Chapter 199 Celebration Banquet

A high-end restaurant near the experience store.

With the sales of "Diablo" in the first month, everyone felt at ease, and people who were worried that the investment would not be able to recover the cost were also relieved.

This sale is quite a big sale.

Mainly this is only the first month, and as the player base continues to spread, it will be at least two or three months to maintain this level. By that time, the cumulative sales of "Diablo" will run to five or six million completely. No problem, this game is sure to become the same masterpiece as Warcraft, both acclaimed and well-received.

Although this dark and terrifying art style has discouraged a small number of players, "Diablo" is an RPG game with fragmented gameplay and well-made. It is a sure thing that its sales surpass that of "Warcraft".

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

Chen Mo didn't pay much attention to 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 rather homely, so he was too lazy to go out.

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

Of course, there is no need to have as many rules as some departments. This kind of gathering is between friends gathering and business banquet, and it is mainly about fun and celebration, so if you want to drink, drink some wine, 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 the past six months. The first month of "Diablo" sold 1.87 million copies, which is already a very good result. These are inseparable from everyone's hard work and close cooperation. , I toast everyone, we are happy to cooperate."

Everyone toasted.

"Respect the store manager."

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

"It's still the manager's creativity!"

"Yes, we belong to the kind who follow the store manager to win and shout 666."

"cheers!"

The gong chips are staggered, and the cups are replaced.

Everyone was very happy to eat. After all, the game was a big sale, everyone got bonuses, and a more glorious addition was added to their resumes, and there was more bragging rights.

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 did would not be much different. But now I found out that this place is really different from those companies outside. It's a surprise that I can still learn something here. The art style of "Diablo" can be achieved. I really didn't expect it, and I can only say admiration. "

Chen Mo raised his glass and said, "It's a shame to say this. It's everyone's joint effort to make the game popular. Take art and music as an example. I'm just giving a general idea. The specific work is done by you and Guangnan. To complete it. This game may not be as popular as it is now without anyone here, don’t be restrained, let’s eat it openly.”

Chen Mo himself is also very happy. "Diablo" has gone through many twists and turns in the past life. Although this game has set a sales record of 30 million in the international market, it is ill-fated in China.

Chen Mo was not sure whether this thing could pass the trial or not, and whether the players would accept it. Now it seems that his worries are a bit unnecessary. This game is more than enough to support him as the first step towards RPG.

Zheng Hongxi said: "Store manager, in the past month or so, the first batch of players who bought Diablo for the first time have already gotten a bit annoying. Do we have to take any measures to improve it?"

Zhao Yunting, who is in charge of the operation, 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 first glance. You see that "Plants vs. Zombies" and "Warcraft" are both stand-alone games. Which one is not very playable? The store manager will definitely develop follow-up versions to extend the life of the game. of."

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

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

Chen Mo said: "About the follow-up development version, I will tell you in detail tomorrow. In short, there are two goals for the next step. One is to develop the DLC version of "Diablo" and add two new occupations. , a new chapter and season, new gameplay in expert mode. Another is to develop a small production game.”

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

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, our manpower is relatively sufficient now, and DLC can be done with more than half of the manpower, so don't worry, it will be almost done within three months. Others will develop some relatively small ones at the same time. game made."

Qian Kun said: "Store manager, I think, it seems that large-scale games are better. You think, large-scale games make more money and have a good reputation. Why should we do those small games again?"

"You can't think like that." 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 fins are good, but they get tired of eating them all. These small games can be regarded as a way to change people's thinking. ."

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

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

Chen Mo smiled: "You don't have to be so ostentatious, I have emphasized to you before that I am a pragmatic person, and I don't like to play those imaginary things. The most important thing for me is to make the game well, and other things. It's all the minutiae."

"I told everyone before that I would take everyone to make money by lying down. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is definitely not empty talk. Of course, making money is not the only purpose. I also hope to make some interesting mini-games to give players a little inspiration. I hope everyone agrees with me on this point, making money is a matter of the way, and our first goal is to make a good game, okay?"

Everyone nodded: "Okay!"

...

The next day, the studio.

In the conference room, everyone was here, waiting for Chen Mo to explain the development plan for the next stage.

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

On the projector screen, the title of the document appeared: "Diablo: Reaper of Souls" concept setting.

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

"Next, I'll talk one by one."
