Chapter 137 Love consultant? Universal consultant!

Zhang Pengfei has led countless people astray.

Ever since he posted the message, many people have come to play the game "Love Adviser" with the intention of finding a partner through online dating.

In the end, nothing was gained! Until now, countless players have suddenly realized that their 68 yuan was not wasted, and at least they have made some like-minded friends who they regret not meeting earlier.

It's worth the 68 bucks!

If we launch a questionnaire survey and ask everyone whether they are willing to spend 68 yuan to meet one or more like-minded and highly compatible friends, there is a high probability that 99% of people will agree.

Finding a partner is secondary. Making friends, especially friends of the same kind, is the most important thing! After figuring this out, Love Adviser soon saw new changes.

Need someone to play with? Want someone to play with? What kind of person to play with? Wait for me to go to "Love Advisor" to find someone. The good buddies here are not only good at skills and have the right personality, but also free of charge, so we can develop long-term relationships in the future.

Technical exchange? Looking for an expert? What expert? Don't worry! Wait for me to go to "Love Advisor" to match, maybe I will match with a big boss in the same industry, then ask him, why bother? Ask netizens to recommend movies and animations? Haven't you heard the saying that honey to others may be poison to me? Others' tastes and preferences are different from yours. Just take a look at the recommendations of netizens, they may not be what you want!

But...

Go to "Love Advisor" and ask your friends. The movies and animations they recommend to you will most likely not be bad choices and will definitely be the genres and tastes you like.

Same principle.

Do you like reading and wonder what new books are good? Don’t ask people everywhere. Go to “Love Advisor” to match yourself and let the matched players recommend you. It may not be 100% accurate, but at least 7 or 8 out of 10 books will suit your taste.

"ah?!"

Chen Ba was stunned when he learned that the new business of "Love Adviser" had developed and the ones who ended up suffering were the bloggers and public accounts that recommended books, movies, TV shows and animations.

"What does it have to do with them?"

"Of course it does!"

Yang Dong explained: "They made a living from this, and now their jobs have been ruined by Love Adviser. Do you think it matters?"

The most difficult problem to solve for bloggers, self-media and public accounts is “it’s difficult to satisfy everyone”.

Take online novels as an example.

The subject matter and genres that you like may not be liked by him. What is honey to one may be poison to another. You may enjoy reading it, but others may find it poisonous.

But since "Love Advisor" was discovered and people can meet like-minded people in the game, who still looks at netizens' recommendations?

The players I matched with in the game were my "alternative selves" who were very compatible with me and had highly overlapping interests and hobbies. Aren't the recommendations they gave ten times more reliable than those of bloggers and public accounts? "Actually..."

Yang Dong couldn't help laughing and said, "These bloggers, UP hosts and public accounts that recommend books, movies, and animations are all okay. They are not big anyway."

“The ones who are really affected are actually the anchors who do live streaming to sell goods…”

Jimei, let me recommend you a lipstick that is absolutely good value for money!

Beauty, the snacks sold in our store are absolutely delicious, and they are perfect for staying up late to watch TV series!

These anchors who sell goods are all bold in what they say and believe what they say. Even if you end up buying a product you don't like or a scam, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.

But since I made a group of good friends on "Love Advisor", if I want to buy anything, I can just ask them.

Although their recommendations may fail, they are still more reliable than browsing e-commerce platforms and watching various live broadcasts selling goods, right?

“Good fellow!”

Chen Ba called him an expert. This strange use was really beyond his expectations.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense! Aren’t the players matched by Love Advisor the ones who are most compatible with you, who know you best, and who understand you the most? In this case, their recommendations and personal experiences are definitely more valuable as references than others.

It’s okay to buy things online, mainly novels, movies, animations and other products with strong “personalization”. If you listen to the advice of your friends in “Love Advisor”, the probability of falling into a trap is almost zero.

"Love Staff? Universal Staff!"

Xiao Lu smiled and said, "Just tell me whether our game has served as a consultant, and whether these players have given any suggestions!"

That was indeed a staff officer.

