Chapter 439: This kid is a little sincere!
Christmas is a global holiday, and countries such as Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States have a great demand for games during the Christmas period, and online games will also rise. Korean manufacturers are now gathering strength and preparing to come up with the best games in December to conquer the Korean market, Europe and the United States.
When it comes to online games, Korean manufacturers are very technological. Minister Huang is confident in this, and believes that many games are not inferior to Diablo 2.
After the games prepared for the Christmas season are made, Minister Huang, who has already found a puppet in China, will take them to officially attack the Chinese market!
Minister Huang smiled as he thought about the scene more than five months later.
……
Wang is also thinking about it for December. At that time, it will be very unsafe to present only one blockbuster game. He also has to make some preparations to ensure that after the release of "Amazing Country", even if the response is different from what he imagined, he can continue to occupy the market under the impact of Korean games.
Even if Wang is very confident in "Stunning Country", it has not reached the point of arrogance. In the past, when I made games, I could sell as much as I could, and there was no pressure.
Now to fight against the Koreans, it is an enemy that once swept away the domestic game industry, and it is very terrifying. Wang didn't dare to play with his life.
If you spend some money and extra energy, you can get another insurance, and Wang thinks it's worth it.
At present, Celadon Technology has no way to divide its energy and make another game. Wang does not plan to recruit people from the outside world and make another online game without success. It doesn't matter how much you earn or how little you earn, the main thing is to occupy the market.
These games don't need to be too eye-catching. The various gameplay methods are very ordinary, even mediocre. Wang didn't do it on purpose, because he wasn't sure about the player's psychology. Just lay it flat and make a game that you can play "without watching the tutorial".
There is no advantage to the game itself. However, compared to Korean games, there are still advantages that are difficult to replicate. Wang Bufu owns the data center in his hands, and the network service is extremely stable. Players won't be surprised by dropouts, stuttering, or waiting in line for up to two hours before entering the game.
Wang Buyi has invested a huge amount of money to build a data center, and with this magic weapon, he naturally wants to give full play to his advantages. This is the core hard advantage. Because no matter how good the gameplay. There is also no way to slow down the degraded user experience caused by sudden drops.
in the Internet industry in the future. Every time a bonanza emerges, a whole bunch of entrepreneurs and speculators enter the market. After a fierce fight, the last survivors are often those who have only few functions at the beginning, but the service is very good.
Among the dead competitors. There's no shortage of sparkling ideas of all kinds. But. No matter how beautiful the creativity. All it takes is one crash or freeze to lose users.
If you work the service first, you can continue to pick up other people's ideas. Something that becomes one's own. The most famous example is the Gathering Era.
Wang is not prepared to do the same, and then make a game that is completely opposite to "Stunning Country".
The design of "Stunning Country" is very advanced. It can be a very pleasant surprise for some veteran players who have been playing the game since '95. But for new players who are just starting to play, or just looking for a game to pass the time, the features can seem too many and too overwhelming.
Their needs are actually quite simple, they just want to play a game, as long as they can play smoothly. And "playing smoothly" is not an easy task. Only Wang Bubu dares to guarantee that he can do it.
The truth is this, but it is easier said than done. When Wang did not design this simple game, he was never satisfied. He always wanted to add something to it and then thought it was too novel to cut it off.
Just when Wang was not entangled, the author of "The Glory of the Republic" came to the Celadon Building again. He had just finished the final exam, and he didn't even look at his grades, so he skipped all the classes in the last few days and came directly to Nanjiang.
When he saw Wang Buful, he excitedly took out a homework book: "Look at it, this is a new game designed by me during this time!" Unlike 'Radiance of the Republic', this is a brand new game! ”
For the first time, Wang Bubu saw the game planning book handwritten in the homework book, and he was a little interested and took it.
But when he saw the title, his heart "chuckled" for a moment. I saw that the title said "Meow Bang Adventure". Listening to the name, it exudes a niche atmosphere.
"What is this?" Wang Bufu opened the homework book, and the handwriting in the homework book was not good-looking, and he suddenly lost interest in reading it.
Ponsie said nervously, "This is a game of small art categories. It tells the story of a monster named 'Meow Bang' who finds himself. Since it was born, it has no kind, its parents look different from it, and it is alone. Until the beginning of the game, it sees a fellow of its kind in its sleep and decides to embark on a journey to find that kind......"
Ponsie has incorporated his own experience into the game. His hobby is to write all kinds of ideas about games in his workbook, but who around him will understand this behavior? Since he was a child, he actually felt the same as "meow".
