Chapter 289: The True Merchant
I remember that I was quite disdainful of this game when I first developed it, but now that the development of this game has been completed, the degree of development and attractiveness are far higher than I imagined.
The guilt in my heart became a little thicker.
"Alright...... It doesn't matter, it's just a game. Lin Xi waved his hand and didn't care: "The matter of League of Legends is your top priority." ”
"I know Mr. Lin!" Liu Shu nodded seriously, and the atmosphere returned to normal office again: "The effect of Angry Birds development is quite good, and the rewards behind the development team will be sorted out by Bai Xu and then announced." ”
"Good. Bai Xu nodded, and took notes on what Lin Xi said.
"Hmm...... How many levels are there in the current level mode?" Lin Xi asked, and Qu Hai hurriedly replied: "There are eight scenes in total, two hundred and twenty-four levels, and the subsequent levels and scene modes will continue to increase." ”
"It took about a month to be able to update two new scenes. ”
"Hmm......" Lin Xi nodded, pondering for a moment, although Angry Birds is a good well-known IP, and it is also popular all over the world, but for such a game, the early development is okay.
In the later stage, it's a pure money-making game.,There's no creativity.,You have to pay to open a scene level.,Not to mention what a lot of advertising.,As a result, the popularity of this game has dropped rapidly after just a little more than a year.。
"This game shouldn't have to be all about that. ”
"After the Angry Birds game is developed, there is no need to increase the recharge system, and there is no need to access ads, you just need to do a good job of this game in the future. ”
Lin Xi looked at a few people and made this decision.
"Don't open the recharge system? Advertisements won't be accepted?" A few people were stunned, Qu Hai and Bai Xu were okay, they didn't understand the meaning of not opening the game recharge, but Liu Shu and Zhang Ning understood this thing?
The online game on the market now has no recharge system and does not access advertising to make money.
Just cut it directly?
Liu Shu and Zhang Ning glanced at each other, looking at Lin Xi with a firm expression, Liu Shu asked with some excitement: "Mr. Lin, do you mean that the game does not open the recharge system, so where does our revenue come from...... Although we also want to make a game with a good reputation. ”
"But...... This is simply unrealistic, there is no recharge system, which means that this game development team is eating rice. ”
"Mr. Lin, I know you want to build an ideal game world, but this ......" Liu Shu was very excited, and looked at him with some admiration.
For game developers like them, it is their goal to be able to make a game with a conscience, but unfortunately the copper smell of games is too strong in the current market!
No matter what is full of the smell of money, they, the ideal game developers, are most unaccustomed to this kind of manufacturer behavior who don't care about making games and only want to make money, but they didn't expect Lin Xi's words to go directly to their hearts.
Suddenly, a feeling of emotion and admiration instantly rose from my heart.
"Mr. Lin is an industry benchmark wherever he goes!"
"I'm so adored!"
Liu Shu's heart was full of pimples, and Zhang Ning also had a surprised expression, Qu Hai and Bai Xu understood now.
Mr. Lin...... Without revenue, this monthly expense is not a small burden. Qu Hai whispered, and Bai Xu also looked at Lin Xi: "Does Mr. Lin have any other ideas?"
Looking at the different expressions of several people, Lin Xi smiled and looked at everyone with a smile: "What do you think? The ultimate goal of an enterprise is for profit, who will do thankless things?"
"Now Lingxi Technologist can afford the expenditure of these games, what if one day Lingxi Technology is also not good, who can raise these money-swallowing machines?" Lin Xi looked at a few people and asked rhetorically.
"So, Mr. Lin, what do you mean?" Lin Xi explained, but everyone was a little confused, the game does not open the recharge system, nor does it open any advertising access, what do you rely on to make money.
Looking at the confused expressions of several people, Lin Xi scolded with a smile: "Okay, okay, I don't understand this!"
"Making games is not only about the money you can see, but also the soft income that you can't see, and the income we are cutting off now is just hard money. ”
"But we haven't cut off soft income yet. ”
"Soft income, what is that?" Bai Xu asked curiously.
"Soft income is culture, popularity, IP, do Disney's little princesses understand? Others have made so many movies, do you really think you can make money?"
