Plural Apostles

Thoughts were spinning in Hill's mind, she responded, and ran out of the office with a thud, and she opened the door a few minutes later and came back, followed by a middle-aged man in his forties wearing glasses.

This is Siegfried's designated blame man, the employee who blamed for the follow-up content update of "The Conflict of the Great World" and other problems. If anything goes wrong, he will scold the planner. Siegfried has made arrangements for the planner to receive an interview from the media to attract the collective firepower of the players.

Because there is a bonus for being blamed, this old fritter who has nearly ten years of work experience said that he is fully capable of taking on this task. Anyway, no matter whether the player scolds himself or praises himself, it will not bring him any benefits. If scolding himself can bring In terms of benefits, it's no big deal to let them scold you, just treat yourself as deaf and blind.

But Cheng Guangrui was a little strange, why the boss suddenly came to him, and said that he was discussing preparations for new game development... Could it be that the boss is here again? !

As for the little secretary girl who suddenly appeared today, Cheng Guangrui felt that it was not something worth caring about, or that he couldn't care about it.

"Old Cheng, today I want to ask you something, what game do you think will be popular now?"

Just as his butt was on the chair across from the desk, Cheng Guangrui heard these words, his head ached, boss, you are here again!

"Boss, whether the game is popular or not is actually a matter of luck. After all, we don't know whether the game we make will be welcomed by players and make them willing to spend money for the game. At present, there are still many people who will I feel that spending money in the game is a kind of treasonous behavior." Cheng Guangrui tried to fool this matter, so that he would not have to take the blame for the boss's next whim, "I'm not sure about this, interesting and fun games are popular , This is something that everyone knows, but what is considered interesting, how is it considered fun... I am not sure about this."

Siegfried crossed his hands and rested his chin on the back of his hand. He seemed to look at Cheng Guangrui with a slight smile: "Old Cheng... When I just poached you from a game studio four years ago, you swore that I can definitely make an explosive game by myself, but I just need financial support."

Cheng Guangrui smiled embarrassingly. Obviously, the results at the beginning were not satisfactory, and later he became a programmer in charge of game data maintenance. He has been working as a programmer until now. Although the salary is high, his hair is getting thinner day by day.

"Although I have been involved in this aspect, I am a businessman thinking, and the game itself is a commodity... I want to ask you, what kind of game do you think can make money in the current environment." Zieg Fei put down his hand and looked at Cheng Guangrui at a level, "You should have your own opinion on this, Lao Cheng, right? A game with exquisite graphics created with huge investment? A game that focuses on content writing, plot arrangement and gameplay? Online games ?Single-player game?Mobile game?I have played a lot of various games, but no matter what kind of game, there will always be people who say bad things. This is normal. What I want to know is why some games can It’s hot? It can make money from consumers.”

"..."

Cheng Guangrui scratched his head, he frowned and pondered for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "Boss, I have been making games for so many years, boss, you usually play a lot of games... Generally speaking, those paid stand-alone games that flow in from abroad, compared with the most profitable domestic games, which side has better quality?"

"In terms of quality, of course it is those paid stand-alone works abroad. Even if they are not masterpieces, occasionally there will be works with very interesting gameplay." Siegfried smiled, "I played a gameplay before that was actually The game of Xiaoxiaole, on the surface, is packaged with the content of galgame, and I used two days of spare time to clear that game."

"And then?" Cheng Guangrui sighed, with a self-deprecating smile, "Boss, did you spend time on that game afterwards?"

Siegfried frowned slightly, and shook his head: "It seems that I don't have much interest in continuing to play many games after clearing them once, even if some games have been updated later..."

"Maybe this is the difference brought about by different cultures... From the perspective of products, those games with ideas and innovations, excluding those games that are really boring and not fun, even if they are successful games, still won't let us How long most players linger, pass the level, achieve the goal, and pass.”

Cheng Guangrui said calmly: "For stand-alone games, living long means how many sequels have been released. For players, how long can a game be played by itself... In China, it is exactly the kind of clock-in at work. Stable and updated games survive longer on players’ devices, games themselves are entertainment, and in this era of fast food, it is precisely feelings that can bind players…”

"Moreover, compared to paid stand-alone players, our players prefer the free game krypton gold. In the past... when that project failed, I made a special investigation and found that many players who thought the game was expensive were actually not good at other games. In the game, you can recharge several times the money casually, boss, if you want to make money, we can just make this kind of game."

"For example, the current otaku culture, because of the large audience, has gradually developed between capital operations. As long as there are excellent painters and artists, coupled with reasonable game mechanism design, and then find a copywriter to write the game plot, through free limited liver Keep the vitality and fun of the game, control the progress of the game, and then match it with a huge momentum, and publicity in all aspects will do. One point, boss, you can buy the copyrights of some popular entertainment works, which can save a lot of effort.”

