Game designer: I am making games, not charity

Starting from ten o'clock, the data of Platinum "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been skyrocketing!
Due to the initial more than 300 million, it quickly rose to 500 million, 600 million, 700 million...

It didn't take long to cross the 1,000 million mark.

The rally was fast and furious.

It directly opened up a large portion of Goose Factory "Xianxia Simulator", which had remained flat overnight.

To the back, even surpassed the opponent by nearly 5 times!
A staggering number of nearly 1,500 million.

Mr. Ding and the senior executives of the pig farm stared at the data jumping on the computer screen, with dazed eyes and shocked expressions.

This... What is the situation? !

Ever since Platinum's game data began to increase, they all watched this crazy rise in silence.

Just watched it for nearly half an hour.

At this time, the entire meeting room was silent for a while.

Everyone was caught in shock and envy.

At this time, Platinum Games, the number of users of this game has exceeded 1,500 million.

And it's still growing rapidly.

Such a terrifying rise really made Boss Ding and the others find it unbelievable.

This is an astonishing number and growth rate that they have never seen since they have been making games for so many years.

Under such a growth rate of the number of users.

Even a large-scale game company like Goose Factory was completely crushed by it, like cannon fodder.

And more importantly.

This has been officially live for several hours.

It was growing normally before, why did it suddenly grow like crazy as soon as 10 o'clock came?

What is the reason for the platinum game to rise so rapidly in a short period of time?
Everyone was puzzled.

At this time, in the office, an executive got up with his mobile phone and said, "Mr. Ding, I'm really sorry, I want to ask for leave for a while. My son didn't bring the key when he came home from school. I'll go back and open the door for him."

At this time, Mr. Ding's thoughts were all on the data of Platinum "Legend of Sword and Fairy", so he nodded in agreement without thinking too much.

Long after the executive left.

Suddenly, someone seemed to have guessed something, slapped his head suddenly, and said in surprise: "I know!"

Mr. Ding frowned and turned his head: "What do you know?"

The man pointed to the executive who had just asked for leave and said, "Mr. Ding, do you think there is such a possibility that the reason why the data of this game will skyrocket after ten o'clock is because those who study by themselves at night The students started playing after school?"

Upon hearing this, Boss Ding also came to his senses.

Yes, compared to vr games, the biggest advantage of the computer platform is that it is convenient and cheap.

The vr game needs to be matched with the vr game cabin to play.

However, this kind of game cabin is expensive to build, and the price is naturally higher. In the hands of players, it is often 10,000+.

Naturally, only those young and middle-aged people who already have a stable income can afford such things.

And those teenagers who are still in school, they are also the main force of the game, but because of limited conditions, they can only play games on the computer.

And as far as the point card price is concerned.

The goose factory's price of 30 yuan an hour is obviously not suitable for teenagers.

Therefore, to a large extent, Goose Factory's games eliminated most of the young students who did not have enough spending power as soon as they were launched.

This is also one of the important reasons why Platinum Games was able to quickly overtake Goose Factory in terms of user growth and was far ahead.

Looking at the data on the screen, Mr. Ding secretly began to analyze it in his heart.

"Well, Platinum's stamina is indeed very strong, and it has captured the student population. The data is indeed good, but the price of their point cards is too low. Even if the number of users reaches 2,000 million, the money they earn is definitely not as much as that of Goose Factory. of."

When Mr. Ding said this, the executives around nodded their heads one after another. Indeed, the price of point cards is flawed.

Selling one copy by others is equivalent to selling 30 copies for you.

How do you fight with people like this?

Could it be that your number of users can reach 30 times that of others?
Mr. Dante didn't say anything dead, and added a sentence lightly: "Generally, after 12 o'clock, the user growth rate of most games will slow down, and now there is not much time left.

Let's work harder and see what happens to these two games by then. "

These executives in the company naturally dare not go against the president's wishes.

They all nodded, trying to hold back their sleepiness, and continued to watch the two Xianxia games fighting on the screen.

Time passed little by little.

Platinum figures are still rising.

By 12:30 in the evening, Platinum Games' data had reached 3,600 million.

Moreover, by this time, the number of users is still rising!
Mr. Ding and a group of executives looked at the astonishing number and the high arc in front of them.

Finally completely dumbfounded.

3,000 million!

What a terrible stat!

In just two hours, the number of users has reached 3000 million!
And more importantly, this offline game of Platinum Games still maintained a rapid growth in the number of users.

