Chapter 30 Preparation for the closed beta

The live broadcast of ketchup continued, but Ye An received a call from Mu Yang. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Exiting the live broadcast room, Ye An connected the phone.

"Hey, Muyang, what's the matter?"

"Ye Dong, "Four-Man Killing" has now entered the testing stage, didn't you say before that I would send you a client, and I want to send it to you now?"

"Yes, send it now. ”

Then Ye An opened WeChat, clicked on the download link, and downloaded the beta version of "Four Kills" to his mobile phone.

Ye An didn't try the game, but after opening the game, he immediately opened the three black technology apps that had been installed before.

Game Numerical Balancer, Game Bug Detector, Game Bug Patch.

The next thing is to let the three APPs work, of course, this process does not seem to be as simple as Ye An imagined.

Although it was a black technology, the detection process lasted an hour.

In the end, when all three APPs stopped working, a document appeared on Ye An's mobile phone desktop, Ye An opened it and saw that there were hundreds of modification suggestions, and at the bottom even the modified code had been written.

Ye An couldn't help but sigh, the black technology produced by the system is good, with these three APPs, the game will definitely not have any major problems in stability and balance.

The only thing that is lacking now is the gameplay of the game, which is not yet relevant in the system store, and it is estimated that the level of the gameplay designer is at least above level 3.

Therefore, as for the fast gameplay, Ye An can only wait for Muyang to make changes by himself, after all, in addition to testing the stability and balance of the game in the testing stage, the most important point is to test the playability of the game, as well as the player's evaluation and opinion on the various gameplay in the game.

And with the experience of the previous life, Ye An naturally knows that the popularity of "Four Killings" is largely inseparable from its gameplay.

So in this life, Ye An doesn't intend to interfere with Muyang's decision in terms of gameplay, everything just goes naturally, as long as it can be guaranteed to the same level as the previous life, then "Four Killings" will definitely be popular.

Ye An didn't plan to give it to Mu Yang as soon as possible, after all, in the time of this meeting, he could write hundreds of modification plans, and anyone would not believe it.

At this time, the system suddenly sounded a prompt tone.

"Ding"

【Mission】Successfully released and operated "Four Kills", time limit: 2 months. Reward: 500 XP, 50,000 Fame.

Seeing this, Ye An couldn't help but smile slightly, is the new mission finally coming......

I didn't expect the idea of the system to coincide with my own.

Although the monthly turnover of many mobile games can reach 100 million or 1 billion RMB, this is just a superficial appearance, and when it comes to the R&D team, there is not much money at all.

As a simple example, a game with a monthly turnover of 100 million, and the real money that the R&D team can get will definitely not exceed 20 million.

Because a large part of the money is taken by the issuing company and the operating company.

Therefore, Ye An, who is well aware of the interests involved, has long thought that this "Four Killings" should be published and operated by his own company, and only in this way can he ensure that his interests are maximized.

Even so, if you publish and operate it yourself, you will undoubtedly incur a lot of costs. A series of pre-launch work such as promotion, advertising, and publicity all cost money, which Ye An had already thought of.

So, he immediately sent a message to Tomato Sauce's WeChat.

"You try the game first, and in the future you can pick out a day to do this game. ”

Subsequently, a download link is attached.

Sure enough, after a while, the other party replied with a message: "It seems that you are asking me to help you advertise." ”

Ye An smiled wryly, and sent a message again: "Not only to help me advertise, but also to help yourself, this mobile game will be very popular in the future, believe me, it can bring you unprecedented popularity." ”

The reason why I dare to say this is because I believe in the popularity of "Four Killings" on the one hand, and on the other hand, because the most popular column in the anchor industry is still game live broadcast.

So no matter from which point of view, letting ketchup play this mobile game will not be a loss for her.

Soon, Tomato Sauce replied: "I have always believed in Mr. An's vision." ”

Seeing such a sentence, Ye An couldn't help laughing.

"This little girl is really getting better and better at making sycophants, and she shoots so well......"

……

Time passed quietly, and everything went in an orderly manner.

The weather officially moves from May to June.

In June, Jiangnan has gradually entered the warm-up period of summer.

People are also changing into cool summer clothes.

After a month of testing, and after Ye An provided his own black technology modifications, the testing phase of "Four-Man Killing" finally came to an end.

Next, it's time to prepare for the launch.

Jiangnan City, Science and Technology Park, Chang'an Game Culture Co., Ltd. internal conference room.

