigner, but it only sold 2.1 million!"

"Is this a Golden Bird Game Award, and then floated away?"

"I feel like I'm going to hit the street..."

Countless players are having heated discussions online.

At the same time, in the game circle, some people who were following Yang Chen and Nebula Studio were also surprised.

In a game industry exchange group:

"I thought that Yang Chen's next new game might be a JRPG just taking the 3D exquisite route?"

"He's a little bit floating. Horror games are not that easy to do."

"Yeah, it looks like horror games are easy, but in fact horror games are the hardest kind."

"It feels like resetting "The Binding of Isaac", Ken will be more reliable than doing a horror game, right?"

In the Chang'an studio, Lin Jia, who had just reposted Yang Chen's official blog, glanced at the original setting picture posted on it, turned his head and said to Zhuo Qing, "Why did he think of making a horror game?"

When Lin Jiayi saw the news, he was very puzzled, and he couldn't understand it.

When "The Binding of Isaac" and "Octopian Traveler" are very successful, shouldn't they continue to launch similar works to be stable?

Why did you twist your butt to make a horror game? This muddy water is not so nice.

Regardless of whether it is domestic or foreign, although there have been some horror games that have been called classics, they are far from sales in terms of sales.

"How do I know? It's probably swollen." Zhuo Qing pouted and asked him? Then who did he ask? He's not the roundworm in Yang Chen's stomach, so how do you know why people are making horror games.

"Inflated? I don't think he is that kind of person, but if he chooses the theme of horror games." Lin Jiayi shook his head as he spoke.

The cost is not high, and the requirements for the screen do not need to be too delicate. The development threshold of horror games is actually not very high, but it is definitely not that simple to make horror games well.

Yang Chen didn't know what other people thought, and he didn't care too much.

At the moment he is negotiating with the Galaxy Network about the distribution of the new game.

"Mr. Yang, if this is an ARPG or JRPG type of game, I'll definitely agree without saying a word, but a horror game..." Putting down the coffee in his hand, Chu Ge smiled wryly and shook his head.

Although "The Binding of Isaac" and "Octopian Traveler" have succeeded one after another, he is really not too optimistic about the horror game "Escape", even if he has already played the demo version provided by the other party.

This is indeed a scary enough game, and it is a little different from the previous horror games. Many settings in "Escape" surprised him, and even when he played, he was often shocked.

Turning back to kill, sudden monster attack, these things are actually very old-fashioned horror tactics, but with the environment atmosphere in "Escape", it still made Chu Ge frightened during the trial.

But none of these advantages can hide the fact that this is a horror game.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Chu Ge really thinks that the game has no potential, but he feels that it is not a very cost-effective thing to get it at a price that is too high.

Half an hour later, Yang Chen left the cafe,

He also had a contract in his hand.

In the end, "Escape" was still handed over to Galaxy Network for agency distribution, but the conditions were changed.

The agency distribution fee paid by Galaxy Network to Nebula Studio is reduced, and their share of later profits is also reduced.

Yang Chen was quite satisfied with this result. Originally, he didn't want to be more obsessed with the agency distribution fee. Otherwise, the three majors would be a better choice to be on the safe side.

In particular, there have been two popular games, "The Binding of Isaac" and "Octopian Traveler". Although the new work "Escape" is a horror game, the three majors will still be willing to give "Escape" a good price. .

On the contrary, Galaxy Network is much smaller than the three big ones in terms of volume and existing funds. They cannot invest too much in agency distribution fees, especially for a horror game that has been performing poorly in the market, so I think If you want to win them, you can only continue to make concessions on the sharing regulations.

At night, the bed in the bedroom.

Hearing Yang Chen talk about his negotiation with Galaxy Network, Wang Yaliang blinked his eyes and sighed: "You are really a profiteer!"

With a speechless expression, Yang Chen patted Wang Yaliang's thigh: "Did you say that about your own family?"

"That is, the quality of "Escape" is good enough, otherwise the Galaxy Network would not agree." Yang Chen pouted.

Wang Yaliang pinched Yang Chen's small arm in return: "Then we can just publish the game ourselves. It's all digital games anyway, and there are more than 50 million in the account now."

This large sum of money is mainly the profit of "The Binding of Isaac" and "Octopian Traveler", and the development cost of "Escape" is about 13 million.

Yang Chen had some intentions.

Is game promotion important? Of course it matters.

If there is no previous promotion of "The Collection of Isaac" by Galaxy Network before the game, and "Octopian Traveler", it would be absolutely impossible to break through one million sales in such a short period of time.

Although by virtue of the quality of the game itself, it will still be very popular in the end, but it will definitely not be so fast.

"Let's take a look at the market reaction of "Escape" first." Yang Chen thought for a while.

The platform channel of Galaxy Network is actually quite small, at least not as good as the three big ones, and the game is different from the movie.

In terms of movies, the most important thing is the theater chain. Without the theater chain to arrange the films for you, no matter how good your film is, you will not get a high box office.

But the game is different. As long as the game is good enough and players can know about the game, it can sell well enough.

The previous "The Binding of Isaac" and "Octopian Traveler" said that it was a joke to make Nebula Studio become such a powerful existence, but at least in the current time period, Nebula Studio's popularity of players' traffic is absolutely It will not be worse than the old-fashioned game studios such as Changan Studio. Of course, the premise is that there is no game fault, or there is a game with a bad reputation.

If "Escape" doesn't fail, the next "Resident Evil" will be released by Nebula Studio itself.

Leaning on the bed, Yang Chen made a decision in his heart.

"Just do it if you think you can." Wang Yaliang rested his head on Yang Chen's shoulder.

"Then what if I lose everything?" Hearing Wang Yaliang's words to cheer him up, Yang Chen was inexplicably happy, and a smile appeared on his face.

"If you lose, you will lose. Anyway, the money we earn now is something we could never earn in our lifetime, and we still have two houses and a car under our name. Take a step back, even if you really lose everything, it's a big deal. Do you start all over again, you have the qualifications to develop "The Binding of Isaac" and "Octopian Traveler", and you are afraid of starving yourself to death?" Wang Yaliang laughed.

With a smile, Yang Chen lightly patted Wang Yaliang's smooth back.

"Hu...hu...wang...wang...hu."

At this time, there was an unusually strange sound near the bedside table.

The two of them sat up and looked at the sound, only to see Gangdan sleeping sideways in their own nest, and twisting their bodies.

"When did Gang Dan sleep and snort! He also called twice just now, isn't he talking in his sleep!" After confirming that it was Gang Dan who was snoring and talking in his sleep, Wang Yaliang had a ghostly expression on his face.

On the other side, as if he noticed that someone was staring at him who was sleeping, Gang Dan, who had been snoring all the time, suddenly quieted down, then wagged his tail slightly, opened his eyes and stared blankly at Yang Chen who was staring at it. And Wang Yaliang.

"Wang Wang..."