Not only can you provide ideas, you can even vote! Chen Ba saw a video.

A "Love Staff" player is planning to replace his graphics card and has roughly determined the budget range and model.

The 4080 has a lot of options.

Graphics cards produced by different manufacturers may have different differences, and after-sales service and other aspects must also be considered.

So the player went to the game "Love Advisor" and asked his "Love Advisor" to give him advice on which graphics card to buy. In the end, the seven advisors voted and passed the proposal with five votes. Zotac 4080 Apocalypse became the first choice! Even more amazing was another player.

In addition to playing "Love Staff", he is also playing another two-dimensional card drawing game at the same time.

Two new character UP pools have been released! He was hesitating which character to draw. One character was aesthetically pleasing, and the other was extremely powerful. With a limited wallet, he finally sought advice from a love consultant and drew an XP character.

The comment section was filled with laughter.

"Okay, okay! You call this a love consultant, right?"

"Love advisor? All-purpose advisor!"

"'Love Advisor' really makes it clear to you guys. When you are in doubt, you come to the love advisor, right?"

"I'm curious, before Brother Ba develops a new game, will he also seek advice from a relationship consultant?"

"I sold this game to you for 68 bucks. I'm really losing money!"

I have to say.

The players' creative ideas really opened Chen Ba's eyes. He probably never dreamed that the voting function of "Love Advisor" could be developed into such a strange use.

But he had to admit it.

Although this purpose was not the original intention of designing this game function, it is really useful!

Not only does it work, it's also very useful.

The love advisor initially provides advice to players and helps them conquer various positions set up by NPCs.

But after players misinterpreted the original intention of love advisors and developed strange uses for them, even Chen Ba recognized the abilities of these love advisors.

The people who know you best, the people who understand you most, the people who are most compatible with you...are the advice provided by these people really unreliable?

This is the score! Excluding a small number of extreme or special cases, in most application scenarios, the suggestions provided by these love consultants are reliable, and quite reliable.

For example, the player who draws characters in the two-dimensional mobile game, does he like long legs or strong beauty? Doesn’t he have any idea?

The love consultants all voted for the long legs, asking him to draw an XP character. Is this suggestion reliable? It's absolutely reliable! I can only say that the love consultants he matched with really understood what he wanted!

Strength is only temporary, if you weaken it, you won't be able to play anymore. But long legs are permanent, you won't regret it if you draw them! "Speaking of which, is this game really a dating game?"

Chen Ba was depressed.

When the game "Love Adviser" first revealed that players could capture other players and bring together a large number of couples, he didn't feel so bad.

After all, although it sounds a bit outrageous that players fall in love with other players, it does not deviate from the topic after all, and it is worthy of the word "love" in "Love Staff".

But what is the situation now? Does the current "Love Advisor" still have love elements? It would be more appropriate to remove the word "love", right?

"It's okay, Brother Ba!"

Seeing that Brother Ba was in a low mood, as if he had suffered some kind of blow, Xiao Lu quickly comforted him, "Although this is a bit off topic, but...but our game is selling well!"

"And this isn't the first time this has happened. You'll get used to it."

Xiao Lu's comfort not only failed to make Chen Ba feel happy, but made him feel even more uncomfortable.

What does it mean to get used to it?

Could it be that the subtext of Xiao Lu's words is that he has become accustomed to the games released by the studio, and that strange things always happen?

Wake up, Xiao Lu. Has your cognition been distorted by the Tiehanhan system and you fallen into a state of confusion?

Chen Ba turned his head and looked at Yang Dong, Zhong Shengwei and others.

broken!

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It seems that not only Xiao Lu, but everyone else has also had a distorted perception, thinking that it is completely normal for such things to happen in Tianba Studio.

"Am I the only one who is awake? Or am I actually the source of the distorted cognitive pollution?" Chen Ba was terrified when he thought about it.

…

Regardless of whether Chen Bale is willing to accept it or not, the reality is that "Love Staff" has nothing to do with "love".

Oh no! There is still a love element, at least there are players who have successfully passed this game and found their ideal partner.

So the name of the game Love Adviser is accurate.

