Chapter 119: Spore's Global Release Plan
"But I do know at least that if you want to run all the planets, you're going to have to go months without eating or drinking. In such a vast space, I think it is a must for a science fiction game, especially a game with an interstellar label! Four billion is a must! ”
"It's worth mentioning that we have a lot of freedom in this game! It's like it's shown on the big screen now, you can design creatures according to your liking, you can make it look like a dragon, or you can make infinite efforts to make your creature look like a ...... Person! Of course, in addition to pinching people, we have a more powerful function, which is to build our own buildings, our own vehicles, including spaceships! You can design a spaceship for yourself and fly freely through the galaxy with this spaceship of your own design! ”
"We designed a sharing mechanism for this game, where people can share their own creatures, buildings, vehicles, spaceships, etc. to our studio's workshop, and other players can download and import them into the game in the workshop, and can use these creative designs into their own universe."
"We have designed a certain payment mechanism for this, so that players can set a certain price for their ideas when they share their creative designs; At the same time, we are also officially willing to add some good ideas directly to the game's update with a one-time buyout. ”
At this time, a strange species appeared on the big screen, Liu Neng glanced up, and laughed, "This is a few creatures I designed, such as this one, everyone can see that it is a Totoro, a strange creature from Miyazaki's movie; And this one is a faceless man - but this race has no offensive organs, so its survivability is relatively poor! ”
"Of course, we also designed creatures like that – a white dragon, a white dragon horse, a golden monkey, and this one, a giant panda!"
"These colorful designs are really just to illustrate that there are many kinds of creatures that can be designed in Spore. But don't worry about the size of the pack that the game occupies, all creatures, buildings, and vehicles are combined according to some basic elements, the difference is how to put these elements together. It's like the basic information of a person is actually a piece of DNA, and everyone understands DNA, why is it different from people? It is because the information carried on this piece of DNA is different, so it will be expressed differently. ”
"People can design their own creatures in the game's workshop, and every once in a while we have a special theme where players can design different creatures, buildings, and vehicles based on different themes, and then run a poll event...... We will continue to hold such content. ”
The people who listened to Liu Neng's speech at the venue kept making up for this game in their minds with the PPT on the big screen, but after all, they didn't see the finished product. The effect on display is already amazing.
At first, you may not understand the so-called pinching system, after all, in the past, the vast majority of games, just simply designed some races, genders, occupations, etc. for players to choose, and in terms of image, at most, some clothes are changed, and even the game does not even choose the style of clothes, just change the color of the clothes, which can also be called a feature.
Spore shows players a higher degree of freedom, without distinction between classes, races, etc., and completely opens up these designs to players.
Moreover, the gradual evolution from a single-celled animal to a cosmic civilization cannot present such a concept in most people's minds.
Some people can't wait to get started with this game, at least let everyone see how the game is played.
"Awesome!" Who shouted, Liu Neng looked satisfied, but said very arrogantly, "This is awesome?" The few things I want to talk about later, there are at least a dozen! ”
There was a lot of laughter in the room.
"I don't know if you have any questions you want to ask now, I know that there will be a question session at the general new game press conference, so let's follow the normal process!"
"Of course, in order to prevent everyone from having nothing to ask, after all, it will be embarrassing, so we contact the venue, and there is a small instrument on everyone's left hand, this small instrument can record everyone's seat number, and pressing the button means that you have a question to ask. These will be displayed in the background, and then we can draw numbers, and the selected numbers can ask questions...... You shouldn't be able to say that there is no problem, right? Then I'm really embarrassed......"
"Okay, we've now told me that there are more than 400 numbers to ask questions about...... Let's pick a number...... Good stop! As soon as Liu Neng's voice fell, the numbers flashing on the big screen froze, "No. 548, who is 548?" Ask questions! ”
A spotlight shone into a corner, and a thin and weak boy stood up, "Hello, Brother Neng!" My name is Yin Aohui. ”
"Hello, Mr. Yin, please tell us your dream...... No, please ask! ”
"I want to ask, how much will this game be priced at in the end...... You know, most of the student parties are actually very poor......"
"That's a good question!" Liu Neng nodded, "I haven't thought about this question before, but I can give you an answer now." First of all, the pricing of this game, we will be priced at 99 yuan, and the domestic version is this price; Prices fluctuate slightly depending on the region in foreign countries......"
Speaking of this price, in fact, the audience here is playing drums in their hearts. This price is not particularly high in China, but the domestic game environment is relatively strange, and they are too accustomed to the model of "charging for free game props", so that they spend money to buy a game, which is a bit reluctant; Many domestic companies will try their best to go up to the price of 68 for stand-alone games.
This thirty yuan may seem like a lot, but in fact, it is a lot.
99 yuan is already infinitely close to 100 yuan in the player's psychology; And 68 yuan, for most people, is a day's food money; Compared with hundreds of yuan and a day's meal, it is obvious that the latter has a price advantage.
Liu can know, and everyone knows.
"But the question you just mentioned is very interesting, I thought about this question for a while, and now I can answer Yin Aohui's question - for the student party, we will implement preferential policies from now on, but it is for college students; All college students and graduate students can apply for certification on our platform, and students who have passed the certification can purchase our games at a 3% discount; We haven't launched this feature yet, but we'll add it in a future update! ”
