Game Design: How did I become the richest man?

Chapter 93: A big backstab first!

May [-]th.

Because I just came back from vacation, and because of the huge sales of "My Life".

The atmosphere in the office area is very relaxed.

Some people are playing games, some are watching TV shows, and some are picking their noses while eating snacks.

Liu Wei has always turned a blind eye to people fishing during working hours, and even gave strong support and praise behind his back.

Even though everyone looked like they were working hard once they started working seriously, it still made Liu Wei feel a little uncomfortable.

Is it necessary to fight so hard?
Do you really regard the company as your home?

Liu Wei gathered everyone in the conference room and prepared to arrange the next work for everyone.

Looking at the employees with adored expressions in front of them, Liu Wei sighed.

Don't look at me like this, it makes me look stupid!
After thinking about it, he decided to start with "A Bad Life":

"The sales volume of "Breaking Bad Life" is good, well... the reputation is also good, and everyone is working very hard. The dividends will be paid out together with this month's salary."

Liu Wei almost passed the game "Breaking Bad Life" in one stroke. This game caused great psychological trauma to him, and he has not recovered yet.

Everyone has long been used to it.

If it were another company CEO, he would definitely come up and serve a bowl of hot chicken soup first, praise a few employees by name, draw pictures on the cake, and then encourage everyone to keep up their efforts and achieve greater results.

But it's different at Ultimate.

If Mr. Liu has chicken soup, he really drinks it, and if he has pancakes, he really eats it!
Besides, Mr. Liu is not the kind of person who likes to rest on his merits and take great pleasure in success.

This can be seen from the fact that "The Legend of Weiwei Immortal" won the title of 'domestic light', but Mr. Liu did not hesitate to move to other projects.

Liu Wei continued: "The next step is the work plan for the next three months."

"Considering that the company has a large number of games, the composition of personnel is chaotic, and the old games have not been updated for too long, so we will not develop new games in the next three months, but plan the old games first."

Everyone nodded in unison.

Mr. Liu's current decision-making is normal. On the contrary, it is abnormal for the company to have everyone in the same studio and only make new games without caring about old games.

This means that every new game released by Ultimate Company has a good reputation, otherwise it would have been ruined by old players.

But even now, Tieba is full of voices planning various crusade.

If Liu Wei continues to leave it alone, it is really possible to recreate the offline battle situation of the 'Magic Game' back then.

"The first is version planning. "Mountain Simulator" adds an online mode and a new background image. It is sold as DLC. The price is... one yuan."

""Unfair Chess" adds a bounty league mode and a batch of new characters, adds a new background music and chess and card desktop, and is priced at five yuan."

""The Legend of Weiwei Immortal" can add several new characters and sell them as DLC, priced at 38."

""A Bad Life" adds a successful ending, priced at 5 yuan."

After Liu Wei finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

so cheap?

Can this make money back?
"Mountain Simulator" itself is a popular game, how could anyone spend another dollar to buy a new background image now?Isn’t this asking for abuse?
Not to mention "Unfair Chess", the number of players is now severely lost, and whether it can have tens of thousands of daily active players is a question.

The pricing of the remaining two games is even a bit ridiculously low.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you can make money.

Everyone's eyes ranged from shock and confusion to finally enlightenment and admiration.understood!

This is a big move made by Mr. Liu!
It is because the popularity of the old games has faded and the loss of players is serious, so it is necessary to use low-price and ultra-affordable methods to regain the market.

Switching to other game companies, seeing this situation, they have already started the "leek cutting" mode, harvesting money from players' pockets one after another.

But Mr. Liu is a courageous person, and harvesting players' money will only make short-term profits.

If you want to really make money, you still have to take the 'win-win' route where companies like Mr. Liu work hard to make games and players voluntarily pay for them.

Liu Wei felt the admiration of everyone and smiled reluctantly.

Neither can he.

These prices are already the lowest prices specified by the system.

And although the company's remaining funds can support Liu Wei to make another new game, it is very likely to become popular.

But now that I'm switching to updating versions of old games, I won't have so many worries.

Those old games haven't been updated for so long that players have forgotten that there is such a game.

Now the updated version will definitely make money, but not much.

As long as the speed and extent of making money are within expectations, Liu Wei will not panic at all.

Besides, what if you lose money?
Isn't that happy for everyone?
After handing over the game version, Liu Wei let it go and left everything to Wang Ning.

He is quite satisfied with Wang Ning.

He has strong execution ability but weak personal ability. At present, it seems that he can only work step by step. It would be great if there were two more talents like Wang Ning.

Liu Wei was going to take some time to go to the 'Time Photography Studio'. There had been a lot of sad things recently, and he needed something happy to soothe his injured heart.

'Time Photo Gallery', a venue that spends money but never makes any money, is great!
Liu Wei has already begun to think about whether to open a branch.

However, Liu Wei had just finished the meeting and before he could move, he saw Zhen Xing walking over and stopping him: "Mr. Liu, I have some news to tell you."

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, let's go to the office and talk."

After entering the office, Liu Wei poured him a cup of expensive fragrant tea, sat on the sofa and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."

Liu Wei liked the employee Zhen Xing very much at first. He was a treasure employee!
But after "The Legend of Weiwei's Immortality" became a hit, Liu Wei didn't like him anymore.

Why would such a capable employee come to my company?

Zhen Xing was sitting on the sofa, holding a teacup and twisting it from left to right, obviously feeling uncomfortable, as if she was not used to it yet.

He took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Liu, it's like this. "The Legend of Weiwei Immortality" may not be updated recently."

"Oh?" Liu Wei's eyes lit up, and he felt that Zhen Xing was much more pleasing to the eye.

Others can do it, but you can't. As expected, my vision is still fine.

Liu Wei patted Zhen Xing's shoulder with a smile on his face and comforted him: "Is there a problem with the capital chain? Or is there a major bug in the game? It doesn't matter, these are all minor problems."

Zhen Xing scratched his head, showed an embarrassed smile and said:

"It's not because of these reasons, it's because "Legend of Vivian Immortality" will participate in the global fighting game competition. During the competition, the version cannot be updated to avoid bugs..."

Liu Wei: "???"

"what?!"
