Chapter 299: It's All One Family (2/5 for the Alliance Leader's Flying Mountain Flowing Snow)
Listening to Lao Xie talk about the design ideas and successful experience of "Dawn Era", Liu Yuxin was stunned.
Lao Xie turned out to be the producer of "Dawn Era"?
Liu Yuxin just told him that he has a lot of research on "Dawn Era", and said that Lao Xie's game should refer to the heavy gameplay of "Dawn Era"?
Refer to a fart, that's all the rest of Lao Xie's play!
The key is that Liu Yuxin also took the trouble to tell Lao Xie a lot of experience and experience, and put forward a lot of opinions as a person who came over, but now that I look at it, I also put forward an opinion on wool, do you have that qualification?
"Dawn Era" estimates that the monthly turnover has exceeded 20 million, and it is still rising, Liu Yuxin just copied the skin and made a game that is "expected" to have a monthly turnover of seven or eight million, this is not a level at all, what else do you have to say?
In the small circle of mobile games in Huaxia District, all producers do not pay attention to seniority, company size, or resources at hand.
There is only one thing to pay attention to, and that is the monthly flow.
Looking at money nakedly, but it is a very common phenomenon in this circle, the reason why Liu Yuxin has confidence is precisely because of the estimated monthly flow of 8 million in "Mecha Tide" that gives him confidence, but now he ......
Compared with "Dawn Era", Liu Yuxin was instantly deflated.
"This old Xie is too unkind, "Dawn Era" was made by you, why did you say it earlier!"
Liu Yuxin felt that he was about to break the sky, but fortunately, the two of them spoke in a small voice just now, and it is estimated that no one else heard it except for the little chief designer sitting next to Lao Xie. If it was heard by other directors of Guangyi Mutual Entertainment, Liu Yuxin would not be ridiculed until he retired?
On stage, Lao Xie finished speaking "Dawn Era", and the response was good.
Immediately afterwards, Lao Xie took out the content of "City Guard Battle" and talked about it as usual, and then played a demo video of the game.
"This is our next game from Tianji Studio, City Guardian Battle, which is a mobile game for the global market......"
In today's process, several designers have to talk about their new games, on the one hand, to exchange experiences, and on the other hand, to promote their new games. Although this conference did not pay much attention to the general public, many game media participated, and some information will still flow out more or less.
When Lao Xie was talking about "Dawn Era", the designers on the scene listened very carefully, and some people nodded frequently.
But when it comes to "City Defense", many people were still in high spirits at the beginning, but slowly, they began to get a little distracted.
Director Su, who was sitting next to Liu Yuxin, shook his head frequently.
"This is not good." Director Su muttered to himself in a low voice.
When Liu Yuxin heard this, he instantly came to his senses, and the hero saw the same thing!
This Director Su once made a bracelet game with a monthly flow of more than 10 million, and he is also a highly valued designer within Guangyi Interactive Entertainment, and he naturally knows Liu Yuxin, but because he is not in charge of Mr. Lu, the two of them are not too familiar, but they just happened to sit together today.
What Liu Yuxin said to Lao Xie before was indeed the true feeling in his heart, and he really felt that the game "City Guard Battle" was not good. The reason is simple, the gameplay is too simple!
In fact, there is only one way to play the game from beginning to end, which is 1V1 battles, including 2V2 battles, clan battles, etc., in the final analysis, they are all derivatives of 1v1 battles, and there is not much difference in terms of fun.
With such a simple way of playing, maybe players don't get tired of playing for a day or a week, but what about a month? What about three months?
Obviously, in Liu Yuxin's view, the single gameplay is the biggest flaw of this game, and the inability to maintain the player's long-term popularity means that the game's stamina is insufficient.
Of course, if in the previous Chinese mobile game market, "making quick money" was not a derogatory term, and it was better to make money than to lose money, but now with "Dawn Era" and a number of heavy games, many designers have found that it is more profitable to do long-term.
Liu Yuxin found that other designers had the same opinion as himself, and instantly felt a feeling of meeting a confidant, and said in a low voice: "I also think this game is not good, the gameplay is too simple." ”
Director Su nodded: "Yes, the single gameplay is the biggest flaw, and there are many other problems." Another point is that the gameplay of this game has never been seen before, on the one hand, there is a lot of pressure on the stats and balance, and on the other hand, the players really don't really accept it. It seems that Lao Xie began to float after making a popular "Dawn Era", blindly innovating, and forgetting all the advantages he relied on to survive. ”
Liu Yuxin nodded violently, deeply convinced.
