Reborn Game Pioneer

Chapter 184 The Unique Designer
Gu Feng watched the third trend deduction with calm eyes, but the sweat from his clenched hands still revealed that he was not as calm in his heart as he appeared on the surface.

During the derivation, the early trend after the game was released was obviously better than the previous two times, and the monthly revenue and monthly activity were significantly improved compared to the same period.

From this point alone, we can see Gu Feng's success in modifying the mechanism.

At the same time, some other problems can also be seen from this.

Why the new mechanism can improve the results so much in the early stage compared to the old mechanism? The reasons may come from various aspects.

For example, the attraction of ranked mode to players.

For example, the new mechanism solves the problem of the old mechanism requiring passive waiting for others.

After all, even if everyone's game level is good in the early stage, it probably won't be too big. During this period, players under the old mechanism are still having fun, and the unpleasant experience of being beaten by the boss will definitely not be much.

When the time came for the release of competing games, compared to the previous two games, the impact on "Bubble Hall" was significantly smaller this time, which Gu Feng had anticipated in advance.

After all, it took six months for a competing game to appear. To put it bluntly, the day lily is getting cold.

Players have finally reached a certain rank and have met some good game friends. At this time, players are asked to change games. Either the game itself has a certain grass-roots period, or the official is trying to kill people and makes some cool operations to disgust the players, or the players are tired of playing. Want to change games and relax.

Of course, the last situation, to put it bluntly, is that it is not easy to fry fish here. Let’s change the game and see if we can fry fish.

This is actually similar to the mentality of some League of Legends players when they play Honor of Kings. What should I do if I kneel down for five consecutive times in the rankings?Fighting the ultimate brawl.What to do if you don’t want to play Super Smash Bros., then go to King of Glory to fry fish to adjust your mood. .

Under the new game mechanism, players' loyalty and stickiness to "Bubble Hall" have increased, and it has become more difficult for competing games to poach players.Under the faster market expansion in the early stage, before competing games came out, "Bubble Hall"'s market share and the popularity of the game itself were bound to be higher than before.

The combination of multiple factors allowed "Bubble Hall" to fully utilize its first-mover advantage.

This phenomenon also reminds Gu Feng once again that the best way to deal with competing games is to be yourself and build a good reputation with original intentions. As long as you are yourself, the advantages of first movers cannot be easily surpassed by latecomers.

Soon, the stage that made Gu Feng most nervous came, and a new phenomenon-level game appeared.

In the first month of the phenomenon-level game’s emergence, “Bubble Hall” was still inevitably impacted, with both monthly revenue and monthly activity declining significantly.

However, what makes Gu Feng relieved is that "Bubble Hall" was only severely impacted in the first two months, and the situation was stabilized again in the third month.

In the end, after the changes were made, "Bubble Hall" continued to operate until its tenth year, and still has tens of thousands of monthly active players.

This result still makes Gu Feng very satisfied. After all, according to this deduction, the game has only a few updates such as new maps and new props. It can be regarded as quite successful if it can continue to operate for ten years.

After the deduction, the scene in front of Gu Feng changed like water waves. When the scene returned to clarity, he had returned to reality. The soft bed was still under him and the warm quilt was still on his body.

Enjoy the wonderful journey and find the most intoxicating recipe...

It turns out that this is what the introduction meant.

Finding the best way to play a game by making and experimenting is what travel cocktails do.

It has to be said that such a function is really powerful. In reality, everyone knows how to use hindsight, but until a game truly accepts the test of the market, no one can be 100% sure whether it will be popular.

After all, there are many factors that determine whether a game becomes a hit or a hit. For a game like Chuxin’s that has been released, even Gu Feng didn’t dare to guarantee that it would be 100% popular before it was officially released.

This is true for games that have past life experience to draw on. If Gu Feng purely made a game by himself, he would definitely feel even more unsure.

But the emergence of travel cocktails has solved this trouble to a great extent.

Travel Cocktail can not only roughly deduce the trend of the game after its launch, but also discover problems and hidden dangers in the game in advance during the deduction process.

It can be said that as long as he has enough wine control and repeated modification attempts, Gu Feng can theoretically minimize the risks that may be encountered after the game is released.

The production of "Bubble Hall" is not difficult. After all, the original game is an 18M game. A slightly more advanced person can handle it alone.

The overall style of the game does not require much adjustment. Considering the relaxed and joyful style of the game itself, cartoon-style modeling and funny and exaggerated modeling are both good choices. However, considering that the audience of this game also needs to include Half of the players are female, so the cute cartoon style and beautiful maps are indeed the best choice.

Gu Feng roughly assessed the workload and believed that the main content of the game could be handled by one person.

Wen Meng has been busy working on the "Dyson Sphere Project" in recent months. Last month, he was so worried that he developed a bunch of pimples on his forehead and the bags under his eyes became slightly aggravated.

Although the other party didn't say anything, Gu Feng saw it in his eyes.

Gu Feng couldn't say he turned a blind eye to a beautiful, fair-skinned beauty who worked hard to play games for the company without any complaints.

When they came in, the guests were all like "Fuck! Dream God!". Three years later, the guests were all like "F*ck! Who are you, sister?"

Not to mention that Wen Meng couldn't bear it when the time came, Gu Feng would definitely have a bad conscience.

What's more, a beautiful designer's hidden value to the company is huge, which is the same as the celebrity effect.

As the saying goes, rare things are valuable. Why is Gu Feng so popular?The good reputation of the game is one reason, but it is not the most important reason. After all, players play the game, not the designer. The fun of the game has nothing to do with whether the player knows who the designer is.

This is like "League of Legends" is fun, players only know that it is made by Riot, but they don't know who the main designer is; "Warcraft" is fun, players only know that it is made by Blizzard, but they don't know who the main designer is "The Elder Scrolls 5" is so fun, players may not even know who made it, let alone who the main designer is.

The same goes for the original intention. "Dead Cells" is fun, "Dancing Line" is fun, and "StarCraft" is fun. Everyone knows that these games were made with the original intention, but they don't know who the chief designer is because of this.

Just like before Tianying gave an exclusive interview to Wen Meng, and before the Golden Games Award was awarded, many people had no idea that the designer of "Monument Valley" and "Machinarium" was actually a beautiful woman.

So what is the main reason for Gu Feng's popularity?technology!
If you choose a young person randomly on the street now and become a neighbor.

The first question asked them "Who do you think is the most powerful designer in the world?" Many people may answer that they don't know, because no one is too busy to understand this kind of question, and some people may not be sure. When he named a person, it might be Gu Feng or someone else, but in fact he was not sure whether his answer was correct or not.

The second question asked them "Who do you think is the best designer for playing the game?" Then anyone who knows a little bit about the game can give the answer very confidently, Gu Feng!

The same goes for Wen Meng, a young and beautiful female designer. Even if she looks at the world, she is the only one in the Scorpion family, so she naturally becomes the most popular one.

Didn’t you see that after a year, the companies and headhunters who wanted to poach her changed batch after batch?Could it be that these people came here because of Wen Meng’s game design ability?not necessarily.

Taking the current situation as an example, given Wen Meng's current status in the hearts of otakus in the gaming industry, the publicity expenses of tens or even millions may not be as effective as Wen Meng's own publicity effect.

Therefore, the workload of "Bubble Hall" is not heavy, so it is left to Wen Meng, and it is good to have a rest.
