City: Become a principal from junior college!

Chapter 497 Did you really kill the penguin?
The popularity of "Evolution Mountain and Sea" has caused huge waves all over the world.

But in the gaming circle, it is undoubtedly the most influential.

It was as if a depth charge had been dropped.

Because "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" is so popular that it is so unreasonable.

And because the gameplay is rich enough, it attracts too many player groups.

This resulted in a decrease in the number of online active players, game time, and payment data for most games on the entire network on the first day that "Evolution Mountain and Sea" was launched.

The more popular the game, the greater the impact.

For example, for pesticides, the number of online users dropped by a full 20% on this day.

Even the original person couldn't avoid it, and the number of people online dropped by 15%.

This is definitely a fatal blow to mobile games.

After all, most mobile games rely on maintaining user stickiness.

If a user has not played a game for a day or two, he or she may just be too lazy to play and delete the game and quit.

The three major players in the mobile gaming industry have all been affected to varying degrees.

The entire mobile game industry seems to be undergoing a major reshuffle.

The executives of various companies were also at a loss for a while.

They pay attention to the development progress of their friends every day and compete with each other.

If you make RPG games, I will also invest in research and development.

If you play shooting games, I will follow suit.

You make a battle royale game, and I’ll make one too.

In short, the competition is extremely fierce.

There is victory and defeat for each other.

But they never thought that they would be stunned by a school now.

Is this considered a dimensionality reduction attack?

Seeing the growing popularity of "Evolution of Mountains and Seas", Yu Sanjia couldn't sit still.

If this continues, I'm afraid the game turnover will be cut in half directly.

No one can bear such a price.

They analyzed it carefully the day Evolution Mountain and Sea went online.

In fact, the quality of the game is not top-notch.

It's not a perfect game either.

There are many bugs in the game. For example, the pets in the game sometimes get stuck with each other and have overlapping textures.

Moreover, the AI ​​logic of pets is not perfect. Sometimes players have high hopes for the strongest pets, but they will suddenly start shopping while fighting monsters or during PVP, watching the enemies beat their owners to death...

Many other problems were also discovered.

But these are harmless and can be fixed with subsequent updates.

The main reason why this game is so popular is that it is fun, has rich gameplay, and has a high degree of freedom, so you can play it however you want.

This has given practitioners in the entire gaming industry a lot of thinking.

Today's game industry is either shoddy or violent and cool numerical mobile games.

Or there are various top-notch single-player games with plot depth and picture quality.

But many game production companies have forgotten the original intention of the game in the first place.

That's fun...

If the game isn't fun, what's the point of having stronger numbers?
If the game isn't fun, what's the point of looking good?
The game produced by Star Game Company has grasped one point, which is to add up all the fun and interesting elements to allow players to enjoy the game happily.

Besides the fact that the game itself is fun.

Not to mention that this game doesn’t even have any payment points.

Just selling skins, I still have an attitude of whether I want to buy or not, and there is no pop-up window for the skin when I start the game.

This made every mobile game company gnash their teeth and call Xingchen Students a waste of resources.

If only they had made this game.

They will definitely design a lot of charging points.

You will be given junk pets at the beginning, and you will not be able to catch good pets in the wild.

Want various mythical beast pets?

Then you have to open the box.

99 once, no guarantee yet.

Obtaining a mythical beast is not enough. To evolve a mythical beast, you need to buy evolution stones. Evolving alone is not enough. You also have to sell some pet skill books...

For such a game with rich gameplay, there are too many krypton points that can be added.

And with such a high popularity, it only took three days to earn 100 million US dollars?
If this game is put in their hands and it costs 100 million US dollars a day, then they have restrained themselves.

By charging only skin money, you are definitely picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.

No practitioner in their right mind would be able to do this.

But the problem is, that’s what Xingchen students did.

They didn't even open a monthly card, just selling skins.

This has caused various mobile game manufacturers to be particularly embarrassed.

Originally, everyone was bad and greedy, no one was better than anyone else, and the players had no choice, so of course it didn't matter.

