Other lessons to be learned?

Gu Fan thought for a while and said, "I think there may be some small flaws in the game design. If you can make a few changes to my gameplay, maybe I can ......"

However, Lilith quickly interrupted him: "What about other than these? ”

Obviously, Lilith still didn't trust him at all, so she didn't allow him to meddle in any design matters.

Gu Fan felt a little pity, if he could intervene in the game design, he could get more initiative.

But it was obvious that this kind of thing couldn't be done overnight, and it was very difficult to deceive a hell demon and gain enough trust from her, so Gu Fan was not in a hurry and chose to settle for the next best.

"Aside from the design aspect, I felt that there was something wrong with the pricing strategy of the game. Our next game, the price should go up! ”

Hearing this, Lilith couldn't help frowning: "Huh? ”

Gu Fan smelled a hint of danger.

Apparently, Lilith's suspicions have grown!

The reason why she developed such a charging strategy for "Hell Tracks" is because she doesn't care about whether she can make money at all, so she keeps the price as low as possible, hoping to trick more people in.

That's why there is such an outrageous setting as trying to play for two hours and then paying.

But Gu Fan actually said that the price of the game should be increased?

Obviously, this must be to earn more bonuses, and it is a manifestation of a ghost in the heart!

Although the atmosphere suddenly turned cold, Gu Fan didn't seem to be affected at all, and still said confidently: "The low cost of the game can attract players to a certain extent, but it will also lower their expectations for the game!"

"After many players played "Hell Track", they were supposed to have negative emotions, but after thinking about it, this game is only 18 yuan, so naturally they are not angry.

"If you want to trick people in as much as possible, the 'try now, pay later' strategy is sufficient, and you don't need to lower the price.

"On the contrary, the higher the price, the more favorable it is for players to have negative emotions!"

After saying this, the murderous aura around him quickly faded.

Lilith frowned in thought.

Sound...... Seems to make some sense?

This kid really gave advice from my point of view?

Gu Fan said: "Another point, I don't think the art resources of the next game need to be so good-looking, and the gameplay and mechanics don't need to be so complicated.

"These are all pluses!

"The better these things are, the less likely the player is to have negative emotions, right?"

Lilith was even more confused.

She frowned: "These words do sound very reasonable, but ...... Why are you saying this? ”

Gu Fan said solemnly: "As an employee, for the better development of the company, it is not a natural thing to make suggestions to the boss and solve problems?" ”

Lilith rolled her eyes: "You don't have a calf!" ”

Obviously, Lilith is not stupid, she knows that Gu Fan is just a migrant worker who is oppressed by herself.

If his plan can really succeed, then Gu Fan will have to work for himself in the black industry for the rest of his life and a hundred years after his death, and he will only have a salary of 8,000 yuan per month.

So why did Gu Fan give him advice?

Gu Fan coughed lightly twice and explained, "Okay, then I'll tell the truth."

"I think it's impossible to cancel this contract after it's signed, anyway, it's signed until a hundred years after death, and it will inevitably go to hell in the future.

"I'm helping you now, and I hope you can cover me up then."

Lilith's brow gradually relaxed: "Oh? Is that so? ”

It sounds quite reasonable, is this what is often said in the world, "those who know the times are handsome"?

Not bad, not bad.

As a cunning hell demon, Lilith certainly couldn't believe Gu Fan because of these two sentences, but in general, her impression of Gu Fan still improved a little, and she became more and more sure that the popularity of "Hell Track" before was just because of a bug, and it was a simple accident.

This pot should mainly be counted on Lecturer Ding's head.

"I'll consider your suggestion." Lilith said.

Gu Fan nodded: "Of course, it is up to you to decide how to do the game, I'm just a programmer, I will do what you say." ”

While showing loyalty, he also lightly discarded the relationship, anyway, when the game really went wrong, it was also your pot.

I'm just a harmless, hard-working programmer typing code every day.

"Okay, then I'll finish the design of the new game as soon as possible, and you can take advantage of the next two days to hurry up and determine the office space and recruit people."

