The strongest game producer

When Xiao Gou woke up, he took out his phone and saw that his Facebook followers had exceeded five figures, and he was striding towards six figures.

The few people Xiao Gou followed before going to bed all went back to the gate. He clicked in and saw that it was Qiao Hong's three rich second-generation friends who helped pretend to be passers-by and found the melon field, and recommended it to fans.Xiao Gou yawned and opened the group chat, and indeed it was Qiao Hong who asked them to recommend it.

After Xiao Gou thanked them one by one, he posted another face blog: "Although I have opened a face blog, but don't hold the illusion that I will spoil the new game of Red Dog, because every one of my blogs has to be reviewed by Da Qiao to be published."

This Facebook post was immediately swiped with "hahaha".

Xiao Gou yawned, and when he got up to wash and cook and asked Qiao Hong to wake up, he found Qiao Hong looking at his phone with a dark face.

"It's agreed that I will review it before releasing it?" Qiao Hong raised his phone.

Xiao Gou glanced at the ceiling: "This morning's breakfast is a small sea food chaos. The chaos is wrapped with fresh shrimp stuffing. It's super delicious!"

Qiao Hong sighed.Forget it, in fact, he didn't expect Xiao Gou to remember to report to him before posting on Facebook, at least he could remember to show him when it involves sensitive information, such as spoilers and insulting people.

Qiao Hong gave Xiao Gou a white look, and said, "When will you be more reliable?"

Xiao Gou joked: "When you ignore me?"

Qiao Hong supported his forehead.It seems that Xiao Gou is not reliable in this life.

……

The fact that Xiao Gou opened his face blog did not cause much splash on the Internet.After all, there are too many comments about Ling Zhan and Red Dog. He disappeared after posting two face blogs. "Spirit War" opened an official Facebook again. Netizens quickly forgot about him. Concentrate on going to the official blog of Ling Zhan to make a fool of yourself.

There were also many negative comments after the spirit war was booming.One of the most objectionable points is that Ling Zhan is too harsh on underage players.

In terms of ratings, although there are players to fight against, but because there are no bloody scenes, no sexually provocative hints, and the promotion of cultural relics, Zongju rated it as E-level, which means it can be played by players over 6 years old.Since it is an E-level game, minors can also play it freely.

However, Lingzhan artificially set a time limit for minors to play games, and minors have to fill in a guardian's ID number and mobile phone number. This mobile phone number will be checked online for the ID number when processing, and must be the same as the guardian's ID. If the account number is the same, if the minor krypton gold, the game will send a verification code to the guardian's mobile phone, and the verification code must be entered to deduct and recharge.

This made the majority of underage players very upset and protested many times, but the Red Dog official blog was unmoved.For a while, it seemed that many underage players, especially some underage rich children on Facebook, criticized Red Dog, saying that since Red Dog looked down on minors, they would never play any Red Dog games again.

Seeing that the Red Dog game is so unreliable, other game companies began to use their brains.If they open up the market for underage players, can they snatch a big piece of cake from Red Dog Games?

Big game companies have a feeling that something is wrong, and they are waiting and watching for the time being, but many small game studios have stepped into the water, directly using the gameplay template of Spiritual Warfare, adding some materials casually, and starting publicity under the banner of minors playing freely.

It's a pity that they can't disassemble the system of Ling Zhan, otherwise they will directly use the game system of Ling Zhan, and the game will be put on the market faster.

Red Dog responded to this.

Red Dog Games: It is precisely because we love the underage player community that we have made this restriction.This restriction will be used for all Red Dog's online games, and Nuan Nuan's next update will also install this content.

Red Dog Game: However, according to the suggestions of players, Krypton Gold Verification will make the following changes.Players under the age of 16 cannot cancel the krypton gold verification limit; players aged 16 to [-] can apply for video authentication and SMS authentication through their guardians, and cancel the krypton gold verification limit for all Red Dog games from now on; players aged [-] to apply by themselves, Cancel the krypton gold verification limit.

Red Dog Games: Although we rely on games for food, we still invite players, especially underage players who are not yet financially independent, to spend money rationally.

There was an uproar on the Internet, and wave after wave of people scolding Red Dog Game, Red Dog Game still insisted on not changing it, and as the announcement said, it also restricted Nuan Nuan's krypton gold.For a while, in forums, Facebook and other places, underage players announced that they would boycott Red Dog games everywhere.

There are too many such remarks, but it makes other netizens a little rebellious.

"Although I think minors are under the control of their parents, and Red Dog just eats radish and doesn't worry about it, but when he sees Red Dog doing a good deed and being scolded, he suddenly feels uncomfortable."

"Red Dog has assumed social responsibilities that he shouldn't have, and then he was scolded as a dog. He is worthy of being a Red Dog."

