Dai Yunfei took Li Feng and Xu Zhengxuan into his office, turned on a computer, and entered the game program of the beta version of "Mixed Yuan Swordsman".

Li Feng knows that Xu Zhengxuan is a game master, when he was a child, he played red and white machines, and all kinds of games can be easily cleared, maybe he can provide a lot of good suggestions for this online game.

"Xuanxuan, you can experience it first. Li Feng said.

"Okay. Of course, Xu Zhengxuan was most happy to play the game, so he immediately sat down in front of the computer and played attentively.

In just a few minutes, Xu Zhengxuan was already familiar with the basic operation of this game, and he said while playing: "I have played the stand-alone version of "Mixed Yuan Swordsman", and this time it has been upgraded to the online version, the effect is quite good, and the style is relatively unified with the original stand-alone version. ”

During the conversation, the swordsman controlled by Xu Zhengxuan had been upgraded to three levels, and looking at his sloppy operation, Dai Yunfei on the side was amazed.

"Li Feng, your cousin's operation level is first-class, it seems that he is a game master, we need such talents now. Dai Yunfei said.

"That's not it, although this kid's academic performance is a mess, but he is a good hand at playing games, and I couldn't play him when I was a child. Li Feng didn't forget to tease him a few words, "Xuan Xuan, after playing, help find the details in the game that are not in place, this game needs to be further improved." ”

"Got it. Xu Zhengxuan was complained a few words by Li Feng, and suddenly felt a little unhappy, glanced at Li Feng, and turned to look at Dai Yunfei, "By the way, Brother Dai, if you need someone to help you make a game experience, I am on standby." ”

"Your kid has just started school, and classes will officially start tomorrow, how can you be on call at any time. Li Feng said, "Also, your network is still waiting to be updated, how can you have time to play games." ”

Xu Zhengxuan then remembered that his next task was still very arduous, so he couldn't help but sink his raccoon's face and didn't speak again.

"Li Feng, according to the time schedule, do you think it is appropriate to open the internal test in mid-September? If the internal test starts in mid-September, then it should be basically completed in a month, and we will seize the time to adjust and modify the internal test feedback, so that the public beta can be opened in November, in this way, it is expected that it will be officially launched on New Year's Day in 2003. Dai Yunfei said.

"In terms of schedule, we will do it according to your schedule, in short, try to be officially launched on New Year's Day in 2003. As for the version upgrade and adjustment of the game, this can be changed from development to operation, which is also the biggest advantage of online games. Li Feng said.

Unlike the previous stand-alone version of the game, the stand-alone version of the game must be developed at one time before it can be sold to the public, but the online version can continue to be developed for a long time, so the internal test and public beta basically solve the problem of hard damage.

"I think a total of 10,000 numbers will be released in this closed beta, the first batch of 1,000, and then the subsequent batches will be opened depending on the situation. Dai Yunfei said.

"Who are you going to distribute these beta numbers to?" Li Feng asked, "We need players with a certain amount of experience to make suggestions for improving this game, and it is best to distribute an electronic version of the questionnaire through the game, which requires a group of players with a certain quality." ”

"Yes, players with a certain amount of experience and quality are not easy to find, I plan to put them in Jinshan Lake University Town in the first batch and gather a thousand college players. There are 100,000 students in this university town, and it is definitely not a small idea to gather 1,000 people. Dai Yunfei said.

Li Feng nodded: "It's good to put it locally, so that you can carry out market research, and if necessary, you can even gather a group of players to visit your company and ask them to give their opinions." This kind of on-site interaction is much better than online. ”

Market research is costly, and in many cases, even if money is spent, the data from the survey may not be true. Therefore, Dai Yunfei chose to conduct the first batch of internal testing in Jinshan Lake University Town, which is the most cost-effective from an economic point of view, and the cost of promotion in the university town is much lower than that in the market.

What's more, the students in this university town are highly qualified, so the accuracy of the survey is a more realistic reflection of the quality of the current game.

In the interval between the two of them chatting, Xu Zhengxuan had already been promoted to level eight, and he had also changed into a new set of equipment, which looked decent.

"In the current version, we have reduced the experience points, so that we can level up faster and experience more content when we experience it. Dai Yunfei introduced, "The actual version, the upgrade experience is ten times that of the current one. ”

Xu Zhengxuan thought for a while and said: "Brother Dai, I think the current experience value setting is very reasonable, if the upgrade experience is increased to ten times that of the experience version, it will make the game boring to play." ”

Li Feng nodded when he heard this, indeed, in the early development of the batch of online games, in order to prolong the online time of the player's game, the experience points required for each level were often raised to a high level, and the player had to upgrade in ten days and half a month, and this kind of game experience was actually relatively poor.

It's just that in the environment at that time, the competition in the online game industry was not fierce, and players had little choice, so they could only spend a lot of time on hang-up, and even gave birth to a gray industry chain called "plug-in".

"I also agree with Xuan Xuan's opinion that the game should be designed to ensure that players get enough feedback, and leveling up is one of the important feedback indicators, which can ensure that the player's leveling process is smooth enough by increasing the number of levels and decreasing the experience points of each level, but without losing the time the game is online. Li Feng said, "Xuanxuan, you have almost experienced it, list your specific experience to Yunfei, and then we have to discuss one more thing." ”

Li Feng came to the whole today, and it is the game copyright operation of the network.

This work is a precedent for the entire market at present, and now even the genuine subscription of the network has just begun, and the awareness of copyright in the market is actually not strong, and the huge IP value of the network is not recognized.

Especially in the field of games, the risk of developing a game is relatively high due to the long cycle and large investment. If no one plays the game that has been made with great difficulty, the loss will be much worse than the Internet hitting the streets.

Therefore, the essence of online game copyright operation is to reduce the risk of game development. After all, a successful network has gathered a large number of readers, and these people are also the main force of online games, so the gamification adaptation can attract a large number of fans at the beginning, opening a smooth channel for the marketing of the game.