But it's different now.

Star Games is so conscientious.

It just makes them so heartless.

This will accelerate player dissatisfaction and lead to player churn.

Forced by helpless circumstances, each company could only resort to various countermeasures.

For example, reduce some krypton gold points.

For example, double the benefits.

Another example is to reduce the difficulty of props that originally required players to be crazy.

As for the plot update that was originally planned to be released later, the content update was also updated to Wanjiawan in advance.

Just to prevent players from being robbed by "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" and to keep their base.

Basically every game manufacturer is following up on this operation.

This has made countless domestic players clearly feel that the mobile games they are playing have become more conscientious than before.

It was originally priced at krypton gold, but it was at least half cheaper.

Ingredients that would have taken several days to prepare were given away for free.

And why does all this happen.

As long as you use your brain for a little while, you can figure it out.

It's because of Star Academy's new game.

Because of the launch of Xingchen’s new game, domestic game companies have become conscientious.

This undoubtedly allows Xingchen’s new game to gain higher attention and praise.

After all, so far, no game has had such a huge impact on the entire gaming industry.

Star Academy is really awesome...

……

However, mobile games do not only depend on game quality.

It also depends on the subsequent operational level.

If the operation level is insufficient, it is even easy for good intentions to turn into bad things.

For example, some games are suddenly linked with celebrities, but the stars are not liked and the game overturns...

Some games have activities designed to encourage turnover.

As a result, players felt humiliated by the plan and quit the game one after another.

Therefore, various game companies secretly poked at the preparatory project team and prepared to follow suit.

I have also been looking forward to Xingchen Game Company's insufficient operational level and more mistakes.

If this disgusts players, it will give them an opportunity to take advantage of it in the future.

Take away the players of "Evolving Mountains and Seas".

However, what they didn't expect was that the operation of "Evolution Mountain and Sea" was beyond imagination.

Over the course of the next month, there were only two updates. The first update adds anti-addiction reminders.

Needless to say, minors’ play time is restricted. This is a legal requirement.

At the same time, a play time reminder has been added, and players will be reminded every hour.

At the same time, important time points such as ten o'clock in the evening, twelve o'clock and meal time will also be reminded once.

Mainly because the game is so fun and players are so obsessed with it.

If you don't remind me, you can really play all day long, and you won't notice the passage of time at all.

In the second update, two new exotic beasts were updated.

At the same time, it was announced that the New Year skin event will be launched soon.

For the twelve most popular beasts, limited edition skins for the Year of the Dragon are released.

And announced the price of the card pool.

For the national server, if you draw RMB 99 once, you will definitely get a set of New Year skins.

And you will no longer be able to draw skins you already own.

And there are no other junk skins in the card pool.

In other words, even if you are a rich person, if you plan to draw all the limited skins, you will only need to spend less than 1,200 yuan at most.

This is simply an outrageous level of conscience.

In most mobile games, a thousand dollars is just a splash, and you may not be able to get what you want.

In the Star Game, everything is covered.

This makes all major game companies sigh more and more.

Is there such a card pool?
You guys, will Star Game Company make money? If not, let me do it!
In short, the operation of "Evolving Mountains and Seas" is very stable.

The update focuses on player experience and game content.

Skin supplement.

The conscience is simply scary.

The players were also shocked...

Regardless of whether it is a domestic or foreign mobile game, the price of gold is actually very outrageous.

This has led many domestic and foreign players who are accustomed to forcing themselves to take the initiative to persuade Xingchen Game Company to provide more skins and make more money.

Otherwise, they would be a little embarrassed if such a good game could not be recharged for much money.

……

However, perhaps it is precisely because "Evolution Mountain and Sea" has maintained restraint on krypton gold.

There isn't even any excess skin.

On the contrary, it attracted more player groups.

Because the player base is large enough, even if it is just to buy some cheap skins.

It also allowed "Evolving Mountains and Seas" to remain at the top of the sales list for a whole month.

