Chapter 47: A game that only sold 1800 pieces of running water!

The reason why Kejin asks about unpopular games.

It's mainly due to a new feature unlocked after upgrading the system yesterday.

After upgrading the system to LV6, the interface also underwent a completely new change.

The column of krypton amount has been optimized by the system and included in the [Tasks] panel.

With the difficulty of different tasks, the amount of krypton is floating.

The upside of this is that new games don't follow the system's quota cap.

Otherwise, if an absolutely explosive game is drawn, no matter how you look at it, it will be hundreds of millions of flows, and the upper limit of the amount of krypton is only 2 million.

The player can really fill himself with his eyes closed, which will lead to the failure of the mission.

In addition, the unlocked new feature is called [Entry Selection]

Kejin glanced at the description of the new feature.

It probably means that when you open the game blind box in the future, you can enter keywords in advance.

After input, the game will inevitably be associated with keywords.

Such as.

Enter FPS, then the game will at least be related to shooting.

But whether it is a life-and-death shooter or a kidney-death shooter is unknown.

Currently, only one keyword can be entered, and the higher the system level, the higher the upper limit of the keywords allowed.

The more precise the scope lock for the game is.

This is a big optimization, so that the game is as much as possible under your control.

"The system actually debugs the optimal route for me every time, trying to get me to complete the ultimate task as much as possible...... It's really ......" Faced with such a thoughtful system, for fear that he would not be able to complete the task, Ke Jin was very moved.

This is not much better than other dog systems that 'give you a death countdown if you can't complete the mission'.

If it weren't for the system's inability to materialize, he would have to be two cups higher than the system.

Rub, big brother! Drink!

With the support of the system, Ke Jindun feels confident!

What if it failed four or five times.

Help me up, I can still operate!!

……

"If I have to say, there doesn't seem to be the ultimate unpopular type." Faced with the boss's strange question, after thinking for a while, Gou Chehua still replied seriously.

There aren't many types of games on Blue Star, it's an open secret...... No, it's not even a secret, it's recognized by the players.

Otherwise, in the past two years, there will be no players who have repeatedly complained that the game is not new.

It is precisely because there are not many types of games that players will try to try unpopular games.

Therefore, there is no absolute unpopularity, only relative unpopularity.

The most popular category at the moment is turn-based.

The second is the game of micro-decryption elements such as Lianliankan and Sokoban boxes.

Of course, it's not that the big hit games are just a series of watching and pushing boxes.

Some will incorporate Lianliankan into combat elements, and some will also make Sokoban a cool tour.

Then it is equipped with a card drawing mechanism, vertical painting, character design, marketing, etc., to form a perfect popular game.

It's just that the core is still inseparable from these micro-decryption games, so the industry will still habitually shout 'match-3' and 'puzzle-solving'

Further down, there are niche FPS games that are more hardcore and extremely unfriendly to non-Krypton.

But you have to say it's very unpopular.

Gou Chehua didn't think it could be called.

The rest is action games and horror games.

The combined proportion of the player audience of these two may be less than 5% of all players.

Horror games go without saying.

Blue Star's life is already stressful, who has nothing to do with finding a ghost, a demon or something like that?

Don't even look at it!

And action games, as far as Gou Chehua knows.

Originally, more than 30 years ago, action games were about to take off, and some light action games were also popular on the red and white planes at that time.

As the world's top game company [Blue Ocean Paradise], it made a lot of money in the field of red and white machines, and then switched to the computer and console industry, and was also ready to carry forward this genre in one go.

But then, for unknown reasons, this vein branch was broken.

After Gou Chehua became sensible, his eyes were already filled with gacha games led by 'turn-based'.

"If you put it bluntly, it may be action and horror...... Wait! Hiss!!! Gou Chehua suddenly thought of something, and clapped his hands violently: "Mr. Ke!" I've got it! ”

"Say." Ke Jin also paid attention.

"Drama game! The player base of this type of game is not even 1 in 10,000! It's so cold that I almost forget about this category, it's cold enough! ”

"Drama?" The first reaction in Ke Jin's mind was.

GAL?

Girl And Love Game。

Because there is almost a lot of text and illustration CG throughout the process, it is also called a text love game by players on the earth.

However, later, some designers found that if this kind of game adds squeezing elements, it can push players to the climax.

