Game Design: How did I become the richest man?

Chapter 13 Start Spending Money

He looked at the demand list and then at Sun Lin, who was working hard because of the praise.

Liu Wei was very excited.

This is the technical talent that I dream of.

Look at this demand list. Is this a demand that normal people can come up with?

Anyway, Liu Wei could never figure it out himself.

Actually adding character skills to board and card games?
And they all have some supermodel skills. Isn’t this a complete act of self-destruction?
Just imagine, players are playing Landlords, Tianhu starts the game, and when the king and king are left to finish, it turns out to be a small king and a three. How depressing it is!
The good three with one pair turned into two singles and one pair. Do you want to scold me?

He even made another move and walked away, only to be beaten alive by the opponent and unable to draw any cards.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, Liu Wei just imagined this scene for a moment and couldn't help laughing.

The 20 must have been lost by me.

Liu Wei smiled slightly, full of confidence.

Although players who have purchased a permanent membership card can use all skins and special effects.

But if you can earn less money, it will be safer when settling the bill.

Therefore, ordinary players can also obtain these skins through winning coins in the game.

In other words, you can get all these skins without spending a penny.

But it's still not safe!
What if some people come up to spend money, making it impossible for players who don’t spend money to win, and ultimately trigger a reverse psychology, and you and I also spend money?
What should I do if Liu Wei's defense is broken?
Liu Wei thought for a moment and added a 'daily free rotation' activity.

Players can use four skins for free every day.

This can perfectly avoid the situation where players spend money!

After all, there are free skin trials every day, who is a serious person who wants to spend money?
After making these basic settings, Liu Wei began to search for templates on the 'Developer Platform'.

Templates for chess and card games were slightly more expensive, so Liu Weidong chose from the west and finally chose a set of templates priced at RMB [-].

This set of template games is rich in content, and it basically has all the gameplay methods that "Danniang Chess and Cards" has.

Even on the skin, there is a parody.

But it may be this reason that caused it to appear on the 'Developer Platform'.

And it is precisely for these reasons that this set of templates is relatively expensive.

But Liu Wei didn't care.

When he buys things, he doesn't care about the quality, only the price!

Besides, after buying it myself, I won’t let go of those gameplays.

At most, there are two modes: Landlord Landlord and Texas Chess and Cards.

As for skin properties?
These are big spenders, and it is certainly impossible for Liu Wei to continue to use the original template as a gift.

In this calculation, it is simply spending ten times the money and only using twice the effect.

Come and go, blood loss!
"The next step is to spend money to buy sound effects and copyrights." Liu Wei said.

There are three types of copyright in this world.

The first is exclusive authorization, which is 'one copy only'.

The other is genuine authorization, so that during review and promotion, the platform will automatically help you make notes, which will help you be discovered by players.

As for the third type, it is to use authorization. This authorization method is often used by small factories.

After authorization, there will be no labeling on the platform, nor will it be actively promoted.

The only advantage is that you won't be accused.

Generally speaking, a small factory like Liu Wei, with assets of only 20 yuan, would not bother to sue even if it does not authorize others.

Waste time and energy.

But as a time-traveler, Liu Wei has the pride of a time-traveler, so he naturally disdains doing such a thing.

How can you go whoring for free?

Even if you spend some money, it won’t cost much!

After paying the money, Liu Wei happily slapped his thigh: "The template is [-] yuan, the music and sound effects plus copyright fees are [-] yuan, and the cloud server is another [-] yuan. Hey, hey, it cost [-] yuan!"

"It's going fast, it's going fast!" Liu Wei was a little excited and grinned when he looked at the remaining 12 funds.

But the mission has not started yet. According to the rules, the mission has just begun only if more than half of the initial capital is invested.

Therefore,
We haven't succeeded yet, we still need to work hard.

Liu Wei searched for outsourcing companies on the 'Developer Platform'.

Outsourcing procedures is a technical job.

Generally, outsourcing is responsible for art and CG modeling, but the core code is produced by the original company itself.

This is to avoid the situation where bugs appear in the game but cannot be repaired.

But Liu Wei didn't care.

First, it's because he can't write code at all and doesn't understand it.

Secondly, if there is a bug in this game, it will be a good thing for you.

The game is unfair and there are bugs, and you have no way to fix it yourself, so you can only argue with outsourcers. As a result, the popularity of players wanes, which is a good thing no matter how you look at it.

The only pity is that Liu Wei cannot deliberately ask others to do such a thing.

"Hope I'm lucky enough to find a garbage outsourcer."

Liu Wei prayed while searching for outsourcing companies according to the ratings.

But after searching for a long time, Liu Wei couldn't find an outsourcing company that met his needs.

"One by one, the evaluations are either that the asking price is too high, or that the follow-up service attitude is not satisfactory. Co-authors, you are all very satisfied with these outsourcing, right?"

Liu Wei said in a broken voice. Although he was angry, there was nothing he could do.

This is another role of the 'developer platform', which plays a supervisory role for both parties.

It's as if players can unconditionally refund the game for two hours.

Game manufacturers can also complain about unscrupulous outsourcing manufacturers. After negotiation on the platform and legal provisions, those outsourcing manufacturers with poor technology have long been kicked out of the 'developer platform'.

"Wait, why do I have to find a garbage outsourcing company?"

"Do I subconsciously think this game will be successful?"

Liu Wei glanced at Sun Lin, who was sitting next to him, clasped his butt with one hand, put it under his nose and smelled it, showing a "comfortable" expression, and shook his head decisively.

Looking at him like this, it's simply impossible!

Moreover, I have also reviewed the requirements draft for this game, and it doesn’t look like it will be successful.

and so……

Liu Wei patted his thigh and said suddenly: "I don't need to find garbage outsourcing at all, I just need to spend the money!"

"So what if the program can run normally? The gameplay itself will not be successful."

Liu Wei, who wanted to understand this, reopened the 'Developer Platform' and started searching.

Soon, Liu Wei locked in an outsourcing company.

This outsourcing company has a medium rating. Its advantages are good attitude and fast production speed. Its disadvantage is that its price is high, about 15 to 20% more expensive than normal outsourcing.

Good attitude?high speed?
Can this also be called an advantage?

Liu Wei smiled disdainfully. The high price is the real advantage of this company!

Moreover, although Liu Wei has never been a programmer, he understands the lives of many programmers through the Internet.

996 is all an illusion, 007 is the reality.

What does fast speed mean?
It shows that bugs are prone to occur!
What does a good attitude mean?
It shows that people know that their prices are high and their quality is poor, so they can only make up for it with their attitude.

This is true for flashy luxury goods.

Putting practicality aside to talk about attitude is just a hooliganism.

"It's up to you!"

Liu Wei rubbed his hands excitedly, and then sent a message.

"exist?"
