After a whole hour...

Octopath Traveler is officially launched on the whole platform, with open payment channels and download channels. At the same time, several other types of games have been launched. There are some famous but not very big ones, and the game type is similar to Octopath Traveler, but it is not the same type, so there is almost no conflict.

Compared with Dream Memory, the development time of the game is almost endless, but compared with the games of some other creators and studios, the speed of Octopath Traveler is quite slow.

This is mainly not how difficult the game development environment is, but includes art and lens used in the middle, and the soundtrack has been modified several times.

There is still a lot of attention on Octopath Traveler. Although it is a pixel JRPG, after all, John, who developed this game, had a million-selling independent small game Binding of Isaac before, which is more important. What happened is that on the eve of the game production, there was a mouthful. Although it was claimed that ARPG is the trend of technological development, the traditional JPRG type is not the end. Players do not dislike RPGs, but the producers do not produce the RPGs they want.

These words happened to be said at the Independent Game Conference the day before that the turn-based system and god's perspective are all left over from the times. Martel, who will tend to ARPG in the future RPG development, gave a speech.

Now Martel's Time and Space has been online for quite a while, and the response is not bad. Although many players say that it is a bit not like RPG, the sales volume is the best proof, the cumulative sales exceeded 1.7 million sets, and it is a hot-selling game. Even if it is not launched at the same time, there will still be many people comparing the two games.

With the launch of Octopath Traveler, people who have followed this game as early as possible have begun to wait and see, and there are also many Players looking at the excitement. They want to know what capital can sell 20 Dollars for this pixel-style game.

Although the price is not expensive, it is even more than 20 Dollars cheaper than Martel's Time and Space, but in the impression of most players, this is a pixel game. Why do you dare to sell such a pixel game so expensive? Do you treat us players like pigs?

"I don't know how much sales can be on the first day," Luna said nervously, touching the tennis ball on the chair next to her.

Under her eyes, Luna also understood that the first-day sales are still very important for the follow-up of a game. The first thing is to publicize. Under the premise of publicity, your first-day sales figures are not good-looking, and subsequent publicity will be hard.

"Be prepared for the worst. It is estimated that the sales on the first day will not be too good. After all, it is a JRPG game, and it is a pixel style." John said with a little worry when he smiled.

This time it was not from confidence in Dream Memory, but John felt that there was no need to worry. Because he feels that he has done all the things within his current ability, some of the criticisms in Dream Memory, such as insufficient funds, cause the eight characters to not have too much content interaction, even as a hidden line connecting the stories of the eight people. Its grand plot is also slightly bland, which has been made up in his production process.

The original arts and music scores are not the same as the original, and there are still some gaps in some places, but John feels that it has not lost its soul. And John also made some optimizations on the combat system, so that the characters in the battle have more exquisite details.

In the Dream Memory, because of funding problems all the battle scenes are zoomed in through the lens and performed based on the original map. The advantage of this is to save money, but the disadvantage is that the details are not so fine.

But apparently, the creators in the Dream Memory also thought of this, let alone the action skills and the feedback of the attacked action. The delicate pixel visual performance in the game even caused the character's clothes and hair to be blown by the wind. The moving effects are used to cover up the lack of details of the lens magnification technique used in combat.

But after all, this is still an auxiliary method. If you look carefully, you can still find some defects. But it becomes the best you can do with your current abilities. If you fail in this situation, John will have nothing to say.

"However, what are you doing to make such a game?" Listening to John saying that sales on the first day might not be too good, Luna asked a bit strangely.

"Probably just to make the game you want to do without losing money." John thought and said.

When he selected the game Octopath Traveler, he didn't think so much. He simply thought that this innovative and retro JRPG was particularly strong, and he wanted to make it. As for sales and not to make money, this was the second time he thought about it.

If I want to make money just to make money, many games in his memory make him feel that the gacha system is very good, and they are not worse than some real games, but these games John does not want to do.

The Binding of Isaac has made him earn money that he might not have earned in his life. Now he feels quite satisfied with himself, having a car and a house and a person who loves himself. Is not saying that I have no sense of money and can make money to make myself a better life, who wouldn't want it?

When you can make money, make your favorite game. This is what John wants to do. As for earning more, let me say more. A naive and absurd idea, if there is no dream memory. But John, who has a dream memory, felt that he should be able to achieve this goal.

"What about you? Do you have anything to do?" John stared at the person next to him.

"Of course there is!" Luna looked at John's face and suddenly glanced to the side. Her face also became a little red.

"What is it? I'll help you!" John said seriously.

He thought he might not be able to say such a sentence, but now he thinks he should be able to do it. As long as she wishes, nothing is too big.

Realize your wishes? Listening to John, Luna thought about turning his head.

"I also want to learn to play games!" After a few seconds of silence, she turned her head and suddenly put her head on John's shoulder, Luna said in a low voice.

At the same time, there is a sentence in the back she did not say, "It doesn't matter whether you make a game or start a company. As long as we can stay together forever!"

"Eh..." John froze for a moment when he heard this and did not expect the other party to say that suddenly.

He looked at Luna, who was leaning on his shoulder. John, who was sitting on the chair, seemed to think of something. He smiled and hugged each other gently: "Okay, I will teach you..."

"Woof, Woof, Woof-!" Sitting on the chair, and found that suddenly no one had pet it, looked around, and finally stared at the Master and Mistress holding each other in front of him, and barked.

At this moment...

"Wow-!" A burst of cheers came from the office outside, and then the rapid footsteps sounded.

"Mr. John, Mr. John, the sales are out..." With excitement, Evelien, who even forgot to knock on the door, suddenly opened the door with a flushed face and rushed in with excitement.

Looking at the two people in front of her, Evelien rushed in and suddenly froze, paused for two or three seconds, and then retreated quickly, and then shut the door with a snap.