This is the first time he has shown his thoughts to others, and it is also the first time he has spoken out, looking at Wang Buyi with both nervousness and expectation: "How about this design?" ”
Wang Buyi was dumbfounded, what is this? His expectations for the author of "Glory of the Republic" are not expected to make niche games for young people!
"......" Wang sighed and returned the homework book to him without commenting. I printed out the online game plan I started yesterday and handed it over: "What do you think this game should do?" ”
Pang Xie was a little disappointed, and Wang Buful's attitude was obviously not optimistic about "Meow Pap Dare". But Pang Xie still opened the online game design handed over by Wang Buying, and carefully looked at every word.
In order to let him tell the truth, Wang did not say that this was a design made by himself, but said: "I got a game plan submitted to me by a person a few days ago, and you can say what you think." ”
After reading it, Pang Xie hesitated: "I think the values may be a little complicated. People who play games in Internet cafes have limited time, and there is no way to explore so many offensive and defensive data, resistance, and so on. If only the stats could be reduced to basic attack defense HP. ”
"What else?" Wang Buyi nodded, if this young man didn't want to engage in strange art, he really had some ideas about the game.
Pang Xie thought for a while and said, "It's better to make the map smaller, reduce leveling points, and increase some places to grab monsters." ”
"Why?" Wang did not ask why. What this teenager said happened to be the usual method used by online game manufacturers in the era of point cards.
"I just think this kind of competition is quite fun, but if you want to analyze the reasons, I can't say." Ponsie said.
Wang Bu Bu thought about it, and felt that the gameplay of robbing monsters belonged to low-intensity competition, which was similar to the mending knife of MOBA games in the future. It is easy to cultivate a sense of competition among players, increase loyalty and online time. This stimulates the sales of point cards, so the manufacturer makes money.
However, there were many problems with this gameplay, such as the easy proliferation of plug-ins and the excessive advantages of long-range classes, so it was quickly abandoned.
Wang Buyi asked again: "Do you have any other ideas?" ”
"The plot is too complicated." Pang Xie didn't know that this was actually a game that Wang didn't expect, and said without scruples: "If the plot takes up too much time in the early stage, many players will get off the game before they understand what is really fun about the game." The game just can't impress them. When they come back to the machine, they have almost forgotten the plot, and they are likely to click on other games. ”
This young man is right, many things, and Wang lives up to those popular online games in his memory.
Those popular games are not popular because they can make money, but because they are on fire. Aren't those games what Ponsei said? The values at the beginning are very simple, players have a variety of ways to compete with each other in addition to PK, there is no verbose plot, and various play points are shown to players when they come up.
Wang Buyi was a little shocked, feeling that he had really dug up a genius?
According to Ponciet, the game has a flood of bad reviews, but it can also attract many players.
Wang Buyi simply didn't think about this game by himself, and was going to leave it to Pang Xie to do. He said, "You can learn a little bit at Celadon Technology next." After a month, if you can pass the assessment, you will be officially hired. ”
Pang Xie was pleasantly surprised: "And then I can do 'Meow Bang Adventure'?" ”
Wang Buyi felt that this young man was a little unrealistic. He thought for a moment and pointed to the online game plan he had just printed: "After you officially join the company, make this game." When you make three big selling games, I can give you the resources to make the games you want. ”
All three games are aimed at non-core players. If all goes well, Celadon Technology will be able to gain a foothold in the mass market for a period of time in the future. Maybe it can be supported until Wang Bucheng completes the industrial upgrading.
and other domestic games began to transform to large investment, large production, and large returns. These three games, together with Korean games, should have no room for survival in China.
Wang didn't really have much interest in the handwritten game, but it was probably the game that Pang Xie really wanted to make. Wang simply turned the game into a carrot hanging in front of Pang Xie's eyes, driving the boy to make three games that he didn't like himself.
Pang Xie was still young in the end, and he didn't have any scheming at all, and when he got on the thief ship that Wang did not bear, he thanked him again and again excitedly, and promised: "I will definitely study hard and do three games well." When the time comes to do 'Meow Bang Dare', I promise I won't use a lot of your money. ”
This kid is a bit sincere! Wang lived up to Pang Xie's appearance, and he felt a little guilty. In fact, like the game that Pang Xie wanted to make, Wang Bufu divided ten employees and spent hundreds of thousands to make it, which was not a burden at all. It's just that Wang doesn't want to let Pang Xie bear the burden of fighting against the Korean game, so he drags it out for life......
Wang Bucheng planned to put Pang Xie at the forefront, but he looked like a heartfelt brother, and enthusiastically took Pang Xie to meet the follow-up operation team of games such as "Air Combat Pioneer" and "Stunning Country: Gaiden". (To be continued......)
