Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

In Nebula Game's office, Chen Xu was leaning on the sofa and chatting with Meng Zuo through video.

"Mr. Chen, the game department gave "Rainbow Six: Siege" a very high evaluation!" Meng Zuo said with a smile.

The media score is neither very high nor low.

But in addition to players, the game department's "Rainbow Six: Siege" also received high praise.

The main reason is that the characteristics of "Rainbow Six: Siege" are too distinctive.

From the perspective of training, the army version of "Rainbow Six: Siege" is actually more of a kind of training ideology.

For example, team cooperation, timely reporting of various information and feedback.

When it comes to actual combat, it must not be based on the content in VR.

But even so, compared to other games, even the army version offered in previous years, Rainbow Six: Siege performed quite well.

"How about the follow-up version, NetDragon's preparation?" Chen Xu smiled and did not answer this, but asked.

"The rank system has been completed. There is a big gap between the current ordinary player group and the high-end player group. It will be launched after the new year." Meng Zuo said.

During this time, he was also a little proud.

Participated in the project of "Rainbow Six: Siege", and it was a great success, and Chen Xu did not know about it.

As an employee of NetDragon, Meng Zuo has a lot of information channels.

As far as Tenghua and the channel alliance are concerned, the new work that has been being promoted before has no sound at this moment.

Ordinary players don't know yet, but according to some information within NetDragon, there is a big possibility that it has already been cut in half.

After all, Rainbow Six: Siege's performance can be said to be too good.

In this case, it is difficult for both the market and the game department to overwhelm “Rainbow Six: Siege”.

Immediately cancel the project to stop loss, which is a more rational behavior.

And this also caused a lot of excitement inside NetDragon.

Including Meng Zuo, who supports the cooperation between NetDragon and Nebula Games, has also been promoted and raised.

And now it is considered to have entered the management of NetDragon, and it also has a certain right to speak.

After chatting with Meng Zuo for a while, Chen Xu hung up the phone.

The PC version of the follow-up "Rainbow Six: Siege" was transplanted and developed by NetDragon.

Based on the VR version, some details of the action may be cut, as well as the expressiveness of the screen.

However, the main content is not much different from the VR version.

At the same time, cross-platform matchmaking will also be added to the game.

After all, the VR version is a little different from the PC version.

To be honest, in fact, the VR version in the parallel world is more controllable than the PC version.

Because it brings a stronger sense of immersion and immersion, and it is actually difficult to shoot in real life.

But VR is still a game after all, so compared to the PC platform, using the mouse and moving to aim.

Generally speaking, games on VR use line-of-sight capture, combined with aiming correction.

Therefore, it is necessary to enable this cross-platform matchmaking to allow players to make free choices.

Next, there is nothing on the project.

Because the Spring Festival is approaching.

It is mainly aimed at the platform and the games that are in operation, and take the opportunity to launch some activities.

If you launch an event, it is nothing more than three aspects, one is to increase the popularity of the game, the other is to generate revenue, and the other is to appease players.

Sometimes even if you don't want to rely on any holiday event to gain popularity and revenue, you have to start an event.

Because you don't start an event, it's the players who rebel.

People's games are active! Why don't you open it! ?

Why do you say that people's game activities are to deceive Krypton players?

Then we are willing to be deceived by beautiful skin and fashion!

You launch a swimsuit Auntie IQ skin, see if we will buy it!

Hmm... not right, after all, this style of painting is too conflicting with the background of the game.

Forget the swimsuit! You come with a fan-fun two-dimensional gun, you can see if we will buy it!

For many players, sometimes a game that continues to operate, especially one with in-app purchases.

During the festivals, without such a momentary activity, the players simply feel uncomfortable!

But for Chen Xu, there is really nothing to do.

Because there are quite a lot of games operated by Nebula Games at present.

Including the "Naughty Kitchen" of that year, it has been operating steadily.

Although the daily maximum number of concurrent users is only about 10,000.

But after all, it will still be in stable operation, but there will be no official content.

It relies more on the community of creative workshop players and the official opinions on players to conduct some audits and open them.

At present, the only ones that can really operate are "Three Kingdoms Kill" and "Jelly Bean", as well as the just-launched "Rainbow Six"

However, although there is not much that can work in this part of the game content.

But the biggest content of Nebula Games at present is not the game but the platform!

"Just follow this model. The game makers will participate in the event voluntarily, and explain the pros and cons to them." Chen Xu looked at Zhang Yida and nodded.

This year is also the first big promotion of Nebula Games.

Last year, the Nebula game platform was just established. Due to the number of games, Chen Xu did not adopt a big promotion model.

More rely on its own platform to continuously launch new works.

Now the situation is different. NetDragon has reached a strategic cooperation with Nebula Games.

This game library has been enriched immediately. As for the promotion, Chen Xu has communicated with NetDragon in advance.

NetDragon has no opinion and cooperates quite well.

Chen Xu guessed that this is obviously the performance of "Rainbow Six: Siege" to feed NetDragon.

At the same time, "Rainbow Six: Siege" is not a one-time deal.

Follow-up gun skins, etc., this is also a very important income point.

The rest is the communication between the major manufacturers.

"But Mr. Chen, is this discount a bit big? Many manufacturers are also worried about this." Zhang Yida asked.

"What's there to worry about? Digital games are not physical goods. Players will buy them as soon as they can sell beyond the upper limit, and the games on sale are basically the games "Monster Hunter: World" that have been online for more than a year. Isn't it because "Warcraft" is not in it?" Chen Xu said.

Zhang Yida nodded, and then discussed this platform activity with Chen Xu again.

Some classic games, as well as some well-known but niche games, will be added to this New Year's special.

No one can resist the temptation of -50% and higher small green bars, that is the last straw that broke the camel's back.

That's the sinful little hand that reaches out to the player's wallet.

When seeing the small green bar, a man's smile involuntarily appeared in the player's brain.

As if under some control, the players took the initiative to hand over their wallets.

Except for the small green bar that I like to hear.

The rest is the arrangement of some company activities.

After all, Nebula Games has a lot of employees.

It was arranged in a five-star hotel and invited a professional performance team.

As for the year-end bonus, various departments have already finished sending them out.

At that time, every employee who participates in the annual meeting will have a unified 5888 red envelope regardless of their position, and the annual meeting prizes are basically closely related to the game.

Such as custom-made themed computers, mobile phones, VR game warehouses, etc.

As for the employees, no matter what department they are, they are very happy and immersed in this joyful atmosphere.

However, Chen Xu's words must be happy, but this is more of a passing ceremony, and the main thing is the research and development plan for the coming year.
