Number One Game Designer

For Fang Xi, guided by public opinion and deciphering the plot is not an unusual way to bury the burden, but it still achieved unexpected results in this world.

For example, Hongyi's non-staff staff: Pimblogger has been very happy recently.

First of all, the biggest good news for him is undoubtedly that Hongyi's game platform in North America is officially settled. Su Luo's Xuanniao studio immediately stated that it will directly launch the official version of the game "Killing Planet". The update of the version is coming. It is said to be the latest version in the world, and this platform version also adds the function of network connection, as long as you have a player's friend, then you can join his battle. Of course, you can also join an unfamiliar player's battle through random search, and send a friend request to the opponent after the end.

As for the price, Fang Xi’s opinion at the time was that it was free, but he was protested by Su Luo. Su Luo believes that for any good game, free is a decision that requires careful consideration. Fang Xi respects Su Luo’s opinion. The final price is 9.99 dollars, and then in order to celebrate the launch of the official version in North America, the first week discount is opened, and the game can be added to your library for only 0.99 US dollars. For this price, Fang Xi thought about it or proceeded. In order to improve it, the concept of the Friends Play Pack was proposed. In addition to the first week’s unit price of $0.99, a 4-person team pack priced at $3.14 was also added. After the player purchases this pack, it contains four copies of the game. The activation code can be played by yourself or given to a friend. It’s okay to even hang it on the online seller. Anyway, it’s your own leek...Ah no, player, is there a difference as to how the player got in?

To this, overseas players naturally call for long live. For them, an excellent game, sincere, genuine, continuously updated, and can be played with friends through the Internet, and the price is less than 1 US dollar. Rounding up is free! The first group of Hongyi fans was born.

These are good, but for Pim, there are other aspects that need to be paid attention to. Now that I have taken Hongyi’s salary, I naturally want to do things for Hongyi. Now the topic of "Killing Planet" in North America has been rising, so Su Luo assigned him the first task to transfer this heat to the portal and the road to survival. Give me a guide.

So Pim honestly started to learn Chinese, and under the condition of requesting a translator, he started to make the first video about the background of Killing Planet.

What? Where do you say Slaughter Planet comes from? Of course, the earliest game has no background. The 64KB version is a social security game. However, with the launch of the online version other than the limit version of 64KB, this initial small game has become more and more complete. In the latest version In the update, Fang Xi even buried an Easter egg directly in the teaching level of the game.

The social security game of Killing Planet North America is now basically played by old players. The operation is familiar. Basically no one has clicked the teaching function. Pim also found it under Suluo’s pick point. After the teaching level is over, he will There is a form similar to congratulations on graduation, in which the name of the person who issued the certificate to the player has also appeared in the portal.

However, in general, Killing Planet is actually a game that does not require a background, so Fang Xi buried three easter eggs secretly, and I won’t talk about the others, because I haven’t figured it out yet, let the players guess for themselves. , If they can guess a self-consistent explanation, then they will use this explanation as the background and tell them: Wow, you are great, and the clues buried so deep have been found by you, invincible!

So the players are satisfied, Fang Xi is satisfied, the best of both worlds, it's cool to think about it.

Of course, the above is just a level to think about now, because Pim's first video to guide the popularity has not been released yet.

What's interesting is that under the hot sales in North America, Fang Xi and Liu Hai quietly circulated the tutorial on how to change the national area of ​​the Honghu platform to the North American area before the national service. It finally came in handy. There are many portals and survival paths. The players covered have downloaded the Honghu platform under this tutorial, and the number of Hongyi players has grown again, and the boss Fang is laughing at home.

In fact, Fang Xi suggested that the four-person bag sold by Su Luo in North America was also prepared for this, because the game platform itself involves various troublesome payment methods. It is difficult for domestic players to buy games even if the zone changes in the past, but With this four-person bag, a large number of CDKs were born. In this case, domestic players only need to buy a CDK from various channels. As for Fang Xi, who was deceived in the process, he really couldn’t help... After all, the district has an agreement with Yinling, and Fang Xi has constraints in doing many things, which is not very convenient.

And thinking of this, Fang Xi couldn't help but urge Lu Tao again. The more he was troubled by Yinling now, the more upset he looked at Yinling, and Lu Tao's answer was always faster, and the information was being collected.

Although it is at odds with Hongyi, the financial report of Yinling last year was not ugly. It can even be said that Yinling ranks among the top companies in terms of earnings alone.

The most important thing is to step on the footsteps of Hongyi, relying on Yinling's strong talent pool, basically maintaining the frequency of having a page game online every month, although the flow of each style is not so explosive, but this flow of water Multiplying by twelve is pretty scary...

This has also led to the rapid decline in the industry’s evaluation of Ren Xiang. The most important thing for a game designer is the ability to tap the gameplay. The previous Ren Xiang may be considered popular and one of the more interesting young designers, but After a year of continuous web games, the fans have basically lost. The real core players of web games don’t care who the designer is. For them, as long as the game can pass the time, the recharge is cheaper than Hongyi, and it is also a pervert that is not in the legend of Hongyi. Equipment, these are enough, as for Ren Xiang? do not know.

However, Ren Xiang himself had a hard time to tell. He wanted to die Fang Xi directly, but Fang Xi was doing a sharp turn to engage in the game, and he was still well-known abroad, so Ren Xiang Pidian went to the senior level of Yinling: I also want to do a side tour.

But Yinling ruthlessly rejected him: Ren Xiang’s web games are now a stable growth point for the company, so they will definitely not be cut. As for the terminal game designer, Yinling’s terminal games are only slowing down and have not stopped. After coming down, the position of the end swim did not give Ren Xiang a place to step in.

Looking back suddenly, Ren Xiang suddenly realized how awkward he was in Yinling's position.

I thought I was valued by Yinling, but then I realized that Yinling had never valued him. One of the things that he valued was the company's financial report, and the other was the talented designer in his goal, and himself? It's just the designer's replicator.

And what if Hongyi will never do page games anymore? Could it be that I can only do this endless cycle of a new page game every month?
