014 Fanbook Reprint

In his previous life, as the originator of the leisure and pastoral life simulation management game, the "Story of the Ranch" series has always had quite a lot of loyal fans. However, due to the business strategy issues of its production company's MMV and the host limitation, this game has been lukewarm and has sold around hundreds of thousands.

However, in the era when the Internet is developing rapidly and independent games are in full swing, an imitation of "Story of the Ranch" allows people to see the potential of this kind of game.

An American with the pseudonym "Melancholy" spent four years independently creating a game called "Story of Stardew Valley".

His original purpose was to develop a game like "Story of the Ranch" on the PC platform to make up for his regrets. Who knew that after the game was released on the steam platform, it was immediately successful, and 400,000 copies were sold in more than ten days!

The melancholy ape himself has also moved from a part-time job in the theater to the peak of his life and became a millionaire.

Qin Han, who had experience in his previous life, knew that "The Story of the Ranch" was fresh in style, slow-paced in rhythm, and full of rural wild fun games. It is very marketable and can satisfy the modern urban people's yearning for pastoral life.

Do you still remember the once popular QQ Farm? It was a crazy era when uncles and aunts who had never been exposed to games would set alarm clocks and get up in the middle of the night to steal vegetables.

Pastoral games have always had audiences, and in this world, Qin and Han are pioneers of this type of games, it is easy to succeed.

However, since the Oriental series has a strong fantasy color, he cannot copy "The Story of the Ranch", but should also refer to its extended work "Runish Workshop" series and add RPG combat elements.

After thinking clearly in mind, Qin Han began to introduce his plan to Fatty Tanaka.

"Fantasy Village is a mysterious place isolated by the magic barrier. There are many wonderful creatures living here - in short, they all have cute girls in appearance. One day, the protagonist travels through time and space, mistakenly enters the fantasy Village, and has to start a new life here. The witch of Boli Shrine, Boli Lingmeng, gave the protagonist an abandoned farm to take care of. I hope he can help the residents of Fantasy Village to build this place into a beautiful and rich paradise..."

"Oh, it sounds very interesting!" Kensuke Tanaka's eyes shone.

Today's fan clubs mostly produce galgames, which are quite single in type. So when Qin Han first introduced them, he realized the value of this creativity.

"The game adopts a pixel style and does not require high requirements for artwork. In addition to the protagonist's farm, the Fantasy Village map also has places such as Bori Shrine, Red Devil's Hall, Minglian Temple, and Yongyuan Pavilion. The protagonist can plant crops on the farm and take care of animals. You can also stroll in Fantasy Village, complete various tasks, make friends with residents and even fall in love. In addition, there are elements such as fishing and mining..."

"Wait!" Kensuke Tanaka took out his cell phone and opened the notepad, "Please continue with Qin Sang, I want to write down all the ideas of these geniuses!"

It was just a chat, but suddenly the game planning project started.

Even Qin Han himself didn't know that a game series that was popular all over the world in the future was born at the noisy summer fan show.

When the store was closed, Ken Tanaka left with satisfaction.

However, the game is still in the draft stage, and there is still a long way to go before completion.

After discussion, Qin Han will be responsible for the character setting, plot script, background story, overall planning work, other artwork, programs, music, data settings, etc. of "The Story of the Oriental Fantasy Country". It is the C2 agency's business.

Today's fan exhibition was a great success, and Qin Han decided to treat him to the barbecue restaurant to celebrate.

However, Yui Aragaki left early because the office asked her to leave, so in the end, only four big men went to dinner.

After drinking and eating, Qin Han returned to the apartment with a fireworks of barbecue.

Take a shower and go to bed beautifully.

Early the next morning, Qin Han was woken up by his cell phone.

"Who is it early in the morning?"

He picked up his phone in a daze and found it was an unfamiliar phone number.

"Hey, who is it?"

"I'm really sorry for disturbing you early in the morning. I'm the person in charge of Tiger's Cave."

Tiger's Cave is a large chain store that has been in business for more than ten years, centered on fan-mindedness and also sells other animation and book products. It is well-known in the minds of Dongying Azhai.

Every year, the sales ranking of R18 comics released by Tiger's Knife is the most authoritative list in the eyes of many gentlemen.

It is absolutely right to find a book according to the ranking list of Tiger's Cave!

When Qin Han heard the phone call from Tiger's Cave, he cheered up: "I'm lucky, I'm lucky, is there anything wrong?"

"Old Qinren, this is the case. We think the fan book you sell on summer CM is very outstanding and has great commercial potential. Are you willing to reprint it? We can assist in the sales."

There are three types of sales channels for Fan Renzhi.

Selling (selling in a physical bookstore), and Selling (selling in communications, that is, online shopping).

Now that with the cooperation of Tiger's Cave, Qin and Han fans already had two more sales channels, which were obviously better than fighting alone and setting up stalls for fan exhibitions.

Of course Qin Han would not refuse the good thing he had to make money. He said: "It is my honor to be able to cooperate with the Tiger's Knife. How many more do you think do you want to publish me?"

"Let's publish five thousand copies first."

"Five thousand?" Qin Han felt that the other party was a little too brave.

"Teacher Qinren, go to your Twitter and you will know that reprinting 5,000 copies is a very reasonable number."

Qin Han opened Twitter and was startled by the thousands of messages that came out overnight.

"Old Qinren, why don't you limit the purchase quantity at the fan exhibition? I was just one step late and didn't buy it!"

"Yes, yes, now online, "Daily Safe Milk" has been hyped up to 3,000 yuan per book!"

"I am a fan from China. Do I have online shopping channels for teachers' works?"

"I'm down and ask the teacher to reprint it!"

"I'm down and ask the teacher to reprint it!"

"I'm down and ask the teacher to reprint it!"

…………

Looking at the series of formation messages, Qin Han didn't know what to say.

In order to complete the task and sell 5,000 fan books as soon as possible, he did not implement purchase restrictions. As a result, many people did not buy it.

He immediately posted a tweet: "Thank you for your enthusiastic support. I apologize for the trouble of everyone's failure to buy the work. There is good news that I have reached a sales agreement with Tiger's Knot, and the reprinted products will start selling soon."

After tweeting, Qin Han found that his Twitter followers had exceeded 20,000.

"I wonder how much economic benefits these fans can bring into?"

As a man who owes 20 million yuan in debt, Qin Han now considers money anytime and anywhere.

"I don't know how much economic benefits can be converted. But I can digitize your popularity in reality."

The system suddenly interrupted and released a new task.

“Side Quest Release.”

"Become a junior internet celebrity!"

"Task goal: Twitter fans reach 50,000 (real data)."

"Task Reward: Turn on new functions: Real popularity can be linked to the system and converted into reputation points at a certain proportion."
Chapter completed!
