The next day, when Gabe woke up, the first thing he did was pick up his cell phone to look at the Residual Devil stats.
[Residual Devil: Village]
[Downloads: 981]
[Average Play Ti: 2 Hours.]
[Accumulated Mana: 1,962]
Looking at the amount of Downloads and Accumulated Mana in the ga, Gabe had a huge smile on his face!
In just one day he had earned the equivalent of what he would have spent on the ga in 20 days! If he converted that Mana into his own Mana, despite having to convert 100 Units of Mana from the ga to 1 Unit of Mana for himself, he could still receive almost 20 Units of Mana, increasing his total Mana by 20%! This was a very large increase, and because of this, many Developers just ignored improving their gas and absorbed the Mana completely.
But despite being tempted by the idea of absorbing it into himself, Gabe decided not to and used the Mana to continue developing Resident Evil. The biggest factor for him receiving only 2 Mana Units for each player was that players could only play for an average of 2 Hours, as the ga had a maximum of 1 Hour of content, i.e. the average player played the ga 2 tis, or it took 2x as long to fully explore the village.
Of course, this was on top of the fact that most Rank F players only had 2 Mana Units, so it would be impossible for them to play much longer than that. The players who played for 3 hours were the players who really enjoyed the ga, to the point where when they finished playing, they started to ditate to recover Mana, and as soon as they had Mana available they would go back to the ga and play again.
Gabe imagined that the average ga hours per Download for the Demo would be around 4 Mana Units, with average players who only played the ga 1 or 2 tis. There would also be players who realized that training was much more effective in this ga by playing the next day for another 2 hours, and then there would probably be those Try Hard players who would have an average of 6 hours of play.
So leaving the average ga total at 4 hours for each download (a fantastic number for a ga with only 1 hour of content), Gabe figured if he added more play ti, it would make the average play ti skyrocket through the roof. And just like in his previous world there would also be crazy people who played so gas thousands of hours. If he developed Residual Devil: Village well, that would also be possible in this world!
Before going to sleep, last night Gabe had already realized that so players had found the shotgun he left hidden in the village, and many were already managing to reach the end of the Demo without even being hurt by any of the zombies.
What made the ga even better known was that when players experienced the story a second ti, they realized that it was much easier to hit the heads of monsters - that is, the firearm training in this ga was very effective! It was to the point that 1 hour of training in Residual Devil was more efficient than several days of training in other gas! The biggest drawback was that the ga only had 1 hour of content, and even if they played the ga a second ti, they wouldn't get as much improvent as they did the first ti. But that was already sothing Gabe had imagined would happen.
Even though the ga only had 1 hour of content, Residual Devil still received almost 1k downloads on the first day, jumping from the last place in the ranking of the University contest, to the 5th place! The number one spot was still Spear Training, with 2743 Downloads, but seeing how fast Residual Devil was catching up, Gabe understood that it was only a matter of ti before the ga took the number one spot!
So with the 100 Mana Units he had, and the nearly 2,000 Mana Units the ga had available for him to use, Gabe intended to push Residual Devil's developnt forward by 20 days, doing everything today. Thus relying on word of Mouth Marketing from players to increase downloads, especially when they saw new content coming to the ga, Gabe wasn't worried about the amount of Mana he would spend. If he added another 2 hours of content, the ga's 1,000 downloads would already recover all the Mana he spent on the ga, not counting the new players who would experience this or players who would play the ga again.
But before developing the ga, Gabe decided to make sothing even more important: a trailer!
As the other ga pages didn't have trailers other than scattered screenshots, Gabe thought that sothing like this wasn't possible to do, but upon reading Viewers' comnts on Amoura's livestream, Gabe realized that this sort of thing was possible! So, to increase downloads even more, Gabe decided to make an Animated Trailer to attract viewers' attention for this ga when they landed on the sales store page and convert most of them to players.
Fortunately, most of the things needed for the trailer were already done, like the Zombie Lycan, the Zombie Uriah, the humans, leaving him to just make the vampires, horses, and the maps. So having all the resources needed for the Trailer, Gabe started dedicating himself entirely to making it, ignoring everything around him.
Unbeknownst to Gabe, despite Resident Evil: Village Downloads still only being at 1,000, the ga was already doing quite well. For bored Players, watching Livestreams was one of the great ways for them to pass their boredom, being able to just relax and have fun while watching soone they liked train in gas.
