Chapter 245: You Profiteer!
The 102 entrepreneurship group meeting officially began with the arrival of the personnel.
Unlike other groups, this group Zhou Yan personally planned and designed.
Because it was a start-up project that had not yet taken shape, the plan was put on hold until it was thoroughly discussed.
Now Zhou Yan also found time to deal with this more important matter.
Mobile games are no less important than the promotion of smartphones.
In this era when Nokia is still popular and smartphones are not fully on the rise, just ask a passer-by what games are on your phone.
The most answered question is probably Tetris.
This very old but never replaced, game, was developed very early, but it was positioned as a computer game on IBM, and it was not until Kraft, an engineer from Denmark, ported the game to a mobile phone called Cetelco, that Tetris quickly became popular on all major models of mobile phones.
At first, it was a game that was sold at a marked price, but when it entered the domestic market, Tetris has lost the meaning of selling, so it has become a built-in machine.
And Tetris has the same influence,There is also Snake,The game that originally existed as an arcade machine has received strong feedback after being installed on the mobile phone,At the moment when smartphones have not yet been popularized,Snake and Tetris and even Sudoku,It can be said that domestic mobile phone users love the gameγ
After the millennium, mobile phones have entered the Java era, completely getting rid of the inherent impression of call devices, and beginning to enter people's field of vision in a more diverse way, from this era, you can use mobile phones to listen to songs, watch videos, and play games.
More and more offline games developed based on Java are being released, and stand-alone mobile games such as "Demon Slayer", "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and "Need for Speed" have begun to keep pace with the old version of the mini game.
And 2010 is a node of a new era.
Smartphones are all the rage, and online mobile games are gradually entering the public eye.
"Fruit Ninja" and "Angry Birds", these games broke the user's inherent impression of mobile games, and with the entry of Apple mobile phones into the domestic market, games such as these are also rapidly becoming popular in China.
In the following decade, earth-shaking changes have taken place, firmly occupying the majority of the game market.
Therefore, Zhou Yan attaches great importance to mobile games, and attaches great importance to them.
Otherwise, it would not exist as an independent entrepreneurial project.
And his development of mobile games obviously has his own ideas in it.
"The platform code framework can be written by someone in our studio, but we have to finalize the content first."
Zhou Yan took a blank piece of paper, and while writing, he said: "We not only want to act as an agent for mobile games, but also provide users with an opportunity to develop mobile games, this name can be called Creative Workshop, we provide materials, tools, and resource packages for the development of mobile games, and users use our resources to develop mobile games, and then upload them to our platform for sharing." β
"It's ecology on the one hand, and agency on the side..."
Zhou Yan said to Xing Xuan, who was listening: "Senior Brother Zhang Long has developed a game of jumping and jerking off on WeChat, this simple game can actually be operated as an agent with a slight modification, we don't need to consider the domestic market, the foreign market is the focus, like this kind of small game, it can be launched on the iOS side, and we earn agency fees." β
Xing Xuan was also taking notes, she nodded: "Senior, you just mentioned the creative workshop, but the resources we develop mobile games are actually very lacking, I feel that the focus can be on the agent first, looking for more high-quality game agency operations such as Jump, as for development, is it possible to focus on the development of our own mobile games first, give users a sample, and let them operate by themselves after they have experience." β
Zhou Yan nodded and said approvingly: "I understand it very well, but not only that, we can acquire some mobile game workshops in the form of acquisitions and let them settle on our platform, of course, we don't have to bother to find it, and then consider the matter of the workshop when we make the first pot of gold through the agency game." β
"And if you want to do a good job, art planning and publicity are the top priority, so you don't come here to fish porridge." Zhou Yan joked with a smile.
Lin Congee nodded her little head, she hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Brother, can we let Sister Xin'er come along?" β
Obviously, he is also from the studio's publicity group, and Lin Congee hopes that Hu Xin'er can also join in.
Zhou Yan heard Lin Congee Porridge say this, and Hu Xin'er swimming pool suddenly came out of his mind.. The picture is too beautiful.
If this tiger girl really comes here, Zhou Yanzhen may not be able to withstand it.
