Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 675 The magic version of "Temple Run" is finally online
At the end of October.

The "Mobile Game Development Team" finally produced "Temple Run".

Thanks to the help of [Thunder Development Engine], a lot of time is saved.

As for the results—

"It's interesting."

Tian Moyun seriously experienced this "Temple Run", which is completely different from the original version, and he felt more pleasantly surprised.

Because the modified version is indeed much more exciting than the original.

The wonderfulness mentioned here does not refer to the picture quality and special effects, but the gameplay.

The modified version of "Temple Run" still follows the control method of sliding up, down, left, and right, but in addition, many new gameplays have been added, some of which refer to console racing games.

In addition, in the game mode, in addition to the endless mode, it also adds a story mode, combination breakthrough mode, network competition mode, friend points ranking mode, etc.

Story mode... Tian Moyun doesn't really want to comment on this.

Maybe it's because most of the girls in the development team have the right to speak, so in terms of the plot... just refer to the female channel happy article.

Moreover, in the design of the painting style of the story mode, it also focuses more on the whole age group. Compared with the original game painting style, it is a little more cute.

Tian Moyun wasn't very interested in this, but if it was Su Qiong, Tian Wenwen and the others, maybe they would still like this...

Combination mode... as the name suggests.

The two mobile phone users fled together through the LAN mode.

Of course, it's not just as simple as running away, there are also many combination games, such as collecting materials to exchange for acceleration skills and the like.

The points obtained by the two players are not separately distinguished. Both players are obliged to collect points when fleeing, but at the same time, both players can exchange skills at will.

"We thought this place would be a great place to foster friendship."

A girl in the development team said weakly.

enhance friendship?

Why do I feel like this is promoting friendship?
He knows that this kind of gameplay looks good, but the premise is that the two players have enough understanding and generosity, otherwise... Hehe.

How dare you use the points I have accumulated so hard without saying hello?
Why is it that I am accumulating points, why do you know how to sit back and enjoy the benefits?
Anyway... it's very interesting to think about it.

of course.

Tian Moyun didn't give any suggestions or objections. He even thought it was a good game mode.

The game of friendship... It's not like he hasn't done it before.

Like the original "Squirrel Wars", you can also pick up your teammates and throw them out.

And horizontal version of the game like "Contra", you can also "borrow" the lives of your teammates without saying hello.

In addition, there is "Snowman Brothers", where a snowball stunned teammates... not a few.

Compared with those, these interns are not cruel enough.

Thinking of this, Tian Moyun couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at, senior?"

Someone is puzzled.

"I think this 'Combination Breakthrough Mode' is not interesting enough."

Tian Moyun explained: "You can expand your thinking further, for example: two people can attack each other while running, the player behind can throw rockets, and the player in front can plant mines... If one of them fails, the other can get All rewards for the loser, and a rookie medal to the opponent."

hiss!
So sinister!
So vicious!
What a ruthless man!

The interns were all shocked and didn't know what to say.

Who would dare to think of such a game?Who dares to do it?
This is no longer a possibility of exhausting friends, but 100% exhaustion of friends, what a fucking trap.

Are you not afraid that people will fight directly while playing?

"Hahaha, just kidding."

Tian Moyun smiled, as for whether it was really a joke, only he knew.

keep playing-

In addition to the combined checkpoint mode, there are also online competitions and friend points rankings.

The online race is a bit similar to the online racing game, the difference in gameplay and mode is not big.

As for the friend points ranking, it refers to games such as "Flying Bird", and uses this friend's winning mentality to promote the enthusiasm of players and increase user stickiness.

……

How should I put it, the overall playing experience of "Temple Run" after the magic reform is still very good.

Compared with the original version, it feels much more fun. It completely follows the design draft and has made a lot of "re-creation" on the basis.

Some clues can be seen from it. These interns who have not graduated from college already have the foundation to become "prepared designers". In time, they may become good designers.

"pretty good."

Tian Moyun said lightly: "Next, let's talk about a very important question... What do you think is the right price for this game?"

pricing?

Everyone looked at each other.

They never thought about it.

When developing Plants vs. Zombies and Angry Birds, no one asked for their "advice" on pricing.

The interns are very clear about their position. They are just a group of migrant workers. They are already very excited to come here for an internship. I don’t know how many students are envious.

Product pricing... It's really not something they can consider.

"If you want to become a qualified game designer, you must not only know how to make a game, but also know how to operate it, how to price it, and how to make a profit..."

