I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man

Gou Chehua was thinking about resigning from the beginning.

This company is good, but the problem is that it is too conscientious...

As a planner, my conscience is so stressful. When I think of any optimization items that can make money, and then look at Mr. Ke’s clear eyes, I feel like I am committing a crime...

If you stay in this company for half a year, you will have accumulated enough merits for the next life...

Fortunately, after Ke Jin explained a few words, Gou Chehua gave up the idea of ​​resigning.

The monthly card concept proposed by Mr. Ke is not that after you open a membership, you can draw unlimited cards for free that month.

Instead, when players activate a monthly card, they can receive a certain proportion of special game tokens by checking in every day.

This kind of token can be converted into a resource for drawing cards and used.

It not only meets the daily living needs, but also allows players who don’t have so much spare money to draw cards to experience the excitement of drawing cards.

genius!

"Has no other manufacturer launched this kind of activity before?" Ke Jin asked curiously.

Gou Chehua shook his head: "The average price of 50 yuan per draw raises the value of the draw card too high. If we launch a monthly card like what you said, Mr. Ke, then a very serious problem will arise. It has greatly reduced players’ willingness to spend money. Almost 80% to 90% of players will probably open a monthly card and wait to slowly accumulate resources. How could those vampire manufacturers do such an uneconomical thing?”

There was a bit of disdain in his words, and Gou Chehua was obviously dissatisfied with the current pricing of major manufacturers.

But he is just a small planner and unable to change this phenomenon. When it is time to set prices like this, he still has to pinch his nose and imitate other manufacturers' pricing.

After some discussion.

Kejin finally settled on the price.

The base price of the monthly card remains unchanged at 30 yuan.

If you sign in and complete attendance for a month, you can get 20 draws plus physical strength.

In terms of recharge, the double first recharge was completely cancelled, and then under Gou Chehua's strong suggestion, it was changed to 10 yuan for one draw and 100 yuan for 10 consecutive draws.

This price, let alone Blue Star, is a dimensionality reduction blow even on Earth, which can greatly arouse players' desire to consume.

In terms of guarantee.

At present, most of the guarantee mechanisms on Blue Star are at a level of about 3 thousandths.

Probably, 1000 draws can get three golds.

In addition, a small guarantee of 100 draws and a large guarantee of 200 draws are currently more common methods. Some extremely large manufacturers have a small guarantee of 200 and a large guarantee of 400, or there are only a few that have no guarantee at all, and they are not considered by Kejin. within.

But even with the 100/200 guarantee mechanism, Kejin felt that the income was outrageous after carefully calculating it.

If you want to get a limited character stably, you must prepare at least 10,000 yuan for drawing cards...

How dare these factory workers dare...

But think about it carefully.

Do Blue Star players have a choice?

Apparently not.

If I had lived in such an environment since I was a child, I would probably have become numb to it.

I feel scared just thinking about it... Fortunately, the game environment on earth is much more tolerant.

Although the system has temporarily relaxed restrictions on this hidden mission, for Ke Jin, there is still a bottom line in being a human being.

You have to make money while standing without ruining the game experience of Porridge!

Kejin made a slight upward adjustment.

The inherent three-thousandth single-draw guarantee on Blue Star has been raised to three percent.

Then, before 30 draws, there is a 3% probability of withdrawing money every time a card is drawn.

After 30 draws, every time no money is withdrawn, the probability of a single draw increases by 3% and is accumulated.

Until the withdrawal is 100%.

After careful calculation, the money will definitely be withdrawn on the 63rd draw.

As for the crooked guarantee, Ke Jin directly chose to cancel it, and the maximum number of limited characters each time was 63.

The existence of this thing has no meaning. It is purely to disgust players and cut off more of their leeks.

And it makes the players who are not crooked feel like "I am making money", and will have a more favorable impression of the game.

Players' favorable impression of a game does not come from excellent game production, interesting gameplay, or profound game plot, but only because the card drawing is correct.

Also, calm down and think about it.

Most of the time in this world, money is paid and delivered. I paid the money, you gave me satisfactory items, and both parties completed the transaction.

But under the crazy guarantee mechanism that many manufacturers like to use, it becomes-I will pay a certain amount of money first, but it is still up to you whether you will give me what I want. If you don’t give it, I have nothing to say. It can be said that if you give it, I will even become happy because I got 'what I should have got'.

