Chapter 403: Promotion
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
What kind of ga would be best?
Li Dong first thought of an action fighting ga.
Its requirents included a smooth sense of impact, a good sense of strength, and near-real collision damage.
The size of the ga should be about 100 million, and it should be a single console with a download fee of 10 yuan per download.
In truth, Eastern Jupiter also had a ga industry, but it was on a small scale. There were very few masterpieces which could be considered excellent. On the other hand, if he produced a ga with good sales, there would be a trend of nurous copycats, leading to a glut of near-identical gas.
But after all, they were only NPC, albeit highly intelligent ones. Even if they were 99.9% similar to a real human, as long as they lacked that 0.1% of creativity and inspiration, their world would remain highly tedious and boring.
Hence, Li Dong strongly believed that his ga would beco successful, because things like creativity and inspiration were never lacking in reality.
...
About a month later.
Li Dong purchased a set of source code for a ga on the internet from the real world, and after so slight modifications, his ga was successfully created.
The na was The Brave Road of A Hero In An Alternate World.
The ga had a total of nine regular levels and three hidden levels. Players would have to deal with up to nine bosses and could choose single or double pass mode. They would constantly improve their ranks and skills and upgrade their equipnt in the process of leveling up..... The players would get stronger and stronger.
Moreover, there was a function that allowed the player to save their ga data anyti.
There was also a rich variety of hidden and collectible elents.
Li Dong tried the ga a few tis and ca to the conclusion that it was a boring ga for killing ti.
Of course, it was very boring for him. But for Eastern Jupiter, which had an undeveloped ga industry, there would be many aspects of the ga that were fun and interesting. Here, it could be considered a fun sort of ga.
Li Dong imdiately put it in the store of each gaming website, hoping to attract players to download it.
However, after three days, the ga had sold a total of 317 copies. After subtracting the store commission rate of 50%, Li Dong only earned $1,585 for himself.
Obviously, this could not satisfy his needs.
“No matter how good a product is, if it’s unknown, it will remain unknown. Seems like I have to advertise and market this ga.”
...
Xihai No. 3 High School.
After class.
Li Dong took out his mobile phone and walked to the center of the row, where there was a group of girls.
“Denen, Nishihara, Ishinaka, and Shangguan, please excuse my presumptuousness. I’ve been working on a ga recently and I believe you all know that I’ve finished it now. But I don’t know if it is fun. Only players of the ga can give the answer, so...
“Can you be my players and trial the ga I made?” Li Dong said.
“Ryu, your ga is done?”
Satoshi was very surprised. It was completed, and so quickly at that?
“Touki, I am very interested in your ga. Please let try.” Nishihara Kaori reached out for the phone.
“I’ll give it to Satoshi first. She probably wants to play it more.”
Li Dong handed the mobile phone to Denen Satoshi. After all, she was his staunchest supporter.
Nishihara Kaori snatched her hand back and glared at him as her face swelled up.
“However, if you want to experience it right away, you can search for The Brave Road of A Hero In An Alternate World in the ga stores and download it to your mobile phone for $10. Of course, if you don’t want to spend any money, you can wait for Satoshi to be done.”
“Only $10?”
Shangguan Feifei quickly found the ga and clicked to pay for the purchase. “I’ll just take it as treating you to the simplest al.”
“I’ve downloaded it, too.”
“How’s the ga made by Touki?”
Nishihara Kaori and Ishinaka i paid for the download of the ga and tapped the button to start playing. Soon after, they began to exclaim.
“Wow, the scenes and style of the ga are so good. Did you really do this, Touki?”
“I killed a small demon and found so money and materials.”
“Interesting! This ga is very interesting!”
“I didn’t think that Touki could make such a great ga.”
The yelling of these girls caught the attention of other students in the class.
“Why don’t you guys try playing the ga I made?”
“It’s very smooth and the fights are explosive. Many of the combat moves were created via trial and error. The moves are very formidable and powerful.”
“It can be downloaded for $10, everyone. Let’s support it.”
Li Dong did not give up on this precious opportunity to market his product; he advertised and sold his ga to his classmates.
After putting in so effort during the ten-minute break between classes, he sold more than 30 copies of his ga, and the response was generally very good.
“This ga is so fun! Touki, you are a genius.”
“The experience and feel when I deliver a hit is very enjoyable.”
“This is the first ti I played such an exciting combat ga. Only Touki, the King of Underground Fighting, could achieve this.”
“Touki, please accept as your disciple, let follow you and learn sothing. Sothing like your fighting techniques that will ensure that one is never bullied, or how to make fun combat gas. Please teach one of these!”
“Although I am a girl, I think that Touki’s ga is really good.”
“I don’t really like all that fighting and killing, Touki. Can you do another ga that girls will fall in love with?”
“...”
From the chatter surrounding him, Li Dong could tell that most of it was positive.
He sighed with relief. This sort of praise that ca straight from the mouth must be real. The ga The Brave Road of A Hero In An Alternate World had good market potential.
He just had to increase the intensity of his promotions.
However, Li Dong did not have much in the way money or resources. The promotion thod which he adopted was very simple. He would make full use of the resources around him.
He would let his classmates help to recomnd and promote the product.
Then, it would be spread to the whole school.
After which, thousands of students would help to advertise and popularise it outside of the school.
Also, a major event was currently being held: the city’s annual high school basketball championship, held in the capital of Shengjing. The event had already started with a bang. He had joined the school basketball team and had beco the main player alongside the captain, Morido Shenli. Li Dong had the opportunity to go to each high school to participate in competitions. As they won one ga after another, he also promoted the ga that he made.
Such a scene was undoubtedly embarrassing: his victory was a total crushing of the opponent’s team, yet he then remained on their ho turf at the end of the match, desperately promoting his own ga in the hopes that basketball fans attending the away-ga would pay for the download.
For fans who had co to attend the ga, this was a provocation, an insult—this was asking for a beating!
Even so, Li Dong needed a lot of money, and so he poured all his energy into publicizing the ga. With every violent slam dunk on the court, he would scream, “Play The Brave Road of A Hero In An Alternate World, and you’ll be able to slam dunk like !”
With this shaless promotion, coupled with a good word-of-mouth reputation from the ga’s players, his success was brewing.
The final result was remarkable.
Two weeks later, the ga The Brave Road of A Hero In An Alternate World had been downloaded more than 100,000 tis.
Li Dong had earned a total of $500,000 for himself.
