Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

As for the current environment of the game industry, it is basically similar to the situation of Pei Qian in 2009.

For example, the hottest online game has changed from Yamaguchi Mountain to Fantasy World, CS to Anti-Terrorism Plan, DOTA to Divine Apocalypse, the packaging is not the same, but the gameplay is not bad.

Mobile games have improved significantly, which may be because hardware development is faster than in previous lives.

For example, Pei Qian's previous card mobile games benefited from the popularity of smart phones. It only appeared in 2012. In the parallel world, smart phones appeared earlier, so similar games have appeared around 2008, and are now very mature. Game type.

"It would be very clear then."

"I only need to spend money to purchase templates and art resources on the resource station, spend all 50,000 pieces, and then make the game unplayable and unsellable. It will be equivalent to losing money after two weeks."

"Perfect!"

After making up her mind, Pei Qian started searching for the template she wanted in the resource station.

"Basic template for driving simulation, 20,000, with a set of maps inside and outside the vehicle."

"Scene template, desert highway template, 15,000, if you need dynamic changes in the environment, you need to add 8,000, a total of 23,000."

"A bit expensive, but I just want to be expensive!"

"There isn't any money left."

"Radio music, 30 of the 100 selected songs, or randomly played by the system in the library, 6000."

"There are 1000 yuan left, um ... buy a simple leaderboard function, and you can't afford anything else."

After thinking about it a little, Pei Qian went crazy to place an order on the resource station, and quickly spent 50,000 yuan on it.

These resources are not expensive to be honest.

For example, this driving simulation basic template can be set in the game editor to realize the basic functions of driving simulation games.

Throttle, brakes, corners, collisions, and more.

The desert highway scene itself supports freely adjusting the length of the journey in the editor, and the desert scene will have some random changes.

After adding the environmental change simulation function, there will be environmental changes such as rising sun, sunset and wind and sand.

Because they are universal templates, many independent game makers will also buy them, so hitting the face is 100% of what happens.

In order to avoid hitting the face, some producers will customize some art resources for replacement. Of course, the investment will continue to increase.

But Pei Qian doesn't care about this.

How about hitting your face? Hit! Anyway, I'm in order to lose money. I ca n’t wait for players to play this game because they hit their faces!

Pei Qian started making games.

Although it is to lose money, but this game must at least pass the review of ESRO and successfully listed.

If it is a semi-finished product with severely missing functions, it cannot pass the audit of ESRO, and Pei Qian may be found to be in violation of the rules.

So, no matter how bad the game is, the basic functions must be complete.

Drag the basic template into the editor, and then drag the scene template into it.

Then there is a big frame for this game. After the players enter the game, they can drive on the desert road.

However, the resources you buy cannot be wasted.

Pei Qian also added a radio function to the vehicle. Players can turn on the radio while driving and listen to random music.

Is some niche music or very traditional classic music, those popular songs, it is impossible to buy this for a little money.

Next, it is a more critical issue.

到底 What is the core gameplay of this game?

Pei Qian himself didn't know.

Racing?

Don't make a mess, you don't have the money to do it.

I can only afford one basic template, only one car's texture, and only one scene.

Those complicated tracks, beautiful cars, and related gameplay programs for racing, can't afford it!

怎么 What can I do if I ca n’t afford it?

Pei Qian patted his head and got it.

核心 The core gameplay of the game is very simple, just drive!

开 From the start point to the end point, you can clear the level!

But this is not the case, all are patched up with general resources. There is no innovation in gameplay, and it is estimated that it is difficult to pass the review.

I have to make some changes to ensure that the game can be reviewed; but this change is not too good, you must ensure that the game can lose money, no one can play!

Pei Qian thought about it, and directly stretched the scene of the desert track infinitely.

Pull to the full game for 8 hours!

Yes, players need to drive on this road for 8 hours to reach the end, and the desert road will turn once in a while.

Players want to clear the level with just one key, that's impossible.

In this way, the gameplay is different from the ordinary driving simulation games on the market, and it should be able to pass the trial.

Moreover, such a cheating game must not be scolded by players? This game can make money before there is a ghost!

Pei Qian is very excited and feels like a genius.

Finally, use a very rudimentary method to make a game clearance interface, and a line will be displayed: "Congratulations, success wasted precious 8 hours in life!"

Even if someone really can clear the level, he must be so angry that he won't play my company's games anymore!

Buy the leaderboard function can not be wasted, make a "waste time leaderboard", count the "passthrough times" and "effective game time" of each player.

This ranking is useless, it is just to arrange the functions bought by money.

Twenty-three divided by five divided by two, and soon completed.

These functions belong to the basics among the functions supported by the editor. You only need to perform some simple drag and change parameters, which is almost handy.

Self-taught editors, buying resources, and making games all add up to less than two hours.

"Such a mentally retarded game, I'm indestructible!"

Pei Qian finished the game and tested it on his own computer.

Then I quit the game in five minutes, UU read the book www. uukanshu.com almost vomited.

Going in is driving, driving, driving, bored to explosion!

Pei Qian was satisfied and released the game immediately.

Game name: "Lonely Desert Highway".

简介 Introduction to the game: Drive alone on a desert road for several hours and you will get some thoughts about life.

Pei Qian was very entangled when he wrote the introduction.

Blow yourself? Inappropriate, what if we really attract a batch of title parties?

Darken yourself? It's not suitable, that's too obvious. On the one hand, you are worried about being violated by the system. On the other hand, you are also afraid of stimulating the player's rebellious psychology. The more you say that the game is garbage, the more he wants to play.

Therefore, write the profile honestly, so that players will not be interested at first glance!

Then it's pricing.

Pei Qian set a price of 1 yuan for the game.

He doesn't want to be too high, it must be too high, there are really a few second-hand goods brains to buy it, he is not losing money!

The price is low enough, even if so many players buy it, it will not affect Pei Qian's loss.

After all is done, Pei Qian uploads the game, waits for the game review and approval, and automatically puts it on the official game platform.

This process generally ranges from a few hours to two or three days.

The official platform is a fully automatic recommendation effect. The same batch of new games will automatically recommend based on changes in data. Unless there is a malicious brushing, the management will not intervene.

Pei Qian is not worried at all.

This is a junk game. After being put on the shelves, there will be no one to worry about, and the speed of light will be cool. Wait for two weeks to arrive, and 50,000 yuan will be in your hands.

Pei Qian closed the laptop and felt comfortable and happy.
