Chapter 6: Unexpected Surprises

In the next few days, the sales of "Oriental Red Devil Township" skyrocketed, and all kinds of fanart, and even MAD with love began to spread on the Internet, and there was a sense of can't stop.

In the flight shooting game competition held by the official platform, the initially unknown "Oriental Red Devil Township" naturally reached the first place like a rocket.

......

Divine Sense Studios.

C-level game designer Tang Hao watched his game "Four Nations Aircraft" being squeezed into second place, and the expression on his face was very unhappy.

You must know that in this parallel world, game designers have a high social status, equivalent to the ninth artist, and are divided into S-E levels in total.

The higher the rating, not only the honor, but also many self-evident benefits.

Originally, winning the championship in this competition, Tang Hao was able to be successfully promoted to the B rank.

As a result, he suddenly killed "Oriental Red Devil Township", which caused his promotion plan to fail and could only be postponed.

Tang Hao is twenty-five years old this year, has done a few small indie games, has been smooth, for his own loss to others, he is full of unwillingness.

So he checked in the background and found that the other party was a newcomer and had done a street game, and he was even more unconvinced.

"I want to see, why can this game made by a newcomer to the street crush me?" Tang Hao decided to try out "Oriental Red Devil Township".

Half an hour later.

Game over displayed on the computer screen, two teams of blue goblins flying around.

Tang Hao's expression was dazed, he couldn't remember that it was the first time he had seen this scene dozens of times.

"What the hell am I playing?"

"This ghost game, is it teasing me?"

"The little monster is like eating Xuanmai, the screen is full of light bullets, I use my head to hide?"

"Just this game, players still buy it and fly, they're afraid they're crazy!"

Tang Hao's forehead was covered with green tendons, and he clenched his fists, resisting the urge to smash the keyboard.

After a few minutes, Tang Hao calmed down, he felt that he had lost inexplicably, and he was still very aggrieved.

"This year's players can't do it, I'll have to figure out something on my own."

Tang Hao's eyes flickered, and he quickly had a countermeasure.

He took out his mobile phone and called a friend who ran a gray business: "Lao Zhang, please ask your team to help me brush up on the sales of "Four Kingdoms Aircraft", the price is easy to say." ”

........

Time flies, the last day of profit and loss settlement.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Lin Le confirmed the game data in the background with a sad mood.

Game: Red Devil Township of the East.

Sales: 14W copies. (round the number)

Rating: Four and a half stars.

"A 10 yuan, after the official platform is divided into fifty and fifty, you can still earn 700,000, deducting the game production cost of 10W, and making a net profit of 60W?"

"If you make a profit, the conversion reward ratio is 1 to 100, and the reward of 60W is 6,000 yuan?"

Lin Le held his forehead and immediately exited the backstage.

He didn't want to see this kind of data for even a second, his heart was congested!

At 0:00 in the morning, Lin Le received a prompt from the system.

[Ding, the initial settlement task is completed, and the reward will be automatically converted.] 】

【Business Capital:60W】

[Personal funds: six thousand.] 】

[It is detected that the commercial funds are abundant, and it will not be replenished this time.] 】

[Note: Settlement is only an integer.] 】

[Mission release: Please use 600,000 funds to make a card mobile game.] 】

[One month after the profit and loss settlement date. 】

Lin Le smiled bitterly: "Okay, six thousand yuan can also improve the quality of life."

It's a pity that the 40,000 yuan owed by my parents can't be repaid. ”

"Alas, the coming day is long, let's sleep first, recharge our energy, and toss this new task tomorrow."

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, 10 o'clock.

Thinking of the 100,000 yuan, he didn't sleep soundly last night, Lin Le turned on the computer listlessly, ready to take a look at the mobile game situation in this parallel world.

"Ding!"

As soon as he landed on the official game platform, Lin Le received a message from the official customer service.

He clicked on it and took a look: "Dear designer Mr. Lin Le, congratulations on your work "Oriental Red Devil Township" won the championship of the flying shooting game competition, and the prize of 50,000 yuan has been sent to your personal account. ”

"What, I'm the champion?"

Lin Le looked confused.

Wait, 50,000 yuan!

Lin Le subconsciously asked the system if this bonus was his own personal funds.

"Non-profit funds, which belong to the personal property of the host."

