Game designer: I make games, not charity

Recently, the new game on the pig factory side has not been announced.

Although the development of the original plan and project continues, the entire company has come to a slight standstill.

And all this comes down to the fact that some time ago, the goose factory for the game "Legend of Warriors", carried out a lot of publicity! The goose factory

that really began to play with its wrists is simply not something that these small companies can compete with.

So after that, the CEOs of most small and medium-sized game companies, including Mr. Ding, decided to avoid the edge for the time being.

This has almost become the consensus in the industry.

However, the platinum company, which has only been emerging for more than two years, once again broke everyone's cognition at this

time! Not only did they not avoid the edge, but they also released the official game the day before the closed beta of the new tour of the goose factory

! This is undoubtedly, that is, the last time "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" against "Xian Xia Simulator", and then another

declaration of war! Free games, a declaration of war on Goose Factory computer paid games!

As the former second oldest in the game industry, Mr. Ding of Pig Factory, has naturally been paying attention to the two games that Platinum and Goose Factory are about to launch.

Platinum's game was released yesterday.

The game of Goose Factory is to be released for closed beta this afternoon.

In order to be able to feel the charm and similarities and differences of the two games for the first time, without any preconceived ideas.

And make the most intuitive comparison to more determine the future route of your company.

So, Mr. Ding was released after "Dungeons and Warriors" yesterday.

Everyone in the company has been banned from playing Dungeons & Warriors and searching the Internet for information about the game.

Today, after the goose factory's new game "Legend of Warriors" began to be closed beta.

Mr. Ding summoned almost all the key employees of the company.

In the conference room, Mr. Ding pointed to the two games "Legend of Warriors" and "Dungeons and Warriors" on the big screen, and said: "

These are the latest two games of Goose Factory and Platinum, under such a crazy publicity effect of Goose Factory, Platinum still touches the mold, I think it is somewhat dependent."

So I made the decision to split twenty employees into two groups, one for Platinum's Dungeons & Warriors and one for Legends of Warriors.

Half a day later, at the end of the night at 6 p.m., you came to me to submit your reviews.

Of course, if you feel that you need longer, you can also postpone your work until 9 o'clock at night

! Overtime pay as usual!" As

Mr. Ding's words fell, the eyes of the employees who were still a little listless immediately lit up!

These employees engaged in the Internet industry can rarely enjoy such happy treatment!

"No problem

!" "Guaranteed to complete the task

!" "Thank you Mr. Ding!" The

employees were very excited, and almost no one raised any opinions.

This kind of good thing will not be refused as long as it is an individual.

After all, even if they stay at the company without playing games, they probably won't leave work until after 9 o'clock.

Most of the Internet industry is so involuted, and the game industry in this world is the king of volumes, referred to as the king of volumes.

Especially after the birth of Platinum Game Company and the great foundation and reputation in just two years.

For the

reaction of the employees, Mr. Ding was naturally not surprised at all.

Looking at the excited crowd, he smiled mysteriously: "In addition, in order to see the payment situation of the two games, I will give you one person a two-hundred-yuan game recharge fee."

You are free to use this money, but be aware that it can only be used in-game.

Moreover, afterwards, explain to me the reason for recharging each amount of money and what I thought at the time.

As soon as these words came out, the employees in the conference room widened their eyes, and their faces were full of surprise

! Where is this still working?

It is simply that Mr. Ding's conscience is discovering that he is issuing welfare! Today's

Mr. Ding, simply generously makes them feel that they don't know each other!

He thinks this money must be spent.

Although I really don't agree with the idea of Platinum Games to make free games.

But the president of Baijin is Chen Feng after all, and

for this guy who can always create miracles, President Ding naturally will not underestimate him.

So the only purpose of giving employees this amount of money is to see what this free game of platinum means!

He gave money to employees, and employees naturally spend more than ordinary players.

If Platinum's game does make money, then free-to-play is actually an option.

But if even the employees are in Dungeons & Warriors, they can't spend money.

In this

way, this "Dungeon and Warriors" must also make Baijin Chen lose his money!

But at this moment, an employee of the "Legend of Warriors" group next to him suddenly said: "Mr. Ding, "Legend of Warriors" has to buy an activation code to play, now that time has passed, we can't play it."

Mr. Ding pouted and smiled: "I have already prepared the activation code here, and you can get it from the secretary before you leave." Mr

. Ding had this idea for a long time, how could he not prepare the activation code in advance?

