God-level game designer starts with scared crying anchor

Chapter 84 In the way of him, he is also in the body

What Ma Chengye said was true. Emperor Penguin Games had thousands of people from top to bottom, and just paying them salaries was a huge expense every month.

Not to mention scattered costs such as rent, water and electricity bills, and Internet bills.

Therefore, the purpose of Emperor Penguin to make games is to first consider whether it can make money?How much can you earn?

As for whether it can bring good games to players, it is just by the way.

Looking at all the games of Emperor Penguin, many of them are online games and mobile krypton games, and there are very few stand-alone games.

They would rather use the money to represent popular foreign online games than to use it to develop new stand-alone games.

The reason is that from the perspective of Emperor Penguin Games, the money earned from stand-alone games is too little, and players will not incur subsequent expenditures after buying the game.

Some people may say, your family can sell DLC!But how much DLC can a stand-alone game sell?

If there are too many DLCs sold, players will still be accused of eating too ugly.

Selling DLC ​​is equivalent to selling a car and giving away a motorcycle. When your family sells DLC, you first sell the body to the player, and then disassemble the wheels and sell them to the player one by one.

Compared with stand-alone games, online games are more favored by Emperor Penguin games. As long as players enter the pit, either to obtain a better game experience or to compete with other players, they will continue to pour into the game. money.

If there are enough female players in the game, players will spend more money.

And online games are kept updated, and the version is updated every once in a while, which is normal for players.

And the version is much more updated, players will also praise the Emperor Penguin game for being diligent, instead of being scolded like a stand-alone game.

But if you encounter a popular stand-alone game, you will not miss the Emperor Penguin game, such as "Plants vs. Zombies" this time.

In the past, Emperor Penguin Games thought that the stand-alone market was not profitable, and casual puzzle games were even more niche.

They participated in the competition just to gain a sense of presence, and by the way, to see if they could get their own game designers to win a ranking, and they could earn a little bit.

But the popularity of "Plants vs. Zombies" has refreshed their understanding of the market for stand-alone games, especially casual puzzle games.

From their point of view, such a high level of enthusiasm must be followed, and developing a game of the same type as quickly as possible to grab the rest of the cake has become the current focus of Emperor Penguin Games.

"Actually, it's not just us. As far as I know, many old friends have this plan, and Canopy Games has already started production. We can't fall behind and miss this cake for nothing." Ma Chengye added.

Xiao Meng also understands that "Plants vs. Zombies" let everyone see how attractive the casual puzzle game market is.

Many game companies will definitely not turn a blind eye, they will definitely end one after another, the only difference is that the resources invested are different.

Although she is a five-star game designer, she can ignore Ma Chengye's words, but she can't stop the Emperor Penguin game from making money, let alone stop other game companies from making money.

Cutting off people's fortunes is like killing their parents. If she has this idea and puts it into action, if she eventually attracts a lot of big capital to encircle and suppress her, the road ahead will probably be very difficult.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Meng said: "To make a game of the same type, relying on our channels and various resources, we can indeed grab a big piece of cake.

But "Plants vs. Zombies" was the first to be released after all, and it stood out after participating in the competition, and it was even recommended by the homepage of Misty Asgard. Even we can hardly shake its position, at most we can only grab the second place. "

"Well. This is within my expectation, but being able to grab the second position is enough for us to make a lot of money, so this thing can be done! It must be done!" Ma Chengye nodded and said.

One of his job contents is to analyze the market trend, find out the suitable game type, discuss with the people in the R&D department, and finally make the game, seize the market and harvest players' wallets.

Therefore, such a large piece of fat was placed in front of him, and he had to go up and take a bite of whatever he said, otherwise he would be dereliction of duty, and he might be directly kicked off by the higher-ups.

"Okay! Then go for it."

"Xiaomeng! Are you interested in making this game?" Ma Chengye asked with a smile.

Xiao Meng shook her head and said: "I'm sorry, Brother Ma, I still want to focus on shooting games, a casual puzzle game is not worth my shot."

Although Xiao Meng is interested in Xun Ze, she doesn't bother to make a game that follows the trend of "Plants vs. Zombies". She has the pride of being a five-star game designer!
Ma Chengye also understood this truth, he just saw that Xiao Meng was quite free recently, so he asked one more question.

It is of course best for Xiao Meng to be willing to make a move, even if he is not willing, Ma Chengye feels it should be taken for granted.

So he turned to ask again: "Then do you have anyone to recommend?"

"Guo Si, he makes games by himself, and makes a bad one, but he is a bit good at learning from it. He must have been a donkey in his previous life! He can't walk without someone leading him." Xiao Meng said with a sneer.

Guo Si is a three-star game designer of Emperor Penguin Games, and his reputation in the circle is mixed.

Because the games he developed by himself have mediocre results, but the games he borrowed can always play new tricks.

There was even a feat of overturning the object of reference.

Although part of the reason for this is the Emperor Penguin game, the bigger reason is his game, which is more fun than the reference object.

A player with high EQ gave him a nickname—Gusu Murongsi, which means that he is good at using others' methods and giving them to others.

But obviously, in Xiao Meng's view, Guo Si is still a role that cannot be put on the stage.

Ma Chengye also smiled helplessly when he heard the words, "Don't let him hear what you said."

"Hmph! Even if I pointed at his nose, what dare he do?" Xiao Meng said indifferently.

Thinking that Guo Si was just a Samsung game designer, he really didn't dare to do anything in front of Xiao Meng.

But with Guo Si's temperament, there will still be some temper tantrums and the like.

So Ma Chengye decisively changed the subject and said, "Then I'll go find him! You can do your work!"

Although Guo Si's reputation is not very good, black and red are also red. As long as it is Guo Si's game, there must be some verbal battles among players, which is conducive to the popularity.

In addition, Guo Si borrowed from "Plants vs. Zombies" this time, with the double BUFF blessing, the sales will definitely not be low.

"Walk slowly, don't send."

After Ma Chengye left the office, Xiao Meng picked up her mobile phone and dialed a number. After asking a few questions, Xiao Meng picked up a small satchel that looked ordinary but sold for six figures, and left the Emperor Penguin Game office building.
