Game Design: How did I become the richest man?

Chapter 33 Two Key Points (Please recommend and collect!!)
"From today on, Zhen Xing will be the project manager and be responsible for the entire design plan, while Li Chongshan will be responsible for implementing the planning plan."

Liu Wei's light words caused an uproar.

The project manager is the soul of a project.

Determines the direction, gameplay, follow-up operations, etc. of the entire game project.

Li Chongshan nodded indifferently.

This job is no different from his previous job. It's just that the working environment has become better, the company is bigger, snacks are free to eat, and the salary is more.

But in Zhen Xing's case, there are two completely opposite scenes.

He couldn't understand Mr. Liu, oh no, it was Liu Wei's operation.

What does this mean?
He handed over all the work to his subordinates, but what about himself?

Lie flat?
Okay, you Liu Wei!

Fortunately, I was moved by your heroic words just now.

I didn't expect, I didn't expect that you actually wanted to lie down.

After all, Zhen Xing is a veteran who has been in the industry for three years and has five years of work experience.

He is very clear about the responsibilities and responsibilities of the project manager position.

Ordinary programmers are simply not qualified for this job without three to five years of practice and study.

Don't say anything else!

They just don’t understand the gameplay and core competitiveness of the game!

And now Liu Wei actually asked himself, a newbie who had only worked in an independent studio for three years, to be the project manager.

Isn't this intentional sabotage?
Countless palace battle dramas instantly appeared in Zhen Xing's mind.

But no matter how uncomfortable he felt inside, he still had to accept it with a smile.

This is his fate as an undercover agent!

Everything is for the will of Juan.

Liu Wei didn't give everyone much time to react and continued:
"This game has two core points."

"The first one is to copy it. As for how to copy it, it's up to you."

"The second is that this game will be a buyout system, and the price will be... 128."

After Liu Wei finished speaking, everyone was collectively deceived.

What is the difference between these two points if they are mentioned or not?
Isn’t that domestic game company copying it now?
Either you copy me, or I copy you.

You perform a light kung fu, I perform a great light kung fu, you perform a battle royale, and I perform a martial arts hegemony.

This is an unwritten rule in the gaming circle.

If there is anything useful, it is that the price is relatively cheap.

The standard version of "Boxing Fighter 15" is priced at 328 yuan, and the deluxe version is priced at 468 yuan.

The price of this game is only 128.

But this is not the same at all!

Although the price of "Boxing Fighter" is a bit premium, it is the brand price, and that game is worthy of the price in terms of both combat and graphics.

But what level are we at?
128? 68 are too expensive!
Liu Wei chuckled.

Yes, this is his trump card.

The first point is plagiarism.

The audience of domestic players for fighting games is far less than that of overseas players. If this game borrows other elements from "Boxing Fighter" like crazy.

If you don’t have your own unique game, how can you attract players?
Not only will it not attract players, it will also attract a lot of criticism.

What's more, this is a newly formed gaming group, and their understanding of fighting games is limited to literal words.

Let them play games...

It's definitely impossible to catch it.The second point is the buyout price worth 128.

After the first two failures, Liu Wei understood that the price of the game is not the lower the better, nor the higher the better.

Rather, it is a comprehensive consideration based on the type, quality, gameplay, and content of the game.

For example, "Simulator Mountain", if it was originally designed as a free game, spending six yuan to unlock other skins would definitely end up with a lot of wives and concubines.

Take "Unfair Chess" as an example again. If I had continued my plan of buying out the game, those players who came across this game would have just left it without even looking at it.

This is the classic 'failure' of a marketing plan that goes right.

But now, Liu Wei is very confident that players will not be interested in fighting games.

Even if there is, it will disappear the moment you see the price of 128.

"Mr. Liu, isn't the buyout system too dangerous? How about we make it a free game and pay to unlock characters or skins?"

Li Chongshan raised his hand to express his doubts, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"It is indeed better to play for free. In this way, the traffic will increase and the number of players will increase."

"All major domestic manufacturers are doing this, and the effect is not bad."

"Because this is the current popular trend in China!"

"And in this way, the upper and lower limits of krypton gold have been raised a lot. You can have six heads of state as a bonus for newbies who give away popular characters or skins. Small profits but quick turnover!"

"That's right, based on my experience, if you ask players to pay 128 yuan at a time, they will probably struggle with cost-effectiveness, but if it is divided into ten 12-yuan activities, they will start spending money like crazy."

"And we can make this kind of event the original price of 30 yuan and the discounted price of 12 yuan. Anyway, the pricing power is in our hands."

“Besides, this method of earning money is also conducive to the development and operation of subsequent versions.”

"You can also think of a few festivals every month and produce specific skins for some characters..."

Seeing everyone starting to talk, Liu Wei was a little confused.

It seems like...there's something wrong with this group of employees.

Why are they so familiar with krypton gold activities!
And after hearing the conversations between these employees, Liu Wei's heart seemed to be falling from the edge of a cliff, falling again and again, and finally shattered into pieces.

Especially when he heard the words 'development and operation of subsequent versions', he almost fainted.

Heaven and earth conscience.

Liu Wei just made a fighting game with the idea of ​​​​taking a loss and running away.

If you do what they say.

Maybe it will actually happen!

"No, absolutely not!" Liu Wei said firmly.

He must dispel everyone's thoughts, and dispel them completely.

"What we want to do is an orthodox fighting game, how can we think about making money?"

"Look at "Boxing Fighter". Why is it successful? Isn't it just that you want to bring the purest fighting game fun to everyone?"

"Look at what you are like now. Each one of you is just thinking about how to fool the players out of their money. Is this appropriate?"

"We at Ultimate Network Technology Co., Ltd. want to be an innovative and disruptive company, so how can we join the same trend as domestic manufacturers?"

"You must remember the purpose of Ultimate Technology Network Company - to create happiness with heart!"

"Shameful, really shameful!"

Liu Wei left the conference room while saying that he hated the iron.

He must not give these people the slightest chance to resist.

Even in order to dispel these people's thoughts, he used the famous "heart is happy" remarks from his previous life.

After Liu Wei left the conference room, everyone's faces were full of shame.

You look at me, I look at you, the atmosphere is very awkward.
