Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 622 Netizens' Strange Brain Supplements; Tian Moyun's Small Game Platform Plan

12 month 21 day.

[Thunder Game Company] announced the global sales of new products in the first month.

1275 units!

This is a very good result, but also a very regrettable result.

Well, that's for sure, because even if you look at the global market, it's quite rare for a smartphone to exceed [-] million in the first month of release.

Even giants such as [Super Hard Mo Luo], it is difficult to achieve tens of millions in the first launch, but it is a miracle that a new brand like [Thunder 2] can do it.

It's a pity because... out of stock!
It was out of stock in mid-December, and the production speed of the factory was not as fast as the sales speed, and scalpers appeared in some overseas countries.

It seems that the scalpers who can take advantage of this business opportunity do not only appear in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Because of the different sales strategies, it is difficult to control the market overseas like in China. Therefore, [Thunder Game Company] is helpless in the face of these scalpers.

Scalpers surfaced, further exacerbating the out-of-stock phenomenon, causing many people who were not interested at first to start paying attention, which can be regarded as an advertisement for [Thunder 2] from the side.

If it is not because of the shortage, the sales volume in the first month is likely to exceed 1500 million!
……

"It's already good."

Tian Moyun smiled: "If you can achieve tens of millions of sales in the first month, then as long as you can hold on and win as many well-known international masterpieces as possible, then... it will not be a problem to sell hundreds of millions of units a year. If Parent-child interaction and fitness games are well prepared, and then it wins the blockbuster advertisement of the World Games, maybe it is possible to sell [-] million units."

He is all too aware of the market potential of these two games.

A certain game manufacturer in the previous life relied on this thing to directly turn over the disadvantages and directly hang up and beat the originally arrogant opponent.

In the field of parent-child interaction and fitness sports, this is different from the strategy of traditional games to compete for limited market share, but to open up a new player market and bring more people who are not interested in games and stay away from them into the game circle.

A "Final Fantasy" has attracted many Two-dimensional consumers, but this influence is limited after all.

The overlap between Two-dimensional and the game circle is not low, and the number of new players that "Final Fantasy" can bring is not considerable.

Breakthrough growth can only be achieved by truly breaking through some irrelevant industry barriers.

It's as if Tian Moyun created the arcade mode in the first place, directly increasing the number of players by more than ten times, and took the opportunity to kill the Big Three.

[Thunder Game Company] is not without rivals.

Like [Super Hard Moluo], they seem to be a little embarrassed under the offensive of [Thunder 2], but after all, they are super giants with decades of background, extremely influential, and countless fans under their command. Many legendary IPs have been born. It is easy to defeat but difficult to kill.

And if you want to completely crush these super giants and let players all over the world recognize the dominance of [Thunder Game Company], you need to think more.

……

[Thunder Game Company] Tian Moyun also forwarded the comment after the announcement on Weibo:
"Global sales have exceeded [-] million. For [Thunder Games], this is a very good start. I hope that we can make persistent efforts and achieve better results in the future."

"Three more things to announce—"

"First."

“[Xingkong Technology Company] plans to hold game competitions in 05 mainstream countries around the world in the summer of 05, focusing on "Warcraft" and "Counter-Strike"; it plans to hold world-class games in [-] countries in the fall of [-] Game competition, all the top players in the world will compete on the same platform and compete with each other.”

"second."

"At the happy moment when [Thunder 2] first sold over [-] million, we also realized many of our shortcomings, and we will continue to improve service quality in the future;"

"In addition, considering the high cost of game development for new game consoles, and the high risk pressure of some manufacturers, [Thunder Game Company] will allocate 100 billion funds to establish the 'Game Developers Alliance'. For more information, please click here It will be announced at the [New Platform Game Symposium] in mid-January, and we look forward to the arrival of many manufacturers."

"third."

"[Thunder Game Company] will spend 1 million yuan to establish the [Little Designer Project], which is a brand new game development model."

“We will make a set of easy-to-use development engine/development template for this plan, and friends who are interested in making games can participate. This development model is very simple, and everyone can make games without professional skills. You don’t need to have any development experience, as long as you have creativity and brains, you can participate.”

“The purpose of [Little Designer Project] is to let more ideas enter the game industry, make more people fall in love with the game industry, everyone can play games, everyone can make games... This plan is mainly my Some personal ideas are still in the stage of experimentation, for more news, please follow [Thunder Game Official Weibo].”

……

three things!
The news of the global game competition has been mentioned more than once, and the meaning is different each time.

The first time it was mentioned, it was to increase overseas sales and perfectly copy the domestic competition mode to overseas, so as to encourage more potential players to take the initiative to experience this game.

The second mention is to increase the market share of computer systems.

This time, it directly announced the holding time of game competitions in twelve mainstream overseas countries.

Next time, it's time to start warming up the publicity and prepare for the competition.

It can also be seen from here that [Star Technology Company] attaches great importance to the World Championship.