"To be honest, if parents really give their underage children a lot of money and let them use it as they please, they don't care about getting them an application. Anyway, it's just entering a verification code and blinking at the camera. If the parents are very Opposing this matter, unwilling to help underage children to apply for the removal of krypton gold verification restrictions, doesn’t it just show that parents are not happy for their children to krypton gold? Parents earned the money, and they are qualified to decide how to use the money.”

"Spirit War is a game that can be played without spending money. Many bigwigs are saying that you can get diamonds without spending a penny. If you just want to enjoy the fun of the game, you don't have to spend money. I don't know why They have so much resistance to limiting krypton gold."

"Probably because you can't buy skins and you can't pretend."

"In fact, the game time for minors is limited to two hours a day, which is long enough. My working dog never goes online for two hours a day. Even during the event, I can get all the rewards by going online for half an hour a day. I don't I feel that this limitation reduces the playability of Spirit Warfare.”

"It is true that some underage players are already born in society to make money on their own, and some are looking for part-time jobs outside without using their parents' money. But such people are a minority after all. And there are really such players, either from the bottom of society, or their parents are particularly enlightened For the former, it's better not to spend money and save the money for food, and the latter's parents will definitely be willing to help open the restrictions."

"Watching the red dog being scolded every day, it doesn't show misery and doesn't make sense, and suddenly my affection for it doubles."

"It didn't happen suddenly, and I always had a good impression."

……

In an internal meeting of Red Dog Games, they also discussed this issue.

The new accountant took out the report, and the amount of krypton gold in the event after Nuan Nuan went online to limit the krypton gold module not only did not decrease, but continued to rise.

The company employees at the meeting were very surprised, but Qiao Hong and Xiao Gou had expressions that they knew about it a long time ago.

Huang Shanshan, who had already been promoted, asked, "Mr. Qiao, Mr. Xiao, did you expect that?"

Xiao Gou waved his hand, motioning for Qiao Hong to answer.Qiao Hong glanced at Xiao Gou, and said: "The reason for this phenomenon is that adults are the most popular gamers, and although we have set up authentication, as long as parents don't pay attention, it is easy for minors to take advantage of loopholes to bypass the authentication. "

Just as Qiao Hong was talking, he saw Xiao Gou covered his mouth and yawned. He twisted his body on Xiao Gou's thigh from under the table, and Xiao Gou immediately shivered and regained his energy: "As Da Qiao said, I will add this The small program is not for the purpose of restricting minors’ krypton gold, but for exempting them from liability. I think you often see this kind of news. It is obvious that the parents don’t care about the children, and the mobile phone passwords, bank card passwords, etc. are used by the children casually. The children cannot withstand the temptation After krypton gold, they went to the game company to make trouble."

"Many game platforms now have a refund process, but some media always use this aspect to make a fuss." Qiao Hong added, "The popularity of Ling Zhan must have aroused the envy of many people. to avoid these risks.”

Xiao Gou nodded: "Whether it's cooperating with the government, devoting to charitable causes, or setting limits on the game time and krypton gold for minors, it's a means to avoid risks. These means may have an impact on income in the short term, but in the long run Let’s see, it’s good for us and not harmful.”

"And," Xiao Gou showed a sly smile on his face, "Think about it differently. When you were underage, there was a game that restricted your online time and limited your money. You would think, I want to give up this game. This game, or think, I will do everything possible to play this game?"

The other participants were thoughtful.

Xiao Gou continued: "This is the same as the limited edition. Don't tell me you won't buy it if you can't buy it after the limited edition?"

At the mention of the limit, everyone smiled knowingly.

"Mr. Xiao, I think we can guide the public opinion in this direction?" Huang Shanshan's eyes lit up, and she said, "There must be some players who are just stuck on the line of adulthood? We can promote that this is something only grown-ups can play freely." Games, this may attract more minors.”

Qiao Hong coughed dryly and said, "Don't say your last sentence."

The whole place laughed.

Xiao Gou smiled and said: "It is also necessary to appease the underage players who are still playing. Nowadays, after losing the ranking, many spirit war players still call their teammates elementary school students. In fact, elementary school students may play better than adults. Well. We can also publicize this, moderate games benefit the brain, and it is also good for elementary school students to play this game in their spare time."

Xin Linjia raised her hand and said, "We should also publicize that female players can also play spiritual battles very well. Don't blame female players every time someone loses in the ranking."

Xiao Gou smiled and said, "Yes, we have to publicize this too. Then, let Huang Shanshan guide the public opinion. You write a plan for me."

Huang Shanshan immediately accepted the job.

After this matter was over, Xiao Gou and Qiao Hong continued to arrange work.Although it has only been less than half a month since the public beta of Spirit Warfare, they have already started planning for a new game.

