I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man.

Chapter 26 Being penniless and carving the master

"Goblin Pinball"

Advantages: cool
Advantages: Very cool
Advantages: It’s cool not to repeat
Disadvantages: None at the moment. If there are, I'm worried about whether I can run this game well.
……

After thinking about it, Gou Chehua deleted this paragraph that was originally intended to be a summary of the evaluation.

Mainly because he was at a loss for words.

He has been engaged in game planning for three years and has been playing games for more than ten years, but he has never seen a game made in this way, making players eager to experience the second game.

He really couldn't define this type, so he could only summarize it based on the experience of playing the entire game.

"Designer Ke, I've tried the game and it's pretty good! I have a hunch it will sell well!" After thinking about it, Gou Chehua got straight to the point and opened Ke Jin's chat box and said.

But I don’t know why, but the person on the other end didn’t seem to be very interested, and sent a bunny-headed puzzled emoticon.

Did I say something wrong?

Emmmm......

I seem to understand!

This type of game is unheard of in the market, and compared to games like Iwanna that require skill and patience, or games like Goose and Duck that require certain social attributes to play.

The barrier to entry for "Brother Dan" is much smaller, as long as you have the skills!
I just said that the sales were good. The engraving designer must not be happy after hearing this, right?

I should say it’s a big sale!I am still conservative.

"By the way, Designer, I think this game is more suitable for a buyout system." Gou Chehua had just typed.

There was a simple and clear reply with two words.

"In-app purchase."

"Uh...?" Gou Chehua didn't quite understand.

Judging from the rich content of this game, there is actually little need for in-app purchases to add anything.

Besides, it is a single machine in itself, so it is obviously better to buy it out.

Ke Jin also realized that his words were somewhat illogical.

Although I know my own motives, it may look strange to outsiders.

So after thinking about it, Xia Jiruan said: "The buyout will deter half of the 100 players, but the free in-app purchase system can allow 100 players to experience the game. They will all be our company's paying potential in the future." share."

Upon hearing this, Gou Chehua suddenly understood.

high!
Just tell me this look will not last long!

All I see are the petty profits in front of me, while other designers have already laid out the blue ocean and are looking at the future of the company!

He is already studying the next version of his opponent!

have to obey.

"Well, I want to discuss the pricing of in-app purchases with you." Gou Chehua just finished picking up the words, but Ke Jin refused again.

"Need not."

discuss?

Can we discuss it, I don’t know?
Ke Jin got angry when he thought about the previous games.

Obviously there is no problem from the pricing, logic, and other aspects.

But as soon as it was put on the shelves, it was like being possessed by an evil spirit. It was selling like crazy and there was no way to stop it.

Ke Jin almost gave the players a thumbs up and said, "Please stop charging, I really can't stand it anymore."

As long as I participate in the pricing of this game, the system will judge me as a mission failure!

"Look at it." Ke Jin said with a pinched word: "I believe in your work experience and boldly go ahead and do it. I only have two requirements. First, the game body cannot be moved. Second, try to make it possible for free players to You can experience all the content of the game.”

The main reason for not moving the game is out of respect for the senior designers in the previous life. Secondly, Ke Jin was really afraid that Gou Chehua would inexplicably modify his magic to become the ultimate hit...

As for allowing prostitute players to experience game content, this has always been Kejin’s original intention.

From another perspective, the more players who engage in prostitution for free, the better it is for him anyway.

Upon seeing these words, Gou Chehua's eyes suddenly turned red.

Long lost trust!
What else can be said except trust?
I had just cooperated with him for a few days, and he gave me such a brand-new, even undefined game, letting me control it completely!

It feels so good to be trusted!
"What about Xuanfa?"

"Need not."

Anyway, this system task does not require download volume.

It only requires that the average online time of players reaches 3 hours.

There is only one player in the entire server. If he plays alone for three hours, he has completed the task.

As for tasks B and C, naturally the fewer people play, the less money they charge.

Doing publicity?
Isn't that making yourself unhappy?

"Okay, then I'll start making arrangements." Although Gou Chehua agreed, he was surprised in his heart.

