Forced to become an idol in order to make games

Chapter 234 The plan is completed

"What's the point of your design?"

Zhao Hanyun, who was behind Lu Yu, asked softly. At this time, Lu Yu had just written out all his designs, and since she didn't understand the game, she naturally asked whatever came to her mind.

Lu Yu replied while continuing to write.

"This design can turn the card pool into a gameplay. The basic routines of card-drawing games on the market are sold in disguise. Most players must reach that base number to get them. I don't like that kind of gameplay. Surprise, I personally like it better!"

Lu Yu didn't comment on the pros and cons of the two parties, but he made such a decision out of his own preferences. Naturally, the gameplay he chooses will be different for different purposes. Lu Yu's original purpose of designing this game was not to force Krypton It's a lie, otherwise he wouldn't have set the price of Shilian so low.

He still has a kind of end game development thinking to design mobile games, try his best to ensure that the game content can be experienced by all players, and krypton gold is just to make your experience better, and will not produce too much essence the difference.

And as he was writing, he finally knew why he felt awkward before. He forgot what the original intention and essence of fgo was.

This game has always occupied the top position in the industry with the oldest gameplay in the previous life. Countless players love and hate it, but the fundamental reason why it has been standing is that it is a purely plot fan-oriented game.

Its gameplay doesn’t need to be too amazing, as long as it maintains an average level, and it doesn’t need to be too pleasing, as long as it doesn’t make players feel annoying, as long as it meets the first two items, it can be matched with its epic plot and its ability to deal with heroic characters. The shaping of the game can ensure that all the players' dissatisfaction with these aspects will be resolved.

It is meaningless to discuss the cost-effectiveness brought by it on the basis of the characters you like and are emotionally invested in. It is just like the traffic niche in the entertainment industry. Even if it has various shortcomings, as long as it is only The remaining advantages are enough to make people like it, not to mention that fgo is not too bad in all aspects, and the average level is definitely there, so that it can be given such a status.

Lu Yu understood this point, so he knew why he felt awkward before. He always wanted to turn the fgo he made into a game that could match its magnificent plot, but in that case, the mobile game would not be able to present it perfectly at all. Even if it is a terminal game, it can only be completed after a short period of experimentation. You must know that even the games of the fate series in the previous life have never produced any AAA masterpieces, so you can imagine how difficult it is , that's why he always felt awkward.

"That's it, keep writing!"

Zhao Hanyun didn't say anything after listening, Lu Yu continued to write some other information, and Zhao Hanyun watched slowly.

After that, there are things about the friendliness system of heroic spirits, plot performances, collection of medicines and other things that enrich the content of the game. Lu Yu did not spend a long time writing these. After all, these only need to write down the direction in a few words. Others Naturally, a corresponding system will be designed in this direction, and there is no need for him to think too much.

At this time, Lu Yu stopped to think again. After all, this plan has come to an end, and the last system is the last krypton point of this game except for the heroic spirit in the card pool. That is the dress-up system.

You must know that a hero in fgo in the previous life has various forms, and the most famous Altria has more than a dozen different card faces, but fgo in the previous life is a card game. Although there are 3D modeling, but for the card For card games, it is nothing more than changing the face of a card, but in 3D action games, this form is not just as simple as changing the face of the card. After all, different forms have different skills. Just make a skin.

First, each one needs to be cultivated individually, and the changes cultivated are not only reflected on the card surface, but also have to be fed back to the characters.

Second, only one heroic spirit with the same name can be selected to play, and there cannot be two characters with the same name at the same time.

These two points are the basis of this system. Lu Yu will develop skins, but the skins will only have the same breakthrough skins as before. Swimsuits will naturally be designed as separate characters, and will also be matched with corresponding plots.

"Will the players accept this?"

Zhao Hanyun, who was behind her, asked again. She rejected this behavior of changing skins and selling the characters again from the bottom of her heart. Such a deceitful method, based on her experience, she felt that others should not accept it.

"Yes, and they'll have fun!"

Lu Yu is very confident. In the current environment, he doesn't think that players will not be able to accept his sincere change of skin.

"Really? Is game player's money so easy to cheat?"

"It's not that they are easy to cheat, it's that they have no choice, just like the bad money driving out the good money in the entertainment industry. There are good games, but they can't help them!"

Lu Yu shook his head and sighed, Zhao Hanyun behind him asked.

"So there is no choice? I have heard the names of some good games, can't those be not good?"

"Sure, let's talk about the differences between the games here!"

Lu Yu stopped his hands and feet, and the plan was almost finished. After Lu Yu sent it directly to Wang Pengtao, he turned around and said with a smile.

"Games can be divided into three categories at the current stage, mobile games, online games, and stand-alone games. These three represent different player groups and different preferences! And the directions they target are also very different!"

Zhao Hanyun immediately sat down and listened quietly. Although she doesn't understand games, she has a thirst for knowledge about everything she doesn't understand, otherwise she wouldn't like to read books in her spare time.

“Let’s talk about the stand-alone first. The main feature of the stand-alone is the buyout system. It’s the same as a movie. You can watch it once and twice at home alone, but it’s impossible to watch the same thing every day. There will also be a certain degree of hysteresis, coupled with the high price threshold of the game itself, so no matter how good it is, it will not be too long before it can attract players, and a week to a month is already the limit!"

"It's like you watched a movie and you thought it was good, but when you want to communicate with people, others haven't watched it or are unwilling to pay for the tickets. You have also lost the motivation to promote it, and this kind of Communication must be based on what you have already read, and its inherent lag limits it.”

