Chapter 70 Deep Blue Independent Game Competition!
At the same time, Lu Ming was lying on the sofa.
While eating melon seeds, he stared at the ceiling in a daze.
"Zhou Yizhou is a man who never disappoints."
"It would be even more perfect if there were more endings, hallucinations, confusion, and philosophical dialogues!"
"I'm really looking forward to his work. A philosophical shooting game? Hehe!"
Lu Ming thought about it and felt that it had great potential!
Now, the development of "Time Journey" is basically finalized, and 60 million yuan of investment has been invested.
Zhou Yizhou, a talented person, has successfully gone astray, so there is no need to worry about him in the short term.
When the content comes out, I will check it myself and there should be no problem.
But the problem is that there is still about 20 million left in the company's account.
It's not his style to leave money unused.
"Money is not something you save."
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes.
"It's for tossing around."
In terms of personal material satisfaction, Lu Ming doesn't have many requirements.
It's time to come up with something new.
Lu Ming thought about it and suddenly thought of a long-lost existence, the Deep Blue Game Platform.
I originally built this gaming platform just to spend money and launch "氪命修仙", and I haven't had time to develop the platform's subsequent grand blueprint!
To be honest, he hasn't managed the platform for a long time.
But now thinking back, isn’t Deep Blue just a ready-made tool?
If you want to expand the influence of the game, you have to give it a stage to show it.
Thinking of this, Lu Ming called Chen Hao in.
Soon, Chen Hao came to the office.
"Mr. Lu? You're looking for me!"
Chen Hao entered the office, feeling a little excited.
I have been in the company for so long, and everyone in other departments is doing very well.
Even "Krypton Life Cultivation" is about to develop,
He was the only one who led the team to maintain the Deep Blue platform, but he didn't have any specific projects.
He felt that his presence in Jingyue was getting smaller and smaller, and he had long wanted to talk to Mr. Lu about the future development of the platform.
Now, the chance has finally come!
"What about the data on Deep Blue?"
"Mr. Lu, to be honest, there are indeed a few games that have been added recently."
"few?"
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows.
"How many?"
"Let's put it this way, the number of new developers we added this month is not as many as the number of players who blocked the door last time."
“…”
Lu Ming was silent for two seconds and directly checked Shenlan's background data.
Currently, there are 73 developers on the DeepBlue platform.
Number of games currently on sale: 14
New games added in the last month: 3
My goodness, these statistics are shocking.
Such a big platform, but there are only three games in total. What's the difference between this and having only three fish in a huge reservoir? This is a scam!
“It’s a bit less indeed.”
Lu Ming touched his chin.
"Looks like it's time to do something about Deep Blue."
"How do we do this?"
"It's very simple." Lu Ming smiled slightly.
"Hold an independent games conference!"
"Independent Games Conference?"
Hearing this word, Chen Hao immediately sat up straight.
"Yes." Lu Ming said lightly.
"Let's organize a competition with generous rewards so that independent game developers can participate."
"The top ten finalists will receive rewards!"
"Anyone who registers for this competition can join DeepBlue for free. We won't need to share any profits after the game goes online!"
Hearing this, Chen Hao's eyes suddenly lit up.
"...Mr. Lu, your conditions are simply free benefits!"
You know, there is no platform on the market that is so generous.
Generally, when a game is put on the shelves, the platform will take at least 30% of the commission, while the platforms of large companies can even reach 50%!
But Mr. Lu actually waived the commission and even offered rewards?
Didn’t they say before that they would charge 1%?
"Of course I will."
Lu Ming said as if it was a matter of course.
"If I don't send you off, who will come?"
Lu Ming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
It's still the same way of playing the game,
First attract traffic, then lure people in and kill them!
The amount of traffic that the platform can radiate is no less than that of the game!
If you don’t get any criticism for playing games, maybe you can get good results by switching to my platform!
On the opposite side, Chen Hao's eyes lit up and he immediately understood what Lu Ming meant.
"Okay, Mr. Lu, then what exactly should we do?"
Lu Ming flicked the melon seed shell:
"Keep the rules simple and just do it."
"First, the registration threshold!"
"Anyone can sign up, whether you're an individual developer, a small team, or even a group of students. As long as you dare to sign up, we'll let you participate!"
“Second, there’s no limit on the type of game!”
"Whether it's single-player, multiplayer, casual, hardcore, 2D, 3D, text adventure... as long as it's playable, we'll take it all!"
"Third, the reward mechanism!"
"Each of the top ten teams will receive a bonus!"
"One champion, 2 million yuan in prize money, and three months of recommendation on DeepBlue's homepage!"
"Three runners-up, each with a prize of 1 million yuan and featured on the homepage for two months!"
"Third place winners, 5 winners, 500,000 yuan in prize money, and featured on the homepage for one month!"
"4th to 10th place, 300,000 each!"
"Also, for all contestants, as long as the game is successfully launched, we won't charge a single cent for commission!"
"Let the developers take all the money they deserve!"
"Registration ends on September 1st!"
Chen Hao's heart beat faster when he heard this.
Organizing a competition is one thing, but actually spending the money is another!
"Boss Lu, you're really going to spend a lot of money..."
"nonsense!"
Lu Ming waved his hand:
"This time, we're going to let all independent game developers see that our Deep Blue Game Platform also pays out real money!"
“The big platforms on the market take commissions that are even more brutal than the capitalists, so newcomers can’t even survive.
I want everyone to know that if they come to Deep Blue, they can survive! And they can live well! "
Chen Hao was very excited. His department was finally able to stand up and the big job was finally coming!
"...Mr. Lu, if we want to play this way, we need to prepare a budget of at least... several million, right?"
"right."
Lu Ming said calmly,
"I plan to invest 10 million directly. It's money well spent."
Chen Hao's eyes lit up.
"Mr. Lu, we won't make any profit if we do this... Are you sure?"
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows.
"Mouse, do you think this is a loss?"
"no……"
Chen Hao swallowed his saliva.
"I think this amount of money...isn't it a bit too generous and too urgent?"
"So what do independent game developers lack the most nowadays?" Lu Ming asked.
“Lack of exposure, lack of funding, lack of opportunities.”
Chen Hao answered without hesitation.
"That's right."
Lu Ming leaned on the sofa and said slowly,
"This time, the 10 million is not spent, but invested."
"Deep Blue has no traffic right now. This game is just an advertisement."
“With more participants and more people discussing it, the popularity has increased.”
"In the end, even if we really lose 10 million... as long as we build up Deep Blue's reputation, future developers will come to us on their own initiative."
"Go ahead and do it. Let's finalize the contestants as soon as possible. We'll officially start the judging in September!"
Chen Hao was a little dazed when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
Although he didn't understand operations, he knew that what Lu Ming said was right.
In this era, everyone is exchanging money for traffic!
Even this 10 million can only be a small investment in the early stage.
But, Lu Ming, that’s all!
