In the next few days, Yang Chen and Wang Yaliang packed some things, booked two high-speed rail tickets, and left Jiang City to return to their hometown.

The online firestorm about "The Binding of Isaac" is still burning. Under the attention of people in the gaming industry, the sales of "The Binding of Isaac" have continued to grow, and it has not been listed on the official game platform's daily sales list at all.

It means to fall down.

The sales volume on the tenth day of release was 53,140 copies, the sales volume on the eleventh day of release was 49,715 copies, the sales volume on the twelfth day of release was 51,336 copies...

When Yang Chen and Wang Yaliang talked about their experiences in Jiang City after dinner, their parents looked at them with surprise.

Game Star released the latest independent game sales list for April, with "Chrono Wheel" ranking second, and "The Binding of Isaac" ranking first.

All game practitioners are shocked. How long has it been since there has been an independent game of this level?

It’s not that critical to reach the top of the independent game sales list in April. The key is that “The Binding of Isaac” only took half a month, and its sales volume was 520,000 copies, while the second-ranked “Chrono Wheel”

》 is 500,000 copies.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is not about defeat at all, but about being crushed.

If both games were put on the same starting line, "Chrono Wheel" would definitely be crushed. Even with NetDragon's publicity and the strong development lineup of Lin Jiayi and Chang'an Studio, today's "Chrono Wheel"

》There is no popularity anymore.

However, "The Binding of Isaac" still maintains a very high popularity. It is not only the live broadcast platform but also the video platform and social platform. Countless players are discussing the game.

The combination of various props makes players enjoy entering the familiar yet unfamiliar dungeon again and again.

Even though he has cleared the level countless times.

…………

Inside Chang'an Studio, a middle-aged man in his early thirties wearing glasses looked at a self-media game article on the computer screen in front of him and frowned unconsciously.

'Lin Jiayi's Waterloo, "The Wheel of Time" was bombarded by "The Binding of Isaac"!'

He is one of the major shareholders of Chang'an Studio, and is also the chief planner of "The Wheel of Time" Lin Jiayi.

"Zhuo Qing asked someone to contact this self-media company and ask them to delete the article and make up some sensational titles and content every day." Lin Jiayi frowned and said to Zhuo Qing, who was the plot planner of Chang'an Studio.

.

"Isn't that what these self-media are like? Just don't read them. They don't get much attention anyway." Zhuo Qing smiled, paused and said, "But Lao Lin, what do you think of that "The Binding of Isaac"?"

"It's very interesting. I have played the game for more than 30 hours in the past few days and completed it more than a dozen times." Although he is a competitor, Lin Jiayi still gave a very good evaluation.

"In the next game, we will also add Isaac's random elements, what do you think?" Zhuo Qing suggested.

"No problem, although it is complicated, it is not difficult. The previous random elements created the seed code, but in order to maintain true randomness, all valid codes will appear randomly, which may even lead to too many variables in the end, and in Isaac

Inside, the seed function generates fixed random numbers, and then the random numbers determine the game layout. This can be said to be a new innovation." Lin Jiayi looked at Zhuo Qing and gave a good evaluation.

Just like any food with a fishy smell, the first batch of people ate it, whether it was steamed or braised, it had a fishy smell that was difficult to eat, and gradually everyone stopped eating it.

But later, someone discovered that using ginger can remove the fishy smell, and it tastes quite good when cooked, so people will use this ingredient to cook dishes again.

There is no doubt that the emergence of "The Binding of Isaac" points out a clear path for the genre of random element games.

It turns out that this is how a game with random elements should be done!

Countless game designers who have studied "The Binding of Isaac" showed expressions of sudden realization.

…………

After Yang Chen and Wang Yaliang bought a house in their hometown for about 800,000 yuan, Yang Chen and Wang Yaliang returned to the rental house in Jiang City.

night

Wang Yaliang, who was lying on the bed in his pajamas, was moving his legs back and forth on the quilt. He was browsing the web with his mobile phone in his hand. Suddenly he noticed something. He got up from the bed and ran to the toilet. Yang Chen was still taking a shower: "Someone is copying us."

game!"

Yang Chen, who had just rinsed off the shower gel on his body in the toilet and was wiping himself, was startled by Wang Yaliang who broke in. Before he could ask, he saw her handing the phone to him with an indignant look: "Ah Chen

, our game has been copied!"

Hearing this, Yang Chen couldn't help but be speechless for a while. He thought something was wrong.

"It's normal. Everyone can learn from the gameplay. If we have to pursue it, the random gameplay has already appeared in the ancient game era more than 20 years ago. As long as it is not art, the source code has unique elements, it is basically

It does not constitute plagiarism." Yang Chen said while wiping his body. He was very open-minded about this point.

Nowadays, the official laws for the game industry have been introduced, and the protection of property rights has been done well enough. At least there will be a period of protection to protect such independent games.

Instead of just like the world in dream memory, when a creative game comes out, some pig farmers and goose farmers can copy it from beginning to end for you.

"But this is too shameless!" After hearing Yang Chen's explanation, Wang Yaliang was still very angry.

"Show me." Yang Chen took the phone from Wang Yaliang's hand and saw a piece of soft advertising from self-media.

The other party develops games for the computer platform.

As for the game platform, it is similar to Dream Memory World. In addition to the PC platform, there are also game console platforms. However, thanks to the laws related to games, the mainstream is still on the PC platform, but there is also a market for console platforms.

But the difference is that the console platform is not dominated by three companies like in Dream Memory. In reality, there are specialized game console developers abroad, and there are console game developers in China, and they are also state-owned enterprises.

As for VR games, although many manufacturers on the market have begun to produce them, such as the three major ones, due to cost and configuration issues, they are basically just testing the waters.

Putting on his pajamas, Yang Chen sat in front of the computer and opened the official game platform to search for the other party's games.

Yang Chen took a look at the distribution company and the production company, a company called Zhuzhu Interactive Entertainment. Yang Chen had never heard of the name of this company in his mind. It was probably a third-rate small company.

The gameplay routine is similar to that of "The Binding of Isaac", with random elements and dungeon shooting elements. And unlike "The Binding of Isaac" which sells for 58 yuan, this dungeon shooting game is free.

And it also adds so-called synthetic features and enhanced features.

"It's just a third-rate gold-earning mobile game. It doesn't pose a threat to us. It won't be long before it may be included in the recommended blacklist by the official game platform." After playing for about ten minutes, Yang Chen shook his head lightly.

He said with concern.

Yang Chen sentenced this game to death in his heart.
Chapter completed!
