Game Design: Is it possible? CaiGou

No. 3 Who can become a millionaire? (Please subscribe)

The activities on the Steam platform start this week. In the first week of the event, players can receive the game "The Heroes of the Three Kingdoms in Troubled Times".

The theme of the Three Kingdoms is an old and enduring theme. The audience of players is not only large, but also very sticky.

From the era of word games, to the era of pixel games, to the era of next-generation masterpieces, the era of exclusive handheld consoles, and now the era of virtual game cabins.

The theme of the Three Kingdoms, no matter how the game era changes, has always occupied a place in the game industry from beginning to end.

A large number of players have no resistance to this theme.

But they discovered it when they entered the event page of the steam platform with great interest and checked the detailed rules.

This activity is a bit of a scam.

If players want to receive [The Heroes of the Three Kingdoms in Troubled Times], they don’t just have to log in and sign in for seven consecutive days, but they also have to log in to the steam platform every day to complete various tasks.

Some tasks are also limited to specific games and daily durations. Players want to complete all tasks within a few hours.

But if these tasks are not completed, by the end of this week, players will completely lose the qualification to receive the game, and the accumulated task points will be converted into gold coins.

Although players can choose to purchase the game with gold coins, the price of gold coins in the game is very high. Players almost need to accumulate gold coins converted from points for five or six weeks before they can purchase a game.

As a result, players will either have to complete tasks intensively for a week, or choose not to participate in the event at all. Otherwise, they will not be able to complete the tasks, and the price/performance ratio will be too low.

Based on this calculation, the number of players who can complete the game collection activity will definitely not be too many.

"Holy shit, so many tasks? There are also forwarding and sharing, asking friends to register accounts, and dozens of tasks. Isn't this killing people?"

"I feel like these 18 games are not event rewards at all, but the platform gives me a fee for my hard work."

"Lan Shou, shiitake mushrooms..."

"Hey, reformers upstairs, don't make bad jokes!"

Some players complained that the event pictures on the steam platform did not match the real thing.

At the same time, some players who support the steam platform also spoke out. What kind of bike do they want?

It’s not like the Steam platform doesn’t allow you to get games for free. The platform has made so much effort, and now they don’t let you spend money, they just let you complete tasks.

As long as players complete the tasks on time, they can receive the game. Isn't this a very cost-effective deal?

Participation in the event is voluntary, there is no reason for players to turn around and morally kidnap the game platform, right?

The two players quarreled with each other, and no one was convinced by the other.

"No, are you used to being dogs on the platform? People just throw a bone and you just go up and wag your tail?"

"Bones? You compare eighteen 3A masterpieces to bones? Then your bones are too fragrant, right?"

"We have never denied the quality of the games released by these 18 game manufacturers. What I can't understand is the intensity of the activities. Do you understand?"

"I know nothing. If you think the event is not good, why don't you just stop participating? Isn't this event voluntary? Did the platform force you to participate?"

"What are you talking about? The purpose of his event is to prevent us from receiving all the games and playing word games. What? You can't say that?"

"It's just that the activities are not grand at all. General Tiangong's Taipingdao will not do this. Everyone sees the surprise feedback every year. Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts!"

"I just can't say it! What's wrong? Give it back to General Tiangong? Give it back to Taipingdao? The steam platform is giving away 18 3A games for free. What is General Tiangong's Taipingdao doing? Why don't you dare to follow?"

When the topic of the dispute between the two parties involved General Tiangong and Taiping Dao, the smell of gunpowder instantly increased several notches.

A large number of Yellow Turban troops came after hearing the news. Just as they were about to start a fight, they discovered Taiping Dao officials posting scarves on their Weibo.

More players posted comments——

"Good news, great news. Go check out the official Weibo account of Taiping Dao. Cyber ​​New Year is really here now!"

The two parties temporarily suppressed their anger and went to the Taiping Dao official account to check out the latest scarves.

