Chapter 177: Chapter 134: Tianba Manor Completed (Part 2)
Finally, the UP master concluded: "In the entire history of gaming, there probably isn’t a more legendary community than Tianba Manor."
Isn’t that obvious!
Other gas don’t sell houses! Even if they did, they wouldn’t sell pre-sale properties! Even if they sold pre-sale properties, the construction period couldn’t possibly be longer than Tianba Manor’s...
All in all, Tianba Manor is indeed a uniquely legendary, hard-to-replicate "real estate" project in gaming history.
Looking at the entire industry, which ga developer would sell pre-sale properties in a ga, and drag out the handover date for so long?
Unprecedented, never to be repeated!
No wonder the players are so excited; if you bought a nearly two-and-a-half-year-old unfinished property and suddenly one day it was announced to be completed and handed over, you’d be just as thrilled.
"It’s truly a sin!"
Watching this episode, thinking of the UP master’s friend finally waiting for the handover, only to enter the ga and find the mortgage isn’t paid off, Chen Ba couldn’t help but laugh.
Simply too dramatic!
Luckily, Tianba Studio is not focused on "Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator" at the mont, otherwise these players would still be suffering.
Is Tianba Manor completely finished?
No worries! The Tianba Peach Blossom Mansion, Tianba Century City, Tianba Academy, and a bunch of new projects are waiting to be started!
Enough mortgage paynts to last a lifeti...
Without "Star Emperor," "Divine Grace Continent," and "Love Advisor Departnt" among a slew of new gas, it wouldn’t be hard to co to a conclusion.
Tianba Studio would definitely go down this path, making these players wash dishes and pay mortgages for a lifeti!
Perhaps a bit boldly!
Running out of ideas, Tianba Studio might just make sothing like "Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator 2."
Of course, that’s in a parallel world line.
At least in this main world line, Tianba Studio is thriving, not considering Living Under Soone’s Roof 2, Cold Window Study 2...
By the way.
The proposal of making sequels to old gas has been discussed internally at the studio.
"Cold Window Study Simulator" covers middle school life, "Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator" covers high school life...if given the chance, a simulation and developnt ga about "university life" may not be released in the future.
However, the idea isn’t mature.
The main problem is that "Cold Window Study" and "Living Under Soone’s Roof," these simulators, have low popularity, making a sequel a bit unappealing.
If a sequel is to be made, it should prioritize gas like "Star Emperor" or "Divine Grace Continent," which have good sales and popularity.
Besides, sequels usually have lower sales and popularity than their predecessors, which is sothing those developers living off past successes would do.
Tianba Studio is currently in a rapid developnt phase, and Chen Ba is keen on progress, not yet at a stage of resting on laurels.
So sequels shouldn’t be considered.
...
Although there was a bit of a mishap, the official version of "Love Advisor Departnt" still needs to be released, and it is the focus of the studio’s recent work.
Compared to the early access version, the official version doesn’t differ much from the ga’s core, basically just changing the label.
The price didn’t change either!
Originally wanting to increase the price, Chen Ba realized "Love Advisor Departnt" had beco the most loved marriage and dating platform among young people, and suddenly didn’t dare to raise the price.
But speaking of which.
The price in the dostic region hasn’t increased, but the price of "Love Advisor Departnt" in other regions went up quite a bit.
"Overseas regions?"
"Are there players overseas for ’Love Advisor Departnt’?" Lu asked curiously.
"Yes!"
Chen Ba laughed and explained: "Although the total number of overseas players is definitely less than in China, there are still tens of thousands..."
That’s not the point.
The point is, "Love Advisor Departnt’s" ga nature and environnt abroad are worlds apart from those in China.
How to say this...
Chinese people generally express emotions more subtly, and online channels aren’t very trustworthy.
But foreigners play more openly.
Through observing, Chen Ba noted that the gaplay of "Love Advisor Departnt," or its marriage and dating functions, in the hands of foreign players is like an "overnight fling simulator."
eting today, arranging a place, and the next day going to a hotel for a party.
It’s not surprising!
Foreigners’ understanding of gas is indeed different from what Chen Ba thought. Their attitude towards "Love Advisor Departnt" is more inclined to "socializing."
Simply put, they play this ga with the idea of making friends.
As for making friends, suddenly getting intimate? Co on! This is our unique way of socializing, don’t you think it’s cool?
"Isn’t this inappropriate?"
After hearing Ba’s description, Lu frowned and said, "ssing around like this, wouldn’t our ga turn into a hookup software?"
"I understand what you an, but let
explain first..."
Chen Ba explained: "Their gaplay is more like getting on the train first and buying the ticket afterward. First, et and get intimate, and later soak in the ga to foster feelings."
What?
Lu was quite shocked.
Can this work? Or is this the proverbial Southern oranges becoming Northern lemons due to geographical and cultural differences?
"Believe it or not, ’Love Advisor Departnt’ has matched more couples overseas than you imagine! And the success rate is higher..."
Chen Ba was quite helpless.
Despite having few foreign players, their gas have a kind of magic that brings people together.
Out of several tens of thousands of foreigners, almost a thousand couples have been matched through "Love Advisor Departnt," with even 200 couples already married on impulse.
Doesn’t sound like much?
But don’t forget, overseas there are only these tens of thousands of players. With such a small base, having such a high success rate is enough to show the magic of "Love Advisor Departnt."
Reportedly, in so countries with low birth rates, population aging, and negative new birth growths, there are calls to include "Love Advisor Departnt" in the social welfare system, encouraging everyone to play this ga.
Yes, everyone!
Any citizen reaching the legal marriage age can apply for a "Love Advisor Departnt" Cdkey, no matter if you just beca an adult or are senior, everyone can...
Of course!
The person making this call isn’t influential, nor a major influencer or opinion leader, so no one listens to them.
But this incident shows that "Love Advisor Departnt" can indeed increase marriage and birth rates for so countries and regions.
It’s truly a great rit!
The unfortunate part is, no matter how magical "Love Advisor Departnt" is, it doesn’t change the fact that it is a dating sim ga at its core.
In overseas markets, such gas don’t have much presence, as people prefer FPS gas or classic mounts and blades instead of Galgas.
"What about Neon?"
Lu suddenly thought, if Ba said Galgas aren’t popular overseas, what about in Neon, the land of two-dinsional culture?
As the region most fascinated with Galgas worldwide, there’s no way "Love Advisor Departnt" isn’t played, right?
"Of course there is!"
"Neon players are quite nurous, and many couples have been matched. This kind of dating sim ga indeed has a market."
Chen Ba couldn’t help but laugh: "The region where ’Love Advisor Departnt’ sells the best overseas must be Neon."
Neon has approximately 50,000 players.
A few hundred among them have found partners through "Love Advisor Departnt" and successfully started a relationship, which is quite an exceptional ratio.
However, there are too many similar gas over there in Neon.
Even though "Love Advisor Departnt’s" unique appeal of player-strategy-player and excellent matching chanism is strong, gaining fa is hard.
It mainly relies on word of mouth.
But the efficiency of word of mouth is too low, and it mostly spreads among male players, while females aren’t as keen to share with their friends.
This is not only true abroad.
Actually, there is also a male-dominant, female-scarce phenonon dostically, aning the number of female players is too small. Even with an excellent matchmaking chanism, what do you do when there aren’t suitable opposite genders?
