Number One Game Designer

It was already night when Yu Jiashu came to his senses, and his roommates had been back for a long time, so he took off the earphones and realized that his ears hurt after wearing them all day.

"How about it, did the Bomber call his name?"

Bomberman is his nickname for Mr. Wang, because of his violent temper.

The roommate rolled his eyes: "Yes, but you have nothing to do. The bomber said that if you fail a subject, he will not give you a chance to make up the exam."

"It's okay for him to let me take the exam now." Yu Jiashu wasn't worried at all, and the line representative didn't have much problem with him.

"Is this fun?" The roommate pointed to the screen.

"I can't wake you up even when I come back at noon, and you are still like this when I come back at night. Hey, I brought you dinner, fried rice noodles."

"Thank you, Dad!" Yu Jiashu thanked without morality, stuffed two mouthfuls of rice noodles, and Amway said:

"It's very fun, and it's not expensive now. The game is only 60 yuan. Would you like to try it?"

The roommates waved their hands again and again:

"Let's forget it. I couldn't play this kind of shooting game in the first place. If I still can't, I must have been beaten badly."

Speaking of this, I just talked about Yu Jiashu's depressed point before:

"Hey, you said that's actually bad. This game really doesn't test marksmanship very much. Watch me show you a game of eating chicken without a gun after dinner! This is what I practiced all day."

"Eat chicken?"

Raising his chopsticks and pointing in the direction of his computer, Yu Jiashu explained:

"If you win at the end of this game, it means good luck. I don't know what it means to eat chicken tonight, but everyone uses chicken to refer to winning. For example, I ate chicken twice today."

The roommate looked at Yu Jiashu with pity: Wake up, you can only eat vegetarian rice noodles now.

And Yu Jiashu's propaganda is indeed correct. After a large number of players poured in and got started, the players gradually discovered that the marksmanship of this game, or the shooting element, is only part of it.

Good marksmanship can eat chicken, ambushes can eat chicken, even driving and sailing can eat chicken, good luck can also eat chicken!

The game just opened at ten o'clock in the morning, and in the evening, an anchor relied on his understanding of the game two days in advance to complete a game of eating chicken without using guns and killing people, which made players understand that this game is really not very good. Call for marksmanship.

For this Fang Xi is naturally happy to see the results. Facts have proved that the higher the threshold of a game, the lower its popularity. Every popular game has a premise, that is, they take care of low-end players more enjoyment.

For example, a certain alliance has perfect data and guidance, and canceled the setting of denying. In eating chicken, he tried his best to downplay marksmanship, and the hard-core conditions of reaction speed have an impact on the outcome. Fang Xi has learned these things. , to put it bluntly, what kind of online game is the most popular online game?

The entry threshold for players is low. When the influx of players is much faster than the rate of player loss, this is a popular online game, and this is the goal of Hongyi online games at this stage.

Fang Xi naturally welcomes these weird chicken eating, and asked Liu Hai to contact Douyu to set up a special chicken eating area, such as eating chicken only with grenades, eating chicken only with a car, eating chicken for the shortest time, and eating chicken for the longest time Chicken and so on, all in all, players are welcome to challenge the limits, and those who succeed will have bonuses. The new 81 Chinese website is updated the fastest. Computer side:

Fang Xi reckoned that if he was going to record a video, the prize for the fastest hit the street should go to himself, so it's better not to be ashamed.

However, considering that Hongyi's online games are gradually growing, the entertainment building next to Fang Xi's office building is being rebuilt, and a budget for Internet cafes has been added.

One hundred high-end computers allow employees who want to play in their spare time to be happy to their heart's content. After all, work is work and games are games, so it is better to distinguish them clearly.

The last time when Lin Rongchang came to Hongyi to talk about cooperation, he even sighed enviously. If possible, he would like to work under Fang Xi, but then Fang Xi shattered Young Master Lin's dream with a poisonous snake:

"you?"

"I have very high requirements for recruiting people now. I have at least three years of work experience. At the same time, I also need to have project experience. The admission is based on merit. Let me tell you, if you submit your resume, you will be rejected at the first pass. Our people Will not contact you at all."

Young Master Lin's eyes almost poked Fang Xi into a sieve.

Or back to "Left 4 Dead: Battle Royale".

Fang Xi didn’t make any arrangements on the first day, but Liu Hai also understands it very well now, and simultaneously opened the promotion of “Left 4 Dead” on the Honghu game platform. Now, if you buy Left 4 Left alone, you can get a 30% discount, and it’s even better if you buy it together with the Battle Royale DLC package. You can enjoy 40% off, and the DLC purchased separately is naturally not discounted. This also triggered a wave of buying frenzy. Fang Xi reckoned that Road to Survival hoped to hit the mythical number of domestic sales of 15 million copies.

As for global sales, it’s hard to say for the time being. The North American region’s Left 4 Survival has just been launched, and Fang Xi’s plan is to unlock it at ten o’clock local time in North America. North America is 14 hours behind domestic time. The sale has just started, and the global first-day data will not be available until tomorrow, but I think it shouldn't be too bad.

And on the domestic Honghu game platform, players are also sharing fun moments in the game, telling their feelings about the game, etc., but what attracts the attention of other friends and businessmen is that almost one-third of the speeches are used Neither is Chinese.

This shows what? It shows that the trip to Hongyi E3 was quite successful. There are almost half of the players in the national server who have changed the location of their game platform despite the language barrier. They came to Huaxia District just to unlock the game in advance. He is a core fan of Hongyi.

Several other companies can only envy them. The first few old companies were confident about Hongyi because they almost controlled all domestic CD sales channels. At that time, they thought that as long as Hongyi made games, they would ask them sooner or later. , As a result, Hongyi has been making games for two years now, and it has no intention of being a physical entity at all. At that time, it was evaluated by several companies as a digital channel with a high risk of piracy. Now it has become the main channel of Hongyi, and it looks like Hongyi. I have never taken the initiative to combat piracy, and the piracy of Hongyi games often disappears by itself.

I am not surprised by this Fang Xi. I have adopted a more user-friendly UI than the steam platform. When you express your opinion on a game on the Honghu platform, your game time and achievements will be directly suffixed after the name-of course , this function is not locked, and players can also hide it, but for a real player, game time and achievements are medals to be proud of. So when a player praises or criticizes a certain game, but there is nothing behind the name, the reason is very interesting. starter

In the early days of the Honghu game platform, there were players who played pirated versions and then came to the genuine community to express their opinions, but Fang Xi did not vigorously prohibit this at the time. Facts have proved that as time goes forward, the players themselves let this group of people disappear up.

Probably, maybe, there is also the factor that the games on the Honghu game platform are not expensive?

Another aspect of the first show of the battle royale is that it proves the strength of Fang Xi's golden finger. The increase of the Internet speed of the Reaper server is amazing. European and American players are still worried about the delay before switching to the national server, but they are happy to play After a day, I didn't realize that I was playing a Chinese game until I saw the Chinese in the community.

Therefore, in Honghu’s community, one of the questions discussed by European and American players is, how many nodes does Hongyi set up around the world to allow global players to compete under the same delay?

To this question, if Fang Xi could answer, he would only answer with one number:

"0."

In July, there was another issue that Fang Xi was concerned about:

Hong Yi's mobile game department has finally been established!