Imagine, as a player, after substituting the male protagonist in the game, facing a cute and gentle female protagonist, slowly meet her, through bits and pieces of details, and finally rub out the spark of love, and then the two hug and kiss under the fireworks in the sky, and the game ends here.

It's really cool, but it's unsatisfying.

But if after that, there is still content.

You can even play with this amazing heroine you like in various poses and angles.

The sense of impact that brings to players is not something that can be compared with a few twists during the roast chicken anchor show.

Therefore, the designers who have discovered the core cool points of such games have begun to slowly move further and further towards Serqin on the road to the subsequent production of GAL.

However, the problem that Ke Jin is more worried about is.

Is this kind of game really unpopular on Blue Star?

In terms of the current tolerance of the player base on Blue Star.

It belongs to 'poison, the whole family is finished, gambling, wife is separated, yellow, send me to see'

But soon, with Gou Chehua's explanation, Ke Jin learned that he would be wrong.

The plot class that Gou Chehua refers to,It refers to the kind of gameplay that doesn't have any special gameplay in the whole game.,It's basically a variety of plot-oriented content.,The background can be set up in any world view.,Cultivating immortals,Fantasy,Urban,Future technology, etc.,There is no subject matter limit.。

There are even some games that have no interaction, and the characters can only wander around the map to collect fragmented plots.

Players don't get any thrill of leveling up, nor do they have the coolness of mowing the grass, and they can't even find the meaning of playing.

If you want to recharge, you are at a loss, and you don't know which point can arouse your desire to consume.

Besides, everyone's pace of life is so fast now, and when you watch a movie, you can't wait to press and hold three times the speed to give the male protagonist a fatal rhythm buff.

You can throw a story-oriented game that lasts for several hours on your side, and you can't fast-forward and rewind like an anime or a movie, and freely choose the playback node.

Players will naturally have a hard time accepting it.

As a result, Blue Star players have never been too interested in games in this category.

It is precisely because of the lack of cold that this category began to stagnate more than ten years ago.

Without the injection of new blood, it is more difficult for this kind of game to make highlights, and the plot is sparse.

Such a vicious circle, so much so that it has completely become the most unpopular game category of Blue Star.

Not to mention the players.

The dog shook his head when he saw it and said that he couldn't play it at all.

"Mr. Ke, no matter how you think about this type of game, no player will be willing to pay, we should avoid ......" Gou Chehua didn't even finish the word 'open'.

Suddenly, I saw Mr. Ke's eyes bright, and he got up as if he was a little excited, slapped the table with one palm, and said the final word.

"Good! We're going to do the story in our next game! ”

"Huh?" Gou Chehua was stunned.

No......

Is it time for you to rebel......

You can't make money from this kind of game!

"Mr. Ke, I didn't mean to question your talent...... But the type that countless designers of Blue Star can't do, then it's really the wrong type, and the player is really not cold, and it has nothing to do with how to design...... As far as I can remember, the last story game seems to have sold for more than 1,800 yuan in total......"

Gou Chehua said that he almost didn't count the total sales of 'drama games' for Ke Jin over the years.

But Kejin's eyes are getting more and more focused! Stubborn.

"That's it!"

Maybe it's because I think this behavior is a little strange in the eyes of others.

After a pause, Ke Jin added: "I named the company Ready Player One, and that's what it means, we are not only the designers, but we are also the first players to be exposed to the new games that are designed. We should have more courage to actively challenge difficulties and climb the mountains, because the mountains are there! ”

Gou Chehua's words were full of blood and applause.

When I came back to my senses, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.

I was ready to persuade Mr. Ke, why did I applaud......

But there was no chance for him to make a move.

Kejin made the final decision and killed the game directly.

"You just arrange the staff, and I'll take care of the plan!"

"In a week's time, I'll give you a perfect plan."

In fact, Kejin only needs to go to the system to dig it out.

The reason why I say a week.

It's because it would be too strange if I made a project that exploded in detail overnight.

It's still safe, and it can also give the employees who have finished the last game a break and breathe.

……

After Gou Chehua left, Ke Jin sat on the boss's chair and shook gently, looking at the ceiling with his hands pillowed.

Although he held it for a long time, he couldn't help it and snickered.

'1 in 10,000 players. 'The last story-based game only sold for 1,800 yuan. The dog was disgusted when he saw it. ’

Either way, it's enough to end this fight quickly.

"This wave, the advantage is mine!"