He touched his chin and said: "Hu Xin'er's words, I will let her take care of the affairs of the propaganda group now, I can't pull away, porridge porridge, if you are a little struggling alone, you can go to the studio to recruit some ministries and commissions later." β
"Uh-huh."
Qin Pujia was also listening to it at this time, she felt a little bored, it was quite boring to make money or something, after all, she already had endless money, and she was uncomfortable if she didn't speak, and now she couldn't talk about discussing things, but she was a little uncomfortable.
"Don't sit idle here, pour us some water." Zhou Yan looked at Qin Pujia who was in a daze with his chin at this time, and commanded.
Qin Pujia was stunned: "Why should I go?" β
"You're the most idle here, hurry up." Zhou Yan urged.
Seeing Zhou Yan calling a little girl, Xing Xuan couldn't help but laugh.
"I'll go, I'll go."
Qin Pujia snorted lightly, stood up and went to get the cup.
In order to be able to play happily with porridge, it is not impossible to compromise temporarily.
After opening the small oil bottle, Zhou Yan also felt a lot of inspiration, and thought of a lot of popular mobile phone games in later generations.
For example, 2048.
This is used as a weapon to make the first pot of gold in the rebirth of later generations, how could Zhou Yan not pay attention to it.
Although in terms of the current volume, it is indeed a bit petty to make money in this small game.
But what is entrepreneurship.
Starting a business is starting from scratch, and it's not bad to use this game to make a reputation.
There are also games like Don't Step on the White Block, My Name is MT, and when you just graduate from college, it can really be said that it is unprecedentedly hot.
Cards, levels, parkour, adventures, puzzle games, Zhou Yan can find examples of explosions, and now, all of them can be used here.
He doesn't mind making a small cheat, so that fans in the early stage of the business can accumulate very difficult platform software, and under the guidance of these popular games, the difficulty is greatly reduced.
Xing Xuan was also writing and drawing on a blank piece of paper at this time, and Zhou Yan found that her thinking was extremely clear, and she quickly drew something similar to the data flow diagram of software development, and completely transferred the content of the communication just now to the paper from several angles of architecture, content, and ecology.
And Xing Xuan also considered the crux of the problem at this time.
"Senior, now we can cooperate with the agent, on the one hand, it is an online casual game platform on the web side, and on the other hand, we are chasing waves of our own small games, do we need to consider the terminal game?"
Zhou Yan nodded: "It can be said that every terminal game can be developed into a mobile game, but this is obviously not as easy as a web game to a mobile game, the terminal game is something we can consider in the future, maybe we can also use the terminal game we developed ourselves to promote it through this platform, now we need to accumulate a fan base, and ensure the quantity under the premise of quality." β
Games like lol, dota, etc., even if other studios develop mobile games by themselves, it takes a lot of effort, there is no need to muddy the water, with this time Zhou Yan might as well lead the research and development after the mobile game agency platform has a small scale, which can not only save time and effort, but also bypass copyright to a certain extent, just like Penguin did later.
Xing Xuan also understood what Zhou Yan meant at this time, she nodded and said: "Then on the one hand, we will cooperate with the mini game platform, and on the other hand, we will develop our own mobile games, but senior, should we recruit more people?" β
Xing Xuan blinked her eyes, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Xiaoxuan, you are in charge, although it is for the entrepreneurship competition, but I also said at the time that if the funds are not enough, you can continue to approve, as long as you can do a good job of the platform, it is a necessary choice to spend some money to find a professional, after all, we are not just for the entrepreneurship competition." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"Does the senior mean that this agency platform is doing well, does it hope to reach the height of our home app?" Xing Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"It's not to achieve, but far exceeding, now the mobile game market can be said to be a blank, as long as we are willing to invest energy, money and time, the future of this agency platform can definitely develop to the point of far beyond the home app."
"The reason why the home app is currently profitable is because it occupies the market of college students, but mobile games are a relatively broad concept, children play, adults also play, and the groups involved are not comparable to the home app, which is why I value it so much." Zhou Yan said.
γ
"Great!"
Xing Xuan and Lin Congee were both listening and thinking, and this voice was obviously not made by the two of them.
