Ye Shenxi told Li Zhi his thoughts first, and Li Zhi was dumbfounded when he heard it.

"Young man, your idea is dangerous." Li Zhi said.

Ye Shenxi's expected reflection.

"Tell me." Ye Shenxi said.

"Are you a commercial game or an indie game?" Li Zhi asked.

"It should be independent in terms of game content, and it should be considered business in terms of business model."

"You're going to sell this for money? How much do you sell? ”

"The price? Inexistent. ”

"Free!?"

"That's right."

"Built-in consumption?"

"It's free."

"That's a business!" Li Zhi has a violent temper.

"If someone plays, even if someone knows it, there will be business. Business refers to the entire platform, not the project. ”

"You ...... Where like someone will play. ”

"So dissatisfied?"

"Since you asked, I'll just talk about it, and you can listen to it casually."

"You say."

"I don't know much about this game, but I thought about it anyway because of what you just told me. There are two positive feedbacks. ”

"Hmm." Ye Shenxi didn't interject, and listened attentively.

"The first is the fun of collecting props in the ruins. This will be a more addictive point. ”

"It's just picking up trash." Ye Shenxi added.

"It's okay if you want to say that, depending on your specific design, the accumulation of low-quality items can be useful, and it is possible to pick up high-quality items, if there is randomness at the beginning of each round, this process may attract players."

"That's what I thought, too, because the flood is about to erupt, and I can't help myself by picking up garbage, and that's probably it."

"The second point is crafting and building, taking the collected items through a logical combination to create useful equipment, increase the chance of survival, or strengthen the character. Like you said, it's more logical to use rotating wheels, copper wires, rubber, and porcelain to make generators, but are you sure that many players know that porcelain can be used as generators? ”

"I can see that I use 'electric ceramic piece' in the name of my prop."

"Okay, the generator is made, and the light bulb you picked up can be lit with wires, right?"

"Yes."

"Then I don't have to burn things for lighting at night, I think it's good."

"Okay."

"But." Li Zhi suddenly turned around and frowned: "There are also two negative feedbacks, and they are very serious. ”

"Go on."

"First, the cost of learning is too high, how do players combine and match these considerable props, and how do players combine and match them, and how do players learn is a big problem because of the number of props you have."

Ye Shenxi nodded and said: "You're right, if you want to improve the explorability of the game, increasing the amount of data and random mode is definitely a must, so you must do a good job of combining and matching logic, as well as the naming of props like the electric ceramic pieces just mentioned, as well as the listing and display of the props required for production and the instructions for obtaining them." ”

"Compared to making an incendiary bomb, what materials do you need for your first reaction now?"

Li Zhi began to gesture his fingers: "Wine bottles, distilled spirits, fabrics." ”

"Yes, that's it, it's set up in the game, even if some things don't have logic from a real-world perspective."

"And then you need a lighter or torch to use it?"

"Of course."

"Okay, you can."

"The second negative feedback should be about frustration, right?" Ye Shenxi asked with a smile.

"You know it yourself!" Li Zhi was angry: "Tell me yourself, you have so much content to try, players are likely to spend a lot of time on the wrong attempts at the beginning, such as some basic functions to ensure food and clothing, players found bread contaminated by radiation, but they haven't had time to learn more advanced ones?" ”

"I didn't think of the name, you can call it Radiant Ning for the time being."

"Okay, players still have no way to make a more efficient radiant Ning, in order to fill their stomachs, they have to eat, and their spirits drop after eating, so they hang up directly."

"There are too many places in your game that can make players hang up, being bitten to death by wild dogs, being tortured to death by the night without light, and you also said that you may be killed by falling objects from tall buildings, this frustration is too strong."

"It's okay in the early stage, the game has just started, what if it's been a little longer, if I've already built high-level equipment, and the various workshops in my home have worked hard to collect materials to make it, and suddenly the flood hits and is directly destroyed, what do you make me think?"

"You're still a game that players will definitely hang up, all kinds of natural disasters and fires, what's next? Endless night, you think you are three-body! ”

"The death penalty is so big, it's all starting from scratch, you're having fun!"

Ye Shenxi didn't speak, just nodded.

The more Li Zhi spoke, the more angry he became, he still restrained himself, and said: "The first two experiences are the reasons why players play this game. The latter two are the reasons why players leave the game. ”

"You've been playing for so many years, don't you know that players always expect to gain more than they give? It's not good to get what you gain, and your gain is far less than what you pay, what should players do, and lose it directly. There are some things you design later, players may not experience at all! ”

"Finished?"

Li Zhi was angry and nodded sullenly.

"Li Zhi, to change your mind, what do you think if I remove this last bit of design and let the game have an ending that can be cleared, or make it one level at a time, and the difficulty of each level gradually increases, and players also unlock more advanced characters or equipment?"

"Sounds good, huh?"

"Then set the price at 39 yuan, how much do you think it can be sold?"

"100,000 copies? It's difficult, there are too few domestic audiences who like this kind of game. ”

"It's free, how many people will download it to play?"

"I don't know ......"

"Let me put it bluntly, the meaning of this game is to let more people into our game platform and start to understand and be familiar with the digital distribution of stand-alone games through the platform. What I need is transmissibility. ”

"Have you played the Men's series before? It's a series with a lot of super difficulty. It highlights a word from the name of the game to the difficulty of the gameplay, which is what I want to apply to this game. ”

"You can even understand that the core gameplay of this game is the leaderboard on the platform's community network, which is what it means to attract them to try new records over and over again just to outperform other players."

"And the word abuse, in addition to the players, also brings to the media."

"I'm also a celebrity, right, will the media of the game I do not pay attention? This word is at the heart of their hype up of this game. ”

"Of course I know it's a niche game, and I don't think there will be a lot of players who will play it and stay. Most people will churn for the two reasons you mentioned, but they will come and play. ”

"Because of the current national conditions, most players are not playing games, but heat."
