Chapter 143: The game is online!

Choose one out of 29 to do.

If it is changed to another series of games, Kejin may have to hesitate for a long time.

However, for the AC set (an abbreviation for Assassin's Creed), there is not much room for choice.

It is nothing more than choosing between the Ezio trilogy, the Black Flag, the Revolution, and the origin of the mythological trilogy or the Odyssey.

As for the rest......

In previous lives, Ubisoft was nicknamed the world's largest canning manufacturer.

AC is on the verge of becoming one of Ubisoft's signature cans.

It's not that canned products aren't fun, and the word canned isn't purely derogatory.

Since it can be called a canned game, it means that its own quality is passable, and the game is as good as its name.

You say it's not delicious, I don't eat canned food for too long, and I occasionally think about it.

You have to say it's delicious.

The smell of the industrial assembly line is inevitably tired of panic after eating too much.

Especially put on the AC series.

Each work is almost the same, with the same customs clearance process and the same gameplay system.

The phrase 'you can play the same game of Assassin's Creed on any different map in the world' is about to become a joke for players in the AC series in previous lives.

In the final analysis, it is people's pursuit of 'freshness'.

But it's hard for freshness to appear on the same game IP.

Because the biggest problem is the gameplay lock-in.

The main core gameplay of COD is gunplay, which can only be extended to the war series at best, and then leads to more guns, vehicles, and a series of war-related gameplay, and then multiplayer FPS competition, which is reasonable.

But you're doing it, and if you suddenly give someone a MOBA or even a card-based COD, the model of the gun is all printed on the card, and then say, 'What age is it still fighting a traditional war', 'Come, let's sit on paper and talk about it', and let everyone play cards when it's done, then it will definitely be scolded by the player.

The same goes for Assassin's Creed.

The main core gameplay is stealth assassination.

Everything revolves around the assassination.

Changing to an ARPG with role-playing and upgrading attributes as the core, and slowly evolving from assassination to Berserker's Creed, has been criticized countless times by players.

What's more, it is even more impossible to change to the type where eight poles can't hit one piece.

Therefore, after the first work of Assassin's Creed in 07, it has gradually developed to the present, and it has almost achieved the ultimate in assassination gameplay.

Parkour, stealth, naval battles, ARPGs, Berserkers, Thor, travel simulators, and from linear games to open worlds, Ubisoft has tried everything it needs to try.

The rest of the people who haven't tried it are not because they haven't tried it, but because they really can't get in.

If you let Ke Jin choose, there is actually nothing to choose.

"Assassin's Creed 2." Ke Jin blurted out without thinking.

As the purest work in the entire series, it has had a profound impact on the AC series in later generations.

The AC2 undoubtedly takes the classics to the extreme.

The song 'House of Ezio', which is familiar to players all over the world, is from AC2 and has been kept as a family heirloom from generation to generation.

There may be one Earth player who has never played the AC series, and there are also those who don't know the name of the song.

But as soon as you hear that magnificent and epic chant, you will instantly get goosebumps.

In addition to this, the AC2 has created a deeply rooted image that is tied to the entire AC series.

Eagle hat white robe!

If the image of the Assassin is manifested in the minds of players, it must be a grim killer dressed in white robes and soft armor and wearing an olecranon hood.

Hidden in the hustle and bustle of the city, free from the tip of the knife.

Almost the handsome interpretation is incisive.

Of course, if there are any flaws in AC2.

Because it is a game launched in 09, the picture quality and interaction system are very old.

But that's a flaw of the times, not a flaw of AC2.

And for Kejin, these are all things that can be changed.

Soon, along with his choice.

The Assassin's Creed 2 proposal is in the bag.

No delays.

The next day, I arrived at the company.

Ke Jin found Bao Jingbi.

Dropped the Assassin's Creed: Ezio proposal directly to him.

"Lao Bao, this is the first new work of the Oasis Branch, and I will leave it to you to polish."

When Bao Jingbi first received the plan, he thought it was a small game.

