Cup Head Success
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the first International Game Exhibition of the Magic Capital ended perfectly.
However, the interest of the players obviously did not subside because of this, and it can still be seen everywhere on the Internet.
Everyone had a heated discussion about this exhibition.
Seeing this, the organizer, Misty Asgard, did not waste the heat, and launched a poll to ask the players which games they were most looking forward to playing at the fair.
Although there is no prize in this vote, let alone the first place in the vote, it can be sold immediately, but players still participate.
Looking around, the top five games were all gigantic, and players were not surprised by this.
However, the ninth rank game is what the players are talking about, as this game is exactly Cup Head by King Maxim.
A fully developed game by an individual has surpassed many famous gaming companies and star game designers, ranking ninth in popularity.
If not for the previous games, the background was very rich, otherwise, it might even be that they would have been pulled down by Cup Head.
Shortly after voting ended, the official version of Cup Head was released on the steampunk gaming platform and is still exclusive.
By the time the game was released, many players had logged onto the Steam Friends gaming platform, which caused the platform to experience an obvious freeze.
After Punk learned of the situation, he immediately patted 5,000 Dollars on the programmer's brother's desk, saying that if he could resolve the stuck situation within half an hour, his money would be taken away.
The programmer's sister immediately turned on her weapon, her eyes seemed to glow with a red light and it only took her 20 minutes to return the platform to normal.
After solving the problem, the programmer's brother collapsed on the chair, but he did not forget to put five thousand dollars into his pocket, and he laughed from time to time, which made people a little worried.
After returning to normal, Punk oversaw Cuphead's sales all the time.
One hundred thousand copies per hour.
150,000 copies in two hours.
180,000 copies in three hours.
…
Twenty-four hours later, Cuphead's sales were counted, with a total of 300,000 copies sold.
You should know that after much consideration, Maxim raised the price of Cuphead to 60 Dollars per coffee.
That is, in just one day, Cuphead's revenue reached 18 million.
It's only the first day, according to this trend, it's not impossible for Cup Head to sell a million copies a month.
After getting the data, Punk immediately called Maxim.
"Brother Max, Cuphead's sales exceeded 300,000 in 24 hours. You've made it again!"
Maxim, who had just returned home, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Really! That's very nice."
This data was indeed enough to make Maxim happy, but it was still far from enough to make him dance.
Hearing Maxim's tone, Punk also calmed down a little, not as happy as he had imagined.
He secretly says that he is still a little impatient, he is in his thirties and he is not as stable as Maxim.
"Brother Max, you are so confident! I'm not surprised at all" Punk said with a smile.
"Ah... Thats okay! Because I was too excited during Ghost Fear. With experience, I need to be calmer than the first time."
"Brother Max, you're humble!" Punk laughed, and then asked again, "Brother Max, what are your plans for the future?"
"I plan to retire from the house I'm renting now and move to the magical capital" Maxim said.
She was an orphan and the house she lived in was a contract, so she had nothing to miss at all.
As an international metropolis, Magic City has a higher development space and tolerance than where it currently lives.
Not to mention, many gaming companies at home and abroad are operating in the magic capital.
Almost all of the large-scale exhibitions were basically held in the magic capital.
If Maxim moved to the magic capital, many things would be easier to do.
It is worth mentioning that in order to retain Maxim, Punk has signed a contract with Maxim.
In the future, as long as Maxim games are released on the steampunk gaming platform and sold exclusively, the commission will be reduced to 10%, and the maximum resource tilt will be enjoyed.
In the contract, there are no difficult requirements, Maxim does not have to be tied to the steampunk game platform, which gives Maxim great freedom.
this way, the steampunk gaming platform will make a lot of money, Punk feels that it is all worth it.
As long as he has a good relationship with Maxim, there will be more and more good games that can be enjoyed exclusively on the steampunk platform in the future.
Not to mention, just call it Cup Head which has just been released has made Punk taste sweet.
Hearing that Max was about to move to Magic Capital, Punk was also very happy, after solving the distance problem, it was easier to ask questions.
Thinking of this, Punk said, "Brother Max, let me ask you about the house. I happen to have a friend who is a real estate agent, so I will definitely choose a nice house for you."
"Sister Punk, sorry to bother you. But for now, I can only rent, and I can't buy a house."
Maxim intended to stay in the magic city center, but with the housing price in the magic city, even if his current savings were around 10 million, it might not be enough to buy the house he liked.
"Don't worry, leave it to my brother, I'll definitely handle this for you."
"OK."
After the two chatted for a while, Max hung up the phone and started packing up, preparing to leave the house and head to the magic capital.
At the same time, the majority of players suffer the happiness that Cuphead brings them.
"How can a piranha jump out of this place!” Meimei, who was doing a live broadcast, almost dropped his grip.
sister Meimei, just give up your skills!
the Adjoining Broadcast started slower than you, and now it's progressing faster than you.
yep! It's not too late to get a refund!"
When he saw the barrage of urging him to return the money, Meimei slammed the table and said, "I'll convey my words here today, whoever asked me to return the money again, I'll shut him up for a month. Brother Max's game is so much fun. It's my own fault that I can't get through it and I'll never give it back!"
Although Meimei's words were obviously impure, he really felt that Cuphead was a very fun game.
Although Cuphead was not at all scary, the challenge was not inferior to Ghost Fear or even worse.
Do not look at the retro style of Cuphead, but the difficulty of the game is that Meimei has played it and among all the horizontal shooting games, it is the most difficult.
And the difficulty of the game is not only to accumulate the number of monsters, or make the screen full of bullets, increasing the difficulty without thinking.
Be it hordes or boss attack methods, there are rules and rhythms.
Players need to adapt to this kind of laws and rhythms, In other words, in addition to buying skills and props for Cuphead to strengthen the game's character, players themselves must also grow up.
If the reaction ability is not good, just use memory, many places rely on the back panel, and you can still pass the level.
Therefore, in the process of the game, even if the player is killed by the boss, there is always a feeling that I can succeed next time.
But many times, players will make mistakes and get killed, or get killed by the boss's new moves.
When the players reacted, it was too early for the return time of the game, even if they were upset, they could only play hard.
But I must say that when a player beats a boss who has been stuck for a long time, a sense of accomplishment and refreshment is irreplaceable for similar games.
Half an hour later, Meimei finally defeated the two frog bosses.
He jumps up with "Aw" in excitement, but he forgets that he's still wearing headphones, not only tearing off the headphone cord, but also dropping something on the table, and he's in a hurry.
At the same time, Maxim, who was drinking water at home, heard the sound of the system in his mind.