"But the fame of other people's little princesses is there, Disney dolls, little lions, and old ducks can always attract many people to enter the consumption. ”
"Invisibly, the benefits of relying on these soft revenues far outweigh the profits brought by shooting this character themselves. ”
"Angry Birds can play without making money, but we can make a game like this exquisite, and the coverage is as large as possible!"
"In the future, I will set up a cultural company that specializes in selling Angry Birds doll merchandise, the big movie of the same name, the well-known IP licensing of game characters, or like Disney. ”
On the one hand, you don't have to fall into the money eye, so that the word-of-mouth benefits can be harvested, and on the other hand, it can also enhance the image value of the enterprise. ”
"It's not the best of both worlds, you only see one side of the loss, it's that you see too shallowly, so you're not fit to be a businessman, and I'm not fit to be a businessman. ”
"A businessman who takes into account the value of society and the interests of the enterprise. ”
"Here's a revised plan for the user's health care system, which was developed first, and the first thing to control was the strictest. ”
Lin Xi smiled and handed a document in his hand to Qu Hai, and several people were still stunned with a look of aftertaste, still thinking about what Lin Xi said just now.
After a pause, Bai Xu's eyes flashed and looked at Lin Xi and said, "Mr. Lin is Mr. Lin, of course he thinks more than us...... How else could it be the boss?"
"That's it!" Mr. Lin really ......" Zhang Ning pursed his lips and made a thumbs-up gesture seriously, not as noble as he imagined to develop a good game regardless of the cost.
Even made more money from this game, but it was said from Lin Xi's mouth in a different direction, which made him feel that Lin Xi was even more talented! Without the aura of "noble", it was even more admirable.
It is precisely as Lin Xi said: "He is a real businessman, but a businessman who takes into account social values and corporate interests." ”
"It's a blessing to have such a leader!" Liu Shu and the others said in their hearts.
"Damn!" Qu Hai on the side did look at the plan in his hand and burst out of a foul language at an inopportune time, looking at the plan in his hand, his eyes glared at the boss.
"Mr. Lin, is this health care system too strict?" Qu Hai swallowed and looked at Lin Xi and asked.
"What's too strict?" A few people next to him were a little surprised, took the document and glanced at it, and their eyes stared at the boss in unison.
Zhang Ning muttered a sentence: "Children under the age of 10 are limited to half an hour a day, and those over the age of 10 and under the age of 14 are limited to one hour." ”
"There is a limit of two hours per day for those aged 14 to 16, five hours for those aged 16 to 18, and seven hours for adults over 18. ”
"Adults have restrictions, and this is too strict for teenagers, right?"
Zhang Ning looked confused, how can this attract users, as soon as this care system comes out, it will scare away a lot of users, right?
"Mr. Lin, is this care system too strict?" Zhang Ning asked.
"Strict? Okay, it's quite strict, teenagers and children are already at an age when their minds are not yet fully developed, and this age should not expose him to too many games. ”
"And...... You don't understand, as long as our health care system comes out, although it will lose some users, but for the people. ”
"On the contrary, it is a good thing, we have raised the threshold of the industry, and we may be scolded by other manufacturers when the time comes!"
"We've done a casual game, what are they talking about and not doing?"
"The current health care system is developed according to this plan, and the follow-up will be modified according to the relevant regulations or the development of social trends and the positioning of the game. ”
"But there is an unchanged premise, users under the age of 14, this regulation cannot be relaxed, use real-name authentication. ”
"Later, a large database will be made, responsible for analyzing the behavior in the game, conducting age screening, and trying not to do so many loopholes. ”
"And ...... Qu Hai. Lin Xi continued to speak, and Qu Hai hurriedly nodded and listened seriously.
"The potential for Angry Birds is much more than that, and you can also learn from the experience of other casual games, such as Snake. ”
"Even the experience of online games to develop such a game, don't be too restricted, just give full play to your imagination, and if you have any ideas, you can immediately sort them out and report them. ”
Lin Xi instructed to learn from the experience of the previous Angry Birds, or the experience of all casual games, so that the life of the game does not seem so short.
Enhance the playability of the game, that's all that matters.
"Okay, don't worry, Mr. Lin, I will definitely develop and operate this game with my heart!" Qu Hai replied seriously.
"Let's get ready to warm up, after all, it's our first game, and it has to have a momentum that suits it. ”
