Otherworldly Architect (The Strongest Game Architect)

v3 Chapter 206: Blue Star Platform

Just like the krypton gold game released by Dragon Sabre Studio in the past, many people don't understand: what's so fun about a game like that? Does anyone really enjoy playing a game like this?

However, there are.

Just like this generation of young people may not understand why some adults are addicted to some anti-Japanese dramas that have no logic and sense of reality.

Just like the next generation of children can't understand why today's adults still like to play an MMORPG online game that was "old" ten years ago.

Age, experience, education, gender, class, etc., will create a generation gap, which makes one group of players unable to accurately understand the needs of another group.

For the male players of Tulong Baodao Studio, the commoners will basically abandon the pit within a week of playing "Iron Horse Glacier", while the local tyrants choose to play until the country is destroyed.

For female players, players who cannot get joy in this easy and sweet plot may not download "Love in Time and Space" at first.

But for those who just eat this set, they like to watch the brainless plot of the domineering president's pet pet.

——Life is already very tiring. I commute to get off work from 9 to 5 every day to support my family. After I turn on my mobile phone, of course I don’t have the energy to study, think, or argue about something.

——Just take it easy, pretending that you can have a perfect love and a perfect life, can’t you just have a dream?

If there is demand, there will be a market, and if there is a market, there will be corresponding products.

For Tulong Baodao Studio, this is just another game they can "make money".

But for players, a good game is the medicine for the soul.

When "Love in Time and Space" was first tested for the plot, the macho designers were afraid that the girl players would be shy, so they specially reserved enough space for them.

A female player fell asleep for a while while watching the plot.

When she woke up, she heard the president reading lines on the phone: "Are you awake? Did you sleep well?"

Then she held the phone, tears actually came down.

Modern people are creatures who can easily pretend to be strong. They are obviously out of breath under the burden of life, but they still pretend to be very relaxed when facing colleagues and friends.

The female player said: "I'm really embarrassed. I haven't watched the plot very seriously. It's enough to listen to the voices of the handsome guys. But knowing that these handsome guys dote on the heroine so much, I feel very happy when I watch it occasionally. Yes. I just wanted to be envious, but I didn't expect to wake up from sleep and have someone caring for me. I haven't experienced it for a long time... It was so touching that I couldn't hold back my tears."

The designers of Dragon Slayer also drew inspiration from this little incident.

Because the Chaoyang Alliance is so vast and sparsely populated, many people have almost zero social interaction in reality.

Eating hot pot alone, watching a movie alone, performing surgery alone—all these days are quite common.

Perhaps the biggest social activity every month is to invite a group of friends to play "Dragon Hunter" on the mountain, and then through the little liveliness of the dragon battle, and then support the next lonely night.

Therefore, "Love in Time and Space" has a built-in "sleep coaxing" mode.

As long as the corresponding voice card is collected, the hero's "sleep coaxing" mode can be turned on at any time.

He will whisper in the player's ear, it may be trivial muttering, it may be the danger of staying up late, or it may be pure care and consideration.

After the player falls asleep, the game will automatically close until the next time the player wakes up.

Then open your eyes, you can see the handsome guy's face close at hand, and a magnetic voice says, "Baby, are you awake? I hope you are full of confidence and radiant today."

- It's so healing, isn't it? !

Even if something is known to be a routine, people still can't help but fall into it.

It's like knowing that spicy hot pot hurts the stomach, but no one can resist the charm of spicy hot pot.

It's like knowing that the game of Tulong Baodao Studio is good at deceiving krypton, but when players see "the price is reduced by 90%, you can take it home for 10 yuan", they still can't help taking out their wallets!

The initial test of "Love in Time" was quite successful, and the marketing department reported that the plot almost completely captured the point of the target group.

What I want is to be relaxed and happy, simple and mindless, and what I want is the feeling of being spoiled.

Players who want to dig more different content will naturally be more liver and kryptonite, go to the blackening plot and take a look - and then experience a different healing process.

Ming Yan also took this report and read it for a while.

But the next day he had to rush to the Morning Star Incubation Park again.

This batch of games hatched this year encountered some unexpected problems.

- Channel fees have risen.

As I said before, before each game is listed, it needs to pass the review of the government department, and it can only be put on the platform if there is no problem.

In recent years, however, the policy has been tightened step by step.

Many games, according to everyone's experience, can pass the trial, but this year they are suddenly not allowed to pass the trial, and they must be played back and rebuilt.

