Super Tycoon

"Mr. Li, you are back. The chairman's office has informed that you will come over when you come back. He wants to hear a report on the new game."

Li Junsheng had just arrived at the company from the airport, and before he had time to sit down and drink some water, he immediately rushed to Zhang Yang's office with his bag.

"Hey, Junsheng is back. Haven't had time to rest yet? Xiao Wang, make a pot of Jin Junmei."

Li Junsheng sat on the sofa, took out some materials from his bag, and put them in front of Zhang Yang.

"Chairman, this is an online battle game jointly developed by us with Blizzard Entertainment, Riot Games and two small companies in Europe. The core operation mode of the game is set by Riot Games, and the appearance and background of the characters are set by Blizzard Entertainment. Mainly, the two small companies have made a lot of contributions in terms of sound effects and props."

"We mainly put forward some opinions and suggestions, and at the same time assisted them in modifying the settings and formulating release strategies. This game has passed the internal beta, and it is going to be public beta before Christmas, which will last for a month."

"Now we are doing translations in various languages, which can be completed by the end of November, or early December at the latest. The charging model we think is a mixed system charging, paid downloads and item payments."

Mixed charges? Zhang Yang became interested.

"Tell me in detail."

"Paid download means that in our game store, you can spend money to download the game client. Considering that the legends and World of Warcraft we released before are all free, but time card fees are charged. We do not charge time card fees for this, but Client downloads require payment."

"I don't intend to make this one too expensive, about ten dollars is enough. In China, it is mainly for Internet cafes, and a discounted price is also given. As for the personal aspect, can it be lowered appropriately, such as fifty dollars?"

Zhang Yang shook his head: "It seems that paying 50 yuan and free follow-up is much more cost-effective than the time card of World of Warcraft, but have you ever thought that there are so many free games, why do they pay for it? Internet cafes Maybe if you are willing to pay, the individual willingness is much less.”

Now the price of pork has not risen sharply, it is only a few yuan a catty, and fifty yuan is enough for two friends to have a drink at a roadside stall.

"I remember our game store has a membership model?"

Li Junsheng nodded: "Yes, inspired by Penguin last year, we launched a membership model. Recharge as a member, and there will be discounts for downloading games in the future."

"It seems that we have lost a lot of money, but it can better retain players, and it can also suppress other game companies and game console manufacturers."

"En." Zhang Yang nodded: "This model is good, but have you considered why you can't launch some free games for members?"

"Since we want to give some profits to players, we might as well give some more to attract more players. For example, for some series of games, we give members the first 8-bit games to download for free, and they will want to play games with higher quality. Subsequent games will also boost our game sales."

"Anyway, some 8-bit games can't be sold now. Most of them are played by nostalgic people. The annual revenue is only tens of millions of dollars. Although it is purely profitable, it has indeed declined very obviously, and many of them are almost gone. People are willing to pay to download."

"Since no one is willing to pay, we will directly provide it to members for free. This will also stimulate some players to pay to register as our members and continue to increase the number of our members.

"

"Look at our go-karts, which are also free, but there are quite a few people who are willing to pay for props, and the proportion is very high. They can also make money."

"The model of item charging has proved its feasibility. If you plan to operate in this way, then there is no need to charge the client. It is the same with Internet cafes. We must either let them register as members or give them a very low price to help us. Better promotion."

"The more people play the game, the more props will be sold and the more we will earn. What do you think?"

Li Junsheng picked up the teacup and finished a cup of tea.

"Chairman, I understand. The number of members determines our advantage over other competing companies. This is more important. I just think this game is very fun. With the reputation of our company, the number of people who pay for downloading the game will not few."

Li Junsheng just wants to make more money for the company. With money, he can have better advertising, better develop subsequent versions, and develop new games faster.

However, the chairman's method directly gave the company better publicity, more players and fans, and a better reputation. Of course, it was the chairman's plan.

After all, online games are not the kind of stand-alone or LAN games. Zhiduoxing Group has already formulated a game charging model, and rashly exploring new ones may cause dissatisfaction among players.

If this leads to the loss of players, the loss to the company will be even greater.

"Let me talk about the game mode again. Many players like to PK in the game, but in general large-scale online games, PK is a game mode, but it is not the main mode. It is more about fighting monsters and upgrading, doing tasks and so on."

"This game is a combination of sparring and tower defense games. Both sides attack each other's territory. After capturing the lair, the player wins. Players control the hero and can lead their own soldiers to attack the opponent."

"Some operating modes, some are like Warcraft 3, but this is an online game, you don't need to go to Battle.net to play it. With one less platform, the game will be smoother and the requirements for computer configuration will be lower."

“We have designed different outfits for each hero, and it takes money to buy new outfits. There will be some gold coin rewards in the game, more rewards for winning, less rewards for failure. Gold coins can be used to buy props, but some props must Top-up purchases, including costumes, characters, runes, etc."

Zhang Yang raised his hand: "Forgot how we define Audition? The costumes of characters are called skins. Different skins have different appearances, and they are equipped with different special effects."

"This special effect is just a visual effect, and it can also be counted as a prop, which can be purchased by players for a fee. There are also our commonly used full-screen small speakers, VIP mode, etc., all added to it."

"VIPs are given some gold coins and small speakers every day. They are all limited in number. After they get used to it, they will charge money to buy more."

The most inconspicuous small speakers can actually make a lot of money for the company. Each person spends an average of 10 yuan. If there are 50 million users, it will be 500 million yuan in revenue. What's more, those who spent ten yuan, many of them couldn't help but spend more ten yuan.

"Junsheng, it seems that you are very optimistic about this game, and even went to communicate and sign the contract in person. I am also optimistic about this game, this will be another hit of ours!"
