Chapter 57: Turning over

There is a process from the proposal to the practice of the theoretical system.

Compared with Pavlov, other manufacturers certainly have more practical experience in the field of games.

When they found a suitable theory, they naturally became more powerful in the design of the game.

"It's not a good thing if we think of traditional video games as more and more niche, more and more central. We have to get more people to play the game. Then we need to make changes to the way we play the game.

It's not the same as it was ten years ago, it's twenty years ago.

There are so many more ways to be entertained now than there used to be.

Our previous competitors in video games were paper books, comics, TV series, movies. Now it's more communicative, and you can even go to the store to read it on your mobile phone.

The latest mobile phones, even TV can be watched.

In such a situation, except for a small number of deep players, most shallow players are not as needed for video games as they used to be.

Even, in the face of difficult games, these shallow players will not think about spending time to tackle, but give up as soon as possible and let them go to other entertainment.

So, we're going to make changes to video games.

We can find that Pavlov's "Love Simulator" is different from traditional video games. I'd rather call this game a babysitter software.

I hate to admit it, but I have to say it.

The main group of paying players of "Love Simulator" is those relatively young girls. Most of them don't have brains at times.

Yes, it's not that they have small brains!

Compared with boys, they pay more attention to their appearance, and they are more willing to go with the flow, and even bully others in a group, they are stronger than boys of the same age.

And this kind of brainless girl, although most of the time in life seems to be lively. But in fact, they are quite lonely inside.

I want to have a good man by my side.

Of course, most of the time, they don't find good men.

Because it's not possible for a good man to go to a girl who has no brains.

And these girls feel that they are naturally excellent, and those boys who pursue them are all very young and mentally retarded guys.

And the various characters in "Love Simulator", although they have their own shortcomings, their advantages are all the advantages that girls of this age want their opposite-sex partners to have.

Like those good girls, they often like that kind of ruffian boys.

Even in reality, it is not uncommon for them to embark on the vicious route for the sake of these boys.

For example, those girls who look like big sisters often prefer the kind of boys who are weak and white-faced.

The reason why they choose this way is because they feel that distance produces beauty. It's because they like the strangeness.

And "Love Simulator" can allow everyone to find this experience at a low cost.

An experience built from the ground up to meet the needs of players.

I've put these elements together into a theory. I call this theory the mentally handicapped nanny theory.

The game we need to make is a game for people who are mentally retarded and easily deceived.

Maybe some of you here think it's too inhumane?

No, it's humane.

Only if we educate them now, they will not be deceived even more.

I'm done. ”

The young man with a black pen walked off the stage, and the middle-aged people in their forties and fifties looked at each other.

What this young man said was completely different from what they understood as a video game.

In their time, the main difficulty in making a video game was also in the electronic implementation.

Even the old people in this group who understood Atari's arcade substrate in the first place wasted a lot of effort.

They are invested in hardware, and to be honest, they don't have any control over the player's psychology.

At that time, the players were very satisfied, and all they needed was novelty and sensory stimulation.

Whoever can provide more novel gameplay and more beautiful special effects will be able to sell better.

Who would have thought that one day players would be able to care less about special effects and more about a psychological experience?

And, from the perspective of game theory, is this theory that treats me as mentally retarded as really good?

However, the big boss who was sitting in the middle of the two rows and facing the projection screen had no doubts.

This man, who seemed to be an extreme boss, raised his head and said only one word, "Do." ”

As a result, this traditional video game company began to enter the still blue ocean of mobile games.

And this theory of mentally handicapped nannies has also become the guiding theory of this company.

The Wanhu Game Research Institute is also developing such a game, and even regards this project as their main project.

The talents left here may not be able to keep up with the development of the times. But their basic skills are still very deep.

Although they have not summed up a completely new set of theories on their own, they have a very strong ability to imitate highly. There is also a very strong ability to outperform the blue.

Among the many game manufacturers that produce similar products, the game of Wanhu Game Research Institute is the second game to appear on mobile phones on a large scale after "Love Simulator".

Although it is the second place, it still seems to have an advantage in the first place.

However, compared to the cost of Pavlov's promotion of the game, the cost of 10,000 households is already much larger.

Why is that?

This is because telecom providers have already identified the business opportunities and understood how many companies are waiting to get on the mobile phone channel.

Therefore, they can raise the price without fear, and if you don't think it's worth it, you don't come.

If you don't come, someone else will come.

When Wanhu said that the game research institute made its game installed capacity inseparable from "Love Simulator". They have already spent at least ten times more on promotion than Pavlov.

Of course, ten times or even a hundred times, this is a drop in the bucket for 10,000 households.

However, this is not the case for the Wanhu Institute.

You must know that Wanhu said that this institute has been marginalized for some time.

These resources have been allocated by them with all their might.

Fight with all your might.

Perhaps, after this failure, the Wanhu Game Research Institute will not exist in the future.

However, if it succeeds this time, then Wanhu will become a new star.

Perhaps, in the game production sequence of Wanhu's own family, it will become the vanguard.
