Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 507: Fall Guys

At this game exhibition, Chen Yiyang saw a familiar booth while walking around.

Wukong: Black Myth.

Chen Yiyang previously invested in this game company, which claimed to be making the first AAA game in the country.

Seeing the company’s booth now, he immediately wanted to go over and try the game.

However, there were so many people gathered around the booth that the line to try the game had already stretched to the neighboring booth.

Chen Yiyang couldn’t squeeze in at all and had no choice but to leave for the time being.

Although he could have used his identity to take advantage of privileges to play the game.

But with so many people watching on site.

Chen Yiyang didn’t want to be photographed and posted online, saying that as such a big boss, he’s still pulling rank.

After the exhibition ends, Chen Yiyang plans to visit their company directly to play, and by then he might be able to experience even more content.

Today’s game exhibition featured quite a variety of games.

Of course, the most attention-catching were the various cosplayers invited by the game companies, dressed really scantily, with less fabric than swimwear.

Though there was plenty of hype, there weren’t really many games worth Chen Yiyang’s attention.

Most of the games here were imitating previous successful ones.

However, in the gaming realm, the initial advantage of creativity is still quite apparent, simply imitating won’t easily produce a hit game.

Yingkumi’s open-world two-dimensional games have only been popular for a few months, yet a bunch of games here at the exhibition are already boasting an open-world two-dimensional slogan, none of which caught Chen Yiyang’s interest.

"This one’s cute." The junior accountant suddenly spoke, pointing to a game booth.

Chen Yiyang looked over and saw a small game booth with posters featuring characters that looked like jelly beans.

The art style seemed quite family-friendly.

Since there weren’t many people around this game booth, Chen Yiyang easily walked over.

"Hello, welcome to visit our game." A young girl, looking like a university student, saw Chen Yiyang and immediately came over, enthusiastically introducing, "Our game is called Fall Guys, produced by a company from the United Kingdom. Would you like to try it?"

"Sure." Chen Yiyang nodded.

He and the junior accountant sat down in front of the computer to try the game.

This game is less of a game and more like an online challenge show mimicking reality TV challenge shows.

Players control jelly bean-like characters through various levels, racing to be the first to finish and win.

It’s basically no different from reality TV challenge shows.

Since challenge shows have been popular for years, this game’s audience won’t be small either.

After playing a few rounds, Chen Yiyang started to take a great interest in the game.

Normally, he’s indifferent to family-friendly games, yet the junior accountant who rarely plays was visibly enthusiastic.

This shows that the game indeed has great appeal to female players.

Domestically, unless it’s a smaller game, a game attracting many female players will also draw male players, ensuring sustained growth.

After all, male players, whether they like the game or not, are willing to play as long as they can do so with their girlfriends or female friends.

It seems this game has a promising future.

"Who’s in charge here?" Chen Yiyang asked the staff, "I’m a game publisher, and I think your game has great potential. Can I talk with your lead?"

The staff hadn’t expected Chen Yiyang to be a game publisher.

Seeing that Chen looked genuine, the staff quickly introduced the game’s lead to him.

"Hello." In the backstage resting area of the exhibition, a middle-aged British man shook hands with Chen Yiyang.

"I recognize you." Before Chen Yiyang could introduce himself, the man pointed at him, saying, "You’re a well-known investor internationally; I didn’t expect to meet you here."

Chen Yiyang was surprised at how well-known he had become internationally.

"Where did you hear about me?" Chen asked curiously.

"On the news, the major news media in Europe have been reporting on you, calling you a young investor who rose through speculation, and assembled a team to steal artifacts in Europe."

Uh.

Chen Yiyang thought to himself that he should’ve anticipated this outcome.

Ever since he refused to return the Ancient Rome lead block to Europeans, a bunch of European media started digging out his past.

The focus was naturally on fabricating stories and criticizing Chen Yiyang for aggressively stealing European artifacts and refusing to return them after being caught.

Chen thought isn’t this what you Europeans are being accused of?

However, the man clearly wasn’t bothered by this issue and said to Chen Yiyang, "Are you interested in our game?"

"Yes, do you have a publisher? Do you need funding?"

"We already found a publisher, planning to release on Steam." The man replied, "But indeed we lack some funds to continue developing the game."

"What is your strategy for this game, a computer game or a mobile game, pay-to-play or free-to-play?"

"Computer game, pay-to-play, and later we might release some skin packs to earn money." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Chen Yiyang sharply realized that if this game was on the mobile platform, it would surely be much more popular than on the PC.

Being a family-style game, it’s easy to imagine friends and family gathering and playing casually on phones.

If it’s only on PC, it’s not feasible to specifically visit an internet café just to play.

Moreover, the best locations for playing such a game would be at home gatherings or while dining out, during meal preparation times.

So, this game would definitely be a hit on mobile phones, but might have less success on PCs.

Thus, Chen Yiyang immediately proposed to the lead, "Would you be interested in selling the copyright for the mobile platform of this game?

I can invest some money, then you authorize me to make this game on mobile."

"Sure." The lead agreed without hesitation.

They wanted to make a mobile version but lacked technical abilities.

Moreover, they didn’t think the game’s success on mobile could surpass its impact on PC.

As players from a main console gaming country, they envisioned this game as one to play in front of a TV with friends.

Therefore, they didn’t care about mobile users.

Since Chen was willing to invest money to buy the mobile platform’s copyright, the lead was happy to sell and use the funds to further develop the game.