Lin Le was overjoyed, and for the first time felt that the mechanical sound of the system was very good.

"Haha, happiness came so suddenly." Lin Le happily took out his mobile phone, called his parents, and after a pleasant greeting, he transferred all the 40,000 yuan loan.

It was not easy for the parents to lend money to the original owner to start a business, but they lost it all.

Now, I have helped to pay it back, and I have forgotten the regret of the original owner.

After completing this matter, Lin Le felt a lot more relaxed: "My failure this time was just a coincidence, first Wang Yuan made a hindrance from it, and then he was too superstitious and difficult to persuade players to quit, and ignored the charm of the characters of the Oriental series.

As long as you remember these two lessons, it's just a matter of losing money in games, is there anything easier than that?

Summing up his previous mistakes, Lin Le swept away the previous decadence and enthusiastically pondered how to design a money-losing mobile game.

........

At the same time, the Divine Sense Studio.

Tang Haotie's face was blue, and he was talking to Lao Zhang on his mobile phone, and his tone was a little irritable: "Lao Zhang, your ability to do things is too unreliable, right!?"

It's not for you to brush sales, how can in the end, my sales are still 10,000 less than the other side! ”

"Tang Hao, what you said is boring, my team has no problems, and everything that needs to be done has been done.

It's just that there are rules in our industry, this is an official competition, and the brush is too obvious, and it is easy to be exposed.

So, on my side, it's all done slowly, step by step.

The main reason for this defeat is that your game is not competitive.

Other people's games don't need to be swiped, they all sell more than yours, what can I do? ”

Lao Zhang's words were sharp and very polite

"You..."

Tang Hao was speechless, annoyed and angry, and hung up the call directly.

Just then, the phone rang again.

Tang Hao, who was angry, just wanted to pinch it off, but when he saw that the caller was Tang Qi, he directly changed his solemn expression and pressed the answer button.

"Tang Hao, how are you doing in the competition?" A magnetic male voice came from the other side.

Tang Hao whispered back: "Today's results are out, I am the second place, and I can't be promoted to B level." ”

Tang Qi: "It's just a small thing, you are my cousin, I will also take care of you."

We at Antarctic Games recently set up a new project to make an innovative mobile game.

I'm the person in charge, the design draft is sent to you, and you do it according to mine.

When the game is on the shelves, I'll put your name on the design list.

You're going to get promoted to B grade, easily. ”

Shenyi Studio was newly established funded by Antarctic Games, and Tang Qi is an A-level designer who has done many popular games, and his position in Antarctic Games is very high.

Hearing this, Tang Hao was pleasantly surprised: "Cousin, with you, I'll invite you to dinner another day." ”

"Well, I sent you an email with the design draft, you take a look at it carefully, I still have something to do, so I won't talk about it yet."

After the call, Tang Hao excitedly checked the design draft in the email, which detailed a Q version of the card mobile game called "My Name is Brave".

Each Hero Card has a beautiful standing art, its own skills and characteristics.

Lineup with gameplay, arenas, etc.

It's all fresh ways to play that haven't been on the market yet.

"My cousin is really a genius who has directly created a new type of mobile game." The more he looked at Tang Hao, the more he admired, and then he saw the charging points detailed on the design draft.

"It costs 100,000 yuan for players to top up from V1 to V10.

For each VIP level, you will receive an SSR hero card, and the higher the VIP level, the stronger the hero card will be. ”

"30 crystals draw cards ten times, one crystal 6 yuan.

The player has a 0.7 percent chance of drawing an SSR and a 1 percent chance of an SR, with no guarantee. ”

Tang Hao felt that this charging method was not very friendly at first, but then he saw that the design draft explained the idea.

"This mobile card game is unique and has no competitors.

It looks quite expensive, but there are more rich people playing games, and it is normal to recharge to improve the experience.

As for the lack of guarantees, as long as players like the game, even if they say that they will not recharge again, most players will still be willing to recharge when their favorite cards appear.

After all, most players are pure and play games just for fun. ”

Tang Hao thought about it carefully, isn't this the psychology of the player?

"This game will definitely be popular, and I'm afraid that the monthly flow will break the record at that time, in this case, I'm not far from flying Huang Tengda!" Tang Hao was ecstatic, and immediately set about arranging a detailed production plan.