Tian Moyun said slowly: "I can see that you people are still a bit ambitious, you don't want to be programmers or artists for a lifetime, do you?"

"Becoming a game designer is not an easy task. There are many things to learn, and how to set prices is one of them."

"For the game "Temple Run", I only provided a general idea. You are the ones who actually make this game, so... now I will give you a chance to provide profit suggestions."

"It's not just an opportunity. If the first month's profit of this game exceeds 500 million, then I will give you about 1% of the first month's net profit as a reward."

"These rewards are extra. Whether you can get them and how much you can get depends on your own abilities."

……

This is the idea that Tian Moyun came up with.

He doesn't want to train programmers, because there are too many qualified programmers. Looking at the entire industry, programmers are just like typists, and they are simply inexhaustible.

Game designers are different.

A qualified game designer is a very valuable and scarce resource throughout the industry.

【Happy Game Company】There is no shortage of programmers, but excellent designers with imagination, creativity and business talent.

The talents of these interns in front of them are quite good.

Although they are far inferior to "prepared designers", as long as they have the potential and talent, and are willing to study hard, the future will be bright.

Tian Moyun is too bored right now.

He originally wanted to set the price according to the previous two games, but suddenly felt that it was not appropriate.

Mystery Run is different from Plants vs. Zombies and Angry Birds.

There are two points.

First, the playability of "Temple Run" is not as good as the latter two. Even if a lot of supplements are made, it is still difficult to change the problem that the gameplay tends to lose its freshness.

Second, "Temple Run" has requirements such as online login and online competition, which is somewhat different from the stand-alone casual games of the first two works, and the cost is higher.

This also caused Tian Moyun to reconsider the price and even the charging model.

then--

Tian Moyun, who was too lazy to think about this, simply "good people do it to the end" and asked these interns to provide "suggestions".

It's advice, not pricing power.

Tian Moyun would not completely delegate power to these interns, there was no need for that, and if they were given, they wouldn't dare to take it.

Give them a qualification to provide advice. If it is reasonable, Tian Moyun will of course agree, but if it is too outrageous, then he will not.

But that's unlikely to happen.

After all, we are all grown-ups, and we should think about things more objectively and calmly. It doesn't matter if we don't have enough experience. Reasonable advice can still be given.

On the one hand, Tian Moyun was lazy.

On the other hand, there is indeed some intention to test them.

……

"Pricing according to the previous two games, it seems to be okay, right?"

Someone said uncertainly.

"It doesn't seem to be possible. It was originally a stand-alone game, but it turned out to be an online game, and the extra cost will be high."

Intern two shook his head: "I think it is necessary to consider this factor, so the price should be slightly increased."

"The additional cost of online games is continuous, and if the game is bought out, it will have to bear additional costs after the game is sold..."

Intern three expressed a different opinion: "I think it is more appropriate to simply make the game an in-app purchase payment. We can continuously launch new content to stimulate consumption and maintain a relatively long-lasting revenue growth, similar to the way of launching DLC."

The intern three's words made everyone stunned.

Then, they started discussing in-app purchases and the possibility of launching DLC.

"..."

Seeing how enthusiastic they were discussing, Tian Moyun didn't know what to say for a while.

In-app purchase and payment for free mobile games... Is this cheating model finally going to be launched on my side?
Tian Moyun must admit that this operating model should be the best in the field of "leisure mobile games".

Because mobile phone users who play this kind of games don't want to spend money on the games themselves, if the games are free, they must be more interested.

As for some of the routines to promote consumption... when it comes to the itch, I think they will not refuse.

In the previous life on the earth, why did the buyout mobile game not beat the in-app purchase mobile game?
The rampant piracy is one aspect, but the more important reason... probably lies in the interests, right?
How much money can you make by buying out mobile games?
A game sells for 10 yuan, and it is the limit to sell millions of copies worldwide.

How much is this?Just tens of millions.

It sounds like a lot, but if you compare it with in-app purchase mobile games... I’m afraid it’s not even a fraction.

Take Plants vs. Zombies and Angry Birds.

If it is not made into a buyout system, but an internal purchase system, I am afraid that the benefits that will be reaped in the end will increase dozens of times...

Although doing so will lead to word-of-mouth explosion (derogatory), but in the face of their own interests, how many people will care about the interests of players?

Tian Moyun could choose to kill himself for the sake of word of mouth, but if it were any other game company, he probably wouldn't make such a "stupid" decision.

