Chapter 64: Classic Dreams
Turning his head to see Xu Bo's eager face, Lin Feng smiled. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Lao Xu, can't wait?"
Xu Bo said with a smile: "Seeing that the brothers are going well, our dream studio will also show you your merits!"
Lin Feng was amused by him: "Oh, look, what do you want to perform?"
Xu Bo connected the notebook to the projection.
While clicking on the game icon, he said: "Although it is not as fast as Lao Yao and them, but the development of our "Fantasy Journey to the West" project is also nearing completion, if nothing else, the technical closed test can be carried out next month." Come on, I'll show you first!"
The landing page of the game, which is very eye-catching at the top, is full of interesting fantasy Journey to the West LOGO, in the background of the colorful mountain village in the comic book style, the "group of four" in the cartoon version of Journey to the West is riding a horse and is on the road, so that people who have been familiar with the story of Journey to the West since childhood can understand the theme of the game at a glance, which is full of attraction.
After entering the account and logging in, the character setting page is a sea of fairy mountains and clouds with classical temperament, with an ink background, a Q version of a handsome young man, standing with his chest crossed, carrying a long sword, and heroic. Although it is a cartoon image, it vaguely reveals an elegant and fairy-like temperament.
Lin Feng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "Liu Qi's art is really good, I want to give him a thumbs up for this painter!"
In Lin Feng's heart, the most important project of the game business group is actually "Fantasy Journey to the West", which is no exaggeration to say that this is an amazing cash cow with a long life cycle.
The mission of "Audition" is to transfer users of Wuai Music Network to game users, and achieve zero breakthroughs in games. But the heyday of this game is at most 3 to 5 years, and as a generation of young people grows up, the simple dance music mode and couple mode will slowly weaken the stickiness of users.
"Journey" is a typical money-making game that aims to bring considerable cash flow to the company, but to be honest, this naked RMB game is easy to criticize.
Only "Fantasy Journey to the West", Xu Bo's imaginative planning brings extremely rich content, diversified gameplay and an expansive plot, which can allow users to continuously experience new content and fun, and the viscosity is very high. In the previous life, "Fantasy Journey to the West" lasted for ten years and became a classic in the history of online games.
It is precisely because of this that although Ding Sanshi has helped him and the relationship between the two is not bad, after Lin Feng hesitated, he was still determined to dig Xu Bo, and did not hesitate to have a dislike with Ding Sanshi who reacted in the future, and also wanted to pocket this classic game.
Now after half a year of development, Xu Bo said that the game will be completed soon, and Lin Feng is looking forward to it!
"Let me briefly introduce some of the features of "Fantasy Journey to the West", today you have listened to the content of several other games, our game is different from the casual online game of "Audition" and the competitive online game of "Journey", I prefer to call it a social online game, so we use a variety of forms of game content when making the overall structure of the game. ”
"First of all, our characters have a variety of choices, a total of 12 characters of the three races of humans, demons, and immortals for players to choose from, each race provides 4 sects, depending on the gender, each character has three sects to choose from. Depending on the chosen faction, players can grow into different types of characters, either offensively, defensively, or balanced. Each sect has no strong or weak distinction, each sect has a restraint corresponding to another sect's nirvana skills, according to the mutual restraint of the order of the Tang Dynasty Mansion→ Dragon Palace→ Pansi Cave→ Fangcun Mountain→ Demon King Village→ Huasheng Temple→ Putuo Mountain→ Daughter Village→ Wuzhuang Guan→ Lion Camel Ridge → Tiangong→ Yin Cao Difu→ Tang Dynasty Mansion. ”
"Secondly, our combat style is turn-based and stepping on mines, and the operation threshold is relatively low and relatively casual. We also set up summoning beasts, which is also adhering to the ruthless elements of RPG games - growth, and at the same time enhancing the richness of the game, this setting is similar to "Stone Age", "Magic Baby", domestic players are familiar with it, easier to use. ”
"Why do I say that "Fantasy Journey to the West" pays more attention to sociality? This is our core game concept, which focuses on the player's personal growth and social relationships to make the setting of various systems of the game, such as pets, children, homes, teachers, gangs, mentors and apprentices, marriage, marriage, marriage, casual chess, etc. Basic upgrades, battles, and missions are just part of the game. ”
Lin Feng nodded silently.
