Game designer: I make games, not charity

The happy time of playing games with female apprentices always passes quickly.

But fortunately, Wang Miao and this female apprentice got along quite happily.

In the next few days, Wang Miao would go online every day at noon and evening to do tasks and level up with female apprentices.

The relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, just like the intimacy value in the game, and the naked eye is more intimate.

And the number of masters and apprentices like Wang Miao and this female apprentice, as well as friends and partners, is undoubtedly extremely large in the game.

In addition, there has been an influx of new players every day in the past few days.

As a result, the original set of big tasks in the game, the reputation value of the whole network has also accumulated, and the various buildings of the Great World of Sword and Fairy have begun to be gradually repaired.

In the big world, there are more and more tasks to do, and the playability is getting higher and higher.

So, that night, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" issued an announcement to prepare for the suspension of the server update.

......

Platinum Games, Inc.

Conference room.

The big screen displays the player data of The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

[Number of new arrivals in one hour: 113294]

This data represents that today, registered players are still growing at a rate of nearly 110,000 per hour.

Even this 110,000 is already an achievement that many VR games cannot achieve in a lifetime.

But this is only the number of players that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has grown in an hour.

And this also shows that the popularity of the game "Immortal Sword" is still high and continues to rise.

[Total number of registered players: 63323755]

This is the number of all registered players in the game over a total of seven days.

A total of 63 million people.

This number has already set off a storm and waves in the entire game circle of the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, this figure of more than 63 million is obviously not the end of this game of Platinum Games!

[Average number of people online at the same time: 3082355]

This data represents the loyalty of gamers and the earning power of this point card buyout game!

This data is translated from the average of nearly 300,000 people online.

That's equivalent to 24 hours a day, with nearly 300,000 people playing games with continuous recharge points.

That's not a small number.

You must know that 5 of these 7 days are in working hours.

Most players don't have that much time in the game.

But "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" can still get such excellent results.

That's enough to prove how loyal players are to the game.

And according to the calculation of money, the price of a point card for one dollar an hour.

This game can earn 300,000 yuan in one hour.

You can earn 7.2 million 24 hours a day.

During these 7 days.

The game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has already brought a full 50 million revenue to Platinum Games!

Although this number will not be maintained after the game's players have fully stabilized.

The more players there are, the fewer you will have.

But that's good enough.

An achievement that most games in this world simply can't achieve!

Take Goose Factory's "Xian Xia Simulator" for comparison.

Today, the average number of people online for the game has dropped to 9,360.

According to the calculation of 30 yuan point card for 1 hour in this game, you can only earn it in one hour, and it is less than 300,000 yuan.

And the price of this game is 30 times that of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"!

And there is another very important point, that is, the average online number of people in the game Goose Factory is still declining.

From the 1st day to the 7th day, there are constantly players of the "Xian Xia Simulator" of Goose Factory, like Wang Miao, who are attracted to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

As long as the player is exposed to both games.

Unless it's a particular preference for VR games.

Otherwise, most people will not continue to waste time and money on Goose Factory's "Fairy Simulator".

Faced with such data, the faces of all the employees were full of excited smiles.

From the data level, this time, Platinum Games has been a complete victory.

But that's just the beginning!

Chen Feng cleared his throat, looked at some game data and information on the computer screen in front of him, and said lightly:

"The enthusiasm of players to do tasks in the Great World of Immortal Sword is too high, many buildings have almost been perfected, and the corresponding functions are also online.

In that case, tonight, unlock both the light work mechanism and the PK function. "

When designing this game, Chen Feng integrated the interaction system in "Sword Net 3" and some combat mechanisms.

But he originally paid more attention to the plot elements of the legend of Sword and Fairy, so he ignored the enthusiasm of players in the big world.

Originally, he also felt that the big world was just a leisurely platform-style function, allowing players to hang up in the big world after playing the single-player plot, chat and play leisurely.

Who knows, the players are too livery, too enthusiastic, and constantly brush monsters and rush in the plot, and they are actually constantly brushing and brushing back in the big world.

