Chapter 119: The Concept of a Browser Game

"Take it apart?"

Chen Xu and Guan Yi both didn't understand what Gao Xiaojie meant, and Tang Bixuan on the side couldn't understand anything.

In fact, Chen Xu knows that if this casual game is put on the Internet for people to download, it should still be quite popular, because there are many people who are bored now. Back then, a Lianliankan caused a sensation on the entire Internet, and casual games like this should still have a large audience.

What's more, this mini-game is not only for casual use, but more importantly, it can also carry out real design of the house, which is a good choice for home buyers.

But Gao Xiaojie shook his head and said: "Don't upload the software, anyway, this game was developed by you, right, then I believe you will definitely be able to modify it." Seeing Chen Xu nodded, Gao Xiaojie said: "I suddenly had an idea just now, which is to release this game as a web game...... Have you ever played Ranch Story?,It's a pretty old casual game.,PS.。 ”

Guan Yi shook his head, Chen Xu nodded, and said A friend of mine used to be super obsessed, what, does it matter?

Gao Xiaojie smiled confidently, when it comes to games, she trusts her vision and judgment. So she said, "I mean to change this house design to a game like Ranch Story, it needs to be upgraded." For example, what do you do to make money, and after you make money, you can buy a house, buy furniture, and then have electrical appliances and so on. In this case, instead of taking out all these items directly for people to play casually, players will have to log in to the game every day, of course, they don't need to do much, just tap with the mouse. What do you think about letting players level up and earn money through this, and then decorate their own nests? ”

"This ......" When Chen Xu was still thinking about it, Guan Yi said: "This is a good idea!" ”

Chen Xu squinted at her, "What's wrong?" ”

Guan Yi said that your IQ is too low, and Chen Xu, who was hit, rolled his eyes before he said with a smile: "I understand what Gao Xiaojie means, that is, this game is not available for download, and then it will be on the webpage for everyone to play." We can even set it up like this, for example, the player starts with a very small bedroom, and there is no bed in the bedroom, so the player needs to work to earn money. When you earn money, you can buy a bed, a wardrobe, an air conditioner, and a refrigerator, and you can expand the land, and then it is not just a bedroom, but also a living room, kitchen, and bathroom. Well, you can simply buy a bigger house, and then design your own house type, which is modeled in this 3D way. In the end, I bought a villa, haha, maybe I can build a community by myself! ”

Seeing the elated discussion between the two women, Chen Xu scratched his head and said, "Damn, how is this the same as an online game, does anyone play it?" ”

"It's not the same as the popular online games now!" Gao Xiaojie corrected him and said: "Today's large-scale online games, without funds and technology, are looking for death, and it is impossible to fight for World of Warcraft and Fantasy Journey to the West, even the smash hit legends and legendary worlds are now much worse." So now many small companies are preparing to develop web games, that is, web games, which do not need to be leveled online for a long time like World of Warcraft, but only need to spend a few minutes or seconds a day with the mouse to click. I can say that browser games have become the mainstream of development by small companies nowadays, because as long as the game has a good surname and is well promoted, then there is no fear that no one will play it. Especially those white-collar workers who go to work and don't have much time to play games. They're going to love it. ”

Gao Xiaojie's judgment on the game has always been admired by Chen Xu, and even Guan Yi has no way to refuse when he says so, but Chen Xu is thinking about other problems: "Then what do you mean, we will develop this game into a browser game?" But it requires a server or something, and it's too cumbersome to maintain. ”

"No!" Gao Xiaojie's eyes flashed with pride: "But it mainly depends on your technical level." Do you know the current intranet? A new SNS community, registration in the school requires real information. ”

Chen Xu nodded and said that he knew, he also registered one, but what does this have to do with our game?

Gao Xiaojie said with a smile: "The school intranet is an SNS social networking site, and he fixes the users of the website in a circle, that is, students. According to the theory of six degrees of space, there are no more than six people between one person and another stranger, that is, you can get to know anyone in the world through six strangers. This is the case with the SNS community in the intranet, where you can get to know your classmates by adding your classmates, so that you can expand your social reach. It's just that this kind of activity on campus is still limited to chatting, but I know that some SNS websites abroad have adopted a small game to circle people. ”

