Chapter 203: Can Prop Fees Make Money?
Seeing that this game was mentioned in the planning, Chen Tianqiao, who used to be an animation website, still knows a lot about "Bomb Superman". Then he closed his eyes and began to think of the gameplay of "Bomb Superman". After a while, Chen Tianqiao followed the settings written by Chen Jiayi again. In a hypothetical map, play a series of battles against multiple people.
After a few minutes, Chen Tianqiao opened his eyes and said bluntly, "Good game." ”
I didn't expect Chen Jiayi to always find the creativity of online games in some stand-alone games, in fact, there are many familiar click games, which have begun to be online versions. For example, I heard that the swordsman series of Xishanju will be launched in the near future. Moreover, on top of the online version, there are so many ways to play and creativity. This talent is simply born for games. It's no wonder that after Chen Jia played for a while, he could think of Counter-Strike.
It is said that most of the plot settings of the Fantasy Journey to the West developed by Tianxia Studio were also completed by Chen Jiayi.
"It's fun to play, but this fee model ......"
Chen Tianqiao hesitated, and remembered a question mark in his heart, "Can props be charged to make money?" ”
At present, in the domestic market, fees are charged in the form of point cards. Regarding the charge for this prop proposed by Chen Jiayi, Chen Tianqiao has no bottom. If you develop this game, and no one buys these game items at that time, won't you get a penny? Or it's not that no one buys, it's just that the number of people who buy is very small, and it's the same reason as not making money.
After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Tianqiao still didn't figure it out.
"Do you want to give up on this game for now?"
Although Chen Jiayi promised not to interfere with the operation of Shanda Network, Chen Jiayi kindly took a game plan over, and if he didn't adopt it, it would be really difficult to say.
"Let's make a phone call, perhaps, there are some places that I haven't thought of?"
"Mr. Chen, there is something I want to ask."
"Haha, is it about the cost of props?"
Seeing the call, Chen Jiayi knew that it was Chen Tianqiao calling.
"Huh, how do you know?"
Chen Tianqiao thought about it, and then understood.
This bubble hall, the original prop charging model, must be a little worried after seeing it.
"Yes, this prop charge is too innovative, and I don't dare to try it here."
Chen Tianqiao directly expressed his views.
"Why don't you dare?"
"This ......"
Facing Chen Jiayi's questioning, Chen Tianqiao thought about it. In the end, for the sake of Shanda Company, Chen Tianqiao made up his mind. Even if he is the boss, he has to oppose it. However, after all, Chen Tianqiao has been in business for many years, and he is still relatively tactful in speaking. So he said politely, "Bubble Hall is very good as a casual game, I am sure that as long as Mr. Chen's plan is made, the number of online people in Bubble Hall will definitely be able to surpass the legend." It's just that this game is for free. Of course, it is also called a charge for props. Even if it reaches 500,000 online people, it is estimated that not many people will be willing to pay......"
"I see."
Chen Jiayi was about to explain, when Chen Tianqiao said, "I know that Tang Dynasty Company has always operated with the concept of "customer first". In fact, the TT software of Tang Dynasty information is also a disguised prop charge, just now I carefully read the plan given by Mr. Chen, whether it is a prop or a member. I think it's all very good, it's a very good idea, and it's really going to get some of the profit. However, the base number of people who play online games is not as good as the number of people online with TT software. Based on 500,000 online people, it is possible that only 50,000 people will pay in the end......"
For Chen Tianqiao, 10% of the people who pay are quite good. However, the number of 50,000 people paid. It is equivalent to an online game with 50,000 people online at the same time. In such a situation, they may still be satisfied with a brand new game company that has just been created. But how could Shanda Network want to see only 50,000 people pay?
"I understand, it's just that Mr. Chen seems to have ignored one other piece of data."
Chen Jiayi didn't care about Chen Tianqiao's calculation.
"What data?"
"Let me give you an example."
The reason why Chen Jiayi did not write the advantages of charging props on the plan was that he wanted Chen Tianqiao to call and ask. In this way, I can also instill in him some of the concepts of online games in the future. Now, the time is right.
"Does Mr. Chen know what is the highest record of TT individual user consumption?"
"The highest record?"
Chen Tianqiao thought for a moment.
TT software's charging items, in addition to members, are QQ show and other businesses. Among them, QQ shows account for the largest amount of revenue. Judging from the price of goods in the QQ show, most of them are around ten yuan, and a few are several hundred yuan. If you have some spare money, you can probably spend a few hundred yuan. No matter how rich you are, it will be a few thousand dollars at most.