The interactive system and the light power mechanism of the big world, which was originally planned to be opened about a week later, also had to be launched in advance.

Of course, because various bugs have been repaired before, even if the functions in these aspects are launched in advance, there will be no problems.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Zhonghao next to him mentioned again: "President Chen, does the second half of the first expansion pack of Immortal Sword also have to be released, and now the overall reputation value has basically been brushed out."

Chen Feng nodded: "Okay, then take advantage of this opportunity to update, and prepare to release it."

After saying this, after a pause, he asked Luo Zhonghao to arrange for the propaganda department to find several more game live broadcast platforms to cooperate and increase publicity.

Although the results of "Immortal Sword" are already very good, Chen Feng knows that this is just the beginning!

Although the plot of the first expansion pack is already excellent, the plot of the next "Immortal Sword 3" and "Immortal Sword 4" is better than one!

Only when these expansion packs are all released will the data of "Immortal Sword" really usher in a big climax!

Therefore, the propaganda naturally cannot be left behind, and they must take advantage of the victory and pursue.

And the anchor publicity is very valuable to many games, and it is also extremely cost-effective!

......

In a messy rental house.

The harsh sunlight shone through the curtains and fell on the sofa in the room, on the face of a young man.

He didn't notice it at all, still closing his eyes and sleeping soundly.

At this time, the mobile phone next to the man suddenly rang!

The crisp and shrill ringing finally woke up the sleeping man.

The man answered the phone, and the voice of a manager of their guild came from the other end.

"Hey, Xiao Liu, don't broadcast VR games tonight, just received an event on the platform, tonight you will broadcast "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". In addition, we also helped you find a female anchor to play games with you at night. The

man was stunned for a moment, before he could say anything.

The other end had already hung up the phone.

The man's name is Liu Yu, and he is full-time engaged in live broadcasting.

Although he has no other skills, but because he has a VR game pod at home.

So you can afford to eat this bowl of rice live!

Most of the game streamers in this world basically broadcast VR games.

So the biggest threshold is a VR game warehouse of hundreds of thousands.

Even if ordinary people want to do it, they simply can't afford to buy such an expensive thing.

However, because he is slightly paralyzed and his live broadcast style is relatively dull, the heat of his live broadcast room has been tepid.

If it weren't for the help of the guild, he contacted some female anchors to interact and cooperate with him, but I was afraid that he who was engaged in live broadcasting, even eating would be a problem.

This time the guild arranged for him to broadcast computer games, and although he was a little reluctant in his heart, he could only accept it calmly after thinking about the real problems for a while.

Without the help of the guild, he Liu Yu was afraid that he could only end the live broadcast industry and go to find a class.

This kindness Liu Yu has always remembered in his heart.

Since there is an arrangement on the guild's side, just follow the guild's arrangement.

So, Liu Yu got up and washed up, ran to the table, opened his slightly outdated computer, downloaded "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and prepared to play for a while, practice his hands, and wait until the night live broadcast, so that he can be more proficient.

After downloading and entering the game.

Looking at the antique picture in the Great World of Immortal Sword, coupled with the beautiful music, the overall feeling gave Liu Yu an unprecedented impact.

Liu Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"How can a computer game be so good?"

Only then did he begin to throw away his previous prejudices, patiently, and play along with the plot of the game.

When playing the story expansion, Liu Yu felt that the game was indeed very good, but he was not particularly interested.

He has never been very interested in the plot of the game.

When he skipped the plot and returned to play in the big world, Liu Yu began to become a little addicted.

And what makes him particularly addicted is the light work in the big world, and the PK system!

First of all, after the last update, the light power system that has just been opened in the game!

Such a smooth light skill, but it is completely absent in any VR game today!

Players have basic triple jumps, can fly very high, and can basically fly in most places.

In addition, players can also climb mountains and wade in water, fly off walls, and the overall action is also very elegant and handsome.

When controlling the character and using light skills in the air, Liu Yu only felt as if he was also in the world of fairy tales, flying around....

And such smooth flight maneuvers.

Due to technical limitations, there is simply no way to achieve it in today's VR games!