Ye An, Tang Mingke, Yu Qianqian, Mu Yang and the two newly recruited members of the operation department.

""Four-Person Killing" is about to be launched for internal testing, are your promotion plans ready?" Ye An sat at the front of the long table in the conference and asked calmly.

"The promotion news of the video and advertorial has already been produced. Yu Qianqian said competently.

Ye An nodded, turned his gaze to Tang Mingke, and asked, "How did you discuss the matter of intermodal transportation with other platforms?"

"AppleStore and GooglePlay and most of the Android platforms in China have already negotiated, both of which are 73 shares, only the Penguin platform, they ask for 64 shares. ”

Ye An frowned, even AppleStore only needs 30% of the profit, and Penguin wants 40%, but who made it the largest platform in China.

I am a new company, and I really don't have the capital to ask for the price of others.

"What do they say about the promotion on the platform?" Ye An asked again.

Tang Mingke hesitated for a moment and said: "Since it is a combined transport, they will definitely help us promote it, but since we are a new company and have not had any cooperative relationship before, the promotion resources they give will definitely not be too ideal." ”

In this regard, Ye An also understands that after all, he is a new company that has just opened, and he has no precedent for successfully operating a product before, so people naturally will not give him so many resources for no reason.

However, Ye An naturally has his own confidence.

"The deadline for signing the contract is half a year, right?" Ye An asked again.

"Yes, as you reminded before, there was only a contract with them for half a year. After Tang Mingke finished speaking, he glanced at Ye An with some hesitation, and said again: "Ye Dong, I still don't understand why we only signed a contract for half a year, according to common sense, the longer it takes to sign, the more beneficial it is for us." ”

Ye An smiled, his eyes gently swept over everyone present, and said in a calm tone: "Because I want them to take the initiative to find us to continue to sign the contract after half a year." ”

"But in case our "Four Killings" is not satisfactory online......" Tang Mingke said hesitantly.

Ye An smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Mu Yang's body, and his voice was persistent and affirmative: "I believe that "Four Killings" will not disappoint us. ”

For Ye An's decision, although Tang Mingke felt a little risky, but after all, he was the chairman, since he insisted on it, he could only do what he said.

And Ye An, of course, also has his own reason, not to mention 46 points, to be honest, he feels that 37 points is a bit much, according to the popularity of "Four Killings" in the previous life, those platforms can draw 2% of the profits, and they don't know where to go to steal fun.

The main reason why they are so unvalued now is that they regard their game as the most ordinary game on the market, and they can't imagine how profitable "Four Kills" will bring them in the future.

And the signing of the agreement for half a year was also decided by Ye An after thinking about it for a long time, what he wanted was half a year later, when "Four Killings" swept the country, those platforms would come to him in person to renew it.

And when the time comes, he will naturally rely on "Four Killings" to rise the boat, and he can sit on the ground and start the price, and then he will propose 28 points, I believe that no platform will not agree.

However, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and no matter how good a product is, it needs a good marketing strategy to make a name for itself.

However, the current problem is that the advertising and promotion of "Four Killings" will be a lot of money. In terms of promotion, it is relatively simple, and the major websites and some small websites rely on traffic clicks to calculate the cost, and you can wait until the end of the month to settle the bill.

But advertising requires a lot of money, like iQiyi, Youku, and other video advertising There are several cooperation models, some are billed according to time, some are billed according to TV programs, and some are billed according to the number of plays.

These are all required to pay a certain deposit, and I only accumulated more than 5 million when I was full last month, in fact, the advertising that can be placed is really limited.

Although Ye An would like to advertise himself online and offline, and even all over the country, this is obviously unrealistic.

And he is not a professional in advertising, so Ye An can only leave all this to Yu Qianqian and Tang Mingke to deal with.

The working capital for them is 6 million, and as for how to arrange and plan, it is their business.

After becoming the shopkeeper, Ye An returned to school.

If I remember correctly, today seems to be the day when Bai Cheng's novel "The Saint of Pujia" was put on the shelves, although I don't know why his novel was put on the shelves so late, but since he decided to help him, Ye An planned to help him thoroughly.

Seeing that Bai Cheng was still diligently coding words in front of the computer, Ye An opened the book city, and then filled all the 200,000 scattered wealth value today.

After all the coins were exchanged, Ye An clicked on "The Saint of Pujia", entered the book review area, and directly rewarded 20 million Qidian coins.

At the same time, on the 24-hour hot list on the homepage of Qidian, a new novel appeared in the first place.
