Chapter 329: A project that can be harvested is a good project!
"Not sleepy anymore!"
Lu Ming immediately got up from the bed.
Standing in front of the window, looking at the sky that is gradually getting lighter at night, I feel refreshed and not sleepy at all!
"I need to quickly check out how the mainstream mobile games on the market are played."
Without saying anything, he picked up his phone, sat back on the bed, took out his phone,
The fingertips moved quickly.
"Best-selling this month", "most downloaded", "top ten most active users"...
Lu Ming clicked to download all the best-selling and most downloaded games this month.
This is not an experience, this is minesweeper!
Half an hour later, Lu Ming sat on the bed expressionlessly, his face full of disappointment.
"Gunfighting, pass!"
"This thing is too hardcore!"
"The dissuasion attribute is too low, it's not suitable for me."
"Not only are the technical requirements high, but it also requires the involvement of an artist, adjusting values, making gun models, adjusting operational feedback... every single step requires dedicated personnel to oversee."
"Leave it idle? No way either."
Lu Ming opened a game called "Sword Immortal Idle Liver Cultivation".
After playing for a while, the screen is full of light effects and equipment.
The numbers skyrocketed, the characters upgraded while standing still, and their skills were automatically released.
"That won't work either."
“Too Buddhist.”
Although this thing requires krypton,
But it is too suitable for retirement, and the players’ emotional fluctuations are obviously not enough!
Lu Ming continued swiping and found a puzzle game.
The UI is fresh, the music is elegant, the puzzle design is detailed and clever, and there is also a plot performance.
"Oh? This design... is quite clever."
"It even incorporates character dialogue, and even has multiple plot choices?"
"But it seems too immersive. If the levels are designed to be too interesting, the possibility of them going viral is too high!"
Lu Ming experienced it over and over again,
Demining again and again,
After a long time, he rubbed his forehead, got out of bed, walked barefoot to the coffee table, poured a glass of water, and drank it slowly.
"It seems we need to make a game that is anal, noisy, urgent, exciting, and unforgettable."
“It’s indeed a bit difficult!”
"It's not difficult to persuade players to quit, but it's a real skill to make them scold you and not leave."
He leaned against the sofa, supporting his head with one hand, lost in thought.
What type of game can arouse players’ dissatisfaction to the greatest extent?
What kind of mechanism is most likely to arouse people's emotions and make them want to continue playing?
After thinking for a while, Lu Ming's eyes suddenly lit up:
"That's right—draw a card!"
In an instant, an idea came to me.
At that moment, Lu Ming seemed to see a ray of light from the abyss.
"The card drawing game is a natural emotion harvester!"
“Before every ten-draw streak, there’s hope.”
"After every ten consecutive draws, I feel lost."
"Hope, disappointment, disappointment, and more disappointment."
"Hope and loss are piled up many times, emotions are pent up, and reason is unbalanced!"
"This is the only game where players draw all night and get nothing, then angrily delete the game and download it again the next day to continue drawing!"
"Because I always feel that the next ten-shot might be enough to ship it!"
"And the social system can amplify this illusion."
“Once others have shipped something, they take screenshots to show off.”
"I went in with 300 yuan and got nothing, and I was left gnashing my teeth."
"As long as your card pool is deep enough, the drop rate is low enough, and the development line is vicious enough, you can create eternal emotional conflict!"
"I know you're a scumbag, but I just want to see if I can pull off a lucky draw with these ten consecutive draws!"
"Seeing others ship their products, I also want to try to see if I am destined to be the lucky one!"
"If you can't draw, then come and curse! After you're done cursing, then draw! After you draw, then spend money!"
"Can advance and retreat, can argue and can win."
"This is the right way!"
“This is the most suitable game for me to develop right now!”
"What about tenderness, placement, retirement, and AFK...get out of my sight!"
After determining the type,
He immediately opened the rankings and clicked on several typical card-drawing mobile games to study them.
Lu Ming was stunned at once.
