Number One Game Designer

For Fang Xi, public opinion guidance and plot decryption are not the most common ways to bury burdens, but they still achieved unexpected results in this world.

For example, Hongyi's non-staff operator: blogger Pim has been living a very happy life recently.

First of all, the biggest news for him is undoubtedly that Hongyi’s game platform in North America has been officially completed. Su Luo’s Xuanniao Studio immediately stated that it will directly launch the official version of the game "Killing Planet". The update of the version is currently coming. It is said to be the latest version in the world, and this platform version also adds the function of online connection, as long as you have a player's friend, then you can join his battle situation. Of course, you can also join a strange player's battle through random search, and send a friend request to the other party after the end.

As for the price, Fang Xi's opinion at the time was that it was free, but Su Luo protested. Su Luo believed that for any excellent game, free is a decision that needs to be carefully considered. Fang Xi respects Su Luo's opinion, The final price was US$9.99, and to celebrate the launch of the official version in North America, the first week of discounts was launched. You can add this game to your library for only US$0.99. For this price, Fang Xi still thought about it In order to improve it, the concept of the Friends Play Pack was proposed. In addition to the unit price of 0.99 dollars for the first week, a 4-player team pack with a price of 3.14 dollars was added. After players purchase this combination pack, it contains four copies of the game. The activation code can be played by yourself, or given to a friend, and Fang Xi has no problem even posting it online for sale. Anyway, it is his leek after all... Ah no, player, as for how this player got in, is there any difference?

Overseas players naturally shouted long live for this. For them, an excellent game, sincerely made, genuine, continuously updated, and they can play with friends through the Internet, the price is only less than 1 US dollar. Rounding up is equal to giving away for nothing! This is how the first batch of Hongyi fans were born.

That's all well and good, but for Pym there's something else to be aware of. Now that I get Hongyi's salary, I have to do things for Hongyi. Now the topic of "Killing Planet" is rising all the way in North America, so Su Luo assigned him the first task, and this enthusiasm will be directed to the portal and the road to survival. Guide it.

So Pim started to learn Chinese honestly, and under the condition of hiring a translator, he started to make the first video about the background of killing the planet.

What? Where did you say that Killing Planet came from? Of course, the earliest game had no background. The 64KB version was a social security game, but with the launch of the online version other than the 64KB limit version, this initially small game has become more and more perfect. In the latest version In the update, Fang Xi even buried an Easter egg directly in the teaching level of entering the game.

Slaughtering Planet, a social security game in North America, is played by veteran players now. They are familiar with the operation, and almost no one clicks on the teaching function. Pim only found it after Su Luo’s suggestion. There is a format similar to Congratulations on Graduation, where the name of the person who issued the player's certificate also appears in the portal.

But generally speaking, Killing the Planet is actually a game that does not require a background, so Fang Xi secretly buried three Easter eggs, and I won’t talk about the others, because I haven’t thought about it yet, let the players guess for themselves , if they can guess a self-consistent explanation, then they will use this explanation as the background, and tell them: Wow, you are so awesome, you have found all the clues buried so deep, invincible!

So the player is satisfied, Fang Xi is satisfied, the best of both worlds, it's cool to think about.

Of course, the above is just a level of thinking for the time being, because Pim's first video to guide the popularity has not yet been released.

What's interesting is that with the popularity in North America, the Honghu platform's tutorials for changing the country to North America that Fang Xi and Liu Hai quietly distributed before the national server finally came in handy. covered players,

After this tutorial, the Honghu platform was downloaded one after another, and the number of Hongyi players grew again, and Boss Fang was about to burst into laughter at home.

In fact, Fang Xi suggested that the four-player pack that Suluo sells in North America is also a preparation for this, because the game platform itself involves various troublesome payment methods, and it is difficult for domestic players to buy games even if they change regions, but With this four-person pack, a large number of CDKs were born. In this case, domestic players only need to go to various channels to buy a CDK. As for Fang Xi, who was deceived in this process, there is really nothing to help... After all, the district has an agreement with Yinling, and Fang Xi is hindered in many things, which is not very convenient.

ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм\u003cFirst release, domain name, please remember\u003e And thinking of this, Fang Xi couldn't help urging Lu Tao again. Seeing Yinling became more and more uncomfortable, and Lu Tao's answers were always fast, and the information was being collected.

Although they had a bad relationship with Hongyi, Yinling's financial report last year was not ugly. It can even be said that Yinling is among the best among large companies in terms of revenue.

The most important thing is to step forward in Hongyi's footsteps. Relying on Yinling's own strong talent pool, it basically maintains the frequency of launching a web game every month. Although the turnover of each game is not so explosive, the turnover Multiplied by twelve is still pretty scary.....

This has also led to a rapid decline in the industry's evaluation of Ren Xiang. The most important thing for a game designer is the ability to explore the gameplay. The previous Ren Xiang may be considered popular, and he is one of the more attention-grabbing young designers, but After a year of consecutive page games, fans have basically lost. The real core players of the page game don't care who the designer is. For them, as long as this game can pass the time, it is cheaper than Hongyi to recharge the money, and they can buy perverts that are not in Hongyi's legend. Equipment, these are enough, as for Ren Xiang? do not know.

However, Ren Xiang himself had a hard time and couldn't tell. He wanted to kill Fang Xi directly, but Fang Xi took a sharp turn to engage in end-game games while playing games, and gained a lot of fame abroad, so Ren Xiang Xiang Pidianpidian went to the senior management of Yinling: I also want to make a client game.

But Yinling ruthlessly rejected him: Ren Xiang's browser game is now a stable growth point of the company, so it will definitely not be cut. After coming down, the position of the end game did not give Ren Xiang a place to intervene.

Suddenly looking back, Ren Xiang suddenly realized how awkward his position in Yinling was.

I was valued by Yinling, but only then did I realize that Yinling never valued him, but the company's financial report, and the talented designer in my goal, and myself? Just a replica of that designer.

And what if Hongyi no longer makes web games? Can I just do this endless cycle of one page game with no new ideas every month?
