Syphiel has also read some novels labeled "Player Flow" or "Fourth Heaven Disaster Flow" before.
However, in Siffel's view, in this type of novels, the players' work enthusiasm and subjective initiative have mostly been dramatically beautified. There are also many novels that take place before the emergence of immersive virtual reality games, and the protagonist's game is
The only virtual reality game in the world, thanks to the dividends from Blue Ocean, there are so many players working for the protagonist.
Or, the protagonist of the novel has strictly screened players, and the quality of players is far from representative of the average level of normal players.
Does the "Summon Players" project actually have investment potential?
As a dedicated Seraph and Archduke of the Devil, Syphiel spent 3 minutes carefully learning the relevant knowledge of game production through search engines.
Finally, he came to the conclusion that summoning players would allow him, the lord, to lose even the coffin!
This kind of project has so much potential! The future is bright!
Xifer wrote furiously in the document in his mind, listing the various "advantages" of summoning players one by one.
First of all, this is a very legitimate reason for mobilizing hell's resources, and the wisdom of the "Book of Lords" cannot see any flaws at all.
But as soon as the project is advanced, it will definitely make the first level of the Nine Prisons lose their capital and profits.
First, summoning so many players requires shaping a physical body for each player. This requires a large amount of alchemical solution, and a large amount of soul energy is consumed in the production process.
Just having [Experience +1] pop up on his head after Sisyphus has finished pushing the stone will not allow Sisyphus to willingly push the stone up the mountain for a long time.
"After this wave, within three months, the territory's family fortune will be almost completely destroyed!"
"The player's body is initially only level 1. Although I want to be more prodigal, the "Book of Lords" does not allow me to build a body that is too powerful for this group of mercenaries."
Players are here to play games, not "Leek Simulator" or "Black Slave Simulator".
On the surface, many people are "addicted to games", but that is mostly caused by double standards.
"The first is the level and extraordinary systems. The "Book of Lords" itself records several extraordinary systems, which basically come from the material world invaded by the Nine Hells."
Most of those parents who accuse their children of "if you study as seriously as you play games" don't know how bad their children are at games!
Xifer had just studied game production knowledge seriously for 3 minutes. He knew very well that if players want to put down a game, it requires careful design of level planning and numerical planning, a difficulty curve that fits the flow, and an appropriate level.
Continuous high-frequency positive feedback of benefits, as well as challenges that are temporarily unattainable but give people hope.
Normally, making a game requires the joint efforts of planners, artists, and programmers. These positions can be subdivided into "level planning", "numerical planning", "main art", "original painting", "3D art", "
Front-end architecture" and other specific positions.
"Anyway, if the soul energy of the territory is destroyed, I will run away with the bucket. After I get rid of the identity of the Devil Archduke, I can go wherever I want, whether it is Blue Star or that world..."
But Xifer doesn't actually develop a game, and most of the work isn't required.
"I don't know what that world is like now."
Siffel was worried that Blue Star people who had not been exposed to extraordinary power might find it difficult to adapt to the general extraordinary system. So he chose the one most friendly to novices, an extraordinary system based on "careers" and "cards"
system.
Siffel continued to conceive:
"The current level limit is set at level 59, which is the peak level of the mid-level devil. It is similar to the old Warcraft."
Obviously, as a group of players abandoned the game, these bodies, which cost a lot of resources to build and were "favoured" by players, were all wasted.
The rise of moba and mobile games and the decline of traditional online games mmo are signs that the gaming time of mainstream players has become increasingly fragmented.
He opened the bronze-covered "Book of Lords", applied for a budget, and mobilized the soul energy of the war wilderness. He then connected to Blue Star's cyberspace and began to design the game framework to prepare for the arrival of players.
But Xifer knows what characteristics the player has!
Although there is indeed a liver emperor, in this era, casual players are the mainstream of players.
"Well, there are also various rare equipment and materials, which can be given to players for some reason. Anyway, the name is to arm and reward subordinates. With the intelligence of "Lord's Book", it is not easy to deceive it."
A person who spends 3 hours a day playing the same game may be said to be "addicted to games", but if a person only spends 3 hours a day studying or working, he is rarely said to be "addicted to study" or "addicted to work"
.