Due to the serious loss of players, various opponents were forced to start reducing their krypton gold points.

As a result, the gap with "Evolution Mountain and Sea" is getting wider and wider.

So, when the time came to February 15th.

It’s time for universities to be on vacation.

The first month’s revenue of “Evolving Mountains and Seas” is officially released.

Global revenue reached $1.2 billion.

The number of registered players worldwide has exceeded one billion.

It directly broke the record set by previous mobile games.

When the revenue was announced, the entire gaming industry was shaken again.

Game manufacturers who are looking forward to the overturn of Xingchen Game Company's operations no longer dream about it.

Star Game Company is really too stable.

And focus on content, not krypton money.

How could such a company fail?

At this moment, major games no longer expect Star Academy to overturn, but have new ideas.

If you can't beat it, just join.

The production of the mobile game "Evolving Mountains and Seas" has made everyone in the industry clearly understand the level of Star Game students.

Such excellent employees are exactly what they need.

They have already begun to collect information and plan to start recruiting Xingchen students before they graduate.

The monthly salary offered basically starts at 50,000, and some can even reach 100,000.

It’s confusing. Is this really the treatment that fresh graduates get?
The most dazzling one is undoubtedly Pei Qian, the planner of "Evolution of Mountains and Seas". He was also the planner of "Oops", which was a hit in China and South Korea.

The popularity of "Evolving Mountains and Seas" has directly made Pei Qian the hottest new game star in the country, no one!

All major mobile game companies have made huge profits over the years and are not short of money at all.

What they lack is talent and good projects that can make money.

An excellent planner like Pei Qian naturally came into their sight.

There is a mobile game company that directly offered Pei Qian an annual salary of tens of millions and vice president treatment.

There is no rush to ask Pei Qian to come out. Pei Qian can safely complete his internship at Xingchen Game Company and then join the company after graduation.

It can be seen that Pei Qian today attaches great importance to Pei Qian from major game companies.

With such a big recruitment move in the game industry, students who are about to graduate from other colleges are naturally envious.

But graduates of Star Academy have this kind of treatment, and they have long been accustomed to it.

I can't envy you at all.

……

And in Star Academy.

Pei Qian really didn't respond to the enthusiasm for him from outside companies.

As for the annual salary of tens of millions, it does sound very exciting.

But Pei Qian carefully calculated that if he agreed, he would lose money.

Not to mention anything else, in the first month of "Evolution of Mountains and Seas", global revenue reached 1.2 billion US dollars.

Equivalent to RMB 8.4 billion.

Even if the tax is calculated at 40%, Evolution Shanhai's net profit this month will be more than 5 billion.

Thirty percent of five billion, that is 1.5 billion yuan.

As the most important planner and project leader, Pei Qian can get a 10% bonus.

That's a full 150 million.

Moreover, this is just this month’s income.

Even if after the New Year, the popularity of "Evolving Mountains and Seas" decreases and the income decreases, I will make tens of millions if not more than 100 million every month.

How can you expect an annual salary of tens of millions when you earn so much in a month?
You think you make too much, so you want to reduce your salary?
Moreover, these game companies are not even willing to give stock dividends. Compared with their own colleges, they are really far behind.

Not to mention the advantages of a better working environment, no intrigues, and a high degree of freedom.

Therefore, Pei Qian himself has no intention of changing jobs.

I just plan to wait for "Evolution Mountain and Sea" to enter a stable period with peace of mind, then shift the focus of work and start my next game.

The entire "Evolving Mountains and Seas" project team was extremely excited during this period.

Money is naturally one of the things that excites them.

Just a little calculation, everyone feels like they are going to get rich.

The money I make is enough to live on my back for the rest of my life.

But the most important thing is that as a game practitioner, it is the honor to be able to participate in the production of such a popular game all over the world.

……

But soon.

An even more exciting news came out for the students.

Before "Evolving Mountains and Seas" was launched, Pei Qian once shouted a slogan, but no one took it seriously.

But now, it seems to have come true...
