Chapter 173: I almost forgot about the mod
The magic tower is completely on fire!
And this time it wasn't just the game show that caught fire, but it also seemed to be burning outside the tournament convention center.
On the second day of the Shanghai Game Show, the number of visits to the official website skyrocketed threefold, and it was almost paralyzed.
Whether it is a fan of the night god or a pure passerby, after seeing the hot search entry, they all poured into the official website of the Shanghai Game Show with curiosity, and downloaded the small game that is less than 10MB, wanting to see what is toxic about this game.
And after trying it, players have said that although the art style of this game looks quite rough, even retro, but once you accept this setting, it is unexpectedly fun to play?
Whether it's the hardcore game style that can't be saved, or the difficulty of the game that is comparable to solving equations, those who have played it twice have clearly felt the unique "charm" of this game, which is even more unstoppable than 2048.
Regarding the sudden popularity of the dark horse of the "Magic Tower", it was not only Zhou Zhenyu who was so annoyed that he went crazy, but also Zhang Xiang, who was the first to light this fire.
To be honest, he Zhang Xiang has no enmity with this magic tower, and his lifelong enemy is only Yunmeng Games.
What really made him angry was the night of say!
This stinky little actually stole his stalk in front of him!
Obviously he came first!
Whether it is discovering this game from the vast sea of people, or being the first to "recommend" this game to the audience grandfathers in the live broadcast room!
However, just because Sun Weiye's Dogecoin was on a hot search, everyone now thinks that this game has become so popular because of the all-night live broadcast of the Night God, and they have completely forgotten his contribution to it.
Well, Zhang Xiang admitted that he did spray this game in the live broadcast room, but isn't reverse poisoned milk milk?
If he hadn't risked being hammered by black fans to start broadcasting, this little game that no one cared about wouldn't know where to squat!
Except for the angry Zhou Zhenyu and the number one black fan of a certain Yunmeng game, the coolest of them is probably Hao Yun.
Even because happiness came so suddenly, it made him feel a little unexpected.
After all, whether it is the skyrocketing number of downloads of the magic tower, or the sudden hot search of a certain big anchor, it is an unexpected thing for him.
Originally, in Hao Yun's plan, it would be good to have a thousand players experience the magic tower by the end of the third day of the game show, but he didn't expect that it would only be the second day, and it would evolve into a discussion on the whole network.
It's just that relatively speaking, it's hard to say whether such a large number of downloads is good or bad for a game that hasn't been released yet.
Because there is no dedicated demo version, players will basically download all the content of the game, and unless there is a new content update in the future, it is difficult to say whether players will pay for the games they have already played.
In particular, it's a small game.
In addition to the troubles in his heart, Hao Yun called Lin Jun to hear this guy's bad idea.
However, what I didn't expect was that after listening to his description, this guy didn't feel a little worried about himself, but jumped up from the chair excitedly.
"Boss! What a good thing! ”
Stunned by this sentence, Hao Yun hesitated.
“…… What a good thing. ”
"How much money you can make by selling games! Didn't you even notice? Even if it's a game like 2048, which is popular all over the world, the total income you get from it is less than five million. But the flow of water in the Condor for a month is already six times that number! On the contrary, the mobile version of the rice group buyout is now half the sky, and the advertising fee is soft. Lin Jun said bitterly.
"It seems that you say so," Hao Yun nodded thoughtfully, touched his chin and continued, "But how does the Magic Tower develop an online mode?" This thing is a DRPG. ”
Do you cooperate to fight monsters?
I always feel that if this is changed, the magic tower will become nondescript.
Lin Jun smiled and said: "Although I don't understand what DRPG is, let's analyze this problem with the thinking of the Internet, and you will find that this problem is actually very simple, it is a simple traffic monetization problem!" ”
What's the difference between this and.
Hao Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes, held his phone and continued.
"Do you have any good monetization methods?"
"Be a community!"
Hearing this answer, Hao Yun was slightly stunned.
"Social ...... Community? ”
"That's right!" Lin Jun continued excitedly, "We can build an open sharing community around the game Magic Tower, and provide players with space to share strategy progress, game progress, and fanworks!" ”
The moment he heard this idea, Hao Yun's eyes suddenly brightened.
Especially when he heard the word "fanwork", a strange and familiar concept suddenly popped out of his mind.
Module!
That is, mod!
Why did you forget this thing!
In Hao Yun's vague memory, the mainstream game platforms in the previous life seem to be inherently compatible with the function of "creative sharing", allowing players to make changes to the content of the game according to their own needs, and even update the game map for the official.
However, the e-fun platform in this world does not seem to have this function, and it is just a simple store.
Lin Jun's words woke him up.
If you just sell the game, with the capacity of the magic tower of less than 10MB, it can be sold for five yuan at the top, even if a million people finally choose to come back to make up for the ticket, it will be sold for about five million at most.
What can five million do?
It sounds like a lot, but it's barely enough to cover a month's expenses on his pig farm.
In this way, he really doesn't have the need to sell games on the Dianqu platform.
Just when Hao Yun was planning how to design this "community" function, Lin Jun on the other end of the phone was also talking about his investment philosophy.
“…… In the Internet era, mastering traffic is equivalent to mastering everything! ”
"Being able to gather so many game lovers in one community, whether we are directly monetizing traffic and cutting leeks, or putting a long line to catch big fish, or even simply packaging products and selling them together, it is better to make money than selling games!"
"If it weren't for the fact that I'm busy with the 'Modern Bike' side now, I would have wanted to run the project myself." With a hint of unfinished meaning in his tone, Lin Jun said with emotion.
Hearing the words modern bicycle, Hao Yun suddenly remembered the task given to him by the system, so he asked casually.
"Speaking of which, how's your situation going over there?"
Lin Jun said confidently.
"Everything is in plan!"
Hao Yun coughed lightly and said.
“…… I mean, you've run out of money. ”
"How could it be so fast!" Lin Jun smiled confidently and continued in a reassuring tone, "Don't worry, boss, although the speed of burning money will be a bit fast according to the new plan I am implementing now, it is not entirely our own money that is burned, and it is no problem to persist until the end of the year or even January next year!" ”
Hao Yun actually wanted to say very much, even if it was okay to start with our own money first, but listening to Lin Jun's confident tone, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
As for how to lose 20 million, presumably Mr. Wolong, he already knows in his heart, and it is better not to disrupt his plan.
I hope he can bring himself a big surprise when the financial statements come out next month!
After hanging up the phone, Hao Yun, who walked to the hotel window, set his eyes on the convention and exhibition center just one street away from the window, and the long queue, and couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
Today is the second day of the game show.
And tomorrow, that is, the third day of the Shanghai Game Show, the selection of the Golden Keyboard Contest will officially kick off. Whether we can qualify for the finals or not, we will find out tonight!
"Lin Jun's side should be stable."
"Now it's up to Li Zongzheng's performance."
It is still a little difficult to defeat a quasi-3A-level masterpiece like "Dragon King" by relying on a small game like "Magic Tower", but Li Zongzheng's "Immortal Cultivation Simulator" is not without the power of a battle.
At least according to Li Zongzheng himself, there are still many players who give five-star praise on the spot.
Thinking of this, Hao Yun's heart was also surging, and he was looking forward to tomorrow's game more and more.
No matter whether you win or lose in the end, you will definitely not let yourself down in this wonderful game!