"That kind of mini-game is a similar browser game like ours, and the game enhances the interaction between friends. The game is embedded in the SNS community as a web application. Nowadays, many white-collar workers abroad play games on the SNS community to play this kind of web game. Let's use our game as an analogy, for example, if you buy a house, you can get a bank loan, you can borrow money from a friend, and then you can give a friend an item, what you want, and so on. Well, you can also go to a friend's house to live, or rent out your own house to earn money...... Aren't these all methods of interaction? ”

Hearing this, Chen Xu understood a little, and said, "Then what do you mean by making our game this kind of interactive web game?" And then install it on the intranet for users to play? This will enhance the interaction and connection between friends, right...... Aren't you making wedding dresses for others?! It's better for us to build a web game ourselves.,Anyway, if you really want to talk about the server.,Last time they also provided a batch.,It should be enough for us.。 ”

Hearing this, Gao Xiaojie didn't answer, Guan Yi laughed, and said You are narrow-minded if you think like this, I agree with Gao Xiaojie's words, this game will be a win-win result for the school.

"How can it be a win-win situation?"

Guan Yi smiled confidently: "Look, what do online games need most?" Players, of course. We have a new game out there, how many people do you think will know about it with our financial resources and influence? Oh, the last Jin Yong Qunxia biography was just in time, and it happened to meet a video game exhibition, and the game surname is really high, and it looks at the face of the smmh god, so people help us promote it for free. But now we don't have the energy and financial resources to do so, and others don't come back to help. However, if you give it to the intranet, the development of this website has now reached a certain scale. This software is given to them, then they are bound to be greatly promoted, and the user side does not have to worry. And if this continues, a group of users will definitely be cultivated, and the purpose of logging on to the intranet every day is to play games. So we can make a deal with the intranet and get some of the benefits from them. ”

Chen Xu nodded, this is indeed the truth. Then Guan Yi said: "And this game is not unprofitable, you can refer to the current legend and legendary world." You know these two games, right? Shanda has made all of these games available for free. ”

"Pull it down!" Chen Xu pursed his lips when he heard this, and said, "It's better to charge for free!" Now they're just trying to figure out how to make money. It's open purgatory and open the sky, and all you want is ingots, RMB! I heard that there are still paid props available? Please, hey, the paid props are so perverted, it's too damaging to the balance of the game! I think that my mage number rushed for half a year to reach level 40, but now it's good, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can go to level 50 in a day! Uh, what do you mean? ”

Guan Yi smiled and said, "Do you understand what I mean?" Paid items are indeed one of the fastest ways to make money in free games. We can introduce paid items in the game, so that we can satisfy players who have money, but don't want to play slowly for too long. For example, paid props can buy electrical appliances, buy land, etc., these are whatever they want, and they like to buy them after we set the price. As for game balance, please, browser games, for pastime, how can there be any balance at all? It's not that whoever is invincible in the world can see one and kill another. And I'm absolutely convinced that some people play this game just to give a reference to reality, so they'll definitely pay for it! ”

Chen Xu was a little sweaty when he heard it, isn't this woman's business acumen too terrifying? But if she really does what she says, she should be able to make a little money, right?

Today's remarks, none of the four people present thought that they would have any effect in the future.

Gao Xiaojie's insight and sense of smell in games, and Guan Yi's foresight in business, have actually inadvertently stood at the height of leading the times.

Since 2008, the SNS community has grown rapidly, and it is small game applications that have played a role in fueling the fire. For example, the competition for parking spaces, happy farms, and so on, which became all the rage later.

These games are highly interactive and do not consume time when playing, so they immediately became the favorite of office white-collar workers. Many colleagues in the same office signed up for the school and Kaixin.com because they saw that the game was fun. And more people log on to their SNS community every day, not to read those new messages and messages that may not be available for a few weeks, but to see if the radishes they grow at home are ripe.

At this time, several people didn't expect it, because Chen Xu casually took out a piece of software and Gao Xiaojie's casual words, they inadvertently led the precedent of China's SNS community interactive applications.

The rise of Gao Xiaojie and Guan Yi's discussion, the more they talked, the more they felt that this method was promising, so they simply stopped working in the house and began to discuss the details of the game. Later, Tang Bixuan was also pulled into the discussion - although this girl has never played any games, as long as she is a woman, she will dream of having a house and a garden, and then run her own world carefree.

What they are discussing now is how to make players feel that although they are facing virtual data on the Internet, they are actually running their own huts and worlds.

This brings us to a sentence that has always been emphasized at the starting point - a sense of substitution.

Let players have a sense of substitution, and they will never forget this game.