[In order to promote better and faster development of the game industry, with the help of the Game Office of the Cultural and Entertainment Office, the Total Sense Game Alliance was established. 】

[The president of the first alliance is General Tiangong, and the founding members are as follows [Click to view the list for details]]

[72 million-dollar club members and Journey Cup participating manufacturers have joined the Total Senses Game Alliance. Taipingdao is very honored for this. 】

[Starting this week, Taipingdao will unite 72 game manufacturers to launch an 18-week platform activity. 】

[Every week, there will be Journey Cup participating games from 4 game manufacturers, exclusively logged into the Tianming Game Platform, and unified with a full-featured game mode. 】

[Players only need to log in to the Tianming Game Platform event page to receive it for free without any additional task requirements. 】

[Finally, in accordance with the principle of implementing the purpose of Taiping Dao from beginning to end, I, Lanny, only represent General Tiangong and all my colleagues at Taiping Dao to say hello to all players——]

【Okay ah? Vegetable dog? ! 】

Player: "???"

fan:"???"

media:"???"

The steam platform unites 18 million-member clubs to carry out activities.

Tianming Platform unites members of 72 tens of millions of clubs to carry out activities.

The event on the steam platform will release 18 games for 18 weeks.

The Tianming platform event will distribute 72 games for 18 weeks.

For games on the steam platform, if you want to claim them, you need to complete tedious and time-consuming tasks.

If you want to claim the games on the Destiny Platform, you only need to log in to the event page.

Isn’t this a judgment call?

OK, OK!

Old thief, you know how to fight in the ring.

After seeing this scarf, the player couldn't be more excited.

Over the next four months, the game library will be filled to the brim.

The only thing that makes players resist is that the 72 game manufacturers distribute all Journey Cup competition games.

In other words, 72 of them are horror-themed games.

The most important thing is that they are all full-featured versions.

Who can bear this?

If the player collects all games.

So why don't you stay in fear until the New Year?

Thinking of this, everyone was both happy and scared.

At the same time, a large number of Yellow Turban troops poured into the comment area.

"Hahahahaha, who just said that Taiping Road is not good? Heizi, speak up!"

"I'm not good at math. Let me ask you a question. Is 72 bigger than 18?"

"Total Sensing Game Alliance? This old thief is keeping quiet and playing a big game! I would like to call it a decisive victory!"

"Everyone, go to the event page of the Destiny Game Platform. There are four free games available for free this week, including the first, second and third prizes of this year's Journey Cup!"

"Oh, Mo? Get the award-winning masterpiece for free? This wave is so cool!"

“This time it’s really Cyber ​​New Year, I love Taiping Road!”

Taipingdao General Tiangong united, 72 members of tens of millions of clubs, to create the Total Senses Game Alliance.

With the blessing of 72 free games, it quickly became a hot search topic, knocking it out of the top spot on the steam platform's hot search rankings and replacing it.

【72 Ten Million Clubs】

[Destiny Platform vs. Steam Platform]

More and more players learned about this, and the popularity of the Tianming Platform suddenly increased.

What followed was a surge in player traffic, platform downloads, and discussions on the Destiny Game Platform.

This time, the Steam Platform and the Destiny Platform collided with real swords and guns, the smell of gunpowder on both sides, and the hint of tit-for-tat.

Even ordinary players can detect it, not to mention colleagues in the game industry who have already smelled the bloody atmosphere.

Game designers from all over the world gathered on the official website of Game Paradise, and the chat section was completely blown away.

"Damn it, General Tiangong will only kill you if he doesn't take action!"

"Crushing in all directions, really crushing in all directions!"

"At first, I thought that 18 games on the Steam platform was already a big deal. Who would have thought that there are 72 games on the Destiny platform? I am completely convinced."

"I heard that the profit sharing for game manufacturers who join the Tianming Platform is 28%, and the game manufacturers get 80% and the platform gets 20%."

"The benefits are so good? I thought that Tianming Game Platform, as the only full-featured game platform at present, would have a higher commission ratio. The conscience of the gaming industry has been confirmed."

"I love it, I love it, I love it completely. Even I can't help but download Tianming Platform. After all, click and get it. Who doesn't love it?"

On the first day of the confrontation between the two sides, the balance of victory gradually tilted towards the Tianming Platform.

The various data of this event on the Steam Platform are not optimistic. Although they meet the standards, they do not exceed psychological expectations. Moreover, after the Tianming Platform took action, the various data have been declining.

The next morning.

When Leon learned the specific data from the secretary, he was not surprised but happy, showing a proud smile, as if he saw a fish taking the bait.

What’s a ring without an opponent?

