The video of Chen Mo livestreaming outlast in the middle of the night was quickly posted online, and many viewers who didn’t dare to watch the livestream felt the sa way: How co Chen Mo’s outlast didn’t seem scary at all?
This gave many players who had never played outlast the wrong impression that the ga was really simple.
As a result, many players were at ease and tried the ga. As for the ending ... Of course, they were still scared to death ...
However, Chen Mo’s live streaming of outlast did indeed increase the sales of the ga. Many players who didn’t know about the horror ga or didn’t dare to buy it were happy to add one more VR pod to their ga.
Many people thought that Chen Mo’s stream would spoil the fun of outlast, but it didn ‘t.
Chen Mo’s stream was on the third day of the ga’s release. Most of the players had already cleared outlast by this ti, since the ga was less than two hours long. No matter how bad a player was at directions, they would only need four to five hours to clear easy difficulty.
Even if Chen Mo didn’t stream, there would be other players who loved horror gas making live comntary, ga-clearing videos, and ga-clearing strategies. Chen Mo’s stream wouldn’t affect their second creation at all.
Moreover, even though Chen Mo had already shown the players the correct way to clear the crazy difficulty, the other players would still pee their pants in fear.
If you don’t believe , you can download outlast and try it out.
In just three days, outlast had sold more than 30000 copies. As a horror ga with an extrely small audience, the sales were impressive.
Outlast was priced at 688 RMB, which was considered average among VR gas. Outlast didn’t have a lot of investnts, nor did it take a long ti to develop. After all, in Chen Mo’s previous life, outlast was a low budget indie ga with less than twenty people in the entire production team. It wasn’t too difficult for Chen Mo to port it to VR, it was just an additional investnt.
On Thunderbolt gaming platform, outlast had an unexpectedly high rating of 9.4.
Most players felt that this was a horror ga that was scary enough. If there was only one word to describe it, it would be scary!
......
As for how scary it was? Different people had different views, such as the night vision of the DV camcorder, the playstyle of the non-combat system, the background and plot of the story, the realistic VR ga experience, and so on. All of these were important elents to enhance the sense of horror.
After the popularity of outlast, not only VR players, but also players on PC and mobile platforms learned about the ga through livestreaming and videos.
The impact of outlast had far exceeded the sales of the ga.
……
In the experience store, Chen Mo was looking at the schedule of the S1 finals and other related information that Yan Huang had sent.
When Chen Mo livestread outlast, he had actually used the fear filter, otherwise he wouldn’t have been so calm. Even though the ga designers knew the layout of the levels and how to farm monsters like the back of their hands, it was still scary when they actually started playing.
Just like many players, even if they had cleared the easy difficulty and were ntally prepared for the respawn rate of the various monsters and high-level plots, they would still panic if they played the ga a second ti. This was an instinctive reaction.
Luckily, the system had a fear masking device, otherwise Chen Mo wouldn’t have dared to do the crazy difficulty and he wouldn’t have been able to act so cool.
As he was reading, his phone rang.
Chen Mo saw that it was from Qiao Hua and quickly picked it up,””Minister Qiao?”
“Chen Mo,” Qiao Hua’s voice ca from the other end,”I heard that outlast’s sales are good. Congratulations.”
“It’s all thanks to Minister Qiao and Chairman Zhang that outlast passed the vetting process,” Chen Mo quickly said.”That’s why the players are able to play it.”
Qiao Hua chuckled.”By the way, I’m calling to tell you sothing. The reviews for outlast are pretty good, so you don’t have to worry. It’s not going to be taken down.”
“Also, the ga committee’s opinion on outlast is more or less the sa. This is a successful attempt in the VR industry for dostic gas. In the future, similar thes will be more relaxed, which is good news.”
“Yes,” Chen Zhao said.”It’s indeed good news.”
“However,” Qiao Hua’s tone changed.”This ga has its risks. You have to keep an eye on that.” I’ll summarize my experience. If you want to develop a similar ga in the future, it’s best to give a heads up first like this ti. ”
Chen Mo nodded,”don’t worry, I will.”
After hanging up, Chen Zhao was relieved.
In fact, horror gas weren’t that scary. Many people were overly worried about horror gas, mainly because of their perceptions. At least, from the news, they had heard of many people dying from gaming, but very few people were scared to death from playing horror gas.
As long as a normal adult didn’t have heart disease or high blood pressure and was healthy, it wouldn’t be a big deal to be exposed to so horror elents. At most, they would quit the ga.
Everyone knew how brave they were, not to ntion that Chen Mo had made a lot of preventive asures for the VR version of outlast, so there shouldn’t be any problems.
With outlast’s experience, Chen Mo would be more confident in making other gas in the future. After all, the parallel world’s videoga industry was completely different from his previous world, and so rules needed to be slowly explored.
However, Chen Mo didn’t have the ti to pay attention to outlast’s follow-up, as League of Legends’s S1 World Championship was about to start.
……
As the day of the competition drew closer, a lot of information regarding the finals was constantly being revealed, including the venue, the schedule, the information of the participating teams, and so on.
The most exciting thing for the players was the prize pool of this competition.
As the official of League of Legends, Chen Mo announced that the base prize of the prize pool for the S1 World Finals was 40 million RMB. The champion team would receive 20 million RMB, the second runner-up Team 10 million, and the top four, top eight, and top sixteen teams would all receive a prize.
In other words, even if a foreign team was eliminated in the first round of S1, they would still receive a reward of 200000.
If converted to dollars, the total prize pool this ti was nearly 7 million dollars!
Of course, because S1 was an invitation-based ga, the division of the prize pool might seem a little strange. Many people might wonder why a team that didn’t make it out of the group stage could get 200000 Yuan in prize money even if they didn’t win a single ga.
This was mainly for the future. After League of Legends went global, every spot in the world Finals would have to cross many levels to get it. Compared to the efforts of these professional teams to get a spot in the S League, the 200000 Yuan prize money was nothing at all. It could be regarded as a consolation prize.
Not only that, Chen Mo also announced that the champion’s blade, nie ruiwen, would be released during the finals. Anyone who bought the skin would receive a commorative profile picture of the S1 World Finals, and 50% of the profits from the skin would go to the prize pool of the world Finals.
