Chapter 283 Li Xia's Game Planning Case

At the headquarters meeting of Xiami Interactive Entertainment, dozens of people sat in the conference room of Nuoda, some of these people were senior executives of the headquarters, and some were the heads of various branches. Diaphragm

Today is the day of the annual planning meeting of Xiami Mutual Entertainment, and many people rushed over from other places like Ye Qingxue.

At 8:50, Li Xia and Han Lingmeng walked into the conference room.

After the two of them sat down, Li Xia looked at Qin Lan and asked, "Everyone is here, right?" ”

Qin Lan nodded and replied, "It's all here." ”

"Let's get started."

Qin Lan cleared her throat, opened the microphone and said:

"Let's start the company's 2023 annual work plan meeting, and first announce last year's operation and profitability." Diaphragm

"The company was ······ last year"

Qin Lan introduced in detail the operation and main achievements of Xiami Interactive Entertainment Media in 2022.

Xia Keke, chief financial officer, introduced the company's profitability last year.

This is followed by a summary of the work of each department and branch for the past year.

Li Xia listened to the reports of various departments and branches, and carefully wrote and drew in his notebook.

After the heads of various departments and branches finished their speeches, Li Xia put down the pen in his hand and made a summary speech on the company's development last year.

After summarizing last year's work, Li Xia began to introduce several people by name. Diaphragm

"Tang Xiaojie and Zhu Tiexiong, well-known special effects bloggers in China, are now the heads of the newly established special effects company, and the film and television special effects and special effects planning of the future company will be completed by the newly established special effects company."

"Jiang Cheng, graduated from Mizuki University, is a well-known game engineer in China, responsible for the research and development of the company's newly acquired game company."

"Ning Hao graduated from Harvard Business School, a well-known professional manager at home and abroad, after Lin Feng, vice president of Kaicheng Media, left Kaicheng Media, Ning Hao was responsible for all the work of Kaicheng Media."

"Shuyang ......"

"Shu Tong ......"

“……”

After a brief introduction to the new personnel who joined the company, Li Xia made relevant adjustments to the company's personnel appointments. Diaphragm

After Li Xia finished his speech, Han Lingmeng talked about the work plan for the new year.

Han Lingmeng's speech ended, and the morning basically passed.

At noon, Li Xia arranged for the driver to send Han Lingmeng back to the villa, and he called Lin Feng and Jiang Cheng to eat together.

The three of them talked while eating.

Li Xia first told Jiang Cheng the game settings and rules of "Sheep is a Sheep" and "Happy Elimination".

There are no match-3 games in this world, Jiang Cheng listened to Li Xia's introduction and was very interested.

He thinks that this kind of casual puzzle game is very suitable for people such as office workers and student parties. Diaphragm

Of course, he also raised the question in his heart, how to make money in such a casual puzzle game?

Do you sell items in the game?

Li Xia listened to his question and replied with a smile:

"We are a conscientious enterprise, don't always think about the wool of the players, isn't it good to get the wool of the capitalists?"

"We can completely implant ads in the game, and players can exchange any props they need by watching ads, and we can earn advertising fees."

"It's a really good idea to watch an ad in exchange for an item."

That's naturally a good idea. Diaphragm

Li Xia remembered that in his previous life, the author of "A Sheep" bought two houses in full the day after the work became popular.

"We spent nearly 100 million to acquire a game company, can we just make these two casual puzzle games?"

Lin Feng took the initiative to choose to be in charge of the newly acquired game company, just to show his skills in the game circle.

Such two small casual puzzle games obviously did not meet his appetite.

"These two are just appetizers, this one is the main event!" Li Xia said as he took out a game planner from his bag and handed it to the two of them.

"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds?"

PUBG is a tactical competitive shooter sandbox game. Diaphragm

In this game, players need to collect various resources on the game map and fight other players in ever-shrinking safe areas to survive until the end.

There are multiple maps to choose from, and players can parachute to various corners of the map, find weapons, vehicles, and supplies with their bare hands, and fight in a variety of terrains.

To win, strategy is just as important as marksmanship.

During the game, a blue circle will expel the player to a smaller area for a firefight.

This blue circle is commonly known as the "electric ring" or "poison circle" - the name "poison circle" comes from the shrunken chlorine poison circle in the same game H1Z1, which is a certain electric field released by some kind of electric emitter.

Each game of the game will randomly switch safe zones, and the weapons and items obtained in each area will appear randomly.

In the game, each map has different characteristics. Diaphragm

Due to the mechanics of the game, the safe zone and the bombing zone are random and cannot be interfered with by humans.

Each game will be played in a different direction from the island, and players can freely choose where to jump.

Choosing where to skydive is one of the game's highlights, players can choose to land on a resource-rich military base and fight their way through the bloody rain, or in a sparsely populated and resource-poor wild area, where every scene on the map is modeled very realistically, such as small towns, residential areas, military bases and bomb shelters.

The game is very replayable, mainly because of the extreme variety of settings.

There are no chicken-eating games in this world, so Li Xia is ready to develop this popular game in his previous life.

If it weren't for Penguin developing "Glory of Heroes", Li Xia would definitely translate "Glory of Kings" as soon as possible.

"PUBG is a game that can be made in both PC and mobile formats." Diaphragm

The profit model is also very simple, you can earn "advertising fees" through linkage activities, and you can recharge and buy a series of attractive items such as permanent costumes and gun skins. ”

"Imagine what kind of experience it is for you to hold a golden AK in the game, a driver's version of a Lamborghini?"

"Will you be the prettiest boy in the game?"

Listening to Li Xia's eloquent explanation, Lin Feng and Jiang Cheng had completely brought themselves into the game.

"This game is so novel, I think it will definitely be a hit after it is made!"

As an excellent professional manager, Jiang Cheng has smelled money in this game.

"Mr. Li, if you have any good game ideas, just say it, I think our company can save money on game planning!" Diaphragm

Don't even invite the game planner?

How can this be better than me?

"You can adapt the basic martial arts I wrote into a game, it's a big IP, we still have the copyright, if you do it well, players and readers will definitely buy it, after all, everyone has a dream."

"To be specific? What about how to play the game? Jiang Cheng asked tentatively.

"I don't know, you guys do your own research, you don't really want to hire a game planner, do you?"

"Uh...... If you don't, you're going to have to pay for it. Lin Feng didn't plan to let Li Xia plan for him, if he counted on the boss for everything, it would seem that he was too incompetent.

"Make those two small games first, and then make big games, eat bite by bite, and walk step by step!" Diaphragm

The boss said so, and Lin Feng and Jiang Cheng didn't want to say anything more.

Now that there are at least three game plans, it's not too late to make small games first, and then make big games after making money.
