Genius Game Planning

Chapter 301 Good News

Xie Chunjiao whipped up a book and threw it on his head, "I'm not your game operator, I only care about the market. On the operator side, I can give you some references, directions for compensation, and how to compensate in detail. , can you still let me decide?"

"That's right." Liu Neng said with a chuckle. In fact, the problem just now is indeed a big problem.

The hearts of those players who participated in the event cannot be chilled, so it is unrealistic to revert or recover those items that have been obtained.I can only pinch my nose and admit that I am unlucky, but if I think about it carefully, what is so unlucky?These are some virtual props, and they are given to the player.

But it will also cause other impacts. For example, if the item itself is extremely rare, but due to a mistake during this event, it will cause a bad street, and the combat power of the player will increase exponentially, which will easily lead to the collapse of the combat power of the game character. .This is a very serious matter, not just at the operational level, it is related to the operation cycle and life cycle of the game.

If it is not handled properly, it is easy to cause the player's combat power to soar at a certain stage so that there is no pressure on the subsequent levels and dungeons.

This involves the flow experience again. If the player has been clearing the level or the dungeon without any pressure, it will easily lead to a decline in feelings and will be persuaded to quit.

Ordinary small companies do not have effective numerical planning, and lack enough courage to modify the gameplay in a large area. They can only take back those items with overflowing combat power from players by reverting or recycling items. Of course, this method of handling Naturally, it is also very disgusting, which will cause a large number of players to leave.

All in all, a thankless practice.

However, there are also companies that do a good job. On the one hand, when the next version is updated, the effectiveness of these props/equipment will be castrated. After all, one version after another, players will accept things like castration of equipment more or less.Do it skillfully, and the players don't actually say anything, and then take advantage of the trend to launch some new props and equipment to complete the replacement of old equipment.

At the same time, when replacing new equipment, a series of adjustments will be made to the advanced dungeon levels to increase the difficulty and make the flow experience better; in addition, some maps, levels and dungeons can also be added to enrich the game content—— Of course, these new additions are naturally more difficult.

This is equivalent to accelerating the pace of opening the game's content during the two version updates, which is a fairly normal solution that is acceptable to all parties.

The only thing that is hard to do is the project team. It might have been a 3-month version, but now the two versions have to be updated in 3 months.

"Don't talk about this, let's say, this is bad news? Isn't this good news?" Liu Neng said slightly.

"That depends on who it is for. It's good news for us, but it's bad news for Qicai Technology. I've heard that layoffs have already begun over there, and the first to bear the brunt is the "Heroes of the Tang Dynasty" project team." of those people."

"Hey..." Liu Neng let out a long sigh.

Xie Chunjiao rubbed her temples helplessly, "Why are you sighing here? Their project fell through, shouldn't you be the happiest?"

Liu Neng said bitterly, "Those who don't know me say what I want, and those who know me say I am worried."

"Boring." Xie Chunjiao described his current state very accurately.

"So, what's the real good news? Wait a minute, you're talking about bad news to others. Is the good news also good news for others?"

"The good news is that during the half month of Chinese New Year, "Minecraft" exploded abroad. Liu Neng, you really have it. How do you know that this game will definitely explode?" Xie Chunjiao asked.

"Of course I know the game I made. But what you mean by explosion, do you mean how many copies have been sold?"

"That's right, in half a month, foreign sales have soared by 300 million, surpassing domestic sales, and now the total sales are close to 600 million sets." Xie Chunjiao's expression was beaming with joy.

He raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Only 600 million?"

"Can you pretend to be a little surprised?" Xie Chunjiao started to frowned this time, "Do you know what 600 million sales means?"

"It probably means that the ranking in the history of game sales should be in the top [-]?"

"That's right, the top [-], and a name left in history. It is definitely a feat that has never been done before." Xie Chunjiao is in the market and is very sensitive to these ranking data.The main reason is that this ranking can definitely be used as a fuss and publicized at home and abroad.

"I think, wait and see, maybe it will be No.1 in a while." Liu Neng didn't care.

"Do you really think you can sell hundreds of millions of sales?"

"No, I think it can sell [-] million or even [-] million sales." He is still full of confidence.

"Boss, are you overconfident?" The buddy next to him muttered.In fact, it is the relationship between the employee and the boss. The relationship between the two is quite good. At the beginning, Alexander gradually got used to it, and often eat and chat together.

"Of course it's not overconfident." Liu Neng said, "I've seen the progress of the games that the foreign devils are playing now, and it can be said that they are still too shallow, and a lot of content has not been played. They seem to be much slower than our domestic pioneers. .They have never touched the various transactions, hell, the end, and redstone in it. Now they are just mining and trying to be a miner."

"However, sister Xie, now I think it's time to advertise, especially in Europe, especially the young people. These people have never seen the world, let them see more good games. By the way, don’t foreign games have a grading system? Our game grading system is calculated as 12+, so don’t worry about promoting it.”

This is a great advantage. This kind of cube game looks like a younger game, and there is no bloody violence or soft pornography in it, so it is indeed suitable for children to play.

And the very hardcore gameplay in it, even adults can't play it well.

Minecraft is one of those rare games that people of all ages can play.

"OK, I got it." Xie Chunjiao said, "But I think you are still too conceited. Now there is the highest sales volume, and the record is more than 2 million, which is the total sales volume of multiple games. What do you want for a single game? Selling tens of millions of copies is already close to invincible, and you are still so ambitious."

"Hey..." Liu Neng was noncommittal, "By the way, there is one more thing that you need to organize."

Xie Chunjiao: "What's the matter?"

"I checked with Lin Haixia a few days ago. It won't take long for "DotA2" to be completed and ready to go online. This is very important and should be the top priority. Moreover, related events must also be arranged. Make good connections with Feiliu Chuangyu, WCC and our DCC need to be organized; you may need to cooperate, overseas competition operations are also busy..."
