God-level Game Designers Start From Scaring the Crying Anchor

What Ma Chengye said is true. Emperor Penguin Games has said that there are thousands of people from top to bottom. Just paying them salaries is a large expenditure every month.

Not to mention the scattered costs of rent, utilities, and internet.

So the purpose of Emperor Penguin's game is to first consider whether it can make money? How much can you earn?

As for whether it can bring a good game to players, it is just a matter of the way.

Looking at all the games of Emperor Penguin, many of them are online games and mobile phone games, and there are very few stand-alone games.

They would rather spend their money on acting as a proxy for popular foreign online games, rather than dig a little out of it and use it to develop new stand-alone games.

The reason is that in Emperor Penguin's view, the money earned by single-player games is really too little, and players will not incur follow-up expenditures after buying the game.

Some people may say that your family can sell DLC! But how much DLC can a single-player game sell?

If you sell too many DLCs, you will be accused by players of being too ugly.

Selling DLC ​​is equivalent to selling a car and giving a motorcycle. If you sell DLC, you first sell the body to the player, and then disassemble the wheels and sell them to the players one by one.

Compared with stand-alone games, online games are more favored by Emperor Penguin games. As long as players enter the pit, either in order to obtain a better game experience, or to compete with other players, they will continue to smash into the game. money.

If there are enough female players in the game, the players will spend more money.

However, online games are kept updated, and the version is updated every once in a while, which is normal for players.

And the version has been updated a lot, and players will also praise the Emperor Penguin game for being diligent, rather than being scolded like a stand-alone game.

But if you encounter a popular stand-alone game, Emperor Penguin will not miss it, such as this time "Plants vs. Zombies".

In the past, Emperor Penguin games thought that the stand-alone market was not profitable, and casual puzzle games were even more niche.

They participated in the competition just to refresh their sense of existence, and by the way, to see if they could get their own game designers to win a place, and earning a little is a little.

But the popularity of "Plants vs. Zombies" refreshed their understanding of the market of stand-alone games, especially casual puzzle games.

In their opinion, such a good popularity must take a wave, and developing a game of the same type at the fastest speed to grab the remaining cake has become the current focus of Emperor Penguin Games.

"Actually, it's not just us. As far as I know, many old friends have this plan. Tianpeng Games has already started production. We can't be left behind and miss this cake in vain." Ma Chengye added.

Xiao Meng also understands that "Plants vs. Zombies" shows everyone how attractive the market for casual puzzle games is.

Many game companies will never turn a blind eye, and they will definitely end one after another. The difference is only in the resources invested.

Although she is a five-star game designer, she can ignore Ma Chengye's words, but she can't stop Emperor Penguin from making money, much less prevent other game companies from trying to make money.

Cutting off a person's fortune is like killing a parent. If she has this idea and takes action, and eventually attracts a lot of big capital to encircle and suppress her, the future road is estimated to be very difficult.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Meng said: "To make a game of the same type, with our channels and resources from various aspects, we can indeed grab a big piece of cake.

But "Plants vs. Zombies" was the first to be released after all, and it stood out after participating in the competition. There is even a homepage recommendation of Misty Asgard. Even we can hardly shake its position. At most, we can only grab the second place. "

"Well. This is what I expected, but being able to grab the second position is enough for us to make a lot of money, so this thing can be done! It must be done!" Ma Chengye nodded and said.

One of his tasks is to analyze the market trend, find out the appropriate game type, discuss with the people in the R&D department, and finally make the game, seize the market and harvest players' wallets.

Therefore, when such a big piece of fat is placed in front of him, he has to go up and take a bite no matter what he says, otherwise he will be dereliction of duty, and it is very likely that he will be directly slapped by the higher-ups.

"Okay! Then come on."

"Xiaomeng! Are you interested in making this game?" Ma Chengye asked with a smile.

Xiao Meng shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, little brother, I still want to focus on shooting games. A casual puzzle game is not worth my shot."

Although Xiao Meng is interested in Xun Ze, she is also disdainful of making a game that follows the trend of "Plants vs. Zombies". She is proud of being a five-star game designer!

Ma Chengye also understands this. He just saw that Xiao Meng has been busy recently, so he asked one more question.

Of course, it is best for Xiao Meng to be willing to take action. Even if she doesn't want to, Ma Chengye feels it is a matter of course.

So he turned and asked, "Then do you have anyone to recommend?"

"Guo Si, he makes games by himself and makes a bad one, but he is a bit capable in learning from it. I guess he was a donkey in his last life! He can't walk without being led. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com" Xiao Meng said with a sneer.

Guo Si is a Samsung game designer of Emperor Penguin Games, and his reputation in the circle is mixed.

Because the games he developed by himself were very mediocre, but the games he borrowed from him were always able to play some new tricks.

There was even a feat of overturning the object of reference once.

Although there is a part of the reason for the Emperor Penguin game, the bigger reason is that his game is more fun than the reference object.

Players with high emotional intelligence gave him a nickname - Gusu Murongsi, which means that he is good at using the way of the other side, and he is also good at the other side.

But obviously, in Xiao Meng's view, Guo Si is still not a role in the stage.

When Ma Chengye heard this, he smiled helplessly, "Don't let him hear what you said."

"Humph! Even if I pointed at his nose, what would he dare?" Xiao Meng said indifferently.

Thinking that Guo Si is only a Samsung game designer, he really does not dare to do anything in front of Xiao Meng.

But with Guo Si's temperament, there are still some things like being petty.

So Ma Chengye decisively changed the subject and said, "Then I'll go find him! Do your own thing!"

Although Guo Si's reputation is not very good, black and red are also red. As long as it is Guo Si's game, there will definitely be a war of words among the players, which is conducive to the popularity.

In addition, Guo Si borrowed from "Plants vs. Zombies" this time, with double BUFF blessing, the sales will definitely not be less.

"Walk slowly, don't send it."

After Ma Chengye left the office, Xiao Meng picked up her mobile phone and dialed a number. After asking a few questions, Xiao Meng carried a small satchel that looked ordinary, but the price was six figures, and left Emperor Penguin. Game office building.
