Chapter 15 Missing a Shining Point
At four o'clock in the afternoon, a red Ferrari stopped in front of the experience store.
Zhao Zihao got out of the car and looked at the main entrance of the experience store: "Huh! This experience store is not small, but Chen Mo can catch it."
Lin Mao rolled his eyes: "Don't you have several such a big store?"
Zhao Zihao said: "Hey, it's all my parents' and my mother's, what does it have to do with me. Chen Mo earned this by himself, it's different. Let's go and take a look inside."
The two called Chen Mo and waited for Chen Mo to open the door.
Zhao Zihao was wearing a white T-shirt, jeans, and a pair of sneakers. If he hadn't just got out of a Ferrari, no one would believe that he was a rich second-generation.
In fact, his clothes are quite expensive, but I don't know why wearing them on him is not much different from that of street stalls.
Lin Mao dresses more formally, with short-sleeved shirts and slacks, and he is usually calmer, which makes people feel more reliable.
The door opened.
"Come on, come in." Chen Mo greeted the two of them inside.
Zhao Zihao turned around twice on the first floor and looked at the layout inside: "Okay, Chen Mo, this store is really good. I'll call you the owner of the Internet cafe, Chen Mo."
Chen Mo Yile: "Don't make trouble, this is a serious experience store."
Lin Mao turned around enviously: "Everything here is provided by the organizer? It's really good, I don't have my own experience store yet."
Chen Mo said: "You also go to a competition."
Lin Mao smiled: "Oh, it's not like I haven't been there before, it's too difficult to win the championship, mainly because the audiences have weird tastes. Last time I participated in the competition, the games I made were obviously of good quality, but the audience didn't buy it. If you get the second place, you can tell me where to go."
The three chatted for a while and then went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
There are only three of them, and they can't eat too many dishes. Although Zhao Zihao is rich, he is not very particular about eating. He ordered five dishes at random, ordered two bottles of beer, and chatted while eating.
"Zhao Zihao, how has your studio been recently?" Chen Mo asked.
Zhao Zihao took a bite: "That's it, I didn't expect to make money at first. Anyway, I played games with me. If I meet someone who can't be beaten in the game, I will call someone and fight the gang."
Lin Mao said, "Look at your potential."
Zhao Zihao said angrily, "Then why do I keep these people up, isn't it just to be a thug for me?"
Chen Mo said: "Then you can't be domineering in the game?"
Zhao Zihao shook his head: "Hey, I've been so angry these two days.
Chen Mo asked, "What's wrong? Are you being bullied in the game?"
Zhao Zihao said: "The VR game that just came out recently is the foreign "Earth Online". I've been playing it recently, and this game almost made me mad."
Chen Mo asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Zihao said: "Don't mention it, the designer of this game is sick! Let me tell you, everyone who enters the game is born directly on the street, and they only have five hundred dollars. Everyone has to work like the real world. make money!"
"Are you saying that I'm playing your game to experience the life of a wage earner? In the end, I didn't even have any money to charge it!"
"The most irritating thing is that there are always those kind of sly brushes that come to tease you and deliberately find fault, but you beat him and the police arrest you. If you keep fighting, I want to call all my younger brothers. I wasn't born in the same city, so I have to take the train!"
Chen Mo was delighted: "Is this too real?"
Lin Mao said with emotion: "This foreign designer is amazing, can this kind of game be made?"
Zhao Zihao said very unconvinced: "Hey, it's amazing, but I always think this designer is sick.
What do you mean by disgusting players? What's wrong with this technology? "
Chen Mo said: "It's a bit unreasonable. In reality, I have experienced things countless times. What's the point of experiencing them again in the game."
Zhao Zihao continued: "Also, this game has money and nowhere to spend. You can't buy anything with recharge. You have to earn it yourself! He also keeps cracking down on private transactions, and if he finds it, he will be banned. It makes me feel so embarrassed, I don't even want to. played."
Chen Mo smiled: "Don't worry, wait for me to make you a game where you spend money to buy combat power directly. You can be as cool as you want."
Zhao Zihao laughed: "Really, Chen Mo, then I'll be waiting for you to spend money to buy combat power games! Don't say anything at that time, first charge it a thousand yuan!"
Chen Mo smiled: "One thousand yuan? For one thousand yuan, I can guarantee that you can die with a little dignity in the game."
"Ah?" Zhao Zihao was stunned. "One thousand yuan is still less than that? The closed beta qualification of "Earth Online" is only sold for more than five hundred yuan."
Chen Mo lowered his head and sipped his tea: "Okay, you'll know when the time comes."
Lin Mao said: "Hey, it's too far. Zhao Zihao, what specific business is your studio mainly doing now, and how many players are there?"
Zhao Zihao thought for a moment: "Players. That's right, our company is a studio, and we don't directly manage the guild. The guild leaders only have players in their hands. We are still separated by a layer."
Lin Mao asked, "Then how many guild leaders can you reach? When my game is released, can you bring me some users?"
Zhao Zihao said: "It depends on how much you want. I know about a dozen guild leaders, and there are about a few thousand players together. If you think about it, just rely on these people to support your game income. It's a bit difficult, but it's okay to just support the scene."
Lin Mao sighed: "The indie games I make are not easy to promote, and they are small. Those channels are not very optimistic, and the resources obtained are too few."
Zhao Zihao said, "Can't you just hang up on the app market?"
Lin Mao shook his head: "It is directly linked to the application market, no one pays attention, and no users see it."
Zhao Zihao thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll ask you when the time comes, and try to find a way to stir up the popularity of the game for you. It's really not good. At least I'll give you the data to make it look better. By the way, Chen Mo, you have it. Any suggestions?"
Chen Mo said, "I haven't watched your game yet."
Lin Mao took out his mobile phone and handed it to Chen Mo: "Look at it, the completion rate is about 80%."
Chen Mo took over the phone and clicked on the independent game that Lin Mao was developing.
After five minutes of playing, Chen Mo knew what to do. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
This is a side-scrolling game that uses European medieval packaging. The theme is the cliché story of a knight saving the princess, and the boss battle plot of defeating the dragon.
In Chen Mo's opinion, the various designs are actually quite good among D-level designers, but there are still some flaws.
Although it is passable in all aspects, it is difficult to really make players pay. Even if this game costs ten dollars, players have to think about why they should buy it.
plot? How to play? art? All good, but nothing special about them.
Chen Mo thought for a while and said, "I think you may have a misunderstanding in your thinking."
Lin Mao asked, "What misunderstanding?"
Chen Mo said: "I think there is a problem with your positioning. You are making an independent game, which is indeed a relatively niche game, but your own positioning does not need to position your game as a niche game."
Zhao Zihao scratched his head: "What do you mean, it's a bit confusing, Chen Mo, please clarify."
Chen Mo said: "It can be seen that you have worked hard in all aspects of this single-player mobile game, but you are doing it completely according to the standards of niche games, which means that you are only targeting a small group of people. Players who like this theme, and the number of these players is simply not enough to support the sales of this game."
Lin Mao was a little puzzled: "But isn't making games just aiming at the needs of the target players?"
Chen Mo said: "What I mean is that you can expand the target group of players a little bit. To put it more simply, you need to let more people play your game."
Lin Mao wondered: "Simply put, I know this, but how do you get more people to play?"
Chen Mo said: "It's very simple, find a bright spot."
