Chapter 59: Chapter 59: When Will Tianba Manor Be Ready for Handover?
The sales of "Star Emperor" are dismal.
It’s not to the point of being outrageous, but compared to the expected goals and popularity, it seems a bit low.
From early June to the end of June, the early access version of the new ga sold a total of 140,000 copies.
This sales figure does not do justice to the current popularity of the ga.
The reason for this, as analyzed by Chen Ba, is mainly due to the optimization bug that caused the "black screen crash" issue, which made so players interested but afraid to play.
To eliminate this negative impression, Tianba Studio not only issued an announcent to clarify but also made certain adjustnts and optimizations to the ga environnt.
First, two new characters were introduced: Emperor Ziyang and Kuangsha Venerable.
Then, Chen Ba and Yang Dong, along with others, worked tirelessly to create an "Arcade Entertainnt Mode with Extre Sublimation Disabled".
Afterward, they spared no effort in inviting major strears, content creators, and gaming dia to help with promotion, clarifying the false rumor that "you must have a 3090 to play this ga".
Unfortunately, the effect was minimal.
The herd ntality is frightening!
Clearly, with simple graphics settings, even an old 10-series graphics card can play normally. At most, the Extre Sublimation mode would make the ga crash and require a restart.
But as the rumor spread, it beca that if you dared play "Star Emperor" without at least a 3080, you weren’t afraid your graphics card would fry?
That’s a rumor!
If you don’t embark on the Path to Immortality and set the graphics to low, there’s no problem at all—just play the ga as usual without any impact.
By the way, Chen Ba is considering converting the new arcade mode into a "Ladder Ranking Match," while keeping the Path to Immortality’s "title acquisition" as an entertainnt mode.
There’s no choice!
Developing gas is about making money. If most players are scared off by this threshold and dare not buy and play, how can we make money?
The ranking system for the Path to Immortality will be moved to the arcade mode, which will beco entertainnt, just for achieving titles. Extre Sublimation as a "taboo" thod will probably only be seen on the Path to Immortality in the future.
At least not in competitions!
To attract a batch of new players to "Star Emperor" while stabilizing the existing base, Chen Ba decided to hold an online competition.
Players can sign up in the ga.
At the designated ti, a special competition mode can be unlocked, matching opponents for preliminary matches, and qualifying the top 64 based on wins within an hour.
In the knockout stage, opponents will be drawn by lot, and it will play out as Bo3 to top eight. From quarterfinals onward, the matches will be Bo5...
Even though it’s an online competition, Chen Ba is very attentive, preparing not only a large amount of prize money but also a batch of Star Emperor co-branded graphics cards as rewards.
"Actually, we don’t lack new players for our ga!"
Seeing Ba exhaust himself for the future of "Star Emperor
