Chapter 173: Players rule players
In the game industry, especially in the domestic game industry, Tianba Studio has always been one of the representatives of non-mainstream and unconventional paths.
This is recognized by both ordinary players and practitioners.
The reason for the formation of such a stereotype was that at first it was because "Simulator Under the Fence" issued more than a dozen update announcements in a row, and the content turned out to be all "regulating housing prices".
And then it became famous!
Since then, Tianba Studio's outrageous behavior again and again has confirmed this statement, and it is completely uncleared.
But when everyone thought that this was the limit of Tianba Studio, they never expected that Tianba Studio was more abstract than everyone thought.
Don't Leave After School: Pinballs
The name of this game, with the recent rise in popularity, has gradually become known to countless gamers.
At first, I didn't understand.
After taking a closer look at the details of the game and the introduction of the gameplay, everyone suddenly realized, oh my god, isn't this the glass bead I played with when I was a child?
It's so tall that you almost don't recognize it, why don't you just play with glass beads, what new tricks can you play?
Early Access release.
Due to the active exploration of the player [Brother Ba's Little Wife], everyone was stunned after suddenly changing from a game of marbles to a real-time strategy game.
Oh!
Can this game still be played?
Ok, good, good! I wasn't interested in anything, but it sounds pretty good to be by you, so I'll have to give it a try......
On the eighth day of the lunar month, the official version was released.
I thought that playing a casual game into a palace fighting strategy game was already very unexpected. Unexpectedly, after the official version of "Don't Go After School" was launched, the gameplay was upgraded again!
Not only ordinary players were stunned, but even those industry insiders who have been silently paying attention to Tianba Studio and claiming to be fans of Ba Ge Road were also stunned by this update announcement.
["Don't Go After School: Marbles" Official Version Launch and Update Instructions Announcement]
[First of all, thank you for your strong support, so far, the game has sold more than 700,000 copies on all platforms......]
As soon as Jiang Yongqing went online, he saw the official announcement of the game.
There are several main aspects to the content.
First, the game is now in the official version, it is no longer an early access version, and the version number has changed.
Second, the game is selling very well, and in order to thank all players for their support, the official has decided to give all players a "Early Test" exclusive commemorative title.
Thirdly, the game opens the "School Transfer" function! The so-called transfer of schools is actually the "transfer area" or "transfer server" in other games, which means the same.
The first two points are irrelevant.
The key point is the third point, after this transfer function, if you want to go to other areas to play, then you don't need to open a trumpet or create a new one.
This is a great convenience for players.
Especially for ordinary players, it is definitely going to which district is lively to play. Jiang Yongqing himself wanted to go to the fifth district, because the "Three Kingdoms" in the fifth district is really interesting.
In addition to the opening of the transfer area, the core of this official version update, and the most shocking point, is the complete decentralization of Tianba Studio.
In simple terms.
Because of the existence of "permission marbles", players also have exclusive rights to operate some games.
For this part of the players, Tianba Studio has specially launched a "game partner" platform mechanism.
What is a Game Partner?
This is also very simple, after obtaining the "Permission Pinball" in the game and dominating the whole region, you can join the "Game Partner" program of Tianba Studio.
Here's an example.
"Don't Go After School" National Service Zone 3, at present, there is only one person with this partner qualification, [Cherry Cake Sauce].
Then she can join this partner program, which is equivalent to obtaining an authorization from Tianba Studio to plan a part of the officially approved operation activities or game mode.
But only in Zone 3!
For example, [Cherry Cake Sauce] feels that the number of active people in this area is too low, so it can hold a "call friends" welcome activity.
Players can invite their friends to join the game, or they can convince their friends to move from other districts to three districts to play, and each player invited will receive a certain reward......
For an event like this, [Cherry Cake Sauce] can be planned by itself and reported to Tianba Studio.
Generally speaking, it will be approved.
After all, Brother Ba has delegated his power, and he is worried that players will abuse their authority to mess around.
I said before that the permission pinball player is the emperor of the soil in this area, and it is likely that it is just a joke, after all, it is really useless except for the good name and the fact that it can be opened legally.
