This Is Not a Bug but a Game Feature-Chapter 89: Partition Top Streamer
The promotional resources for "Divine Grace Continent" were more ample compared to previous games, so the early access version generated a much bigger buzz.
The Steam Platform, seeing this situation, also gave the new game a full week’s homepage recommendation exposure.
With various favorable news pushing it forward, many single-player gamers have heard of the game "Divine Grace Continent" and know it’s the new creation from the developer of "Star Emperor".
However, they didn’t rush to buy it; instead, they went to watch trial videos or live streams from various major content creators and game streamers.
They first get to know the game, and then decide whether to purchase based on the information they gathered.
This is also understandable...
After all, for many games, just hearing others talk about them might not evoke much feeling, but after watching others play, suddenly there’s a strong desire to buy and play it themselves.
There’s another possibility!
That is, for a game they were originally very interested in, after watching a few videos or live streams, they instantly lose interest, feeling that the game isn’t that exciting after all.
"Divine Grace Continent" performed quite well, at least in the eyes of players who love such games, and overall performance is indeed okay.
The only regret is that.
The game is still in a "semi-finished" development test state, and the official version will not be released until June.
During this period, many players are watching the follow-up, at most adding it to their wish list, but they didn’t dare to buy it immediately.
Soon, June came.
"Divine Grace Continent" unlocked the follow-up content for the Beastman Empire and Elf Kingdom in the early access version, and released both the official and deluxe versions for players to choose to purchase.
Pan Yang, a Thunderbolt game streamer who had heard about this game early on and had a simple experience, was the first to enter the game to try out the content of the official version.
Pan Yang is a friend of Guo Mo.
Like Guo Mo, he used to be a streamer in the Apex section. But now they both have transitioned to become a streamer for "Star Emperor".
Exactly!
Pan Yang is now the number one streamer in the Thunderbolt "Star Emperor" section, and his daily live streaming routine is playing Star Emperor, either playing ranked matches or taking water friends to play in 2v2 or 3v3 modes.
Although he is the number one in the section, "Star Emperor" is after all a niche and unpopular game, and the number of viewers for the live stream isn’t very high.
To put it bluntly...
Transitioning from a small streamer in the Apex section to the number one in the Star Emperor section, Pan Yang’s fan count basically hasn’t changed, it’s like jumping from a popular section to a niche section.
"Then why transition?"
Friends often ask him, since "Star Emperor" streaming doesn’t attract much viewership, why he insists on transitioning?
Every time he encounters this question, Pan Yang would smile and tell them: even though few people watch Star Emperor live streams, the audience can give out gold coins!
As the number one streamer in the "Star Emperor" section, Pan Yang now has over 2400 captains and 17 governors, surpassing many popular game streamers on Thunderbolt.
Yet, his usual live stream viewership is only about twenty to thirty thousand people...
Do you understand spending potential?
It’s hard to say about others, but based on Pan Yang’s own experience, indeed the players of Star Emperor are generally quite wealthy, and there are more Fu-supporters than in ordinary games.
The top supporter "Love Driving the Cullinan" has given him nearly a million in gifts, and the two of them have only known each other for about three months.
The whole section is like this.
Don’t be fooled by the small number of Star Emperor streamers and viewers; over at the platform’s super admin, they still hold significant weight in their words.
So what if there are few viewers and streamers?
There are Elder Fu-supporters, and they can give out gold coins, isn’t that enough! Other games are so popular, yet haven’t seen section streamers getting so much captain and Fu support!
"Divine Grace Continent" is a new game from Tianba Studio. Relying on Tianba Studio for a living, Pan Yang naturally streamed the early access version as soon as possible.
"It’s quite interesting, but not very suitable for live streaming!"
This is the judgment Pan Yang made about the game during the early access stage.
After all, he’s a game streamer and has to consider the feelings of the live audience, not just indulge in his own enjoyment. So during the early access phase, he played the game for a few days before giving it up.
This time, hearing about the official release and a lot of new content updates, he decided to livestream it.
After adjusting the streaming software, Pan Yang started the live broadcast on time.
"Today I won’t be playing ’Path to Immortality,’ I’ve already gotten all the titles, I’ll tackle the ranks some other day..."
After answering everyone’s questions, Pan Yang opened the newly downloaded and installed "Divine Grace Continent".
"Divine Grace Continent official edition released, Guo Mo said there are many updates, so today I’ll experience it a bit!"
"Same old, nothing much changed..."
As soon as he entered the game, Pan Yang noticed that compared to the early access version, the official version had hardly any significant changes.
He has a save file.
In this save, he had already solved the hidden monster disaster of the Human Kingdom, leveled up to 45, and had three "loyal" NPC teammates.
Why three?
Because an NPC Priest he previously nurtured accidentally got killed.
"The map is finally complete."
Upon pressing the M key to open the world map, seeing the previously dim Elf Kingdom and Beastman Empire light up, Pan Yang knew that this was the follow-up content unlocked by the official version.
However, he wasn’t very interested in it.
After all, he hasn’t played long, and the main and side quests of the Human Kingdom are not yet finished, so there’s no rush to explore the new maps.
"The team isn’t full, better recruit an NPC and get him to change profession to Priest first!"
Thinking about it, Pan Yang used the Teleportation Array to go to the capital city.
He planned to wander around.
Mainly to pick an agreeable NPC, recruit them into the team, and fill the missing Priest role. The capital city, with the most NPCs, was naturally his first choice.
"This one won’t do, too ugly!"
"This one’s okay, but he’s a bit short! Don’t know which aspect his growth potential leans towards..."
After picking and selecting until his eyes were almost picky, Pan Yang soon spotted a civilian male NPC named Pat.
Although most players prefer to recruit female NPCs for the profession change to Priest as such "nannies" are very popular.
But a male "nanny" isn’t unusable.
Having chosen the NPC, the next step is to build up goodwill, raise it to the "Follow" level, and then level him up, get him a profession change, and craft equipment for him.
The whole process went very smoothly.
Having played this game before and reached level 45, Pan Yang didn’t lack the materials and gold coins needed to support a male "nanny".
However, just as he was building goodwill, he couldn’t help but sneeze.
This sneeze directly caused the mouse to move, and the recipient of the gift changed to be Anna, the female Fire Element Mage in his team.
"Oh no, what a waste!"
Pan Yang frowned and couldn’t help but sigh.
The way to build goodwill in "Divine Grace Continent", mainly involves doing tasks, interacting in conversations, and giving gifts. Among them, giving gifts is the most convenient, but also the most costly.
Because the gifts are very expensive!
Moreover, once goodwill reaches above the "Follow" level, giving gifts has no effect, and goodwill can only be increased by grinding through monster kills.