In addition to clarifying the confusion of employees who were puzzled by Xiao Gou and Qiao Hong's restrictions on underage players, this meeting was more important to announce the launch of the new game.

"For a small company like ours, time is life." Qiao Hong said seriously, "In the stage of enterprise development, high-intensity workers are inevitable. I hope everyone can persevere."

Xiao Gou smiled and said: "Although tired, I think everyone must be very happy. The company has a complete and detailed development plan, and there are spare new projects ready to start at any time, which makes everyone feel safe, right? When a certain dog game started operation, there was no new game plan to launch, and everyone probably thought about running away.”

The audience laughed again.

Qiao Hong glanced at Xiao Gou.Xiao Gou did a good job of putting on a red face and cheering people up.

Xiao Gou enlivened the atmosphere, and the faces of the employees attending the meeting were full of fighting spirit, and Qiao Hong's next work arrangements went much smoother.The employees not only took over their jobs happily, but also actively participated in the discussion of the new game.Whether it's art, plot or program, they are actively using their brains to make Red Dog's first holographic game as blockbuster as its mobile game.

The young team is full of courage. No one present has any fear of Red Dog's sudden jump from mobile games to the holographic field. The programmers are even gearing up, saying that they have long wanted to try the holographic design function of Red Dog Game Designer.

The material is not a problem, the plot is not a problem, and even the technology is not a problem. What do they have to be afraid of?

funds?The situation in the spiritual war is very good now, and the funds must be sufficient.

Although they also knew that the funds earned by Ling Zhan would not be enough for them to waste a few times, but wouldn't the new company take risks and wait for the big companies to follow suit?

"They must still be thinking about how to fight with Fengling. I didn't expect that we have a new game." An employee snickered.

Another employee nodded vigorously: "That's right, even if they expected that we have a new game, they certainly wouldn't have thought that we would go to make a holographic game."

"Our holographic game will definitely lead the new trend." The eyes of the plot team were even brighter, and they really liked the concept of "interactive movie game" that Xiao Gou and Qiao Hong said.

Xiao Gou said, the gameplay is actually pretty much the same now, the more interesting thing is shooting plus fighting, so what should be the best way to win the game now?Better picture quality?A smoother system?Wider publicity?These are of course necessary, but now game manufacturers ignore a very important factor, and that is the game plot.

Holographic games allow players to have the feeling of Second Life, so how can Second Life not have a plot that is more exciting or thought-provoking than reality?

"Gameplay is of course also very important, but the type of holographic game that is most likely to catch players' eyes now is of course interactive movie games. Because no matter the game manufacturer or the player, when it comes to games, the full screen is full of gameplay. Now, I haven't realized the importance of the plot. Now, we are going to be crab eaters." Xiao Gou paused, "By the way, how many times have we eaten crabs?"

Even Qiao Hong couldn't help laughing this time.

"We've been eating crabs!" The meeting room roared with laughter, "Seafood feast!"

Xiao Gou spread his hands: "It doesn't matter. When we have money, we will stop eating crabs and eat Manhan Banquet instead. Now that our company is small, we can only barely survive by eating crabs."

Qiao Hong reminded with a smile: "Okay, stop playing tricks and be serious."

Xiao Gou clenched his right fist and put it on his lips for a dry cough: "I will continue to explain the connotation of interactive movie games."

The original intention of the interactive movie game is to use a cinematic narrative style to tell the story of the game. Players will encounter several branch options in the game, and these options will affect the ending. Such a game will give players a stronger sense of substitution.

Although some game media in Xiao Gou’s previous life said that interactive movie games should reduce gameplay as much as possible, increase CG clips, and even let real people go out of the country directly.However, game manufacturers and most players believe that the core of interactive movie games is still games, and gameplay is also indispensable.The kind mentioned by the game media should be called "interactive movie" rather than "interactive movie game".

Xiao Gou also thinks so.

If you don’t insist on having movie quality, Xiao Gou’s first interactive movie game in his previous life was also a shooting game, and the interactive movie games that have been sold since then have also added decryption, shooting, fighting, or RPG adventure content. .

The Xianjian series in the previous life can be said to be role-playing adventure games. It still needs to spawn monsters and fight bosses, and also adds elements of maze walking and decryption.However, the hardcore players of Xianjian know that repeated spawning, upgrading and accumulating equipment is not the fun part of this game. Most players play "story".

Game makers obviously understand this, so the Xianjian series of games can make the character 999 by modifying the archive, omitting the cumbersome upgrade and fighting monsters, so that players can concentrate on the plot.

Xiao Gou considered that the reason why the Xianjian series of games were not made into interactive movie games was that besides the fact that interactive movie games were still very small at that time, the lack of funding and technology was also an important issue.

In fact, Xiao Gou originally wanted the Fairy Sword series to include the features of a soul-based game while being able to choose a plot, but after Qiao Hong learned what a soul-based game is, he dismissed Xiao Gou's opinion.