But now, it's really possible to contract a server!
"There is a limit......
Jiang Yongqing took a serious look at the standards given by Tianba's official and found that this "game partner" was actually not so easy to do.
According to the official version.
"Don't Leave After School" is likely to be converted into a free-to-play game, that is, a series of in-app purchase krypton projects will be launched in the future.
Then here's the problem!
The number of active people on a server, including the recharge flow, if it doesn't meet the standard, this "game partner" will be ruthlessly wiped out by Brother Ba.
In other words, this game partner is actually the operation planner of other games, and there is also the corresponding KPI assessment pressure.
This KPI includes not only the server ecosystem, but also the number of active players on the server, as well as the future top-up flow.
Now playing games is really "paid to work"!
However, Brother Ba has always believed that meritorious service must be rewarded, and there is a truth that there must be punishment.
Becoming a "game partner" of "Don't Leave After School" not only has corresponding restrictions and penalties, but also corresponding rewards and benefits.
GM privileges aside.
Even if Brother Ba doesn't give this, these players also have it, so this is a benefit by the way.
This is followed by high bonuses!
If the "Three Little Tyrants" meet the standards in terms of the number of active players and the ecology of the game environment under the governance of the Empress [Cherry Cake Sauce], then she can receive a huge bonus from the Tianba Studio.
Ba Ge also said that after the launch of the in-app purchase business in the future, the "game partners" of the district service will be given corresponding recharge flow dividends.
"What a raze!"
Jiang Yongqing couldn't help but sigh, Brother Ba is really a game producer who has learned the art of war, and this trick is easy to play!
In this way, the game "Don't Leave After School" does not need any planning and operation team.
What else do you need to plan and operate?
The player himself is the planning and operation of the game, and Tianba Studio only has a server team to maintain the potato server on a daily basis, so as not to go down and it will be over.
The most annoying thing is ......
In this update announcement, Brother Ba made it clear that Tianba Studio will not officially interfere in any disputes between players.
The so-called "game partners" only recognize the marble, which represents the administrator's rights.
In other words......
Tianba Studio doesn't care who is the game partner, they only recognize marbles, and whoever has the marbles in their hands is the partner.
This is no longer a hint, but an explicit!
When he saw this, Jiang Yongqing had already thought that with the introduction of this "game partner" system, the group of careerists who had died down would definitely become even more crazy.
The struggle for the throne between the district servers will also become more fierce and cruel!
In the past, when I competed for the throne, it was really just a false name, a sense of "legal openness", and the throne actually didn't mean anything.
But now, this marble, which represents authority, and the position of the emperor of this district service, represents not only a false name, but also a real "interest"!
Even if it was Jiang Yongqing, he was also moved at this moment.
Judging from this update announcement, whoever can ascend the throne in this district and become the game partner of "Don't Leave After School" is much better than a part-time worker.
This is a server for a popular game!
Moreover, this game will be free in the future, and functions such as in-app purchase of krypton gold will be opened, and game partners can withdraw the recharge turnover of players on this server......
Damn!
Although I don't know what the specific share ratio is, even if it is only 1%, it is the recharge flow of all players in a district, which is not a small amount.
"It's really lively now......"
Jiang Yongqing, who was respected as the "First Emperor" in the community and the third district, shook his head, feeling that Brother Ba was pure and pure, for fear that the players would not be able to fight.
As soon as this official version is updated, I'm afraid that all districts will have to mess up. In order to compete for the supreme throne, in order to become the partner of Brother Ba, these careerists and conspirators must not work hard with red eyes?
But then again.
This has little to do with Jiang Yongqing, although he is recognized as the "First Emperor" by all "Don't Leave After School" players, and has a high reputation and influence in the community.
But to be honest, he's just a rubber stamp, a spiritual pillar.
If he rebels now, especially the rebellion of the empress, there may be few people who are willing to support him, after all, the era of the first emperor has long passed, and prestige does not mean power.
What he valued more than the struggle for the throne was the deep meaning of this update announcement.
Let the player govern the player?
