Chapter 896 Ioi Mobile Game Version
Thursday, February 16.
Imperial Capital, the incubator base of "Poor Road Project" independent game.
After the Spring Festival, the incubation base has resumed normal operations, and independent game producers have restarted game development.
Before the Spring Festival holiday, the promotional video released by "Qiantu Project" played a very good publicity effect. The success of "Survival Manual for Office Workers" and "Ink and Cloud" DEMO gave all independent game producers a shot in the arm. They felt their dream of making an indie game seemed closer than ever.
Wu Zhicheng is obviously the most energetic.
The DEMO of "Ink and Cloud" was very successful, and the players are supporting it with real money. It is almost confirmed that as long as the follow-up content of "Ink and Cloud" is completed step by step, the sales will definitely not be bad.
Moreover, the staff of the entire incubation base are also fully cooperating. Wu Zhicheng has everything he needs, and he only needs to focus all his energy on game design.
The only fly in the ointment is that there is a regulation in the incubation base that a certain amount of game time must be guaranteed every week to "collect inspiration", which makes Wu Zhicheng quite a headache.
It would be nice to spend that time developing the game as well.
At this time, Wu Zhicheng was seriously designing the follow-up levels of "Ink and Cloud" at his workstation.
Each level chapter has to make its own features in terms of packaging and gameplay, which is also a very brain-intensive thing.
Qiu Hong came to the incubation base, looked around, and found that everyone was working very focused and earnestly, and was very satisfied.
He couldn't help thinking about the situation when he started his own game company and started his own business.
At that time, Qiu Hong was also the boss, but every time he went to the company, he could see that the employees seemed to be working hard, but they were actually fishing; and the independent game producers at the incubation base were really serious about designing their own games. game.
Qiu Hong couldn't help but sigh, is this the charm of Mr. Pei?
Even though almost no one knows the relationship between the "Qiantu Project" and Mr. Pei, and even though all independent game producers have not been inspired by the "Tenda Spirit", they still did the same thing as Tenda employees.
Boss Pei's incentive buff can take effect without revealing his identity? And can it directly affect the imperial capital from Jingzhou?
It's outrageous.
Qiu Hong came to the middle of the office area and clapped his hands: "Please stop what you are doing for a while, I have two things to announce."
Wu Zhicheng and other independent game producers all raised their heads and listened carefully.
Qiu Hong said: "First of all, the first thing is that I will be away for a period of time. I don't know how long it will be. It may be one or two months, or three or five months, depending on the work situation."
"The independent game incubation base here in the imperial capital is on the right track. Next, I will go to Shanghai, Yangcheng and other cities to open an independent game incubation base."
"The initial plan is to set up three studios, namely the 'Poor Path Project' northern studio, eastern studio and southern studio."
"Everyone has to work harder in the future. Our northern studio was the first to be established. It will be embarrassing if we are overtaken by the eastern and southern studios in the future."
"If you encounter any problems at work, you should continue to find Xi Hao. He will communicate with me at any time."
There were some surprised expressions on everyone's faces, but they didn't overreact.
This is actually an unexpected and reasonable thing.
The "Qiantu Project" was originally aimed at independent game developers across the country. The independent game developers on the imperial capital are almost arranged, and it will definitely be the turn of the independent game developers in Shanghai and Yangcheng.
It's just that everyone didn't expect it to be so fast.
However, Xi Hao is responsible for the normal operation of the incubation base, so Qiu Hong's departure can be said to have no effect, and everyone will not make a fuss.
Qiu Hong paused, and continued: "The second thing, I have set up a managed gym membership for everyone in the incubation base, and everyone must go to exercise on time."
"In the future, everyone's work meals will also be replaced with fitness meals that match the hosting gym. This is to ensure everyone's health."
"After all, game development requires sitting for a long time, and the lumbar and cervical spine are prone to problems after a long time. Keeping fit can give everyone more energy to develop games."
Hearing this news, everyone was dumbfounded.
What the hell?
Get us a gym membership?
Wu Zhicheng was also at a loss. He was already very dissatisfied with the rule of "guaranteed game time every week", but now besides playing games every week, he also has time to exercise?
And everyone has been eating the regular meals of Moyu Takeaway, which taste very good. Although they are not as healthy as fitness meals, they are much better than other takeaways, and everyone is quite satisfied.
Now you have to eat fitness meals with a managed gym, isn't it superfluous?
Wu Zhicheng hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Mr. Qiu, there is no need for a gym. Everyone is young and in good health..."
Qiu Hong's expression became serious: "The body is very good? Do you believe this?"
