Gu Yuqing nodded, and the chief planner continued:
"From an operational perspective, players need to have multiple characters in order to have enough means to solve various problems and play more comfortably, which in turn increases players' desire to draw cards."
Gu Zefeng asked: "How much can it be improved?"
This question stumped the chief planner. He opened his mouth but could not utter a word for a long time. Cai Zhenyi waved his hand, motioning him to hand the electric pen to him, and said:
"Let me tell you."
Cai Zhenyi, who had taken over the situation, crossed his legs, sat on the sofa, and continuously pressed the PPT button, finally stopping at a table full of data, and said calmly:
"I won't go into too much detail about the gameplay, I'll mainly talk about the revenue. As I mentioned earlier, we have a team of 400 people and plan a one-year development cycle. Regarding the benefits..."
Although Cai Zhenyi is a practitioner in the gaming industry, he is essentially more of a speculator.
He is not an expert in professional fields such as game play and design, and he is not interested in them. He is only interested in the revenue of the game.
How much is the investment, how much is the return, what is the rate of return, how long is the life cycle of the game... His focus is all on these aspects.
In short, he doesn't care about the game itself, he only cares about whether the game makes money.
Cai Zhenyi talked for a long time, and Gu Yuqing probably understood what he meant.
In Cai Zhenyi's game, there is a "temple" similar to the temple in "Tales from the Wild".
Players can team up to challenge the "Temple Boss" together to obtain exclusive weapons and skill fragments of the corresponding characters and develop their characters.
Each version will launch a new temple. In order to pass the temple, players must log in every day to increase their physical strength and climb the combat power.
Of course, spending money can improve your efficiency and help your team form faster.
In addition, the "shout" function in the game (the small loudspeaker for speaking in the world channel), guilds, fashions, etc. all require krypton gold.
After listening to it, Gu Yuqing had only one feeling: this is an online game version of "Legend of the Wild", which is filled with krypton gold points.
Like other games from Donghuang Seven Stars, it is also similar to online games from other major manufacturers.
Most of the domestic online games use this kind of gameplay: forcing players to log in every day to clear their stamina and complete dungeons, using social interaction to stabilize the player base, and introducing new krypton gold points in each version to lure players to spend.
After making a profit from the krypton gold points of the previous version, we will continue to develop the next version and iterate infinitely.
If old players gradually leave, launch a wave of activities, spend some promotional funds, and attract a group of new players.
Until finally, when most of the players have left and the operation can no longer continue, the server will be shut down and the team will be disbanded to start working on the next project.
This is the strategy that Donghuang Seven Stars used when they first started out, and it has always been effective.
The difference is that this time they are entering the "two-dimensional" field, and the market population they faced is completely different from before.
That’s why Cai Zhenyi said that the company’s decision this time was a risky one and they needed to see the returns as soon as possible.
This made Gu Yuqing think of Chen Ya. Compared with the playing style advocated by Donghuang Seven Stars, his concept of "paying for love" was more like pinning hope on the players' emotions.
From a player's perspective, Gu Yuqing certainly hopes that all games are developed by Chen Ya.
However, from an investor's perspective, Gu Yuqing felt that the Donghuang Seven Stars approach was more reliable.
Because the core concept of "paying for love" includes "you can play without paying", then from the player's perspective, since you can play without paying, why should you pay?
It is human nature to get something for free.
Gu Yuqing frowned, still worried, while Gu Zefeng and Cai Zhenyi were having a great time chatting happily.
When the two of them left the Perfect Studio, Gu Yuqing suddenly turned around and asked Cai Zhenyi, "Mr. Cai, I have one last question for you."
"Yuqing, just ask me, I will tell you everything I know." Cai Zhenyi said gently.
"What are your criteria for recruiting employees?"
Cai Zhenyi raised his eyebrows and said, "The most basic requirement is to be a Double First-Class graduate, and those with employment experience are preferred."
Gu Yuqing asked, "Are there no transfers from other gaming departments of Donghuang Seven Stars?"
"Of course there are." Cai Zhenyi patted the shoulder of the chief planner next to him and said, "For example, our planner Zhang transferred from the "Chaos" project team."
Gu Yuqing nodded and said nothing. Planner Zhang looked a little helpless, and it was unclear what was going on.
…
After Gu Yuqing finished dealing with the company's affairs, she turned around and went to Chen Ya and told him about the "enemy situation". After hearing the last sentence, Gu Yuqing asked the other party about the recruitment standards, and Chen Ya smiled.
"Why are you asking them this? Aren't they deliberately trying to spy on me?"
Gu Yuqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're the type who takes advantage and acts ungratefully. Wouldn't it be nice to have me act as a spy for you? And you're being so pretentious?"
"This isn't being pretentious. This is out of concern for you. I'm afraid you'll be exposed."
After Chen Ya finished speaking, Gu Yuqing asked seriously, "By the way, what are your recruitment criteria? I see that your new employees are all kinds of people."
Comparing what she had seen and heard at the Perfect Studio in her mind, she began to feel a little worried about Chen Ya.
"We have many recruitment criteria, but the most important one is that they love the two-dimensional world and are senior otakus," said Chen Ya.
After hearing this answer, Gu Yuqing was silent for a long time.
"...Then how did you know your employees like the anime?"
