Chapter 45 About the next expansion plan of the game
After teaching Hu Yuehai the most basic operations, he directly gave him the computer to experience this web game.
Hu Yuehai is constantly playing, and at the same time, he is constantly thinking about what effect this game can bring to QC and QC space.
After a brief understanding of the gameplay of this game, he focused on its social gameplay, but the more he looked at it, the more he was pleasantly surprised, this game can almost be said to be tailor-made for the QC space.
Liu Neng peeked at the other party's expression, knew his thoughts in his heart, and said with a smile, "I know that your company has been vigorously promoting QC space recently, and this kind of product similar to blog gameplay is actually not the same as the blogs of some other portals." Those personal blogs are one-way, i.e. I can follow a star and see the posts on his blog; However, QC is different, it is a two-way street, and two people must become friends to be able to access each other's space through QC. Putting aside the advantages and disadvantages of these two product forms and thinking, simply saying that the product of QC Space is not suitable for the promotion method of general blogs, such as finding some celebrities to settle in. ”
Hu Yuehai nodded yes, "Those celebrities don't want their QC number to be exposed to the masses and fans, for BB users, QC number is a kind of identity privacy." ”
"That's right. Therefore, as mentioned before, although the two products are similar, the promotion methods are not the same. Although this page game of mine seems to be simple, it is actually very helpful for your company's recent business promotion, such as friend rankings, stealing vegetables, helping to water and catch insects, etc., which are consistent with the compatibility of QC space. And the interface of the game is more Q version, so people will not feel uncomfortable. At the same time, this game doesn't kill players too much, you can secretly paddle a few times during work hours and steal a few friends' dishes......"
These words were all said to Hu Yuehai's heart, but based on the negotiations in the business field, he couldn't show too excitement now.
"In general, I don't think there are any special shortcomings in this game, and it may be a bit single in terms of gameplay, but for such a game that is suitable for everyone, and it is a long-term planning simulation game, the core of its gameplay is in the social system, not in the gameplay. In terms of gameplay alone, I still have a series of expansion plans for this game in the later stage, and I don't need to worry about this content. ”
"Oh?" Hu Yuehai couldn't help but have a strong interest in the young man in front of him, "Mr. Liu, can you roughly talk about the follow-up gameplay settings?" ”
As far as the simple "Happy Farm" is concerned, it is true that the gameplay is relatively simple, and its gameplay system is concentrated in several blocks, 1 is the planting, harvesting and upgrading of seeds, 2 is the development and upgrading of farmland, 3 is stealing vegetables and preventing stealing vegetables, and 4 is the help of friends. The first two are single-player gameplay, and the last two are social gameplay. It may seem like four of a kind, but for any game, there may be more than four ways to play (aside from the extremely simple game of Blank Block, of course).
"In the subsequent version, on the one hand, we will continue to expand the content of "Happy Farm" itself, such as upgrading red land and black earth to increase mass production, opening up fish pond gameplay, increasing the player's level limit and opening up new crop types; At the same time, there will be the development of new dog breeds, dog house dress-up, farmland dress-up and other systems......"
Hu Yuehai nodded yes while listening, he is a product manager with a keen insight, and he can naturally capture some key information from this, such as the breed of the dog mentioned above, the way to dress up, etc., are actually profit points; In addition, Tengfei has made a very mature value-added gameplay, and other value-added services can also be added to the game.
"The gameplay of the game itself has actually expanded to this point. But! Liu Neng blew up these two words, "We will also make a number of similar games, such as "Happy Ranch", the main gameplay in it is to raise livestock and poultry, and its gameplay type is similar to "Farm". The key is that the food that the animals need to eat in "Happy Ranch" is grown on the farm, of course, if it is some local tyrants, it can naturally be bought with money. We will make a complete set of games with similar gameplay, from farms, ranches to operating stores, we will have a complete set of such games, and let their products and business needs form a perfect closed loop, make a product matrix, and greatly enrich the gameplay of the game......"
Hu Yuehai was really a little excited this time, and he applauded uncontrollably, "I went to the venue of the creative competition at the same time before, and came back and said that Mr. Liu is a genius in making games, I had doubts before, but now I really don't doubt it at all!" ”
When Liu Neng heard this, he knew that the transaction was almost stable this time, and said with a smile, "Boss Hu is serious." ”
The next thing to talk about is relatively easy, but there are still problems, for example, when Tengfei Company purchased the game agency, Hu Yuehai gave Liu Neng three choices:
1. Buyout, spend 5 million to buy out the agency rights of this game;
2. Share, 500,000 yuan to buy the agency right of the game, and at the same time, the profits generated by the game in the future, after deducting the operating expenses, Daystar Studio and Tengfei Company will divide it 6:4;
3. Guarantee, the two parties agree on three different revenue standards, and when the revenue reaches a certain stage, a certain fee will be paid to Daystar Game Studio; This revenue standard can be discussed in detail.
Liu Neng chose to divide almost without thinking about it, it is true that the current five million can bring him a lot of help, but he really understands how much energy this seemingly simple game can contain, especially under the urging of social networks, what kind of terrible revenue capacity will be released.
But on the issue of whether to be an exclusive agent, Liu Neng and Hu Yuehai argued again, Hu Yuehai naturally hoped for an exclusive agent, after all, there was no other branch of the company, which would bring great help to QC chat. However, Liu Neng insisted that he was unwilling to be an exclusive agent, and he hoped that this game could bring some new changes in the pattern on SNS.
Of course, he also said, "This game, the expansion plan I just mentioned is not counted, in fact, it is essentially a very simple game, and it is easy to reproduce it at the pixel level when other game companies do." Of course, it's unlikely that you will look so ugly, but you can still make it quickly by changing the skin, right? It doesn't mean much to you, but it's just that buying the right to operate is more suitable for you, and the price you need to pay is greater. ”
Hu Yuehai pondered for a while, "I hope to be able to sign another supplementary agreement with Mr. Liu, and there is no special distinction in the future update of the game version; But if it is to release other related products, such as "Happy Ranch" just mentioned, I hope that we can release it three days in advance, that is, three days earlier than other agencies; At the same time, for this agreement, I can increase the share of operating expenses to 1 million. ”
Liu Neng thought for a moment and agreed to this request.
