Yu Fuqi's proposal did not poke Ke Jin's heart.

Let the zero krypton players be tortured, and let the recharge players enjoy.

Even if a giant company like Tengjing Netcom heard this, they didn't dare to say it.

No matter how outrageous the krypton game is on Blue Star, I know that I have to take care of some zero krypton players, and I don't dare to make the game experience too rebellious, otherwise the krypton boss will lose the object of pretending.

Not to mention torturing Zero Krypton players?

If you want me to die in the game, say it sooner!

The reason why this guy was promoted was because Ke Jin got another level of inspiration from his words.

Can I do the opposite?

I let the heavy krypton players be tortured.

And then let zero krypton players get the game experience normally, can it be done?

It is also called - krypton gold increases the difficulty of the game!

The more krypton you have, the more difficult your game will be.

Just think about it.

In this world where everyone spends money to have fun.

The games I make, everyone can only find guilt when they spend money.

So who still has the money?

If you don't charge your money......

Am I not stable?

Yes, stable again.

But this time it's different.

It belongs to the four Optimus Primes carrying a sedan chair to carry Grandma Liu into the Grand View Garden, which is stable in the real sense!

Even from the perspective of the player's behavioral logic, it is flawless!

"This method is absolutely amazing!" When the thought came to mind, Ke Jin's eyes suddenly lit up.

Our company is still hiding the dragon and crouching tiger? The number one player really doesn't raise idlers!

If it weren't for the fear that other employees would not be convinced, Ke Jin would have been willing to give Yu Fuqi a direct promotion to deputy director.

It's true that the employees are contributing to the number one player company.

But if it's just for yourself.

That Yu Fuqi is simply the only employee who has exported positive value to himself since the establishment of the entire company for more than half a year.

After announcing the adjournment of the meeting, Ke Jin hurried back to the office.

As soon as the door closes, pour yourself a glass of 82 years!

I won't drink Coke this time, and it's elegant.

Have a Pepsi!

Shaking the churning carbonated sparkling water in the cup, Ke Jin took out the blind box that was quietly stored in the inventory.

However, in the selection of games, Ke Jin hesitated for a moment.

Orthodox torture games, that should naturally be the famous black blood wolf Renhuan, which is also known as soul like.

But it's a pity.

My current financial resources are not enough to support the development of these series.

The R&D cost of Soullike is not too expensive compared to other 3D games.

Even if the Elden Ring, which combines the strengths of hundreds of schools, is made into a large map mode of the open world, the cost will not cost 200 million.

You can pull it out right away.

But you must know that the R&D cost of 200 million yuan was piled up by others for five years.

If you want to shorten the time as quickly as possible, your budget will be blown up in an instant.

Ponder over.

Kejin considered another game that also had the attributes of torture. The game can even be pulled out within a month and is available to a wide range of players.

And in terms of the degree of torture, I'm afraid it can be on a par with the soul like.

However, this game is not so much a soul like.

It's better to call it another name.

Metroidvania-like.

Quickly enter the affix you want on the blind box.

[Metroidvania-like] + [Zerg]

Soon, the game you wanted was presented in front of you.

[Congratulations on getting the SS-level Metroidvania game design proposal - Hollow Knight!] 】

One of the ceiling works of 2D side-scrolling action games.

It's also a nightmare for hand-wrecked players.

It contains a large number of difficult elements, which undoubtedly rubs players who are not skilled enough to the ground repeatedly.

Not to mention the painful road, the radiant steel heart, and the 0R4 lock 5 doors, which are difficult challenges that even bigwig players feel like their brains are buzzing.

For players who are not very skilled.

Just throwing a Fendago or Mantis Boss can torment the player for an entire day.

This wave of awesome plans to match yourself doesn't match too much!

And more importantly, here's what's more.

It's cheap.

In the previous life, Cherry Studio, a small team of several people, took a full five years from the idea to the release of the finished product, and the production cost was about two or three million.

The main difficulties in the production of "Hollow" are basically focused on the art and motion design.

There are a large number of bosses, each with their own unique logic.

The amount of work on the textures section is even more exaggerated.

If it is released in a month, you can consider finding two large outsourced art teams in one go, plus a large motion design and programming company, and you can basically get it done.

The cost can be controlled within 30 million.

With a thick pile of game plan books in his pocket, Kejin also began to ponder the pricing strategy of this game.

It is definitely inappropriate to go through the buyout system, and the buyout system cannot well reflect the tactical policy of 'krypton gold becomes weaker'.

is more suitable, but also depends on the in-app purchase.

It took a few days to study and compare the in-app purchase system of those action games on Blue Star.

During the process, Wen Zhiyin's psychological logic for pricing strategy was also consulted.

In the end, Kejin finalized a plan.

The normal difficulty of the start remains the same.

Then, don't get any six yuan for the first charge.

If it's too low, I'm afraid that the existing die-hard fans of the number one player, even if they are for their feelings, will give themselves a first charge or something.

Then the eyes will be black.

And for "Hollow", it's perfect enough on its own, and too complicated a pricing system doesn't apply.

Too single gear, but not a deterrent.

