Cannon Fodder Genius Game Producer

After 8 years from the account of 'Not Losing Teacher', after 8 years and unraveling the final easter egg buried in Tracer Studio for [-] years in the live broadcast, there are scattered various rumors about the identity of Not Losing Teacher Guessing and whether or not the teacher is not a simple guess made by a person.

It can be said that the name 'Teacher No Loser' has always had a strong presence since April. As long as someone replays the 'Easter Egg' or evaluates the newly purchased overclockable version GM4, they will give the name of Teacher No Loser again. ID brings new volume of discussion.

Players who eat melons on the Internet feel that after Mr. Buba comes back, even if he has officially announced that he has registered a game production studio, at least he should not give up his already well-accumulated live broadcast account—even if it is for the sake of giving himself If you want to promote your game, you need to continue to maintain the popularity of this account, don't you?

But if he doesn't lose to the teacher, he really seems to have forgotten that he still has a WG live broadcast account with a considerable number of fans, and he hasn't started a live broadcast for a month or two.

On the first day of Pei Shu's return, the people on the WG platform originally recommended him on the homepage, just to try to see if this ancient account can take off again under the current live broadcast environment.

As a result, Pei Shu's live broadcast that day not only took off by itself, but also directly allowed the WG platform to open up a part of the overseas market.

This unexpected result made the staff of the WG platform very happy.

Not only that, Pei Shu also successfully topped the history newcomer list of the WG live broadcast platform by virtue of his global influence that day.

It's a pity that this 'Teacher Not Losing' who reached the top of the newcomer list in history disappeared after that, so the series of promotions they had prepared for the follow-up Teacher Not Losing had to be temporarily put on hold. .

This shelving lasted for two full months.

In the past two months, some people have inevitably started discussions on the Internet-what kind of game does Mr. Bubai make? Is he sure that making games can make more money than playing live broadcasts?

After all, someone calculated the popularity of the first day's live broadcast of "Teacher No Loser" and the actual value of the various gifts he received in a single live broadcast-there are no fake rewards among those who tipped Teacher No Loser, they were all The real audience is calculated according to the gifts he received that day, and then counts his audience popularity and video playback times.

Even if the follow-up popularity and the amount of rewards are halved and then halved, as long as he doesn’t lose to the teacher and guarantees a stable live broadcast every month, even if he can’t make a million dollars a month like a top anchor, there is no problem with a monthly income of hundreds of thousands of.

But he doesn't even earn this kind of income, but plays games...

Some people can't help asking: Isn't the teacher who doesn't lose an independent game?After months of hard work, will he really earn more money than his live broadcast?

Unfortunately, no one will be able to answer that question until the release of the studio's first game.

***

At the end of June, after a series of acceptance adjustments, the 6 version of "Codename Xianyuan" was finally successfully packaged.

This version 1.0 contains the basic gameplay of the game. In Pei Shu's words, it is becoming a fairy with one thought, and becoming a demon with one thought-the fairy fate you see may not be the fairy fate, it may be the opportunity for you to fall into the devil.

Wang Fei and Jiang Ziye had no objection to Pei Shu's words.

As far as their "Codename Xianyuan" is concerned, this is how it is played.

Or in other words, their game is filled with a temperament that will be beaten to death by players from the beginning to the end.

"Version 1.0 is out, what's next? Do you want to open a small-scale invitation test?"

Wang Fei was a little unsure.

He was in charge of all Polar Star projects before. Except for "Super God", the other projects, regardless of their success or failure, also gained popularity among some players by virtue of the Pole Star name before they were actually released.

And those projects are a little different from "Code Name Xianyuan". Those projects are all big money and big investment, the overall gameplay is complicated, and it is also difficult to produce.

To put it simply-even if the core gameplay is exposed during the closed beta, with the quality of the game, the art and the Polestar brand, even if other games copy their core gameplay, there is no need to worry too much about the loss of players.

But "Code Name Xianyuan" is different.

They are currently a small-cost production team, even though they have invested as much as possible in art, and have done the best possible quality control, but the total investment of 60 yuan is often several million to thousands of others. Compared with the production cost of [-] yuan, it is impossible for you to say that there is no gap.