But seeing Qin Pujia standing next to her with tea, she put down the tea and said excitedly, "Can you take me one!" β
Zhou Yan couldn't help but not hit Qin Pujia, he said directly: "What can you do?" β
"I..." Qin Pujia wanted to say that she could do anything, but it seemed that the things she knew didn't really match the conversation with the surname Zhou.
She was silent.
"Pujia can work with me." Lin Congee said softly.
"yes, draw." Qin Pujia immediately said, "I can help Congee Porridge paint." β
"It's kind of useful to you."
Zhou Yan didn't continue to make fun of Qin Pujia, in fact, this girl didn't know how precious she was.
When did he want to buy stocks, Zhou Yan felt that he could ask Qin Pujia to help take a look.
Well, can't be exposed.
Now seeing that Xiao Congee can get along well with Qin Pujia, Zhou Yan is also pleased.
Xing Xuan also smiled and joked at this time: "Pu Jia can come together, I am in charge of this place, and the seniors can't control you." β
Qin Pujia immediately nodded her little head, indicating that she had listened.
Zhou Yan saw Qin Pujia's smug look, and he was also a little speechless, did this girl forget her original identity.
How do you feel guilty for fooling an ignorant girl?
Zhou Yan didn't care about Qin Pujia anymore, and said to Xing Xuan: "It just so happens that I also have a few ideas, I don't interfere in the affairs of the studio, Xiaoxuan, you can handle it, you can take these ideas." β
Xing Xuan's eyes lit up, she knew that Zhou Yan was going to take out dry goods: "Senior, you say." β
Zhou Yan smiled and said very simply and clearly: "There is a number combination game, such as 2 plus 2 into 4, 4 plus 4 into 8, 8 plus 8 into 16, so superimposed, 1024 plus 1024 into 2048...."
Zhou Yan said as he used a pen to make a gesture, there are several figures similar to nine-square grids on the sketch, these figures have numbers such as 2, 4, etc., and the next number is generated after the two numbers collide, and then the cycle repeats itself to synthesize 2048 as the final result.
Xing Xuan thought for a while, "Senior, this game looks simple, but it seems to be difficult to get started, just moving the combination of two identical values, if you can't effectively combine them and occupy the position, it is estimated that it will be difficult to synthesize 2048 in the end, which is very challenging." β
"That's right, it's just a simple move of two number squares, but if you really want to get started, you will find it very difficult, suitable for novices, but it's not easy to challenge successfully."
Zhou Yan explained with a smile, "What I mean is that we can follow this idea and reproduce a series of games that are simple to start with, or even brainless, but difficult to clear. β
"Xiaoxuan, you can give an example." Zhou Yan said.
Xing Xuan thought for a while: "Actually, this is similar to matching, so can I not only limit myself to numbers, but also combine blocks of different colors, eliminate them when moving blocks into an array of more than three blocks, and finally eliminate all the blocks as the goal, and the random combination of blocks of different colors will also increase the challenge of this game." β
βbingoγβ Zhou Yan smiled and exaggerated: "Very good, Xiaoxuan, you have mastered the essence of a type of small game." β
"Isn't this just a trick into the pit?" Qin Pujia pouted: "When the time comes, there will be some paid props or something, a common routine of profiteers." β
Zhou Yan's face darkened, and this little Taoist aunt was clearly suspected of scolding Huai.
"Senior, do we also have to consider paid props for our future profits?"
Xing Xuan obviously also discovered this profit point, and couldn't help but ask.
Now it is popular to use props to deduct phone bills on the market, so she wonders if Zhou Yan wants to do the same.
Zhou Yan shook his head: "We don't go through the payment model, we can completely replace it with the form of watching advertisements and getting props." β
"Let's take the advertising money."
Xing Xuan said with a smile, she didn't expect Zhou Yan to directly give a perfect replacement plan.
"More profiteers." Qin Pujia suddenly understood in seconds and expressed contempt for Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan ignored the personal attack on him by this little girl surnamed Qin, he said with a smile, "Games with too obvious payment intentions obviously will not echo the psychological expectations of players, although we can do brainless games, but don't really treat users as fools, make a fuss about being greedy and cheap, and you can also get into the set in a different form." β
