Chapter 5: Game Designers of Conscience?
The people of Kejin are numb.
It was just a few minutes away from zero.
He was ready to get up and go to the fridge to pick up a bottle of champagne and come out to celebrate.
What is a great victory?
What is a system trader?
On the first day of getting the system, you can directly complete the ultimate task issued by the system, and go to the peak of your life from then on!
As a result, the SMS pop-up window suddenly popped up, just like XX, launched! The white light emitted from the time stung Ke Jin's eyes.
The text message interface with black letters on a white background is impressively displayedββ
[Agricultural Bank of China: Your tail number is 6789 card number in ...... Received the transfer at 23:56, and the transfer amount was 500.00 yuan.
A thousand!
Why did someone really charge a thousand dollars into the game, just to buy a half-hour accelerator card?
No, what game do you charge with this money?
You take it to buy a gift for your girlfriend, and your girlfriend will give you a sweet kiss.
You take it to dinner with your brothers, and your brothers will call you father-in-law.
If you charge the game, the game company will only scold you for being stupid!
"Rub! This is the money that the little king and eight calves charged me???? β
"You, damn it!!"
"I really want to be ...... I wish you a long life. After thinking about it, Ke Jin still endured the foul language that came to his mouth.
Anyway, this guy really supported him for a wave.
Those who don't know are not guilty, and people certainly don't do it on purpose to disgust themselves.
I have to thank him.
"Alas, creation makes people." Kejin quickly calmed down.
People, always look forward.
The task was given at least three days.
The first day didn't work, and there was the second and third days.
Tomorrow is another day full of hope.
"Sleep!" The big quilt was overheaded, and the young Ke Jin lay down.
In the dream, he held the ultimate gift package issued by the system, and he couldn't close his mouth like a fool.

Zhang Heng is a full-time puff master in the Thunderbolt game area.
In the early years, he relied on the production of various game evaluation/trial/spit programs, and gained millions of equivalent fans.
It's just that the recent harvest has been sluggish.
The field of short videos has sprung up, and people who are too stressed in their lives prefer to watch videos that can highlight the core theme in a dozen seconds.
In the style of long-form side-scrolling videos like his, the click-through rate is declining day by day.
Look at the number of views that have been getting worse recently.
Zhang Heng, who was eating this bowl of rice, hurriedly pulled his hair one by one.
So much so that at three o'clock in the morning, his wife and children fell asleep, but he couldn't sleep.
The various burdens of car loans and housing loans forced him to get up and habitually browse information on major game platforms to try to find some new tricks in them.
There are actually a lot of new games on the shelves every day, but in recent years, the game industry has been too ruthless, resulting in more and more homogeneous game content.
For example, Zhang Heng's "Hundred Warriors", which he just clicked on now, is a popular new work of WWgame that month.
As an in-app purchase game, its average daily turnover has exceeded 50,000 yuan, which is a relatively good rookie data.
The gameplay is turn-based cards.
However, Zhang Heng gave up after experiencing it.
Although the game company has put a lot of effort into the cards in addition to vertical painting and dubbing, it has made a lot of powerful cards to make the gameplay more interesting.
But these cards require krypton gold to buy.
Zhang Heng roughly calculated, the powerful new card of UP in the latest period will be at least about 20,000 krypton before it can be put into the bag.
The effect of this card is that it gives your faction an extra turn to play each turn.
For this kind of 'my turn, or my turn' powerful attribute, it will naturally be favored by Kryptonite.
Playing games is just for fun, and the stronger your attributes, the more Kryptonite will naturally like it.
If you can get this card, you will have the material for the next video.
But Zhang Heng really can't afford it, the average number of views of a video is less than four or five hundred thousand, and the income may only be one or two thousand yuan.
Krypton is a card that is really full.
Give up decisively.
I flipped through the leaderboard again.
Other games are similar, nothing more than changing skins and skins, focusing on kryptonite content, nothing new.
"Alas, the current game companies, can't they live without krypton content one by one?"
"I can't find a game if I want to find it normally, and this environment is too foul."
Zhang Henggang, who was extremely disappointed, was about to turn off the phone and go to sleep.
Suddenly, in an inconspicuous corner of the WWgame platform, he saw a game recommended by the [Editor's Recommendation] column.
On the Origin of Species
The recommended slogan is: Discover the mystery of life, it all starts here!
This kind of general rookie maker has little financial resources so it is difficult to notice the lowest recommended position to buy.
"Look at this game and go back to sleep." Thinking of his car loan and housing loan, even Zhang Heng, who was already sleepy, gritted his teeth and planned to evaluate another one.
At the beginning of the period, Zhang Heng did not have much hope.
The total size of this game is less than 200M, and naturally there is no exquisite content.
And in these 200M, a gorgeous kryptonite interface will be installed to attract players, leaving less space for the game.
"Try it for two minutes.,If it doesn't work, delete it.,Anyway, it's an in-app purchase game.,I don't charge money and don't lose.γ Zhang Heng muttered and opened the interface of the game he had just downloaded.
Bored to start clicking to try the game.
After playing for five minutes.
Zhang Heng's eyes changed slightly.
Ten minutes later.
His expression also began to grow strange.
Half an hour later, he finally let go of the hand that was operating the mouse.
