Game Design: How did I become the richest man?

Chapter 109 "The Legend of Weiwei's Immortality"...

Time flies and it’s mid-June.

ULTIMATE TECHNOLOGY NETWORKS LIMITED.

Liu Wei at Time Photography Studio only paid attention to it at first, and then turned his attention to the game industry.

Although after putting forward the slogan of 'quality over quantity', the reputation and reputation of the photo studio have improved significantly.

But Liu Wei was not worried at all.

How can you make money for me even if I don’t sell it?

Are you relying on the few cents snacks on the first floor?

Stop making trouble, it’s not a canteen you open, and you can’t even make back the water and electricity bills with just the snack money!

As for whether the photo studio will be profitable after its reputation increases, Liu Wei is not very worried.

Firstly, it is because the current popularity of the studio is entirely due to the support of "Smashing Life".

Secondly, even if the profit is reached in the next cycle, Liu Wei has many ways to 'invest funds'.

Therefore, Liu Wei now pays more attention to the update of the game version.

"Mountain Simulator" has sold 50 copies as of today. Although the quantity is large, the price is so low that even the cost has not been recovered.

The good news is that word of mouth has improved, and the bad news is that only word of mouth has improved!
The investment in "Unfair Chess and Cards" was relatively large, almost 30.

Among them, the "background music and background scenes" originally envisioned by Wang Ning only cost tens of thousands, and the remaining price was almost spent on updating characters and balancing values.

Liu Wei roughly estimated that if the game wants to pay back its capital, it must sell at least 10,000+ copies.

For "Unfair Chess", which has daily active activities as low as tens of thousands, unless a large number of players return, it will be an impossible task.

As for "Legend of Weiwei Immortality", Liu Wei believed that this game would not be able to qualify, and coupled with the free promotion method, it would be impossible to make money from this game.

The only variable was "Breaking Bad Life"... After Liu Wei learned that all the images used in this game came from the "Time Photography Studio", he almost fainted on the spot.

I give you money so that you can spend it freely, not to think about how to save money!
But things have reached this point, and Liu Wei can't remove all the content and start it again, so he can only bear the loss by pinching his nose.

This update of "Breaking Bad Life" is equivalent to only one update in two months. The plot, content, and ending have all undergone major modifications, so it is normal for players to be blown away by it.

Players are a group that tolerate extremely high upper and lower limits.

They can endure their restless hearts for three or four years for a 'domestic light'.

But there will also be angry negative reviews for not experiencing the game content you wanted on the first day of release.

And now... the successful plot of "A Bad Life" is beyond doubt, and it certainly won't be too bad, after all, it was carefully selected from hundreds of videos.

What's more, the ending this time only costs five yuan. It's really not worth the cost just to sell the DLC.

The main profit method of "Bad Life" during this period is to rely on the remaining reputation from the past to attract new players to buy.

The profit contributed by one new player is equivalent to ten old players!
This is Liu Wei's serious problem!

Wang Ning has previously proposed methods such as 'discount promotions' and 'invitation codes for old players' to encourage new players to purchase games.

Liu Wei refused without hesitation.

Discounts and promotions are also profitable, but they are far from making zero cents!
After checking all the updates, Liu Wei smiled knowingly.

It seems that there is no problem together!
After my reminder at the camera studio, there shouldn't be any more trouble.

The game industry itself is on tight guard, ensuring that there is no flaw, and trying to keep everything in its own hands.

As long as you simply calculate the profit of the game and spend money unexpectedly in the last period, everything will be perfect!
Now Liu Wei's goal is simple.First, the pre-settlement capital in August was less than 300 million.

Second, there are no unfinished projects the week before settlement.

As long as these two goals are implemented, this mission will be easily accomplished!
"Victory is right in front of us, we still need to work hard!" Liu Wei quickly calmed down and reminded himself.

Every time you are close to success, something goes wrong.

But this time, it will definitely not happen...right?

……

Zhen Xing is very happy recently!
It’s not just that employees have gradually learned to involute under their own subtle influence.

of course!

This kind of involution was improved by him based on the actual situation of Ultimate Company.

Mr. Liu doesn’t want employees to work overtime?
Well, we will finish all the work when we go to work directly, improve work efficiency, ensure work quality, and ensure that we get off work on time.

Zhen Xing was pleasantly surprised to find that with the passage of time, his employees became more and more comfortable in their work.

It took ten hours for the company to finish the work before, but now it can be done in eight hours.

Zhen Xing thinks this is great progress.

The company did not pay overtime pay, but the work progress did not fall behind at all.

It seems that there is no involution, but in fact it has become extremely involuted!

Zhen Xing also plans to allow employees to complete all their work in seven and a half hours and then leave work early, so that these people will not waste the company's utility bills in the company!
But what excites Zhen Xing the most is not the employee involvement, but the various evaluations of Ultimate Company on the Internet.

If you just scroll through the comment section, you can see that everyone is praising Ultimate's games.

Let’s not talk about “Mountain Simulator”. It has gone from negative reviews to rave reviews at a teaching level, has extremely cost-effective DLC, and was already a certain hot topic. Now it has been directly praised by the game media.

There's not much to say about "Unfair Chess", just buy it and that's it!

Although the new version of "A Bad Life" hasn't been released yet, even a promotional cg hasn't been released yet.

But it is almost always discussed online.

A game that was doomed to fail is now suddenly going to have a successful ending.

What kind of ending can reflect the core of this game?

Coupled with the low DLC price, topics about this game have entered the top ten on the hot list.

Seeing this scene, Zhen Xing smiled contentedly.

This is the ultimate sense of accomplishment as a member, and only those who are truly integrated into the company can experience this feeling.

It feels really good to be chased and praised by players!
What's more, now I still have the big killer weapon "The Legend of Weiwei Immortality" that I haven't released yet.

This game has become very popular overseas, especially in Neon. It has been on par with "Boxer" and "Death and Life", and it has become a popular game.

But Zhen Xing was so excited that she had no intention of telling Mr. Liu the good news.

After all, these calls were made at the expense of the profitability of "Legend of the Immortal Vivian", and this happened.

Although a little unexpected, it makes sense.

What's more, whether you can qualify this time depends not only on the voice of the game, but the amount of profit is also a crucial part.
