Otherworldly Architect

At this time, in the studio of Tulongbaodao, it was indeed very silent as the outside world guessed.

Clearly stated: "..."

Vice President: "..."

They were looking at the report, the complete report of "Iron Horse Glacier" for the past month.

The above figures are shocking.

That's right, the player churn rate is over 80%.

Among all the games produced by Mingyan, this ranks first from the bottom.

But none of this matters.

This month's profit figures are the reason why the two of them are silent.

The monthly turnover is 45 billion.

To understand this figure, we must first compare horizontally.

For ordinary studios, one of the criteria for success is: the monthly turnover exceeds [-] million.

For a larger company and a game team with greater investment, if the monthly turnover exceeds 4 million, it is also a great success worthy of celebration.

As for Blue Star Studio, "League of Legends" has developed into the eighth year, and the current monthly turnover is basically stable between 30 billion and 50 billion, with frequent fluctuations, and the opening of the finals in October is the peak.

Although any game is at the peak of profitability when it is first launched, the 45 billion of "Iron Horse Glacier" is really too peak!

The deputy commander of the dragon-slaying sword stuttered in fright!

"This, this... Are these local tyrants a little too enthusiastic, should, why don't we organize a rebate activity for them?"

Mingyan crossed his hands and pondered for a while: "No way, if you give local tyrants a discount, they will give a bad review."

This is an empirical fact that has been verified in "Ni Tian Jue".

So, the two fell into silence again.

The original design intention of "Iron Horse Glacier" is to satisfy the market of local tyrants.

But I don't really want to make so much money!

Ming·Not Bad Money·God of Wealth·Yan: Go away, you damn money.jpg

Too much money is hot, really hot.

Unknowingly, Tulong Baodao Studio has already become a giant in the industry - of course, some people call it "the cancer of the industry".

The reason why they never disclose financial statements, do not go public, and do not accept any investment is because they expressly fear that some means of encouraging consumption will stimulate the current relatively stable market, and bad money will drive out good money.

But now this "Iron Horse and Glacier" is really good at making money.

With such a large amount of money lying in the public account, if it remains in the backlog, even the local government can't help but send someone to ask.

Mingyan's old father looked at his family's money tree, and was so worried that his hair almost fell out: "How can I spend so much money..."

When I got home at night, I told Xia Cheng about it, and said worriedly: "There is no encouragement for consumption at all, and these local tyrants are too good at spending money. Really, alas!"

Xia Cheng: "..."

Mingyan: "?"

Xia Cheng whispered: "Honey, I was wrong, I will halve the amount of my game card right now."

Mingyan: "...how much did you charge?"

Xia Cheng said cowardly: "It's only 20...more than a fraction."

Ming Yan said indifferently: "How much is zero?"

Xia Cheng was dejected: "...zero 400 million."

A fraction of 20, 400 million!

Mingyan made him happy!

Later, the husband and wife made up their minds overnight and decided to carry out a series of show operations.

First of all, change the office location of Tulong Baodao studio, and buy a villa directly next to the five-star tourist attraction next door!All developers have since settled in the villa area for game production;

Secondly, open the era of equity incentives, and distribute 10% of the net profit of "Iron Horse Glacier" to all developers according to performance;

Thirdly, since the development stage of "Iron Horse Glacier" involved the participation of the two heads of Bluestar Studio, it is entirely possible to claim that it was "outsourced planning", and then return 50% of the profits to Bluestar Studio - this part The income changed suddenly and became a "development cost", which instantly reduced the profit by half;

In the end, there is still 40% of the profit left. There is really nothing to do. After paying the tax, it still has to go into the pocket of the God of Wealth.

Mingyan: "Throw... oh no, invest in Chenxing! Perfect."

So on the next day, Dragon Tulong Sword Studio put up an announcement.

——After deducting all the development and operation costs and taxes of "Iron Horse Glacier", 100% of the net profit will be donated to the public welfare fund under the Morningstar Incubation Park for free!

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

At the same time that the industry was flying wild, players showed black question marks one after another.jpg

[Has Zhou Bapi changed his gender? !The profit has gone entirely to public welfare? ! ! ! 】

[Look at the evaluation of the new game of Tulong, it is estimated that you can't make a few small money, so you might as well throw it all out to gain a good reputation, and let the netizens stop scolding them...]

[No matter what, I still want to praise the dragon sword]

[100% guess not much money. 】

【Morning Star!Morning Star!Blue Star takes the lead, God of Wealth invests, and the independent development market in Sixth Star Province is saved...]

