Chapter 58: Ark of Tomorrow, Activated!
Gou Chehua was thinking about whether to resign at first.
This company is good, but the problem is too special conscience......
My conscience is so stressful that I, who is a planner, and when I think of what optimization items can make money, and then look at Mr. Ke's clear eyes, I feel like I'm committing a crime......
Staying in this company for half a year belongs to the merit of the next life......
But fortunately, after Ke Jin explained a few words, Gou Chehua dispelled the idea of resigning.
The concept of monthly card proposed by Mr. Ke is not a free and unlimited card draw for the month after opening a membership.
Instead, when players open a monthly card, they can receive a certain percentage of the game's special tokens by checking in every day.
This token can be converted into a gacha resource to use.
It not only satisfies the needs of daily activity, but also allows players who do not have so much spare money to draw cards to experience the excitement brought by card drawing.
Talented!
"Has no other vendor ever launched a campaign like this before?" Ke Jin asked curiously.
Gou Chehua shook his head: "The average price of 50 yuan a draw, the gold content of the card is too high, if you launch a monthly card like what you said, then there will be a very serious problem, greatly reducing the willingness of players to kryptonite." Almost eighty or ninety percent of players are afraid that they will open a monthly card and wait to slowly accumulate resources, this kind of uneconomical thing, how can those vampire manufacturers do it. ”
There was still a bit of disdain in his words, and Gou Chehua was obviously dissatisfied with the current pricing of large manufacturers.
But he is just a small planner, unable to change this phenomenon, and when it is time to set such a price, he still has to pinch his nose and follow the example of other manufacturers.
After some deliberation.
Kejin finally finalized the price.
The benchmark price of 30 yuan for the monthly card remains unchanged.
If you sign in for a month, you can get 20 extra stamina.
The recharge piece completely canceled the double first charge, and then under the strong suggestion of Gou Chehua, it was uniformly changed to 10 yuan a draw, 100 yuan 10 even.
Not to mention this price in Blue Star, even on the earth, it is a dimensionality reduction blow, which can greatly arouse the player's desire to consume.
In terms of guarantees.
At present, most of the guarantee mechanism on Blue Star belongs to the level of about 3 thousandths.
Probably, 1000 draws can make three golds.
In addition, 100 small guarantees, 200 large guarantees are currently more common ways, some extreme large factories 200 small guarantees 400 big guarantees, or directly there is no guarantee or a minority, not in the scope of consideration of Kejin.
But even with the 100/200 guarantee mechanism, Ke Jin feels outrageous after carefully calculating this income.
If you want to get a limited character stably, you must prepare at least 10,000 yuan for card drawing......
How dare these forced factories......
But think about it, too.
Do Blue Star players have a choice?
Apparently not.
If I had lived in such an environment since I was a child, I guess I would have been numb.
Just thinking about it makes me feel scared...... Fortunately, the gaming environment on Earth is much more tolerant.
Although the system has temporarily relaxed the restrictions on this hidden mission, for Kejin, the bottom line of being a man still has to be.
While not ruining the game experience of porridge, stand and make money!
Kejin made a slight upward adjustment.
The inherent three-thousandths single draw guarantee on the Blue Star has been raised to three percent.
Then, before the 30 draw, there is a 3% probability of withdrawal for each draw.
After 30 draws, every time there is no withdrawal, the probability of a single draw will increase by 3%, and it will be added cumulatively.
Until 100% withdrawal is made.
After careful calculation, it must be withdrawn when it is the 63rd draw.
As for the crooked guarantee, Ke Jin directly chose to cancel, and the maximum 63 draws for each limited role must be drawn.
The existence of this thing has no meaning, it is purely to disgust the player and cut the player's leeks more.
And let the players who are not crooked have a feeling of 'I made a lot of money', and will have more good feelings about the game.
Players' favorability of a game does not come from excellent game production, interesting gameplay, and profound game plot, but just because the card drawing is not crooked.
And, calm down and think about it.
Most of the time in this world, it is one hand to pay and one hand to deliver, I pay the money, you give me the goods that I am satisfied with, and the two sides complete the transaction.
But under the crooked guarantee mechanism that many factories like to use, it becomes - I take out a certain amount of money first, but whether you give me what I want or not, you don't give it, I have nothing to say, you give, and I will even become happy because I got 'what I should have taken'.
Isn't that a kind of sadness.
