To ascend, I had no choice but to create games-Chapter 565 - 328: A Crazy World (Part 2)_2
Chapter 565 -328: A Crazy World (Part 2)_2
From this, it can be inferred that some major capital was eyeing up Fang Cheng Studio and planning to stir the waters in this way to conceal their true intentions.
After organizing the recent intelligence, Wang Xiaoying handed over the information she had summarized to Fang Cheng and said, “Boss, this situation is a bit dangerous.”
Scanning the information ten lines at a glance, Fang Cheng sighed, “There are still those who appreciate quality.”
“Hmm?”
Wang Xiaoying looked at Fang Cheng with confusion, suspecting her boss might have been befuddled by the situation.
Boss, you really can’t let anything happen to you!
I was already prepared to dedicate my whole career to such an ‘Immortal’ studio.
Putting aside the documents at hand, Fang Cheng said indifferently, “It’s no big deal, just keep doing as we are. What are you worried about?”
“The attack this time was well prepared and is likely a probe of our reaction, followed by their next move. Public opinion among players can actually be manipulated easily, and I’m worried that someone will target us and then make their big move.”
“Don’t worry about that, we just need to focus on making the game.”
Although Fang Cheng appeared calm, Wang Xiaoying still felt somewhat anxious.
Returning to her workstation, she felt the need to prepare in advance for this issue to avoid problems when the time came.
No matter how much chaos the ‘paid posters’ outside created, the release of ‘Limit World’ still went on smoothly and in an orderly fashion.
On the day of the release, the number of gamers taking leave from various companies was twenty percent higher than usual.
The long agony finally came to an end on this day with the moon shining bright, and the suffering ended as they handed over 128 yuan for the long-desired ‘Limit World’.
While other players were rushing into the gaming world, Wang Xiaoying was also nervously monitoring the backend data.
She was well aware of the game’s quality; it could be said to be the top extreme sports-themed game on the market.
The content of the game had almost no weaknesses thanks to the polishing of her colleagues at the studio, and every minute difference in control had been adjusted to near perfection.
The passion of the planners this time was completely different than before; although they had always been passionate, there was something slightly different this time.
Because this year, they wanted to contest for the title of the best game of the year.
The International Game Awards to be held in December would take place in the United States, an event jointly organized by several renowned game giants and known as the Oscars of the gaming world.
This award would feature several sub-categories, including, but not limited to, Game of the Year, Best Independent Game, Best Narrative Game, and others.
Fang Cheng Studio’s several games had already received wide acclaim, but so far, they had yet to secure any significant awards. The walls of their studio still lacked something and seemed awkwardly bare.
With the addition of the Virtual Reality Game Capsule, they should be able to bag the virtual reality award this year, but that award was not weighty. The big prizes were focused on Game of the Year and Developer of the Year.
To secure these awards, the studio’s planners worked tirelessly to contribute to their own studio and aimed to put forth a more substantial work at this time.
Huang Ping was all in as well.
Under the pressure given by Fang Cheng, he led the planners to openly work overtime, and then the group of planners was rewarded with a month’s vacation, which they would take once the game released.
Their fierce dedication left Wang Xiaoying speechless, and she couldn’t help but marvel that a man’s spirit never ages and that at any time, one is willing to give one’s all for a dream.
Although she knew the quality of the game was perfect, Wang Xiaoying was still on edge.
There wasn’t much of a foundation for extreme sports in the country; this hobby was quite niche, and people didn’t have extra lives to spend.
If the game’s release numbers didn’t meet expectations, the ‘paid posters’ would swarm in immediately and take a bite out of them.
Some unscrupulous self-media wouldn’t mind coming over to snatch a piece of the pie either, after all, no matter how nicely they spoke now, they would do anything for traffic.
In anxious waiting, Wang Xiaoying arrived at the moment of destiny.
At nine o’clock in the morning, the game was released on time.
From her backend, she saw the sales numbers for the game skyrocketing the moment it was released, as the player community began to spontaneously make purchases and play. Fang Cheng Studio’s good reputation and excellent forum operations had made almost every game enthusiast aware of the game, prompting them to willingly open their wallets and take the game home.
The bar representing sales kept on rising, and in the blink of an eye, the game sales were counted in ten thousands. The horrifying numbers were beyond the reach of many game studios in their entire lifetimes, also symbolizing the unshakeable status of Fang Cheng Studio’s game in the hearts of the players.
Without needing to hire paid posters for marketing, nor resorting to data fabrication, the first hour’s sales already broke through four hundred thousand, and this was still during working hours.
The continuously rising data occupied Wang Xiaoying’s entire day. She tensely watched the numbers on the screen as they steadily approached her psychological expectations, then boldly leaped past them, and then made a huge jump.
Only around noon did the growth rate of game sales slightly slow down. However, in the evening, the numbers rose again, finally locking in at three million four hundred and two thousand sets.
Seeing this achievement, Wang Xiaoying breathed a sigh of relief.
Wiping the sweat off her forehead, the stone in her heart finally landed.
This result, at this point in time, was highly impressive, and even more so in the annals of gaming history.
However, the first day typically reflected the players’ recognition of the game creators; there are countless games with dazzling initial sales that plummeted thereafter.
Fortunately, the game’s subsequent performance did not disappoint her.
The very next day happened to be the weekend, so its performance was even better than the first day.
The data showing three million six hundred and forty thousand had Wang Xiaoying dancing with excitement, while players’ feedback let her know that the game had earned their recognition.
[Exciting!]
[Truly thrilling, if my game capsule hadn’t detected my rapid heartbeat and forced me offline, I could play nonstop.]
[Before playing: What storms haven’t I seen?]
[After playing: Ah, Jin, you really created a storm!]
[Free solo climbing is so cool, I declare, free solo climbing First Under Heaven!]
[Bluffing! Parkour across high buildings is the true King!]

[Stop arguing, haven’t you guys been racing on the streets? That feeling of speed is completely addictive.]
[Speaking of the feeling of speed, how can we leave out the 3D maneuver gear! Go, go, go!]
[Mountain downhill is the most thrilling! On one side is a cliff, on the other side, also a cliff, with just a narrow path in between, doesn’t that thrill you?]
[I still prefer being a Clown in the circus.]
——[What, you can be a Clown? I want to go walk the tightrope and jump through fire hoops too!]
——[Neither of the two tasks you mentioned are the Clown’s job!]
One exciting activity after another was unearthed by the players, with new schemes to enjoy every second, and the simultaneous online numbers reached four million during the weekend. These frightening figures amazed people but made sense once they knew it was a Fang Cheng Studio game.
Everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before Fang Cheng Studio reached this level, but no one expected it to happen so quickly.
This small game studio, just over two years old, had finally grown into a star that caught everyone’s attention, allowing the players of Huaxia to proudly say, “We also have our own outstanding game studio.”
On Monday, Wang Xiaoying was so excited she hadn’t slept well for two days.
With dark circles under her eyes, brimming with bloodshot, she still rushed into the studio excitedly and said to Fang Cheng, who was tending his Spirit Grass, “Boss, sixteen million.”
“Oh. Did you work overtime this weekend? Please go fill out a form with Xu Qingling, then you don’t need to come in again.”
“You mean I should take time off, right? Got it~”
Watching Wang Xiaoying hum a tune as she left, Fang Cheng continued trimming his Spirit Grass.
This world was too crazy.
The only things that might never betray him were perhaps only the Spirit Grasses before him.
