Chapter 81: The Sea of Learning Knows No Bounds
In the conference room, everyone in the project is here.
Originally, Zhong Ming thought that it would be enough to call only a few core members, but after thinking about it, in fact, there were only a dozen people in the entire project......
Director Xie sat in the middle position, took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "Well, everyone is here." That's the case, our project is almost at the time of the final sprint, whether it can be done or not, it depends on the trembling of the past two weeks, so I have a temporary meeting today, I hope everyone can hold back and don't relax. ”
"Today's meeting was proposed by Zhong Ming, and you should all know that he is now the architect of our project, and he is very capable. Today he has some modification suggestions to share with you, everyone listens, after all, there is no end to the optimization and modification of the game, we are still within the scope of our ability, and do our best work. Come, everyone is welcome. ”
Everyone applauded, and Zhong Ming stood up and bowed slightly.
Then he quickly tapped twice on the bracelet, and an invisible wave instantly spread, enveloping the area of about ten meters centered on Zhong Ming, covering the entire conference room.
Zhong Ming could see that the fluctuations of the water ripples were constantly dissipating, while the others were as usual, and it was obvious that only Zhong Ming himself could see this scene.
Zhong Ming cleared his throat.
"My suggestion is to leave only one or two programs to continue optimizing the current game in the next two weeks, and everyone else's energy will be turned to the development of a new game, and a new educational game will be developed within two weeks, and the current game will be launched at the same time."
Director Xie was stunned, and the others were also stunned.
What's the situation?
What about some suggestions for optimizing and modifying the current game?
How to make a new game? Isn't that?
Under normal circumstances, Director Xie would probably interrupt at this time, and the others would definitely not be able to listen, but under the influence of the aura effect, they didn't react so much, and they were all very restrained, waiting to hear what Zhong Ming was going to say next.
Time is precious, Zhong Ming continued: "There are several very fatal problems in the current game project, and they are basically difficult to solve: first, it is customized, just to meet the needs of the previous educational institution, which is not in line with the current game market at all, even if some modifications have been made, its essence has not changed; Second ......"
Zhong Ming quickly talked about why the current game couldn't be successful.
Everyone present had a very worried expression, and it was obvious that Zhong Ming's speech convinced them that this game was indeed cool!
If it weren't for the role of the halo, many people might still bury their heads in their own world and be reluctant to come out, and they would have to wait for the game to be launched to be bad before they believed that the game was not good, but now Zhong Ming's words have a natural demagogy, making some originally correct statements easier to understand and easier to recognize.
"If the data is too poor after the project is launched, the whole project will face the risk of being laid off, and the previous project team No. 37 is a lesson from the past. So, we have to be prepared to use this time to make a game that can adapt to the market, so that even if the game fails now, we still have the possibility of turning around......"
"I know what you're trying to say, what you're trying to say, with the current manpower and time, there's simply not enough to develop a decent game. So I also wrote the design document, the name of this game, called "Learning the Sea", it is also an educational game, but its target audience is all ages. ”
Under the effect of the aura, every sentence Zhong Ming said was disassembled into a lot of information, which quickly penetrated into the brains of everyone present, and constantly accelerated the process of convincing.
Now that everyone agrees with the fact that the existing game is going to be cold, it's only natural that they are more attentive to the solution that Zhong Ming provides.
Under Zhong Ming's introduction, the whole picture of this game called "Endless Learning Sea" began to be shown in front of everyone.
It's not so much a game as it is a small program.
The interface resources required are very simple, and the rules are not complicated, the only thing that is more complicated is its huge question bank.
This is a quiz game that determines the winner based on two data: the time of answering the question and the correct rate. Each win or loss will have an impact on the player's ranking score, and the higher the ranking score, the more difficult the problems encountered and the stronger the opponent.
The game is not limited to two people, it is divided into two-person field, five-player field and eight-player field, two-person field is five questions, multi-player field has more questions, the competition system is longer, and after a certain extent, the player at the end will be eliminated, and in the end only one survivor is left, and the points obtained are higher than ordinary two-person field.
The ranking is determined according to the player's ranking score, and through the authorization of the player's social account, the player can compete with his friends in the real world on the leaderboard.
The content itself is actually not much, and Zhong Ming quickly finished speaking.
The people in the conference room looked at each other.
"Like...... It's a lot more fun than the game we're making now. The chief artist, Lao Li, touched his chin.
"Moreover, the target audience is really wide, and all ages should be able to target players." The main program, Brother Dahui, also helps.
Zhu Yang smacked the taste and raised a question: "But, this doesn't seem to be a game, strictly speaking, it's more like an APP, or a small program?" ”
Zhong Ming smiled: "It depends on your definition of the game, and the interactive entertainment that can bring players happiness is even a game." What's more, does it matter if the game is not? It would be nice to save our project. ”
Zhu Yang nodded: "That's right, what you said makes a lot of sense." ”
Director Xie scratched the only remaining hair on the side of his ear: "But, Xiao Zhong, I have two questions on my mind. First, since this game needs to be ranked, it must have a huge player base, can we push it in the early stage? Second, even if we can push it, where will this game be profitable? ”
Zhong Ming explained: "Yes, the initial promotion is indeed a serious problem, which needs to borrow a little company's promotion resources, but it is not possible to do robots to play with us in the early stage, and at the same time encourage the spread among players; As for profit, as long as the number of active players meets the requirements, we have many ways to make money, such as cooperating with some Q&A platforms, or selling naming rights. ”
Someone raised a few more questions, and Zhong Ming also answered them one by one.
This aura is not a brainwashing aura, it will only make it easier for others to believe Qin Guan's words, but it is not absolute. However, Qin Guan is fully prepared after all, and this design is also very mature, so after these questions are answered one by one, everyone's identification with "Learning the Sea is Boundless" will be even stronger.
The prototype of this game is from "The King of Minds", Million Answers, One Station to the End and other popular programs in Zhong Ming's previous life, the King of Minds, and Million Answers are small programs with relatively simple rules, and one station is a TV show, but they have all achieved great success and are all the rage.
Now in this project, the vast majority of people are only good at making educational games, and the time is limited, the manpower is limited, and the resources are limited, and the game "Endless Learning" is the only solution Zhong Ming can think of.
Fortunately, there are no similar competitors in this world.
As for why Zhong Ming is sure that this game can be successful? It is because in this era, people's thirst for fragmented knowledge has become a trend, and conforming to the trend is to find the outlet, as long as the outlet is right, any pig can fly to the sky.