Before, he felt that there was something wrong with "City Guard Battle", but this was just his idea, and he was not very confident; But now other designers are thinking the same way as themselves, so that means ...... It's Lao Xie who is wrong!
There are many such phenomena in the mobile game circle, and there is even a saying that the companies that produce popular games are often unable to continue the glory of the previous popular works for a long time.
It's like a curse that very few companies or studios can get rid of. Anyone who got rid of it has developed into a supergiant in the industry without exception.
A very important reason is that mobile games need a lot of innovation, simply retaining the basic gameplay and changing the skin can make a profitable work, but it is impossible to make a hit, so many designers want to make a lot of innovation after making a hit, and then achieve greater success...... However, after innovation, it is often found that the market does not accept it and collapses.
In the eyes of Director Su and Liu Yuxin, Lao Xie is playing with fire, and this is taking a wrong route!
Many of the designers present obviously also have this attitude, if "City Guardian Battle" is something made by other designers, it may be more ruthlessly ridiculed, but Lao Xie and Tianji Studio have made the successful product "Dawn Era", so although everyone thinks that "City Guardian Battle" is still not good, they still maintain the most basic respect and restraint.
Soon, Lao Xie finished speaking, and the scene erupted in applause again.
Lao Xie returned to his seat, and Liu Yuxin pretended to be playing with the bracelet to avoid temporary embarrassment.
There was another presentation in the morning, after which the morning session ended.
At the end of the session, Director Su said to Lao Xie, "Director Xie, do you want to go to dinner together?" Director Liu, are you with you? ”
Director Su is still very interested in Lao Xie, after all, he is the producer who made "Dawn Era", and he is an old colleague from before (although he was not very familiar with him before), it is still necessary to have a meal together and exchange feelings.
Lao Xie nodded: "Okay." ”
"I ...... Belch...... Good. Liu Yuxin originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, it seems that there is really no good reason to refuse, so let's go.
Director Su, Liu Yuxin, Lao Xie, Jia Jia, and two other directors of Guangyi Mutual Entertainment, the six of them went to the internal restaurant of Guangyi Mutual Entertainment and found a high-end dining area.
The in-house restaurant of Guangyi Mutual Entertainment occasionally undertakes some high-end banquets, so it is quite good to have a few private rooms. After entering, Director Su pushed Lao Xie to the main seat in the middle, and sat in the seat of the main companion, Jia Jia was next to Lao Xie, and Liu Yuxin was on the other side.
Guangyi Mutual Entertainment's restaurant also has a lot of high-end dishes, and soon the dishes came up, everyone pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and Director Su kept talking to Lao Xie for a long time, and the scene was quite harmonious.
Jia Jia was eating with his head bored on the side, and he had no topic to talk about, but he didn't have the idea of participating in the discussion at all, so he thought the food was good and delicious.
Looking at Jia Jia, who was bored eating, Liu Yuxin suddenly had an idea, he wanted to inquire a little about the inside information.
What is the inside information?
Of course, some accurate data from "Dawn Era", as well as the approximate income of Tianji Studio!
The specific data of "Dawn Era" so far has never been officially disclosed, and the outside world is just guessing, thinking that its monthly turnover may have broken 20 million, but is there any specific? No one can say.
Of course, Liu Yuxin is also curious about this, and he also wants to know, how much money can Lao Xie make when he goes out to run his own studio?
Ask Lao Xie? You may not be able to ask, Lao Xie is an old fox, he looks very Buddhist and easy-going, but the city is deep, and it is very likely to lie to himself.
But the chief designer next to me, who just graduated...... Not necessarily.
Seeing that this young man has just graduated, he may be lucky, and as soon as he entered the industry, he followed Lao Xie to make a project like "Dawn Era", but there is definitely no city government, just look at the posture of eating food at this table, it is definitely rare to come to this kind of social occasion.
And he is the chief designer, and the data in the game must be known very clearly.
"Come, Brother Jia is young and promising, and his future is limitless, I would like to give you a drink." Liu Yuxin picked up the wine glass and touched one with Jia Jia.
Jia Jia hurriedly said: "Don't dare, Director Liu is a senior, and I still have to learn." ”
Liu Yuxin was secretly happy in his heart, feeling that there was a drama in this matter.