After all, he has just taken over as the general manager of Oasis, and he has not yet shown his strength, and as the number one player who has created countless classic works, he may not be at ease to throw good works to sharpen his knife.

As a result, when he had roughly flipped through the project of "Ezio".

Looking up at Ke Jin again, his eyes were full of thick tremors.

"Engraved ...... Engraved total ...... This game, leave it to me?? ”

Unheard-of stealth assassination gameplay!

A fluid combat system.

A unique setting for the interaction between a thief and a prostitute.

There is also a leap of faith that falls dashingly from a high altitude.

and the whimsical pseudo-historical plot, but it can justify itself to a certain extent.

There are even two timelines: reality and antiquity!

The two threads are intertwined and complement each other perfectly!

These settings are very interesting just thinking about Bao Jingbi!

This has to be done...... I'm afraid it's a 3D masterpiece that is no less than the previous "Infinity"!

With a wave of his hand, Mr. Ke directly threw such a heavyweight work to himself to take care of......

When I thought of my previous time in Tengjing, I was appointed the most by my superiors.

Design a paid project for the game.

Let's take a look at the biggest hits on the market lately.

Test where the player's bottom line is.

And when it came to the number one player, it became-

This masterpiece is left to you to take full responsibility for and polish it well.

When he landed, let Bao Jingbi's heart, a rush of blood rushed to the Tianling Gai!

This feeling of being reused made him more excited.

The look of excitement on his face was even more difficult to hide!

I saw that his face turned red, straightened his back and said loudly: "Mr. Ke, I will not disgrace my mission!" If this game can't sell 300 million, I just quit and don't do it!! ”

"Wait ......" Ke Jin almost didn't catch his breath.

Three hundred million?

I want to make 300 million.

You first ask the system if you want to give me a quota of 300 million......

After a pause, he said.

"I'll do it myself, and you lead the oasis to polish the game."

"I just have two requests."

"First, the picture is more refined, and the basic framework of the character design sketch of "Ezio" remains unchanged, so as to achieve the average picture performance in the past few years."

"Second, the assassination scene is more realistic, so that players can feel more hidden, faster, more agile, and more dangerous, under these premises, once the assassination is successful, the coolness will be doubled."

In fact, the two requirements can only be roughly calculated as different branches of the same requirement.

Because the second point was not too perfect on the earth in the previous life, it was also because of the computing power and configuration of the machine.

This is manifested when the player assassinates an important boss who lives in the palace.

He is often surrounded by only a few guards, and the player can assassinate him almost without hindrance.

The reason why this is done is because there are too many NPCs once crammed.

At the same time, it will cause a huge real-time motion calculation, instantly increase the computing power, and the picture will drop frames wildly.

In those days, these would make the host fall into lag or even flash back.

But subtraction will make the assassination look less handsome.

Think about the shock brought to players when 10,000 NPCs in the "Revolution" era appeared on the same screen after the crazy improvement of machine performance later!

In the real sense, take the head of the enemy among 10,000 people!

The cold and elegant feeling of being in the crowd, after a successful blow, he disappeared into the city and fled quickly.

Seeing him in a chaotic position, tens of thousands of people panicked and ran around like beasts, only I followed the crowd with ease, lowered the brim of his hat, put away the blood-stained blade, and disappeared into the crowd.

This kind of 'killing the enemy in the red dust, getting out of the white blade' is much more enjoyable than killing the important leaders of the other party under the reluctant siege of three people who can't act.

However, Ke Jin did not personally ask Bao Jingbi to be on the same screen.

"Ezio" is also a test of Bao Jingbi's ability, to see how good his understanding is.

Not to mention that 10,000 people are on the same screen, at least the tension and danger before the assassination must be put in place, so that the player's feedback after the one-hit kill can be brought to a climax.

Oasis if not done perfectly.

A group of veteran top players can also make final modifications.

Soon, Bao Jingbi took the order.

Kejin also began to think about the payment system of "Ezio".

In the previous life, it was a buyout work, but there was no in-app purchase element.

