Game designer: I make games, not charity

"I thought I might never have the chance to play such an expensive game in my life.

But fortunately, when I was in junior high school, VR game experience stores began to appear.

We can spend relatively cheaply, but in fact, it is still expensive, to experience those VR games that I once had no chance to experience!

It would be nice if it weren't so expensive....

It is precisely because of these experiences that I chose the major of game designer when I was in college.

I wanted to make a good game that everyone who loves games could play

, but then I found out that it was really hard, really hard!

It's not that our game makers are too black-hearted.

But...... The cost of VR games is too high, even if we compress the cost, the price can only be limited.

After all, not every game company is a goose factory and can be sure that there are so many players.

Even if the fire can't be fired, it will definitely not be lost.

We small companies, once we make a big bet, if we lose, it may really endanger the entire company....

Moreover, even if we lower the price of the game and do not make money, it still cannot change one thing.

That is...

At one point, I even thought I was in the wrong line and that I should have gone for a game pod.

But now, as I mature, I know that even if I go into the game cabin industry.

Even if I make products with great care.

It can only reduce the price by a small amount at most.

Moreover, it still risks that the company will go bankrupt at any time.

Two

years ago, I even completely forgot my dream, and felt that the dream of wanting players who love games to play games may not be achieved in my life.

Until the advent of Platinum Games.

Baijin Chen released the first computer game in history "Legend"!

There is no need for expensive VR experience pods, only a computer and a pitiful few cards to play.

This is undoubtedly a huge leap forward in the gaming industry

, and this is also a method that I have never thought of from beginning to end!

Since the cost of VR games and VR game pods can't be reduced, then why not just abandon the entire platform?

Maybe someone else thought about it, but maybe they didn't do it for fear of failure or something.

And Mr. Chen of Platinum Games Company made it, and he fulfilled my dream in a way that I never thought of!

Not because I was boasting, but because I knew that he and I were the same kind of people

! with a heart for gamers and the gaming industry!

After Legends.

The first computer stand-alone game, Diablo, was also successfully launched by Platinum.

Single-player games, all of them are sold for thousands of hundreds of dollars on the market, but when it comes to Platinum Mr. Chen, it only takes so little money!

At that time, like you now, I thought that Mr. Chen was just making a shoddy game, and he just wanted to take advantage of the fame of the previous "Legend".

I'm a game design guy, and I know better than most of you how much it costs to make a game.

To

make a good game, no, even a normal game, the cost required is extremely huge!

But when I actually played this game, I realized how superficial I was

! "Diablo" is a very good

game! I dare say that, at least at present, there is no single-player game on the market that can compare with him

! But it is such an excellent game, but Platinum Chen only costs 198, less than two hundred yuan!

I remember that at that time, Platinum Games encountered many setbacks, and some malicious people on the Internet deliberately smeared it, and even the game was banned.

At that time, I was in a hurry, I was afraid that the entire Great Xia Kingdom, the game designer who loved the game the most, would not be able to stick to it.

I was afraid that Platinum, the company that could really change the gaming industry, would have problems.

Fortunately, in the end, the game was unblocked.

It just so happened that at that time, I had a friend who went to work for Platinum Game Company, so I tried my best to inquire about Platinum Company and Mr. Chen from him.

Mr. Chen, he is definitely not an ordinary person

! His love for games exceeds all of us imagination! Almost

every time, when he released a game, the employees would persuade him to raise the price, but he refused every time!

We have to think about the players, as long as there are players who like our games, that is our greatest support! The price of

the game, the cheaper the better! Let more people play the game, the number is up, then don't we make money?

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was launched at the same time as Goose Factory's "Fairy Simulator".

The former points 1 piece, the latter, 30.

However, Mr. Chen won again.

At that time, I was thinking, Mr. Chen, what kind of surprise can it bring us,

but I also know that I just want to think about it.

It's all a dollar point card price, what more bike?

But who knows, this time, President Chen directly launched a free game

! forever free, unlimited play!

... Yes, I was punched in the face, but I was beaten with pleasure.

I didn't even dare to think about it

, Platinum and Mr. Chen, actually made it! This is Mr. Chen, this is Platinum Game Company

! This is not a charity gamer! This is not a charity game company?

But at the same time, I am also worried, free... And

, I know from my friend, even the employees inside Platinum Games don't approve of Chen's decision.

Even, in the entire platinum company, only Mr. Chen insisted on this idea.

Maybe I'm exaggerating, but... This may be the case!

Free game...

To be honest, I don't know what Mr. Chen thinks, how to make money, how to guarantee that he will not lose money.

After all, game development, manufacturing, and even servers after the server are launched, all need money....

If it's really free, it's a bottomless pit.

But I hope that Mr. Chen can still win this time, just like every time before.

If there is any game company in the entire Great Xia Kingdom that should make money, I think that only platinum, only Mr. Chen!

As an aside, it also proves that all of my above words are true.

I've already discussed with my boss, and in two months, I'll officially quit my job and vote for Platinum.

Actually, I have long wanted to go to platinum, but I am a responsible person, and there is still a project in the company that I must finish.

To get back to business, this time "Dungeons and Warriors", if nothing else, in terms of quality, I believe it will be excellent

! In addition, although I don't have much money, but in order to support platinum, I directly bought a thousand sets of "Diablo" this time!

