Game designer: I make games, not charity

After making a decision in my heart.

Mr. Ma even summoned all the employees of the game department of "Legend of Warriors" for a meeting.

Although the time is already approaching 9:00 pm.

But at this time, there was still no employee in the Penguin Building who dared to leave work.

As soon as the message that Ma was going to have a meeting was transmitted.

Throughout "Legend of Warriors", all the employees of the game department went directly to the conference room.

When these employees filled the conference room, Mr. Ma was still in the office and did not come over.

In the conference room, all employees were trembling and panicking.

The speed of messaging in the company is fast.

Almost all of them heard that not long ago, President Ma was angry, but he fired Xu Chen, the head of the game department of "Legend of Warriors"!

He is also the fastest promoted person in recent years.

But now, even Xu Chen has been fired!

This is enough to prove that "Legend of the Warriors" and Waterloo are the matter.

How angry it was for the horses, who

were waiting for them... For

a time, people in the conference room naturally panicked, everyone was in danger, and they all lowered their heads down, and no one dared to touch the mold of the horse at this time.

Snap.... The crisp sound of leather shoes sounded from outside the conference room door.

The sound is getting closer.

The employees in the conference room are also getting nervous.

Finally.

Squeak.

The conference room door was pushed open, and the employees all turned their heads like quails with their necks shrunk.

But he was surprised to find that after entering the conference hall, Mr. Ma did not have the slightest anger on his face.

Instead, he still had a faint smile.

Looks very kind.

It didn't look like he was angry at all.

Is there a mistake in messaging?

It can't be, the computer version of "Legend of Warriors" has become like this.

How could Mr. Ma not be angry?

And Mr. Ma seemed to see the solemnity of the atmosphere in the conference room, and walked to the main seat with a smile on his face.

We

are still in the infancy of our game, and we need to work hard!

Seeing

President Ma like this, all the employees couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Many new employees who joined the company even felt that the news they had heard in the mouths of the old people before was wrong.

A gentle person like Mr. Ma should not casually fire employees.

That supervisor Xu, maybe in addition to this game, he also committed other problems.

Only then will Ma Zong endure it unbearably, and finally endure the pain of expelling him.

And some old employees, although not as naïve as new employees.

But it was also a sigh of relief.

Since President Ma did not continue to pursue responsibility, it also means that this time the defeat, almost all the pots were carried by Xu Chen, who had already gone home to rest.

These people should be safe in a short time,

but will they be safe after that... No one knows.

Ma Zong's face still had a smile on his face, and he continued to speak: "Now that "The Legend of the Warriors" has suffered a setback and Xu Chen has left again, everyone must be very worried and worried in their hearts, right?

The attitude of doing things is very unserious, and the perspective problem that the shooting player complained about this time is also because he is in a hurry, and he did not make too many changes, so he directly started the closed beta.

So for the time being, I'll let him go home and calm down.

Next.

The entire PC version of "Legend of Warriors", the game department, will be handled by me for the time being.

I have fully understood the situation of our game before, and I have basically made a plan to deal with it.

This time the content of the meeting is mainly about this.

So you must hurry up and raise your spirits, I am calling the shots here, but really, the important work still depends on you to do it!" Mr

. Ma's words immediately made the originally low atmosphere of the conference room a little more energetic.

The employees who lowered their heads and did not even dare to look at him also opened their eyes wide, and the expressions on their faces became serious.

Seeing this, President Ma nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he took out a list, named the senior executives in the finance department, and said: "When we encounter difficulties, we will solve them."

The main thing now is to eliminate the anger of the players, since the players are angry and clamoring for refunds, then the finance department will deal with it immediately.

An executive of the finance department wondered: "Mr. Ma, do you really want a refund?" Mr. Ma nodded: "

Yes, we not only want

to refund, but also refund quickly! I limit you to one day, calculate the sales amount of the internal test activation code, and then one-on-one, all refund to the closed test players!

At the same time, Mr. Ma turned to the executives of the operation department and said: "In addition, the operation department, immediately convene the public relations team and issue an apology statement! If you fail, you must review, if you do wrong, you must admit your mistake!

He single-handedly brought Penguin to where it is today, and he knows one thing very well.