This is not a kind of sadness.

It can be said that the emergence of the crooked guarantee mechanism has brought out the Stockholm syndrome in players.

If the player has never seen the sun, a candle in the darkness will be believed to be light.

When I saw that Kejin’s series of pricing plans were finalized.

To be honest, Gou Chehua was a little scared.

Mr. Ke, if we play like this...will our colleagues promote our company later...

If the new order wants to challenge the old order, conflict is inevitable.

Fortunately, Blue Star's legal order is more complete, so there is no need to worry about any vulgar incidents of offline real-person PK.

Everyone takes the lead, spitting on each other on the Internet, and just asking trolls to start a verbal war.

After all aspects were almost perfected, Ke Jin safely handed over to Gou Chehua, who was fully responsible for the research and development of "Arknights".

And a deadline was given for the launch, which must be completed within two months after the project is established.

Even if it’s on the shelves on the last day.

Anyway, the system’s judgment standard only refers to games released within two months, but subsequent sales will not be affected.

Hearing this, Gou Chehua thought for a moment.

Must it be put on the shelves within two months?

It feels like the progress will be a little rushed.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized and asked: "Mr. Ke, do you mean that our "Arknights" is preparing to participate in the ice and snow game festival in two months' time?"

Ke Jin was stunned.

Attending the Ice and Snow Game Festival?

What is the Ice and Snow Game Festival... I preach.

I'm just stuck in the dead line of the system.

"Yes." Ke Jin nodded.

It is better to do less than to do more. If you participate, just participate.

————

"Arknights" is in intensive development.

Ke Jin has not been idle recently. When he is free, he will help the production team develop some progress.

As well as fine-tuning some concepts that were designed that were not satisfactory.

Looking next door, Jinhai Entertainment and several other B-level companies that have temporarily formed alliances are also quietly working hard to launch new products.

The design concept of the game is almost impossible to hide.

Companies always have personnel flows of one kind or another, and each company can only ensure that the game data it designs will not be leaked.

But you can’t guard against other people’s general remarks.

This is an open secret in the industry.

To put it bluntly, Yu Xiao has mastered the types of games currently being developed by Ready Player One.

"Tower defense?" Yu Xiao touched his chin thoughtfully.

According to the information he heard from his employees.

The new game launched by Ready Player One this time is a brand new type that has never been seen on Blue Star before.

He couldn't get the specific core data and detailed gameplay.

But after listening to my own game analyst’s summary.

He could probably guess what type it was.

It's nothing more than one person charging forward, and the other person guarding tightly.

Still doing this to death.

Wouldn't it be over if you just said positional warfare?

Ke Jin, you brat knows how to create a character.

The rest of us are trying our best to create a character for the company. You even have to create a game-type character, right?

The craziest episode ever!

"Then our game can also be copied...and improved in this direction." Yu Xiao called his game director, pulled out a piece of paper, and began to write and draw on it.

"Director Lin, my understanding of tower defense is this. First, let's make our character, for example, this person be the protagonist." As he spoke, Yu Xiao drew an abstract stick figure on the left side of the paper.

"Let the protagonist guard here, give him a weapon, or any other mess. Anyway, his mission is to defend the front line behind him."

"Then, the enemy troops rushed over with weapons." As he spoke, Yu Xiao scrawled a few more words on the right side of the paper.

Director Lin's eyes widened and he listened attentively.

"Then, our protagonist attacks first. Biu sends out a laser."

"After the attack, the enemy may be able to defend himself, or he may not be able to defend himself. These are not important. In short, it is the enemy's turn next."

Director Lin: "..."

"Mr. Yu...you seem to be talking about...turn-based system?"

"Is this a turn-based system?" Yu Xiao was stunned, then picked up his abstract painting and looked at it carefully: "There is defense on the left, offense on the right... and there is a dead line behind... Isn't this tower defense? ? I have sent people to find out clearly, this is what the number one player does."

"But... what you said still adheres to the core attack method of one round for each person." Director Lin wiped his sweat.

"You mean to have both sides attack at the same time?" Yu Xiao frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head: "No, this is too messy. Do you think this is an action game?"

"Furthermore, if the number of enemies increases, wouldn't it be chaotic in the fight? Who should our character attack first? And which of our characters should the enemy on the opposite side attack first? No matter how you look at this, only the turn system can satisfy For the above requirements, we all know who to fight each round and what skills to use.”