Soul game is a kind of fighting game, but it greatly increases the skill of the game. If the player does not observe the enemy's movements carefully, and is not proficient in using the character's several attack actions, then even a mob can take the player away with three swords.

This kind of game can indeed win awards if it is done well, but now Red Dog considers popularity, and most of the players who support Red Dog are mobile game players. Although it may be a bit discriminatory to say so, many people only focus on mobile The players in the game are indeed handicapped, Xiao Gou raised the difficulty of the game too high all of a sudden, and would persuade many people to quit.

So in the end Xiao Gou and Qiao Hong decided after discussion that the first game should be an interactive movie game.Although there are cultivation, collection, mobs and bosses in the game, and the fighting action and graphics can also be very beautiful, but the game skills are simplified as much as possible. Except for the plot monsters, other mobs are not active attack types, even in the first week. After that, the "story mode" will be opened, that is, the official will open it, so that players can focus on exploring the plot and not worry about bosses and mobs.

As for why they didn't open the official link from the beginning, of course they also want to show off their battle screen and combat system, so as to practice fighting games in the future.

In other words, the game system of this game requires very little resources, and what Red Dog wants to sell is the plot and graphics.

The plot of the Fairy Sword series is still very good, otherwise it would not have touched many people and become a masterpiece in many people's minds.However, due to age constraints and the gender constraints of the creator, after watching it after many years, players picked out many unpleasant points from the plot.

Especially the female players are very upset that the heroines fall in love with the male protagonist so easily.

Some male players also complained about whether the villain could have a novel reason besides unifying the world.

In this regard, the villains of Xianjian IV and Gu Jianyi have won the sympathy of many people, and the popularity of the villains even surpassed that of the protagonist.

Even though Xiao Gou upholds the idea that "when you are doing bad things, you are not qualified to win the sympathy of others", he also knows that many people prefer villains with more connotations.This villain can have his own difficulties, or he can be forced to be like this, or he can be so bad in nature but so bad that players kneel down and shout 666.

At least, they have to have a good-looking face.

All in all, in order to set off the fact that the players are so hard-pressed all the way, if the villain BOSS is an idiot, the players will feel aggrieved that they are also an idiot.

For this reason, Xiao Gou requested that the plot must write the big bosses of the Immortal Sword series in terms of force, ideals, and brains. He also set a tone for the Immortal Sword series, which is "destiny".That is to say, whether it is the big boss or the protagonist, they are all people who have been teased by fate. No matter how hard they struggle, they will not be able to escape their fate in the end. It is impossible to change their fate against the sky.

With Xiao Gou's request, the plot of Xianjian Yi is completely different from the one he saw in his previous life except for the same character name.The plot planners racked their brains, wishing to pour out all the bad water in their stomachs, so that the players would beat their chests and feet, and their hearts would be broken.

Seeing the gloomy smile on the face of the drama group, people in other groups couldn't help but tremble in their calves.

This expression is too much like a perverted killer, right?What the hell are they writing about?

After the first draft was submitted, Xiao Gou and Qiao Hong knew why this group of people smiled like that.

The background of the game is set after Nvwa mended the sky, because there is still a hole in the end, so every few years, the hole needs to be repaired again, otherwise it will keep raining.The tribe that Nuwa stayed on the ground shouldered the mission of mending the sky. In other words, if a certain generation of them returned to their ancestors, they could become snake tails, which meant that this generation of tribesmen should make sacrifices to mend the sky.

Zhao Ling'er, a member of the Nuwa tribe of this generation, was sealed by a formation for 50 years to save her life because of her health when she was a baby. big.

According to the frenzied plot team, the young, handsome and taciturn person who treats Zhao Linger very well and who may be misunderstood by the players as having a crush on Zhao Linger turns out to be Zhao Linger's own father. When a flood happened 50 years ago, Zhao Ling'er's mother was supposed to mend the sky, but the two decided to escape for life.

But Zhao Linger's mother still cared about the common people, and went back to be a sacrifice after giving birth.Who knew that when she gave birth, Nuwa's blood was divided, so the hole was not repaired.So Zhao Linger was snatched away from his father by that generation of Witch Kings and Moon Worshipers and sealed away. He planned to release Zhao Linger's seal when the prophesied natural disaster came again, and raised her up to continue offering sacrifices.

The Lord of Worshiping the Moon practiced the evil method just to save his daughter, changed his face and climbed up to the position of the Leader of Worshiping the Moon step by step, and murdered the Witch King and the leader of the previous generation of Worshiping the Moon.

The author has something to say:

The classics belong to the original works, and the OOC belongs to the Red Dog. If you want to criticize, you can criticize the fans written by the Red Dog plot group for being too rubbish, and it has nothing to do with me.