After getting this data, Chen Tianqiao had the confidence and said directly, "The highest should be one or two thousand." ”
This is Chen Tianqiao's words that have directly increased tenfold.
"No wonder Mr. Chen is not optimistic about the charge for this prop."
Chen Jia smiled and said to Chen Tianqiao, "I can tell you that the highest record is 140,000. ”
"140,000?"
Hearing this number, Chen Tianqiao was also taken aback.
"How can there be so many?"
"Then I'll tell you, there is no upper limit on the consumption of props, you should understand."
Finally, Chen Jiayi threw out the essence of prop consumption.
That's why, a free game of five or six hundred thousand online is worth a million paid games that are online at the same time. It is because there is no upper limit on the cost of props that the profits of game developers are getting bigger and bigger. Before being reborn, when Chen Jiayi went to a university to recruit people, he also met an online game cow. Of course, Chen Jiayi is talking about online game consumption.
For this game with no upper limit on consumption, it may be difficult to surpass the time charge. Even if the fantasy Journey to the West in later generations launched the function of consignment point cards. Players can obtain the corresponding game currency or equipment by consignment game point cards. However, compared to the consumption of props, it is really a drop in the bucket.
Moreover, Chen Jiayi, who knows the future generations, remembers it clearly. The consumption ratio of Bubble Hall is not 10:1, but as high as 3:1. In many places, it even reached 2:1. For example, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Shenzhen. Almost all of them have played Bubble Hall, and they have all consumed. Even if he just bought a phantom, or a pair of wings.
In this way, with 500,000 simultaneous online people, he should be able to reach a monthly consumption record of 200,000 people. Not to mention, the later Bubble Hall was the first online game to reach 800,000 simultaneous online games. Now the bubble hall is launched, taking advantage of the influence of the Tang Dynasty network and the grand network. Especially the artifact of "All Online", he not only gave all game manufacturers opportunities, but also greatly developed the domestic online game crowd.
Originally, some netizens were just playing cards on the Internet most of the time. If, under the influence of Dudu Online, after being bombarded with a large number of advertisements, these new netizens who originally did not play games have since entered the ranks of online games. It can be said that the online game market has increased by 30% compared with the original after the promotion of Dudu Online. That's 30%, that's not a small amount. In terms of the base number of domestic netizens, it is equivalent to tens of millions of more gamers.
Perhaps, the launch of Bubble Hall can also break the record of 800,000 in later generations and go straight to 1 million. An ethereal journey with the Tang Dynasty network, entering 1 million simultaneous online records, what about the club.
Yes, Chen Jiayi had such an idea when he planned Bubble Hall.
"I have no problem, I immediately notified the R&D department to develop this game. Aim to bring the entire game to market within three months. ”
Bubble Hall is a very simple game, and besides, there is a bomb superman in front. At the time of research and development, it was almost impossible to think too much about it, and then make certain innovations on the basis of the ideas given by Bomb Superman. For example, innovation on the map. Innovation in gameplay, innovation in props, and so on.
In three months, it can really be developed.
After Chen Tianqiao was woken up by Chen Jia, he instantly realized. No wonder TT Software is so profitable, even if he doesn't monopolize the domestic market, it is also a big profit. Not to mention, there are thousands of untapped markets in the future. China has a population of 1.3 billion, and each and every one of them is a great asset. It is no wonder that since the beginning of the new century, many countries have paid more and more attention to China.
Only a country like China can survive any economic crisis, even if it relies on internal interest. That's one of the benefits of a huge population. Although overpopulation is followed by a series of other problems.
"Well, three months later, I will personally go to Shanghai to play a game of bubbles with Mr. Chen."
"Chen always has this interest, and I will accompany him to the end."
The two talked to the end, but hung up the phone in laughter. Chen Tianqiao took the printed Bubble Hall plan and came to the game development department of Shanda Network, "Zhao Zhong, you can take this game plan over to study and study with you, and give me a feasible game report in the afternoon." Time is of the essence, you start now. ”
Now that he has made up his mind to develop Bubble Hall, Chen Tianqiao does not dare to delay for half a moment. Went straight to the game development department, and set a tight schedule. He didn't want the planning staff to spend 10 days and 10 nights studying for such a simple game. With Chen Tianqiao's knowledge, this game can be fully understood in only half an hour at most.
As for planning, it's actually very simple. Although the plan given by Chen Jiayi is only a rough idea, the direction has been written, and the planners only need to add some content to it. is that there are some unclear prop charges, and Chen Tianqiao also made a note on the planning. It can be said that even ordinary people can understand it.
Not to mention, Chen Tianqiao dug it up, but it is a team specializing in the development of online games.