"Why did the designer call it tower defense instead of turn-based?" Director Lin was puzzled.

"No, you guys are a bit secretive today." Yu Xiao looked at Director Lin displeased: "Then tell me, what is tower defense?"

"This..." Director Lin scratched his head.

hiss……

It's so itchy, I'm going to grow a brain.

Although it always feels like what Mr. Yu is talking about is a turn-based system, I really can’t think of how the form of tower defense should be presented for a while.

"In Mr. Yu's opinion, this is tower defense!" In desperation, Director Lin could only reply.

In fact, Yu Xiao also knew that his understanding might not be right.

But then again.

Instead of criticizing yourself, belittle others.

That kid Ke Jin always wants to innovate.

Where are there so many types that can be made for him? If it could really be done, wouldn’t our Blue Star designers have made it long ago?

It's nothing more than being stuck here, and now everyone is waiting for him to come out with something new.

So it's not impossible for him to sew it up a little and come up with a new name.

"But these are not important. Anyway, our new game this time is to start a price war with him and drag him down! Let him taste the bitter pill of easily disrupting the situation."

"As long as the type is similar in appearance, the highlight is the pricing." Yu Xiao habitually crossed his fingers and said with a squinted smile: "Didn't he do one-yuan purchases before? In order to prevent him from playing tricks this time We will also lower the one-yuan purchase routine to the bottom without giving him any chance to breathe!"

"We will also order one yuan for the purchase! Then we will cooperate with the vigorous publicity!"

"Try to knock down his company in one fell swoop!"

Director Lin thought for a while and asked, "Wouldn't our ranking in this ice and snow festival be very low?"

Yu Xiao waved his hand disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter, what wins the first place every year and attracts the attention of all players is the new work of the top SSS-level company. We are classified into B~A level competition areas, and our own traffic is not large."

It doesn’t matter whether there is traffic support from the Ice and Snow Festival.

It is very important that there is no company like Number One Player.

…

It’s not just Jinhai Entertainment.

The dozen or so companies that participated in the last symposium seemed to really work together and make up their mind this time.

We must give the number one player, this industry disruptor, some color.

Every new game launched by a company is basically priced at the lowest price.

New games will naturally lose money, but that's not okay.

The important thing is that under their collective price reduction, the top players in the same division cannot make money. This is enough.

Otherwise, if you let it continue to develop, the money you will lose will be much higher than if you buy a new game now.

It's in everyone's mind.

Time flies, and two months fly by in the blink of an eye.

The cold snow is coming, and everyone is gradually putting on winter clothes.

From the time that Ready Player One started the project to the final completion of internal testing, there were still three days left before the two-month deadline given by Jin.

In the past three days, Ke Jin emptied the company's treasury in one breath and invested it all in Xuanfa.

In addition to one-minute chats from anchors on major live broadcast platforms.

The Perak Perak Game Center also bought the promotion.

It's a pity that I don't have any extra rice in my pocket. Weibo Douyin is a place with explosive traffic, but the price charged is also sky-high.

Kejin is not yet in a position to do promotion.

But compared with the meticulous publicity of the previous games, the scale this time is not small.

Many new and old players, after hearing this wave of announcements, joked, "Gravograph is so promising, but it actually understands announcements," while waiting at the official website of Ready Player One.

The messages underneath all read "Open the door".

At the same time, the Ice and Snow Game Festival is also long overdue.

This festival is not a particularly formal official game festival. It is not a game selection and award ceremony.

It’s just that the major game manufacturers looked at the 618 next door and made a lot of money during Double Eleven, so they followed suit and launched such an ‘Ice and Snow Festival’

Lasts for one month.

By then, various game companies will launch new games one after another.

And all domestic companies are divided according to levels and compete for ranking within their own level divisions.

The benefits of ranking high are also obvious.

Because this ranking is jointly released by the three domestic game giant platforms and the NAA Forum, the turnover dynamics are updated every day.

Many players will gather here to find new games on the list for a change of taste.

Therefore, the attention will be full.

Under the spotlight.

The Ice and Snow Festival has finally arrived.

In the early hours of that night, domestic companies and studios of all sizes released their new New Year's Eve works almost at the same time.

And "Arknights" has also landed on the official platform website of Ready Player One at this moment.
