Chapter 204: Can You Give Me a Hint?
After Lu Haocheng and Gu Fan roughly finalized the design plan of this miniature handle steering wheel, they immediately returned, ready to find a designer to design details and produce samples.
I thought it was just an ordinary little toy, but now Lu Haocheng realizes that it can be regarded as a core accessory of the "Explorer" series handle!
If it is really successful, it may be able to drive sales of the "Explorer" series of controllers.
So what if it fails?
It doesn't matter, after all, there have been a lot of particularly failed accessories in the "Explorer" series before, such as the steering wheel knob.
When the time comes, it will be regarded as a whole life, and it is not necessarily a bad thing.
However, there is one thing worth paying attention to, that is, Mr. Gu has always insisted on calling this plan "your plan", and even a bit like dissociating from the relationship.
This made Lu Haocheng a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Gu, this is obviously your design! I don't want to take credit from you.
"I even think that when I release this product, I should add your name. It's called ...... "Commemorative Peripherals Personally Designed by Gu Fan, President and Chief Designer of Reverse Heaven Games"! I think it's going to sell well! ”
Gu Fan hurriedly shook his head: "Of course not!"
"We have always sought truth from facts when we do things against heaven, and we don't engage in such bells and whistles.
"What's more, I just provided the idea, but don't you have to do the specific implementation? In the cultural and creative industries, the idea is not important, but the people who make it happen.
"So, Mr. Lu, you don't have to be modest, if this product fails, it can only be said that there is a problem with the idea, if the product succeeds, it means that you have achieved it well."
Lu Haocheng couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Oh, how can you be embarrassed?" Then thank you Mr. Gu! ”
Obviously, Gu Fan's words mean the same thing, if there is a pot, then Gu Fan will carry it himself, if there is merit? Then it's all given to Lu Hao.
Within the company Zhitong Handle, Lu Haocheng of course has to count on some good projects and performance to be promoted.
If this collaboration can be a big success, he will certainly have a lot of benefits.
Whether this product was designed by him or not will also directly affect the size of the credit.
Of course, in Lu Haocheng's view, Gu Fan is the president of Reverse Heaven Games, and the company is his, and it is normal for him to look down on this little credit for designing products.
But this kind of generosity still touched Lu Haocheng.
After all, there are many bosses who are calculating in reality, and there are few who are truly generous.
Gu Fan smiled in his heart, what kind of generosity, this is just the most basic desire to survive.
The two had a great conversation and quickly decided on the design plan for this miniature steering wheel.
As for what it is specifically called and how it will be announced in the future, that will be a matter for later. The current top priority is to produce the product first, play with it, try it, and make some improvements in the follow-up, so as to make a hit!
……
Back in the hotel room, Gu Fan lay on the bed and stretched.
Since Lilith transferred him from the game department, Gu Fan has been happy to be idle, and his work intensity has plummeted, and he can have more time to rest every day.
Just don't know how Road Rage Simulator is going right now.
Gu Fan opened the live broadcast platform on his laptop, wanting to see what games the anchors were broadcasting live recently.
But then, his expression was a little surprised, and his mouse also stopped on an exclusive event page on the live broadcast platform.
"Ascension" National Speed Running Competition!
Gu Fan was a little surprised, but he wasn't too shocked at first, he thought it was an activity of the Totoro live broadcast platform itself.
But after a closer look, I found that this event was actually organized by Antiheaven Games and the live broadcast platform! The prizes are all provided by the game against heaven, and My Neighbor Totoro Live has given some traffic support.
Gu Fan's CPU almost burned, and he didn't understand what was going on.
Is it Zhou Yang or Su Tong's idea?
But this kind of thing must have to be done with Lilith's nod, right?
Taking a closer look at the rules of the speedrun competition, Gu Fan understood.
This speedrun competition is completely different from the previous speedruns of "Sisyphus" and "Hell Bad Devil", and the focus is on the word "all"!
The race is divided into many different tracks, not only the difference between evil and non-evil, but even within the game, it is also divided into many different stages.
Depending on the progress of the game, each speedrun process is roughly divided into more than three speedrun stages.
The original speedrun process of about 30 minutes is divided into three stages, and it is only 10 minutes.
This is obviously much less difficult for the average player.
Moreover, players do not need to run for 10 minutes to be rewarded, and the official requirement is that as long as they can run for about 13 minutes in each stage, they can get the reward.
Of course, due to the different processes, it is impossible to accurately get stuck to 10 minutes in the time of each stage, so the specific standards will fluctuate somewhat. But in general, the time required for the average player to meet the standard is basically about 50% higher than the theoretical best time for professional speedrunners.
