Chapter 237: Build Your Own Game Account System
In addition to the post-production and special effects studios, there are also game production and operation studios. However, this studio is currently in charge of Han Li's full authority to Qin Lu. Although he occasionally participates in it and controls the general development direction, Qin Lu still manages and operates specific things.
As with post-production and special effects studios, some operations and production studios are in the initial stages of construction.
However, compared to the post-production and special effects studios, the progress of the game studios is relatively rapid.
Soon after Qin Lu presided over the studio, they obtained the domestic operation rights of a foreign mini game.
But it's just a small game, so clicks and downloads count as average.
Next, the team organized by He Fei, the technical director of the game studio, conducted relevant research on the Android and iOS operating system runtimes, and achieved good results.
CURRENTLY, THEY ARE TRYING TO MODIFY PC TO RUN ON ANDROID AND IOS.
Originally, He Fei and they just wanted to make a single-player class landlord game, and the way to make money was to rely on the advertisements embedded in the game to collect advertising costs.
But this plan was quickly rejected by Han Li, through experience and memory, he knew that if he wanted this kind of game, the emphasis was not only on the playability of the game, but also on the interactivity of the game, both of which were indispensable. If it's just a single-player game, it won't attract too many players' interest.
Therefore, it is necessary to upgrade this game to make it a gaming platform that can be played online at the same time.
In addition, the in-game ads have also been removed, and the profit method has been changed to sell virtual products to make profits. Such as in-game coins, game props, game character skins and other virtual items.
As a result, there are high demands on the interactivity of the game. And also set up the corresponding server, as well as set up your own account system.
They don't have to worry about servers, because the company has its own dedicated web server, which is located in the basement of their office building. If that's not enough, you can rent another company's server to use it.
But on the side of the account system, everyone has a disagreement. According to Qin Lu's meaning, the account system does not need to be built by themselves, and directly uses the account system that already exists on the Internet.
For example, a Q number, such as a Weibo account, or an account of another game company. In this way, it is only necessary to sign an agreement with these companies and open the corresponding certification mechanism.
It's simple, and it saves development money.
Of course, Qin Lu thinks from the perspective of business operations, but He Fei, who is a technical background, doesn't think so. The account system can be said to be a game or application software, or even the door and pass of network products.
If the gate and pass are controlled by other account systems, they will lose the registered users if something happens.
Therefore, He Fei insisted that they should establish their own account system. Only this account system is in hand, and it can be controlled by others.
However, there are also objections in the operation team, that is, many websites and apps now have their own account systems, which is very complicated, so users are very reluctant to register too many accounts.
And the application of these accounts is not substantial, basically just a decoration and useless.
In view of the argument between the two parties, this issue was put on Han Li's desk.
To be honest, Han Li himself thought about the account system, but he didn't expect to be mentioned by He Fei first.
In the short term, the use of other mature account systems with a large number of users not only saves development costs, but also can take advantage of this huge user base to attract players to join, which is very powerful in operation.
But in the long run, such a dependence on someone else's account system, no matter how good, is still subject to others. Having its own account system can not only operate independently and not be controlled by others, but also cultivate a large and stable player base.
And you can also use this account system to build your own gaming platform, so as to achieve the goal of one account, you can log in multiple games, or even a large number of games.
Therefore, Han Li finally decided to build an account system. Rather than slowly transforming in the later stage, it is better to work hard in the early stage, do it in one step, and never suffer in the future.
"You mean to build a unified and shared game account system and build a gaming platform based on it?" Qin Lu looked at Han Li and frowned, and said thoughtfully.
Han Li nodded and said, "It can not be limited to games, but can also be used for other applications."
In the future, we will definitely not have one or two games that we will represent and produce, rather than using someone else's, or using a separate account system.
It would be better to start with a unified account system that will be used for all the games we release in the future. Bring together the players of these games and make the most of them. ”
"However, there are too few games released by our agent, and I am afraid that we will not be able to support the operation of this game platform for the time being. And in the short term, this account system may not play a role.
What I'm even more worried about is that if we want to adopt such an unfamiliar account system, then we may have difficulty and resistance in promotion.
With our current strength to compete with those existing game platforms, to be honest, I don't have much confidence and confidence.
Finally, there is the development cycle of this account system, we do not have dedicated personnel in this area, so it is difficult to develop. Qin Lu said worriedly at him.
Han Li thought for a while and said: "This game platform can't be established in a day, you can start with a unified account system, and then slowly establish and develop."
And then we are not competing with these existing gaming platforms, but filling in the empty space that they have overlooked. In the future, we will focus on mobile platforms, such as mobile phones, tablets and other devices equipped with Android and IOS systems.
At present, mobile devices equipped with these two systems have just begun in China, and no one has paid attention to this aspect. And we are taking advantage of this to take the lead in occupying this field.
In the short term, there will certainly not be much resistance. After a long time, the other party reacted, and at that time we also formed a climate, and we had the confidence to compete.
As for the development, the account system can find a special company to assist in the development or directly purchase other mature products, but it must be kept confidential and cannot disclose our intention to use.
Our advantage now is time, but what we lack now is time. Therefore, we must step up in this regard, and when everyone works hard, we will strive to push out the 'Joy Fight Landlord' to me as soon as possible.
The money should be spent, don't feel distressed, I want to see the effect as soon as possible! ”
Although Qin Lu was still a little worried about this, he saw that Han Li had already made up his mind, so he nodded and agreed. Of course, this is not subservience or obedience, but another kind of recognition.
Although she had her worries, she also recognized Han Li and He Fei's words. Since both of them insisted on it, she agreed. As a competent manager, be good at listening to the advice of others.
