Chapter 3: Genius Thoughts

In China in 2011, MOBA games began to become popular, and various MOBA games emerged in an endless stream.

To count the popularity, it is the "Canyon Battle" launched by "Penguin Technology" and the "Legend of Heroes" launched by "Black Pig Technology".

Of course, when it comes to games, mobile games are also quite popular.

As the pressure increases, few people can sit in front of the computer and play computer games all the time, and the improvement of mobile phone performance has also made it possible to play games in fragmentation.

As a result, at this time in 2011, although the rapid development of mobile games has only just begun, its market share is already on par with that of computer games.

Looking at the various computer game and mobile game templates in the "Trading Mall", Xue Kui quickly analyzed the current game market environment in his mind.

At present, mobile games have developed relatively maturely, with games of various types of gameplay, and with the development of mobile phones, more bells and whistles games have appeared on this platform.

However, the basic amount required to make a mobile game is high, and 50,000 yuan may not even be able to make a game, so Xue Kui temporarily ruled out this option.

Computer games have been around for a long time compared to mobile games, and not only that, but all kinds of outdated computer game templates and materials needed to make games can be easily found in ELSP at a very cheap price!

Not only that, but the world's mobile games began to rise gradually around 2009, and in the three years to 2011, the scale of mobile games developed was not comparable to that of computer games.

In other words, computer games are now a big ocean, and mobile games are still in the expanding lake!

Make an unpopular computer game and throw it into the ocean, and you basically won't make any waves!

This is the only way to achieve the goal of losing money!

Having made up his mind, he began to figure out how to make a game fail.

The success of a game is inseparable from the elements of good graphics, good story background, brilliant music and sound effects, memorable special effects, and a large audience.

And for a game to crash, you have to avoid these elements!

The picture quality can be as bad as it gets!

If the music sound effect is more yin, it will be more yin!

Action special effects have to be scummy, scum!

The game category should be as niche as it is!

One more important factor is to make something that doesn't make people feel new!

To put it mildly, repeat a game that has already been made badly!

With no new gameplay and anti-human graphics and sound effects, such a game is perfect!

After carefully summarizing these necessary elements, Xue Kui began to look for the answer in his heart in the 'trading mall'.

The Marketplace is filled with a variety of game templates.

There are shooting, racing, puzzle, sports, decryption and many other products.

After simply registering an account on ELSP, Xue Kui found that he already had his 'No Return Technology Co., Ltd.' under his name.

"The black technology of the system is simply everywhere!"

After layers of screening, Xue Kui chose a basic game template in the sports category - balance beam.

To put it bluntly, it's about controlling a villain to move on a balance beam, and this template is usually embedded in some action games, when the protagonist goes through a dangerous situation that needs to be balanced in order to get through.

It's also one of the most basic sports game templates.

"The game template of "Walking on the Balance Beam", priced at 25,000, contains a fixed form of athlete and a balance beam with editable length, width and height."

"It's good to be simple enough, this kind of featureless thing is just right!"

Then looking down, Xue Kui saw the scene layout options.

In addition to the basic controllable elements, a game also needs to be set up and musical.

These are all must-haves, and without these basic elements, ELSP would judge this game as a half-finished product and not be available for sale.

Xue Kui clicked on the drop-down menu, looking for a scene that met the requirements.

"Gymnasium, gym, playground. (Pay 20,000 to unlock more scenes). ”

"So much money to unlock the scene? That's great! ”

Xue Kui didn't think about it, he clicked 'Pay' directly, and then saw that the drop-down menu became longer.

"Battlefields at war, subways full of guests, mass graves at night, ruins of kingdoms..."

Good guys, so rich?!

However, these scenes are a little special...

I wanted to spend money to unlock some less special scenes, so that I could not only achieve the purpose of spending money, but also achieve the characteristics that were not too noticeable.

But after clicking on it, Xue Kui had a trace of regret in his heart.

He couldn't figure out why such a very ordinary, very basic game had such a strange scene setting.

He subconsciously wanted to choose the 'gymnasium' scene, but in the next second, a warning sound from the system came to his mind.

[Warning: It is found that the host has wasted system funds, this choice is invalid, please use the system funds reasonably for the good development of the company!] 】

Sure enough, no!

What you paid for, you have to take away!

Calm down! Calm down!

No one will find out about such an unpopular sports game!

Xue Kui could only comfort himself like this, and when he thought about it, he was actually worried about himself.

Who would play this kind of game in a normal person?!

After repeatedly mentally suggesting to himself, Xue Kui's hanging heart let go, and then from the many scenes unlocked, he chose the background of 'Mass Grave at Night'.

Anyway, I'm ready to match the yin music, so let's just choose one that fits the atmosphere!

Once you've chosen your scenario, the next step is to design the gameplay for the game.

Sports games are also competitive games, and there are usually various indicators to judge and score, and the balance beam itself is also a template for other large-scale sports games, which is indispensable for the design of various sports forms.

Xue Kui took a look at the sports forms currently on sale and found that the cheapest one cost 15,000.

After suffering a loss, he didn't dare to continue to pay, not that he didn't want to spend the money, he was really afraid that there would be some special actions to attract the attention of players!

"Except for the music sound effects purchased later, everything else will be sent by the system!"

Having made up his mind, he added the basic gameplay 'Balance Beam' from the publisher of Balance Beam to his shopping cart.

"Then there's the music."

"50 tracks library music, 3000. (Click to find library music). ”

Xue Kui wants to choose yin music, but most of these music resources sold on the ELSP website are normal-oriented music, and if you want yin, you can't do it.

In desperation, Xue Kui had to choose some niche music genres among unpopular music, such as erhu, opera and other forms of music to add to the shopping cart.

"There's 2,000 left to spent, that's not going to work."

Xue Kui set his sights on the 'Competition Leaderboard' function, which was worth just 2,000.

That's it, add to cart!

After clicking 'Pay 50,000', Xue Kui glanced at the system funds that had become 0 with satisfaction.

The money has been spent, the next thing is to assemble the game, then publish it with a less obtrusive name, and wait for the loss of money!

Drag the Balance Beam template into the Lab's game editor, and then drag the 'Mass Grave at Night' scene into it, and a basic game interface is formed!

Load the purchased music on the background and a basic game is successfully assembled!

Xue Kui sat in front of the computer, put on the headphones, listened to the opera sound coming out of the headphones, stared at the scene in front of the screen, and couldn't help but shudder.

In the dark night of dark clouds, patches of grave bags were scattered over the wilderness, and among the many grave bags, a lone balance beam stood there, on which stood an athlete with his arms open and his front and back feet...

In this scenario, what do players experience?

Xue Kui, who took off his headphones, fell into deep thought again.

Walking the balance beam?

Sorry, this game doesn't have this feature!

A game that costs 50,000 still counts on it so much?

What's the fun with this?

Is it just to control the athlete to walk on the balance beam?

That's a good idea too...

Xue Kui's eyes gradually lit up.

That's right, just walk on the balance beam!

The simpler, the more boring, the better!
