At this moment, Zhou Yang raised his hand, and he asked weakly, "Mr. Li, I have a small question." ”

Lilith was in a good mood at this time, and nodded magnanimously: "You just ask!" ”

Zhou Yang said: "If you do MMORPG...... What about subsequent version updates? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly they thought, yes, what about the version update?

This is really asking about the death hole of the game against heaven!

All the games released by Reverse Heaven before, note that all the games, have not been updated at all!

Not to mention what an updated version is, not even a bug fix.

The main one is original, what the game looks like on the shelves, then what it will be like in the future. Subsequent modifications? That's absolutely impossible.

So much so that some players couldn't bear it anymore and started modding the game themselves.

If it weren't for these mods, the lifespan of some games would have ended much earlier.

But in the case of MMORPG, it should be absolutely impossible not to update the version, right?

Because this type of game is often all-encompassing and has complex mechanics, there will be many strange bugs and loopholes exploited by players.

If there are some serious bugs, such as studio gold, card bug boss killing, card bug battlefield and so on, it must be urgently repaired as soon as possible.

Even if the technical strength of Reverse Heaven is strong and there are no such serious bugs, it cannot but be updated.

The continuous loss of players will cause a series of chain reactions, making the gaming experience of other players worse, and thus also churning.

Once the game stops updating, it means that players will quickly lose fun and lose fun after experiencing the current content.

"But Mr. Li, if we have to insist on this, we won't be able to make MMORPG games at all!"

Wei Chengjie didn't seem to care about this: "Oh, it's not a big problem, right?" Previously, we didn't update the games, just because they didn't have to. Now I'm doing MMORPG, so it's okay to update it a little, right? ”

However, Lilith had a serious face: "That's not good, it definitely can't be updated!" ”

Wei Chengjie: "Huh? ”

Obviously, as an employee who later joined the game against heaven, Wei Chengjie still has a lack of thorough grasp of some of the deep rules inside the game against heaven.

Because MMORPG is a completely different game genre than a single-player game.

It's like taking the civil service exam for unemployed, everyone else can take the exam from the age of 22 to the age of 35, and only you, there is only one chance to take the exam. The probability of success is too low!

Lilith didn't care: "Oh, it doesn't matter.

Single-player games are worth the price of a player after a few hours of experience, and whether the number of people currently online in the game is more or less, it has no impact on the gaming experience of other players.

If this cycle continues, the number of active people in the game will avalanche, and it will soon become a ghost costume.

The game is not good in the first place, and it can't be updated later?

"We'll just release the game step by step, and whether or not players will churn or not will be a few months or even a year later, so we don't have to think too much about it."

He still couldn't figure out at all, and he couldn't accept why Reverse Heaven would put "the game can't be updated after release" in such an important position.

Wei Chengjie was confused, originally thought that the tens of millions of R&D investment was a high probability of loss, but now he found out that it was a 100% ironclad loss......

The main fun of this kind of game is the interaction between players, whether it is the in-game economic system or the high-end PVE team-based gameplay, which requires a large number of players to participate.

But MMORPG games are different, they want to make a profit, and they rely on long-term operations.

He looked at Zhou Yang, and saw that Zhou Yang's face was full of "you are really a pattern" expression.

Therefore, from Zhou Yang's point of view, the game genre of MMORPG is fundamentally incompatible with the anti-heaven game, and it can't be done!

Obviously, Lilith's solution is to bury her head in the sand and be an ostrich and pretend that the problem doesn't exist!

In fact, she did have a certain reason for doing so.

First of all, the MMORPG is big enough that even the current version of Disgaea is enough to keep players entertained for months.

After all, similar games have the setting of a team-based CD.,Each team-based can only be played once a week.,The equipment produced each time is limited.,And some scarce equipment has a very low explosion rate.,It will be scrambled by many people.。

So even if the players organize a fixed team to play every week like they go to work, it will still be a long time before everyone graduates.

