Chapter 15 Change strategy and enter the game (recommendation ticket requested)

Today, Shen Yi's revenue exceeds [-] thanks to his new image as Spark Computer Butler.

With such a huge number of users, the payment rate is almost one in two thousand.

Although he made money, he felt that something was wrong.

Because the money he earned was too little, it was far from meeting his expectations.

Even if my bank card has been receiving money.

This time the software is free, but the image charging method does not work.

Even if there are sales, if you calculate the follow-up income, it will definitely continue to shrink, so even if you sell [-] a day, it is still too little.

At this time, he also understood why Zou Hongwei wanted to make money like that, because few people would buy it if he followed the usual routine.

So this time, there should be something wrong with his strategy.If you want to make big money, you need to change your strategy.

Anyway, Shen Yi is busy every day, even though on the surface he and his netizens are crying about how tired they are.

Netizens mostly believed it to be true.

His friends didn't doubt him either.

But in fact, he sleeps, plays games, and listens to music every day, and his head is almost flattened by sleep.

So besides Spark Computer Manager, he has to find other things to do, otherwise it would be a waste of the world's top C++ level!
This is a month, and it must be squeezed out to maximize its benefits.

Making games is good, especially those small but interesting games that can be sold individually for less than 10 yuan.

Anyway, these small games can be produced in batches, and he can make five or six games a day.

Then, after the Xinghuo computer manager is updated, a game zone is opened, and games are sold in it, and it is said that someone else made it, and a game zone is made here.

Anyway, with his technology, making a game partition doesn’t take up much space.

So the game zone will go with the next major version update.

What practical functions should be updated in the next major version?

Shen Yi turned on his opponent, 720 Security Guard, and immediately found the answer.

Update computer optimization in the next major version!
For example, it is recommended to turn off the functions that affect the startup, optimize the memory when playing games, and identify the computer configuration.

In this way, more users can be covered, and it may be promoted when it is installed in the future.

Just do it, he spent two hours to complete this module, and then started to make his own game zone.

This game area can even be split into an independent software in the future.

Now there is no program and algorithm in the world that can stump him.

At this level, he only needs code to create extremely gorgeous special effects.

However, most people's computers may not be able to carry this kind of program that only uses codes and does not use materials.

So for usability, he uses the method of part material + part process generation to make special effects, which takes up less memory and is very beautiful.

He started to use C++ to make some simple games, but it was difficult for others to imitate them.

The first thing to do is stand-alone mini-games.

Shen Yi knows a lot about games, after all, it used to be his main business.

He has witnessed many miracles.

Especially for some small teams, who have carefully crafted explosive games that have been produced for several years.

Martial arts games such as Taiwu Picture Scroll and Guigu Bahuang have sales exceeding [-] million yuan, and there is only one programmer in a team of less than ten people.

In space exploration games like Space Engine, the generated celestial bodies have strict astronomical data, and the game screen is very shocking.

There is only one developer, this person is an astronomer and programmer, and this person has been working for more than ten years.

A space construction game created by five or six people like the Dyson Sphere Project, only five people
These examples show that making a good game has nothing to do with the amount of assets.

As long as you do it with your heart, players will definitely buy it.

He thought for a long time, and finally chose the most suitable game to test the waters - Temple Run.

This game is very easy to make, and the plot is relatively monotonous, that is, a person keeps running on the road and has to cross various obstacles.

The image of the characters can also be made into Guangling, which can increase some interaction.

But this game is 3D.

He can now do a simple 2D try.

2D games are much easier to make than 3D games.

So use this game to test the waters first, and develop a few more games a day, so you can cast a wide net to catch more fish and quickly accumulate game users.

If he has the ability to produce several big works, this game zone may even become the domestic steam.

Without thinking too much, Shen Yi started making games.

He first reduced the image of Guangling, and after making the animation of running, he started to make the grid of fleeing.

He just started to find that there is a big problem.

The 2D version of Temple Run can't be done at all!

First of all, if the picture is 2D, it can only look like a cartoon after it is made.

The left and right transitions are very rigid.

If it were forcibly made, it would be a completely inferior game, completely inferior to 3D Temple Escape.

This game can only become popular if it is made into 3D.

However, he is not very proficient in 3D modeling software such as 3Dmax and Maya. If he were to build a 3D model now, he would be avoiding his strengths and exploiting his weaknesses.