The two chatted casually, and Liu Yuxin pretended to ask casually: "Brother, it is said that the monthly flow of "Dawn Era" is 20 million, is it true?" ”
"Twenty million?" Jia Jia was stunned for a moment, "Rumors, right?" ”
"Grapevine, grapevine." Liu Yuxin hurriedly said, "It was calculated by some people in the industry based on the data of "Dawn Era". Why, depending on what my brother means, it's actually less than 20 million? ”
"It was over 30 million last week." Jia Jia didn't know why.
Liu Yuxin almost choked to death with a sip of wine.
What's the situation, the people in Tianji Studio can't chat like this, right?
Liu Yuxin calmed down and asked again: "That's really gratifying, congratulating." If you remove the tax deduction and channel sharing, and divide the bonus according to the ratio of 10%, the bonus of your project should have a ...... What does 120, 1.3 million look like? You are the chief designer, you should be at least 100,000, right? ”
"Oh?" Jia Jia was stunned for a moment, "How can there be so little." ”
Liu Yuxin really didn't hold it this time.
What do you mean by "how can there be so little"?!
Is that less???
The key is that Jia Jia's expression is too serious, and it can be seen that he is not joking, but really thinks that Liu Yuxin said that the number is small......
Liu Yuxin looked at Jia Jia's face hard, trying to tell whether this was the truth or acting, but after looking at it for two minutes, he didn't see it.
Jia Jia saw that he didn't believe it, and added: "My bonus last month was more than 500,000 yuan." ”
“…… Where did you get so much money!! Liu Yuxin felt that his brain was completely insufficient, and for the first time he heard that a game with a monthly turnover of 30 million yuan could give the chief designer a bonus of 500,000 yuan.
Could it be that half of the project's income is used for bonuses?
Loser! What a loser!
"Oh, our project is 20% of the income to give bonuses, isn't that ...... More than five million and nearly six million. Jia Jia took a crab from the table and began to peel it.
Liu Yuxin was even more puzzled: "20% of the project is more than 5 million bonuses?" No, what about tax deductions? What about channel sharing? At least half of the channel should be divided, and half of the 30 million is 15 million. ”
"What channel is divided? There is no channel sharing. Jia Jia nibbled on the crab claws.
Liu Yuxin scratched his head: "Brother Jia, don't bluff me, how can there be no channel to divide ...... "Dawn Era" is not sent by Tianji Studio, it is sent on the Shimmer game platform, you don't give the Shimmer game platform a penny??? ”
"It's all a family, what's the money?" Jia Jia nibbled on the crab roe without grace, "This crab is good, I'll buy a few when I go back...... It's a pity it won't do. ”
Liu Yuxin felt that his whole person was not good.
"It's all one family???
Shimmer Studio was run by Zhong Ming, so Tianji Studio was also run by Zhong Ming, isn't Lao Xie starting his own business? ?
And you don't need a channel to make the monthly turnover 30 million, which means that the 30 million is all in your own bag in addition to tax deductions, and 20% of the bonus......
Liu Yuxin felt a little dizzy, and the whole person temporarily fell into a sluggish state.
"This crab is good, come to Director Liu, you can eat one too." Jia Jia took a crab from the table and put it on Liu Yuxin's plate.
Liu Yuxin looked at this crab and always felt as if he saw Zhong Ming showing his teeth and claws at him......
He couldn't help but wonder, if there was no bonus at the beginning, would he sit in Lao Xie's place now?
……
"Ahh
Zhong Ming rubbed his nose: "Who is talking about me behind my back?" ”
On the Shimmer Studio's side, "Xuanjia Project" is under steady development, and the GS1 version and the PC version are equally important.
With the development experience of "Resident Evil", "Xuanjia Project" is not too difficult to do, relatively speaking, it is the progress of Lin Xiaoguang's GS1 equipment, which makes Zhong Ming a little worried.
However, it doesn't matter if the device is developed a little slowly, when the time comes, it can be released on the PC version first, and then the GS1 will be released.
This time, Zhong Ming doesn't plan to let "Xuanjia Project" be on GAME OMNI, GS1 exclusive. When GS1 is made, it will be in direct competition with GAME OMNI.
It's that "City Guard Battle" should be almost ready to be launched, but it seems that the specific date has not yet been decided.
The launch time of this game is very arbitrary, and Zhong Ming doesn't plan to invest too many resources in publicity, and there is nothing to promote in mobile games.
Now the focus is still on GS1 equipment and the "Xuanjia Project".