"Love" means that players can use this game to conquer other players and find their true love.

"General Staff" means that players can use this game to match the most suitable general staff for themselves, let them give them advice and solve various problems encountered in life...

So, the question is , what is the purpose of the "pseudo open world" and NPC generation that they have carefully designed and spent a lot of energy and time to create?

"Don't be shy, it works great!"

Yang Dong said seriously: "If there were no game maps and NPCs, would the game file of Love Staff be 15G?"

Chen Ba: “…”

What he said made so much sense that he couldn't think of any reason to refute it.

Although the large open world map they created and the random NPC generation in a pigeon-style manner are rarely experienced and played by players seriously, the content that needs to be updated still needs to be updated.

What else can they do? Playing badly all day long, while the top student puts peanuts and sunflower seeds on the table, crosses his legs and watches TV series and anime? It's simply outrageous!

There is only one idle person in Tianba Studio, and that is Brother Ba. Apart from Brother Ba, everyone else cannot be idle and must find something to do.

Game updates are inevitable.

Not only "Love Staff" will be updated, but the old game "Garbage Match" will also be updated to add the latest krypton gold items.

As a match-3 mobile game, the in-game purchase items of "Garbage Match" are very simple. You can only recharge diamonds and then spend diamonds to draw characters.

This time they plan to make a monthly card.

Not only Candy Crush Saga, the free online game "Star Emperor" also plans to add two new krypton gold items: monthly card and "battle order".

Monthly card is nothing...

The main problem is the battle pass/pass. Players are generally unwilling to accept it and think it is too labor-intensive.

"Then don't be liver!"

Chen Ba does all this just to make money, he doesn't care about the daily activity of the game.

If players generally feel that the pass is too laborious and time-consuming to obtain, then the threshold can be lowered so that players can complete the pass by playing a few games.

Chen Ba explained: "The purpose of making passes is to make money, and the purpose is also for the GAL prize pool!"

The main purpose is to make money.

But his greed is not that ugly. Anyway, the main profit of "Star Emperor" depends on Xianyu Digital, and in-app purchases are optional.

The purpose of making this pass is really for the GAL League.

Because the majority of "Star Emperor" players generally pay more attention to the GAL League, they are very enthusiastic about watching the games and are quite concerned about the games.

So he plans to increase the sense of participation, and 50% of the pass revenue will become the championship reward for the GAL League.

“How much can it be sold for?”

Yang Dong felt that this pass would not sell many copies, and Brother Ba was definitely overthinking if he expected this to increase the prize pool amount.

And why should we be so obsessed with the prize pool? If the champion gets one dollar, will these teams not participate?

"This is for the healthy and sustainable development of the league. We can't keep paying for it, right? If it goes on for a long time, some teams will definitely be unhappy."

Chen Ba explained: "The high prize money can at least guarantee the survival of the winning team, and it can also make the participating teams and players more motivated."

In order to increase the prize pool, he also plans to talk to manufacturers such as Nvidia, AMD, and Intel to jointly develop a standard.

What is the standard? The "GAL" related accessories sold by these manufacturers, including memory sticks, graphics cards, CPUs and hard drives, etc., all GAL joint brands need to contribute about $1 in bonuses.

$1 is not much.

But these big manufacturers, especially those involved in so many hardware categories, have high annual shipments.

If an agreement is reached, the prize money for next year's GAL League champion may exceed tens of millions of dollars, or even tens of millions of dollars! To put it bluntly, it's a bit like a bet.

A portion of the profit from the GAL co-branded hardware will be put into the prize pool. If you win the championship, not only can you get it back, you can even make a fortune.

If we fail to win the championship, we will only be making things difficult for our competitors.

This is even more fierce than the stock price war! After all, although the money is not much, it all comes from various hardware manufacturers. If you win the championship, it means that other manufacturers will provide you with supplies.

Although the money is not much, it means a lot!

AMD won the championship, and the prize pool included $2 million contributed by Nvidia. Is $2 million a lot?

not much!

But this money comes from Huang, so the nature of the matter is completely different for AMD.