A

game company that is hated by players will inevitably not go far!

Although "Legend of Warriors" encountered Waterloo this time, as long as it is operated properly, it will all be blamed on Xu Chen openly and secretly.

Let the players' anger have a window to vent.

In this way, players will not be angry with the entire goose factory.

You

know, these players who are willing to spend money to buy the closed beta activation code are a very valuable asset of Goose Factory.

Mr. Ma also wants these players to help him against Platinum.

This is also another reason why President Ma expelled Xu Chen.

Now the scolding of players has rushed to the forefront of Weibo's hot search.

Naturally, such a major event cannot be regarded as not happening.

Therefore, there must be someone to take up this responsibility, and this person's status in the goose factory must not be low.

Xu Chen, who was basically worthless, was naturally the best choice!

After arranging the more urgent things in the past two days.

Mr. Ma immediately set his sights on the employees of the technical department.

The employees in the technical department are not as relaxed as in other departments.

This time "Legend of Warriors" is what they are responsible for modifying, and in this situation, they can almost be said to have an unshirkable responsibility.

But Mr. Ma smiled lightly, did not blame anyone at all, but directly spoke, and said the next game production plan:

"If you want to defeat the enemy, you must first understand the enemy, recently, I played all the games of Platinum and found that the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" they produced, and our "Legend of the Warriors" in terms of expression, are very similar in expression, are biased towards the real style.

In this case, let's immediately remove the original "Legend of Warriors" from the shelves and modify it according to the mode of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"!

Other things can also be generally referenced, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", this game.

An executive of the technical department asked with some hesitation: "But Mr. Ma, but will this constitute plagiarism?" Mr. Ma

immediately shook his head: "This is a technical thing, if this is all plagiarism, then the perspective and expression of all VR games are exactly the same, are all VR games plagiarism?"

The senior executive of the technical department immediately lowered his head and did not dare to speak anymore.

Mr. Ma did not continue, he was very familiar with the law on plagiarism issued not long ago.

Then

, Mr. Ma looked around and attracted the attention of everyone in the entire conference room.

His voice suddenly increased a little, and he said very seriously: "There is one more thing, and it is also the biggest change we need to make to the game at this meeting.

Our "Legend of Warriors" computer version, starting today, will also be changed

to free! Use the set of platinum dungeons, the game is free, props pay mode!

If anyone still does not understand this mode, what is going on, give me all my spare time after finishing the work to play a platinum game.

After the game content is modified, start to build a system for paying for props!

When the next open closed beta, announce the news!"

The entire staff was dumbfounded.

A few executives with a slightly higher status immediately asked in disbelief: "Mr. Ma, do we really want to do free?"

"yes, and... You also said before that it is absolutely impossible for our goose factory to make free games, and if it suddenly changes now, it will inevitably be in front of the public..."

The executive did not finish his sentence.

But anyone can hear what he means.

Before Ma Zong was promoting the "Legend of Warriors" TV series.

But I said it myself, I will definitely not make free games.

Although

the others did not say anything, the expressions on their faces fully expressed their thoughts, which were no different from these high-ranking officials.

Mr. Ma looked at the expressions of these employees, and the smile on his face was put away for the first time.

He tapped his finger on the table and said in a deep voice: "This matter does not need to be discussed, I have already made a decision, you can find a way to implement it, are there any other questions? Mr

. Ma said so, where did the employees dare to have any objections, they all nodded and agreed, ended the meeting, and went back to busy changing the game.

Just half a minute later, Ma Zong was left alone in the entire conference room.

Employees can think of the shame of making free games.

How could President Ma not have imagined,

but he would not affect the overall situation because of the trivial matter of losing face or not.

Businessmen are like that, shopping malls are like battlefields.

As a mature and successful businessman, Ma knows very well.

If you

can get rich without face, then this is definitely the easiest way to make money at the lowest threshold.

......

And at this time, Platinum Games.

The employees in the entire platinum game company are also working

overtime, but the content of their overtime work is staring at the data of the first day of "Dungeons and Warriors" in the conference room!

Chen Feng sat in the highest position, looked at the data on the big screen, and slowly read:

"The first day of prop charges made a profit of 3.85 million.

