Chapter 40 Sweeping it all away
At eight o'clock the next morning, Huang Ping was standing guard outside the studio.
When Fang Cheng came over and opened the door, he couldn't wait to walk in, turn on the phone and sit in the queue, make tea by the way, and then start today's work.
Yesterday, Huang Ping received 40,000 yuan as a reward as soon as he joined the company, and the financial pressure disappeared instantly.
But the most surprising thing was yesterday’s tea and essential oils.
The tea leaves look a bit like dried leeks, but after brewing a little bit, the aroma is very fragrant. A small pinch can be used to brew a large pot of water, and the tea flavor will gradually fade after four or five additions.
The taste of tea is fresh. After drinking it for a while, there will be an elegant sweetness in your mouth, and your mind will become extremely smart. Even Huang Ping, who doesn't like tea, likes it.
After getting ready, he was about to start working when he heard Fang Cheng say from the front: "Huang Ping, don't come so early in the future. It's okay to sleep a little longer at home." "
Boss, work is already my hobby."
"Change it. Have a better hobby, working all the time will only harm you."
Huang Ping nodded noncommittally, but he was thinking about how he could work overtime for a while.
If lunch is done in ten minutes, eighty minutes should be saved.
Quit smoking and you can save another forty minutes a day.
Grab a big water cup and save some time on fetching water.
Finally, buy a pair of diapers...
Huang Ping's divergent thinking stopped abruptly after the game started, and then he sank into the game time and began to write game system plans continuously.
Immersed in the work he likes, Huang Ping feels that time flies by.
Three days later, on Thursday morning, Huang Ping looked at the document he had completed with satisfaction and wondered why his document writing skills were so good.
Although this game does not require too many systems and most of them focus on detailed adjustments, he was still surprised that the relevant documents were completed so quickly.
Fangcheng Studio does not allow overtime work, but Huang Ping feels that his work efficiency is surprisingly high, even double or even triple that of Tianyi.
But think about it, when he was at Tianyi, he always assumed that he would work overtime today, so he was prepared with all kinds of fishing methods from the beginning.
Even during the worst period of overtime work, he would do everything possible to catch fish.
It is normal to light a cigarette every hour. It is a basic skill to squat on the toilet for half an hour while others are not paying attention. It is a basic skill to open the interface window to the minimum and then read a novel. There are even copywriters pretending to create tables but actually writing novels in Excel. He's seen them all.
But in Fangcheng Studio, he was in no mood to fish.
The subjective initiative of planning fully blossomed under the stimulation of interest and salary. The fact that he was not allowed to work overtime made him race against time. The final result was that his efficiency was greatly improved, and he came up with his own plan in three days.
Combined with his understanding of Fangcheng Studio, he adopted a buyout and micro-Krypton method to formulate the system. After players buy the game, they only need to purchase another pass every month to meet most resource needs.
Of course, rich people can also spend as much money as they want without any cap.
Players can get all the rewards without spending money, but it will take a long time. But the longer they play, the hungrier they will be and the more likely they are to keep paying.
Moreover, the game itself requires payment, so these players actually have the potential to pay. Before they are tricked by subsequent payment points, the average payment ability of each player is about 600 yuan.
If calculated based on the previous sales of "Princess Dungeon", the revenue of this game may exceed 100 million.
After moving his fingers with satisfaction, Huang Ping sent the document to Fang Cheng.
After receiving the document, Fang Cheng opened it, read it carefully, and then nodded.
As expected of nine years of planning, the planning case is comprehensive and can be used as a model in the training center.
Version arrangements and subsequent function planning were carried out according to time, and even the production time and testing time of various systems were taken into account.
However, what puzzles Fang Cheng is that the other party seems to have added a lot of competition and battle content to the "meditation" gameplay he wants, but meditation is still one of the important components, so you don't need to pay attention to those content.
There was only one aspect that made Fang Cheng a little dissatisfied, and after deducing it with his fingers, Fang Cheng felt that this aspect even made the game unfun. Ten minutes later, Fang Cheng called Huang Ping over, pointed at Huang Ping's plan and asked: "Is this payment model fun?"
This sentence made Huang Ping unable to do it.
He was already prepared for the other party to ask about the payment concept and turnover, but he didn't expect Fang Cheng to directly ask him, "Is it fun?"
Can the paid model be described as fun?
Isn’t it better to pay more?
Huang Ping pondered for a moment, and then said seriously: "The paid model cannot be described as fun. The micro-Krypton model I adopted is to keep players in a state of hunger and dissatisfaction at all times, so that they can buy the game itself after , continue to recharge and increase the turnover."
"So, this process is fun not because of the game itself, but because of the extra convenience that spending money brings. Can I understand this?" "
...Yes."
"It's a lot of money. It can bring happiness part of the time, so what kind of fun is unique to this game? Moreover, the rich are a minority after all, so the plan you proposed actually creates a lot of unhappy people and then makes them a very small minority. Is this the source of human happiness?"
After thinking for a long time, Huang Ping said calmly: "That's true, but what I think more about is flowing water." "
Well, I understand. So you are not doing this for It's fun, right?"
"Yes, but..."
"So, is it really necessary for the game?"
At this moment, Huang Ping was enlightened!
Looking at Fang Cheng in front of him, Huang Ping just wanted to say one thing, what a pattern.
You deserve your success!
The only criterion for measuring a game is that it is fun, but he has stayed in Tianyi for too long, his eyes are covered with dust, and various methods of forcing him to lose money have already made him forget his original intention.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Fang Cheng, "Thank you very much, boss. I'll go back and revise it." "
Well, take your time and think it through before telling me."
Watching Huang Ping leave firmly, Fang Cheng nodded with satisfaction. .
Children can be taught.
Huang Ping came up with another version in the afternoon and regarded fun as his only criterion for making games.
Although Fang Cheng still didn't feel that it was fun in some settings, as long as the most critical "meditation" was still there, then Fang Cheng felt that nothing was wrong.
After deducing it, Fang Cheng found that the unpleasant part of the plan had disappeared, and the remaining parts seemed to have no problems, so he happily released the modification authority and let Huang Ping and Xiaodouzi work together to formulate the gameplay.
As a "programmer", he began to adjust the game according to Huang Ping's needs and adjust the laws of heaven corresponding to the world to make it fit Huang Ping's requirements.
Half a month later, the beta version of "Quietness to Cultivate Your Body" was completed.
Because the game is a beta version, Huang Ping suggested not to charge for it yet, but to put the beta version on the Steam platform for free as an early access version for testing, and then start charging after the version is official.
At the same time, the early access version is also an advertisement to facilitate players' spontaneous promotion and build momentum for the official launch of the game.
Fang Cheng had no idea about money, and the studio's cash flow was very abundant, so he readily agreed.
Qualification for the beta version is issued in the form of an activation code. Players who have purchased "Princess Dungeon" can apply for and receive the activation code for free on the steam interface of "Quiet to Cultivate Your Body".
The first batch of activation codes totaled 10,000. I thought these activation codes should be enough, but Fang Cheng still underestimated the enthusiasm of the players.
Only three hours passed.
All nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine activation codes have been collected.