Perhaps, this is the reason why "Fantasy Journey to the West" has always been prosperous, this game design concept, will create a virtual society and home for players, from the initial fight to upgrade the monster, to team training, apprenticeship, worship, enter the gang, get married, this game has his pets, children, friends, teachers, gangs, everyone plays together, chats together, and has leisure and entertainment together, forming a fixed social relationship. Through a large number of tasks and activities, rich choices, and constantly change the player's interest to ensure that the game is not boring, the rewards brought by the event also make the player's interaction and show off more interesting.
Lin Feng was now more interested in another matter.
"Lao Xu, I have a question, is the "Fantasy Journey to the West" developed now similar to "Journey to the West 2" being operated by NetEase?"
This is a very central and tricky question.
Lin Feng had already expected that after the game was launched, he would have trouble with NetEase's Ding Sanshi, and when the project was first established, he deliberately asked Xu Bo to avoid places similar to the setting of Dahua.
Speaking of this, Xu Bo couldn't help but smile bitterly: "How do you say it...... From the point of view of the game interface, we used the Q version, and the map was adjusted, and these differences are obvious. But after all, they are all derived from some settings of Journey to the West and Dahua, and the big plot framework is still similar. And...... , we also use the 'Wind Soul' engine, which is the same as Journey to the West 2. ”
"But in the setting of the game content, we have added and enriched a lot, such as summoning beasts, sects, running ring tasks, auxiliary skills, plot skills, life skills, etc., all of which are not in the big words, and the resulting gameplay is very different. ”
Lin Feng nodded, he believed that without Xu Bo's whimsy, relying only on Ding Yingfeng, who stayed in NetEase, would not have much impact on the setting of Journey to the West 2. It may be said that the current "Fantasy Journey to the West" is a new game rooted in the big IP of Journey to the West like "Journey to the West", and everyone has no copyright, even if there are similarities, it is just a war of words.
Damn, anyway, the goal of both companies is to become a game giant, competition is a matter of time, friendship is friendship, business is business, and I can't manage so much!
After Lin Feng figured this out, the whole person relaxed.
Lang Sheng smiled, and the momentum suddenly expanded: "Okay! I haven't touched everyone during this time, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, it's great!"
looked at Yao Xiaoguang: "It's late March, and Lao Yao's "Audition" can be tested at the end of April. I think it should be open beta in June!"
looked at Xu Bo again: "Lao Xu's "Fantasy Journey to the West" will be technically closed at the end of April, and it will be available for internal testing in June, and it will be available for public testing in August at the latest. ”
looked at Lin Haitsumi again: "Tsunami's "Journey" can be used as our company's year-end masterpiece!"
"This year, we will give the domestic game circle, a triple blow, left hook, right hook, straight punch!
Unexpectedly, the development rhythm of the game business group was surprisingly consistent with Lin Feng's original expectation of launch.
"Audition" kicked off the beginning, successfully converting music users and allowing users to slowly change their cognition, and Fengxing Company is not only a music website, but a game company.
At this time, "Fantasy Journey to the West" was launched, a PRG (role-playing) game with a casual feeling, with a wide user base, and the art design of the Q version is also similar to the style of "Audition", which can attract female users and young people.
After everyone is familiar with this large-scale MMPRG online game launched by Fengxing, it is not so abrupt to launch a traditional online game style like Legend with a strong sense of competition.
Fengxing Company will also change its public image and gain a firm foothold in the game circle through these three consecutive blows!
…………
After Lin Feng shared his thoughts with everyone, everyone also felt that this order was very ideal, and they were advancing step by step, not slowly.
Lin Feng suddenly thought of another thing, and asked Wang Hao: "It seems that there is no particularly good way for online payment now, in addition to point card sales, are we discussing with mobile to combine game point card recharge with mobile phone payment business?" I have the impression that there is already a similar micropayment business in Beijing and eastern Guangdong?"
Wang Hao nodded: "Well, there is, but it is not widely used now, and there are still many problems, such as encryption security and other technical problems." ”
Lin Feng thought for a while and said: "Actually, let's change our thinking, the "Audition Troupe" we are preparing to launch first is also a prop fee, and the price of a single prop is only between 1-3 yuan, similar to a ringtone or SMS product, can we make this kind of prop into an SMS product? ”
Wang Hao nodded: "Okay, I'll study it." ”
Recalling his previous life, WeChat and Alipay, which can be easily swept everywhere, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh, it's still not convenient enough!
Unconsciously, the time was ripe to open the idea of opening a payment platform.
