Genius Game Planning

Chapter 54 Determination of the content of the subsequent development version of the game

After winning the big order, Liu Neng's personal psychology has actually become flat, and he will not fight for money in particular. He mainly thinks about how to develop subsequent versions and establish new game projects.In his view, in this world, the game industry has great potential.

Liu Neng told Liu Fei the follow-up expansion plan of "Happy Farm", and pointed out a few key points, and then let him complete the rest of the plan independently.Games like this kind of game are actually not particularly difficult. In addition, there are currently existing "Happy Farm" gems in front of them. case written.

Although Liu Fei was born in Yeluzi, it doesn't mean he doesn't have this ability.The only thing Liu Neng needs to finalize is the value setting of the new game, because as far as the Happy Farm series of games are concerned, apart from the social aspect, the value cannot be collapsed and must be developed step by step.This kind of game can only reach the later stage in a few months or even a year or two. If you set an unreachable value, for example, you need billions of gold coins to upgrade the black land, and the daily gold coin income is only tens of thousands , then the player is likely to give up the game directly looking at the unreachable upgrade fee.

As for the "Happy Ranch", "Happy Grocery Store" and "Happy Town" series, what needs to be done is how to achieve data linkage and data exchange between games.

Simply put, this can be regarded as a large and complete simulation development game, but due to the tight time in the early stage, only a small part of the content is released, and then gradually expanded; this approach is similar to the general game that only opens a few This is a simple system gameplay, although the consumption of content later will open up more and deeper gameplay for them to continue to experience.

But there is another more serious problem in this way, that some props that are more valuable in the early stage are worthless in the later stage.This requires a strong numerical structure to ensure that the numerical values ​​of the game do not crash.For players, the collapse of values ​​means that the previous money and energy are wasted; for game manufacturers, this is fatal, which means that the early game content loses any meaning even if it has not been fully developed. The life cycle of the game will also be greatly shortened.

In the previous life of the "Happy Farm" series, strictly speaking, there were only two browser games, "Farm" and "Ranch".Liu Neng has expanded the game to four here. On the one hand, the life cycle of the game has been extended. On the other hand, these small games have been launched successively in a short period of time, which is equivalent to perfecting the entire gameplay.In the end, according to Liu Neng's design plan, the game is a simulation game with "Happy Town" as the core, and Happy Farm and Happy Ranch are just the early game content of the series.He hopes that through these four games, the various employees in the Venus Game Studio can complete the running-in as soon as possible, so as to prepare for the future development of new games.

In addition, it is the writing of the game plan for the follow-up version of "Don't Step on White Blocks".This small game has already been sold to Feiliu Chuangyu. Liu Neng actually has a little affection for it. After all, it is the first game he planned and developed after he came to this world. Although the volume is really small , But let yourself earn the first pot of gold.

This task was not left to Liu Fei, but to complete the new version of the plan in person.

In the new version, Liu Neng has added the following content to the game:
1. Added multiple leaderboards, including unlocked track leaderboards, total score leaderboards, total score leaderboards for all tracks, etc.;

2. Added a friend system, and added a friend leaderboard, which allows players to check their ranking among friends;
3. Added a new way of accessing advertisements, mainly focusing on two aspects, one is that when the tap fails, it can be resurrected by watching advertisements; the other is that it can unlock tracks by watching advertisements;

4. Added an interface for accessing tracks, so that Feiliu Entertainment can freely access more tracks. With such a large entertainment energy of Feiliu, all its songs can be added to the game;

5. Added a new battle method, that is, players can invite friends or strangers to open a room and score the tracks together. This is the core content of this version update;
6. Added value-added services such as avatar frames and name frames. Through activities, consumption, rankings, etc., you can get different privilege decorations such as avatar frames and text boxes.

So many of them are relatively mature system gameplays, which are rich enough for this small game.Feiliu Chuangyu has a big business. In fact, this small game is not a great creation for them, but Liu Neng still hopes for one thing. They spent more than 100 million to buy this game. Make a profit, not a loss-making business.

In this way, there will be no embarrassment in meeting with Feiliu Chuangyu in the future.

On the 15th, the game "Happy Farm" was delivered to Tengfei Technology. They will conduct a series of tests on the game, and then need to integrate it into the qc space.The specific launch date is not controlled by Liu Neng.But Hu Yuehai roughly sent Liu Neng the timetable to look at, and there will be a warm-up in the next few days, and the official launch date is three days later, that is, on the 18th.

Before that, Wan Binglin arrived in Guanghua City, and Liu Neng arranged for Xu Jiaojiao, the vice president of the company, to go to the airport to receive him in person.

On the same day, Wan went to the studio to "inspect" without hesitation. After seeing the "dirty and messy" environment, Wan Binglin felt a little bit at a disadvantage.

Liu Neng asked Wan Binglin, "Do you think it's a disadvantage to exchange 25% of the company's shares for my 10% shares?"

"I let you say everything, I don't know what to say." Wan Binglin spread his hands helplessly.

"Actually, I still feel that I have lost money." Liu Neng smiled and invited him to sit down in the conference room, "I'm afraid you don't understand now, but I think you will understand after a long time. The campus network was renamed two days ago It’s called Laoyou.com, doesn’t it feel that the pressure is in vain?”

"I let you say what I want to say again." Wan Binglin now doubts whether the so-called roundworms in his stomach are real, "Mr. Liu has any experience?"

"You are 20 years older than me, how can I have the qualifications to teach you?" Liu Neng said, "But it's okay to teach you. As I said, it doesn't matter whether you listen or not. The SNS social model is in China. If you want to To grow bigger, we need to do some localization work, instead of simply taking Facebook from abroad, otherwise it will be absolutely unacceptable.”

"I have thought about this, but I want to hear your opinion."

"Social communication, to put it bluntly, is to form a relationship chain between people. The earliest theoretical basis of SNS social networking is the theory of six degrees of separation. I won't talk about this theory. You must know it, Brother Wan. But through acquaintances of acquaintances Social network expansion should not be the whole of social networking. You should also find ways to have other recommendation mechanisms that can break this simple six-degree separation theory, such as recommendations based on common topics, such as recommendations based on hobbies, which can form Some relatively larger groups also help more people form greater enthusiasm around the same goal..."
