Start a company to make games

Chapter 66 Platform Popularity
Hi Dog said with some concern: "But the current balance of our King of Fighters game seems to be insufficient. I am worried that after the ladder system is released..."

Liu Xiong nodded affirmatively, and said, "Yes, hey dog, you are right. The King of Fighters' balance is indeed not very good."

"At that time, everyone will definitely use the national team, that is, those few fixed characters."

"But it doesn't matter. For competitive games, the balance is gradually found out bit by bit. Look at the RTS games on the market, which one has not been patched for a long time before it slowly tends to balance."

"Playing King of Fighters on the Feimeng game platform, you must update the patch when you enter the game to update the game to the latest version. And we can gradually achieve the balance of the game by releasing patches slowly."

"As for things like the hidden hero Orochi, they can't be used in online mode."

……

The meeting continued, and Liu Xiong continued to elaborate on the settings of some game platforms.

In fact, Liu Xiong has been conceiving the Feimeng game platform for a long time. Liu Xiong even thought about building a sales platform similar to STEAM!
But after market research, Liu Xiong found that this world is still somewhat different from the earth.

First of all, players all retain the habit of buying discs, and it is a long-term habit.

Compared with paying online and buying digital versions of games, players prefer to visit markets, shops, and buy discs as collections.

This is a consumption habit, and Liu Xiong may not be able to change it.

But in fact, consumption habits are not the main reason why Liu Xiong does not choose to make digital games.

The main reason is policy.

In addition to mobile games, it is difficult to obtain digital licenses for other stand-alone games on PC or console.

This policy restriction is largely due to the country's economic structure.

If you don't use CDs or cassettes, choose to download the digital version.That will hit disc manufacturers and distributors hard, and millions of jobs will disappear.

All in all, the country hopes to maintain the existing game system, and Liu Xiong has no intention of changing it for the time being.

Therefore, the Feimeng game platform will only be a platform for players to play, not a platform for buying games.

At this time, Ye Shen suddenly raised his hand and said: "The battle platform requires a lot of computing power and network bandwidth. If we maintain it for free, it will be a huge expense."

Kobayashi also said little by little: "Yes, free is too bad, especially now that King of Fighters is so popular. When there are more players, our cost will be very high."

"I suggest charging a certain fee. Although the country has policy restrictions on game network fees, if we lower the fee, it should still be acceptable."

"I don't want to make money, but at least keep my capital!"

Ye Shen and Xiao Lin, from the perspective of company management, persuaded Liu Xiong to charge the game platform.

But Hi Dog expressed Liu Xiong's thoughts: "I also support the boss's decision to make it free. The game platform is not a particularly profitable project. There are several other similar game platforms in the industry. Although there are many users, they are generally not able to Make a lot of money."

"I think the Feimeng game platform should still be free, in order to try to bind more users in a short period of time."

"As long as players become long-term users of the Feimeng game platform, it will be of great benefit to Feimeng's future game releases."

Liu Xiong nodded in satisfaction, what Hey Dog said was exactly what Liu Xiong was considering.

After all, the game platform is not a project to make a lot of money. Instead of charging fees, it is better to grab users for free forever.

As long as there are user resources, are you afraid that you will not be able to make money?
After coughing, Liu Xiong made a concluding speech: "Blood Lion does not have an online function, and there should not be many active players now. Hanging Blood Lion on the game platform is just to recharge the number, basically it will not cost anything."

"Warrior of the Three Kingdoms and The King of Fighters are now the period when games are the most popular. We will launch the game platform as soon as possible. While the popularity is still there, we can attract game users and make these two games a long-lived game!"

"Maintain a certain popularity for a long time, and have a certain sales volume for a long time."

"I believe that this long-term sales volume is definitely enough to maintain the normal operation of the game platform."

The development of a free game platform is such a happy decision.

Liu Xiong logged into Weibo and posted a message: "Feimeng Game Platform, please look forward to it."

And the comments below are boiling.

"Game platform! Are you going to connect to the King of Fighters?"

"Great! My Three Kingdoms War has been suffering from no friends!"

"Is it a PC-side platform? Does it support our Saturn users to connect?"

"I don't know if there is still hope for the online version of the blood lion? It's a lifetime."

"Support Feimeng! Support The King of Fighters!"

"Old man, my Iori Temple is already hungry and thirsty!"

Compared with developing games, developing a game platform is much simpler.

In addition, the Feimeng game platform does not have so many advertisements and recharge messy things, so the production is even easier.

In less than ten days, the beta version of the Feimeng game platform was successfully launched. Players can download the platform after logging in to the Feimeng game official website.

……

An uncomplicated game platform has achieved unexpected success after it went online!
The player groups of The Three Kingdoms and The King of Fighters have an unimaginable demand for online connection!
The game platform has been online for a week, and the daily peak online exceeds 45!
This online rate is amazing!
And one month after the game platform was launched, the daily peak online has also stabilized, 20 on weekdays and 25 on weekends!
The emergence of the game platform has given the players of the Three Kingdoms and King of Fighters a new fun.

This kind of fun not only brings joy to the players, but also brings quite good profits to Feimeng.

During this month, the Three Kingdoms and The King of Fighters went against the trend and sold another 150 million sets!

During this month, Liu Xiong basically gave the employees a long vacation.
