Chapter 333: Four dynasties have come into being, and the world is sleepless!
After listening to this, Zhou Bowen tried to calm down and continued his assessment with professional rationality:
"Mr. Lu, if that's the case, then this game...isn't it a bit difficult to play?"
He really wasn't pouring cold water on me.
But tell the truth.
"Drawing cards is a grind-intensive process, the strength of the cards is unknown, the system is complex, the pace is slow, and the narrative is high."
"Isn't this what players call the 'high threshold + low feedback + slow pace' trifecta?"
"Plus, they don't sell strong cards, the drop rate is 0.6%, and you can't recharge your hereditary points..."
“This is so unfriendly to the players!”
"Um, Mr. Lu, I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying it's too thick."
"It's not like other card-drawing games where you can have fun in dozens of minutes and understand it in five minutes."
"Our pace is to operate from one generation to the next."
“Once this rhythm is interrupted, we are likely to lose players.”
After listening to this, Lu Ming
Today’s blog post looks at the problem very thoroughly!
Is this from eating inspiration mushrooms?
Fortunately, he was prepared!
"You're right."
“This game is really hard to play.”
"It's not a mass-market product. It might not even be suitable for most players who are used to 'understanding the rules in three minutes and getting an SSR in ten minutes.'"
“But it will have its user base.”
"Besides, just because it's difficult to play doesn't mean it's impossible to play."
"Card games nowadays, the only things players can understand are routines."
“You have to be extraordinary to stand out.”
"The project 'Song Pulse Thousand Lamps' is not about letting players experience a relaxing game, but about letting them experience the heavy burden of supporting their family bit by bit under the weight of history."
"Also, now that everyone is here, let me emphasize this!"
"As a gaming company, we must learn how to paint a rosy picture for players!"
Lu Ming spoke in a serious tone, and made a pancake-shaped gesture with his right hand.
"We at Whale Leap don't have this tradition!"
“But mobile games are different!”
"These days, if a game doesn't have a long-term vision, a turning point, or future breakthroughs, players will leave on the first day."
"So, our game must allow players to experience, feel, and be compelled to talk about it..."
"The mechanism, the next one will definitely come out, the next time, definitely, change the location, luck, feng shui, none of it is easy..."
"In this way, we have succeeded!"
“…”
"Then, let's see how you can solidify this cake bit by bit."
"'Song Pulse Thousand Lamps' officially starts its project today."
"The project team, with Bowen in the lead, will come up with a rough plan today."
"Programming, art, copywriting, numerical, system coordination, all related teams, prioritize allocation from existing resources."
"Regarding time control, just follow my previous instructions!"
"As far as budget is concerned, the cost of this kind of mobile game shouldn't be too high, probably only tens of millions!"
"You guys could improve the art style and stuff!"
"clear!"
"receive!"
“I want to draw the genealogy page!”
"I'll write the side quest settings!"
There were waves of responses.
Inside Jingyue Game Company, a project called "Songmai Qiandeng" is being developed in this conference room.
The first lamp was lit.
Everyone left one after another.
Lu Ming looked at Zhou Bowen, the last one to leave, and seemed to remember something.
"Bowen!"
Zhou Bowen was about to step out of the conference room when he heard the voice and turned to look at Lu Ming.
"Hmm? Mr. Lu, do you have any other instructions?"
Lu Ming held the teacup, took a sip, and then said slowly:
"Come here, I want to talk to you alone."
Zhou Bowen's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, when he approached, Lu Ming put down the teacup, looked him straight in the eyes, and said word by word:
"Bowen, I've already set up the entire framework for this game. It's the survival history of a family!"
"Our game is about drawing family trees, managing a hundred years of life, and resisting all kinds of random disasters. It's not about finding a partner."
"You understand me, don't you?"
"Don't try to sneak in some 'childhood option' or 'interactive system' this time..."
Zhou Bowen nodded confidently:
"Mr. Lu! Don't worry! I swear! This time I definitely won't have the same thoughts as before!"
"My head is already spinning just calculating the card pool probability and the logic of hereditary points. Who would dare to think about a love line?"
"The setting of this game is very serious. It focuses on a legacy, but there's no hand-holding!"
"I'm sure I won't go astray!"
