5 Chapter 5

"Web ...... Game? Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Jiang Qiu's white gourd.

It's not like they've never heard of this kind of game, and many of them even tried it in college.

But because of this, everyone will find it incredible - the browser game is simple to make, very easy to use, and very suitable for beginners.

If they really do it, they might be able to do it in a few days.

But because of the small size of this kind of game, most of them are free games, even if they have to be charged, it is only one or two dollars, and players who have more than three dollars have to walk around when they see it, and they have to spit and scold a conscience before leaving.

In this way, how many copies do you have to sell to turn the company around?

Even if this kind of game is made, will it really save the studio?

At the moment, some people smiled bitterly, and they couldn't raise the slightest hope for this new game.

Needless to say, the boss must have only thought about finding a way to complete it as quickly as possible, and never thought about whether this method would work.

They thought that the boss had finally become normal, but it turned out that it was just abnormal in a different place.

For a while, silence spread, and they couldn't even muster up the energy to ask Jiang Qiubai what kind of web game he was going to make.

What if you ask, do you listen to the boss's strange thinking again?

Maybe he's going to change the original dress-up shooter into a pure dress-up game.

That's really what he can do.

Only Lao Liu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Boss, if you make a web game...... How do we price it? ”

He originally wanted to remind Jiang Qiubai not to forget that they still have to make money, but Jiang Qiubai dropped another bomb with a calm face: "We don't charge money, make a free browser game." ”

Lose your marbles!

The owner must be crazy!

The company is still making free games like this, are you afraid that you will not die fast enough?

The people who originally wanted to stay and take a look now regret that their bowels are going to be green, as if they see a future where they can't get paid and work overtime every day.

Jiang Qiubai looked around and took in everyone's expressions before he spoke slowly: "It's a free game, but the props inside need krypton gold." ”

After speaking, he remembered that there was no concept of krypton gold in this world, and explained: "It's just spending money to buy game props." ”

This is a method used by game dealers in his original world to collect money: first use free gimmicks to trick people in, give some small benefits, and then step by step lure players to recharge and buy props to get a better game experience.

It is said that it is a free game, but players don't know how much more money they spend than a buyout game.

True to the old saying - free is the most expensive.

"Spending money on in-game items? Krypton? Numerical planner Xiao Li muttered and repeated, "This word is quite vivid." ”

For a moment, a strange feeling flashed through Xiao Li's mind, but when she came back to her senses, she didn't catch anything.

It wasn't until the game was released later that Xiao Li understood that this feeling was called:

The consciousness of profiteers is awakened.

"Yes, our main game is free and can be experienced by all players, but if you want to buy relevant items during the game, you have to recharge." Jiang Qiubai nodded.

Seems a little interesting?

The mood of everyone who had fallen to the bottom dropped slightly, and they began to be curious about this way of charging for props.

"Will these game items affect the balance of the game?" Developer Xiao Wang asked, he has been in contact with a lot of games on weekdays, and he doesn't agree with Jiang Qiubai's design very much.

"To a certain extent, it will." Jiang Qiubai replied.

Without affecting the balance of the game, how can the props be sold?

This answer was expected by Xiao Wang, and it was also the reason why he disagreed: "Will this lead to the dissatisfaction of non-recharge users, thus losing most players?" ”

There have been one or two people who have tried to charge for props before, but they all lost all their money.

After all, most people in this world don't have the concept of spending money in games.

"Our gaming audience will be satisfied." Jiang Qiubai was noncommittal.

"What if you're not satisfied?" Xiao Wang was in hot pursuit.

"Then he's not the audience for our game." Jiang Qiubai glanced at Xiao Wang: "This game doesn't need too many players, our target audience is office workers." ”

He didn't need 100,000 people to give him a dollar each, he wanted 10,000 people to give him 10,000 yuan each.

That's what he meant by targeting office workers.

I don't have time, but I can afford to spend money, and I am willing to spend money, what a good leek, ah no, what a good customer.

"Office workers, they play games?" Xiao Wang was stunned for a moment and blurted out.

"Do you spend all your time in the studio?" Jiang Qiubai asked rhetorically.

"This ...... Well...... Haha, is that what the boss chose to do a browser game for? How wise! Recalling those browsing pages on his office computer, Xiao Wang quickly changed his tone and was full of support.

The speed of changing the face kills a certain Sichuan in seconds.

"It's true that the browser game is stealthily enough to switch and shrink the window at will."

"In this way, web games and office workers are a perfect match!"

"The boss is really the boss, how can we think of this."

