Chapter 22: The Essence of the Game
The network technology exchange festival was held for a week, and Lindy entered on Tuesday, so it was one day less and could only be displayed for six days, but since Lindy entered, his booth has become more and more popular, and by the weekend, it has become the most popular booth in the entire exhibition area.
Except for the first day of exhibition, there was a little trouble, but it was quickly quelled, and in the next four days, there has been no similar situation, but the name of New World Games that will never be discounted has become more and more popular, and many people have even come to see it for this reason.
In just four days, Lindy's booth has also changed a lot, with three new mobile phones and three 49-inch Tianya monitors added to the booth, plus the original set, which can now display four game screens at the same time.
Xu Yang They don't have much chance to play games anymore, and now their mobile phones are basically occupied by visitors, and they also called the classmates who helped Lindy build the booth before, a total of seven people are helping Lindy greet visitors.
Lindy will not be stingy with those who take the initiative to help him, 1000 labor fees per person per day, and two meals, everyone originally just wanted to help their seniors for free, but they got such a generous treatment, and their motivation was high. However, what made Lin Di a little crying and laughing was that several classmates just couldn't see Lin Di working, as soon as he made a move, he was immediately scolded, "Big brother, what do you mean, we take so much of your salary, and we can let your old man do things, underestimate our work ability, right?"
Then Lindy would be quickly pulled aside to rest.
At this time, Lindy could only sit on the side of the booth with Maomao in his arms, looking at the crowded visitors at the booth.
To be honest, he didn't expect his humble booth to be so popular.
"Now the total number of Tetris downloads has exceeded 1,100, including 500 natural downloads and 600 exhibition downloads. ”
1,100 downloads also means that Lindy now has nearly 300,000 on her bank card, and her daily income is still rising steadily.
Unexpectedly, a week ago, Lindy was still worried about the rent.
Today is Saturday, and the number of people at the exhibition has ushered in a climax this week, and before 9 o'clock in the morning, many visitors have already entered the venue. In just half an hour, dozens of people were already standing in front of Lindy's booth, looking at the monitor intently.
Visitors who come to him basically have to watch it for a while, and everyone is used to it.
"Yesterday there were 311 downloads a day, with an income of more than 80,000, and there are so many people today, I hope to break through 100,000 for the first time. "Lindy is now more and more confident.
"Maomao, is there any achievement in breaking 100,000 yuan a day?" asked Lindy as she played with Maomao's pair of big ears.
Maomao lay in Lindy's arms and shook her head.
"None of this, I really don't know how this achievement was set up. Lindy shook his head in disappointment, he is now very concerned about achievement rewards, although the reflexes and electric hands are not exaggerated to the point of going against the sky, but Lindy has noticed that the attribute bonus of the "first downloader" is only 10%, while the attribute bonus of the electric hand is 20%, at that time he was speculating whether the higher the achievement level, the more bonus achievements of the reward. Also, if the achievement reward will reward the same attributes, then the addition of these ten percent and twenty percent is very terrifying.
Even if his guess was not correct, there were so many attribute bonuses, in fact, such a small bonus was enough for him to reach heights in some fields that others could not reach.
Unfortunately, the achievement system will not tell him what he has achieved.
"Forget it, develop the game well, I believe that the system will not have only two achievements. ”
Since it's unpredictable, do what you need to do now.
"Tetris has been downloaded 10,000 times for this mission, and now one-ninth of them have been completed. ”
"Speaking of which, I really kind of wonder what the new game will be. ”
Lindy was thinking about her mind when suddenly, someone in the crowd made a loud noise.
"Brother Lindi, the TV station is here and wants to interview you. It was Xu Yang who came to help.
"From the TV station?" When Lindy heard it, he didn't understand what was going on, but Lindy still walked towards Xu Yang.
Sure enough, behind Xu Yang, there were several people around, a delicate-looking girl with a microphone in her hand, and among the several men opposite her, there was a burly one, and the camera on his shoulder blocked his face.
"Who are you?"
"Ah, this is our boss, Mr. Lindy, I can't answer the questions you ask me, so you should interview him. After Xu Yang finished speaking, he quickly pulled Lin Di in front of the host and retreated behind Lin Di, "Brother, I'm going to entertain customers, you can do it yourself here." ”
Looking at the other party's posture, it is indeed from the TV station, Lindy glanced at the logo on the microphone in the host's hand, which said Z City City Channel.
As a third-tier city, Z City also has its own TV station, although it cannot be compared with provincial TV stations in the whole country, but the locals of Z City, basically no one does not know the city channel, after all, it is all happening at home, which is closer to the lives of ordinary people than the national events in the news network.
But why did the TV interview me? Lindy wondered.
"You're Lindy?" the beautiful host looked at Lindy curiously.
"Ah, it looks like it's me. Lindy was a little dumbfounded when answering the question, which made the host laugh.
"What is "like" is "you, you are you, if you are not, it is not." ”
"Oh, that's me, how do you know about me? Also, you're here to interview me?"