[I just found out that Tulong has released a new game, and I haven't paid attention to this robber for a long time.What's wrong with this year, Blue Star is making mobile games, and Tulong is making client games? ? 】

[I don’t understand, but I support public welfare, like it (thumbs.jpg)]

The Internet is full of guesses that "Iron Horse Glacier" "can't make a few small money".

The management team of the Morning Star Incubation Park Public Welfare Fund also signed the contract very relaxedly. By the way, everyone present also signed a confidentiality contract.

Everything was easy and fun until they saw that transfer number.

For a moment, everyone was suddenly unable to breathe.

"…………"

excuse me? ! ! !Several!indivual!Small!money! ?

There are all of them, the famous painting screams.jpg

For this donation, Morningstar also issued a notice, and the official thanked Tulong Baodao Studio for its contribution.

Moreover, with the leadership of Tu Long, various sectors of the industry have successively received a lot of investment.

There are also bosses who are playing "Iron Horse Glacier", and they have sent a lot of investment in their own names.

One of the bosses, Yuan, who did not want to be named, said by the way: "The God of Wealth has voted, which means that Morning Star still has a future. I will invest 1000 million first, and try the small procedures. It is best to make something like a guard against the sky." If games like Jue, Iron Horse and Ice River come, then I will increase the investment by ten times."

On the Internet, there has been a while of speculation quietly.

[What is the relationship between Tulong's ghostly designer and our leader?Looks like a competitor, but suddenly donates to Morningstar? 】

[Why do these two seem to have discussed it!An average of one work per year, if you make a client game, I will make a mobile game, and if you make a mobile game, I will make a client game? 】

[Upstairs, big companies communicate with each other, they will discuss whether to hit the schedule]

[Quiet Mimi mixed in, eating a cult in the corner, no one should notice...]

[Oh oh oh oh I've figured it out!The amazingly talented designer and the unconstrained genius designer fall in love with each other. On the battlefield, you will die and I will live, and in the next battle, you will die ♂ and I will live ♂. Is there a wife who can expand the word to 200 million? 】

[Let me conspiratorially speculate that this year's "Dragon Hunt" didn't reach 200G, so it couldn't compete for the best of the year, so Dragon Slaying produced a 3A-level "Iron Horse Glacier"? ? ? 】

[Iron Horse Glacier has such a bad reputation, it's impossible, well, there is still some hope on the other side. 】

"Dragon Hunter" is not large enough to participate in the competition among 3A-level masterpieces, but it was still shortlisted for the "Boutique Game" award in the selection of lightweight games.

To be honest, when the person in charge of League One sent an email notification, he was relieved...

——Be good, at last Blue Star did not continue to win the title!The last underpants of the League One are saved!

And the production teams shortlisted for other "boutique games" are very open.

——Oh, compete with Blue Star?That's over, let's go to the public fund to travel and eat and drink, maybe you can get the leader to sign something.

Just like a team from the top league suddenly came to the second league for a day trip, and the team that played against it would probably have a sense of open-mindedness in their hearts.

Although unable to compete for this year's laurels, the atmosphere in the Blue Star studio is still very pleasant.

No regrets, because:

"Ah, I can finally get a different trophy!"

"It's the same every year. I think our cabinets are so monotonous. It's nice to have a boutique all of a sudden."

"Sure enough, the smallest one is the most favored."

Everyone happily vacated a middle space for the display cabinet dedicated to visiting trophies.

From now on, there will be four "best of the year", guarding a "boutique game"!

In the second half of this year, everyone is waiting peacefully.

In June, the first Hunter Contest of Dragon Hunter was held smoothly;

In September, the second expansion piece of "Xia Ke Xing" "The Wind and Rain" was officially launched;

In October, the eighth top-level event of "League of Legends";

In December, the League One Awards Gala could almost be said to be the scheduled "Boutique Game of the Year" award.

During this period, Blue Star's designers finally entered the small black room after spending a leisurely May.

The new project, a game of escape horror + meta elements, code-named "Healing", has entered the official development stage!

As always, the first to get busy are always the designers.

The little black room this time is different from the previous games.

Really "black".

There is no dazzling array of small toys, only scary dolls and various props are placed next to it.

This is to simulate the atmosphere of a horror escape, not to let the designers live too comfortably, but to maximize their inspiration on the other hand.

In such a room, even when Ming Yan stepped into it, he felt a bit chilly on his back.

Props master: "Cheer up guys! These dolls are made by each of our props team. They are all for everyone's love, okay!"

A group of rag dolls looked at them with black eyes.

Sound Effects Engineer: "Also, this is a water piano. This is the love that our sound effects team has given to everyone. Thank you."

When the water piano was put down, there was a creepy sound just by touching it.

Then they happily closed the door of the little black house.

Designers: "..." QAQ!
