Game designer: I make games, not charity

Gratis?

Is Mr. Chen laughing?

The employees were shocked.

They had imagined that Chen Feng had various answers.

Even if Chen Feng said that the price of the point card still remained one piece, they did not feel strange.

But this is a free release of 4 words, indeed they did not imagine it anyway!

Luo Zhonghao's stiff face squeezed out a smile: "President Chen, at this time, don't joke."

Chen Feng shook his head helplessly and said seriously: "I'm not kidding you, this game, after it is launched, will be released directly for free!" We don't charge a dime, players only need to have a computer with Internet access and be willing to play our games! Hearing

such a sentence come out of Chen Feng's mouth again, all the employees of the company were stunned.

They are already completely stupid!

In this world, there has never been a game that is free.

Free games, so how to make money?

When they heard Chen Feng just say this before, everyone was confused, and they only felt that President Chen was purely on a whim and said it casually.

Just to make a joke with them.

But now, looking at Chen Feng's serious and determined look, it seems... Chen is always serious!

Could it be that our next game from Platinum Games is really going to be released for free?

What else is it called making games?

Isn't that charity?

Doesn't Mr. Chen want to make money at all?

The air in the conference room froze somewhat.

Chen Feng immediately explained: "What I said free is not completely free, but players can play for free, but we can use props to charge!"

Zhang Mengyao thought for a while, and then asked: "Senior, if the game is made free, and then we charge with props as you said, can we really make money?" "

Zhang Mengyao has always been very supportive of Chen Feng.

But now there are also some comments.

The idea of being a free-to-play game is so shocking in this world!

Chen Feng smiled helplessly and shook his head.

He understood the concerns of Zhang Mengyao and Luo Zhonghao and the others.

After all, they are all people of this world and have never seen the charm of free-to-play games.

When they hear the word free games, they immediately feel that the game company has lost money.

But what they don't know is that free is the most expensive!

The previous Dungeons and Warriors was a completely free game.

However, after the game was launched, various holiday sets and various weapon amplitudes were completely addicted to players.

The players are completely intoxicated like Chen Feng, who engages in several ten-consecutive companies every day.

Some people don't even fill a little for a day, and they feel uncomfortable.

Of course, this is only a small part of the players, and there are also a large number of civilian players who may not top up a large amount of money.

However, products such as a dollar of resurrection coins and monthly membership cards are also difficult for them to refuse.

Don't look at a dollar less, but what if it's a million people, ten million people charge a piece ?!

Even if someone really didn't charge a dime.

But as long as these players enter the game, it will also be a huge asset!

The existence of civilian players can make krypton gold players have stronger krypton gold power.

Whether it is in appearance fashion, or attributes and combat effectiveness.

The existence of these civilian players can make Krypton Gold players charge more and faster!

All in all.

As long as the game is free, the number of players it can attract will increase significantly.

By that time, the amount of money you can earn will also multiply!

But these things, Chen Feng naturally had no way to explain to these people clearly for a while.

At this time, tell Luo Zhonghao and others that civilian players will let paying players charge more money.

They may feel that they have heard the Book of Heaven.

There is absolutely no way to understand.

Therefore, Chen Feng could only pick a few key points and hastily talk about things such as resurrection coins and fashion.

But Luo Zhonghao, Zhang Mengyao and others were still confused.

In the end, Chen Feng could only wave his hand and say: "I have already decided on the matter of the payment model, so I will not discuss it for the time being... Trust me, there will be absolutely no problems!

Let's talk about the next production plan of this game! Although

everyone still had some doubts, Chen Feng's prestige in the company was extremely high.

When there have been countless disputes with everyone, Chen Feng has tried his best to exclude the crowd and insist on his ideas, and the final results are very good.

Therefore, the employees' trust in Chen Feng is also very strong.

Now that President Chen had said so, they could only nod and agree.

The next meeting began to discuss the game architecture, and some work arrangements.

Although the system gave Chen Feng all the game data, the original dungeon and warrior was not what Chen Feng really wanted.

He wants to make his dungeons and warriors better!

The arena is more balanced, version iterations don't need to be so fast, and the economic system can be more stable.

Let the life of the whole game be extended even more....

And these are all things that he and these employees of the company need to work together to do!

......

While Platinum Games was discussing designing and building its next game.

Goose Factory is also engaged in heated discussions about the next game, which is Goose Factory's first computer game.

Xu Chen, who was only given a heavy responsibility by President Ma, sat in the first seat with a serious face.

Looking at the employees in front of me who have been following me, as well as employees who have just been transferred from other departments and have some understanding and interest in computer games.

He said lightly:

"After two days of high-level discussions, we already have the design plan for this computer game, and we have decided to adapt "Legend of Warriors" into a computer version!"

As soon as Xu Chen's words came out, the faces of the surrounding employees all showed shock!

This was followed by the excitement!

You know, "Legend of Warriors" can be said to be one of the most successful online games of Goose Factory in recent years!

