Chapter 38 Let them catch up slowly
In the Internet age, the player community has a natural competitive tendency.
Even in a slow-paced turn-based online game.
Although, the main focus of turn-based online games is development and social interaction.
But what is development? It is to make your character grow, and the significance of character growth, not considering the partial satisfaction party, most people do it to make themselves complete more challenging PVE... and to make themselves win in PVP.
What is social interaction? Play games happily with friends. Lin Yao encourages team formation and increases the favorability system for this purpose.
But in addition to this reason, social interaction also means competition and comparison.
Where there are people, there will be competition and comparison.
This is inevitable. It's
a very simple truth.
You say it's for show or for yourself to gain satisfaction. In short, the more effort players put into character development and baby development, the more eager they will be to stand on the field and fight with others.
For example, the gameplay of gang material snatching... You think you may not be strong enough, so you choose to transport material tasks to get rewards.
Then what is the purpose of transporting materials and getting rewards?
Isn't it just to make your character grow?
This is back to the question.
What if.
Now Lin Yao has deleted the gang war, and will not update any PVP gameplay in the future.
Then the game will definitely be a failure in the end.
Because this is a turn-based online game.
PVE has its limits. As the game develops and the data expands, even the most challenging PVE will lose its original difficulty.
Even if you stack attributes on PVE monsters like crazy, players will always get tired of it. If players don’t get tired of it, Lin Yao won’t have so many new PVE gameplays.
But PVP is different, it has strong strategy and randomness.
When the opponent is not a mechanical AI, but a real person, everything will become interesting.
From the perspective of revenue, PVP is also the most stimulating point for players to spend.
Whether from the player level or from the company level, adding PVP gameplay at this time is a good thing, at least at the current stage.
Because "Fantasy OL" has been greatly changed and all attribute props have been deleted, non-paying players can also get good benefits in the game. Everyone is standing on a similar starting line. What the paying players can get, ordinary players can also get with hard work.
It’s just a matter of time.
This means that ordinary players are also interested in standing on the stage and fighting others.
Plus the fun of the activity, the players should be very motivated.
Of course.
If the online game keeps updating, the gap between new players and old players will be widened, so wide that it will be difficult to catch up with them with time and effort... unless they pay money.
At that time, adding new PVP will be a dead end, and most players will lose interest in it.
If some krypton gold pets with a starting price of 8,000 are added... PVP gameplay will probably become the home of krypton gold players.
But at that time, it will not only be a problem of PVP...
but a problem that will inevitably arise after years of operation of online games as a commodity. It is
not Lin Yao's turn to consider this kind of thing for the time being.
Let's do the things in front of us first.
The only thing she can guarantee is that when she is still the planner, she will try her best to ensure the benefits of non-krypton gold players in the game, so that all players are interested in fighting with others.
"... But can these two gameplays really be made in a short time?"
Lin Yao looked at the thousands of words of activity gameplay overview she wrote, stretched out her hand to support her cheek, and thought of a new problem.
Although it is determined to update these two activities.
But whether they can be made is a problem again.
Hard resources like art and programming can be piled up with money, but not so quickly.
The scale of the outsourcing party is limited.
Developing two new activities at the same time.
It's probably too much.
Besides.
The new version seems to have used up all the budget... I don't know if Miss Mu has asked for a new budget.
"Lin Yao."
"Huh? You're just in time, Miss Mu."
Lin Yao turned her head away. As soon as she mentioned the devil
, she came. She was about to ask about the budget when Mu Wanqing came.
"What's wrong?" Mu Wanqing came to Lin Yao with the information, gently pushed the legs of her glasses, and asked curiously.
"Money."
Lin Yao stretched out her hand to her.
"Ah?" Mu Wanqing was stunned.
Lin Yao explained: "Budget, I plan to update two new activities for the game, and I need your support, I really need it."
Mu Wanqing suddenly realized: "Budget... I just happened to tell you about this. The support from above has come. A batch of programs will be transferred to our department, and then the art department will give priority to completing the orders of our project, and the budget has also been supplemented."
"Is there anyone else?"