"I have probably guessed the game competition time of the major mainstream countries in the world. If I am not wrong, it should be before June, and the final World Championship may be in September. There will be at least 6-9 months of buffer during the period. Expect."

A certain Weibo big V posted a dynamic prediction of the holding time.

Many netizens were puzzled and asked what was the basis for his guess?
Because the official side only gave a vague time, summer and autumn, but did not announce the exact month, it is likely that it has not yet been decided.

Netizens are puzzled that even the official hasn't confirmed it yet, so why does this guy make such a guess?

You can't just open your mouth and come!

"Of course my speculation has a basis."

The big V confidently continued to post: "Because it's stuck in the middle of June-September, it's a great thing to hold the world competition. The time, place and people are harmonious, and the focus of all netizens around the world will be attracted. , so as to maximize the influence of the world competition."

"Why do I say the right time, place and people? The reason is related to a major event that will happen during this period. You might as well think about it, what will happen during this period?"

Netizens were a little confused and didn't want to understand this.

In their view, [Xingkong Technology Company] held a high-profile world-class game competition, which is already a very big deal. Can there be other things that can compete with this one?
Can it even interfere with the influence of the world game competition?What is so awesome?Could it be that the thirteen mainstream countries in the world are about to go to war?

"It's the World Games!!!"

Another big V commented: "I understand what you mean, Boss Tian will most likely complete the national game competitions of twelve mainstream countries before the World Games, and then wait for the end of the World Games before opening the world Game competition... Think about it, the World Games is over, wouldn't the World Game Competition be able to attract a large number of viewers?"

World Games!
It is equivalent to the World Olympics of the previous Earth.

For such a big event, the influence is naturally unparalleled, and there are many, many countries involved.

After the World Games ends, the audience has nothing to discuss for a while, and they are likely to continue to pay attention to the World Game Competition. Even people who are not usually interested in games may become loyal audiences of the World Game Competition.

the reason is simple--

A national game competition is really a matter of a country.

And the world-class game competition is a contest between countries.

This is the same as Go and Chess.

Who cares if the number one player in the country loses to the second player in the country?
Can it be placed in the world domain?
If the country's number one chess player loses to a chess player from a certain cherry blossom country... then is this matter worth discussing?
World-class game competition, all players around the world compete fairly on the same platform. At this time, it is a country-to-country comparison and competition, not just the players themselves, nor the game circle itself, which is of great significance.

And if the game competition is held after the World Games... the effect will not be too obvious.

This is also a reasonable basis for the prediction made by the big V on Weibo.

"It turns out that there is such a thing, it's amazing."

"I really didn't put the two things together. I didn't expect that these two diametrically opposed industries would overlap."

"Is this supposed to be a joke?"

"Fart! Can Boss Tian's affairs be called rubbish? You should say, thanks to Boss Tian's attention, this World Games really has some merits."

"Upstairs...cough cough."

"One thing to say, holding the World Game Competition after the World Games should be very interesting."

"Yeah, and I also guessed that Boss Tian may have thought of more profound meanings, not just what we saw."

"The announcement of the prologue of the World Game Competition now may have something to do with [Thunder 2], maybe it's an advertisement on the side."

Almighty netizens have expressed their views on the matter.

……

at the same time.

Thunder Group Building No. [-], Tian Moyun's office.

"Awesome, amazing, to be able to keep up with my train of thought, this year's netizen is not easy."

Tian Moyun clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Following your train of thought?"

Su Qiong's eyes stayed on the screen for a few seconds, a little weird: "Are you sure it's them following your ideas, not you copying their ideas?"

Tian Moyun talked to her about the "World Games".

Su Qiong remembered very clearly that Tian Moyun never mentioned taking the opportunity to hold the "World Game Competition".

All this guy thinks about is how to combine the "World Games" with the new game he is thinking about, so as to add sparkle to [Thunder 2].

Tian Moyun has been thinking about this for the past few days, and has never considered the "World Game Competition" at all.

Now when I posted on Weibo, I casually mentioned a sentence, but in fact, I didn't really take it to heart.

The almighty netizens started to make fancy brains, mistakenly thinking that Tian Moyun's "borrowing" move was wonderful, and they all said that they had learned it, but in fact... this was a complete misunderstanding.

Others may not know this, so they will be easily fooled by Tian Moyun.

But what about Su Joon?

As a careful young lady who has been with him day and night for so many years, she knows very well what this guy is up to recently, and she doesn't have the heart to think so much at all.

certainly--

Tian Moyun did say that "game events in other countries" and "world-class game events" should be separated.

But the reason is not as profound as netizens think, it is just because he does not want to crash with the "World Games", resulting in insufficient traffic and halfway death.

But when netizens said this, Tian Moyun thought about it...

hiss!
It turns out that it can still be like this, cowhide cowhide!
……

"Don't worry about the details."