"The network technology exchange festival is such a big thing, how can we not come to the interview, yes, before the interview, we first went to the teacher Zhang who was in charge of this event to understand the situation, she recommended your booth to us, she said that your booth is a game sector that is very important in the world, and you are not very old, it is very rare to develop such a popular game. ”
"Of course, it's also because we see that your popularity here is really strong, so I want to interview you, I don't know if it's inconvenient. ”
It turned out to be recommended by Teacher Zhang, and Lindy really has to thank Teacher Zhang.
can be on TV, which manufacturer who comes to participate in the exchange festival doesn't want it, even if it's just a local TV station in Z City, but Lindy himself can only be regarded as a small manufacturer at most, as long as he can be on TV, it will definitely be good for him to become popular.
Lindy certainly had no opinion.
"How do you want to interview? Do you want to interview here?"
"No, Mr. Lindy, due to our limited interview time, our column group gave us only 7 minutes, and this venue is so big, there are many exhibitors, some big brands we must go to interviews, but if we walk around the interview, the time will definitely be too late, so we hope that the interviewed manufacturers will send representatives, we will interview in a unified manner, so that we can ......"
The beauty was gushing about their plan to Lindy, and suddenly, the host was stunned for a moment, staring at Lindy's arms with big eyes full of shock.
"Oh my God, this ...... What is this, so cute!"
Even the camera brother next to him put down the camera in surprise and looked at their host strangely.
Qin Yu, what's wrong? This little girl has always been serious and responsible in her work, why is she suddenly so out of shape.
Lindy didn't have to think about it, she already knew what was going on.
No matter what kind of beauty she is, she has almost no resistance in front of Mao Mao, and this beauty must have noticed Mao Mao in Lindy's arms.
"Ah, this is my pet. ”
"Can I hug her? Oh, it's so cute, you look at her eyes, watery, and those big ears, why are they so big? ”
"It's a rabbit and cat cross, and it's too small to leave me, but when she's a little older, I'll give you a hug. Lindy didn't want to refuse this beauty, but Maomao had too many secrets, especially the pair of wings behind him, and he had only let Su Nuo hug him so far.
Su Nuo believed Lin Di's nonsense, for fear of causing a bad impact on Mao Mao, so he never dared to touch Mao Mao's back, and he was familiar with Su Nuo after all, as for this beauty, Lin Di didn't know it at all, and of course he wouldn't give her a hug.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, I'll just take a look, it's so cute!"
"What's your name, little one? You look so cute, my sister likes you so much. ”
Qin Yu was teasing Mao Mao with his head down, and the staff over there waited for a while, and finally spoke, "Xiao Qin, it's not too early, our recording task is very tight...... When you're done recording, you'll play with the little one. ”
The staff's words finally made Qin Yu sober up.
"Oh, look at me, I'm sorry old horse. After speaking, Qin Yu wrinkled his nose at Mao Mao, "Little guy, I'll play with you later." ”
In fact, before Qin Yu played with Mao Mao, she had basically explained the interview method clearly.
It is that several people in charge are together, and the TV station is interviewed in a unified manner.
"Beauty, I heard what you just said, there's no problem, when will it start. ”
"Well, everyone else is here, you're the last, you come with us, and you can start the interview when you get to Aimi. ”
"Yes, good. ”
Soon, Lindy followed the interview team to Aimei's booth.
Aimei Network Technology Co., Ltd., mainly a company that develops photography and image processing software, has a market share of 12% among similar products in the domestic market, ranking among the top five in the Meitu app.
The fact that the interview team summoned the heads of other companies here for interviews can actually explain the status of this company.
However, Lindy has no interest in this company, he makes games, not beautiful pictures. What he was interested in was that he actually saw the staff of Qimeng here, could they also be interviewed?
Interviews began quickly, and although several companies were called in, they were interviewed one by one.
The first four companies, the first is Aimei, the second is an antivirus software company, the third is a company specializing in website technology, and the fourth is a start-up job site.
"As you can see, the exhibiting companies cover the most popular industries on the Internet, and we are constantly innovating and growing in Internet technology. ”
"Many viewers know that now the country attaches great importance to the game industry, and our Qimeng Network Technology Co., Ltd. in Z City has also achieved remarkable results in this emerging field. ”
"Mr. Wang, what new games have been prepared for you in this exchange festival? ”
Mr. Wang looks about forty years old, with a Chinese face, quite the style of the boss, "The host has won the award, and our dream is just starting, this exhibition, we have launched an upgraded version of the alphabet submarine, alphabet air combat." ”
"Alphabet air combat?" Qin Yu looked at Mr. Wang with curiosity.
Mr. Wang smiled calmly, "Yes, in air combat, not only have we moved the battlefield from underwater to the sky, but the direction of the characters will change a lot." ”
"The direction of the letters has changed, and what has changed?"