There is a real possibility that the player will be 'ignorant and playful'.

After thinking about it, Kejin finally locked in 4 levels of difficulty.

Level 1 difficulty.

As long as you recharge 20 yuan or more, you can enjoy the benefit of 'attack damage halved'!

Second difficulty.

Recharge another 50 yuan to seal the upper limit of the blood tank! The player will not be able to gain any way to increase their HP limit in the course of the process.

The third difficulty.

Recharge the 100 yuan stall and seal the talisman.

There are a total of 42 amulets scattered throughout the map.

Each amulet provides a better gaming experience for the player, such as the Compass Amulet, which displays the player's current location on the map.

The Dash Charm, for example, allows the player to cancel the backswing faster and perform the next dash to avoid incoming damage.

In the late stage, if the talisman slot is basically full, you can wear four talismans at once.

You only need to charge 100 yuan, and I will seal it all for you, and you are not allowed to wear it throughout the game.

Directly to a wave of reverse promotion!

The last difficulty is also considered by Kejin to be a perverted difficulty.

Top up 200 yuan and get the 'Player Bliss Gift Pack' right away!

The gift package includes: the initial HP limit is reduced from 5 blocks to only 1 square, the blue bar charge can only release skills once, the monster's HP is doubled, and the weapon cannot be upgraded.

And players in each gear can only buy one round, and cannot make repeated purchases to avoid the phenomenon of malicious krypton.

At this point, you're done!

If you increase the difficulty, it will completely affect the balance of the game.

In order to deliberately make things difficult for players, he changed the game to the point where he couldn't play it at all, which was not Kejin's original intention, so he still retained the last trace of humanity.

After all, these kryptonite mechanisms that increase difficulty already had a similar challenge in the previous life of "Hollow".

It's just that I moved them out in advance to deter players.

Double-checked again.

Looking at the outrageousness that almost overflowed between the lines, Ke Jin felt that he was a devil

Genius!

As long as players honestly don't charge money, they can get a normal and perfect gaming experience.

Once you have the evil idea of kryptonite, I will personally help you correct it!

Krypton?

Love Krypton, right?

I see how you guys krypton this time!

Play the game, just play the game, don't worry about Krypton all day long, your broken gold.

The game also let you play, and you still want to top up your money?

Why do you take advantage of all the good things!

After arranging all the matters, Ke Jin threw the finished plan to Gou Chehua and asked him to be in charge of arranging.

The company also quickly set up the project of "Hollow Knight" and entered a new round of intensive research and development.

Looking at the busy employees, Ke Jin couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Just wait another month, and the good days are really coming!

————

"Dog thing! Why did you even grab your sister's third-level head, give it back to me! ”

Since the number one player has developed more and more games, the options for Kejin have become more and more wide.

On the day off, Ke Jin, who had nothing to do, took his sister to eat chicken in his room.

After landing at the airport, Ke Jin relied on his skillful operation and quickly cleared the other team of people in the C building in the melee.

Ke Yu also killed one in a daze, and when he licked the bag, he saw a black third-level head.

Happily wearing a skull, he didn't have time to rejoice.

I saw a figure next to me hurrying over.

He said something like 'give me the third head, and I'll help you identify the quality.' ’

Unlike Kejin, an old oiler of 1000+ hours, Keyu is an entry-level newcomer, and he has not played this game for more than 50 hours in total, and he has not fully mastered the game mechanics.

As soon as he heard this, Ke Yu honestly took off his third-level head.

"True at a glance, identified as a pure three-level head." As soon as Ke Jin took it, he put it on his head, and it was moistened.

Suddenly angry Keyu shouted wow.

Do you still need to say that the third-level head? I don't have eyes!

The results didn't wait for her to have a seizure.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps in my ears.

Soon, a shuttle of bullets came from behind her.

Frightened, Keyu screamed in panic and hugged his head and ran away.

"Yubao, tilt your head to the left." The team's voice suddenly heard Ke Jin's calm voice.

"Huh?" Although Ke Yu was puzzled, he still subconsciously pressed the Q button and tilted his head.

The next moment, I heard a crisp and nice sniping sound coming from the headphones.

"Tom!"

A bullet almost grazed her cheek, and with Ke Yu's eyes widening, a headshot killed the sneak attacker behind her in an instant!

When he landed, Keyu's heart was filled with a strong sense of security.

Hmph, this stinky guy's marksmanship is quite accurate, and this third-level head is quite handsome on his head.

Forget it, Miss Ben won't care about the affairs of the third head.

As a result, the next moment, I heard Ke Jin speak in the voice team.

"The one who just got my headshot is also a third-level head on his head, you go lick the bag."

"Really?" Ke Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although she doesn't play well eating chicken, the feeling of getting top-level equipment in the game is still quite refreshing.

Hurriedly trotting all the way towards the box of the slain player.

As a result, when he licked the bag, Ke Yu's little face instantly darkened.

"! His third-level head has been blown up by you, you are a dog! ”

Ke Yu, who couldn't get angry, directly ripped off the headphones, and quickly developed from online PK to offline PK, she was going to go to the next room to strangle this bastard!