Lin Yao glanced at the screen in front of her and said, "Then we can speed up. I was thinking about whether to give up an activity first, but now it seems that it is not necessary."
"The activity was confirmed so quickly?"
Mu Wanqing held the information and looked at Lin Yao in surprise.
It was said yesterday that it would be updated every two weeks, and today the activity was confirmed.
The speed is too fast.
Lin Yao typed out the activity overview she had coded: "I typed it out, take a look."
"Okay, this is the program list, take a look at it too."
Mu Wanqing handed the information in her arms to Lin Yao, and went to the printer to get the activity overview.
Lin Yao lowered her head and glanced at the list.
Some of the names on the list given by Mu Wanqing were checked and some were crossed out.
Lin Yao had no impression of the names of the checked ones.
But she knew a few of the people who were crossed out.
These were the people who had run away with the bucket director before.
"Miss Mu is quite vindictive."
Lin Yao put down the information and smiled. She didn't think it was strange.
After a while.
Mu Wanqing came back.
She walked forward while looking down at the gameplay overview in her hand. Perhaps she was too engrossed in it and almost bumped into Lin Yao.
Lin Yao quickly stood up, held her shoulders, and said helplessly: "Miss Mu, please watch the road."
"I know."
Mu Wanqing came back to her senses and responded perfunctorily, then raised the printed paper with the smell of ink in her hand, and said: "Very interesting, Lin Yao, these two ways of playing are very interesting. It's really hard to imagine that you came up with this in one night. It's really amazing."
Lin Yao let go of her shoulders and said ambiguously: "It's not just one night, I had similar ideas before."
"That's also amazing."
"Well... let's not talk about this for now. Since you think it's feasible, let's prepare. I plan to launch two activities at the same time. Since the outsourcing party is more familiar with the game, we will hand over the Monkey King 3 to them, and the people we transferred from inside will be responsible for the competition for supplies."
"Two activities will be carried out together? Other aspects are fine, but the planning team has such a heavy workload. Are you okay?" Mu Wanqing was a little worried.
"I'm fine."
Lin Yao smiled: "Trust me, go online as soon as possible."
"...I understand."
Mu Wanqing pondered for a moment, nodded, and chose to believe Lin Yao: "Then I'll contact the outsourcing party right away."
"Okay."
Lin Yao handed the list back to her: "Also, take this information. You are the leader, why do you show it to me?"
Mu Wanqing took the list and shook her head gently: "I want to show it to you, and I also want to ask your opinion. I plan to make Zhong Xiu the team leader. What do you think?"
"Okay, Zhong Xiu is not incompetent. There are no problems with the new version this time. In addition to the reliability of the outsourcing party, it is also because he is a gatekeeper who is conscientious and responsible. He worked with us to make the new version at the most difficult time. We turned around and asked him to be an ordinary programmer. It would be too unfair to him. The same goes for Zhu Nianqiao."
"I understand."
Mu Wanqing thought about it and felt that this was right.
"Then I will start writing the plan. Is there anything else?" Lin Yao pulled out the chair and sat down again.
"Yes, what exactly is the 'development manager meeting' you mentioned yesterday? Do I need to do anything to prepare now? I always feel that this is a very bad thing..."
"You will know when the time comes." Lin Yao blinked, and a smile bloomed on her face, trying to get away with it.
Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao suspiciously, and then after a moment of silence, she said helplessly: "Okay, then I have one more thing to tell you. Do you know "Tianhu Journey"? "
"Uh... the big brother of the turn-based online game type?" Lin Yao thought about it and had some impression.
"Yes, they are also going to launch a similar gang system escort game." Mu Wanqing said with some concern.
Lin Yao was a little shocked: "So fast? How is the effect?"
It's copied too fast.
Mu Wanqing shook her head: "I don't know yet, it's not officially launched yet, but I do know why they are so anxious to launch the gang system. It seems that some players have come to our game."
"It's not online yet, that's okay."
Lin Yao breathed a sigh of relief, then pointed at her screen and smiled: "You don't have to worry too much Miss Mu. Anyway, their gang system will be released soon and our new activity will be launched. Let them catch up slowly..."
