Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 249: Taiping Road is my beloved relatives and friends, brothers and sisters, so I have to pay more (please subscribe)

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally made it to the moment when the list was announced.

Many players almost set their alarm clocks and logged into the collar to check.

[In the first national event weekend, details of the list of players with the title of Cyber ​​​​Azhi (this list is in no particular order)——]

[Wang Laoju, Bo Bo, Lawless, for example, Boss Yin, Bai Dong, Sao Zhu...]

"Hahahaha!" Boss Yin shouted excitedly when he saw his name on it.

The other anchors who were elected were also very excited and immediately started a live broadcast to share their joy with water friends.

Saozhu showed off: "How about it? I just said in this city? I am number one, right? I am invincible, you can do whatever you want. Of course I know that Boss Yin is also on the list, but I want to tell him, just go to sleep." , I can’t lose this one!”

Wang Laoju said proudly: "Brothers, do you see? What is strength? This is called strength. During this period of time, I will transform into the Liver Emperor and practice hard. Watch me become the best in the country!"

Bobo said excitedly: "Thank you to Tieling TV, Liaoning TV, and possibly CCTV in the future. Thank you to my family, my friends, and my fans. Without you, I would not be where I am today! Finally, and most importantly, thank you Myself!"

Of course, in this list, the top anchors occupy only a small number of places.

With the exposure of the list, other small anchors and even passerby players have also become a hot topic among players.

"That's bad. Boss really became the number one in Tianjin?"

"Don't be afraid, I can bia, bia, bia! Wait until I go to assassinate him today!"

"Making knitting...this national weekend activity is really more difficult than the college entrance examination. You only get the top scorer, right?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, I didn't get elected, damn, I'm so sad..."

"Hahahaha, I am Baidong, I am Baidong. I didn't expect that I would also have today, and the King of Passersby is here!"

That morning.

Baidong, a passerby from a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, took advantage of the popularity to launch a broadcast to explain the combination of Pokémon's attributes and even the combat skills of "Pokémon GO".

After a day of teaching, I successfully gained a small number of fans. With this event, he successfully joined the ranks of anchors.

This living example is right in front of everyone, how can the players not be excited?
In this Pokémon version of the Cyber ​​College Entrance Examination held at Taiping Road, the city's top scorer is so awesome, how can the provincial top scorer and the national top scorer still be worthy?

All top players who wear the title of Cyber ​​​​Zhi know that this is not the end, this is just the beginning, and they should level up more carefully to prepare for the future national finals.

Everyone is looking forward to the national finals to be held in the future.

Taiping Road, Chairman's Office.

Cai Gou was sitting on the boss's chair, his legs resting on the edge of the desk. He was looking at the backstage of the scarf and replying to fans' comments from time to time.

This is one of his habits. Before starting his busy work every day, he likes to chat with fans and read comments.

[S-level entry treasure chest x1]

"Huh?" Cai Gou sat up suddenly when he heard the special prompt sound.

shipped?
no……

When the National Weekend event was announced, you didn’t come!
When the National Weekend event is held, you can’t come!
Finally, the list of winners has been announced. Are you here?
"S-level entry treasure chest?" Cai Gou murmured: "S-level?"

He looked at the treasure box in his hand and couldn't believe it. It was a treasure chest that guaranteed to obtain an S-level entry. Such high-end items were really rare for him.

It seems that this National Weekend event is on the right track!

The old rules are to wash your hands, burn incense and worship yourself.

After the process was completed, Cai Gou sat on the sofa and whispered: "Turn on!"

[Congratulations to the host for opening the S-level entry treasure chest and obtaining——]

[S-level entry: suture]

[D-level entry: material]

[Emotional value x9999999]

After the treasure chest was opened, Cai Gou ignored the other two rewards, locked his eyes on one place, and whispered:
"Sewing the entries? It's interesting!"

[entry: suture]

[Level: S level]

[Note: You can sew, you can sew! 】

Cai Gou was a senior designer in the game industry in his previous life, and he is very familiar with the game style of the game industry, especially the domestic game style. Naturally, I am no stranger to the concept of sutures and even suture monsters.

To put it simply, the games produced by some game manufacturers attract players by integrating different classic gameplays. This phenomenon is called game stitching. The resulting game is also known as the Stitches game.