Siegfried nodded slightly, thinking about the things in the plan, many of which coincided with what Cheng Guangrui said: "Of course I want to make a money-making game...Old Cheng, what do you have?" Thoughts?"

"I really don't know about that."

Cheng Guangrui shook his head. Even if he understands this kind of thing, how to do it to make money, what kind of thinking to use, how much to invest, etc., all require the boss to make up his mind. Enough is enough, and the next things can't be mixed by themselves.

games that make money...

It seems that I still have to investigate and study, and I will consult some game workers by the way.

Siegfried stretched his waist, looked at Hill who had been standing quietly by the side all the time: "Okay, let's go, secretary, let's have a meal, and go shopping in the afternoon."

Hill blinked confusedly.

……

……

In the small villa she bought, Bronya was wearing headphones and was concentrating on the screen.

Amidst the sound of the door opening with a click, Hill tiptoed into the house, and then closed the door.

"Sister Bronya!" Hill's tone became more serious, "Hill is back!"

Bronya temporarily put down the game. She took off her earphones, turned her chair calmly, and faced Hill at the door: "Go shopping?"

"That's right, the bunch of things Siegfried bought me must be for the purpose of making connections or something." Hill kicked the pile of bags he had put on the ground, "What kind of messy high-grade beef... By the way Siegfried also asked me to be his secretary for some idle time, sister Bronya, you..."

"Bronya has no opinion." Bronya's calm expression made Hill a little discouraged, and the little girl snorted: "Sister Bronya, you really came up with such a bad idea this time, how can you be so stupid?" First time meeting?"

"As long as it's useful."

Bronya took out a bag of potato chips from Hill's bag and opened it, squeezed out a few pieces and handed them to Hill. Hill opened his mouth and bit, chewing: "Hill, Siegfried is right What does the plan say?"

"Hehe, I managed to get past it. Siegfried still seems to be suspicious of someone behind me... In addition, he put forward a condition that he only signed the contract after I showed him the finished product. And he seems to be working on a new game himself."

"That's it... It seems that I don't have much time to play games."

Chapter 820 Three You Need a Wife!

"First of all, we need to understand the audience of a game. If we want to sell something, we naturally need to understand what kind of buyers will demand it, and then we can make money from buyers. The audience is those office workers who usually don't have much time to play games..."

Siegfried was in a meeting, and Hill was watching a group of people in the conference room boredly. This serious atmosphere made her feel uninteresting. Anyway, no matter what Siegfried did in the end, he would choose Brioni It's a game developed by Sister Ya.

"There are many types of game mechanics and styles. In fact, we can find that most domestic players are more willing to pay for mobile games, and the game life of mobile games is longer than that of stand-alone games. It’s much higher, I researched it, and compared to stand-alone games, under the rules of mobile games, the game ideas and gameplay are obviously not as diverse and free as many stand-alone games.”

"Domestic players are easy to get into the habit of going online every day, doing daily routines, and clearing up their physical strength. After these are done, they basically can't continue to play the game, or they can't get more benefits from the game rules. If they want to continue To play, you need krypton gold to buy physical strength or other methods that you feel will lose money in comparison. The physical strength design mode not only meets the anti-addiction regulations, but also can reasonably arrange the progress of the game, such as what level you have not reached, what content, what new plot It will not be open, and thus set development goals for players."

"On this basis, players will spend limited time on the game every day. At the same time, they will subtly cultivate the habit of players. The continuous time investment of customs clearance will make players gradually get used to doing repetitive things online every day. At the same time, through regular version updates , to maintain the vitality of the player before the player gets bored, so as to gain a stable popularity."

"The vast majority of players don't have that much time and energy to explore the content and gameplay of a hardcore game. Many times it is difficult to spare a lot of free time to completely clear a game. Lost a lot of enthusiasm."

Siegfried stood in front of the projection screen and said with a serious expression: "Cultivate the habit of players, use the time and feelings invested, and increase the cost of krypton gold for players. This is a very practical strategy. Culture determines the environment. Games that meet the needs of consumers are games that can make money."

"But how to build it requires our collective efforts. Next, let's talk about the main audience we choose for this game-those office workers who have money but don't have much time to play games. At present, the game market has been dominated by many For game segmentation, we need to find a new way. Many games now adhere to the basic strategy. On this basis, we introduce a series of new methods to encourage krypton gold and ways to maintain game traffic. Let’s return to the perspective of leisure and study a This is a free game that focuses on placement, development, and leisure."

"In order to get close to the local culture, the subject matter can be Xiuxian culture or martial arts culture. As for the krypton gold content, the issue of balancing the conflict between krypton gold players and civilian players, etc., is the issue we will discuss next..."

Hill, who was sitting on the seat, lowered her head, pointing her head for a while. She heard these things in a cloud, and she could only vaguely feel that many people were talking, and many people were arguing. What, among these messy voices, the voice from Siegfried is the loudest.