It can be said that the emergence of the crooked guarantee mechanism has brought out the player's Stockholm syndrome.
If the player has never seen the sun, a candle in the darkness will be believed to be light.
When I saw that a series of pricing plans for Kejin were finalized.
To be honest, Gou Chehua was a little scared.
Mr. Ke, you said let's play like this...... Will your peers give our company a blow when you look back......
If the new order wants to challenge the old order, conflict is inevitable.
Fortunately, the legal order of Blue Star should be more perfect, and there is no need to worry about any vulgar incidents of offline real PK.
Everyone is in charge of their mothers, spitting on each other on the Internet, and it is almost enough to ask the water army to fight a war of words.
After all aspects were almost perfected, Ke Jin was relieved to hand over to Gou Chehua, who was fully responsible for the research and development of "Tomorrow's Ark".
And the dead line of the shelf is given, which must be completed within two months after the project is established.
Even if it's on the last day.
Anyway, the judging criteria on the side of the system just say that the game will be on the shelves within two months, but the subsequent flow will not be affected.
Gou Chehua heard this and thought for a while.
Must be on the shelves within two months?
It feels like the progress will be a little rushed.
After thinking about it, he suddenly realized and asked, "Mr. Ke, do you mean, is our "Ark of Tomorrow" preparing to participate in the ice and snow game festival in two months?" ”
Ke Jin was stunned.
Attending the Ice & Snow Game Festival?
What is the Ice & Snow Game Festival...... I'm preaching.
I'm just stuck in the dead line of the card system.
"Yes." Ke Jin nodded.
More is better than less, just participate.
————
"Ark of Tomorrow" is in full swing under development.
Kejin has not been idle for a while recently, and when he has time, he will help the production team develop some progress.
and fine-tuning some of the ideas that weren't so satisfying.
Looking at Jinhai Entertainment next door, as well as several other B-level companies that have temporarily formed alliances, they are also quietly launching new products.
The design concept of the game is almost impossible to hide.
Companies are always moving around in one way or another, and companies can only guarantee that the data of the games they design will not be leaked.
But for other people's generalized statements, this is unavoidable.
This is an open secret in the industry.
To put it bluntly, Yu Xiao has mastered the type of game that the number one player is currently developing.
"Tower defense?" Yu Xiao touched his chin thoughtfully.
According to what he heard from his staff.
The new game launched by Ready Player One this time is a brand new genre that has never been seen on Blue Star before.
He couldn't get the specific core data and detailed gameplay.
But after listening to the game analyst of his own game, he summarized it.
He could probably guess what type it was.
It's nothing more than one person charging forward, and the other person is guarding to the death.
It's still dead.
You just say that positional warfare is not over?
Kejin, you stinky boy knows how to set up people.
The rest of us are to set up a character for the company, and you even have to set up a game-type character, right?
The craziest episode of Li!
"Then our game can also be copied...... Improve in this direction. Yu Xiao called the game director from home, pulled a piece of paper casually, and began to write and draw on it.
"Director Lin, my understanding of tower defense is like this. First of all, let's let our character, let's say this person be the main character. As he spoke, Yu Xiao drew an abstract stickman on the left side of the paper.
"Let the protagonist guard here, give him a weapon, or other mess, anyway, his task is to hold the battle line behind him."
"Then, at this time, the enemy rushed with weapons on their shoulders." As he spoke, Yu Xiao casually scribbled a few more strokes on the right side of the paper.
Director Lin's eyes widened and he listened intently.
"Then, our protagonist attacks first. Biu sent a laser out at once. ”
"After the attack, this enemy may or may not be defended, none of this matters, in short, it is the enemy's turn next."
Director Lin: "......"
Mr. Yu ...... What you're saying seems to be ...... Turn-based, huh? ”
"Is this turn-based?" Yu Xiao was stunned, then picked up his abstract painting and took a closer look: "There is defense on the left, and there is attack on the right...... There is still a dead line behind it...... Isn't this tower defense? I've sent someone to find out, and that's what Player One is doing. ”
"But...... What you're talking about is still abiding by the core attack method of one turn per person. Director Lin wiped his sweat.
"You mean to have both sides attack at the same time?" Yu Xiao frowned, thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, this is too messy, do you think this is an action game?" ”
"Besides, if the enemy numbers come up, won't the fight be chaotic? Who should our characters attack first? And which of our characters should the enemy attack on the other side first? No matter how you look at it, only the turn-based system can meet the above needs, and you know who to fight in each round and what skills to use. ”
"At that moment, why should the designer call it tower defense, not just call it turn-based......" Director Lin was puzzled.
