Chapter 196: A pre-development meeting for the game
Guanghua City.
Liu Neng had a meeting with Zhang Yueyang, Zhuge Jun, and the planners of the game studio of the Three Kingdoms of Mexico.
The first one is about the game Storm.
Zhang Yueyang was the first to object, "Now we have an SLG page game with the theme of the Three Kingdoms, which is the Three Kingdoms. There is also a double-end game of the kings of the dispute in development.,It involves the web game version.,It's also an SLG game.,Although it's not the theme of the Three Kingdoms.,But the theme is very similar.。 There's really no need to start from scratch to make a Three Kingdoms-themed web game SLG.,Not to mention how good or bad this city attack will be.,In any case, it will divert our current players.。 ”
Liu Neng said, "Of course, the diversion is certain. But I have some plans of my own, and the strife of kings is not mainly promoted in the country. As I said before,This game will have a built-in translator.,And the main version is mobile.,This was set a long time ago.,And domestic SLG web games will not form a strong competitive relationship.,That's okay for everyone, right? ”
Zhang Yueyang nodded in acknowledgement.
"Let's talk about the Three Kingdoms, this game was released in September last year. It's been almost half a year now, and although the income is still passable, it has dropped by three percent compared with the peak time. Recently, I asked Xu Jindong to start doing a few web games to do the intermodal thing, just to make another profit before the income of these games is completely low. In the market of page games, I want to say that some of the previous ideas are still a little simpler, and it does have room for further exploration, including income or something. ”
"Didn't you go to last year's Goldfish Cup? I've also seen a lot of game manufacturers making SLG web games, and other web games, copying ours, and creating their own gameplay. If we don't occupy the market, we will give the market to others. Besides, the logic of this game is completely different from that of the Three Kingdoms, and we must also innovate when we make games, and we can't stick to the rules, otherwise how boring it is? ”
Zhang Yueyang was defeated, look at Zhuge Yuan, the two of them are on the same front, I hope he can come forward and continue to vote against.
But Zhuge Yuan said, "That's right, I agree, both hands agree." ”
", you ......" Zhang Yueyang, a middle-aged man, also jumped out to scold the street, but he didn't expect this kid to claim to be a descendant of Zhuge Liang, and he also betrayed the revolution?
"Okay, let's talk about the next topic, do you have any questions about the design direction of the game?"
One of the planners raised his hand and said, "I have a question, we always need to set a goal for the player. But see the design of this game. In the past, including the Three Kingdoms or other SLG web games, they all took the same server as the highest goal, and then merged servers, or did activities such as cross-server battles. But conquering the city, I feel a little painful, what is the goal? In terms of design, it is completely not allowed to allow players to unify the server, and in the later stage, players discover this design, and they don't directly collapse their mentality? ”
"Goals are something that sometimes doesn't have to be a kind that hangs over your head, it can be something else. Let's go back to the design of this game, and the target audience may have been mistaken. Brother Yueyang, and Zhuge , remember, there have been some changes in the operation strategy page tour in the future......"
"Huh? What's changing? ”
"The target player portrait is those who are urban white-collar workers who have some income, but don't have that much time, or don't have that much time to play games. Your operational strategy and online activity strategy after the game launch will change. ”
"You mean, the target audience for this game is not student parties, but urban white-collar workers? It's a bit of a novelty. This is also the group of users who used to play social games on social media, but their aurp value will be relatively low. Xu Jindong said.
"That's because the paid design and game design of the Happy series of games themselves are like this, which are based on the number of users, and cannot be measured by the same scale. The excellence of the Happy series, more than a dozen servers are actually just split with one server. It's still very different from the average game. The paid design of the city will be more aggressive, to put it simply, this game is a kryptonite game. ”
"Let's talk about the question I just talked about, what is it? Oh yes, it's a sense of purpose, and the goal of this game is to grow up, that is, the player's real goal is to develop a roster that can kill and damage the enemy forces in the most effective way. As for the unified server, it simply does not exist. Theoretically, after playing for a day or two, aside from those system soldiers, any player has the ability to unify the whole server. Playing any game is actually the pursuit of a cool feeling, and the cool feeling of this SLG game lies in effectively killing the enemy, effectively resisting the enemy's attack, and effectively defeating the enemy in 1v1 battles. As for the same server, is that cool? ”
"Your design is so unorthodox that I really don't think players will buy it." Zhang Yueyang saw that everyone was convinced, sighed, and made the last powerless struggle.
"Brother Yueyang, you still don't believe me. Anyway, this game won't be too time-consuming and labor-intensive, right? In this case, you can make a demo first, and then release it to test, and do a test for at least seven days, you must first ensure that within seven days, any player has the ability to carry the full server. Look at the player feedback, and if they like it, let's go ahead and do it? Is this okay? ”
"You're the boss, what do you say we do. I'm just voicing my concerns. Zhang Yueyang spread his hands, very helpless.
He patted Yue Yang's shoulder, "Sometimes experience is really helpful, but sometimes, experience will give you some wrong judgments. ”
Zhang Yueyang's heart moved slightly, he didn't know that nerve was touched, and he thought in his heart, am I really old?
Liu Neng has seen Zhuge Yuan's design plan, and basically retains the designs he said at the beginning. The forces are still classified according to Wei Shu Wu, and the player's game content is divided into three parts, one is a copy, one is a personal map, and one is a battle map.
The dungeon follows the player's cultivation line, and the player will continue to advance here, and more than 50% of the generals will be invested. The remaining nearly 50 percent is delivered through activities and consumption. The upgrades, advancements, and equipment systems of the generals are relatively perfect.
Then there is the question of the construction of the inner city. The operation of the whole game is relatively foolish, and it is also very easy, one-click upgrade, waiting for recruitment. Of course, the strategy will be a bit strategic, but most of the time it is numerical crushing, and the cultivation line is simple and rough, and there are not so many fancy intestines. Players just need to train their generals in the order of white, green, blue, purple, orange, and red. The advantage of high-level generals over low-level generals is crushing.
To put it simply, it's just brainless.