Eric was one of those players. Even though he had recently beco an E Rank Player, he still followed so F Rank players who were livestreaming, and after participating in a real-world mission for a few weeks, today was officially his first day off.
With interest, Eric opened the livestream site to look for sothing interesting to watch, and was surprised that among the Rank F strears he followed, there were at least 8 Strears who were playing a ga called Residual Devil: Village. He had never heard of this ga, so out of curiosity, Eric hopped on the livestream that had the most viewers to see what ga it was.
That livestream was from Amoura, a cute red-haired girl who Eric had started following because of her looks. Every now and then he would make so donations to try to attract her attention, as there were only 100 to 200 viewers when he started following her, but to his surprise, on her most recent livestream there were 723 people!
"What happened to Amoura in such a short ti for her to grow so much? Did so famous strear bring her viewers?" Eric wondered, confused.
[I swear to you, in my marksmanship test, while before I managed to score 630 points, after playing Resident Evil yesterday I managed to raise my points to 700! Do you know how long I would have to train to get my points up that much? At least another two weeks!] Amoura said excitedly as she showed off her long red hair.
Eric was montarily entranced as he stared at her, until he realized what she'd said.
"What do you an?! Amoura is already scoring 700 points on the marksmanship test? I'm still at 810 points and I'm already a Rank E Player!" Eric was shocked as he went to check out the marksmanship test site.
Since he was an old viewer of hers, he was lucky enough to get her to accept his friend request, so he could see her Ranking by being on her friend list. Eric was shocked to see that Amoura had increased her score by 70 points yesterday. At that rate, in a week she could apply to participate in a Rank E quest!
"She said she got that much better while playing this ga called Resident Evil that everyone else is playing?" Eric wondered confused.
Looking back at Amoura's livestream, Eric read the comnts and was even more shocked.
[I'm not even a firearms focused player, but after playing Resident Evil I decided to take a marksmanship test too, and guess what? On my first attempt I got 300 Points! Hahaha, I'm a genius marksman and I kept wasting my talent on a stupid sword!]
[300 Points? I managed to score 315 Points and I had never held a gun in my life! Even though Resident Evil is so scary, I'm still willing to play for another 3 hours today after I finish ditating. If I could stand it I'd like to play for 10 hours even if I had to repeat the story 10 tis in a row!]
[Damn, if the story was longer, I think it would be less tireso to repeat this…]
[Hey, Amour! Developer called EA has updated the Residual Devil page, show us!]
When this comnt appeared, Amoura who was reading the comnts quickly opened the Resident Evil store page and started looking for the changes.
Right off the bat, the first thing she saw was a large ssage written above the ga's Synopsis.
[Ga Demo: Available!]
[Ga Trailer: In Developnt. Estimated Ti - 127 Minutes.]
[Chapter 01: In Developnt. Estimated ti - 23 hours.]
[Chapter 02: In Developnt. Estimated ti - ????]
When Amoura saw that, she was shocked!
"Tomorrow Resident Evil will release a new chapter?! What does that an?!" she said excitedly.
[I think the Developer will release more story for this ga so ti tomorrow!]
[Damn, he's not going to make another ga?]
[I thought it was more profitable for developers to make more gas instead of focusing on just one ga?]
[I think he's doing this for us! He must have seen that we liked the ga so much that he decided to make more story for the ga, even if it's not that profitable for him!]
[What is the na of the Developer, I have to thank him, the story he made is so good!]
[His na is EA!]
[Hey guys, what's the Ga Trailer? Hasn't he already released so explanatory images?]
[I do not know either…]
[I think it's like a movie trailer! Heck, EA is going to spend Mana just to make a trailer for the ga, wouldn't it be better for him to just absorb that Mana for himself?]
[I don't know, the trailer will be available in 2 hours, we can wait and see.]
Amoura also saw that the trailer would be available in 2 hours and decided not to play Resident Evil for the ti being. She said that she would like to watch the trailer first and see if it could have any impact when she cos to play before she would play it.
Viewers thought it was a good idea and they also decided to do the sa thing.
Suddenly, the amount of players online in Residual Devil decreased a little, but unbeknownst to Gabe, the amount of new people discovering the ga because of the Hype and the curiosity of viewers for its trailer was increasing a lot.
Even Eric, who was a Rank E Player was curious about this, deciding to watch Amoura's live stream to find out what it was all about and why this ga was doing so well.
