Game Design: How did I become the richest man?

Chapter 131 Car Crash Plan
"Domestic FPS games have always been in a slump. Game manufacturers are doing everything they can to make money by weakening old weapons and enhancing new gold-priced weapons..."

Liu Wei couldn't help but nodded. Although the title of this editor is quite deceptive, the specific content seems to be somewhat capable.

No, even the 'bug weapon repair theory' that domestic game manufacturers are best at using has been used.

"Although there are ways to attract people's attention, this kind of behavior is really good, and the dry goods are slow, and I will give praise later."

Liu Wei looked down with interest, but his painting style suddenly changed:

"But now, the new era FPS game "God of War" developed by reddark and represented by Xunqi is about to start testing, filling the gap in FPS games."

"The new free-to-play + in-app purchase item charging model achieves a truly fair team battle."

"Headshots, blind sniping? o (╯□╰)o No big deal, brother, God of War, master, who dares to fight!"

"...On October [-]st, let us look forward to it - the arrival of the God of War!!!"

"Sigh~"

Looking at the line of large characters marked in bright red font at the end of the article, Liu Wei couldn't help but take a breath.

This promotional slogan - Good soil.

The extremely crude slogan instantly made Liu Wei give up the idea of ​​giving likes.

But scrolling down the comment area, most of them were complimentary remarks, and there were even a few that repeated promotional slogans several times.

This made Liu Wei couldn't help but think of a sentence - is it fashionable to be extremely earthy?

Liu Wei browsed for a while, and found that he seemed to be surrounded by "God of Battlefield", and a large number of posts would appear if he flipped through a few.

No matter how strange the titles are, the core content is just one sentence - on October [-]st, "God of Battlefield" represented by Xunqi Group will be closed beta.

"This shows that Xenqi Group attaches great importance to this game~" Liu Wei held his chin and said, "But that's right, after all, this is an agent game, the results have been verified locally, and Asians have similar aesthetics. Just add a little local flair and it sure doesn’t fail…”

"This is the world of rich people... they don't make games, but they can buy games." Liu Wei said with a hint of envy.

Just as he was about to close the webpage, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Xenqi Group attaches great importance to "God of Battlefield", and "Crossing the Storm" is the failure template of "God of Battlefield". Doesn't this mean that "Crossing the Storm" is not as good as "God of Battlefield"!"

"Although "Crossing the Storm" has made many original modifications, the most important thing for FPS games is the feel, and the feel of these two games can be seen from Xunqi Group's attitude towards these two games."

"Suppose I crashed God of Battlefield at this time..." Liu Wei fell into deep thought.

There are good and bad things like crashing a car. The advantage is that you can gain popularity and save a lot of money.

But the disadvantages are equally obvious. I think that players will compare each other with each other, so the worse game will definitely be belittled by players.

But here in Liu Wei's case, the advantages become disadvantages, and the disadvantages become advantages.

And "Crossing the Storm" is definitely far inferior to "God of War", Liu Wei is very sure of this.

The development company gave up, foreign agents sold it without hesitation, and coupled with unreliable employees like themselves, how could it be possible to make a popular game.

What's more, this game also has a lot of debuffs.

"So, as long as you take the initiative to crash the car, you will definitely be compared by players, and in this comparison, these two games are like an egg hitting a stone, and there is a click, and the egg breaks!"

Liu Wei was a little excited. He thought the idea of ​​crashing a car was a good one.

But Liu Wei was still a little dissatisfied... The original intention of crashing the car was to gain popularity and save money, but his intention was to make the game fail and all the investment costs be wasted.

But since you are losing money, why not lose more.

In terms of publicity, there was also a wave of overwhelming publicity?
Liu Wei changed his thinking very quickly this time. He was unwilling to take the initiative to promote the game in the past few times because he was not sure whether the game would be popular.

And because previous games had a buyout system or a permanent membership card, players who wanted to experience all the game content for the first time had to spend money.

Not to mention that the price of previous games was also low, which was the price of one or two meals.But this time it’s different. With free online games, you can experience the complete game content even if you don’t have to pay for it, even if ordinary players want to pay for it.

When you see a supreme weapon that is almost a thousand times smaller, you will definitely give in. In this way, there is a limit to the profit!
Taking the initiative to promote the car crashes = all the promotional funds are wasted + the game loses money + a lot of criticism.

Blood money, this is it!

Liu Wei quickly took out his mobile phone and was about to call Wang Ning, but suddenly realized that today was only No. 16, and there were still two days before the company employees went to work.

"Forget it, we can't interrupt the employees' vacation. Let's talk about it together when we get to work."

……

August NO.18.

The atmosphere in the office area of ​​Ultimate Technology Company is harmonious and joyful. Every employee's face is not only filled with happy smiles, but also full of pride and pride.

Otherwise, August [-]th is not only a day for family reunions, but also a time when seven aunts and eight aunts rarely communicate with each other on mobile phones.

As representative figures of 'comparison', employees of Ultimate Company won this year's Best Child Award for their 'on-time commuting to and from get off work, high wages, high benefits and high treatment'.

Therefore, after returning, Ultimate employees are not only full of energy and motivation, but also have a higher level of gratitude towards the company.

Seeing the atmosphere in the office and the rapid work progress, Wang Ning almost burst into tears.

"Is this what home feels like?"

"Mr. Liu must have thought of this scene. He took a few extra days off, but gained the loyalty and hard work of his employees... Is this the strength of a genius designer? It's so terrifying."

Wang Ning was in awe.

Just then, his cell phone rang

"Mr. Liu: @王宁, come to the office."

Wang Ning quickly picked up a report next to him and hurried to the office.

Mr. Liu must have something important to call him in such a hurry.

……

Pushing the door open, Wang Ning first handed a report to Liu Wei.

Looking at Mr. Liu's confused eyes, Wang Ning whispered: "Estimated start-up capital."

Liu Wei nodded and opened it to take a look.

The estimated funding for "Through the Storm" is only 500 million.

Liu Wei frowned and threw the report on the table casually: "Double the funds."

"Huh? I just went to work today, why did you do it already?"

Faced with Mr. Liu's question, Wang Ning scratched his head in embarrassment: "The Mid-Autumn Festival holiday is too long. My parents forced me to go on a blind date when I went home, so I had to run back early and work overtime."

Liu Wei looked at the 36-year-old Wang with thinning hair, and felt a sense of pity and sympathy in his heart.

They were all forced to get married by their families, and they were both destitute people at the end of the world. How could they have known each other before they met.

Damn it!I won’t become like Lao Wang in the future~
No, as long as I have money, this will definitely not happen.

Liu Wei said seriously: "If we don't do this next time, I'll tell Zhang Li later and make up for the overtime pay."

"If you work overtime during normal hours, you will get 1.5 times your salary, and if you work overtime on holidays, you will get three times your salary. With so many reports, you must have been busy for at least two days, and you will be considered as six days' salary."

Wang Ning was completely stunned.
