In the Internet era, player communities have a natural tendency to compete.
Even in slow-paced turn-based online games.
Of course, the main focus of turn-based online games is development and social interaction.
But what is cultivation? It is to let your character grow, and the meaning of character growth, regardless of partial satisfaction for the party, is for most people to complete more challenging PVE... and to win in PVP.
What is social networking? Have fun playing games with friends. Lin Yao encourages team formation and the favorability system is for this purpose.
But in addition to this reason, socializing also means competitive comparison.
Wherever there are people, there will be competition and comparison.
This is inevitable.
A very simple truth.
Whether you say it's to show off or to give yourself a sense of satisfaction, in short, the more effort players put into character development and baby development, the more eager they will be to stand on the field and fight with others.
Take the gang material snatching method for example... If you think you may not be strong enough, choose the task of transporting materials to get rewards.
Then what is the purpose of getting rewards for transporting materials?
Isn’t it just to make your character grow?
This brings us back again.
What if.
Now Lin Yao has deleted the gang war and will not update any PVP gameplay.
Then the game will definitely be bad in the end.
Because this is an online game.
PVE has its limits. As the game develops and data expands, no matter how challenging PVE is, it will lose its original difficulty.
Even if you crazily stack attributes on PVE monsters, players will always get tired of it. If you don't get tired of it, Lin Yao doesn't have so many new PVE ways to play.
But PVP is different, it has strong strategic and random nature.
When the other party is not a mechanical AI, but a real person, everything becomes interesting.
From the perspective of revenue, PVP is also the point that can best stimulate player consumption.
No matter from the player level or the company level, adding PVP gameplay at this time is a good thing, at least at the current stage.
Because "Fantasy OL" has been overhauled and all attribute props have been deleted, non-money players can also get good benefits in the game. Everyone is on the same starting line. What players with money can get, ordinary players can get.
You can get something if you work hard.
It's just a matter of time.
This means that ordinary players are also interested in standing on the stage and fighting with others.
Coupled with the fun gameplay, players should be highly motivated.
certainly.
If online games continue to be updated, the gap between new players and old players will eventually widen to the point where it will be extremely difficult to catch up after spending time and effort...unless you top up the money.
At that time, adding new PVP will be asking for death, and most players will lose interest in it.
If we add some more krypton gold pets with a starting price of 8,000 yuan... the PVP gameplay will probably become the home field of krypton gold players.
But at that time, it was not just a matter of PVP...
But as online games are a commodity, problems will inevitably arise after years of operation.
It is not Lin Yao's turn to consider this matter yet.
It's better to do the things in front of you first.
The only thing she can guarantee is that while she is still in charge of planning, she will try her best to ensure the profits of non-money players in the game so that all players are interested in competing with others.
"...But, can these two gameplays really be achieved in a short time?"
Lin Yao looked at the thousands-word summary of the activity and gameplay that she had written eloquently, stretched out her hand to support her cheek, and thought of a new question.
Although sure to update both activities.
But whether it can be done is another question.
Hard resources such as art and programming can be accumulated with money, but they cannot be accumulated so quickly.
The scale of outsourcing parties is only that large.
Two new activities are being developed simultaneously.
I guess it's enough.
Moreover.
The new version seems to have spent all the budget... I don't know if Miss Mu will get a new budget.
"Lin Yao."
"Huh? It's just the right time, Miss Mu."
Lin Yao turned around and said that Cao Cao has arrived.
She was just about to ask about the budget when Mu Wanqing came.
"What's wrong?" Mu Wanqing came to Lin Yao holding the information, gently pushed the temples of her glasses, and asked curiously.
"money."
Lin Yao stretched out her hand.
"Ah?" Mu Wanqing was stunned.
Lin Yao explained: "Budget, I plan to update two new activities for the game. I need your support. I really need it."
Mu Wanqing suddenly realized: "Budget... I just want to tell you this. Support from above has come. A batch of programs will be transferred to our department. Then the art department will give priority to completing orders for our projects, and the budget will be supplemented."
Already."
"Is there anyone else?"