Where can I make a game without publishing it?
Especially since our family is so small now, there are two completely different topics between those with and without announcements!
Just relying on the quality of "Brother Dan" to slowly wait for exposure, how long will it take to wait...

As if he thought of something, Gou Chehua sighed slightly.

"Sure enough, it's probably because I don't have money... After all, making games costs money, and he priced the last game so conscientiously that he probably didn't even make back the money."

"But even so, he would not tell his employees about the difficulties." "He took it all on his own... He really..."

"I'll write this down for him first. If it gets really popular in the future and a reporter interviews me, I'll definitely tell him about it and help him increase his popularity!"

"0.o!"

Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Gou Chehua officially started making arrangements.

Although his last game was a disaster, he still learned a lot in the past three years at Tiansheng Company.

What is the core essence of making games?
Make money.

Only when you make enough money can you have the conditions to make better games.

So, how to make money?
Increase player payment rates!

Usually, there are only a few ways a game company can increase player payment rates.

The first one on the list is Xuanfa.

Some game companies don't even fix bugs, update versions, or hold events, but they still use half of their profits for promotion.

Because this thing pays for itself too quickly.

As long as the advertisement is out, no matter whether it is good or bad, someone will pay the bill.

Obbo and wiwo, which were popular in China in the early years, achieved extremely high sales volume with extremely low cost performance, which are the most typical examples.

However, this point has been passed on in the previous chat, and the designer has no surplus food at home.

Then you can only switch to plan B.

Gain recognition from players!
Games with a good reputation are more likely to be spread by word of mouth, thereby driving players' willingness to pay.

There is also knowledge in how to be more recognized by players.

Accurately target user groups.

What do you mean?
If you give dozens of love resource packages to your female friends, most of them will think there is something wrong with you.

But if you forward these dozens of T's to your good brothers, they will kneel down on the spot and call you adopted father.

The same thing will produce great differences when faced with different people.

This is the benefit of accurately targeting people.

What is the positioning of "Brother Dan"?
Beyond its vaguely novel genre.

According to Gou Chehua, its biggest selling point is just one word.

Cool!
The pinball continuously accumulates damage, and finally kills the monster in one burst, which is the source of its excitement.

The continuous improvement in the process and the continuous acquisition of new props will increase players' expectations.

So, what kind of players need to have fun the most?

High pressure people.

Every day there are endless homework to do at school, endless scolding at home, endless work to do at work, unfinished mortgage payments, and endless rising prices.

When you get home, you find that your two parents went to reward Douyin anchors with their subsistence allowances, and your wife used the hard-earned money you saved for a year to buy a wedding dress and sky-high-priced tickets to watch the Shit Beetle Group's concert.

These are all sources of high blood pressure.

If we can accurately put the game into the hands of these people, the effect will be absolutely amazing!

Gou Chehua suddenly remembered a senior who took good care of him when he was studying in college.

After graduation, he seemed to be working as a big data analyst.

Just do it.

Just take out your phone and make a call.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Gou Chehua, a little embarrassed and shameless, told his senior about his general thoughts.

The senior didn't really want to help.

After all, after graduation, everyone went their separate ways and had their own lives.

But Gou Chehua mentioned Ke Jin, an excellent game designer.

He repeatedly emphasized that in order to make a good game, this designer even couldn't get the money for promotion in the end. If this game couldn't be sold, he might not even be able to afford food.

"He really needs help..."

"So miserable?" The senior on the other end of the phone was a little moved after hearing this.

Based on my understanding of this kid Gou Chehua.

This kid is a boring gourd, and he will not shamelessly ask others for help unless he has to.

Moreover, with the resources I have now, it is not a troublesome thing to just pull a set of user data.

I remember having some friendship with this boy when he was in college.

Plus that inspirational game designer.

Row!
"The senior has helped me with this!" The other end readily agreed.

　Thank you to the boss of "Unknown Beginning" for the 100 book coins reward!

　　Thanks for the love, boss!

　　Give the boss a shout!
　　bang bang bang! ! !