Tian Moyun waved his hand: "As long as you don't tell me, who will know? They will only think... Wow! Boss Tian deserves to be the youngest richest man in history. This kind of thinking is too amazing, beyond my generation's ability." ,I admire you."

He praised himself exaggeratedly, which seemed a little weird no matter how he looked at it.

"Let's talk about something else..."

Su Qiong was speechless.

Human beings, if they are shameless, can really be invincible in the world.

"What's going on with [Little Designer Project]?"

Su Qiong changed the subject: "I haven't heard you talk about it yet."

If Tian Moyun hadn't announced the plan on Weibo, Su Qiong really wouldn't have known about it.

She knew that this guy always had some unconstrained ideas, so she was very curious about this thing... There are no restrictions, no thresholds, everyone can make games.

is it possible?

The longer Su Qiong stayed in this industry, the more he knew that developing games was definitely not an easy task.

The original 8-bit games needed to pack so much game content in the 64KB/128KB space, which was a very difficult challenge for game industry workers.

This is why "Super Mario" was regarded as a classic in the first place. This game seems simple, but others really couldn't make it, at least at the time.

There are so many little details in Super Mario.

For example:

Mario wears a hat because it can be a hassle to style and show off your hair.

Mario's big black beard is because the resolution at that time was too low, in order to improve the recognition.

In order to save memory, the clouds and grass use the same module, but the colors are different.

Of course, the most commendable thing is the subtlety of the code of "Mario".

The materials in the game are extremely limited, and the code instructions are used to piece together the materials, so as to achieve the miracle of creating 64 levels in a 32KB capacity.

And that's just 8-bit games... that's all.

Later 16-bit games, 32-bit games, 64-bit games, and from traditional stand-alone to coin mode, network mode, from game consoles to computer terminals, mobile terminals...

What every change brings is learning from scratch.

The game industry is changing rapidly, programmers are becoming more and more popular, and their salaries are getting higher and higher, but the challenges they face have also dissuaded a large number of people.

Su Qiong is very clear——

Making games is definitely a very complicated and professional thing, and this industry is definitely not something that laymen can easily touch.

All kinds of knowledge in game design, various professional skills in game programming, and difficult codes are even more textbooks than textbooks.

Under such circumstances, how can we achieve the concept of "everyone can be a designer"?

……

"I think your thinking about the game may have fallen into some misunderstandings."

Tian Moyun thought for a while and explained: "Video games are called the ninth art in foreign countries, but this is just to put money on their faces. In the final analysis, the attributes of video games are entertainment commodities. Entertainment, business Sex, that's at the heart of it."

"Let's not talk about commerciality, let's talk about entertainment first."

"Entertainment goods, this category is very broad, pop songs, TV dramas, movies, best-selling novels, video games...all of them are mainly entertainment."

"But we all know what is the value of these entertainment products? They are down-to-earth, low-threshold, innovative, and exciting content that can resonate with consumers."

"Take the game as an example—"

"No game in this world is perfect. The masterpiece in your mind may be full of poisonous points to others, and you may not even want to take a second look at other people's recommendations."

"It's not a game with good picture quality, good special effects, strong combat feel, and rich gameplay, it will definitely win the welcome of all players."

"If this is the case, then pixel games, low-quality niche games, card games, turn-based games, heavy krypton games... should have been extinct long ago."

"Games can be presented in many forms, and the mainstream market is not all games."

"The [Little Designer Project] I proposed is to add fresh vitality to the game market and enrich the structure and competitiveness of the game market."

"And... let more people participate in this industry, so that the game industry can bring value to more people."

"Only in this way can the value of games to society be reflected, not just economic value."

Tian Moyun talked eloquently.

He felt that what he said was already very clear, and Su Qiong's mind must be able to understand it easily, after all, what this girl is best at is drawing inferences from one instance.

However, when he saw Su Qiong's bewildered face, Tian Moyun realized that he seemed to have overestimated Su Qiong.

"Please explain clearly."

Su Qiong frowned slightly: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"..."

Tian Moyun was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "It's actually very simple. I opened up a new small game market for the game industry, and made a [small game development engine], the kind that designers can operate like a fool... In this way, We can let more ideas enter the game industry, and then we can get inspiration from them and make more good games.”

"You can understand this plan as a new game experiment base..."

"As for the operation method, it is the same as the online novel platform established by [Thunder Magazine]."

"The creator submits the product to apply for a contract. After the contract is signed, the platform provides promotion channels and profit channels, and the two parties share the profits."

"Because the production cost of this type of small game is very low, one person can easily produce it, and the design inspiration is the most important thing, so... this signing method is perfect."

"I want to build such a small game platform into a model similar to online literature and online live broadcast."

"Then, we can provide many people with the opportunity to choose a freelance job, provide a certain number of jobs for the society, promote social development and economic development, and thus continue to slow down the national prejudice against video games."

"So, do you understand?"