Now it is not that you can't play without an activation code!

These activation codes issued by Goose Factory are not completely bound to the buyer.

Instead, it can change hands.

This is explained in the terms of attention when the activation code is sold.

In other words, these activation codes can be purchased by scalpers in bulk.

Then, at the right

time, the price is released! And this right time is naturally the time when the game closed beta begins!

In order to make the activation code seem rare, Goose Factory must explain that these activation codes are available in limited quantities.

In this way, the psychology of players to buy will be stimulated to a greater extent.

But if they really make too much limit in number, it will definitely be less closed beta players and make a lot of money.

Especially after the game closed beta, after the start, if the quality of the game is really excellent, there will definitely be many players who want to play!

Then there is no way for these players.

Goose Factory will not make money from these players.

Such a lose-lose thing is naturally not what Goose Factory wants to see.

That's why the goose factory added such a rule to the precautions!

And Mr. Ding also paid attention to it before this meeting.

Now that an hour or two has passed since the closed beta server start-up time, a large number of scalpers selling the beta activation code have appeared on the Internet.

And most of them are still sold at a price of 120~150, which is cheaper than the original price.

Where did these scalpers come from? It must have been made by the goose factory operation department.

It is impossible that there are really players who buy the internal beta activation code, play for less than an hour or two, and are unwilling to play, and sell them?

The operation of the goose factory, thinking about it is terrifying, terrifying!

Next, Mr. Ding did not waste time.

Soon, a sufficient number of employees were assigned to each of the two games.

Assigned to "Legend of the Warriors", the employees of that group were all smiling and happy.

After all, it is a game that Goose Factory spends so much money to advertise, and even the activation code costs money to buy.

They were able to play for free, and the company gave a 200 yuan top-up credit.

The

employees of the Dungeons & Warriors team were a little disappointed, and in comparison, they naturally thought that Legends of Warriors was more fun than Dungeons & Warriors.

After all, one is charged, and one is free.

And Platinum Games is relatively fast in making games.

But now how long has it been since the release of their last game?

But

this is the boss's task, and even if they don't want to, they have no choice but to carry it out.

After a few final words of caution, the employees left the meeting room, went to different workspaces, and began to download the game and play.

Seeing that the employees began to play games enthusiastically, Mr. Ding also smiled and returned to his office, looking forward to the results later.

......

An hour later.

Office.

Mr. Ding was drinking tea and reading some comments on the Internet.

It's all about Platinum and Goose Factory, these two games.

In order to be able to influence judgment, even he himself did not pay attention to the information of these two games in advance.

I didn't start watching until today.

Now he first looks at the comments and information on the Internet, and then combines the most real feedback from employees.

First of all, Goose Factory's "Legend of the Warriors".

Mr. Ding is naturally more interested in this game.

So searched for the name at the beginning.

But looking at the articles and comments on the web page, Mr. Ding couldn't help but frown.

The Goose Factory's "Legend of the Warriors" closed beta has only been in the first few hours.

How come there are so many people scolding on the Internet,

and the bad review rate seems to be very high.

He flipped back several pages, but most of them were a series of scolding.

He felt strange for a while, it was Goose Factory's "Legend of Warriors"!

How could a game that had won the Pangu Game Award before be sprayed like this by players just a few hours after it was launched?

And could the goose factory be so stupid that he just put the VR version on it?

After all, with the current size of Platinum, it can indeed afford to invite a water army!

These comments on the Internet are still not so credible.

Ding always felt that his idea made sense.

He temporarily closed the search page for Legend of Warriors, decided to see the results of the experiments given by his employees later, and then analyzed the quality of the game.

Then there's Dungeons & Warriors.

Mr. Ding typed the name of the game and clicked search.

As soon as the webpage came out, he immediately saw a lot of praise and various positive reviews.

[Platinum Company strives to create the free-to-play game "Dungeons and Warriors", which will be a iQue!] [Platinum Company has another hit, this "Dungeons and Warriors", I am afraid it will easily surpass "Legend" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy

"!] [This article is three hours late, it is really because "Dungeons and Warriors" is so fun!] [This

year's biggest hit, the dark horse of the game industry, the

theme that has never appeared before, cross-century computer games! Dungeons and Warriors

"] [The editor is addicted to "Dungeons and Warriors", can't think of a title, just one sentence: this game is awesome! It's fun!]

[Such a game, Platinum Company can take it for free, such a conscientious company, if it goes bankrupt, it will be the common responsibility of all our players in Daxia!]