Of course, this fusion is not a simple copy and paste, but an innovative reconstruction of multiple gameplay methods. For example, some games incorporate chicken fighting mode, MOBA mode, etc. on the basis of the main gameplay, so that players can experience a variety of different gameplays in a single game.

The reason why game stitching, and even stitching games are popular, is due to changes in the market environment and player needs. As the competition in the game market intensifies, it is difficult for a single gameplay to stand out in the market.

In addition, players' expectations for games are also constantly changing. They are no longer satisfied with a monotonous game experience, but are pursuing richer and more diverse content. In order to follow the trend, improve their competitiveness and attract more players, game manufacturers need to find new breakthroughs.

Game Stitching conforms to this trend. By integrating multiple classic gameplays, it can create more attractive new gameplays, thereby helping game manufacturers gain an advantage in the market.

Some designers believe that this method of game design not only brings diverse experiences to players, but also provides game developers with a broader space for innovation.

Some designers also believe that this design method is not omnipotent, and over-reliance on game stitching may bring new problems, such as homogenization of gameplay and lack of depth.

But in any case, the production idea of ​​Stitch Monster has indeed brought a new trend to the game industry, and even many popular classic Stitch games have been born in the previous life.

The number of games unlocked by stitching entries is not only large, but also many of them are high-quality games. Most importantly, stitching entries have broadened the game track of Taipingdao.

Looking at the personal panel in front of him, Cai Gou was very excited.

The personal level is only one step away from the last entry, and the day to obtain the somatosensory game cabin technology is very close.

"Knock knock!"

At this moment, Wu Xiu knocked on the door and walked in.

He glanced at the incense burner burning three incense sticks under the poster of Cyber ​​Bodhisattva, and said with a smile:

"General, are you in a good mood today?"

The middle and high-level employees of Taiping Road all know this little hobby of their general. Once there is incense burning in the incense burner in Cai Gou's office, it means that he is in a good mood today.

"I'm lucky today, I'm really in a good mood!" Cai Gou raised his hand to let him sit down, handed him a cup of tea and asked:

"what happened?"

Cai Gou knew that Wu Xiu would not come to his office without formal matters. After all, although Wu Xiu was not responsible for any project, he was a veritable butler of Taiping Dao and was still very busy on weekdays.

Wu Xiu put down the tea cup in his hand and explained: "I just received a call from the senior executive of the Pokémon Licensing Company who has been in contact with our company. He said on the phone that he would like to request a high-level meeting with us at ten o'clock this morning. videoconference."

"Video conference? Because of what?" Cai Gou asked.

Wu Xiu's face darkened and he explained: "I made up a few words, but what he meant behind the scenes was about the exclusive licensing of Pokémon Continent."

Exclusive license?

The cooperation is good, and it stands to reason that they are also aware of the results of "Pokémon GO". The two parties should be in the honeymoon period now. How can they hold an impromptu video conference or discuss exclusive licensing?

Cai Gou frowned, thought for a moment and said: "Okay, I know about this. I will participate in the video conference in person. Angkor, you ask Zhong Chu, Zhu Ping'an, Fei Yangyang, they all gather in the small meeting, later Listen in."

"Hey, okay!"

Half an hour later. A group of senior executives from Taiping Road gathered in a small conference room. The video conference was officially held.

In the conference room across from the video, the staff of the Pokémon Licensing Company were arranged in an orderly manner, and sitting in the middle was the president Hisashi Ishihara.

He was chatting in Japanese, and the translator on the side was explaining simultaneously.

"General Tiangong, I'm glad to see you. The main reason for this rash video conference is..."

Following the simultaneous interpretation, Cai Gou finally understood what was going on.

Some time ago, Zheng Jingming, on behalf of Penguin Game Platform, went to the Pokémon licensing company to discuss with the senior management about the exclusive licensing of Pokémon in mainland China.

Of course, this will not affect the cooperation in "Pokémon GO", but the follow-up cooperation previously negotiated between Taipingdao and the Pokémon licensing company will definitely be greatly affected.

Ishihara Hisashi found out that there were conflicts between Taipingdao and Penguin Gaming Platform, especially the leaders of both parties, and he planned to play both sides and raise the price.