Guan Yi said: "You can't make money too fast, and of course you can't make it too slow. If it's too fast, the game will end quickly, and if it's too slow, the player's positive surname will be hit. ”

Gao Xiaojie said: "You should use the double upgrade method of upgrading and gold coins, such as how many levels you have to upgrade to buy a good piece of land somewhere in the city." Naturally, money is needless to say, it has to be earned. To make money, you have to earn it by working part-time, and part-time jobs also need grades, and the higher the level, the higher the salary. ”

Tang Bixuan said: "My dream? Oh, don't laugh at me when I say it. My dream is to have my own house, preferably against the mountains, with an idyllic view, with my own small garden at the door, with flowers and grass, and the sun is shining, and I love this life. ”

Chen Xu said: "Well, if you add a virtual background, the amount of computing is too large, and it is not easy to do." ”

"Then don't rush to add such gorgeous 3D backgrounds, our priority right now is to circle people. Don't you see Tencent, what is Tencent doing now? A few years ago, my dad played cards online and specialized in Lianzhong, and now he can just click on QQ, and he should be people-oriented. ”

"If you don't add that kind of large buildings like mountains and palaces in World of Warcraft, just one room shouldn't consume many resources. The server computing will also be much smaller, which is still very feasible. ”

"Uh-huh, palace and so on, remember it first. You can build it yourself in the future! Now let's not rush it, let's pursue the layout of the house. ”

"By the way, Bixuan, the garden you just said gave me an idea, we can provide gardens for slightly more advanced houses! You can grow flowers and grass in the garden, well, you can buy seeds, and you can sell them after planting, which is also a way to make money! ”

"Yes, yes, you can go to a friend's house and steal something! Haha, this idea is so genius, I think there will definitely be people who guard their own plants, and there are people who go out of their way to look at other people's plants and steal them. ”

"The house can still be rented, you can buy a few more houses as a charter wife. Of course, renting can also be given to friends or to the system, I think it's better to give the system, after all, who will spend this money to go to someone's house to live? ”

………… The more they discussed, the more excited they became, and before they knew it, it was already evening. Gao Xiaojie touched his hungry belly, looked at the more than a dozen pages of records on the computer, and said depressedly: "It's over, the workload is getting bigger and bigger, and this is just an idea, and the detailed settings haven't been done yet." For example, how much is a square meter of a house, how much is a seed, how much is a plant, these are all to be calculated. It's definitely not enough to rely on a few of us, it seems that we will have to wait for the beginning of the school year to gather the animals of the computer interest group again, and everyone will work hard together! ”

Chen Xu scratched his head and said: "At first, the game doesn't need to be so huge, you are simply an online version of the Sims." This information alone is enough to make a development online game. In the mode of web games, I'm afraid that people can't afford to bring you this traffic on the intranet, don't forget that our games are 3D, and the amount of computing is not small. ”

Gao Xiaojie scratched his hair depressedly, and shouted a little frantically "Ahhhh ”

From a development point of view, borrowing chickens to lay eggs is a very good way. Because this game is aimed at most white-collar workers sitting in the office, it is best to open the game directly through the web page. So there's absolutely nothing wrong with choosing a school intranet, but the more you discuss, the more things you can add, and then you can't bring a web game to it.

But to reduce the amount of traffic in computing, this is not a problem that they can solve from a technical point of view.

In the end, Gao Xiaojie could only let Chen Xu do it first, and see how big the size of this game expansion pack was set.

"I'll do it?" Chen Xu rolled his eyes and said, sisters, don't look at me like that, okay? Did I make this thing by myself?

Gao Xiaojie said: "Why can't you come? Didn't you make all this game? ”

"Please, it's not whether you're good or not," Chen Xu said: "I'm okay with a stand-alone machine, but loading it on the network is another matter." Just like you, would you modify a stand-alone game with Kingsoft Ranger FPE, right? Seeing Gao Xiao's head, Chen Xu said, "Then can you use this software to modify online games?" ”

Gao Xiaojie shook his head and said no. Chen Xu spread his hands and said that this is not it, I can't solve this aspect of data analysis alone, and someone has to help.

Gao Xiaojie said as soon as he heard it: "Then I'll ask Jingjing later, she should be okay, her computer level is very high!" ”

Zhanjing? Chen Xu just wanted to speak, at this time Guan Yi's mobile phone rang, Guan Yi's face immediately changed when he saw the number, Chen Xu asked what was wrong? Guan Yi made a gesture of silence, and then answered the phone: "Hey, Dad......"