The current advantage of "Code Name Xianyuan" is this core gameplay that is "extremely underplayed" in Wang Fei's words.

Wang Fei was a little worried about whether this gameplay would be copied by other competing games. Once this core gameplay was noticed by others and plagiarized into a product with a higher investment, even if they could file a lawsuit against the plagiarist, but for Its own product operation will also have an impact.

Hearing Wang Fei's worry, Pei Shu patted Wang Fei's shoulder deeply: "Old Wang, you are so naive, so naive."

Wang Fei glared at Pei Shu: "Speak well!"

Pei Shu smiled and picked up the cup in his hand: "Old Wang, if you plagiarize the gameplay, you must first be noticed by other R&D teams after your own game has gained a certain reputation. If you think about it carefully, you are very famous. When I was a star, would it be possible to notice the first product of a small team like Bulo?"

Wang Fei: ...

He will not.

But he still rubbed his forehead: "I won't mean that others won't. Don't forget that there are only 3 members in our studio, all of them have names and surnames."

Wang Fei's words are true, he is a well-known person himself, and if you count Jiang Ziye in the "not losing teacher" and the real and fake producer incident, the three of them together will indeed attract people's attention-but to be honest , that is, it must be paid attention to.

Pei Shu smiled and looked at Wang Fei, as if waiting for him to continue.

Wang Fei caught a glimpse of the smile on Pei Shu's face, and felt that this guy really deserved to be beaten—whether it was him, or the gameplay he set for "Code Name Xianyuan".

But he also knew what the smile on Pei Shu's face meant.

Although the three of them are eye-catching, Wang Fei is a project manager who is good at overall project management and control. All of them are independent game producers.

Even before Wang Fei really communicated with Pei Shu, he thought that Pei Shu planned to start from the independent games he and Jiang Ziye were good at, and follow a unique genre of creativity and emotional resonance.

How many people would have thought that he did not follow the rules and started a mobile online game?

Once you hear that 'Teacher Buba is not making an independent game, but a mobile game', those who originally had high expectations for them will probably be a little disappointed.

From this point of view, it is indeed like what Pei Shu said - the expectations of their studio's games are not high.

Thinking of this, Wang Fei felt a headache again: "Then how do you plan to promote the game?"

Pei Shu smiled, and asked curiously, "Isn't the publicity plan also integrated into the gameplay?"

Wang Fei was stunned for a moment, thinking of the underplaying gameplay of "Codename Xianyuan", he was a little surprised: "You designed this gameplay to increase the conflict between players and stimulate discussions?"

Jiang Ziye, who was listening to the discussion quietly at the side, was also taken aback after hearing what Wang Fei said: "Teacher No Loser, did you consider the issue of publicity when designing the core gameplay?"

Pei Shu rubbed his chin: "It's not deliberate, but I just happened to consider that this gameplay is easier to create hot topics in publicity and promotion."

"...It's really good." Wang Fei rarely spoke sarcastically.

Indeed, as Pei Shu said, their studio is currently not very well-known at the level of ordinary players. If they want to successfully open up the mass market, relying on the popularity of the three of them will not be of much use.

And if the game itself has a degree of discussion—from the gameplay level, Wang Fei has already thought of several sets of promotional and marketing plans, and this route should be indeed feasible.

Wang Fei asked: "Since you don't think you need to worry about excessive attention, why not conduct the first round of testing for version 1.0?"

Pei Shu nodded: "Of course, but let's take it easy. We will test the current version for a few more days. The number of players is too small, and many problems cannot be really tested. We will try our best to ensure that the basic problems are tested first. Come out, and put a 1000-person invitation test on the special page of WG."

On the same day, after announcing the production of the first game, the WG game special page that only released the name "Codename Xianyuan" finally appeared new content.

Theme: The first mobile game "Codename Xianyuan" version 1.0 of the first mobile game of the studio is about to start!

Players who had paid attention to the No Loser Studio because of Teacher No Loser and Wang Fei and Jiang Ziye received the update reminder of the special edition content immediately.

Check it out here - man, this title is long enough!