It's almost as if there are countless users waiting to play their game.

On the other hand, according to the data from the goose factory, the growth rate has slowed down since 11:30 p.m.

When it was almost 12 o'clock, it had completely come to a standstill.

After 12 o'clock, it even slipped slightly.

By 12:30 now, its data has even dropped to around 230 million.

The growth rate of the number of users like Goose Factory is normal.

After all, Goose Factory has been promoting it very well before, and it has completely let all potential users know about this game.

This will naturally push the data very high at the beginning of the game.

Logically speaking, this offline game from Platinum Games should be the same.

But judging from the current situation... the data performance of the two games is completely different!
After a long while in a daze.

In the conference room, a senior executive suddenly said with an incredulous face: "The data seems to be upwards of 5,000 million.

Isn't Platinum Game Company going to let the whole country play his games? "

The person next to him was awakened by these words, and immediately nodded in agreement: "It's really possible!"

"Shouldn't there be a game with 1 million players? Since the game industry appeared, no game has reached it in so many years..."

The admiration of the employees also made Mr. Ding wake up from the shock, and he immediately made a decision: "We will add another [-]% to the budget for computer games in the later stage!"

Other executives agreed, too.

"That's right, moreover, the games produced by Platinum Games are extremely rich in content.

And such a rich content, it is very difficult to carry it on the VR platform.

Funding is also huge.So if we want to make good content, we have to make games on the computer side first. "

"Well, the situation of the previous "True Legend" was actually a miscalculation of the platform, which caused problems and caused problems in our capital chain.

In the future, let's be a computer platform! "

"Platinum is really powerful, we need to learn from them, I heard that President Chen came up with some of Platinum's game ideas, what kind of person is he who can come up with so many interesting things. "

Listening to the executives' comments, Mr. Ding nodded with a serious expression: "Okay, then it's decided like this. In the past two years, another major direction of our company's follow-up is to develop towards the computer side!
Of course, the VR side cannot be lost either! "

……

At this moment, in the city of M, on a remote street.

A young man in a denim jacket, with dark circles under his eyes, came out of a VR experience hall.

His name is Wang Miao, and he is a casual worker at a nearby construction site. He takes over work whenever he has work on weekdays. When there is no work, he will go to the VR experience hall to play games for a few hours.

While yawning, he took out the deflated wallet in his pocket, trying to get some change to buy a pack of cigarettes.

But looking down, there was only one steel coin left inside.

Wang Miao couldn't help cursing inwardly: "Fuck, these "Xianxia Simulator" are too expensive! It's only been playing for four hours, and it costs hundreds of dollars to add cards and internet. It’s impossible to eat dirt.”

He had no choice but to curse and go to the subway station and take the subway back.

As soon as I got on the train, when I turned my head, I saw a huge poster next to the station.

[The online version of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is officially launched today. It is a platinum product, computer-operated, and you can play for an hour for only one yuan! 】

Seeing this poster, Wang Miao's eyes suddenly lit up.

Play for an hour for a dollar?And it only needs to be operated by a computer, and even the Internet fee of the VR experience hall is saved!

It's a great deal too!

In the past, because he had been playing VR games all the time, he was naturally not too interested in computer games.

However, VR games, whether it is a game room or a point card, are very expensive.

People like him who don't have their own game room can only go to the experience hall to play.

Although the threshold is low, you don't need to spend hundreds of thousands at once, but there are still some people who can't afford it.

Just like today, Goose Factory's Xianxia game just launched, and he didn't enjoy it at all.

But in the end, Wang Miao withdrew her gaze.

After all, he has been playing VR games all the time, and he also looks down on computer games in his heart.

I feel that playing games on the screen will lack a lot of immersion and graphics.

Wang Miao hurried home by subway, and after washing, she lay on the bed, ready to sleep, but found that she couldn't fall asleep.

As soon as I closed my eyes, the picture of the previous game appeared in my mind.

After more than 10 minutes.

Wang Miao opened her eyes and took out the computer from the briefcase.

Search the official website of Platinum Games, find "Legend of Sword and Fairy", and download it directly!
"Although computer games are bad... But it's better than nothing to play."

He really couldn't sleep, so he decided to try "Legend of Sword and Fairy" instead of Goose Factory's "Xianxia Simulator".

To pass the night time.

Soon, the game is installed.

He registers directly, logs in and goes online!

enter the game!
