Chapter 10: Chapter 10: New Directions for the Ga
After screening and negotiations, two strears finally reached a cooperation agreent with Tianba Ga Studio.
The quotes from both strears were reasonable, and their fan engagent and loyalty were good. They would livestream [Cold Window Study Simulator] for over five hours in the coming week.
Each strear would get an average of fifty thousand yuan.
This money wasn’t paid in full upfront but began with a deposit. After eting the promo targets, which ans completing the five-hour streaming task, the rest would be settled.
The money spent must show results.
Under Chen Ba’s urging, these two strears didn’t delay and quickly dove into [Cold Window Study Simulator] during their live broadcast that night, coming up with so random reasons.
Let’s just say...
To reach such a large fan base, and being ga strears, almost every one of them has their own unique skill, making their shows exceptionally entertaining.
For instance, one female strear falls into the "hot-headed" player category, often getting frustrated by incompetent teammates, banging on the table, which viewers love to see, and then they edit the footage into videos.
Obviously, her initial outburst was unintentional.
But later, she discovered that the audience loved seeing her lose her cool, and she quickly capitalized on this, turning it into her show’s highlight and slowly building a massive, loyal fan base.
The other male strear has a unique style. He loves fooling around but plays gas seriously and enjoys imrsing himself in the storyline.
Each has their style, and the live stream viewing experience was excellent.
Plus, Cold Window Study Simulator itself is a ga that performs well in live streaming, so under the promotion of these two, the download numbers welcod yet another peak.
"Woohoo!"
Chen Ba and Yang Dong kept watch on the streaming room and the backend data, respectively.
Noticing the ga’s purchase and download numbers rapidly increasing with the effortful "performance" of the two strears, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Could be thousands, right?"
Yang Dong ntioned uncertainly: "As long as our ga can increase sales by 10,000 copies, it feels like pure profit."
"You can see a bit now, but after tonight, it’s hard to say."
Chen Ba shook his head.
A famous strear brings a noticeable increase in ga sales on the first day of their live stream.
But as ti goes on, it’s harder to discern which part of the sales growth is due to the strear and which part is natural growth.
So, their tric for success in this promo is simple: just look at the sales growth from tonight to tomorrow night over 24 hours.
If within these 24 hours, sales growth exceeds 10,000 copies, given the ga’s pricing, they’ll have recouped the promo expenses and made a small profit.
More than 10,000 copies?
Then it’s a big win!
The two strears have their own main gas, so it’s impossible for them to keep playing [Cold Window Study Simulator].
So once they’ve stread for an hour, today’s promotion task is considered complete.
During that one hour of stream ti, the two strears attracted over 2,000 new players to [Cold Window Study Simulator].
The number isn’t overly impressive.
But this is normal, as many viewers are still watching the live stream and haven’t thought about buying the ga to experience it firsthand.
Once they finish streaming, and the viewers have nothing else to do, they might rember [Cold Window Study Simulator] and out of curiosity take a look, then decide based on their mood whether to purchase and play.
Moreover, both of these strears have dedicated recording and clipping creators, also known as "recording guys." Once the recorded clips are released, the influence will continue to spread.
So, sales growth will definitely have another wave, but how much is unknown...
"Dong, you should go to sleep first."
Seeing it was too late, Chen Ba was too embarrassed to have Yang Dong stay up with him, so he let him sleep in the next room.
That’s right!
Since Yang Dong isn’t a native of Jiangning, and Chen Ba’s rented studio is spacious enough, with a four-bedroom, two-living room, kitchen, and two-bath setup, they could spare two rooms to use as dorms, so he moved in to live with Chen Ba.
Living and working together isn’t sothing hard to understand for many startup ga studios.
Zhang Xiaojun, being a girl and a local of Jiangning, doesn’t live here.
In normal circumstances.
For a studio like Tianba Ga, a few guys squeezing in together, two per room, would leave enough space for office work and ga developnt.
"It’s still early, I can’t sleep even if I want to," Yang Dong shook his head.
"Then should we chat?"
Taking out two cans of soda from the fridge and handing one to Yang Dong, Chen Ba smiled and asked, "You’re from Zhonghai, why co to a second-tier city like Jiangning for university and work?"
"How should I put it..."
After sipping so soda, Yang Dong said with a sowhat complicated expression: "If I say it was for love, would you laugh at ?"
