Almighty Game Designer Chapter 15: Lack of 1 flash point


   At four o'clock in the afternoon, a red Ferrari parked in front of the experience store.

  Zhao Zihao got out of the car and looked at the front entrance of the experience store: "Hey! This experience store is not small, let the boy Chen Mo catch it."

   Lin Mao rolled his eyes: "Don't you have several such big stores?"

  Zhao Zihao said: "Hey, it's all my dad and my mom. What does it have to do with me. Chen Mo earned this by himself, it's different. Go, look inside."

   These two called Chen Mo and waited for Chen Mo to open the door.

  Zhao Zihao wears a white T-shirt on the upper body, jeans on the lower body, and a pair of sneakers. If he hadn't just gotten out of Ferrari, no one would believe that he was a rich second-generation.

   In fact, he is quite expensive, but I don’t know why the feeling of wearing him is not much different from that of street vendors.

   Lin Mao is more formal, with short-sleeved shirts and slacks, and he is usually calmer and looks more reliable.

   The door opened.

  "Come, come in." Chen Mo welcomed the two people inside.

  Zhao Zihao turned twice on the first floor and looked at the layout inside: "Yes, Chen Mo, this shop is really good. I will call you the Internet cafe owner Chen Mo in the future."

  Chen Moyile: "Don't make trouble, this is an authentic experience store."

   Lin Mao turned around with some envy: "All the things here are provided by the organizer? It's really good. I don't have my own experience store until now."

   Chen Mo said: "You also go to a competition."

   Lin Mao smiled: "Oh, I haven’t been there. It’s too difficult to win the championship, mainly because the audience’s tastes are quite strange. Last time I participated in the game, the quality of the game was obviously very good, but the audience If you don’t buy it, you won the second place. You tell me where I should go."

   The three chatted for a while, and found a restaurant nearby for dinner.

   There are only three of them, and they can’t eat too many dishes. Although Zhao Zihao is rich, he is not very particular about eating. He ordered five dishes and asked for two bottles of beer.

  "Zhao Zihao, how is your studio doing?" Chen Mo asked.

  Zhao Zihao took a sip: "Just like that. I didn't expect to make money. Anyway, I played the game with me. If I meet someone who can't be beaten in the game, I will call someone and gang fight."

   Lin Mao said: "Look at what you have done."

   Zhao Zihao said angrily: "Then why should I raise these people, isn't it just to be a thug?"

   Chen Mo said: "Then you can't go to the game to be bullying?"

  Zhao Zihao shook his head: "Hey, I've been mad enough to talk about these two days.

  Chen Mo asked: "What's wrong? Are people bullied in the game?"

  Zhao Zihao said: "The VR game that just came out recently is the "Earth Online" from a foreign country. I have been playing it recently, and this game almost angered me."

   Chen Mo asked: "What's wrong?"

  Zhao Zihao said: "Don’t mention it, the designer of this game is sick! Let me tell you, everyone who enters the game is born directly on the street, and they are only 500 yuan. Everyone has to follow the real world. The same, work to make money!"

   "Do you say I play your game here to experience the life of a wage earner? As a result, I didn't have to recharge it when I wanted to redeem it!"

  "The most annoying thing is that there is always that kind of silly pen coming over and stalking you, deliberately looking for faults, but you beat him, and the police arrest you. I always fight, I want to call all my brothers, and the result This group is not born in the same city as me, so why take a train!"

  Chen Mole: "This is too real, right?"

   Lin Mao said with emotion: "This foreign designer is amazing, can this kind of game be made?"

  Zhao Zihao said very unconvincedly: "Hey, it's amazing, but I always think this designer is sick, what good is it for disgusting players? What's wrong with this technology?"

   Chen Mo said: "It’s a bit irrational. I have experienced countless times in reality. What's the point of experiencing it in the game again."

  Zhao Zihao continued: "Furthermore, this game has money and nowhere to spend. You can't buy anything with recharge, you have to earn it yourself! He also keeps on cracking down on private transactions, and if you find it, you will be blocked. I am so embarrassed. I don’t want to play anymore."

  Chen Mo smiled: "Don't worry, wait for me to make you a game that directly buys combat power. You can be as cool as you want."

  Zhao Zihao happily: "Really, Chen Mo, then I'm just waiting for you to spend money on combat power games! Then don't say anything, first charge it for a thousand dollars!"

   Chen Mo smiled: "One thousand yuan? I can guarantee one thousand yuan. You can die with a little dignity in the game."

   "Huh?" Zhao Zihao was stunned. "A thousand dollars is not enough? The internal beta qualification of "Earth Online" only sells for more than 500 dollars."

  Chen Mo lowered his head and sipped his tea: "Okay, you'll know then."

   Lin Mao said: "Hey, it's a long way. Zhao Zihao, what specific business does your studio do now? How many players are there?"

  Zhao Zihao thought for a moment: "Players. That's right. Our company is a studio and does not directly manage the guild. The guild leaders only have players in their hands. We are still separated by one floor."

   Lin Mao asked: "Then how many presidents can you reach? When my game is finished, can you bring me some users?"

  Zhao Zihao said: "That depends on how much you want. I know about a dozen presidents, and the number of players added is about a few thousand. You must think of relying on this person to give your game revenue It’s a bit difficult to support, but it’s okay to just support the scene."

   Lin Mao sighed: "The indie game I made was not easy to promote and was niche. Those channels were not very promising and the resources were too few."

  Zhao Zihao said: "Can't you directly link to the application market?"

   Lin Mao shook his head: "Just hang on the application market, no one pays attention, and no users see it."

  Zhao Zihao thought for a while and said: "Okay, I will ask you at that time, and try to figure out a way to stir up the popularity of the game. It is really not good, at least I will make the data for you to look good. By the way, Chen Mo, do you have any suggestions?"

   Chen Mo said: "I haven't seen your game yet."

   Lin Mao took out his mobile phone and handed it to Chen Mo: "Let's take a look, the degree of completion is probably 80%."

   Chen Mo took the phone and clicked on the indie game that Lin Mao was developing.

   After playing for five minutes, Chen Mo knows it in his heart~IndoMTL.com~ This is a horizontal version of the game, using European medieval packaging, the theme is the cliché story of the knight saving the princess, and the defeat of the dragon Boss battle plot.

  In Chen Mo's opinion, the various designs are actually quite good among D-level designers, but there are still some flaws.

   Although it's okay in all aspects, it's really difficult for players to pay. Even if the game is priced at ten yuan, players have to consider why they should buy it.

  Plot? How to play? art? All are good, but none of them are particularly brilliant.

  Chen Mo thought for a while and said, "I think you may have a misunderstanding in thinking."

   Lin Mao asked: "What's wrong?"

  Chen Mo said: "I think your positioning is problematic. You are making an indie game. It is indeed a niche game, but your own positioning does not actually need to be a niche game."

  Zhao Zihao scratched his head: "What do you mean, a little bit around, Chen Mo, please make it clear."

   Chen Mo said: "It can be seen that you have worked hard in all aspects of this single-player mobile game, but you have done it completely according to the standards of niche games, which means that you just aim at that. A small group of players who like this theme, and the number of these players is simply not enough to support the sales of this game."

   Lin Mao was a little puzzled: "But, isn't the game just aimed at the needs of target players?"

  Chen Mo said: "I mean, you can expand the group of target players. To put it more simply, you need more people to play your game."

   Lin Mao was puzzled: "Simply put it, I also know this, but how can more people come to play?"

   Chen Mo said: "It's easy, find a bright spot."
