Reborn Game Pioneer

Chapter 117 Are you a dog?

When he mentioned the game, his entire tone of voice and mental state changed, as if a person with little confidence suddenly gained confidence.

Gu Feng tapped the table with his fingertips, very satisfied with his change in status.

Gu Feng knows that some introverts are actually less confident in their mentality. When they are in the fields they are good at, they will show a completely different side from their usual state, just like what Wang Chen is showing now. The state is the same, his voice is louder, his speech is smoother and more organized, and more importantly, there is confidence from the bottom of his heart in his eyes.

This is the right state, if he always has that timid appearance, no matter how powerful he is, it will be embarrassing for the chief designer.

His satisfaction with it reached a higher level, and Gu Feng said: "You are right. The core gameplay and core selling point of the hidden object game are all in the word 'find'. If you rashly add other gameplay, it will most likely be counterproductive." .”

The fact that the other party can think of this at least proves that his mind is still clear, and he is better than the company in the previous life that imposed match-[-].

Wang Chen nodded in agreement. It was not surprising that Gu Feng would agree with him. In terms of analyzing the psychology of players, Gu Feng's skills were only higher than his.

"But..." At this moment, Gu Feng changed the subject: "Not being able to rashly increase the gameplay does not mean that it is really impossible to increase the gameplay."

Seeing Wang Chen frowning and looking puzzled, Gu Feng directly acted as the riddler:
"Horizontal expansion is not feasible. Have you ever thought about vertical expansion?"

After speaking, he leaned back, folded his hands on his chest, and stared at him quietly with an inscrutable look, just like a master testing his apprentice, a teacher testing his student, and Clivia testing him.

Wang Chen also knew in his heart that this was the other party's test for him. Judging from Gu Feng's attitude, it was very likely that he had already thought of a solution.

Using his game to test him, Wang Chen himself would feel embarrassed if he couldn't answer the question.

His brain was working at high speed, he closed his eyes, and his whole body entered a state of concentration without distracting thoughts.

Horizontal expansion...exploration, mechanisms, reasoning...these will not work.

Extend lengthwise.

Extend towards...

extend?

伸！
Wang Chen opened his eyes suddenly, he understood what Gu Feng meant!

He looked excited: "Mr. Gu, I understand what you mean!"

"Tell me about it." Being able to figure it out so quickly and in just one click is really a brilliant brain.

"The vertical extension you just mentioned refers to changing the gameplay but keeping the core unchanged, that is, adding other hidden object gameplay."

Gu Feng nodded with satisfaction and asked again: "Then do you have any ideas? Just say one."

Wang Chen lowered his head and began to think deeply. After about a minute, he suddenly raised his head and replied with a smile on his face: "Yes! We can make it like this, the same thing with different details. Well...for example...for example... There are 1 butterflies with exactly the same outline and size. All butterflies are different only in the pattern of their wings. What the player has to do is to find 20 butterflies with the specified pattern within the time limit."

"Oh! We can also do this, make a masquerade scene. There are 50 people in the scene. Everyone is wearing a mask. After the mask is taken off by the player, it will be put back on after 3 seconds. The player must within a limited time Successfully find three randomly given target people, and only when the previous target person is successfully found, will the face of the next target person be given."

The more Wang Chen talked, the more excited he became. When he thought of the players yelling at their fathers and mothers and playing more and more unable to stop, he was so excited that he wanted to perform a backflip on the spot.

"Because this type of level is a limited-time level, it only takes less than 2 minutes to play it once. In order to prevent players from passing the level at once and not enjoying the fun brought by the level, we can grade this type of level. For example, the gameplay of Masquerade is for beginners In the intermediate level, we can make the characters move freely. In the advanced level, we can add a light and dark cycle gradient mechanism. At the darkest time, the player can't see anything and can only worry. , but it definitely won’t last too long. I feel like one second...oh no! Half a second to one second might be more appropriate.”

The corner of Gu Feng's mouth twitched slightly. Wang Chen's excitement in sharing various ideas on how to improve players' gaming experience reminded him of the "children playing with cigarette butts" incident two days ago.

You are a dog, right?How did you come up with these deceptive ideas in such a short time?Thank you so much for being so considerate of players!At this moment, thinking of the other party's online name, "For the sake of players," Gu Feng suddenly felt like vomiting.

"Stop! That's enough..." Gu Feng finally couldn't help but interrupt him.

"These ideas of yours are very good. Players will definitely be unsatisfied after playing them. It can be seen that your design ability is still very good. If you can be more confident like you are now, it will be perfect." Gu Feng said. commented.

These thoughts of yours are really cheating. After playing the game, the player will definitely have a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot. I can’t tell that your thick eyebrows and big eyes are weak, but it’s better to keep a low profile as you usually do at work, I’m afraid you will be beaten. .Gu Feng was worried in his heart.

Gu Feng's praise made Wang Chen giggle, feeling happy to be recognized by others, but he didn't notice the other thoughts behind Gu Feng's smiling face.

If it was just an interview, Gu Feng had already passed it in his heart, but what could be seen from the game "Hidden Object Detective" was still too limited.

The opponent's psychological control over the players is very good, their brains are bright, their thoughts are vivid, and their design ideas come as they come.

But if he wants to be a good chief designer, these alone are definitely not enough. Gu Feng also needs to test his skills in other aspects.

"The competition will end in a week. Have you figured out how to make money from this game?"

It is right to make good games with your heart, but it is wrong to use love to generate electricity. While thinking about how to make good games, finding the most suitable profit model for the game in hand is also a required course for a designer.

Wang Chen nodded. He was not a wealthy person like Gu Feng. Of course, he couldn't make games just for the players to enjoy the game. The players had to be willing to pay while enjoying the game. That was the real skill.

"I have thought about this issue for a long time. First, I haven't thought about the price of buyout, but I feel that it is best not to exceed ten yuan."

Gu Feng nodded in agreement. The profit model of this type of game is really not very profitable. Buying out is the easiest and safest way.

At this time, he was curious about what other ideas Wang Chen had. After all, if there is a first, there must be at least a second.
As expected, Wang Chen continued: "Second, sell advertising."

"Selling ads?" Gu Feng frowned, and immediately thought of the mechanism of receiving rewards for watching ads in his previous life. He knew that for those games or other apps that have little profit point or are not well-known, adopting this profit model is helpless. Another one is indeed making money.

But understanding is understanding, Gu Feng is absolutely disgusted and resistant to this profit model. Basically, if a software dares to show the words "watch ads or watch videos" in front of him, Gu Feng will immediately teach it how to remove the trash can. road.

Seeing that Gu Feng's expression was obviously not good, Wang Chen's heart tightened slightly, and he quickly explained: "Mr. Gu, you may have misunderstood."

Although he didn't know what the other party had misunderstood, but to explain, how could he say otherwise?

“What I mean by selling advertising is to perfectly embed advertisements in the game scene. For example, if we do a fast food advertisement, we can put the advertisements on billboards, leaflets, TV, and posters in the game scene without any violation. It has a sense of implantation, the color tone and painting style are consistent with the surrounding scene, and the mission objectives avoid these items with advertisements. Even if players see them, they will probably just think of them as easter eggs specially arranged by the designer."

Gu Feng's brows quickly widened when he heard his explanation. After hearing this, he praised without hesitation: "You can do it!"