What's more, there are new people joining in the future.

In this way, this game is enough for players to play for a year.

For Lilith, if these tens of millions of investments can successfully collect a year's negative emotions, it is enough, she actually doesn't care too much about the so-called long-term operation, which is quite a dangerous signal.

Because once the game doesn't collapse in the long run, it means that players have gathered too many positive emotions from the game, and the happier they keep playing, the more uncomfortable Lilith becomes.

Secondly, the decline in the gaming experience due to player churn is itself part of collecting negative emotions.

Everyone was completely speechless, and could only look at Gu Fan one after another.

That means: Mr. Gu, you take care of it! This second-hand investor is going to heaven!

Although the unjust money spent is all the company, the problem is that everyone's bonuses are directly linked to the subsequent game income. No one wants to be busy for months, and they can't get the last dime of the prize and are laughed at by the players and peers.

Gu Fan coughed lightly twice and spoke: "I think that Mr. Li's idea is okay, it can be regarded as a solution."

"When it comes to making games, the most important trade-off.

"The most important thing is to prioritize.

"As long as you can figure out what you want, you can firmly remove everything else.

"Since Li always thinks that 'the game will not be updated in the future' is more important, it is also correct to give up some other game experiences for this reason."

Lilith didn't expect Gu Fan to stand on her side so firmly, and she couldn't help but feel a little moved.

But Gu Fan obviously hadn't finished speaking.

"But what...... I think there's some room for manoeuvre.

"In fact, we can continue to bring new game experiences to players without violating the rule of 'no subsequent version updates of the game'."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Zhou Yang was stunned and said, "Huh? Mr. Gu, what should I do? Hit mods?

"But with a mod of this size, it's definitely impossible to count on enthusiasts.

"If we make it ourselves, wouldn't that be a fart by covering our ears and stealing the bell, taking off our pants and farting......"

Gu Fan shook his head slightly: "Of course it's not a mod."

"I mean, we could just open a new version every year. This new version will be developed on the basis of the previous version, for example, the previous player's maximum level was 60, while the new version player's maximum level is 70.

"Most of the original content will be retained, but we will also make some changes in combination with the features of the new version.

"The only difference is that this new version doesn't directly overwrite the old version, but ...... Released as another game.

"When players play this new version, or a new game, they can directly use their previous game accounts.

"But the content that players get in the new version can't be reverse-brought back to the old version."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Yes?

Is that okay?

Zhou Yang felt that his CPU was a little burned, he really didn't think that there would be such a way to deal with it before.

When you think about it, it seems to be really possible.

In this way, there is really no update or modification of the original game, but the new game follows the content of the old game!

And if I have to say, there are some benefits to doing so.

For example, the original version can be kept as it is, and players can go back at any time if they want to be nostalgic.

For example, if there are any special mechanics in the original game that conflict with the gameplay of the new version, they do not need to be modified and can be retained in their entirety.

Seem...... Is it really the best of both worlds?

Lilith looked down and thought for a moment, "Huh? And that works! ”

Obviously, Gu Fan's proposal really did not affect her collection of negative emotions.

If the original game remains the same, then the contract will remain the same, and the negative emotions that should be collected can still be collected.

Even this practice can have some positive effects on the collection of negative emotions.

Every time she opens a new version, she can do some more difficult tricks to torture the player, which may increase the player's suffering time and earn her more negative emotions.

"So...... Mr. Li, the theme of each version is up to you. Gu Fan proposed.

Lilith thought for a moment, "Good!

"Then let's make three versions first!

"The first version is a full level of 60, and the main enemy is the dragon, which is called the age of the dragon;

"The second version is the 70th level full level, and the main enemy is the demon, which is called the Demon Era;

"The third version is the 80th level full level, and the main enemy is the angel, which is called the Age of Angels!

"Let's tentatively do this, anyway, after these three versions are opened, this game will continue to operate for almost three years, which is enough!"