1L: 【Sofa】

3L: [Come here, I've waited for two months and finally got my first post. Teacher's studio is a bit lazy, doesn't it maintain the special edition to update the content? 】

4L: [Laughing, it seems that there are not many people who pay attention to the studio. After such a long time, they are able to grab the fourth position. Friends upstairs, I checked it before, and the number of registered studios is not inferior to the teacher. ≤ 5 people, it is estimated that the total number of people will not lose to the teacher, Wang Fei and Jiang Ziye. With these 3 people, the 1.0 version can be produced in two months. The efficiency is amazing, so don't think about maintaining the special edition up. 】

8L: [Version 1.0 actually came out in two months?The efficiency is really good, but this post is too simple. It only says that it is an exploration game of placing cards and fighting. There are two paths of cultivating immortals and cultivating demons, and then there is no more? 】

10L: [Looking at the introduction, it looks like a krypton gold game. The teacher and Jiang Ziye get together, and it's not an independent game but a krypton gold mobile game... To be honest, I'm a little disappointed. 】

11L: [I think it's okay. Indie games and commercial games are both a reasonable choice. There's no need to be disappointed so early. Let's take a look at the quality of the game. This round of internal testing says that 1000 accounts will be released. I'll make an appointment first. I bought one, and then I will experience the game content and see if I am not disappointed. 】

……

The overall popularity of this post announcing that the invitation test is about to start seems to be okay.

Pei Shu took a look at the 24-hour reading volume of the post from the background. It was about 5000. Among them were the data clicked by the players who participated in the discussion in the topic when they repeated the discussion. Around 3000.

Because of the original live broadcast event, the fresh WG special account of Buba Studio has roughly 30000 followers. For a new studio account without any works, this is already a considerable number of followers.

The ratio of the number of readers and the number of followers of this theme post is quite good, which shows that those who followed this studio account at the beginning should indeed be hardcore fans who are not inferior to the teacher, and the conversion rate of the number of followers and effective interaction is very good.

And this seemingly good amount of reading has brought about equally good player reservation data - in less than 48 hours, the number of reservations for version 1.0 of this game, which should be unknown to players, has already exceeded the benchmark of 1000 Target.

After Pei Shu confirmed that the application number could meet the needs of the initial test, he temporarily did not use his account of 'No Loser Teacher' for large-scale publicity and promotion.

So, about 10 days later, the first test of version 1.0 of "Codename Xianyuan" kicked off in an extremely low-key situation.

The moment he opened the server, Pei Shu made a joke: "I hope our program brother is worth the money, and there will be no internal beta accidents where the server will be blown up immediately after opening the server."

Wang Fei rolled his eyes angrily—it was just an internal test with 1000 people. They have already used robots to conduct stress tests as much as they can. As for their own game?

Between Pei Shu and Wang Fei's jokes, Jiang Ziye next to him showed a tense look of being ready for battle—aside from "Crazy Graduation Season" and "The Stolen Life", for him, the internal test is about to happen. "Codename Xianyuan" is the real first game that he has put all his efforts into.

I don't know what the players' feedback on "Codename Xianyuan" will be like?

Just when Pei Shu and Wang Fei were relatively relaxed, while Jiang Ziye was waiting in full swing, version 1.0 of "Codename Xianyuan" finally ushered in its first batch of players.

Chen Xiaopang was the WG anchor who 'picked up' the teacher who did not lose on the WG live broadcast platform. Because of the comeback of the teacher who did not lose, Chen Xiaopang, as one of the anchors who first discovered the teacher who did not lose, also gained a certain amount of popularity , Not losing to the teacher's original live broadcast also left a deep impression on Chen Xiaopang.

Previously, based on the habit of "picking up newcomers", Chen Xiaopang paid attention to the account of Budi Studio from the very beginning, and also wanted to see what the studio of Buba Teacher would eventually develop into.

After discovering that 'Not Losing Studio' actually issued an invitation for the internal test version of the new game, Chen Xiaopang certainly would not miss this opportunity, sent out the application immediately, and successfully obtained the qualification for the first test.

On the first day of the game's first round of internal testing, Chen Xiaopang started a live broadcast, and Le Diandian opened the game he had just downloaded.

"Come here, let me see the true face of Mount Lu in "Codename Xianyuan"!"