Lin Yao glanced at the screen in front of her and said, "Then we can speed up. I was still thinking about whether to give up an activity first, but it doesn't seem necessary now."
“The event was confirmed so soon?”
Mu Wanqing held the information and looked at Lin Yao in surprise.
Yesterday it was said that it would be updated every two weeks, and today the event is confirmed.
The speed is also too fast.
Lin Yao typed out the activity summary she had coded: "I typed it out, please take a look."
"Okay, then this is the program list. You should also take a look."
Mu Wanqing handed the information in her arms to Lin Yao, and went to the printer to get the activity summary.
Lin Yao lowered her head and glanced at the list.
In the list given by Mu Wanqing, some were checked and some were crossed.
I have no impression at all of the ticked person named Lin Yao.
She did know a few of the people underlined.
These are all people who ran away from Director Bucket before.
"Miss Mu is quite vindictive."
Lin Yao put down the information and smiled, not surprised at all.
Not for a while.
Mu Wanqing is back.
She looked down at the gameplay summary on her hand and walked forward. Perhaps she was so absorbed in watching it that she almost bumped into Lin Yao.
Lin Yao stood up quickly, held her shoulders, and said helplessly: "Miss Mu, please look at the road."
"I know."
Mu Wanqing came back to her senses, responded perfunctorily, then raised the printing paper with the scent of ink in her hand, and said: "It's very interesting, Lin Yao, these two ways of playing are very interesting, it's really hard to imagine
You came up with this in one night, it's really amazing."
Lin Yao let go of her shoulders and said vaguely: "It wasn't just one night, I had similar thoughts before."
"That's pretty awesome too."
"Well... let's not mention this for now. Since you think it is feasible, let's prepare. I plan to have two activities online at the same time. Since the outsourcer is more familiar with the game, we will hand over the Havoc in Heaven to them, and internally we will
The people transferred here will be responsible for fighting for supplies."
"Are the two activities going together? Everything else is fine. The planning team has such a heavy workload, are you okay?" Mu Wanqing was a little worried.
"I'm fine."
Lin Yao smiled: "Believe me, get online as soon as possible."
"……I see."
Mu Wanqing thought for a moment, nodded, and chose to believe Lin Yao: "Then I will contact the outsourcer immediately."
"Um."
Lin Yao handed the list back to her: "You can also take this information. You are the leader. Show me what you are doing."
Mu Wanqing took the list and shook her head slightly: "I want to show it to you, and I also want to ask for your opinion. I plan on Zhong Xiu to be the one.
Team leader, what do you think?"
"Okay, it's not like Zhong Xiu is incompetent. There were no problems with the new version this time. Not only was the outsourcer reliable, but also because he acted as a goalkeeper and performed his duties diligently. He worked with us to create the new version at the most difficult time.
It would be a shame for us to turn around and treat him as an ordinary program, and so does Zhu Nianqiao."
"I see."
Mu Wanqing thought about it and felt that it was right.
"Then I've started writing the plan. Is there anything else?" Lin Yao pulled up her chair and sat down.
"Yes, what exactly is the 'development manager meeting' you mentioned yesterday? Do I need to make any preparations now? I always feel that this is a very bad thing..."
"You'll know when the time comes." Lin Yao blinked, a flower-like smile blooming on her face, trying to get through.
Mu Wanqing glanced at Lin Yao suspiciously, and after a moment of silence, she said helplessly: "Okay, then I have one more thing to tell you. Do you know "The Travels of the Sky Fox"?"
"Um... the big brother of the turn-based online game?" Lin Yao thought for a while, feeling somewhat impressed.
"Yes, they are also going to launch an escort game similar to the gang system." Mu Wanqing said with some worry.
Lin Yao was a little shocked: "So fast? What's the effect?"
I copied it too quickly.
Mu Wanqing shook her head: "I don't know yet, it hasn't been officially launched yet, but I do know the reason why they are so anxious to launch the gang system. It seems that some players have come to our game."
"It's not online yet, so that's okay."
Lin Yao breathed a sigh of relief, then pointed at her screen and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry too much about Miss Mu. Anyway, not long after their gang system came out, our new activities will be online. Let them catch up slowly..."