Mr. Wang pretended to smile mysteriously, "The game, it is to constantly challenge yourself to have fun, now I say more, the challenge is small, I hope you still go to the app store to download this game, and feel the fun in it yourself." ”
"Mr. Wang still likes to sell Guanzi, well, I hope you can support our own games, Qimeng Network Technology is the largest game development company in our city. ”
The next one is Lindy, Lindy straightened his clothes and put Maomao in his arms, but fortunately, the cameraman only photographed the upper body, which should not affect it.
"Speaking of games, we also have a game manufacturer participating in this exchange festival, which is New World Games. ”
Lindy's company name is very distinctive, although other manufacturers also develop games, such as Qimeng, for now, games have become a very important business component of their company, but their company names are called network technology companies and the like, only Lindy's company, very clearly called New World "Game" company.
"Mr. Lin, your company's Tetris, I heard that it is very popular at the exhibition, can you tell me what kind of game it is?"
Lindy also knew that the interview time was limited, so he had to introduce the game succinctly, "Well~ Simply put, it's a jigsaw puzzle game, what the player needs to do is to seamlessly put together the blocks of different shapes, and when the blocks fill a row, the blocks are eliminated and the player scores." ”
Lindy was very dissatisfied with her introduction, and it was still a little difficult to introduce Tetris in one sentence, and the key was that it could not reflect the appeal of the game.
"What Mr. Lin said is very simple, in fact, this game is very fun, through splicing squares, it can even meet Virgo's requirements for regular images, and when eliminating squares, it makes people feel more comfortable, in short, this game is very different from the games on the market, Xiaoyu also hopes that everyone can personally feel the happiness brought by this game. ”
I didn't expect Qin Yu to be able to help Lin Di speak, and Lin Di glanced at Qin Yu very gratefully.
"By the way, Mr. Lin, just now Mr. Wang said that the fun of the game lies in continuous challenge, do you agree with this point of view?"
Lindy thought for a moment, "I agree with Mr. Wang's statement, people who like to play games are people who like to accept challenges, but I want to add that I think the essence of games is that games can make people feel a sense of accomplishment more quickly." This sense of accomplishment can be manifested in winning, getting rewards, getting high scores, etc., so I think that the fun of the game lies in the challenge, but also in the fact that in the bizarre game world, experiencing a different sense of accomplishment is even more important than the innovation and playability of the game. ”
Lindy's words came after playing countless games, and here he came up with a new concept, the sense of accomplishment in games.
When is CS the coolest? When you get a lot of money? Buy all kinds of equipment? No, it's not, it's only when you kill enemies.
When is Warcraft the coolest? Creates a lot of soldiers? Upgrades technology? Heroes upgraded? No, it's the coolest time to defeat the enemy.
Winning is this sense of accomplishment.
Similarly, Tetris, why do people secrete more dopamine when the bar appears? Because a higher score brings a sense of accomplishment.
It's the same with online games, the sense of accomplishment of getting equipment, the sense of accomplishment of defeating the boss, is the sense of accomplishment again and again, which makes people linger in the game world.
Compared with the sense of achievement, the novelty of the gameplay is not long-lasting, and it is okay to play it.
However, in this world, people are still exposed to too few games, and their experience of games cannot be as profound as Lindy's, so Qin Yu still can't react after listening to Lindy.
"A sense of accomplishment?"
At this time, the interview time was almost over, and Qin Yu saw the staff nodding her watch at her, realizing that she couldn't delve into this issue, so she could only take it roughly.
"It seems that Mr. Lin has a different view of games, so let's see what kind of sense of accomplishment New World Games will bring us. ”
After the interview, Lindy returned to her booth.
Similarly, Wang Liguo also returned to the Qimeng booth, and after returning to the booth, Wang Liguo slapped the table backstage.
"Damn, a stinky boy with no hair grows, in order to push his own game, actually said in front of the TV that our new product is not good!"
The staff around him also accompanied Mr. Wang to be interviewed, and looked at Wang Liguo with some puzzlement at this time, "Mr. Wang, are you talking about that Lindy? ”
At first, he pretended to agree with my point of view, but then he said that the sense of accomplishment is above all else, think about our alphabet air combat, compared to the alphabet submarine, we just changed the gameplay, so that the characters are innovative from all directions, but this kid said this, this kind of innovation is not worth mentioning at all. ”
Compared with the alphabet submarine, the sense of achievement brought to the player has not changed much, that is, to eliminate the characters and break through the levels, and their biggest selling point this time is a lot of innovations in the alphabet air combat.
But what Lindy said just negated Qimeng's hard attempt.
"I have been paying attention to this kid for a long time, we screened out Zhang Rui from the background data and arranged for him to provoke the entire Jiangnan University, just so that our booth can become the most popular booth, but I let Lindy's kid destroy it, and now he still says this kind of thing on TV!" Wang Liguo took a sip of hot tea, "Boy, you can't even do a website, fight with me, see if I don't kill you!"