If this was a comic, then Zhang Heng would definitely be full of question marks now.
"Huh?"
In this game, there is nothing beautiful about the characters standing up.
The stickers you can see are the simplest of the kind, and even millions of illustrations can be found on the Internet.
There is also no voice acting.
After all, no one has the ability to dub DNA, nuclei, spores, and the like.
There's no disgusting mechanic that makes you unable to play without recharging.
After experiencing this half-hour experience, Zhang Heng, who had completely zero krypton, did not have any sense of blockage.
Even, the recharge interface that will pop up in a few minutes in other games, and all kinds of tempting discount numbers are not available in this game.
Its mall button is arranged in the most inconspicuous corners, as if it doesn't want to be discovered by players.
Its gameplay isn't particularly new, though.
But it's inexplicably on top.
Keep upgrading, keep unlocking new things, and keep charging towards higher realms.
As soon as the player is about to get tired, it immediately unlocks a newer layer of interface, waiting for the player to explore further.
It doesn't have any big impact points, no flashy pictures, no moving sounds, and even the background music is monotonous and short, and it can be done by two or three instruments.
But it's just countless scattered piles of Xiaoshuang, which is enough to make players addicted to fall!
In today's market environment, it's more difficult to find a game without heavy krypton content than to find a big man who doesn't skip watching movies.
The appearance of this game is like a clear stream, slowly flowing into Zhang Heng's heart slowly and silently.
"This game...... It seems to be able to fire? Zhang Heng's first reaction was this.
As a video creator, Zhang Heng also has his own fan base of players.
Not only him, but also many fans in the fan base have also said that they are really tired of playing the heavy krypton games on the market now.
Playing to the back is all about krypton and krypton, as long as you don't have krypton, you won't be able to experience a little happiness.
It shows that everyone is desperate for some change.
"This game is a great place to start!" Zhang Heng was a little excited, and even his sleepiness was swept away.
"But then again, if there's no paid content, what does the game live on?"
In today's exploding Internet development, information itself is an expensive synopsis.
Take the recommendation of WWgame's leftovers as an example, according to Zhang Heng, it takes at least four or five thousand yuan to buy one.
In terms of cost recovery, paid content needs to keep up with the platform on the shelves 55 shares, if it is a user of the IOS port, even another 50% of the channel fee will be removed, and a group of employees in the company will be raised, holiday allowances, venue rent, and water and electricity bills. If it is a cooperative company, it is necessary to share the money with the shareholders.
If you calculate carefully, the heavy krypton project may not necessarily make much money, not to mention that this kind of zero krypton can also experience a happy game.
What does it do?
With doubtful thoughts, Zhang Heng clicked on the mall interface of "Origin of Species".
Just one eye.
All of a sudden, Zhang Heng looked stupid.
Good news, this game is indeed different from other heavy krypton games, it can only be up to 1000 krypton, which can be regarded as a conscience.
The bad news, this game only has 1000 krypton gold slots......
The worse news is.
The 1000 levels of krypton content in this game are a lump of shit......
Other heavy krypton games, anyway, are the right version.
If you charge 1,000 yuan, he will give you virtual props worth 1,000 or even 1,200.
This game......
"Half-hour accelerator card?" Zhang Heng wanted to laugh.
"Why is a designer who can make this kind of game so stupid on a paid project?"
"It doesn't make sense."
"Could it be ......" Suddenly, Zhang Heng's expression was stunned.
As if thinking of some possibility, he sorted out the whole logic from the beginning.
First of all, you can rule out the possibility that the designer is stupid, because the game is really good.
Secondly, assuming that he is a profiteer, he should understand the principle of cyclic progression, and the recharge interface will inevitably be good and induce players to step by step.
Instead of being like this, a wave of recharges without any cost performance at all directly dissuades players who have the intention to pay.
Well, only one conclusion can be drawn.
"This is a poor designer, and developing this game has consumed all his savings, as evidenced by the recommendation position he bought at the lowest grade. And he encountered some difficulties in reality, so he had to use this extreme recharge method, hoping to quickly return to his capital. β
But the conscience and the last stubbornness in his bones did not allow him to make too much inducement of consumption, so in the end, he learned from the pain and left only a small krypton gold stall, rich players don't care about this little money, and players without money won't go to krypton...... Hiss...... He actually thought about it so much? β
"Fortunately, I met a more delicate player like me, but anyone with a coarse nerve can't understand his intentions......"
After sighing with emotion, Zhang Heng felt that he couldn't let this few conscientious creators return disappointed.
Whoever holds a salary for the people, do not let him freeze to death in the wind and snow.
What's more, he is challenging the entire heavy krypton game market!
So, Zhang Heng immediately opened his fan base and found a night owl group management that was still online late at night.
Straight to the point.
"Brother Wang, I have a very potential game maker here, the game is really good, and you can play it without charging money."
"Can you play without recharging? Hmph, so how do I play? As soon as the other party spoke, he revealed an arrogant richness.
"Hehe, these are not critical, the key is that there seems to be something wrong with the funding of this newcomer, why don't you look at sponsoring him, if such a conscientious designer dies, it would be a pity." While speaking, Zhang Heng pushed the download interface of "Origin of Species" over.
A few minutes later, the other end replied with only a short and neat word.
"Yes."
