Game Design: Players are moved to tears

Chapter 87 Ship New Game
"The publicity ambassador has been decided. Does anyone have any objections?"

"Okay, since everyone has no objections, let's talk about the specific operation of the game platform."

Chen Yaohui silently put down his raised right hand.

Boss, I have an opinion...but you didn't give me a chance to say it.

Liu Wei continued: "This is what I think about the game platform."

"Our main target groups are primary and secondary school students and college students who have just graduated a few years ago, because these are the largest consumer groups."

"About the games on the platform... Chen Yaohui, is it okay for you to be in charge of contacting me?"

Chen Yaohui thought for a while and said, "If you only consider those C-level and D-level designers, there should be no problem at all, but it will be difficult no matter how high the level is."

Liu Wei nodded: "It's okay. You can be responsible for the momentum. I will be responsible for the quality alone."

This sounds very pretentious, but when it came out of Liu Wei's mouth, no one thought it was bragging.

……

Send everyone away.

Liu Wei turned on the computer and started writing the copy for the game platform.

There are definitely game companies in this world that have tried to build separate game platforms, but so far there are still only two game platforms on the market, which says a lot.

However, the game platform built by Liu Wei is different from other platforms.

The Fumei platform has castrated most of the functions of the official platform.

Including but not limited to functions such as 'design and development', 'middleman' and 'protector'.

Only the game ranking and friend making functions are retained.

In other words, if a designer wants to make a new game, he still has to go to the official website to spend money, buy materials, contact outsourcing companies, etc.

The Fumei platform is a simple game list.

After setting up the basics, Liu Wei began to prepare the core games of the Fumei platform.

As the core game, Liu Wei must ensure that they have the following points in common.

First, it’s easy to use.

Both men and women, young and old, and even middle-aged people who have just come into contact with computers can easily get started.

Although according to market survey data, 80% of players are teenagers.

But in fact, the number of middle-aged players and primary school students is no less than that of teenagers.

They just can't join the game because it's too difficult to get started.

The difficulty of getting started here is not the difficulty of getting started with the game, but the difficulty of getting started with the computer.

Many middle-aged people, like elementary school students, watch TV the most when they are in contact with computers, and rarely use other functions.

To achieve this, the core game is best played with just a mouse.

Because many children and middle-aged people are direct disciples of 'One Finger Zen'.

Second, the painting style is cute.

Although the cute painting style will lose its characteristics, it also represents stability and can take care of most people's aesthetics.

It is conducive to platform drainage and ensuring retention rate.

Third, it is highly interactive.

This is the most critical point.

Humans are social animals, no one likes stand-alone games.

Even those players who like stand-alone games often go online to read guides and give a like when they see a video of a game they like to play.

Privately, they also like each other's stand-alone games.

This is the interactivity of the game.

As long as these three points are ensured, Liu Wei can guarantee that his game platform will become famous instantly.

……

Soon, Liu Wei wrote out the soul game copy that the game platform needed and handed it to Ling Jingwen.

"The outline has been written, and the specific rules are almost written. You can design a suitable art based on this demand." "...Let's do this, you and Zeng Meixue will discuss each other and make one, learn from each other's strengths, and make progress together. , I want to see the finished product in half a month."

Ling Jingwen received the document, opened it, and gave a confused 'hmm' sound.

This time the copywriting is relatively simple, it can be said to be the simplest copywriting.

Both the gameplay and requirements give people a very childish feeling.

Ling Jingwen looked back at the games on the document.

"Happy Farm", "Happy Ranch", "Happy Parking Space", "Cute Pet Battle", "Happy Landlord"

The name also reveals a younger aesthetic.

"Junior, did you pronounce it correctly?" Ling Jingwen asked.

Liu Wei said: "That's right. This matter is very important. It is related to the life and death of the gaming platform. You must do it seriously."

Ling Jingwen smiled bitterly: "But junior fellow student, doesn't this seem a little too childish?"

Liu Wei said: "It's okay, just do as I say, and you will understand when the time comes."

Ling Jingwen nodded: "Promise to complete the task."

After explaining Ling Jingwen, Liu Wei slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Happy Farm", "Happy Ranch"...these games may seem simple, but they were the foundation for QQ to conquer the world.

How many people set their alarm clocks in the middle of the night just to steal some food?

Moreover, this kind of game is suitable for all ages, and it is a real game that only requires skill.

"The next step is the most critical time." Liu Wei's expression became serious.

There is not much time left for the Fumei platform to grow. Liu Wei speculated that it only took about half a month from launch to being targeted.

This is because the market is now in a state of chaos due to card games, and the two major game companies are currently unable to take care of themselves.

Once the Fumei platform cannot grow to a certain scale within this half month.

Liu Wei could almost predict the next scene.

All the advantages of the Fumei platform will be borrowed by the other two companies, and the core game will be renamed Dirty Reincarnation.

With the strong strength of the other two families, everything he did was a wedding dress.

Liu Wei thought for a while and sent another message:
[Warmly celebrate the monthly sales of "Nianghua Three Kingdoms" exceeding [-] million...]

As soon as this news came out, the entire gaming circle was shocked again.

However, the cost is one million, and the return rate is as high as hundreds, which makes people not crazy.

Even some A-level designers who originally regarded themselves as lofty and had already announced that they would quit being judges have personally made similar card games.

When they discovered that it was really easy to make money in this kind of game, the entire game market went even crazier.

……

three days later.

"These people are completely crazy." Chen Yaohui complained, "I don't even know, what's so fun about this kind of garbage game?"

"You're guaranteed to draw purple cards, you're guaranteed to draw gold cards, and the rest are just blue sky and white clouds cheating mobile games."

"Oh? Really... I seem to have seen someone v4 yesterday, and he must have spent a lot of money." Ling Jingwen said venomously at the side.

Chen Yaohui's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he hesitated and said: "What words, what kind of words are they? Can the designer's affairs be called giving money? That is called donating money for inspiration."

"Besides, does recharging money for your own games count as recharging money? They are all my children. Summer is coming soon. What's wrong with me buying some clothes for my children?"

"What's wrong!"

Zeng Meixue smiled sweetly: "Is this why you spent money to buy the 'Huayue' skin?"

"Can't see it, you are also a big pervert."

Chen Yaohui was immediately speechless.

The experience store instantly filled with excitement.
