Chapter 11: New Version, No!

"Sure enough, it's still a small repair."

Zhong Ming quickly took a look at several new features and didn't find anything eye-catching.

In fact, he had already read the design documents of all the new features of the new version, and he had also tried out a few half-completed new features on the internal test server. However, there is still a difference between the beta version and the official version after all, so Zhong Ming played it again.

This did not change Zhong Ming's previous opinion, this version update can be regarded as a "small repair" at best, and it will not play a big role.

The content of the new version, what players are most looking forward to should be the "new mecha", that is, a few new mecha that players can spend money to draw or buy directly.

For Liu Yuxin and Zhou Zhen, what they value most is the content of this piece, because it is directly related to the profitability of the project.

If players particularly like the new mecha, pay more money to buy it, and the profitability of the project goes up, then Liu Yuxin can take this month's profit data to find more resources above.

Therefore, Liu Yuxin put a lot of energy on the content of the new mecha, hoping to stimulate players and make them regain interest in the recharge button.

"That's it, it's no fun."

Zhong Ming shook his head and quit the game.

He knew very well that the new mech could indeed improve the current situation a little, but the income really could not necessarily increase.

It is true that some wealthy people will buy new mechs, but the key is how much is this number? And don't forget, Mecha Era is a game that is constantly going downhill, losing a lot of players every month, and this churn will become more pronounced the more you go forward.

If it is obvious that there is no one to play the game anymore, who will spend money on a new mech? Who will show it after you buy it?

Players lose because they don't enjoy the game, they feel that they have lost their purpose and motivation in the game, so they give up. It's naΓ―ve to count on a few good-looking pictures, a few good-looking models and leave them behind.

As for what to write a backstory for the mecha, it's even more nonsense, and it's completely useless.

Of course, Liu Yuxin may also know this, but knowing it doesn't mean that he has a way. With limited resources, he can only make a few new mechas, and become a live horse doctor.

Soon, the airbus arrived.

Zhong Ming came to the project team and found that the project team was empty, and after ten minutes, two artists were late, and there was no one in the program team and the design team.

Obviously, I worked too late yesterday and couldn't get up today.

Zhong Ming didn't care, anyway, his work didn't need to cooperate with these people.

As soon as no one came, Zhong Ming took out his hand-drawn tablet from his bag and began to draw.

Regarding the new version plan, Zhong Ming actually has a rough idea in his mind, but he is not in a hurry to implement these contents.

Now Zhong Ming is drawing an original painting of the scene, but it is still in the line drawing stage, and he can't see too much content.

"Huh? Are you new to the design team? Can you draw? A voice said.

Zhong Ming looked up and found that a short, round-faced girl was looking at him in surprise with a water glass in her hand.

The girl is not more than 1.6 meters, but because of her small face and good body proportions, she doesn't look short, but she has a feeling of being a bird.

This girl Zhong Ming knows, it is a modeler in the art group, and the two of them don't look up to see each other, but they haven't spoken.

Seeing the girl like this, she should have found Zhong Ming painting when she went to fetch water, and she was very curious, so she came over to say hello.

Zhong Ming nodded: "My name is Zhong Ming, a new intern in the design team." ”

"Hello, my name is Jiang Wanna, a modeler in the art group." Jiang Wanna looked at Zhong Ming's skillful technique and was surprised, "You are so skilled and professional in this technique?" ”

Zhong Ming nodded: "Graduated from Ming'an University with a major in fine arts." ”

"Huh? I'm also an art major at Mineongan University! You were recruited by the school this year? Then I'm your senior sister! Jiang Wanna was even more surprised.

Zhong Ming smiled: "Hello, senior sister." ”

Jiang Wanna was a little puzzled: "Since you are an art major, why didn't you become an original artist?" ”

"Well, I'm more interested in design." Zhong Ming said.

Jiang Wanna felt a little regretful: "It's a pity, I see that your technique is so good, you must be very good as an original artist." But since you like design, you can't help it. Anyway, you can find me if you have any questions in the future, and we should deal with each other often in the future. ”

Zhong Ming nodded: "Okay." ”

Although the status of the modeler in the art group is lower than that of the original artist in general, it is certainly not easy for a modeler like Jiang Wanna.

The original artist is responsible for drawing, drawing the concept draft given by the design team, which is equivalent to artistic creation; The modeler, on the other hand, turns the original picture into a model, as long as the content of the original painting is faithfully reproduced.

So relatively speaking, the art literacy required by the original artist is higher, but there are no absolutes, like some players who can both draw and make models, they are very powerful, and they belong to the baby of the art group.

Since Jiang Wanna is an art major at Ming'an University, she must have a good professional quality in original painting.

After painting for more than two hours, Zhong Ming saw Xiong Kai coming, put away the hand-drawn tablet and put it back in his bag, so as not to be seen by him and be remembered again.

Xiong Kai didn't look like he had slept enough, and both of his eyes were dark. Yesterday I estimated that I worked overtime until three or four o'clock in the morning, and this morning I came again at eleven o'clock in the morning, and I only slept for five or six hours in total.

Xiong Kai didn't even look at Zhong Ming, but turned on his computer and looked at the data of the new version a little nervously.

The version update has been completed, the servers have been opened, and it is time for players to go online to claim the new version update package.

Xiong Kai, as a world architect, has relevant permissions, and can see the players' recharge, consumption records, activity, etc., although it has only been a short time since the server was launched, but some clues can be seen from the players' reactions.

To put it simply, if the new mech doesn't sell much on the first day it goes online, then there won't be many people buying it on the second day.

Xiong Kai looked at the data, the more he looked at it, the more cold he became, stared at the data for more than half an hour, and simply closed the page.

This data is disturbing!

However, Xiong Kai has not yet reached the time of despair, he can still comfort himself that the players are not getting up, the players are at work, and the players have no time to play games until noon......

It didn't take long for Zhou Zhen to arrive.

The first thing Zhou Zhen did after turning on the computer was to turn over the data, and after turning it over, his face was as ugly as Xiong Kai.

By noon, everyone else had arrived.

The atmosphere of the program team and the art team is relatively good, because for them, they have just finished a new version, and they can relax a little mentally.

But the atmosphere on the side of the design team is not good, because everyone can guess at the expressions of Zhou Zhen and Xiong Kai that the data after the new version is launched is not good!

And it's not an ordinary no, it's a special no!