Even if the sequel begins to be bundled with the skin of the Assassin's robe, the skin of the weapon, the horse, and the exterior of some props, the Gold Edition and the Enhanced Edition will be bundled.

But in fact, it is also an extension of the buyout system.

After thinking about it, Kejin does not plan to split it into an in-house purchase system.

On the one hand, he has seen the madness of the Kryptonite character skin of this world.

A lot of gacha games are about to be played by them, and each wife has a big wardrobe.

Not to mention a game like Assassin's Creed, which interprets handsomeness to a certain extent.

Even if you have seven sets of assassin skins in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, even if you only change the color and not the appearance.

Kryptonians really dare to give you a Dragon Ball collection.

The risk is too great.

The best way to do this right now is to use the buyout price of a normal 3D masterpiece, such as 198, which is acceptable to players.

"But there's also a problem."

If you tie 198 to running, the effect will be good.

Either you run first and finish running to recharge this 198.

Or you just don't play it at all, and you can cloud other people's videos.

But I'm afraid the system won't allow it.

After all, the completion of the ultimate task is based on the completion of the regular task first.

But all the regular missions are '5 million hours of total player play' or something like that.

At this time, Kejin needs some free players to fill the faΓ§ade.

After thinking about it, Ke Jin plans to follow the path of the previous "Dark Deception".

Charge by chapter!

AC2 itself has a clear section of chapters.

The first chapter, up to the time when Ezio obtains the Assassin's robes, is free of charge and serves as an opening demo implanted in the body.

Give it to all players to play for free.

If you want to recharge to unlock the next level in the future, I'm sorry, let's go run 1000 meters first.

Then you want to play the next level, and the difficulty gradually increases.

2000 meters

3000 meters

……

Until a month after it was put on the shelves, wait for your task to be completed.

Change it again, and change it to unlock all subsequent chapters in advance.

In fact, to put it bluntly, after a month, you can use 198 to buy out all the content of the game at the beginning, and if players are still willing to run, you can give appropriate discounts to players who are willing to exercise.

Well, no one is to be offended.

Talented!

Picture perfect!

When I explained this krypton system to my employees and asked them to design the corresponding payment framework.

The employees all looked at each other.

After Kejin left, the employees whispered.

"Run to top up to unlock the next level? How does it feel...... The moment is becoming more and more abstract......"

"I don't know if you've noticed, Mr. Ke seems to like torturing players......"

"And the most outrageous thing is that every game he designs is fun, but it is also very painful for players to play it."

"It's bad, it shouldn't be in the next big game of chess......"

"What do you mean by that?"

"He wants to turn all the players into Stockholm syndrome patients! He's going to be the S of all players! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The idea is a bit too far ahead. ”

However, the abstract attributes of the paid interface are not a day or two.

You say he is abstract, and he can take it back in the end every time and help the company make a lot of money.

It can only be said that our general thinking is not understandable to ordinary people, and the country and even the world may not be able to find a second number one player.

So, everyone just had a brief discussion, and it was not surprising that they began to get busy.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Two months passed quietly, and the season also walked from the beginning of spring to the summer solstice.

The Oasis branch expanded to 500 people, in addition to the initial project was a little uncomfortable, and after entering the working state, the efficiency improved rapidly.

Moreover, during the production process, Ke Jin also occasionally went to the branch to supervise the battle.

Bao Jingbi is worthy of being the director of Tengjing headquarters before.

There are a lot of ideas, and the embodiment projected into the game is also quite satisfying to Kejin.

The two requirements he put forward were implanted into the game almost perfectly.

On the premise of not destroying the original gameplay of the proposal, a series of optimizations have been made.

In the end, the finished product that has not been tested internally, Kejin even thinks after a simple trial.

Even if this is thrown on the earth as a reset version of AC2, it can definitely attract a wave of attention.

It also made Kejin feel at ease about his decision to appoint him as the general manager of Oasis.

is worthy of being judged by the system to be a five-star general.

