I Just Want Players to Save Money, They Insist on Giving Me!-Chapter 59 - 33 The Game Goes Live_1

It seemed that Designer Ke had embedded ads in the recharge interface, and asked if they should contact Ke Jin for modifications?

Upon hearing this, Liu Tianding waved it off nonchalantly.

“It’s not as if it’s being launched on our platform; we’re just responsible for traffic, we can’t control everything. Plus, those who make games certainly want players to recharge and spend more than we who run a platform do, there must be a reason for his actions.”

We at WWgame, with all our flawed games, want to teach others how to make games? Just sit back and happily count the money!

…

Finally, at the beginning of the new week, at twelve noon.

WWgame officially launched a major new promotional campaign.

Less than half an hour into the game’s online debut, many players who came for the reputation hastened to the ‘Number One Player’ official website to download Skyline and posted comments at the bottom of the site.

“Baby Ke! I damned Laina!”

“City simulation management? I remember the largest management game we have on Blue Star is currently ‘Simulation Landlord’, dealing with decorations, attracting guests, negotiating prices, and getting an entire neighborhood to become your property means winning. Even with that, there’s quite a bit of detail in the game. Isn’t Baby Ke taking too big of a step going straight to an entire city? Can he manage all the details?”

“Indeed, I’m also worried that the game will fail under its own ambition and affect its reputation later on, especially when the previous games were quite well-done. If we can just hold on and develop further, we might become a B-level game company.”

“Why bother with all that, just recharge first! Daring to say you love Baby Ke without spending money? All of you must be spies sent by rival factories!”

“Don’t talk to me about game features or gameplay, in my view, there’s just one thing: spending! I’ve even prepared ten thousand bucks to blow on this game /sinister/ sinster.”

Thanks to Ke Jin’s previous titles, a number of dedicated players had accumulated.

In the first hour of the game’s release, the ‘Number One Player’ official website backend already saw a real-time download rate of over ten thousand.

For a company that had just been established and was currently only rated D-level (not yet upgraded at the Game Supervisory Bureau),

the first-hour download figure of ten thousand+ was quite impressive.

Moreover, even larger traffic was still to come.

As WWgame continues to drive traffic over these 14 days, some game streamers are bound to notice this game and give it a try.

That’s when a game’s revenue starts to soar.

…

That evening, at eight o’clock.

Thunderbolt live stream.

Within the gaming section, Wang Laoju’s live stream room was broadcasting “Goblin Pinball.”

“…This bead’s effect seems quite good,” said Wang Laoju, resting his chin in one hand, focusing on clicking to view the details of the newly acquired bead.

[Inferno Bead: A single strike can detonate an explosive, a single strike can shatter shield spikes, and it causes 2 points of burn damage to itself on launch.]

This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.

At first glance, this bead seemed to be a Seven Injuries Boxing move.

But when paired with a few relics he had just obtained—automatic health recovery after each round, halved damage from self-inflicted injuries, and dealing a substantial AOE damage whenever taking self-inflicted damage—

The value of this Inferno Bead would become apparent.

“Brothers, should we pick this one? Give me your thoughts,” Lao Ju was still hesitating.

The chat was flooded with messages.

“My evaluation is, ‘Inferno Bead is genuine; I classify it as self-immolation.’

“Alright, alright, this is the one, this is the one!”

“The chairman’s bold choice, if it doesn’t produce an effect, I’ll volunteer to train in the Fire Copper Room.”

“The Fire Copper Room is full; go train in the Guy Room instead.”

Aside from discussing game content, a small portion of the bullet comments started flashing.

“Stop streaming this already; no matter how fun, we can’t take watching the same thing for a whole month.”

“I haven’t even downloaded the game, yet I’ve memorized all these bead effects by heart.”

“Switch it up, switch it up!”

This phenomenon in the bullet comments had been ongoing for nearly a week.

As for this, Wang Laoju’s solution was to ignore it.

There’s no helping it, there are just too few good games on the market now.

In the past, when nobody had anything to eat, we’d make do with munching on some bark.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a dark horse designer blasts onto the scene with a pot of stewed pork ribs.

Instantly, it raised the threshold for the audience.

Once that threshold is lifted, it’s very hard to push it back down.

As a kid watching TV commercials, just seeing an underwear ad could keep me entranced for half an hour; grown up, faced with hundreds of terabytes of resources, I became picky, switching to the next one the minute something didn’t quite suit my taste. Finally, when I found a suitable scene to relax with, I applied too much force, and the video froze right on the male lead’s leg hair.

Oops.

Ill-fated.

The audience now is the same.

With fun games to play, naturally, they can’t stomach the stale chaff and vegetables from before.

However, today’s bullet comments were especially loud.

Wang Laoju had no choice but to come forward and explain.

“Didn’t we play a random-type game developed by Tengjing a few days ago? But its level of polish isn’t as high as ‘Gotham,’ a fact everyone is aware of. Plus, its in-app purchases are far less reasonable than those in ‘Gotham.'”

After these words, the bullet comments flew even more fiercely.

“What era is this? Who still plays traditional Gotham? Baby Ke has released a new game!”

“What?” Wang Laoju was taken aback: “What a surprise! When did this happen? I searched for his updates this morning but didn’t find any.”

“Chairman, this version is way outdated; I suggest you upgrade your XP!”

“My bad, my bad, that’s on me.”

“It’s me, it’s me! I forgot to remind the chairman /Dog Head”

“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Bring on the new game!”

“Dinnertime, dinnertime! My takeout has arrived; just waiting for this serving of electronic pickles.”

Wang Laoju searched a bit.

On the WWgame platform, he indeed found a new game that Ke Jin had just released today.

‘Urban Skyline’

Type: City Management Simulation

Summary: Here, you will play as a mayor starting from scratch, experiencing firsthand the thrill and challenges of creating and maintaining a real city, and letting the winds of prosperity flow through every street!

…

Suddenly, a delighted expression spread over Lao Ju’s face.

Forget Goblin Pinball!

Skyline, activate!