After all, the essence of the company is for profit, and they are more willing to make the game a product that makes a lot of money, rather than some shit.

far away...

Tian Moyun doesn't like the in-app purchase mobile game model.

But he is very clear that any kind of profit model can exist for a long time, and there must be a reason for its existence.

The Internet free model beats the paid model, and free games beat paid games. This is in itself a choice of the times and a choice of human nature.

Just like in the previous life, the players yelled at the game makers, scolding them until their hearts were blackened, but they played while scolding.

It's really like that sentence: the mouth says no, but the body is very honest.

Tian Moyun can't afford to despise in-app purchase mobile games.

Players like free games, producers like free games, and distributors also like free games... What a joyous atmosphere.

and so--

When he found out that the group of interns in front of him wanted to make "Temple Run" an in-app purchase model, Tian Moyun didn't stop him, but found it interesting.

He hasn't forgotten that the original version of this game...is a scam.

……

The interns discussed for a long time.

In the end they came up with a very interesting profit model.

The main body of the game is free to download, the endless mode is free to play, and the story mode needs to be paid by chapter. Each chapter has 50 levels and costs 3 yuan, a total of 10 chapters.

The online mode needs to be activated at a price of 2 yuan/month. At the same time, in-app purchases for skins are provided. Only skins and special effects are provided, and there is no tampering in the game.

Hmm...that's kind of a conscience.

This mode can not only make more money, but also avoid exhaustion, and will not damage the life of the game.

Even, making "Temple Run" into the current model is more conducive to the update of later versions, but prolongs the life of the game.

"Just do as you say."

Tian Moyun didn't have any other opinions, but said lightly: "It's as long as you think it's appropriate, modify the profit model as soon as possible, and then launch the two system platforms."

I mentioned it to them before.

"Temple Run" will be launched on [Starry Sky OS] and [Dragon Map OS] at the same time, so that all smartphone users can play... and it's free to play.

Tian Moyun had a vague premonition.

This modified version of "Temple Run" may open a new chapter in the era of mobile games.

Fortunately, it is not a pit.

Tian Moyun didn't want his accumulated reputation to be ruined by such a mobile game.

……

11 month.

[Longtu Technology], together with [Longtu OS Technology Company], and many shareholder forces, launched the "Longtu Mobile Game Developer Program" with an investment of 10 billion yuan.

As soon as this news came out, the game circle was boiling a lot.

"I knew [Long Tu] would definitely not just watch over here."

"It's so lively now. Both sides are holding mobile game plans at the same time. Even those old game manufacturers won't watch it?"

"[Thunderbolt] and [Dragon Scale] are the biggest giants in the game industry. Even console game manufacturers may join in the fun."

"I think this is a good opportunity. [Starry Sky Technology] is too competitive. [Longtu] should be better."

"It would be great if I could participate in the selection of the two platforms at the same time."

"You're thinking farts, people pay to improve their own system ecology, not to give benefits to outsiders."

"In any case, this is a good thing. Try the [Starry Sky Technology] side first, and if it doesn't work, go to the other side."

"Two chances, double the fun."

……

Not only the game circle is boiling, but even ordinary netizens are joining in the fun.

"[Longtu] has finally heard something. To be honest, I'm really envious to see those students who bought [Xing Kong phone] having fun."

"At first, I was hesitating whether to change my mobile phone, but now it seems that I can wait and see."

"I hope [Longtu Mobile Game Developer Program] can be more decent and produce some fun games, otherwise I will be laughed at by the other side sooner or later."

"The requirements are not high, just a few games like "Plants vs. Zombies" or "Angry Birds."

"The probability of the genuine version is not high, but there may be a few high imitation versions, hahaha."

"I don't know if Boss Tian will develop an exclusive game for [Longtu OS]. It seems that the probability is not high."

"The probability is indeed not high. After all, the two parties are now in a competitive relationship, but who knows what Boss Tian is thinking."

"Otherwise, let's go to Boss Tian's Weibo account to read blood written by thousands of people?"

"Forget it, people won't talk to you, and if you really dare to play like this, Boss Tian's fans can scold you for doubting your life."

……

at the same time.

"Temple Run" was launched on the [Starry Sky OS] platform quietly.

It's not under Tian Moyun's name.

After all, this game has nothing to do with Tian Moyun himself. He just created an infrastructure, but 90% of the work is done by those interns.

"After all, it's not my achievement. It's not appropriate to put it under my name. I will explain on Weibo that you did it."

Tian Moyun said with a smile.