In this case, the market is naturally turbulent, and everyone has become a little more careful.

Channels such as game platforms have also followed in the footsteps of the above, stepping up their own review process and increasing the cost of channel extraction.

For example, most of the games listed on the Atlas platform in the past were divided into 50-50.

But since the beginning of this year, the Atlas family's strategy has been adjusted, and it has become a 60% draw.

For Morningstar Incubation Park, this is no small matter.

At that time, it was agreed when the contract was signed before incubation that Morningstar Incubation Park would take a certain degree of responsibility for matters such as listing, contracts, and audits.

Now this batch of games is facing an industry crisis before it is on the shelves. Either choose to eat this loss, or choose to pass the cost on to these gamers...

That is to say, Morningstar Incubation Park also increased the commission to make up for its own losses.

Ming Yan confirmed this issue with Xia Cheng.

This kind of decision from the most upstream government, the game industry has nothing to do for the time being.

Even if it is Blue Star as the golden signboard, or the Dragon Slayer Sword as the best taxpayer, it can't be against the trend of the times.

The only thing that can be done may be...

"If you lose a little bit, you will lose a little bit, and it's still according to the original contract." Ming Yan said, "The Atlas family's commission has risen to 60%, and the IPP family is not far away. Let's put them on the shelves as soon as possible."

To be honest, the management team at Morningstar still does not recommend operating at a loss.

But the clear words blocked them back.

"Tu Long's "Iron Horse Glacier" now has a monthly income of over 100 million yuan. It is not used to feed the gamers. What are you going to use it for?"

After speaking lightly, he ignored those objections.

But, behind the scenes, someone whispered in a low voice.

"Why does Blue Star's Chief Master Ming know so much about the game revenue of Dragon Slayer Sword..."

"Tu Long is an investment in the face of Chief Master Ming, right?"

"I always feel that something is not right. The two gods of wealth are close friends in private. This is a friendship that exceeds 100 million yuan a month."

Channel fees have risen, affecting the entire industry at the same time.

The amount of bank loans has been reduced, the total investment has plummeted, the market value of new game companies has shrunk, and even the development of next-generation games has been affected.

Thinking of the predicament of the other team and Zhuo Yu, Ming Yan couldn't help feeling unbearable.

At night, Ming Yan was sighing: "There seems to be no way to solve this problem."

Xia Cheng thought for a while, smiled and said, "No, there are very few things in the world that money can't solve - if you don't care about profits and losses, the channel problem can be solved easily."

Ming Yan thought thoughtfully: "You mean?"

"Make your own game distribution platform." Xia Cheng said.

To be a game distribution platform?

Ming Yan thought about it seriously when he turned back, and by the way, he pulled up his consultant team and consulted them about it.

The evaluation results given by the team are also very intuitive: to be a platform, Blue Star is qualified!

No matter in terms of capital, fame, or traffic channels, Blue Star is now one of the best in the industry.

On the official website of Blue Star, the number of registered users has reached almost 100 billion.

In other words, almost one-third of the Chaoyang Alliance's total population have played Blue Star games!

For the time being, let’s not put other games on the platform, but integrate Bluestar games first.

Ming Yan imagined the scene:

Every day, after Blue Star players go online, they log on to the Blue Star platform and directly enter their own territory.

The house is built by itself in the mode of "Minecraft", whether it is a flying city or an underwater villa;

When you go online, Xiaolong will follow automatically, like a little pet, you can follow wherever you go, and you can also fight against other pets at any time;

Put a war sandbox in the room, open it and you can match the "League of Legends" with your friends;

There is a set of assassin uniforms in the bedroom closet, which can be seamlessly integrated into the world of "Assassin's Way";

The computer in the house has "Xinghe" installed, and you can go in and experience it at any time;

There is a portal in the yard. Whenever you want to experience the exciting dark world, stand up and teleport into the planet of "Soul of Mortal" in one second;

By the way, you can also put your favorite weapon on the display stand-maybe a sword, maybe a piano, in short, pick it up and join the quaint world of "Xia Ke Xing";

If you miss Russell and Louis, pick up your own biochemical weapons and return to the world of "Blue Star Doomsday" at any time.

...

Well, it's best to grow vegetables in the yard!

In the future, it will be a fierce battle with the pets, and the masters will steal the neighbor's food behind their backs!

Ming Yan: I am a big blue star, how can I not farm?