I have to say that Brother Ba's idea is very bold, and it has simply created a precedent for all online games.
No game company has ever dared to try so boldly, let players govern players, give players the opportunity to contract a server, and plan operational activities.
Then here's the problem!
Players are not professional game planners or professional game operators, can they do this job well and meet the KPIs set by Tianba Studio?
Jiang Yongqing asked himself, if it was him, most of the time he would not be able to do well in that position, and he might be "punished" by Brother Ba when he turned his head.
But the player base is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Among the hundreds of thousands of players, there are really a few unusually strong men. Give them this chance, and maybe they can make the game "Don't Leave School" shine!
This kind of person rests in ancient history, that is the so-called "Emperor of the Ages"!
"Although it is difficult to come out with an emperor through the ages, most emperors are ordinary or even mediocre, but ......"
As if thinking of something, Jiang Yongqing couldn't help but laugh and said, "This game has changed the dynasty too quickly!" Change an emperor every three or five days, and after a long time, you can always wait for a Ming Monarch Holy Lord! ”
This should also be Brother Ba's consideration.
For other games, it is certainly not appropriate and safe to give players such authority to players and let them manage a server.
But Don't Leave After School: Pinball is a game that's so special!
There are rebels everywhere, so many rebels are staring at the throne, if anyone does not do well, they will be "martyred" by others the next day.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if Fengtianjing is unsuccessful, there is still a bully brother above his head! It's really not good, Brother Ba turned his head and sent down heavenly punishment, and this throne should be lost......
"That's right!"
After roughly reading the official version of the update announcement, Jiang Yongqing suddenly patted his head and thought of one thing.
The third and fourth districts, which have initially realized the "great unification" of the district services, will not talk about it first. District 1 and District 2, especially District 5, which is a three-country regional server, how to select game partners?
Confused, he looked at the supplementary terms at the end of the update announcement.
Brother Ba really has an explanation!
In the supplementary clause, there is a special article that explains the selection mechanism of game partners when multiple forces coexist in a regional server, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.
In short!
When there is a situation of "two heroes competing for hegemony" or "three-legged support" in a certain regional server, then a joint contract can be initially signed to form an alliance.
Taking the five districts as an example, no one in the three forces of Wei, Shu and Wu can help anyone, so the three of them will cooperate together to become the game partners of the five districts.
You can fight as you would normally, but if you encounter a major event that involves the whole district, then sit down and talk about it and vote on the future development of the district.
"It's okay, joint-stock system!"
Jiang Yongqing understood it thoroughly.
In the third and fourth districts, which have been largely unified, that is, the emperor of the soil is the sole proprietorship, and unless the current ruler is overthrown, he will have to listen to him.
The five districts are divided into districts, so they will vote, and everyone will be shareholders, sitting together and seeking common development for the district.
Plainly!
This game partner, his own interests are linked to the development of the district service.
If the development of your district is slow or even not good enough, resulting in the loss of a large number of players or even the transfer of districts, the interests of the emperor will also be damaged, and he will even be "punished by heaven" by the overlord.
In order to keep the throne and for the sake of vital interests, these players will work hard to develop and operate their own districts as long as they are not stupid, and seek development and welfare for other players in their regions.
Otherwise, if you are overthrown, you won't be able to blame anyone if you are punished by heaven!
By the way.
Along with the game partnership system, there is also the concept of "working capital".
Each district has an indefinite amount of operating funds, which can be used to buy prizes, such as mobile phones, computers, cash shopping cards, etc., can also be used to upgrade servers, and can even be used to advertise and promote.
How does this funding come from?
The answer is simple, cross-regional PK!
Cross-regional PK implements a point system, and the higher the ranking of the regional server in each season, the better resource tilt of Tianba Studio can be obtained, and more operating funds can be obtained.
Brother Ba really knows how to arch fire too well!
He sacrificed this trick, not to mention anything else, the soil emperors of each district, so he can't fight for the bottom players and fight for the honor of his district?
The district at the bottom of the ranking is both humiliating and losing interests, and the "danger of losing the country" is just around the corner!