Soon, the brother and sister started a fierce confrontation in the room, and Ke Jin's screams could be heard throughout the house.

Ke Jun, who was sitting in the living room watching the military show, was annoyed by the noise, got up and walked to Ke Jin's room, and scolded: "How old are you two people, you are still making trouble, and you won't let people stop on Sunday!" ”

And the next moment, he saw the picture on Kejin's computer screen.

Suddenly frowned: "You stinky boy, playing games?" ”

The words just fell.

Kemu, who was mopping the floor on the side, spoke.

"Okay, you just said it yourself, how old is it, can you still play a game and lose your mind? Besides, my son has been working hard for months, so what's wrong with relaxing and playing games at home on the weekends? Lift your feet. ”

"You, you just spoil their brother and sister." Kejun's mouth was very hard, but his feet were honestly lifted up.

In fact, he knew it in his own heart.

My son has grown so much that a few months ago he finally got a job in the media industry.

The stinky boy has also worked hard for several months, and it is safe to commute to work on time every day, and he can play games just by playing games, and he doesn't have to be as strict as before.

Anyway, the probability of following his grandfather's old path as a game designer is almost zero at the moment, and he doesn't need to worry too much.

It's just that I've been a teacher for many years, and I've committed an occupational disease, and I can't help but want to break my mouth when I see something.

When it comes to work, Ke Jun cares a little more.

"By the way, how is your kid doing lately? What do you do every day at work? ”

Ke Jin was still thinking about how to fool around.

I listened to Keyu on the side blurted out: "My brother draws orthography for people in the company every day, but he is diligent." ”

"Poof!!" As soon as he heard this, Ke Jin almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

raised his eyes and glared at his old sister, but found that the latter was also glaring back at him at this time.

With a face full of 'Let you rob me of the third level of the head, and play me!' '' discontent.

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Ke Jin couldn't wait to take off his socks and stuff them in her mouth.

Just you have a mouth? Who asked you!

"Draw straight letters?" Ke Jun's face was full of doubts: "What kind of new name is this?" ”

Then he shook his head.

"Forget it, I don't bother to take care of young people's things, you can work hard, have a good relationship with your colleagues and leaders, don't be hippie and smiling all day long, you have no place to cry when you turn around and let people fire you. Also, you two should be quiet, don't be too noisy. ”

After that, Ke Jun nestled back on the sofa and continued to watch the show.

Ke Yu stuck out his tongue at Ke Jin in a daze: "I heard that I didn't have Mr. Ke, do a good job, you have no place to cry when you turn around and be opened." ”

"Ouch me...... I see you're having an itchy ass. Ke Jin just took off the slippers on his feet.

Ke Yu was like a rabbit, and slipped to the door with an arrow step, and didn't forget to make a face at him before leaving.

"You little, you see if I can rob your girlfriend or not, it's over." Ke Jin compared a middle finger to Ke Yu, who had already slipped away without a shadow.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has been a month since the establishment of "Hollow Knight".

This month, the game circle has been relatively stable.

Nothing big happens.

However, there are intermittent and intermittent small melons and small dates that are short in the east and west, so that players can have some fun in addition to the game.

Another piece of data has caught the attention of Kejin.

It is a summary of game genres released by the Game Regulatory Authority in the first quarter of this year.

Compared with last year's repeated gacha game fights, other small types of accompaniment.

This year's gaming industry has been particularly lively.

Except that gacha games still occupy half of the entire industry.

The remaining half is starting to get richer.

Among them, fighting action games account for about 20% of the entire game genre.

FPS 10%

The proportion of random stream games (meat pigeons) has also reached nearly 6%

Gambling (werewolf killing) accounted for 4%

The rest are some more off-the-beaten-path, such as horror, positioning, business simulation, sports, and so on.

It is worth mentioning that the drama category has also slowly recovered from the cold winter of more than ten years, from not accounting for one of the tens of thousands of games released in previous years, to this year, it has also attracted a record high of 0.81%.

Seeing that the entire game industry is developing towards richer diversification little by little, many game companies are no longer limited to card drawing, but are looking at the layout to try more niche categories.

Although the process of reversal was still slow, Ke Jin was still very relieved.

The gaming industry is given a lot of significance, though not great.

However, as a rising star, the ninth art, it is also using its unique interactive way to lead the new generation to slowly get in touch with this colorful world.

The games that players can access should be inclusive and exciting, which of course can include gacha, but it must not only be gacha.

Being able to slowly develop towards the rich side has already satisfied Kejin.

And just as he closed the first quarter report page, Gou Chehua also knocked on the door, indicating that the last batch of company beta testing of "Hollow" had been completed and could be put on the shelves at any time.

At this time, the system beep also followed.

[Detected that "Hollow Knight" is about to be released]

[Charging mode: in-app purchase]

[Game development cost: about 30 million]

[Adaptive companion quests are being released for the host!] 】

[Regular Mission: Reach one million trials within the first month of Hollow Knight's release!] 】

[Special Mission: Please complete the normal task under the condition that the turnover in the first month is less than 100 million yuan!] 】