"Speaking of which, when I was an angel, I went to the sword and magic world centered on cards. Together with the warriors who used the power of cards, I defeated the army of the Demon Archduke Mephistopheles."
Is it possible for such a company to avoid losing money?
Impossible!
The third and most important advantage is that players have low loyalty, are lawless, disobedient, and lawless!
My identity is sensitive and I cannot instruct the players to openly rebel. But if the players themselves are disobedient, it is convenient to explain to the "Book of Lords".
"The internal beta test is set in half a month! We must start the internal beta before the release of Tiantangguo's virtual reality game "Doomsday Dusk"!"
But as long as you think about it for a moment, you will know that most of the "accounts" created by players will be wasted!
As the Devil Archduke, Xifer can reasonably distribute soul energy to mercenaries as "salary". And the players, aren't they what he is looking for, the pillars of talent who want more money, less work, and want welfare every day?
The second advantage is that the player’s work efficiency is not high!
As the Devil's Grand Duke and the lord of the War Wilderness, his decrees have to be reviewed by the "Book of Lords", so it is impossible to actually instruct the mercenaries to fish.
It is common for players to criticize the official planners. Humanoid natural disasters, where geese plucking their hair, leave nothing behind.
Imagine that the company spends a lot of money to customize special equipment for each new employee, but 90% of the employees will resign in the first week of work. The customized equipment will also be scrapped directly.
This system is a bit like a certain stone legend. Players can choose warriors, mages, priests and other professions familiar from traditional RPGs, but the active and passive abilities of all professions, as well as props and equipment, are displayed in the form of "cards".
Whenever you suddenly have a whim, you can demolish the main city and beat up a few devil "NPCs", and you can still make more compensation for yourself!
Thinking of this, Devil Grand Duke Xiphiel felt that the project had great prospects!
But the wonderful thing is that this part of the design is completely unknown to Siffel. As a layman, is it possible for the game he made to make people addicted and stay in the game all day long?
"The name of the game is "Dawn"."
"It's not that I don't want to set a higher level limit, but this extraordinary card-based system requires breakthrough materials for each advancement starting from level 60, but the "Book of Lords" does not record the required material formulas."
"Anyway, I won't be able to work for long and will run away. I don't need to consider higher-level matters."
"Soul energy can be directly called experience points in this game. Hehe, I can also design some tasks to reasonably reward players with experience points."
Taking mobile games as an example, the first-day retention rate of most mobile games is just over 30%. This means that 60% to 70% of players will abandon a mobile game within 24 hours of playing it!
While Xiphiel was imagining the wonderful scenario of losing all his money, he continued to list the new unique advantages of the "Summon Player Project" in the document.
Xifer, who was designing the game architecture, couldn't help but think about the things he saw.
But Xifer referred to service-based games that continue to operate on other platforms.
"Now, let's make a promotional video first. "The Book of Lords" records many scenes of bloody battles, all of which are grand scenes of the battle between the Hell Demon Legion and the Abyss Demons. It is suitable for CG."
"Using the virtual helmet as a medium, the player's consciousness is projected into hell and the body is controlled. If the body dies, it can be resurrected at the rebirth point. Players who are above level 1 will drop the level after death."
Because virtual reality games are a brand new game type, and the current mainstream are single-player buy-out product-based games that don’t care about “retention rate”, Xifer could not find authoritative retention rate data for reference.
"Anyway, players can still kill monsters, extract their soul energy, and improve their levels!"
Just do it, do it now!
The goddess of brilliance once told Xifer not to mention to others the material world from which he originated in his previous life.
Therefore, when it comes to summoning Blue Star players, Xifer does not plan to rely on the help of others, but will do it himself.
For example, modeling and rendering, which are the most expensive, don’t need to be considered at all.
As for the 7-day retention rate, many mobile games don’t even have 10%.
A whole day later, with the assistance of the Bronze Book, Xifer built a "large-scale cross-dimensional mystery network" as the game's "server". Its main function is to attract willing Blue Star souls.
Project to the first level of the Nine Hells and prepare a new body for each consciousness projection.
Every time a body is built, a certain amount of soul energy and a lot of alchemical materials are consumed. Although Xifer wants to be more prodigal, if the configuration is higher, the "Book of Lords" will issue a warning.
