Almighty Game Designer Chapter 6: This game is poisonous
On the first attempt, he scored 0 points. This is the first time Qiu Hengyang has encountered this situation.
After Xiaoniao hangs up, a gameover interface pops up, recording the score this time and the best score, both are 0. However, there is a ranking below the score, which shows that Qiu Hengyang's current ranking is "--". Obviously, the score is too low and not included in the ranking.
In addition, Qiu Hengyang noticed that there was a blank space at the top of this interface, occupying a quarter of the screen, with three words written on it: "Advertising Space".
Qiu Hengyang nodded. These three words made his impression of the No. 7 designer a little better.
Qiu Hengyang is the founder of Hengyou.com, and has always been active in the front line of game development, so he attaches great importance to the profit model and profitability of the game.
Many designers who are not getting started have a problem, that is, when designing games, they do not consider its profitability.
In fact, what is the best way to monetize a game? Designers should think about it at the beginning.
For this kind of casual game, do you pay for the download? Or built-in ads? Different charging strategies have a great influence on the game itself.
This designer knows to leave an "advertising space" here, which shows that he has this consciousness, which is much stronger than those designers who are stubborn.
tap the screen again, and the game starts again.
This time, Qiu Hengyang was already prepared and kept tapping the screen. As a result, the trajectory of this stupid bird was too difficult to control. Qiu Hengyang luckily flew through two water pipes and fell on the third water pipe. .
"Nima!"
Qiu Hengyang refuses to accept, Qiu Hengyang wants to come again.
Five minutes later, Qiu Hengyang has died dozens of times.
There is no way, this game is too easy to die, even if it is played with full concentration, it is likely to overturn in three or four seconds.
and after I died, I clicked and started again. I didn't even need to think about time. I had already played a lot before I knew it.
Qiu Hengyang’s best score is 12, which is already a score that can only be obtained even with the best of milk.
After trying a dozen more times, Qiu Hengyang finally reached 14 and felt that he was a little confused.
But Qiu Hengyang noticed that in the ranking on the game over interface, he suddenly became the sixth.
Qiu Hengyang tried to click, and found that a leaderboard popped up, ranked from high to low.
Of course, the names on the rankings are all in the form of tourists XXXX. After all, Chen Mo can't let every player fill in the user name at the beginning, which will affect the game experience.
However, you can freely modify your name in the leaderboard interface.
Qiu Hengyang flipped down and was shocked. There were 543 people on the entire list!
There are only 700 players in total. More than 500 people have played this little game? This is simply against the sky! how is this possible?
Qiu Hengyang originally thought that most people would not be interested in this game, but he did not expect that there are more people who like this moth game than he thought.
Qiu Hengyang couldn't help being a little proud. More than 500 people ranked sixth. This result is quite worth showing off!
Qiu Hengyang clicked on his username and changed it to his real name.
He scrolled down first and found that the leaderboard was still changing, as if it was refreshed every five to ten seconds, which was quite frequent.
As a result, watching the names of people on the rankings keep going up and down, Qiu Hengyang really felt like "this game is very lively".
turned up again, Qiu Hengyang was shocked, because the first place in the ranking was 47 points!
Nima!
Qiu Hengyang wanted to die, how did he do it? Can such a perverted game score 47 points? Are you hanging up?
The first few names have not changed their names, and I probably haven't found this feature yet.
Qiu Hengyang is obviously unconvinced, not to mention that he is only 14 points now, only ranked sixth temporarily, and may be overtaken at any time.
"Play for another five minutes, and then try other games."
Qiu Hengyang turned off the leaderboard and started fighting again.
……
soon, ten minutes have passed, and the effect of the super focuser is over.
"It's a baffling game... I have been playing for so long, Nima."
A middle-aged man with glasses quit "flappybird", and a prompt box popped up on the interface: "Would you like to recommend this game to others?"
The middle-aged uncle hesitated and clicked "Recommend".
Because it's not very good to say anything, it's probably because of the mentality of "I can't be abused by myself".
Up to now, the ranking on "flappybird" has reached 589 people, and it continues to rise.
This is because people have a herd mentality. Some viewers know each other privately, and they are comparing each other with a higher score; moreover, the viewers can see other people’s screens, seeing so many people After playing this bird game, some viewers who were not affected by the super focuser were also attracted in.
After the super focuser failed, more than half of the players quit the game, but only a small part of them chose "not recommended", and the rest of the players chose "recommended".
As for the remaining players...Of course they are still scoring frantically.
Lin Hai noticed that Shi Huazhe, who was sitting next to him, looked bad, and asked with concern: "What's wrong, I'm not feeling well?"
Shi Huazhe shook his head: "Oh, it's okay."
Lin Hai felt that Shi Huazhe's gaze was a little flickering, and it was still concealed, so he couldn't help but feel a little curious.
As a result, he inadvertently glanced at Shi Huazhe's screen and found that it was the "flappybird" score panel: "This time: 4, best result: 4."
Lin Hai hurriedly turned around and almost laughed out loud. It turns out that Shi Huazhe was angry about this. It is also true that after ten minutes of playing, the best result was only 4 points, and he couldn't even make the top 200 in the rankings, so everyone would get angry.
Lin Hai didn't ask too much.
The experience game session continued. The whole session lasted for an hour, and only ten minutes passed.
Among the 700 viewers, nearly 600 have played ~IndoMTL.com~ However, only a small part of these people are still insisting, and the others have gone to play other games.
Chen Mo is not worried. When the host introduced the game before, he had a general understanding of the level of other participating games, and they were basically unsightly.
Except for one or two of which are made with good quality, other games Chen Mo simply don't like it. Compared with "flappybird"?
Well, let's put it this way. The graphics, resources, and content richness of these games have all exploded "flappybird", but is it really longer than the game time and spread speed?
I'm not targeting anyone, I mean all of you here are all five scumbags.
Sure enough, most of the audience quickly closed it after experiencing other games, and opened "flappybird" again.
is not to say how fun this game is, it's mainly for scoring!
How can I say that this game is poisonous? It is really boring and boring to play for a while, and it is very abused, but as long as you turn it off for five minutes, you will want to open it again.
Seeing the audience's reaction, Chen Mo felt confident. Now he is only worried about the views of the three judges.
If the three judges agree, tell me directly? That's no good too!
However, as long as one judge approves of his game, he will be the first one!
