Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 85 Yin Mazi? Why aren't you pockmarked on your face? [Seeking for further reading]

Nowadays, the gaming industry across the country is the focus of most attention.

only one!

That is--

Game plus educational track!

Major game companies make other types of games and at most make money.

But if major game companies can make a name for themselves in game-plus-education competitions, and become the benchmark for the three-step game-plus-education strategy.

Let’s leave aside official awards and benchmark badges for now, just blend into this blue ocean and firmly occupy a certain market share.

Huge profits, amazing fame!

This is a matter of fame and fortune!

It's a pity that everyone knows that the game plus education model is orthodox to Huang Tian.

Therefore, what the entire industry is most concerned about is the current trends of Taipingdao Company.

When Taipingdao Company’s official Weibo released a scarf, it revealed information about this new game.

Most companies breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, with their own game themes and combined university majors, if there is no Crash Taipingdao Company, then there is still hope for everything.

But Wang Lang, who was in charge of this project at Penguin Game Platform, couldn't sleep all night after seeing this information.

The next day I got angry and had blisters on my mouth.

Wang Lang was sitting in his office, looking through Taipingdao's scarves unwillingly.

"I'm sorry, isn't this done?"

"Can this also hit the muzzle of a gun? I'm really convinced!"

After receiving the news, Qi Dongqiang immediately called Wang Lang to his office and cursed him, almost drowning him with spittle.

"What are you thinking now?"

Faced with Qi Dongqiang's question, Wang Lang tentatively said:

"How about we avoid their edge like other big manufacturers?"

"Idiot!" Qi Dongqiang cursed:

“The games and education-based games produced by other major companies are at most on the same track, but the games have completely different focuses.”

"It's understandable that they avoid the edge. Our game types are all the same, pure competitive products. How can we avoid the edge?"

"What do you mean?"

"Anyway, the game is still a semi-finished product. It doesn't matter if you change your thinking, make differences, and respond to the official call a little slower, but you can't fall into the same pit twice."

"Hey, I'll do it right away!"

The next day.

With Liu Ruoya's help, Huang Xin took the initiative to visit and discuss the Taipingdao Game Community APP.

Cai Gou informed him of his demands one by one and finally said:

"I hope to use this APP to further cultivate the fan stickiness of Taipingdao. From a professional perspective, is there anything missing?"

"Actually, according to Mr. Cai's idea, from the perspective of fan stickiness, you have already considered it very comprehensively."

Huang Xin put down the document in his hand and answered:

"Especially the game mall function can also expand the sales of game peripherals, which is a new profit growth point for your company."

"Why not just take it one step at a time and simply make this APP our own gaming platform?"

"You can rest assured that self-built platforms are also within our business range."

Cai Gou smiled when he heard this:

"Mr. Huang, I'm not as good as you in making software!"

"But when it comes to playing games, you are not as good as me!"

"How do you say that?" Huang Xin asked.

"Don't you hear the principle of building a wall high, hoarding food widely, and becoming a king slowly?"

Huang Xin laughed loudly when he heard this:

"Mr. Cai is really funny, I understand what you mean!"

The two negotiated a cooperation, and Cai Gou outsourced the task of the game community APP to Zhensanshan Technology Company.

And because of the relationship between Liu Ruoya and Sister Wang, and because Huang Xin is optimistic about Cai Gou's future development, the fee charged this time is even slightly lower than the market price, which can be regarded as everyone is happy.

Time flies and it’s early August.

During this time, the Internet was flooded with promotional advertisements from major game companies.

Some major manufacturers choose to avoid their edge at this stage.

There are also some major manufacturers who choose to take advantage of the popularity to release games.

Games and educational games are frequently put on the shelves, completely attracting the attention of players.

Unfortunately, after playing Kerbal Space Program, players always feel that games produced by other companies are a little less interesting.

As for saying this, what exactly does it mean?

I'm afraid even the players can't explain the reason clearly.

Douyu live broadcast platform, game area.

Boss Yin closed the game page out of boredom and said: "This accounting simulator, I thought it would be a bit new? Is this the result?"

"For me to play this game, I might as well take an online course in accounting!"

"Please, can you come up with something new?"

Seeing this, water friends posted barrages one after another——

"The real holy place for the accounting profession is Tilanqiao Prison!"

"This company doesn't understand accounting at first glance. The game can't make false accounts?!"

"My evaluation is - rely on the defense!"

"Upstairs, I won't allow you to insult your reply!"

Boss Yin looked at the time and found that City Skyline was already on the shelves, and said:

"okay!"

"Today we reviewed three games plus an educational mode. My evaluation is just superficial!"

"It's time for the highlight of today. Let's see what kind of surprise the old thief will bring us this time!"

As soon as these words came out, the barrage scrolled wildly.

"Great!"

"The wait is now!"

"Speed, speed!"

"Hey, I'm feeling excited all of a sudden!"

Boss Yin clicked on the steam platform and found that the city skyline suddenly appeared on the homepage recommendation.

"Tsk, tsk, it's amazing. With this level of publicity, the old thief really has some cards to his name!"

After entering the Cities Skylines game homepage, the first thing that catches your eye is a game CG.

With row upon row of high-rise buildings and asphalt roads extending in all directions, an international metropolis comes into view.

The camera perspective switches quickly, leading players to appreciate the prosperity of this city.

In this lifelike city, where citizens work, live and play, everything is so real.

Then, time passed quickly.

Day, dusk, night, dawn, summer, snow.

Different faces of the city at different points in time are gradually revealed to the players.

Until the final scene is frozen, a line of large characters appears in the sky——

All! city! sky! The occasion! Wire!

The water friends went crazy when they saw this.

Building an international metropolis from scratch?

Can players reach this level in the end?

Water friends are extremely excited just thinking about it!

"Ah! Great! This is my dream game!"

“Urban planning major double chef is ecstatic!”

"Come on him, charge him hard!"

After watching the promotional video, Boss Yin said excitedly:

"Hey! It tastes like that!"

"It has to be you, old thief!"

[Game Name: City Skylines]

[Developer: Taipingdao Company]

[Type: Simulation·Management·Construction·Transportation·Single Player]

[Price: 88 yuan]

[Message from the developer: No way, no way? Is there anyone who can’t understand it? ! 】

Seeing such an arrogant message from the developer, Boss Yin's mouth twitched and said:

"Arrogant!!"

"I can even imagine the old thief's tone when he said this!"

"I, Yin Mazi, must show some color to the old thief!"

The water friends did not take it too seriously to watch the excitement and directly added fuel to the fire.

"Okay, hard enough!"

"Yin Mazi? Why don't you have pockmarks on your face?"

"The county magistrate is here, and there is peace in Echeng! The county magistrate is here, and the sky is clear—"