"And the most important thing about online games is that they can communicate without any lag, and they have good sociality. People are a kind of social animal, just like watching a movie alone at home or watching a movie in a movie theater. You can follow along with you. The plot gets all kinds of real-time feedback, which will naturally make people stay for a long time."

"Moreover, online games mainly feature a multi-payment model. Players themselves have to pay for the updated content of each version of the game, and there is no single-time threshold as high as that of a stand-alone game. But because of this, the money invested by players will increase over time. More and more, even if you have never recharged money, the cost of time is also a cost, and it will naturally make more money than a single machine!"

"The last thing is mobile games. Mobile games are actually an intermediate mentality between stand-alone games and online games. They have both the content of stand-alone games and the social nature of online games, and cooperate with excellent portable devices such as mobile phones. As long as there is a mobile phone, it will become a potential user, and the user base of mobile phones is much larger than that of computers."

"Combined with the set of experience learned from online games, and the development cost itself is not high, as long as there is a set of excellent templates, combined with its convenient attributes, many people will pay for it, compared to online games. More than that!"

Lu Yu looked at Zhao Hanyun who was deep in thought, smiled slightly, and then continued.

"A good stand-alone game is the same as a classic movie, but this kind of consumption is one-time. The movie market is the same. No matter how good your movie is, it can't prevent bad movies from making money. Someone is going to pay them, isn't it?"

"And an excellent online game is like a TV series. Every update may be good or bad, but it always makes people look forward to it."

"But mobile games are different. The difficulty of its own development lies there. As long as you can get the first sum of money, you don't have to worry about not being able to get the second and third sums later."

"Combined with the huge user base, the difficulty for mobile game manufacturers to make money can be imagined. It does not need to have an excellent core like a stand-alone online game, as long as it has a glamorous appearance, people can be attracted by it at first sight. , with a huge user base, there is no need to worry about making money. And capital is profit-seeking. Now that this plan has been successful, all manufacturers will start to learn this way, and the market will naturally become lifeless, and innovation will It became a difficult option."

"So players have no choice, they can only pick the ones that are still passable in a pile of garbage, but compared to what you said, garbage is still garbage!"

When Lu Yu said this, he stopped. Zhao Hanyun also understood at this time, and asked immediately.

"Then they can't refuse?"

"Of course you can refuse, but games are things that make people relax. Under the current social pressure, although there are many entertainment methods, compared with mobile games, the price is not lower than it, and some are even much higher. , Young people also have a certain aversion to socializing. Mobile games, which can be used to relax in their spare time, have naturally become the choice of most people. If you let them suddenly refuse, what kind of decompression should they choose? What about the means?"

Lu Yu smiled. The rise of mobile games is largely due to this, not only its huge equipment base, but also the social fatigue caused by the huge pressure on young people in society, and there is not much rest time in itself. , Other means of entertainment are more expensive and time-consuming than mobile games, so they will naturally become their best choice.

"That's right, if you really set the price according to your price, even if it's a bit more expensive, it's actually not that expensive. Compared with other entertainment activities, the price is indeed not cheap!"

Zhao Hanyun nodded. In addition to filming and reading books, she usually also has some entertainment activities, such as the car racing before. The price of that game is enough to buy a lot of orders in a game like Lu Yu, and even if it is not Counting these, other consumption will not be too low.

"Cough cough."

Lu Yu was directly choked by Zhao Hanyun's analogy with herself. People like her are not the target users of the game at all, and most people can't do the entertainment like her, but there is nothing wrong with her analogy. up.

"what happened?"

"nothing!"

Lu Yu looked at Zhao Hanyun who was throwing questioning eyes at him and waved his hands again and again. Zhao Hanyun also saw this and didn't continue to ask. He only thought that Lu Yu had choked on the tea, and then said.

"Okay, your plan is finished, go out and see how their food is doing? You have to go back to Jinghua later!"

"Well, then go out and have a look, but I have to wait a while, I'll check today's development progress!"

Lu Yu didn't refuse, but when he sent an email just now, he saw the daily report sent by Wang Pengtao, so he naturally wanted to read it first, so that he could make some arrangements.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you, but you are doing mobile games and stand-alone games, aren't you afraid that you will be too busy?"

Zhao Hanyun didn't say much, but asked curiously, and Lu Yu laughed while opening the game.

"There's no rush here, the development of this mobile game is not too difficult, I do this just as a pure interest, mainly on a single machine, just like the entertainment industry, standing at the top It will always be the work of the best movie, it may not be a blockbuster, but it must be a classic in itself."

"The same is true for games. No matter how profitable online games and mobile games are, their status in the hearts of players cannot be compared to a classic stand-alone game. An online mobile game can run for five years, ten years, or even 20 years, but one day it will be replaced by various new games, but a classic stand-alone, just like those classic movies of the last century, even if it is taken out after ten, 20, or even 100 years, their There may be differences in gameplay, but these are all technical issues, and the content itself is excellent enough and will never become outdated!”

Lu Yu sees this very clearly, and this is why he has always insisted on single player, even if it is the game he wants to make the most. Lu Yu will never forget the joy brought by playing a classic game Experience, that is simply not comparable to online games.

"The goal is set very high, I don't know if the player you mentioned will buy your account!"

"Don't worry, Sister Hanyun, the saying that if you never forget, there will be echoes also applies to this. As long as you put your heart into it, the players will feel it!"

Lu Yu laughed while looking at the report, Zhao Hanyun hummed after hearing it, and didn't say anything else, quietly waiting for Lu Yu to finish, and with Zhao Hanyun staring behind him, Lu Yu also watched quickly this time, three times and five times Er read the report, wrote a few comments, and sent them directly to Wang Pengtao, turned off the computer and walked out with Zhao Hanyun.