The whole speech is actually just one sentence——

"Taipingdao is my beloved relatives and friends, brothers and sisters... I need to pay more!"

Of course, it makes no difference to them who adds money between the two parties.

Just add money!

Video conferencing is polite, but the style of conduct is a bit underhanded.

Cai Gou thought of the book "The Chrysanthemum and the Knife" he had read in his previous life. Sure enough, the genes in the bones of this nation cannot be changed.

The spirit of craftsmanship!
Who wouldn't understand?
After Ishihara Tsunezhi finished speaking, an electronic document for the exclusive authorization for cooperation in mainland China was also transmitted.

The exclusive licensing fee is like Sun Wukong's somersault, it has increased countless times compared to before. Although there are factors of exclusiveness and non-exclusiveness, the main reason is that Hisashi Ishihara intends to raise the price from the ground up.

There was a playful smile on Cai Gou's mouth. Chong Zhu Ping'an raised his head.

"This offer is too outrageous and we cannot accept it." Zhu Ping'an immediately understood and spoke first:
"Furthermore, our cooperation has been very pleasant before, and we are very confident in the subsequent Pokémon game series. For you, you have lost our cooperation and want to expand the influence of Pokémon in the country. With Zheng Isn’t it child’s play to be smart about that three-legged cat?”

From the perspective of Taipingdao, these words were very restrained, but from the perspective of Ishihara Hisashi and other senior employees of the Pokémon licensing company, they were very arrogant and ridiculous.

"Zhu Jun, your statement is too ridiculous. The reason why "Pokémon GO" is successful is not because of the Pokémon IP? Isn't it because of the golden brand you mentioned?"

"As long as the golden brand of Pokémon IP is there, wouldn't it be easy to continue to expand its influence in the mainland?" Hisashi Ishihara said earnestly:

"To tell you the truth, the conditions given by Mr. Zheng are much more generous than those offered by you, General, regarding the subsequent series of Pokémon games, the expansion of the influence of the Pokémon brand, and the profit sharing ratio of the cooperation."

Cai Gou nodded slightly and asked, "In other words, if I don't sign this exclusive licensing agreement with a protection fee, will you plan to cooperate with Zheng Jingming in the future? Or even go against me?"

"Can I understand that?"

Ishihara Hisashi nodded as if he had a chance to win, "Okay."

Hisashi Ishihara, who had a good life as a child, was treating himself too much?
The follow-up cooperation, Taipingdao released the Pokémon series of games, was originally a matter of mutual benefit and win-win for both parties, but now it makes them inferior?
Eat my food?

Smash my pot?

Cai Gou said two words lightly: "Get out!"

Ishihara Hisashi froze on the spot. The reason why he held this video conference was mainly to try to get greater benefits from Cai Gou.

After all, even though Zheng Jingming is the person in charge of Penguin Gaming Platform, his past performance is too shabby.

However, Cai Gou's Taiping Road record can be checked, and there is also the example of "Pokémon GO". The only bad thing is that the profit sharing is too little.

To put it bluntly, Ishihara Tsunezhi wanted to force Cai Gou through Zheng Jingming, and even felt that under the current conditions, Cai Gou had no reason not to agree.

Ishihara Hisashi came to his senses and asked: "Cai Jun, what did you say?"

"I said, get lost! Subsequent cooperation is cancelled." Cai Gou paused and said:

"In the past, we were a cooperative relationship, which you may not understand, but from now on, we will be rivals, and you will soon understand. In mainland China, there are many opportunities. As long as you abide by the rules, you can still make money, but if you don't rule?"

"A gold-lettered sign? Haha, except for Taipingdao, who dares to say that one's own gold-lettered signboard will always be a gold-lettered signboard? What I like to smash most is the gold-lettered signboard, especially the opponent's gold-lettered signboard!"

Ishihara Hisashi's face was gloomy. He never expected that Cai Gou's attitude would be so firm or even arbitrary. Before he could speak, Cai Gou hung up the video conference, looked around at the crowd and said:
"I originally set my heart toward the bright moon, but why does the bright moon shine in the ditch?"

The crowd was full of momentum and shouted in unison: "Zheng Jingming stabbed us in the back, and Ishihara Hisashi wants to join in the fun - then fight!"