Among them, the products with the highest recharge purchase rate are Resurrection Coin and Anti-Fatigue Potion.

One sold 1.4 million respectively and the other sold 1.15 million. Well, not bad.

Very good!"

Chen Feng said while nodding with great satisfaction, obviously in a good mood.

The surrounding employees led by Luo Zhonghao also felt a little surprised.

They originally thought that this game would only lose money, but they didn't expect that it would really make money.

In just one day, relying on props to charge, he made a profit of more than three million, which is already an extremely good data.

It's just that...... Luo Zhonghao glanced down at the computer and looked at the number of people online.

Twenty-three million!

although it has only been online for less than two days.

And when Dungeons & Warriors was released, they didn't do much publicity and advertising.

But there is already such amazing data.

Suffice it to say how much the world's No. 1 free game is!

As more players enter, it will gradually attract other players close to the player to join the game.

This number will only go up over time,

provided that there are no weird problems with the game's subsequent operations....

The first-day earnings on the screen before really made Luo Zhonghao feel a little surprised.

But if you put that first-day earnings together with the number of people online in front of you....

Luo Zhonghao's excitement was gone.

Under

such strong publicity pressure from Goose Factory, their "Dungeons and Warriors" actually has more than 20 million simultaneous online people!

If

you can adopt the point card charging model, the money earned in this day can at least increase by more than ten times, and the

comparison of these two data also shows it.

Although there are indeed players, they willingly take the initiative to purchase paid props.

But there are also a huge number of players, who are really for nothing

! How can people withstand this!

The game they have worked hard to make, these players can play if they want.

Luo Zhonghao and others who have never seen anything in this parallel world.

One thought about it.

It is even more uncomfortable in the heart.

Of course, they also understand that if the game is not free, it may not attract so many players.

But that being said.

But Luo Zhonghao and the other employees still felt a bit of a loss! Therefore, Luo Zhonghao

thought for a moment and tentatively opened his mouth to tentatively ask: "President Chen, do you say that we should raise the price of the two products of fatigue value potion and resurrection coin a little bit?

And the big sale of anti-fatigue potion may only be because players have just started playing and playing freshly, so they will spend money to buy it.

If they play a little longer, they may not buy so crazy.

So

I suggest, just suggest that Mr. Ha Chen, we can take advantage of the current sales and raise the price a little bit!" Luo

Zhonghao's requirements are not high, and he can mention as much as he can.

Now these two props are selling so hot, if they can mention an extra dime, they will earn an extra dime!

After Luo Zhonghao finished speaking, the other employees around him also nodded, deeply impressed.

They are also all knowledgeable and know that the lifespan of a game is definitely not too long.

Even the most popular online game in Goose Factory can generally live for three or five years.

After all, the gaming industry is always improving, there will be more and more talent, and more and more new games will be launched.

How can a game not eat for 10 years and 8 years, so

you must quickly earn the money back while you can make

money! Not to mention, their "Dungeons and Warriors" is still a free game!

Luo Zhonghao originally thought that Chen Feng should be able to agree this time.

But who knows, Chen Feng still shook his head, looked at the employees, and suddenly showed a smile on his face: "Our game is so good, it is completely because of the support of players, how can we increase the price?

However, Chen Feng was still there and said to himself: "We will launch a small update in the game immediately, and I plan to launch a prop called the magic box."

and a lucky hammer to open boxes.

There must be a lot of good things in the box, and some garbage may also be opened, but in order to ensure the interests of the player, the box must also be able to open a resurrection coin.

This time the data is very good, after the update, all players who registered in these two days will first give a free magic box and a lucky magic hammer!" In

order to be able to get the game on time, so after the game body was done, Chen Feng directly opened the service.

Paid props didn't do much.

This is also why the mall is placed in a corner that is more difficult to find.

After all, there's nothing to sell yet.

Nowadays, the game has been successfully launched, both sniping at the goose factory and achieving such good results.

The construction of the mall and other paid props naturally began to accelerate!

However, after listening to Chen Feng's words, Luo Zhonghao and the others were completely numb.

This .

. Chen always really wants to get charity to the end!!