Although skin images can be outsourced, 3D models are very expensive to outsource. Characters, scenes, and props can all be 3D.

And with the current technology, he doesn't think outsourcing can do much better.

It may not be able to pay back even if it is made!

So he abandoned the plan.

He chose to make a 2D game like Super Mario.

Save time and effort, it doesn’t take too long, just make it this time next week.

His plan is to play sea tactics, and he will make more excellent games in the future, so he will use this to practice first.

So this game has the concept of "escape".

Since it is an escape, there must be a big villain chasing and killing the protagonist!
Shen Yi looked at the 720 security guard icon on the desktop, and had already selected the big BOSS to hunt down the protagonist.

You are the one!

In this game, you definitely can't just paste the opponent's name directly.

Then it's called a red-haired ghost!

And the villain also needs a reason to hunt down the protagonist.

Shen Yi had an idea. 720 suppressed him because he had touched his cheese.

There were many thoughts in his heart, and he immediately made up a story:
The story happened a long time ago.

In a distant eastern country, there is a monster that kills, kills, and plunders, and robs the emperor of his most precious treasure.

The emperor sent Guangling, the most powerful and youngest swordsman in the country, to slaughter the monsters and retrieve the treasures.

The handsome boy Guangling was ordered to go to the monster's lair across thousands of miles.

After a battle of wits and courage, Guangling finally got back the emperor's treasure.

Just as he was about to return to his country to return to his life, he found it in the monster's memory crystal.

This monster is only instigated by the real mastermind behind it.

The mastermind behind the scenes uses the hands of monsters to rob treasures from various places, and then wants to monopolize them to realize his huge plan.

But his plan was disrupted, so he started chasing and killing Guangling frantically.

Because the body is imprisoned, it can only send its own men to hunt down and kill the boy in the field it can control.

Guangling became stronger and stronger as he ran all the way and confronted the monsters. Not only did he not die in the end, but he returned to the demon's nest and killed the mastermind behind it.

Not bad script, just follow this as the background.

He began to arrange various obstacles on the way of Guangling's escape, as well as traps that could kill the pursuers.

There are also various NPCs on the road, who can talk to the protagonist and tell about the various cruel deeds of the red-haired ghost.

As well as the taverns, medical clinics on the road, and the mysterious grandpa.

Well, the playability is quite high.

In the early stage, I slowly explored the monster's lair, and then defeated the monster to take the treasure. After being discovered by the red-haired ghost, the game changed to escape.

After fleeing for a certain period of time, when you are strong enough, you will come back directly and take away all the treasures that the red-haired ghost stole.

Thinking about it, the game becomes very complicated.

Although complex, the playability is still very high.

Not enough material?
Buy it directly, buy it on the material website, anyway, it costs less money.

A set of 2D materials can only be bought for a few hundred.

Still can't find it?

He directly took off the earphones of Du Yingjie and Liu Guyu, assigned them tasks, 10 yuan a picture, and sent the PNG picture to Shen Yi before paying the bill.

There is 10 yuan for a single order, which is equivalent to a day's meal money, and these tasks are not too difficult.

Mostly small things like clay pots, cobwebs, campfires and the like.

With a little drawing, it can be completed in ten to twenty minutes, and a few more orders will pay for a week's meals.

"Brother Shen, is your studio going to make a game?" asked the roommates.

They all know that Shen Yi himself is responsible for the framework design and the code name "Yi Yang" who runs the bank.

And they never doubted that Shen Yi had those friends, because if Shen Yi developed a piece of software by himself, how awesome would it be?
Although he is powerful, it seems that he has not reached this level, right?

And sometimes they would see Shen Yi's friends sending him messages (actually, those were sent to him by Shen Yi himself).

"Yes, the design girl Shen Du over there couldn't survive it anymore and asked me for help again. I'm also very busy with work here, so I leave it to you."

They believed Shen Yi's words, anyway, if they had the money to get it, why not do it?

What kind of game is this playing? Let's go PS, let's go to the drawing board!
Shen Yi immediately started playing games.

This is the first time to stay up all night after time travel, but don't be afraid, the whole dormitory will stay up for me!

Because programming came easily to him, he focused all his energy on plot design.

He has a rich imagination, so this game is almost his original creation.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, he finally completed most of the game's framework.

The roommates also took money to get their hands dirty.

A smile rose from the corner of his mouth.
