Chapter 216: Fantasy Westward Journey
"Mr. Chen, I think we should start the plan for the next online game."
Zou Tao will submit the next online game proposal after Legend World has exceeded 1 million people online at the same time.
This makes Chen Yu more interested: "We only have one game, which is really too single. In the future, the online game group will continue to expand, and we must have more games."
Opening the plan, Chen Yu was a little surprised: "3D game?"
"Yes."
"Zou Tao, aren't you optimistic about 3D games?"
"Mr. Chen, I am not optimistic about Triumph, it is not that I am not optimistic about 3D games. I think 3D games are a trend in the future."
"Can our technology make 3D games?"
"Somewhat reluctantly."
Zou Tao was a little embarrassed: "Before, our team of Legend World was formed temporarily. It's okay to make a 2D game, but it's really difficult to make a 3D game. However, Tsinghua University is currently working on a 3D engine. Feel like we can pull them into our team."
"I approved this project."
Chen Yu nodded.
However, just a 3D game project, Chen Yu felt that it was not enough.
Many well-known game companies in later generations must have at least dozens of games.
Not to mention Shanda, which had more than 100 online games in its previous life.
Although many of these online games are not well-known, they have also launched many classics.
Online games are the most lucrative era if you don't make good money, it's really a sin.
"By the way, a group of people have come from the original Legend World game project, and we will develop a casual game. I have already thought about the name, it's called Bubble Hall."
This group of game developers brought by Zou Tao has some skills, but they are not particularly strong.
It's too difficult to develop 3D games, but it's okay to develop some small games.
So the Bubble Hall project,
Chen Yu handed it over to the development team originally responsible for the legendary world.
"Casual."
"Yes, mainly targeting female players and teenagers. By the way, Zou Tao, have you ever played the game Bomberman?"
"Is it the one in the little bully that puts a bubble to blow people up?"
"Yes, this is it. I think Bomberman can be adapted into an online game."
"It's okay to adapt online games, but how do we charge?"
Zou Tao recalled the game Bomberman: "I seem to remember that this game should be a clearance game."
"We can make it into a confrontation mode, just like CS Counter-Strike, where we fight against each other in two groups. As for the charges, this kind of casual online game is not the same as the upgraded online game of fighting monsters. If you use point cards, it may not be suitable. ."
Not long ago, Shanda represented a similar casual online game "Crazy Tank", which is also biased towards turn-based confrontation.
It's just that there is no sound after the agent. Shanda has not released the number of people online at the same time. It is said that it has fluttered.
As for the reasons, the most important reason is the charging mode.
Shanda has adopted the same point card charging model for Crazy Tank as the Legend.
"So, we don't use point cards, our game is free for all players."
"free?"
Zou Tao couldn't believe it: "Mr. Chen, how can we make money for free?"
"Don't worry, free is not really free. Just like our YY, our YY is also free, but can't our YY make money?"
"You mean advertising?"
"Apart from advertising?"
"Mr. Chen, do you mean to charge for props?"
"bingo."
Chen Yu nodded: "Our model is the free + prop model."
"Everyone can try the game for free, and at the same time, if you don't spend money, it won't affect any of his gaming experience. Of course, if you spend money, the natural gaming experience will be better."
"I understand."
It's just that Zou Tao is still a little worried: "Mr. Chen, although the free + props model is feasible, what if everyone doesn't buy props?"
"How can you not buy it? The QQ show created by Penguin is not bought by a lot of people."
Having said that, Chen Yu remembered that YY would also have a YY show.
Making money or not is small, but increasing user stickiness is big.
YY Show can not only make money, but also increase user stickiness.
It's just that YY mainly engaged in chat rooms before, so it doesn't matter if you want YY show or not.
But it's different now. YY has to go the social route, so how can you not use the YY show, a device that enhances your sense of vanity.
"Gamers are born with stronger spending power than other players. Although it seems that he can try it out for free, he can play it without spending money. However, in the process of playing the game, other people's various costumes and props will pretend to be in front of you from time to time. Now, it's hard for you to hold back."
Thinking about his previous life, Chen Yu couldn't help recharging dozens of dollars to buy wings and phantoms.
It doesn't matter if you don't charge, there will always be someone charging.
And it was filled with a lot of people.
Of course, this free + props model can also be suitable for traditional upgraded monster-killing online games.
For example, Legend World, he can also make a free version.
However, it is not yet at this time, there is no need to engage in a free version.
After arranging the second game project, Chen Yu called Li Nan again.
I mentioned the YY show just mentioned with Li Nan, and then Chen Yu asked Li Nan to step up the development of "Lianliankan", "Xiaoxiaoxiu"... and a series of small games.
At present, QQ Games has lost a battle in the competition with YY Games, but it does not die. There are so many people in QQ Games, and new players are still entering every day.
If you want to completely destroy the QQ game, you need to add a few more firepower.
After giving the order, Chen Yu thought about the more profitable online games in the future.
League of Legends is one.
But this is not urgent for the time being.
So is chicken.
This one is less urgent.
CF and dnf are also popular games, so this one can be done in a hurry.
correct.
Fantasy Westward Journey.
To say the most profitable online game in China, Fantasy Westward Journey can definitely rank in the top three.
And to say that the domestic life is the longest and the most profitable, then Fantasy Westward Journey should be ranked first.
In 2012, Fantasy Westward Journey shocked the attention of many people with 2.71 million simultaneous online users.
What is even more unbelievable is that in the wave of a lot of free online games at that time, Fantasy Westward Journey still maintained the original point card fee. Even, the price of point card charges was raised later. From the original 4 cents per hour to 6 cents.
Such a money-making game, thinking about Chen Yu is very exciting.
Past Life Fantasy Westward Journey was launched in December 2003.
It is now 2002, there is still at least a year and a half left, and Chen Yu still has time.
More importantly, NetEase has not yet started the project of Fantasy Westward Journey.
Their main energy is still on Dahua Westward Journey 2.
However, time is still very tight, only one and a half years, at most two years.
If you don't make this game first in front of NetEase, then you won't have much drama.
"Xu Bo."
Thinking of Fantasy Westward Journey, Chen Yu thought of the most crucial character in Fantasy Westward Journey.
"Wang Chang, find a headhunter to dig Xu Bo over."
A phone call, Chen Yu called Wang Chang from the marketing department.