"No, your kid is a little dense today." Yu Xiao looked at Director Lin unhappily: "Then tell me, what is tower defense?" ”
"This ......," Director Lin scratched his head.
Hiss......
It's so itchy, it's going to grow a brain.
Although I always feel like what Yu always says is a turn-based system, I really can't think of how the form of tower defense should be presented for a while.
"Mr. Yu, this is tower defense!" In desperation, Director Lin could only answer.
In fact, Yu Xiao also knew that his understanding might not be right.
But then again.
Instead of being harsh on yourself, you should belittle others.
Kejin's kid always wants to push the envelope.
Where are there so many types that can be made for him, if he can really do it, wouldn't our Bluestar designers have already made it?
It's nothing more than being put on the ground here, and now everyone is waiting for him to come up with something new.
So it's not impossible for him to sew a little bit and come up with a new name.
"But none of this matters, anyway, our new game this time, all we are running for is to fight a price war with him and drag him down! Let him taste the bitter fruit of easy disruption. ”
"In terms of genre, as long as the shape is similar, the main play is still on the pricing side." Yu Xiao habitually crossed his fingers again, squinted and smiled: "Didn't he get a one-yuan purchase before?" In order to avoid him playing the one-yuan purchase routine this time, let's go straight to the bottom and not give him any respite! ”
"We'll buy it for one dollar too! And then cooperate with the vigorous publicity! ”
"Strive to bring down his company in one go!"
Director Lin thought for a moment and asked, "Then wouldn't our ranking in this ice and snow festival be very backward?" ”
Yu Xiao waved his hand disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter, it wins the first place every year, and what attracts the attention of all players is the new work of the top SSS-level company." We are classified into B~A divisions, and the traffic itself is not large. ”
It doesn't matter whether there is the traffic blessing of the ice and snow festival or not.
There is no such company as the number one player, which is very important.
……
It's not just Gimhae Entertainment.
More than a dozen companies that participated in the last symposium seem to have really made up their minds this time.
You have to give the number one player, the industry disruptor, a little color.
Every new game launched by the company is basically pressed to the lowest price in this area.
New games will naturally lose money, but that's not without worry.
The important thing is that under their collective price reduction, the number one player in the same region can't make money, and that's enough.
Otherwise, if he is allowed to continue to develop, the money he will lose in the future will be much higher than if he were to catch a new game now.
It's in everyone's minds.
Time flies, and two months fly by in the blink of an eye.
At the beginning of the cold and snow, everyone gradually changed into winter clothes.
From the time the number one player set up the project to the final completion of the internal test, he was three days away from the two-month dead line given by Kejin.
In the past three days, Kejin emptied the company's treasury in one go and put it all on publicity.
In addition to the anchors of major live broadcast platforms, a one-minute note.
The Thunderbolt Game Centre also bought the promotion.
It's a pity that there is no extra rice in the pocket, Weibo Douyin is a place where traffic explodes, but the price charged is also sky-high.
Kejin is not in a position to promote it for the time being.
But compared with the degree of publicity and distribution of the previous games, the scale of this time is not small.
Many new and old players, after eating this wave of publicity, are ridiculing 'Engraved treasure is out, and they actually know how to announce it', while waiting on the official website of the number one player.
The messages at the bottom are all 'open doors'.
At the same time, the Ice and Snow Game Festival is also long overdue.
This festival is not a particularly official game festival, and it is not a game award award.
It's purely that the major game manufacturers look at the 618 next door, Double 11 has made a lot of money, and they have also concocted it in the same way and launched such a 'Ice and Snow Festival'
for one month.
At that time, various game companies will continue to launch new ones.
And all domestic companies are divided according to the grade, and the ranking is carried out in their own grade division.
The benefits of ranking high are also obvious.
Because this ranking is jointly released by the three major domestic game platforms and the NAA Forum, the flow dynamics are updated every day.
Many players will gather here to find new games on the list and change their tastes.
Therefore, the attention will be filled.
Under the watchful eye.
The Ice and Snow Festival has finally arrived.
In the early morning of that night, domestic companies and studios of all sizes released their new New Year's Eve works almost at the same time.
And "Ark of Tomorrow" also landed on the official website of the number one player platform at this moment.