Who hasn't had the time to go to work and fish, seeing Jiang Qiubai mention this, no one questioned it, and the house was full of praise, so he couldn't wait to expose this topic quickly.

Fortunately, Jiang Qiubai just asked casually, and didn't plan to expand on what to say: "Do you have any questions about the type of game?" ”

"No problem!" Xiao Wu, the assistant who touched the fish the most, responded immediately, for fear that the matter of touching the fish would be exposed if he said it was slow.

The remaining five people also shook their heads repeatedly.

"Then let's get ready to make it." Jiang Qiubai assigned tasks one by one: "All the scenes in the original game are retained, which can be appropriately compressed." ”

Browser games are not large in size and cannot be fully occupied by the scene.

"The mobs in each scene are set to trigger at a fixed location, remember to highlight their level, so that people can tell at a glance which is a high-level mob and which is a low-level mob." There was only one numerical plan left, and Jiang Qiubai simply handed over this task to the program Xiao Yang and Xiao Zhang.

"You guys do it first, and then I'll find someone to outsource a batch of materials, and it will be there in about a week, and then you can add the characters' movements and weapons."

Seeing that the two of them had turned into bitter gourd faces, Jiang Qiubai added: "You don't need to design too many details, just a few actions when fighting monsters." ”

After speaking, he emphasized: "But we must ensure that the sense of blow when fighting monsters must not be worse than the original game." ”

"Okay boss." The two programs were tasked with it.

"Xiao Li, tomorrow I will give you a table, and refer to my form for the value setting and recharge activities."

The main planning and operation have long since left, and this burden falls on Xiao Li.

"I'll do my best boss." Xiao Li took a deep breath and felt that the burden on his body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

This is the first time he has designed a recharge campaign, and nothing can go wrong.

"Does Xiao Wu know how to write a plot?" Jiang Qiubai turned to Xiao Wu, who was shrinking himself into a ball and trying to shrink his sense of existence.

"I haven't written about it, but I used to post a few articles when I was in college." Xiao Wu was stunned for a few seconds and replied.

"That's enough." Jiang Qiubai nodded, "From now on, you are the plot planner, I will send you the request tomorrow, the difficulty is not high, just write the content of my request clearly." ”

Xiao Wu was smashed by this pie falling from the sky, one second she was still running around the company all day long, helping everyone to play the little assistant, and the next second, she was promoted to a plot planner with serious tasks.

Promotions and raises come so easily.

After a while, she jumped up and clenched her fists excitedly: "Thank you, boss!" I'll do it well! ”

What does it feel like to be suddenly promoted?

Xiao Wu: Thank you for the invitation, I'm happy now, I'm very happy, and I can't wait to work overtime overnight to prove that I can do it.

"Xiao Wang, you are responsible for maintaining the server, building a new framework for them, pay attention not to too much memory, and make sure that the game runs smoothly first." Jiang Qiubai turned his gaze to Xiao Wang.

"No problem, boss." Xiao Wang agreed.

"By the way, in terms of registration, ......" Jiang Qiubai paused, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, before saying: "Skip the registration step directly, and let players click on the webpage to play." ”

It belongs to feeding the rice directly to the mouth.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What about the account password? And how do you keep your game account safe if you do so? There were too many points to complain about, and Xiao Wang didn't know where to start for a while, so he only held back such a sentence.

"The account and password are made into a download file, and the player can download and save it directly to the desktop." Jiang Qiubai naturally wouldn't fail to consider this:

"Let players experience the game first, change the password and bind the mobile phone number, and put them later."

What are office workers most afraid of?

It's trouble.

The more information required for registration, the more likely they are to choose to give up because they find it troublesome.

This is true not only of them, but of most players. That's why many big game merchants will set up their own websites, so that players only need to register once to play all their games.

And players will be happy to try out their new games - no additional registration is required anyway, just check it out.

Jiang Qiubai didn't have this advantage, so he chose to directly let players experience the game first, and then let players fill in the information on the grounds of ensuring account security, so as to reduce players' resistance to the registration process.

"It works." After listening to Jiang Qiubai's explanation, Xiao Wang thought about it on his own behalf and was quickly convinced.

The eyes of the employees who were watching on the side also changed subtly when they looked at Jiang Qiubai.

I didn't expect the boss to really have two brushes this time.

"If you don't have to fill in the content, try to delete it as much as possible, and only keep the important information." Jiang Qiubai advised.

He's going to work hard from the starting lineβ€”

The first step to attract players starts with no registration, click to play.