On the Destiny Platform, the show is about to begin.

Leon laughed softly and said: "Cai Gou, although I didn't expect you to be able to create a full-body game alliance, it's useless."

"How could you win me by imitating your moves?"

"I also want to thank you for giving me this wave of traffic!"

One p.m.

All publicity channels on the steam platform, including official Weibo, will publish announcements.

[The second round of large-scale events is coming·Treasure hunt event preview——]

[In this 18-week large-scale event, the games you can receive for free every week on the Steam platform actually have hidden secrets. 】

[After players complete the task and receive the game, they will receive a treasure map. 】

[Players can choose to open the treasure map by discovering and obtaining Easter egg keys in this week's game. 】

[There are rich prizes in the treasure map. Players can participate in random draws, or in the last week of the event, they can combine 18 treasure maps and 18 easter egg keys into tickets for the offline treasure hunt. 】

[Players with tickets for the treasure hunt event will participate in the offline treasure hunt event on the Steam platform one week after the event ends. 】

[In this treasure hunt, the first place will get a cash prize of five million, the second place will get a cash prize of three million, and the third place will get a cash prize of one million]

[Other rankings are also available, and you can receive free game gift packages and other rich prizes. What are you waiting for? Action is worse than excitement, come and join the treasure hunt activity on the steam platform]

Player: "!!!"

Water friend: "!!!"

Five...five million cash prize!

The steam platform’s announcement this time is very long, but in the eyes of players, there are only three words——

five million!

Five million is an extremely huge amount of money in the eyes of many ordinary people.

It is no exaggeration to say that winning the jackpot can definitely change a player's life.

It costs two yuan to buy a lottery ticket!

And how small is the probability of winning the jackpot?

But the activity organized by the Steam platform is different. Not only does it not require money, but the chance of winning is much higher than buying a lottery ticket.

Besides, even if you can't get the five million cash prize, it's not a loss to open the treasure map and randomly draw a prize...

Of course, the only disadvantage of this activity on the Steam platform may be that the entry threshold is too high, and all eighteen games need to get the Easter egg key.

In this way, if players want to get the Easter egg key, they need to spend a lot of money in the game, plus a little luck from the god of good luck.

But no matter what, it's a five million cash prize!

Let alone 18 games, let alone 72 games, even if 108 games are given to players for free, for players, it is not as good as the real cash prize.

This move by the Steam platform directly killed the game activity of the Destiny game platform from another dimension.

Because no matter how many free games are given away in the game activities of the Tianming game platform, players will only claim them and then continue to go to the Steam platform to complete the weekly tasks.

"Fuck? Five million cash prize? General, I have to backstab you this time. I believe you can understand that it is five million after all!"

"Oh my god, this is a huge investment? Treasure map? Easter egg key? Okay, I don't want to work hard for the next four months, I will work hard!"

"It turns out that the Steam platform has this trick. Once the cash prize is released, the daily tasks and weekly tasks are more complicated, which is normal!"

"18 treasure maps and Easter egg keys can be combined into tickets for the final offline activities. You can't miss them every week. There is no other way. Brothers, roll up your sleeves and get to work!"

The five million cash prize is both a carrot hanging in front of the players, which is unattainable but full of temptation, and a sword of Damocles hanging on the Tianming game platform and the head of General Tiangong.

Lanny got the news as soon as possible and ran to the office to find Cai Gou.

"General, it's not good. Leon is using a series of tricks this time. The games that are free on the Steam platform all contain Easter eggs, and there is also the temptation of a five-million-dollar cash prize."

"Players may enter the Tianming platform every day, click to receive the game, and do not choose to experience it immediately, but choose to store it, and then turn around and invest in the Steam platform to enter the game to find Easter eggs."

"What should I do? Now it seems too late to ask the 72 game manufacturers of the All-Sense Game Alliance to speed up version updates and add Easter eggs..."

"Oh?" Cai Gou showed a playful smile:

"Be patient, I'll see what's going on."

Cai Gou opened his mobile phone, checked the announcement of the Steam platform, and clicked on the comment area to check the comments and feedback of the players.

I have to admit that Leon's move is fast, accurate and ruthless, and there is something.

It seems that his first wave of moves is a trap, waiting for me to get in?

Cai Gou smiled and said, "This is really interesting."