The reward of this speedrun competition is basically to highlight a focus on participation, as long as you can meet any of the tracks, you can get a 10 yuan discount coupon for any game against heaven; If you can reach the three tracks, you can get a small gift of about 30 yuan; If you meet the standard of more than five tracks, then the next game of Reverse Heaven is free of charge!
If you can complete the speedrun of the whole game process and meet the minimum standard, you can also get an additional reward: 198 red envelopes!
These rewards may not seem like much, but the point is that it is not a limit to the number of winners like a ranking reward, but a reward of a passing nature, as long as it passes, it will be given!
If it is more extreme, if all players of the game can speed through the whole process of "Ascension" and meet the minimum time standard given by the official, then the official will really send 198 to all players!
This reward is quite tempting for the average player!
Compared with the generous passing rewards, the ranking rewards are quite shabby, and can even be said to be dispensable.
Only the first, second and third places in each track will be rewarded with 298, 198 and 98 red envelopes respectively.
It stands to reason that in general speedrunning activities, even if the prize money is low in the first few faces, there must always be about 1000, and the prize money of the first place is often much higher than that of the second place, and it is even normal to give some peripherals or hardware that are thousands of dollars larger as prizes.
After all, in a speedrunning competition, if you want to win the first place, you have to put in much more effort than everyone else.
But it has to be said that this brand new speedrunning event has indeed generated a lot of heat and attention.
The popularity of Ascension has already begun to decline, and while it is true that many players are studying the game's speedrun, and they are enjoying it, it is still a carnival for niche players.
Ordinary players go through the week and play a perfect ending, and basically put it down.
But now, since there are no new games to replace in the short term, and this speedrunning competition has real money rewards, players are idle and idle, so take this opportunity to learn how to play speedrunning.
As long as you complete a 10-minute speedrun on one of the small tracks, you can earn yourself a cup of milk tea money, and you are idle anyway, so why not try it?
The popularity and attention of the competition itself have increased, attracting more players to join.
They may not care about the rewards, but they do care about the heat and traffic that the competition brings.
In this way, the momentum of this speedrun competition at the beginning turned out to be even bigger than the previous speedrun of "Sisyphus" and even "Hell Bad Devil"!
At this time, Gu Fan looked at this speedrunning competition, and his mood was also a little nervous.
He didn't expect that someone would bring a pillow when he was sleepy......
He had already used all the positive emotions given by Shamir, mainly to improve the positive emotions that players gained during the speedrun.
If you look at the recent situation alone, the situation is still a bit confusing. Although there is a high probability that you can return to your capital, you may not be able to make a lot of money.
But now, all of a sudden, there is a national speedrun......
Gu Fan could only say that he felt that there was someone in the dark who was helping him.
Did Shamil make a move? Or is it someone in the company?
It couldn't have been Lilith who came up with this brilliant idea with a pat on the head, right?
It's just puzzling.
However, Gu Fan didn't delve into this, if he was too curious, it might arouse Lilith's suspicions. He just didn't know anything, he just did his job seriously.
……
……
More than two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Friday, May 30, 5 p.m.
Gu Fan was not in the hotel today, but returned to the villa. After all, tomorrow is the weekend, and if you don't have a job, you naturally don't need to "go on a business trip" and you can have a good rest.
During the day today, Lu Haocheng had already taken a sample of the miniature handle steering wheel accessories that had been improved twice, Gu Fan had a brief experience, and this time he didn't find any problems, and he was almost ready to start mass production.
Of course, it is said that it is mass-produced, but in fact, it is only a few hundred pieces at most.
This is still won by looking at the fact that the company is rich and reputable.
After all, this accessory looks quite unreliable, and the Zhitong handle doesn't dare to produce too much, in case of backlogging, it will be troublesome, like this kind of whole-life product, discounts and price reductions may not be sold.
The decoration of the experience store has also been roughly completed, Gu Fan has been staring at the progress, and the current decoration effect is also relatively satisfactory, fully realizing the idea in his original plan.
As for "Road Rage Simulator", according to the calculation of time, the game's ontology should be almost completed, but it will have to go through rigorous testing in the future.
Gu Fan was sitting on the sofa, struggling with what takeout to eat today, when the doorbell rang.
When I opened the door, it turned out to be Zhou Yang.
"Mr. Gu, I heard that you are back, I hurried over to take a look."
The expression on Zhou Yang's face was very entangled: "Road Rage Simulator has been largely developed, but ...... Mr. Gu, I still haven't figured out what kind of bugs will occur in this game! Can you ...... Tips? ”