The only thing that makes Ke Jin more puzzled is.

With such a strong strength, I don't know why Tengjing would let him go.

In addition to the fact that the base game has been basically completed.

The paid interface was eventually integrated into Ezio thanks to improvements made by a group of employees at Ready Player One.

And, in the process of designing the paid interface.

There is an Internet communication company that I don't know where to get the news, and I want to seek cooperation.

The cooperation project is to the effect that they pay a certain advertising fee for the number one player and are responsible for helping the number one player design the running counting app.

However, because this technology is not too unusual, and he can do it himself, Ke Jin still refused.

But the other party's move also woke up Kejin.

You can use this app to create a mobile-exclusive player community for the number one player!

Similar to the positioning of the Palm Alliance, Miyou Club, and Brigade Mage Camp in the previous life.

Moving users from PC to mobile is not an easy thing to do.

For example, in the early years, the 360 and Jinshan drug bully series dominated the country's computers.

After the arrival of the mobile era, it is obvious that the water and soil are not adapted, and they are almost crumbling.

It wasn't until it was subsequently ordered by the state that some environment was obtained.

Even in the gaming industry, many PC manufacturers have been repeatedly blocked from entering the mobile terminal.

There are countless examples of this in previous lives.

The current number one player has not produced a single mobile game.

Even the Ark of Tomorrow is presented in the form of a terminal game.

If you don't plan ahead of time, you will have a small mobile market share at present.

Even if a high-quality mobile game is launched in the future, there is a great risk of being plagiarized and imitated, and then others can use their own user base to beat you up in minutes and turn yours into his.

After all, it's a habit of use.

Different from the PC side, the user's usage habits are more inclined to web pages.

Messages are fetched from various web pages.

And the web page is an all-inclusive existence, and there is no question of whose hegemony is.

But when it comes to the mobile terminal, take mobile phone products as an example.

Everyone's usage habits tend to jump back and forth between apps.

The browser on the mobile phone is more often only used as an auxiliary tool, and it is no longer like the PC to open an official webpage and then learn about the latest news of the official.

This result will also lead to users having a strong sense of belonging to the apps they often use.

Most of their sources of information about the outside world basically come from a few commonly used apps.

At this point, it is actually equivalent to monopolizing the channels for users to obtain information.

No matter how good your game is, as long as you come to the mobile terminal, you don't have your own exclusive APP.

Either you will pay a large amount of publicity money to the major mainstream apps and be slaughtered first.

Or just wait for someone to imitate a new product, and then people will publicize it with great fanfare, and take your earnings for themselves.

"In order not to be stuck in the mobile terminal in the future, it is imminent to lay out the mobile track as soon as possible."

I don't know if other factories are good at laying out mobile terminals.

Anyway, their current influence in the game industry.

Several games are warmed up in advance, and each game is highly bound to its own APP, and a good atmosphere is created around its own game.

There is a high probability that you will be able to fight your way out of the encirclement.

Therefore, in the second half of the development of Ezio, the employees of Oasis were busy with the development.

And the staff of the number one player is not idle, and the main difficulty to overcome is the creation of the mobile app of the number one player.

Finally.

After two and a half months.

A player consultation community app called "Intel Number One" was launched, and the desktop of the app was based on the Brotherhood symbol from Assassin's Creed.

Since there were almost no users in the early stage, the focus of Kejin was also on first-hand information, leaving only a community for players to communicate, and there were not too many bells and whistles in addition to this, and the interface was clean and refreshing.

And will be the number one player to include all the relevant content of all the games of Oasis.

For example, the version update preview/future outlook of the game

The progress of the development of the new game.

Includes company anecdotes about the development of Ready Player One game.

All of them are exclusively licensed to "Top Intelligence" to accelerate the user expansion of its APP.

In addition, Kejin also gave the "Number One Intelligence" a big gift!

The number one player who hasn't seen a new game in the three months since the end of the Naraka event.

On Tip One, it was announced that Assassin's Creed: Ezio will be officially launched tomorrow!
