Chapter 462: Make a small profit
The performance of the Summer Festival is set in a 2+1 mode, and the third day is a summary performance of various performances and an award ceremony, and the Summer Festival comes to an end with laughter and laughter.
According to official statistics, there were about 240,000 booths in the exhibition, with an average daily flow of more than one million, and the security department was responsible for keeping nearly 10,000 pieces of lost property, which was so large that half of Tokyo's police force was dispatched to find the owner.
The amount of money and goods in circulation in the venue is huge, and at the same time, it has stimulated economic growth in accommodation, catering, tourism, shopping and other aspects, and has made a great contribution to GDP growth. This is the reason why the Dragon Kingdom officially recognizes the four major anime festivals.
As soon as the summer festival came to an end, countless people were looking forward to the arrival of the Imperial Capital Carnival in six months. The capital is half of the home of Station B, and if they can, fans and vendors hope to see Qingbai at the carnival venue.
Anime festivals usually have the most people on the first day, and then the flow of people decreases day by day, but the summer festival is different, the second day is not a weekend, but there are more people than the first day, and anyone with a discerning eye can see who these people are coming for. However, Tokyo is far from the mainland, and there are not many fans who can arrive at the scene, so there is no need to worry about Qingbai appearing at the Imperial Capital Carnival, all the transportation modes to the capital are all superimposed, and the throughput of tourists per day can reach 10 million, which can definitely meet the needs of fans.
It's a pity that it's too difficult to see Qingbai's side, he has only participated in two animation festivals since his debut, and even the prices of books, magazines, albums, and CDs with Qingbai's signature have been high before, and fans jokingly call Qingbai "one word ten thousand gold".
Station B grandly launched a fan-oriented competitive game - "Fantasy Front" at the Animation Festival.
The content of the game is only a few words in the end, that is, anime character smash brawl. Its exquisite painting style, violent combo blow, character movements without a sense of stiffness, gorgeous skills, rich equipment system, and a variety of gameplay are all addictive. If it weren't for the number of times the trial could be played, players would never have stepped down.
Wang Ming originally planned to use the popularity of the Anime Festival to promote the game, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good. Hundreds of entertainment newspapers and game media reported that "Fantasy Front" was pushed to the altar in one fell swoop, becoming the fourth most anticipated online game of the year.
"Station B actually came up with an anime smash brawl game, and it's especially competitive, hurry up and watch. ”
When the summer festival was held, Li Ye was unable to participate due to work and geographical relations, but after hearing the news from a friend who participated, he boarded the computer as soon as possible.
Li Ye is engaged in game production, and the popular point is that he writes code, and his company is known for making mobile games, although the games produced by the company are tepid, but the salary he receives is enough for a family of three to live a well-off life.
He is a fan of station B, from the time of the Oriental Young Spirit Dream to chase, until the recent launch of the VR game fgo of station B, he has played, in the eyes of his industry insiders, the operability of these games is a bit outdated, but this is not a problem at all. There are not many games that operate explosions, but they are by no means none, and none of them are as popular as these "outdated games" made by Qingbai.
He has carefully analyzed the game works on the market and found that the popular games, after excluding the influence of the times, most of the games have in-depth exchanges with the audience. Whether it is an enlightening story or a spiritual baptism, what players feel shocked by from the game is not the outdated things such as operations and graphics, but the communication between the producer and the player and the truth taught by the story.
However, this time, the outside world expressed concern about the prospect of new tours at Station B.
There are many reasons for the decline of competitive games, and anyone who follows the gaming industry can name two or three, but there is one thing that most people overlook, and that is the existence of VR games.
"Free VR online game = Internet second world = human immortality possible" This equation was put forward in the early stage of the vigorous development of VR technology, and now VR games are indeed developing in this direction, but unfortunately on the road to development, competitive games need to be fully free or semi-free control, but with the current technology, it is impossible to make games that meet the conditions, which has a very embarrassing phenomenon, the development time of competitive games with large production and large cost is long, and maybe it will be replaced by new technology in the second year, resulting in no return for investors。
The competitive game market has fallen into a strange circle, and in the eyes of outsiders, it has become an illusion that competitive games have been eliminated. However, Li Ye knows that as long as human beings are still competitive, competitive games will not become obsolete.
Log in to Penguin, click on the game production group established in the name of the school, and as soon as you click on it, you can see that someone is peddling the inside number of "Fantasy Front". He was surprised to find that the number of transactions in a 100 yuan game is only in single digits, which is a huge gap compared to other games.
When the game official conducts the internal test of the deleted file, it usually finds some game technical or industry personnel to help evaluate it, and the main activity of this group is to check the game BUG. As small as dozens or hundreds, as large as hundreds of thousands of activation codes to start, these people as long as they can find one or two bugs can completely return to the cost, if they find a major BUG can even make a lot of money, so every time a new game is released, the group will become extremely lively.
Now the group is also very lively, but the evaluation is not optimistic. The mainstream idea in the group is that ""Fantasy Front" cannot meet the requirements of alternating between the old and new eras, but Li Ye personally feels good about this game.
The characters in the game are all anime characters, that is to say, each character is burdened with the prestige of the character, like the recent popular FGO, once everyone's coveted Shuangzhen appears in the game, players can smoothly transfer his love for Joan of Arc in FGO to the game, which means that each character of "Fantasy Front" has a sufficient fan base congenitally, and directly achieved the fan effect pursued by other competitive games before the start of the server.
On the basis of the character model, make some character skills with similar or identical effects, and the player's sense of substitution will be stronger, even if the theme of the game limits the player group, but Li Ye believes that as long as the game becomes popular, more people will definitely choose this competitive game.
He was very sure that this game would be popular, so he did not hesitate to pay 100 yuan to choose to buy it, and at the same time spoke in the game group of Station B he managed, """Fantasy Front" deleted the internal test code, containing 10 gold coins, the number is limited, and the price of wanting to buy is a private chat. ”
This sentence of Aite everyone's speech made the group clear in an instant, and then he received countless friend applications, he smiled and clicked on these friend applications, selected those with high quotations, and passed them one by one.
"That's the price you pay for underestimating the white fans. ”
