It is not uncommon to have small games within big games for a long time, such as the Gwent card in "The Witcher", the oracle card in "Oracle", the knight card in "Moore Manor"... The key is
Can it arouse players' interest?
"Wulin Gaiden" is Yao Yuan's idea, derived from the card game in "Gu Jian Qi Tan 3".
He never defined "Wulin Gaiden" as a big production. It was just something to harvest fans. But Boss Yao was kind-hearted. First, he made players think the game was good, and then when harvesting, he made players feel it was worth their money.
It is equivalent to the difference between Tencent and NetEase.
The former is a grandpa, and the latter is a grandson.
Before I knew it, it was getting dark.
Wang Xinwen was not addicted to online games, but was addicted to Qianqiu Game, and quickly developed a large group of friends. While he was playing, someone suddenly said: "Hey, can we play with Lao Bai?"
"Yes, Lao Bai loves gambling!"
"Hahaha, I remember he bet with Xuanyuan, whose finger was severed, and almost had his hand chopped off."
"Let's go, let's go together!"
A group of people ran to Tongfu Inn. Wang Xinwen clicked on Bai Zhantang. When he saw the word "playing cards", he said excitedly: "You can play and play!"
“Hurry up and try it!”
He clicked [Play Cards] again, and the next second, Sha Yi's voiceover came from the headphones: "Oh, big gambling is harmful to the body, but small gambling is good, brothers, come and play a few games!"
“This tastes so authentic!”
By now, his evaluation of "Wulin Gaiden" had risen to a high level, and he happily played with Bai Zhantang, and then was violently tortured by the system.
Wang Xinwen was defeated and retreated.
Everyone takes turns, and you can lose nine out of ten games.
To be honest, if gambling was not a bad behavior and he was afraid of being reported, Yao Yuan would have added a "bet" function, where he could bet money and equipment, which would be more exciting.
Even so, it has attracted a group of people who are unable to extricate themselves.
Gambling is natural. Just look at this year's World Cup and you will know that men and women placed bets on all kinds of legal and illegal bets, and then they were violently abused by Argentina and Germany.
I don't know how much time passed.
Wang Xinwen felt his back was sore and his legs were numb. When he had finished all his food and drinks, he suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the time. Oh, wow! It was already past nine o'clock in the evening!
I soaked for a full 10 hours.
"Internet cafes have no time..."
He was quite restrained and reluctantly quit the game, got off the plane and left.
On the way back to school, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and I was walking slowly alone. My mind was filled with images from the game, and I suddenly thought of playing cards. This design is wonderful. It not only increases the gameplay, but also fits the game background very well and is highly interactive.
Huh?
In an instant, Wang Xinwen's heart skipped a beat, as if he had caught some clue.
He lowered his head and tried to recall what had just passed through his mind. After walking for a while, he suddenly clapped his hands and remembered "Pet Home", one of Maiwo's earliest text message games.
A little behind "The Legend of Jianghu", it is more casual. The gameplay is to cultivate various pets and let them farm, attack and defend.
"Why would I think of this?"
Wang Xinwen was surprised, but he believed in his intuition and followed his thoughts. What was I thinking before, oh, playing cards, increasing the gameplay, highly interactive, pet home...
"Ha ha!"
He jumped up happily, thinking about the game idea that had been lurking in his mind, and inadvertently put a few pieces together.
You can play cards.
You can also keep pets and farm.
Interactive social networking is even better.
Is it possible to add a piece to make it work? Of course it is!
…………
If Wang Xinwen was not obsessed with playing cards and explored other things, he would find that "Wulin Gaiden" has really rich gameplay.
For example, in the sub-professional tasks, the detective can hunt down killers and thieves, the ranger can hunt for treasures, and the bodyguard can act as a dart... In today's domestic online games, it is not a breakthrough, but it is still very good.
It's enough for players, not to mention fans.
"The long-awaited "Wulin Gaiden" finally officially kicked off on December 1st... As of 19:00 that night, the number of people online had exceeded 210,000. The first day of open beta was a great success!"
"The online game adaptation of "Wulin Gaiden" is very popular. How long does it take for us to develop entertainment products?"
"The fans' enthusiasm creates dazzling data, and "Wulin Gaiden" is just eating two birds with one stone."
"99 Games has released another masterpiece after "Audition" and established its position in the game market."
"99 Entertainment signed a contract with Tianxia Ba Sing and invested heavily in developing the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series of products!"
"The physical book of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is expected to be released within this year, and Tian Xia Ba Sing promises to sign and sell it nationwide!"
"The online game "Zhu Xian" is expected to be released next year, and book fans are eagerly looking forward to it!"
99 Company is building IP, but no one has mentioned this concept now. Everyone is confused and sees 99 Company as being at the forefront of the times and setting an example for future generations.
Yao Yuan estimates that only the three IPs of "Wulin Gaiden", "Ghost Blowing Lamp" and "Zhu Xian" can bring a value of at least 3 billion to the company.
"No wonder so many people are resting on their laurels, their laurels are so delicious!"
Boss Yao, the top five leader, shrugged and walked into the game department again. Different from the tense atmosphere a while ago, everyone in Xigua Studio was successful.
If you make outstanding achievements, you must be rewarded promptly. He has always been good at this.
"Congratulations everyone!"
Yao Yuan stood in front and said to a group of people: "A few days ago, I wrote down these two numbers. Compared with what others had guessed, one was 200,000, which was my expectation for the number of people on the first day of the open beta, and the other was 500,000.
This is my expectation for this game.
What is the concept of reaching 500,000 people online at the same time?
It is a concept that can be selected into the top ten online games of the year and can receive the Golden Ling Award.
We already have an "Audition", but it was imported from overseas. I hope that "Wulin Gaiden" we developed ourselves can also win this honor. Now it seems that the goal is not far away.
So your task next year is this, sprint to 500,000!
Before that, I would like to express my gratitude to every colleague who has contributed to "Wulin Gaiden" and offer my respect and bonus..."
"Wow!"
"Oh oh oh!"
When they heard about the bonus, a group of people couldn't help but started shouting.
As the saying goes, late justice is not called justice, it is called maintaining stability. Late bonuses are not called bonuses, they are called "stabilizing you and continuing to pay for your future efforts in vain."
A good boss is one who pays bonuses promptly.
Yao Yuan looked at the bustling room, smiled, and wanted to turn around and leave, but as soon as he went out, he bumped into Wu Jun running towards him with a weird look on his face.
"What's wrong with that expression?"
“QQ still copied it!”
"What?"
Wu Jun pulled Yao Yuan to a computer, clicked it, pointed at the screen and said: "Grab the parking space! We laughed at them, but they still copied it!
The name has been changed to [Parking Battle], the art style has been changed, some new gameplay has been added, and it has just been launched on QQ space!"
"ha!"
Yao Yuan was also happy and said: "They are anxious! They are anxious!"
