Chapter Eighty-Three: What's the New Setting?
Until the end of the year, Liu Neng has been working on the expansion pack of "Three Kingdoms" and the related work of offline physical cards. The release of cards is actually not particularly profitable, but Liu Neng still has to do it, and he must do it.
Some people may think that the physical card package is quite profitable, but in fact, compared to the online version, the money made by the physical card package is nothing more than the price difference; But a set of cards is only about 30 yuan - this is the price that Liu can put on this set of cards, in order to allow more people to play this game, and not be discouraged by the price of the cards. Fifty or so cards, in the case of exquisite workmanship, the production cost itself will exceed ten yuan. And the card pack can't just be sold on the official website, it should be more for the owner of the board game store, and it needs to be divided into them, and the last thirty yuan will fall into the hands of the studio, but only a few or ten yuan.
Physical cards will also sell far fewer than the online version, and should not be on the same order of magnitude at all. Therefore, this income is not a thing that can be interesting for the Blue Star Studio, which has reached a monthly income of more than 100 million.
However, in the process of physical card experience, because it can communicate and fight face-to-face, its viewing is stronger. If possible, people would prefer to play live rather than playing cards in front of a computer screen in a cramped room.
The more important significance of physical cards is to support a large event.
The promotion of the second phase of "Three Kingdoms Kill OL" has been fully rolled out, and thanks to the remarkable effect of the first phase, Liu Neng is even more impressed with Xie Chunjiao. And the advertising fee has been increased to 300W, which is an increase of one million compared to the previously promised price. The effect is naturally not as bright as the first issue, after all, the advertising effect of the magic stroke from the end of December to the beginning of January can be described as national news, which not only benefits the game "Three Kingdoms Kill OL", but also makes the Daystar at that time, and now the Blue Star game studio group become the hottest game developer now.
But Liu Neng also knows that there are a lot of killing elements in it, but if the later games are not satisfactory, the backlash in word-of-mouth will make the Blue Star Studio Group directly become the target of public criticism.
It's just that he's quite confident that the fourth game he made won't fail.
One day Liu Neng came to the office, Xu Yuting found him and asked, "There are two things I want to report to you, one good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" ”
"Whatever, how can there be so much good and bad news?"
"Okay, the first news is that the game monkey is going to conduct an exclusive interview with you, let me make an appointment with you, when do you see when you have time?"
"Isn't there an option to refuse?" Liu Neng asked.
Xu Yuting was a little confused, "Refuse? This is a great opportunity to spread the word about us, so you shouldn't turn it down, right? ”
"It seems to make some sense, so let's make an appointment. It's OK this afternoon, or tomorrow morning, and I'm not busy. "Liu Neng is now in the state of a half-sage, he has recruited so many people, and he has assigned the most important development tasks to the three countries of Mexico, and he doesn't need to keep up with the development progress all the time, he just needs to keep an eye on it from time to time. Zhang Yueyang was staring at the affairs of the studio group again, and he was happy.
Xu Yuting pursed her mouth, "I can envy me." ”
"And what's the good news?"
"That's the good news! How can this be bad news? Boss, you're sick in the head! The bad news is that Feiliu Creative Entertainment, copied our game, and some concept drawings have been released, and the specific release time is not yet known, but it is estimated that the industry will be stuck with us and we will be stuck in the card for sale. ”
"Dare to talk to the boss like this, you are still the first!" Liu Neng touched his chin and looked at Xu Yuting, "Aren't you afraid that I will deduct your salary?" ”
"Cut!" Xu Yuting threw him the back of his head, "Love is not buckled." ”
Regarding the copying of "Three Kingdoms Kill OL", I think it will definitely happen, but it is still a little unexpected to start copying it so soon. In fact, even if Xu Yuting didn't say it, Liu Neng also heard some rumors, after all, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and he even found out some news that the name of the new game is "Hero Killing", developed by Feiliu Creative Entertainment, and Tengfei Company relies on its strong publicity and distribution capabilities to prepare for the operation of the game.
This made him feel a little emotional, you and me, who were still cooperating with him before, are you going to see you now, is it your mistake? He doesn't think so.
Some time ago, Guo Yu made a special trip to Guanghua City to find himself, and he believed that Guo came with great sincerity and friendliness. But Guo Yu is too domineering, whether it is his style or personality, this kind of thing should be something you and I want to do, but Guo Yu wants to sign the game as a whole, and he didn't even give him any other choice.
Liu Neng could only refuse.
As for Tengfei, he was equally helpless. Hu Yuehai does not represent Tengfei Company, he is only the product manager of QC space, and there are not many words that can be said, and even if he says it, it may not be able to change the minds of higher-level leaders. Tengfei Company took a fancy to Feiliu Entertainment's game development capabilities and background, and also wanted a game that could be played, and it was not surprising that they cooperated with "Hero Killing".
What's more, Liu Neng and Hu Yuehai's personal relationship may not be really that good.
As for the plagiarism thing, since there is no way to avoid it, then win this battle of plagiarism and anti-plagiarism with dignity, so that players will also know that Li Ghost really can't beat Li Kui.
The exclusive interview was scheduled for the next day, but Liu Neng shook into the conference room at the moment and chatted with Zhang Yueyang about the design of the new game.
"I still feel very strange about your idea for this game, it was "Big Fish Eat Small Fish" in the early stage? The second stage is RPG? Role-playing? But it's not like it, it's a simulation of animals? The third and fourth phases are completely different from the first two phases, and the third phase is like a simulation game? The fourth stage is like a real-time strategy game? There is also a fifth stage, this one is even stranger, there are five ships in one fleet, the flagship is its own, and the remaining four are allies? Just rely on this fleet to conquer the universe? You're a bit of a joke, aren't you? ”
The more Zhang Yueyang looked at this game proposal, the more unreliable he felt, "So what kind of game are you?" ”
"If we really want to define it, we can define it as a simulation game, SLG." Liu Neng looked at Lao Zhang with a smile, "Don't make a fuss, imagine what the original definition of SLG games was?" ”
"I know SLG is a simulation game, but what exactly are you simulating? What the hell is Grox? Cyborgs? Zhang Yueyang had a headache when he looked at it, he had never seen this type of game, and he couldn't define him.
"How did the species evolve from cells to cosmic-level creatures step by step, and the role you play in the game is God! As for Grox, you think of it as the philosophy of the game, right? When I'm done writing the overall story of the game, you'll know what kind of story it is, and it's guaranteed to be an interesting story! ”
