Build a game empire from scratch

"Over the two days of the weekend, more than 12.6 million players have entered the virtual world of "Light Yu"."

Xiaochun, as the team leader, reported on the situation of "Light Yu", "The number of people online at the same time peaked at 9.1 million, and the specific time was on Sunday afternoon. It should be because the latest batch of mirages arrived one after another, ushering in a large number of people. of new players enter."

The posters were all pre-made, and the weekend holiday did not affect them sending out celebration posters.

"RANK-popular game rating list, the current score of "Light Yu" is 9.2 points, and the overall evaluation is very positive."

"The cash income generated by players buying monthly cards exceeds 160 million, and the payment ratio is close to 40%. Many players have purchased multiple monthly cards at one time. Based on this, the retention rate of subsequent games should also be extremely high."

...

These statistics are very eye-catching, and Lin You took the lead in applauding them.

Qin Songyun, as always, applauded the loudest.

Of course, Lin You didn't just applaud and give them 24 months, 12 months, and 6 months' salaries as bonuses according to the degree of participation in the project.

Some new employees have just joined for a few days, and their participation rate is really not high, but they have also received a lot of bonuses. At this moment, their faces are full of surprises.

Then Lin You made arrangements, and Xiaochun continued to take the lead in making a new map for the first season's activities. You can do it slowly without rushing, and there is still plenty of time, but you must keep improving.

"The early season activities can be extended, and a new map and daily routine can be used for two months." Lin You talked about the long-term operation plan.

"But when your team has more people and is more handy, you can shorten this cycle. As for whether to shorten it to 45 days or shorten it to one month, you can decide based on the feedback from the players at that time."

In terms of new map production, he will also exist as a guarantee measure.

If the maps made by Xiaochun and the others fail to meet the requirements in the review, then he will take out the map from his previous life and put it on top, but correspondingly, they will not get new bonuses.

Lin You felt that things would not develop to that point. After all, there were enough ready-made maps for reference, and they themselves were good enough. Making a new map should not be difficult for them no matter how you think about it.

"No problem!" Xiaochun replied, full of confidence, without any nervousness.

After talking about "Light Yu", it was Fan Rui's turn to report on the "Quick Chase" project.

But there is actually nothing worth mentioning about "John Wick" right now, the main thing is to report on the development progress.

It is still in the stage of setting up the virtual world and adjusting the actions of key NPCs, so it will not encounter any complicated problems.

Only when we start to make specific plots and battle levels will we encounter relatively difficult problems.

For example, should the key NPCs be given a chance to survive? If so, where should players be left with the opportunity to intervene?

Another example is the expansion of the battle scale, how to divide the difficulty reasonably, so that the difficulty will increase simultaneously with the increase of the player's combat power.

This needs to be discussed and resolved by everyone.

This is also the experience accumulated in the production of "League of Assassins".

Finally, there is the key "League of Assassins".

It's just that it was not Qin Songyun who spoke first, but Zhong Chang, the person in charge of the marketing department.

"Boss, when arranging the event plan, you can consider the possibility of simultaneous live broadcast."

"Live broadcast of the event?" Lin You looked at Zhong Chang.

"Yes, several large domestic live broadcast platforms have contacted us, mainly to test the broadcast rights of the event." Zhong Chang explained, "Our event is actually very similar to a large-scale event, and it can be broadcast live as a game. , can effectively amplify the attention of the game, and can also earn an extra income by the way.”

Lin You was deep in thought. It is of course a good thing to amplify the popularity of the game, but the form of the event will inevitably be affected.

He looked at Qin Songyun: "If it is made into a live broadcast of the event, can the current event plan take care of it?"

Qin Songyun looked at the plan in hand, "Yes, but the schedule needs to be adjusted again."

Lin You flipped through the new version of the plan, and soon understood what Qin Songyun meant.

In the new version of the event plan, the event schedule is extended to one week. The event dedicated server will be opened at 7:00 pm every day, and all players will compete indiscriminately. In the last two days, Saturday and Sunday, the server will be open around the clock to determine the final winner. By.

If there is a live broadcast, it will be difficult for the audience to find the focus without such a gradient division process. In the end, the impression may be that everyone is fighting in a mess, and then the event is over.

It's like watching loneliness.

However, if the gradient is clearly divided and the two clear differences between "sea election" and "decisive battle" are distinguished, the audience will easily grasp the key points.

Then in the audition stage of the previous few days, there is no need to wait until the evening to open the server: when registering in advance, let players choose which day to join the audition according to their own schedule.

In this way, during the live broadcast, the winning teams left every day are also easy to leave memory anchors for the audience, so that a bunch of teams will not be confused who is who.

After the audition is completed, within two days of the weekend, all the teams selected from the audition will be put into the same server for a two-day melee.

By the way, in the final stage of the decisive battle, we should try our best to open the main perspective live broadcast room for the participating teams, so that the audience can find the team they support and have a more sense of participation.

After some discussion, Lin You decided to add two more days to the schedule, and the entire activity period was extended to 9 days.

The previous 7 consecutive days of auditions ensure that all players who want to participate in the event will have the opportunity to participate.

The decisive battle is still the last two days, and this will not change.

Competition time - the audition starts at 9:00 am and ends at 5:00 pm.

Two days of decisive battle, the start time is postponed to 2 pm, and the end time is 10 pm!

Eight hour work system! It perfectly fits Lin You's philosophy.

"Speaking of which, do we compete all online? Or do we go offline during the finals?" Qin Songyun asked.

Lin You thought for a while, "If you are looking for a large-scale event venue now, it will be too late, right? It will take a lot of time to set up and prepare."

"That's right." Qin Songyun reacted, he was a little too excited, "Our final battle, there are too many players participating, and every day after the audition is over, we have to communicate and arrange to come offline the next day. The uncertainty is too great. It’s too big to be possible.”

That's right, Lin You thought, after all, it's not a real e-sports event, and many of the players participating are just for fun.

However, in the form of a big melee game, whether you can survive in many cases depends not only on strength, but also on luck.

With enough luck, it is entirely possible to go all the way to the final.

It's hard to say whether or not they would be willing to fly thousands of kilometers to participate in offline competitions for such game-playing participants.

"Forget it, just go online!" Lin You made a decision, and then he looked at Zhong Chang: "I leave the live broadcast platform to you, money is not important, the important thing is that the live broadcast must be broadcast on all platforms."

"Understood." Zhong Chang nodded.

But what he thought in his heart was: money is not important to you, boss, but it is too important to me! This is a direct means of proving my ability!

The first thing he did when he joined the job was to negotiate with Nan Zhi, and if he didn't show his skills, he would feel uncomfortable!

"This time, we will not only do things beautifully, but also make the company earn a lot of money! Just keep your eyes open!" Zhong Chang secretly made up his mind.