"Before you came to the incubation base, you played independent games in your residence. All of you were upside down day and night, and your diet was irregular. Although there is no serious illness due to your youth, who has no minor illnesses?"
"It just so happens that the managed gym has opened in the imperial capital. I heard that the fitness effect is very good. I have arranged for everyone to go, so I have to go! Xi Hao, you have to supervise everyone and urge everyone to exercise. If anyone doesn't go, I will I'm asking you!"
Xi Hao also froze at his workstation, not knowing how to react for a while.
Qiu Hong said it very strongly, but in fact he didn't know what to do.
In fact, these requests were all put forward by Mr. Pei, and he was just a mouthpiece.
Before Pei Qian learned that Moyu Internet Café, Moyu Takeaway, and hosted gyms had opened in large-scale cities such as the Imperial Capital and the Magic Capital, he had been thinking about how to counteract and hold back.
It suddenly occurred to him that there are quite a few properties in the imperial capital too!
There are independent game incubation bases and cold-faced girls, all of whom are arranged to host gyms, which can not only create a certain loss, but also interfere with everyone's work progress, why not do it?
However, the relationship between the incubation base and Tengda Group cannot be made public, so Qiu Hong can only be allowed to continue to be a tool man.
Wu Zhicheng and other producers stood up one after another, wanting to discuss with Qiu Hong.
There's absolutely no need for a gym!
Let's get down to making games, isn't it good?
But Qiu Hong didn't intend to bargain with them at all, and said firmly, "That's it," and then left.
Wu Zhicheng and the others obviously misunderstood it, because Qiu Hong actually couldn't decide on this matter. Isn't it the wrong person to bargain with Qiu Hong?
Seeing Qiu Hong's leaving back, Wu Zhicheng and the other producers looked at each other, and they all saw the blankness in each other's eyes.
At the same time, it seems to taste a familiar smell...
...
At the same time, in Shanghai, Longyu Group.
In the conference room, Eric looked at the latest report with a very proud smile on his face.
Sitting opposite Eric, Zhao Xuming tried his best to lower his sense of existence and leave the stage to Eric.
It has been nearly a week since the implementation of the "Eric New Deal", and some clues can already be seen from the data of ioi.
The reason why Eric was so happy was because the data this time completely met his expectations, and the effect was even better than he imagined!
The decline in revenue is certain. After all, all heroes are free, and the price of skins has been directly reduced to 30% of the original value. In the short term, the player base of ioi will not experience explosive growth. Revenue will inevitably decrease.
But the decline in revenue data is much more optimistic than Eric expected!
From the data point of view, although the price has dropped, many old players have been compensated and bought a lot of skins that they did not plan to buy before.
Although the price of each skin is less, the number of copies sold has increased, which has the effect of small profits but quick turnover.
For example, some old players originally wanted to spend 80 yuan to buy a skin, but now they find that they can buy two types, and they will still spend the money instead of choosing to spend only 40 and save the other 40.
After the price of the skin plummeted, it has reached the lowest point in history. Most players feel that it is absolutely impossible to reduce the price of the skin for a long time in the future, so they no longer wait for the discount, but choose to buy it immediately.
Moreover, this big price cut has created a lot of enthusiasm, and the number of simultaneous online users on the national server and even the world server, and the average game time per capita have all increased significantly.
Many players bought several skins at one go, so naturally they have to play a few more rounds to appreciate and feel it.
In short, Eric is very satisfied with the data in the report, and naturally he is very proud and even a little swollen.
Eric looked around everyone: "The new version of the data, the senior management of the Dayak Group is also quite satisfied, which fully meets our previous expectations."
"So next, we will take advantage of the victory and continue to make up for a big shortcoming of ioi."
"Mobile version!"
"A big reason for GOG's success lies in its mobile game version. Whether it is promoting in the national server or in the world, GOG's mobile game has played a very critical role."
"Before, we were really too arrogant and felt that the mobile game version was useless, so we missed the opportunity. Seeing that GOG has achieved such a great success in the mobile game market, we also realized our mistake."
"So, at present, Finger Company is already developing the mobile game version of ioi. Like GOG, it is a terminal game and a mobile game that can communicate with both terminals."
"After making up for this shortcoming, the gap between ioi and GOG will be further narrowed. Combined with our price war, we will definitely be able to regain the market that was taken away by GOG!"
Recently, I will take time to make up "Half-Life ALYX" and "Red Dead Redemption" and collect materials. There are a lot of things on the weekend, and a chapter is published urgently, and it will be updated later
