Chen Qi, like Mu Wanqing, is a development manager.
You said this world is the same as the earth, then Lin Yao was the first to stand up and object, but you said it is completely different... Nope.
The structure of the online game industry is quite similar.
It’s also a situation where two kings are very strong.
The two kings on earth are Goose Factory and Pig Factory, and here are eBay and Tianhu.
Yaoshi Software, where Lin Yao currently works, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of eBay.
Chen Qi works for Jianmang Studio Group under Tianhu
In terms of games, the two groups can be said to be very similar to the earth. Their emphasis is different, but they are very similar.
This time, the turn-based online game owned by the enemy's subsidiary has made such a big noise. As the development manager of the same type of game at the enemy's factory, Chen Qi had to pay attention to it both emotionally and rationally.
Well, I was just looking at it as a joke.
"How about it?"
Chen Qi is a slightly bald, middle-aged man with a big belly and an air of wealth.
He held on to the back of the chair of his chief planner, leaned forward slightly, and squinted his eyes to look at the screen.
He is a bit short-sighted, probably more than 300 degrees, because he feels that he is not suitable for wearing glasses, so he has never been able to wear glasses, which causes him to squint when looking at distant objects.
"interesting."
The chief planner opened the client of "Fantasy OL", controlled the character, wandered around, occasionally sent a message, or went to watch people play zodiac signs: "There have been many changes, which have enhanced the social attributes of the game, and then added
There are some challenging activities, but the most interesting thing is the gang system and the gang wars derived from it. This is indeed a genius idea, and it is a good thing to create conflicts among players."
Chen Qi thought for a moment and nodded.
He has the same view.
The most noteworthy thing about this game is the gang system. After all, only when players have conflicts will they fight, only then will they enhance their own attributes, and only then will online game revenue increase.
Thinking of this, Chen Qi suddenly couldn't help but laugh at himself: "I didn't expect that with the mentality of watching a joke, I actually learned something in the end. Can we do "Tianhu Travels"?"
The chief planner nodded: "Yes, just change the name, guild or escort agency. We can also optimize the gameplay. It can be seen that they are very anxious to launch this new version online, and many gameplays have not been completely perfected."
"Normally, the game "Fantasy OL" was too ugly before. Now maybe the planner has changed and is anxious to prove himself... I have to admit, it is indeed quite capable.
However, this is an opportunity for us. Our "Tianhu Travels" is a turn-based head game. This gameplay will be more effective. You take the essence and discard the dross and consolidate the advantage again. Remember to
Hurry, it is estimated that many games of the same type have noticed the gang system, and we must be the first to launch similar gameplay."
Chen Qi made a decision quickly.
Then he thought for a while and added: "But you should also pay attention to legal issues, ask legal questions when the time comes, and try to avoid unnecessary disputes."
"OK."
The chief planner nodded, then hesitated for a while, and asked: "Are there other things that need to be followed up? Things like the expression friend gameplay are easy to handle, but the equipment system and pet system are troublesome, but what's even more troublesome is
Cancel the point card system and...cancel all attribute props."
"Tianhu Travels", as a game five years ago, is still the leader of the same type of games. Of course, it also tested the waters of charging items. Although it is not as blatant as the old version before "Fantasy OL", it is better because of the large player base of the game.
Revenue has always been very good.
The same goes for clicking cards.
As the player base increases, the income in this area will be very large.
It's so big that no one wants to give it up.
"It is impossible for us to cancel the point card system. Even if I agree, the higher-ups will not agree. I have no confidence to convince the higher-ups."
really.
Chen Qi didn't even think about it and immediately refused: "Now I don't dare to pat my chest and say that canceling the point card system will be beneficial to the game. In the end, if there is a problem, no one is willing to take the responsibility. The same goes for charging for props. This
There is too much revenue in terms of revenue, this game..."
Chen Qi pointed to the "Fantasy OL" client on the screen: "It's just a test version, and there's not even any data to support the cancellation of point-based card attribute props. Their game was terrible before, and they can stand up after breaking it, but
We can't, because the size of our game means it's impossible to make such a U-turn."
"……I see."
The chief planner actually just mentioned it.
If he were asked to cancel the card system and attribute props, he would not be willing.
Because no one has ever walked this road.
As Chen Qi said.
Their "Tianhu Travels" is about the head. It is impossible to adjust such a big head. It is just for others to touch them to cross the river. If they don't see someone behind them swimming faster, they have to turn around and touch the people behind them.
At least it's impossible until there is enough data to support it.
They can only learn from those behind them.
"But having said that...what do you think will be the final effect of doing this? Tell me what you think."
After Chen Qi said those words, he suddenly felt palpitations for some reason. He looked at the so-called limited mount that was glimpsed on the screen and suddenly asked.
"Ah?" The chief planner didn't know what he was asking.
"The other party is drawing a lottery and offering limited mounts as rewards. After all the tricks have been exhausted, they insist on canceling the attribute props and point card system. It is obvious that relying on gameplay can attract people, and point cards and attribute props are a large amount of revenue."
Chen Qi crossed his arms and said, "But they just want to build... a very green mall in their words. With this change, what do you think the final revenue of their game will be like?"
"this……"
The chief planner hesitated, pondered for a long time, and then raised his head and said: "I don't know, no one has done this. They are the first to try this. This kind of thing puts ordinary players and gold players on the same starting line, and then doesn't sell it."
It is a game that only allows players to add money to speed up the development of the game. No one knows what the revenue will be, and they probably don’t even know the other party’s plan.”
"……Um."
Chen Qi didn't get the answer he wanted and was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it.
Because he doesn't know either.
The other party looked like he was trying to sell the pot and sell the iron, and then he got the A in the end.
Fight against the odds and fight. I won the young model at the venue, but I lost and went to work in the sea...
This is really difficult to predict, because there is no one on the market who does this.
"Don't think too much."
Chen Qi shook his head, as if talking to the chief planner, but also to himself: "It's just a test version. Our game has been in operation for so long. There is no reason to doubt the opponent's version because there are no problems on our road.
, no matter how popular the other party is, once players have figured out the new gameplay, they may lose interest in their game.
We can just pay a little attention to it, and the other party won’t worry about it. You can ask the event planner to organize an event this week and deal with it a little bit. We will follow our established route."
"Yeah." The chief planner nodded, with a look of agreement.
…
In chess, there is a term called hindsight.
The meaning is to fart afterwards.
And most people have actually done similar things to one degree or another.
But in fact, no one can know the future before something happens.
Who would have thought that PUBG would become such a hit?
Who would have thought that LOL, which was said to be a low-end version of DOTA at the time, could operate to this day, overpowering DOTA, which was at its peak at the time, and become the number one league in the country?
Who would have thought that Fantasy Westward Journey could operate for nearly 20 years?
