"Ploughing, collecting, mining, fishing, preparing for celebrations, and even getting married and having children, everyone may be very confused when they see these contents, but if I say that this is a lot of gameplay in a game, what would you be? Feel?"

"I'm afraid you will be as suspicious as I was when I first came into contact with this game. What's the fun in this way of playing? My usual life is already like this, why are you still bored and want to find this kind of life in the game again? ? This is totally unreasonable."

   "Video games should not be the kind of fantasy content games, or the content games that stimulate the eye with guns, cars, and balls. What kind of fun can ordinary life be?"

"Indeed, this content will look really boring at first glance. Even the Sims is just a role-playing game in disguise. If you really let yourself do farm work, go mining, fishing and gathering, it is absolutely unacceptable. of."

"But I want to tell everyone who's reading this review that it's perfectly normal for you to think that way, but you're also missing out on a great game called ' Stardew Valley'"

"This is a game that looks a little rough in quality and has a very bad action. The initial impression from all aspects is definitely not very good, but this is just an appearance. The real core is sure to make You'll be amazed, you don't understand why I say these things in life are fun to try again until you actually try them."

"Ploughing, gathering, mining, fishing, preparing for celebrations, even getting married and having children, all of these are too similar to life, but there are many differences. In this world of Stardew Valley, you can Feeling a different kind of warmth can make people forget the troubles in life for a short time, just like the letter left by the protagonist's grandfather to the protagonist at the beginning of the game. I hope that the protagonist can gain inner peace, and play People who play this game can definitely get the same insight…”

   Murakami tried his best to use all kinds of compliments to compliment the game.

   This is really a very rare and touching game for him.

   So he willingly took the initiative to promote this game, hoping to let more people discover this game.

  After posting this article, Murakami once again threw himself into the world of Stardew Valley. Now he has opened the third archive, and strives to be perfect at the beginning, making people impeccable.

   And about two or three days after he posted this article, it also happened to be a week before Stardew Valley was released.

   In just one week, the average online time of Stardew Valley players on the Battle.net platform was as high as more than six hours.

   Generally, a student who is going to school or a working adult has an average of about eight hours of work every day, and then another eight hours of rest and sleep, so the remaining eight hours are daily life time.

Now a game occupies six hours of these people's eight-hour daily life, which is close to 80% of the time occupancy rate, which is enough to prove that this game has made many people addicted to it in a very short period of time. .

   Not only that, after a week of fermentation, the game sold 50,000 copies in the first week.

   This is not a big deal for Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. They have already counted millions of games in the first week, but this game is different.

This game does not have any halo blessing, and the sales look very bad. Compared with other games of the same era, it is really rough. This game has not yet been registered on the mainstream game consoles and handheld platforms. On the PC platform, this doesn't look like it can be a fire.

   Zhu Yuxing estimated that the first week would be around 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. In fact, 50,000 yuan was a bit beyond his imagination.

   But he soon learned that Murakami's contribution was also attributed to him.

This person took the initiative to be the navy of this game, helped to blow the game crazy, and also sent several recommended articles in a row, if it wasn't for Zhu Yuxing to know that Murakami is a person who sticks to the bottom line, and this game Even if he made it himself, he wondered if Murakami took the advertising fee for this game to advertise.

   And with Murakami's recommendation, he, who is now well-known, immediately caused a chain effect, reaching more than 50,000 sales, beyond the imagination of Zhu Yuxing.

   Zhu Yuxing will not miss this promotion opportunity.

   After seeing Murakami taking the initiative to be a sailor, he also directly moved out of his company name and announced the sales volume of Stardew Valley in the first week.

   And the name of the original Battle.net is just a StarCraft launcher is also slowly starting to weaken, Stardew Valley directly tops the best-selling list on Battle.net's store page.

Battle.net is still a very young digital game platform. Everything is still in the state of grass-roots teams. Only two games, StarCraft and Doom, support the scene. No one expected that a small game would suddenly pop up in the process Not a small little dark horse.

   This is only 1,700 yen, and even a steak is more expensive than this. The only regret is that this game is not a physical version, only a digital version, which makes some physical collectors unhappy.

   But this does not affect the popularity of this game.

After Murakami took the initiative to advertise, and Youxing Electronic Entertainment began to recommend this game through its own channels, more and more people began to become interested in Stardew Valley, especially white-collar workers from the working class, who Now they are generally in their twenties or thirteen years old, and they have just entered the society not long ago.

   One of them, Chiaki Suzuki, couldn't put it down as soon as he came into contact with this game.

   In his usual work, his spirit was about to be overwhelmed by the continuous work, and his spirit fell into a state of temporary collapse and confusion.

   And at this time, Stardew Valley appeared. He was originally a StarCraft player. Of course, he is the kind of person who is still addicted to vegetables. He is often killed by advanced players.

   The feeling of losing every day in a competitive game is no less than being frantically reprimanded by his boss at work, and over time he has become a little tired.

   It happened that Murakami, who he often followed, published a review article on Stardew Valley, and also gave the game a five-star super-reviewed game at the end of the article.

   Five-star super praise, this is the first game so far except Yuxing Electronic Entertainment that can be rated as five-star praise by Murakami, so no matter what, Chiaki Suzuki has to try it.

   Then, he too fell.

   But he is not the same as other people who play Stardew Valley. When he plays the game, the first thing he thinks of is his country parents.