"good."
Lu Ming smiled and looked away.
"With your words, I feel relieved."
…
Time goes by day by day,
The project team of "Song Mai Qian Deng" has already officially started operation.
Jingyue's internal project team quickly completed the reorganization, veterans returned to their positions, and newcomers began training.
But behind this reconstruction rhythm, Jingyue’s other main products are also not idle.
For example: Starship.
In just two months, the order schedule was directly postponed to May or June of next year.
The most common phrase used by pre-sales customer service is:
"Dear user, we estimate that delivery will be in about three months. Are you sure you still want to place the order?"
The user feedback is more direct:
"Buy it! The boss has given the order!"
"If I can't buy this batch, I'll have to go to a second-hand platform and buy it at a higher price!"
"Can you please use the VIP channel?"
As for the Star Fin, it's even more outrageous.
The year-end off-season, which was originally expected to be a slow season, turned out to be a hot sales period for Star Fin.
There was a big argument online, with many people even lining up in the comment section to call for purchase restrictions.
"Can you please limit the purchase? It's so hard to get one!"
"Can you give me advance notice when you're releasing the next batch? I've already set the alarm!"
"I can't get it, I suggest real-name registration!"
"I suggest you produce another set of projectors to accompany the Chinese language teaching materials. I'll send them directly to the family group."
The brand popularity of whale watching continues to rise.
Before the Spring Festival, the supply of the production line was already completely tight, and even the earliest OEM factories began to complain.
While everyone was still immersed in the joy of receiving orders from the "Projection Duo",
Jingyue also quietly accomplished a major task: acquiring land.
The first phase of the factory was located in an industrial highland on the outskirts of Shanghai.
It is close to the logistics hub and has convenient transportation, and it can also receive policy support for high-tech projects.
This means that Jingyue has finally made the transition from "assembly and OEM" to "self-production system".
The first phase of the factory building on the construction site has been piled up and the excavators are working day and night.
…
On the fifteenth day of the winter month, Beiming Game’s official Weibo account officially released the first trailer at 19:00.
There is only one sentence on the cover of the video.
"After the four dynasties came out, the world was sleepless."
When I clicked on the video, the screen went black for one second.
Then, there was the sound of the earth cracking, and in the distance the golden imperial flag fluttered in the strong wind.
The narrator speaks in a low voice:
"In the 23rd year of the Wanli reign, a severe drought struck the entire country. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory tore through the heavens, and the sacred armillary sphere brought natural disasters upon the world..."
The camera suddenly moved up.
A huge armillary sphere that rotates, vibrates, and flashes with blue light is suspended above the ancient city, like a crack in the eye of the sky.
Suddenly, four space-time cracks exploded in the air.
Four versions of the Ming Dynasty map unfold at the same time!
Four factions! Four civilizations!
Gunpowder steam, whalebone fleets, flesh and blood mechas, and oracles of faith!
Long shots of war, distant views of the camps, clashes of arms, heroes’ oaths…
"The emperor holds a gun and drives a cannon across the river!"
"A whale boat breaks the waves, and a city rises in the South China Sea!"
"The flesh and blood of the chimera are the furnace!"
"Spiritual enlightenment is here, divine oracle is the law!"
Between light and shadow, four completely different Ming civilizations slowly emerged.
Gunpowder, whale bones, flesh and blood, oracles.
The four parallel Ming dynasties erode, intersect, and distort each other.
There are no unnecessary operation demonstrations in the video, only battle scenes and close-ups of civilization.
The whale-ship floats on the sea, puffing out steam,
Eight-foot heavy artillery knocked down tall buildings, and steam corps charged in formation.
Believers burn themselves in front of the statue to awaken the oracle,
The flesh-and-blood cyborgs emerged from the spores with wild laughter, dragging behind them human spines and steel bones...
At the end of the trailer, the screen goes black.
There was a whisper, like an imperial decree, but also like a spell—
"Once the imperial edict was issued, all directions were in turmoil."
Next, the most shocking LOGO picture in the trailer:
Four streams of light crossed each other and came down, making the golden characters of "The Great Ming Edict: Crisis of the Universe" clang loudly.
A row of small words immediately lit up:
Beiming Studio's latest RTS project
