Genshin Impact: Taking the World by Storm!

Time flies, and three months have passed.

Thanks to the detailed data provided by the system, John Doe only needed to guide the employees in the general direction. The employees were immersed in their work every day. Seeing the game being built bit by bit, everyone was in high spirits, and their enthusiasm for work was even higher. Some even stayed up late and worked overtime in the studio.

John couldn't stop them. It was in this working atmosphere that the world of Teyvat gradually took shape. By September, the game was completely produced.

In the office, John reviewed the progress of the work submitted by the employees and looked at the chief planner named Alex Lee in front of him: "The game design is almost complete. You need to hurry up with the character dubbing and have it completed as soon as possible. We're aiming for the official public beta next week."

"Also, how's the game distribution platform coming along?"

Alex frowned and said, "There's a problem in this regard. Penguin seems to be deliberately causing trouble for us. The relatively large mobile phone stores in the country they've approached didn't refuse us, but they offered a high commission."

Since it is a mobile game, it is naturally sold in the mobile game mall, and a certain payment must be delivered to the platform to enter the mobile mall. Most of the methods involve income tax. Currently, the largest mobile game mall in the country is called the Orange Platform. If it can be released on the Orange Platform, it will undoubtedly be seen by more players, and the sales of mobile games will be higher.

But John was not going to give them the money; he was very confident in the game. John said, "It's impossible to give money. It's almost the same for them to beg us. Let's build the official website and let players download it themselves. Anyway, we have to do the official website sooner or later."

"Building a webpage... ah?!!!"

Hearing John's words, Alex was taken aback.

If a big company said this, with a lot of traffic and many players willing to download from the web, it would make sense. But we are just a small studio! We lack publicity and popularity, and letting players download it themselves seems like we're afraid others will discover our game!

"Boss, this, even good wine is afraid of a deep alley!"

Even though it's just a small step for players to download from their own web pages, most players are too lazy to take that small step. Even some large-scale games rely on being well-known enough.

A small studio, with no reputation, why would anyone bother?

Although Alex Lee admitted that the game "Genshin Impact" is very good, it has not officially landed on the market, and no one knows what the result will be. As a general strategy, he didn't have much confidence.

"Do as I say."

John said, "Everyone has been working together during this time. You all have a good idea of how the game is designed. It can be said that once it's launched, it will definitely sweep the market. Why should we give those platforms a cut?"

"This... well..."

Alex Lee asked, "One more thing, boss: when we release the game, what do you think the release price should be?"

"Release price?"

John frowned: "What's the sale price? Our game is free. What money are you talking about when we're giving benefits to players!"

"What?!"

Hearing this, Alex Lee was stunned.

John hadn't mentioned anything about the release price, so Alex thought he hadn't decided yet. But now he says, free games?

No wonder Alex was stunned; the main game release mode in this world is the buyout system or point card sales. He had never seen a free game! Who would work so hard to make a game and then release it for free?

"Haven't you heard the saying? Free is the most expensive. We're not the same as those flashy companies on the market."

"We'll use a card draw system to charge!"

"Speaking of which, the recharge limit of the mall hasn't been determined yet. Set the highest level to 648 for one charge, the next level to 328, and decrease in order."

"648 units?!"

"Of course."

Alex Lee's face was pale.

After these three months, he had confidence in the game, but when he heard John's 648 charge, he lost confidence. 648 for one charge? You can buy two games for that money. Who would spend so much just to draw a card?!

"Anyway, do as I say."

"...All right."

Seeing that it was impossible to persuade John, Alex could only proceed with caution.

"By the way, there's another thing, boss, about the dubbing."

Alex remembered something else: "The voice of Kelly you mentioned last time—we found a lot of voice actors, but none achieved the feeling you described. We studied it and found an anchor on the Shark Platform, Kelly Smith. Her voice seems suitable, but she might not be willing to come. I remember you said she was your college classmate last time, right? Look..."

Hearing this, John recalled a figure from college, and her voice indeed matched Kelly's requirements quite well.

"Okay, I'll contact her later and let her come over and try it out."

With the work explained, Alex left the office, and John turned to pick up the phone, finding a name: Kelly Johnson.

...

When Kelly Johnson arrived at John's Studio (Snowflake Game), it was already a few hours later.

Having left school two years ago, seeing each other again, Kelly's appearance overlapped with that of two years ago, still full of youthful and lively charm. Now she had become a big anchor on the Shark Platform.

"Yeah, busy man, it's been two years, and I finally see you again!"

As soon as she saw John, Kelly said with a smile, "This is your game company? I saw two years ago that you were destined to be the boss!"

"Okay, let's skip the formalities. I reached out to you because I want you to help me with dubbing."

"Voice, what voice?"

"Loli voice."

Afterward, John briefly explained to Kelly the details of the work and the games currently being developed by the studio.

John said, "In addition, we want you to help promote the game. In terms of remuneration, we'll offer you the highest market rate."

Kelly, being a well-known anchor, was very popular on the Shark Platform. When he saw her, John thought if she could promote the game in its early stages, the player base would grow faster.

Kelly: "Hey, it's too formal to talk about money. There's nothing between us that requires payment. I'd play even if you didn't pay."