I also hope that everyone will retweet more, support Mr. Chen, support platinum, and also support, our world's first free game!"

This post was written by a game designer with more than ten years of experience.

This shimmer has participated in the design of many games, so it is still somewhat famous in the industry and player circles.

In addition, every sentence in his post is heartfelt, which naturally arouses the recognition of many fans and netizens.

Soon, this post rushed to the top five of the game section of the Zhihu forum.

Driven by this post, the ethos of online discussion began to change.

Demeaning and mocking Platinum is naturally a lot of people.

But there are also many reasonable netizens who have begun to realize that this free game is something beneficial to players.

In this atmosphere of increasing enthusiasm and more and more people's attention.

Chen Feng's bib for game promotion directly rushed to the top three of hot searches.

But surprisingly.

Zhang Jiafei also followed on the hot search, and directly ranked eighth!

...... In the café.

Zhang Jiafei's mobile phone suddenly rang.

He pulled out his phone and saw that it was a call from the studio agent.

, connected to the phone, heard the agent happily said: "Brother Fei, you are on the hot search!" Hearing

this, Zhang Jiafei couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't have any hot events recently, and his operation team didn't buy traffic.

The

agent then explained: "It's the promotional photos of the platinum company, this time the platinum company's neck is on the hot search, with the non-brother you are also on, the non-brother you can go to the neck to see, this wave of natural hot search, make a lot of money!

Wait, wait, I'll take a look when I go back later, and then interact with the fans, now there is something, so I will hang up first. The

agent who was high on his toes at the beginning is now in front of Zhang Jiafei, but he does not dare to put a shelf at all, and immediately admits: "Of course, no problem, brother Fei, you are busy first, and you can contact me at any time if you have something." Hanging

up the phone and putting the phone on the table, Zhang Jiafei raised his eyelids, looked at the young woman sitting opposite, and frowned.

This woman's name is Li Lu, and she is Zhang Jiafei's girlfriend when she was in Xiangdao three years ago.

Now, naturally, he is already an ex-girlfriend.

Li Lu is wearing a plain white skirt, with a beautiful figure, a pure face, a lovely appearance, and a slightly wrinkled brow, which is easy to make people feel pity.

But Zhang Jiafei knew that all this was just an illusion...

Three years ago, Zhang Jiafei was still in Xiangdao, a popular little fresh meat in the entertainment industry of Xiangdao.

At that time, it was also the best time for him and Li Lu to have a relationship.

He and Li Lu are college classmates, five years of long-distance love, and they have already begun to prepare for marriage.

Zhang Jiafei at that time really loved her.

But this Li Lu, for the sake of interests, fiercely pit Zhang Jiafei.

After that, he ran abroad and was not heard from at all.

But even so, Zhang Jiafei did not find trouble with Li Lu, but just gave up his career in the Xiangdao entertainment industry and returned to China.

And today, Li Lu, who had disappeared for three whole years, suddenly returned to Qingcheng, asked Zhang Jiafei where he worked, and directly ran to block him, saying that he had something to talk to him about.

Zhang Jiafei followed her to the café.

However, Zhang Jiafei was really carried away by love back then, so he would be so accommodating to the other party.

At this time, after having completely sobered up, he faced Li Lu in front of him.

Zhang Jiafei naturally couldn't have a good face.

He took a deep breath, looked at Li Lu on the other side, suddenly sneered, and said peacefully: "Actually, I have a question that I have always wanted to ask you, but three years ago, you walked too fast, and directly evaporated in the world, I originally thought that I would never see you in this life..."

Forget it, it's pointless to say so much, just in one sentence, the contract three years ago, when

you signed it, did you read it carefully?" Li Lu looked remorseful and sad, and immediately defended: "I didn't read it! I really haven't seen it, I didn't know it would be like that, I was also deceived by your brokerage company, I thought they valued you so much, and said it so nicely, saying that they wanted to promote you, I quickly signed it..."

Zhang Jiafei sneered: "What about after that, as soon as you signed the contract, you went abroad directly, I couldn't contact you for the next half a year, ask people who know you, all of them can't contact you, I thought you ... I didn't know that I died in that foreign land.

Li Lu's big bright eyes immediately welled up with tears: "I ran after I knew about that incident, I know I hurt you, I'm afraid you blame me... I..."

Zhang Jiafei interrupted: "So when you ran, you still took five million from the company by the way?

Finally, Li Lu got up directly, knelt in front of Zhang Jiafei, held his palm, and on that touching face, she squeezed out a bit of a deliberately flattering smile, hanging tears, and said: "Brother Fei, I was wrong before, I now know that I was wrong, you give me another chance, let's get back together, can you?

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Zhang Jiafei's originally somewhat gloomy face suddenly became clear, he already knew the answer, and also untied his heart, so there was nothing to say now.

He slowly broke the other party's hands, coldly spoke, and said word by word: "If an apology is useful, why do you want the police? Li Lu, if you apologized three years earlier, maybe I could really be stupid enough to forgive you, but now it's useless!" He

threw away the other party's hand and walked to the door of the café, leaving only a faint sentence: "Don't appear in front of me in the future." "