"These days, the plot isn't important; delivering the goods is what matters!"
"The character card pool is designed, and the game system can be customized."
"Just make the illustrations and models beautiful, and the rest depends entirely on cheating with numbers, strategic nesting, and operational manipulation."
He looked at a random card-drawing game with a "Chinese style war girl + mythology theme".
The art style is exquisite, and the character voices are sickeningly sweet.
A glance at the comments section:
[My wife is finally here! Woohoo, my wife is so cute!]
[I haven't gotten a five-star in 3,000 draws. Officials, give me an explanation!]
[Does this thing have a guaranteed win mechanism? ]
[Just don't care about balance at all? ]
[Oh my goodness, I got stabbed by the planner again! ]
[The European Emperor is here, please pay your respects! ]
Lu Ming nodded as he read, and the more he read, the more familiar he felt.
This game is really good!
"And... this mechanism is particularly good at nesting dolls."
"You can also add limited SSRs to the pool, which only appear in holiday events and are not guaranteed."
"The card pool switches frequently, the drop rate is unpredictable, my luck is as bad as ink, top-up fails, and there's a huge gap in combat power..."
"This is... a natural incubation pool that truly attracts resentment!"
"And the cultivation system can be set up in a step-by-step manner."
"For example, a certain SSR requires 50 fragments to synthesize, but a maximum of 2 fragments can be obtained in a ten-draw combo."
"After synthesis, you can upgrade the star, and after upgrading, you can awaken it. After awakening, you can awaken it +1 more."
"Keep nesting dolls!"
The corners of Lu Ming's mouth were crooked with smile.
“A project deserves to be praised only if it can reap several rounds of emotions!”
"And the more you spend, the more you lose, and the more you grind, the more empty you feel. But from time to time, they'll give you a little sweet treat, making you mistakenly think you're about to graduate."
"Then suddenly a new card pool comes out, and the card I was practicing before is directly beaten by the version."
“The money you spend today may be eliminated by the environment tomorrow.”
"Perfect."
Lu Ming muttered to himself while looking through various card-drawing mobile games for reference.
Then start recording the important mechanisms,
"First of all - the character portraits must be beautiful, and the modeling must be attractive."
"Then—the combat system needs to be complex, but the controls should be simple."
"Or, I don't want a combat system at all?"
"The most important thing is the card pool system. You have to max out your liver value."
"And then there have to be constant rare cards? Or precious rare cards in the early stages have to be constantly weakened later on!"
"It's okay, just a little backstab!"
"Some missions and stuff require exclusive cards to pass!"
"After the pumping, I have to work hard, after the work hard, I have to pump again, the work hard and the pumping are linked, full of negative emotions!"
"It's a repetitive cycle, and I'm completely exhausted. My emotions are completely on edge."
"Let you question your life while playing!"
Lu Ming studied for a while,
I feel like I have fully grasped the essence of this card drawing game!
He now wishes the meeting could start early tomorrow morning.
Then start the project directly!
Start with small projects, launch them online regularly to warm up the market, and then infer the popularity of the main game.
Fight guerrilla warfare on the mobile game and positional warfare on the main line, with two lines running in parallel and fighting in coordination!
One hand is epic, the other hand is mentally exhausting.
Advancing on two fronts simultaneously, this is the real preparation for both scenarios!
It's just that the type of game is there, but it's up to the people at Jingyue to make it.
I still have to think about it carefully!
After all, he couldn't just say, I want to make a card-drawing game that will drive players crazy!
The essence of the game must be to attract people!
Especially this kind of card game,
If your design is boring, who will draw the cards? Who will collect them?
Who will keep thinking about it?
It seems that the design of this kind of game is quite difficult!
"To put it bluntly, it still needs to be packaged."
Lu Ming put down the cup and took a deep breath:
"This time, I will definitely be prepared for both situations!"
"As long as this mobile game project is well developed, even if there's some backstabbing from the Ming Dynasty Decree, I'll have a way out."