[From today on, I will be an iron fan, brain dead fan, and die-hard fan of Platinum Game Company! Don't want to see any words in my article scolding

Platinum Games!] [We need such a good and sophisticated game as Dungeons & Warriors, but we don't need Platinum to forcibly engage in a free company for charity

!] [Although I'm just a stinky writer, I'm putting the words here today, I will definitely not let Platinum Games go out of business!]

Mr. Ding: "???" Mr. Ding: "????" Mr

. Ding:

Is it

so exaggerated??????

Mr. Ding's whole person was stupid.

Is this game really so awesome

? It's all cross-century? Why? Because it's free? Aren't

these all platinum-bought trolls?

As

a good businessman, he naturally knows the unspoken rules of these industries.

And as just said, with the current volume of platinum, it can indeed afford to buy a water army.

So he wisely skipped the articles.

Go straight to the bib and see what real players are saying online.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Mr. Ding said lightly: "Come in!" Soon

, nine employees came in outside the house, which were the employees of the previous "Legend of Warriors" group.

But there was one less person.

Because of the previous arrangement of Ding, it was a group of 10 people per game.

One by one, they frowned and their eyes were tired.

Mr. Ding frowned: "Didn't you say that you would come back in an afternoon?

He looked at the watch on his wrist: "It's only been half an hour! Could it be that the money for you has already been spent?"

This honest man helplessly spoke: "Mr. Ding, in addition to the money to buy the activation code, other budgets, we are useless, the goose factory's "Legend of the Warrior" is too rubbish, we can't play it."

That perspective, it's so uncomfortable, Xiaohuang vomited twice when he played this game, and he is still in the toilet. "

No wonder there's one missing....

Mr. Ding couldn't help nodding, but then, when he came back to his senses, he immediately glared: "Don't talk nonsense, the game made by the goose factory must be too hardcore, you guys stick to it for a while and try to get used to it."

Xiaohuang should be his own physical problem, he won't play, you go back and continue. The

nine people suddenly wailed, but Ding always said so, and they had to bite the bullet and go back.

The game is not fun, it's a big deal, just wait until the end of work.

So when it was time to leave work at six o'clock, the nine people came back and told Mr. Ding about the problem of "The Legend of the Warriors".

The main thing is that the viewing angle is uncomfortable.

The feeling of that game was so anti-human.

However, after sticking to it, in fact, I can still adapt to it a little, that is, the experience of playing is still not very good.

There were no other problems, and when they got used to the perspective, they felt quite fun.

There is that VR version feeling.

Or more accurately... It should be exactly the same as the VR version,

except that the experience of the game is so much worse!

There is no way for a computer to play VR games

, but this is a closed beta after all, and when the goose factory solves the shaking and adds some content, the game should be very good.

Mr. Ding listened to the summary of the employees and couldn't help nodding secretly: "The goose factory is worthy of being a goose factory, the legend of the warrior, it is worthy of the legend of the warrior, and it is indeed a game to win awards."

However, the goose factory was still a little anxious this time, obviously just completed the transplant, did not make too many changes, and took it directly.

But by the time the test is complete, the game should sell very well... At least it should be able to easily surpass the legend, right?" "

Employees, you look at me, I look at you, but I don't agree with it in my heart."

Today, most of the farm employees have played other Platinum computer games.

"Legend" aside, at least "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" feels slightly better than "Legend of Warriors" overall.

I have to admit that VR games have filters!

The incomparably real and substitutionary experience in the VR game capsule will greatly improve players' evaluation of the game.

But once you get all these things to the computer, there is a layer of screen.

The difference between the good and the bad can be felt at once.

At least for now, after putting aside the filter of VR games, the computer version of "Legend of Warriors" is indeed not as good and rich as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"!

After Mr. Ding listened, his expression couldn't help but feel a little solemn.

In this way, if the quality of the game is not greatly improved after several tests until the official launch.

Goose Factory, the first computer game, may really encounter Waterloo?

"Now look at the platinum game company, what happened to this "Dungeons and Warriors"!" Speaking of this, Mr. Ding was suddenly stunned, he looked up at the secretary, and couldn't help asking: "What about the group of people in the "Dungeons and Warriors" group, why is there no news at all until now?"

A little bad premonition suddenly surged in Mr. Ding's heart.

He frowned and immediately instructed his secretary to go to the place where another group of employees played games.

Call that group to the office to report!