The interns looked at each other and were very moved. They felt that the senior was really a good person with both character and learning. No wonder the teachers and leaders of the school were full of praise and the public evaluation in the society was so high.

But they didn't notice that Su Qiong's eyes flashed strangely beside him.

Others don't know why Tian Moyun did this, but she gets along with him day and night, how can she not know what kind of person this guy is?
He must be worried that the word-of-mouth explosion of this game (derogatory meaning) will affect his reputation, making people think that he is exhausted.

After all, it's hard to say whether the players are willing to accept "Temple Run" being changed into this look.

Instead of evading cleanliness at that time, it is better to explain at the beginning that this was done by a group of interns.

Who is Tian Moyun?
If it's good, can he get it for himself?

Is there a disadvantage that he can take it on himself?
It's just that this group of young people can't understand, and they really regard this guy as some kind of virtuous saint.

Routine, all are routines.

Su Qiong sighed in her heart. At the beginning, she didn't know people well, so she fell into this guy's routine, and then fell into the big pit step by step, ruining her beautiful youth.

Especially now, even his whole body is involved.

Thinking of this, Su Qiong didn't want to sympathize with these young people anymore. Compared with them, it seemed that she had been tricked a little bit worse.

They were just painted big cakes, but she even got involved with her whole body.

……

that's it.

"Temple Run" was launched quietly.

Free download/in-app purchase payment mode is adopted.

At the same time, Tian Moyun also posted on Weibo, the content is as follows:

"[Happy Games] has a new group of juniors here, and they are also the production teams of "Plants vs. Zombies" and "Angry Birds."

"Now, they have designed a new game independently. The newcomers are original and the ideas are very interesting. This is something to be encouraged."

"A 3D adventure game produced by the rookie team - "Temple Run", has officially launched [Starry Sky OS] and [Dragon Map OS] dual versions."

"Users of [Xingkong Phone] can search and download in the [Software Store], and [Longtu OS] mobile phones can click and download from the genuine link entry in the official Weibo of [Happy Games], or you can search through the [Starry Sky Search] ] to obtain it, please look for the official genuine website to prevent network viruses.”

"Note: "Temple Run" is a game with in-app purchase mode. It is free to download and experience. You can decide whether to pay according to your needs. It doesn't cost much, so don't worry."

……

Not long after Tian Moyun's Weibo was posted, [Happy Game Official Account] also updated the news.

The statements from both sides are very obvious. The name was made by the interns of "Emperor Capital University". At the same time, "Plants vs. Zombies" and "Angry Birds", two popular mobile games that are currently popular, are enough to make netizens We will deepen our impression of these interns.

"New game!"

"Recently, this efficiency is really high enough, but this time it seems to be original."

"The original game of the rookie team...is it playable?"

"Ahem, we should show some face, after all, they are the production team that Boss Tian established, and "Plants vs. Zombies" and "Angry Birds" are both very good. It can be seen that the production team's skills are quite reliable. of."

"It's like a help chef in a hotel. Although it's far behind a chef, at least the basic skills are still there."

"Why bother so much? Just play around and see, it doesn't cost money anyway."

"There is still a difference between free download and pure free. "Blood Sword Heroes" is still a free game, haha."

"I'll go, how long is the memory of "Legend of the Blood Sword Hero"? Does anyone still remember it now?"

"Why don't you remember? When it was revealed that a certain boss spent tens of millions of dollars...I was so impressed by this incident."

"It's off topic, let's watch the new game."

Sand sculpture netizens giggled, and then followed the prompts to download "Temple Run".

【Starry Sky OS】The players here are relatively calm.

But many users of [Longtu OS] next door were almost moved to tears. They looked at the next door laughing and laughing every day, and then saw that there was no movement on their own side. The gap was too great.

And now, those born to their stepmothers...have new games to play?
……

Neither Tian Moyun nor Su Qiong paid much attention to this matter.

They have experienced too many things like the launch of the game, and they are accustomed to going through the process, so they have no sense of expectation at all.

But the interns are different. They refresh the Weibo post bar frequently, wanting to see the feedback from the players.

They look nervous, like a web writer who is on the street and alone, looking forward to readers' comments, but also worried that readers will give bad reviews...

"Actually, there's no need to be nervous."

Tian Moyun smiled meaningfully: "What's the point of giving a bad review? The saddest thing is that there is no bad review...isn't it?"

Interns: "..."

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case, there are not even bad reviews... That means that the players are not even interested in downloading.

This is so uncomfortable.