Not only does it occupy the record of the world's top point card sales, but it has also won the Pangu Game Award with this game!

It is a double harvest in sales and word of mouth.

Now it's thorough, and it's one of the best games in Goose Factory.

Even they can be recorded in the annals of company history.

If you want to make a brand new computer game again, maybe everyone really has no confidence.

After all, Platinum Games has been working in the computer game market for some time.

Both experience and market judgment are better than them.

But if they adapt "The Legend of Warriors", then they will have much more confidence!

After all, the business is skilled, but in a different way.

I used to change someone else's, but now I change my own, and I don't have to worry about plagiarism at all....

Looking at the enthusiastic appearance of all the employees, Xu Chen was also quite satisfied in his heart: "Moreover, there is another good news to tell you that before adapting "Legend of Warriors" into a computer game, our own film and television department will also adapt this game into a TV series!"

That is, before the game is released.

We can take advantage of the previous popularity of "Legend of Warriors" and the popularity of TV series to stir up the popularity of our "Legend of Warriors PC Version"!

It can be said that before this game is done, we won half of it! Speaking

of this, Xu Chen's face was full of smugness.

Last time, their Goose Factory's "Fairy Simulator" would lose to platinum's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", but because the VR platform was not as good as the computer platform.

And this time, they simply threw away the VR platform and competed with Platinum on the computer platform!

And there is also the strong support behind Mr. Ma and the entire company.

Mr. Ma also promised him that as long as the game was done well enough, the publicity did not need him to worry about at all, and the company directly covered everything.

And it's the top publicity resource.

Pull straight up!

Before, it was just him who lost to the other side in one department.

But now, the entire goose factory is coming to his aid.

Chen Feng's little platinum company can compare with their goose factory?

Thinking of this, Xu Chen's heart was full of excitement.

Last time, I was slapped in the face by Platinum Games.

He thought all the time in his heart to take revenge.

"Next, the main thing is to discuss the production schedule of the follow-up game and the payment model of the game, and after collecting everyone's opinions, I can report it directly."

Xu Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart, said lightly, and looked at everyone in the audience.

The employees immediately began to discuss enthusiastically.

Soon, they had some games on their production schedules.

Because it is a version port.

They don't really need much reinvention either.

It is expected that it will only take four months to make the game in its entirety.

Plus some test situations, half a year is more than enough.

After discussing the game production schedule, the next step is to discuss the payment model of the game.

Employees are clearly more proactive and proactive in discussing this issue.

An employee took the lead in getting up and spoke, saying: "Supervisor Xu, since our goose factory is going to make computer games this time, then we should learn from the platinum company, and lower the point card fee. Collect 3 pieces for an hour?

As soon as the employee's words were finished, several employees next to him stood up and reprimanded.

"Our goose factory's game is comparable to his platinum company? Their own game is cheap, naturally priced low, our game is good, we have to set a suitable price!

"Yes! And "The Legend of the Warriors" won the Pangu Award, our price is too low, it will definitely be laughed at by people in the industry!

"But we can't compare the price of VR games, can we?"

"That's right, it must still fall, now it depends on how much we want to fall!"

"I see what we mean, down to 20 pieces!"

"That's too high, do you think someone will play like that?" The people who play computer games are people who have no money! "

......

Soon, the employees began to argue passionately about the matter.

Xu Chen sat on the stage and after listening quietly for a long time, he patted the table.

"Okay, what you said, I heard it all, it all makes sense, after all, we are making a computer game for the first time, where we should learn from others, we still have to learn."

Our point card fee is definitely going to be reduced, let's drop it to 10 yuan an hour!

Of course, this must be a little too low, so I have another idea here.

In fact, I have been paying attention to Bai Jin's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", their model is very successful, we can also learn their paid model.

Point card charge + expansion pack charge!

At this time, an employee in the audience whispered: "Supervisor Xu, the expansion pack of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is not charged, it seems that all players complete the task together..." Xu

Chen frowned: "We just learn his essence, he doesn't charge, that's because their expansion pack is not good enough!"

Our "Legend of Warriors" is award-winning, award-winning expansion packs, can't it still be charged?

Well, just like that, the point card charging model of 10 yuan an hour, plus the subsequent expansion pack charges ranging from tens to hundreds.

After speaking, Xu Chen glanced at the employees below again, pouted and smiled: "Some of you, don't think that the price like ours is too high."

Do you really think that Platinum can succeed because of the low price of point cards?

Let's tell you so, Bai Jin must have given up a lot of interests in order to fight with us, don't look at this "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" with good results, but I guess he may not have made any money at all!

Don't you need money for game development?

Doesn't it cost anything?

Please that garbage network author called Chenxi, write the plot for them without money?

A small game company, if they continue to lose money and do it like this, can they make money? Can you survive?

Therefore, they are definitely just using a low-price model to accumulate user groups, and then increase the price at one time to make a profit.

If not, they still insist on such a low price, continue to do it, and sooner or later they will go out of business!

We certainly can't follow in their footsteps! "