"Not at all!"
Hearing the word ’love,’ Chen Ba seed touched, sighing: "At our age, still being single, who doesn’t have a bumpy love history?"
"You too..."
Yang Dong glanced at Chen Ba curiously, then asked, "I forgot to ask, where are you originally from?"
"Bozhou! It’s far away, right?"
Chen Ba smiled, as if sothing had sparked his mory, and said, "Our place can’t compare to an international tropolis like Zhonghai. It’s surrounded by mountains..."
"I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never been there."
"If I get the chance, I’d love to visit your hotown. I’ve heard the mountains and rivers are really beautiful!"
"Of course, they are. Since leaving, I haven’t seen a place more beautiful than my hotown."
Speaking of his hotown, Chen Ba said with both pride and helplessness, "But no matter how beautiful it is, it can’t keep people there. With soone like , what else can I do besides farming if I go back?"
"That’s true!"
Yang Dong nodded and then pursued, "Did you, like , choose Jiangning University for a girl?"
"Sothing like that."
Without confirming or denying, Chen Ba hedged, "Before going to college, I never left the city. The outside world was too unfamiliar to ."
It didn’t matter where he went to college.
As long as he got into college, he would be one of only two in the village, second only to the village head’s eldest son.
It just so happened that at that ti, there was a girl who moved him and she said she wanted to go to Jiangning University, so he filled in Jiangning University without thinking.
"And then?"
Listening to the story with great interest, Yang Dong, full of curiosity, forgot to drink his soda and asked, "Did you get together later?"
"No, she repeated a year."
It was like a cold joke. The anticipation on Yang Dong’s face imdiately turned to speechless when Chen Ba said this.
"That’s... absurd."
Yang Dong found it hard to judge others’ experiences, so he sumd it up with the word "absurd."
He also shared his own story.
It turns out he had a girlfriend back in high school. They agreed to go to college together and did end up in the sa university.
But most campus romances end in a ss.
Yang Dong was no exception, but he could never let go of that person in his heart, so after graduation he stayed in Jiangning to be closer to her.
"Damn, you’re a... cough cough!"
Chen Ba almost spoke his mind, but held back the last word and then advised, "Is it really necessary? If you can’t let go, why break up in the first place?"
"Who understands matters of the heart?"
Yang Dong said with a sense of loss, "I tried to let her go, but I found it impossible. Maybe that’s what they call an obsession!"
Truly, a tangled ss!
Others’ relationship experiences aren’t his to judge, but Chen Ba did feel that Yang Dong loved too humbly.
But if that’s what he wanted, who was he to say otherwise? He could only wish him success in his desires!
They clinked their soda bottles, and after discussing their "rough" love histories, Chen Ba felt the topic was too heavy, so he switched topics.
"I’m planning to continue making simulation gas for the new ga. Dong, what do you think?"
"You’re the boss, it’s up to you."
Yang Dong had no opinion; he had a proper stance, doing whatever Chen Ba said.
However, he did have a question.
"Still the style of Cold Window Study Simulator, going for a storyline that tugs at the heartstrings?"
"Pretty much!"
Chen Ba admitted, "The new ga plan is essentially a sequel to Cold Window Study Simulator, only this ti it’s Living Under Soone’s Roof."
"Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator?"
Thinking of the na, Yang Dong’s expression beca bewildered.
What is this about?
First, it’s Cold Window Study. Next, it’s Living Under Soone’s Roof. Don’t you want the protagonist to have any good? Are you really going down this path of bittersweet to the end?
"Cough cough, it’s called a unique style."
"Every ga studio has its expertise and thes. Our Tianba Ga Studio is all about pushing this bittersweet style to the extre; it might actually carve out a niche."
Thinking in this way, it actually made sense!
Although Chen Ba’s reasoning wasn’t strong, Yang Dong thought about it and found it made sense.
For a startup ga studio, the most feared thing is being all over the place, trying to do everything but doing nothing well, without a fixed player fanbase.
Chen Ba chose the bittersweet route, which, although odd, could accumulate a dedicated fanbase if every ga under its belt sold as well as Cold Window Study Simulator.
With a fixed player fanbase, the studio would establish itself in the gaming world and make a na for itself.
Future ventures into new types of gas wouldn’t be as difficult as it was at the start.
So this path is feasible!
