The first is the issue of profitability, which is a task and goal for almost all games.
After all, it is such a big company with many employees who are all waiting for the game to make a profit.
As long as Soul Knight achieves this mission, it will be of significant help to the future development of Huangtu Game Company!!!
Secondly, what Wang Chuan values more is long-term development.
According to Wang Chuan, before experiencing "Genshin Impact", you need to register an account and complete your personal information.
What is the purpose of doing this?
Of course, this is for future channel considerations.
Without your own channels, you will eventually be like a duckweed without water. Survival is no problem, but it will be difficult to get started.
It is really very difficult to have a user base as large as that of the three factories.
However, without taking small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles; without the accumulation of small streams, one cannot form a river or sea.
Wang Chuan never thought that a single game could accumulate a large number of users. This is not realistic!
But if you can save a little more, that’s enough.
Over time, there will always be a time when quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes!!!
"But, should Soul Knight continue to operate like it did in its previous life?"
Wang Chuan was a little hesitant, pinching his chin and thinking constantly.
The previous game "Genshin Impact" was able to achieve success, so its own profit-making method is worthy of reference and reference.
The previous version of "Genshin Impact" adopted a free plus in-app purchase model.
The game itself is free, but there are in-app purchases.
For example, characters, skills, skins in the game...
These all have krypton gold points.
Of course, this way of making profits was normal in the previous life.
Oh, and there are ads in the game.
Players who want to revive after death or double the resources required to pass levels need to watch ads.
Looking at it this way, do you think Soul Knight has a lot of revenue?
The answer is no!!!
Although it seems that there are many pay-to-win points in "Genshin Impact", it is like a hodgepodge.
But in fact, "Soul Knight" adopts the method of small profits but quick turnover.
And the income is very low~~~
The reasons lie in operations and third-party issues.
The game "Soul Knight" itself is not encrypted, which leads to the rampant use of modifiers.
It can be said that any modifier on the market can modify player resources, and almost everyone has plug-ins.
Moreover, the game does not have cloud saving, which causes problems for players who spend money.
I recharged money, but it didn't arrive in my account; I purchased a character, but the save file disappeared, etc.
These situations happen all the time.
Absolutely, these situations are no longer a problem for Wang Chuan! !
With the lessons learned from his previous life, he took remedial measures from the beginning.
No cloud saves?
Okay, then I'll add cloud saving so that you won't have any problems again.
Cheats and cracked versions?
Don't worry, this world is unique. No one dares to make cheats or cracked versions. Anyone who tries will be caught. If you want to be provided with food and shelter, you can consider it.
"Well, then let's give up on ads and go free with in-app purchases!!"
After thinking for a long time, Wang Chuan finally made up his mind.
Referring to the payment method in the previous life, the game itself is free, but some special professions still require krypton gold.
Consider also the existence of loyal players and hardcore gamers in every game.
Wang Chuan also created many characters that are worth playing.
As for advertising, Wang Chuan gave up on it.
He used to be a gamer, so he simply passed the advertisement that affected the experience.
The reason why he adopted this profit-making method was based on the games in his previous life.
But he is more familiar with it.
Because the profit-making task of "Soul Knight" is very important, we cannot be careless at all.
The core gameplay of Roguelike games is randomness.
It can bring players a sense of novelty after each death.
What items can I get this time, what boss will I encounter, what skills does it have...
This anticipation for the future is the core of the game.
And this core is also the profit point of the game.
Can I play Soul Knight without spending any real money? Can I complete it?
Of course, there is no doubt about it.
But you will always get bored of the original levels, characters, skills, and professions.
At this time, you want to continue to experience that sense of freshness.
Of course you need to spend money!!
Unlike other mobile games, you don't need to spend money at each stage to experience the game content.
"Soul Knight" is like a DLC, with different ways of playing.
But you need to think carefully about the price.
From the player's perspective, Wang Chuan removed all the settings that required krypton gold to purchase the second skills of the professions in "Genshin Impact".
It has been changed to use in-game gold coins to unlock.
Of course, this kills two birds with one stone.
After all, the original version of "Genshin Impact" lacked development content, making it difficult for players to stay for a long time.
This method of allowing players to earn gold coins and unlock the second skill can be considered another form of development content.
After finalizing the game's profit model, Wang Chuan continued to perfect the framework.
Since Soul Knight is going to be free with in-app purchases, the retention rate of the game itself is very important.
It can even be said that the interests of the game are closely related to this.
Therefore, some development content should be added to "Genshin Impact".
The previous version of "Soul Knight" also adopted the same approach.
For example, character upgrades, equipment crafting, garden systems...
However, Wang Chuan couldn't add all of this content in at once.
After all, the success of the game lies in its ease of use. If he adds all of it at once, the threshold will be too high.
Although some development content needs to be added, that is when the number of players in the game itself reaches a certain level.
And if you are bored with the existing gameplay, then this is the best time to join.
Therefore, Wang Chuan decided to make all these development-oriented contents into DLC.
When needed in the future, we will update the new version with new content based on this.
In addition to these, there were some details that he was not sure about, but he did not use the memory searcher, but improved them himself.
After preparing all the work, Wang Chuan thought of Huang Shanshan.
Uh, these are the art resources brought by Huang Shanshan.
"This little girl~~"
Thinking of Huang Shanshan's escape just now, Wang Chuan couldn't help but smile.
Shaking his head, Wang Chuan opened the Pangu Editor and checked the art resources.