Lilith finished and vanished in place.

Moments later, she reappeared, took the two packets of chips from the table, and grabbed a can of Coke from the refrigerator, disappearing again.

……

……

Four days later.

Monday.

Gu Fan left the rental house and hummed a little song to the company's interview location.

In the past four days, he was busy enough, first posted a job advertisement on the recruitment website, preliminarily screened resumes, and then found a suitable office location for Paradise Games.

And most importantly, of course, the game is paid!

As of last Sunday, the sales of the game "Hell Tracks" did reach 150,000 units, and Reverse Heaven Games received about 1.8 million shares from various game platforms.

It's just that only about 1.4 million dollars have arrived.

The account sharing process of some mini game platforms is more cumbersome, with one settlement per month and one settlement every three months.

Fortunately, the official platform and some large game platforms account for the majority of game sales, and their account sharing process is relatively fast, and the settlement is once a week.

Seeing a huge sum of 1.4 million lying on the company's account, Gu Fan felt that his mood instantly improved.

Of course, the 1.4 million can't be spent casually, and the specific distribution method, Lilith has already written very clearly in the contract.

70% of that, or about 1 million, will be used to fund the development and promotion of the next game.

5% of it, that is, 70,000, is Gu Fan's personal bonus.

Another 25%, or 350,000, can be used as the company's operating expenses.

Of course, this money is only earned in a week, and the follow-up funds will continue to be credited to the account.

The purpose of the first two is relatively fixed, and the only thing you need to think about how to spend it is only the 25% of the company's operating expenses.

This fund is applicable to a wide range of applications, from the company's daily operating expenses, such as paying rent, utility bills, etc., to various benefits for employees.

In other words, these expenses are mutually exclusive, and if you want to rent a better office space, then the employee has to pay less for the bonus benefits; On the other hand, if the employee gives a little more bonus benefits, there is no money to rent a good office space.

Therefore, after a short period of thought, Gu Fan quickly set the general principles for using these funds.

To put it simply, he wants to use this money to buy people's hearts for himself, not for "Heavenless Games Company"!

Soon, Gu Fan came to the location of the company, as well as today's interview location.

"Dream Chaser" café.

This is a café very close to Gu Fan's residence, located outside the Fifth Ring Road of the imperial capital.

The location of the café itself is not good, there is no large shopping mall nearby, only a very old community with a sense of age, that is, the community where Gu Fan rents, as well as a country park and an equally dilapidated office community.

Within a 15-minute drive of its vicinity, there are two universities, one is the famous Imperial Capital University, which ranks among the top 2 in China, and the other is the Imperial Capital University of Physical Education.

But it's also clear that students from these two universities can't travel this far just to get a cup of coffee.

As a result, the café's business status is quite worrisome.

Gu Fan came to the café and walked straight to the second floor.

The second floor looked very empty, and there was no one there.

Gu Fan came to the corner by the window, took out his laptop, and checked the resume delivered on it.

Although "Against Heaven" itself is a little-known game company, "Hell Tracks" is a successful money-making game after all, so it has received more than a dozen resumes in just four days.

This time, the recruitment position is "Test Team Leader", and only one person is recruited.

Gu Fan arranged these dozen people in teams of two within 8 hours of today's working hours to ensure that the interview could be completed and the candidates could be finalized in one day.

In fact, Gu Fan already had a hunch that just by seeing this interview location, there would be a lot of interviewers who would not let go of the pigeons, so the number of people he really wanted to interview today should be far less than ten.

But it doesn't matter, recruitment is the same as a blind date.

It doesn't matter how many times you fail, just one success is enough.

After waiting for a while, Gu Fan looked at the time, it was already half past nine.

This means that the two job seekers who were scheduled to come for the interview at nine o'clock released his pigeons.

Sure enough!

Gu Fan was not in a hurry, it happened that there was a café downstairs, he ordered a cup of coffee and drank it slowly.

Finally, just after 10 o'clock, the first interviewer came.
