Chapter 254: President Li's Revision Plan

Lilith ignored the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, but directly signaled Gu Fan with her eyes.

Gu Fan distributed the printed documents to everyone, and then opened the latest development version of the game "Demon World Conflict" on the projector.

So far, the development completion of this game is about 80%, which means that about 80% of the basic functions have been completed.

However, even if the game functions are 100% completed, there will be a lot of debugging and modification work in the future, and the actual workload is at least 30%.

In other words, the game "Demon World Conflict" is currently in a state where it seems to be playable, but in fact it is still far from being truly playable.

At this time, Gu Fan was controlling an ordinary orc warrior in the game.

He ran on the desolate plains, jumping from time to time.

He met a lion on the road, and he rushed over directly, then swung the battle axe in his hand and chopped it twice, and the lion was killed instantly.

This damage surprised Gu Fan himself. He was silent for a moment and said, "Well, it should be that the damage value has not been adjusted yet. The current damage is a bit too high."

He controlled the orc to run two more steps, and happened to see a slightly taller and more powerful demon monster, so he charged again.

This time, the orc warrior charged directly and got stuck in the model and drilled into the ground, and then fell into the endless void.

Gu Fan's hand speed was very fast. He clicked ESC at the speed of light, then switched roles and pretended that nothing had happened.

Everyone looked at it with black lines on their faces, sometimes looking down at the game introduction document in their hands, and sometimes looking up at the actual machine demonstration on the big screen.

I can only say that the more you look at it, the more you feel it hurts your eyes.

Wei Chengjie raised his hand weakly and asked, "Excuse me, where did you buy this game...? How much did it cost?"

Lilith answered truthfully: "Oh, I bought it from a company called Tianlong Digital Entertainment. They originally wanted 40 million yuan, and I bargained for it and got it down to 37 million.

"How about it, it's still a good deal, right?

"They have invested nearly 100 million yuan in developing this game! We are buying it at less than half the price! It's a good deal, right?"

"The formalities have not been completed yet, but it's almost done."

Wei Chengjie couldn't help but open his eyes wide, shocked by Lilith.

Every one of these words was beyond his expectations.

At this moment, he really wanted to say, Dachun, you are different from others, don't waste your time on making games!

How can this thing be calculated like that? What does it have to do with us how much money they spent on developing this game before?

Even if it cost 1 billion or 10 billion, it is just a semi-finished product that can't be played at all, and in terms of game quality, it is not worth that much money.

If a game can really make money, why don't they develop it themselves and leave this opportunity to make money to you?

If Wei Chengjie were to make the final decision, he would have to consider selling this game for 10 million yuan, but President Li actually spent 37 million to buy such a semi-finished product. It can only be said that... it's very thoughtful.

How can this game be so profitable? How do you rate it?

On the surface, it is a very ordinary game with a western fantasy background. The races are just a few common ones, such as humans, orcs, half-orcs, elves, dwarves, demons, etc.

The professions are also common professions, such as warriors, paladins, thieves, hunters, priests, mages, warlocks, etc.

The game takes place in a place called the continent of Azeria, which is divided into various different areas. Each area has different levels and different tasks. There are also multiplayer team dungeons, battlefields and other different ways of playing.

Wei Chengjie's expression was a little bit tense.

He looked at Lilith: "Mr. Li, forgive me for being blunt, the quality of this game is actually pretty good, the content production is also quite attentive, and the gameplay is also classic. If it is released online normally, there is still hope to make money.

"But all this has a very important premise, that is, it would be best if it was twenty years ago, that is, 2005..."

Wei Chengjie's statement is still quite emotional.

Obviously, as an MMORPG game, this game is barely qualified in terms of content. It would have attracted a group of players 20 years ago.

But now, 20 years have passed, and MMORPGs have long been out of fashion. Although countless game manufacturers are trying hard to design new gameplay for MMORPGs, most of them are just minor repairs and are unable to change the decline.

Therefore, there are only two types of MMORPG games still alive on the market.

One type is those very classic MMORPG games that have survived since around 2005. Even if they are just for nostalgia, they can still have a group of fixed players to play.

The other type is to take the national style route, make some beautiful costumes to attract female players, and then attract male players through a large number of female players, mainly around the social attributes of the game to differentiate.

As for the game "Demon World Dispute"...

Obviously, it doesn't have either end!

Its gameplay is very retro, basically the mainstream gameplay of MMORPG around 2005, with task system, career settings, team dungeons, etc., which are almost the same.

The gameplay itself is relatively old-fashioned, and at the same time there is no sentiment bonus, so there will not be any nostalgic old players to play.

Its graphics are realistic in style, or to put it in a more low-EQ way, it's ugly.

Without all kinds of fancy and beautiful fashions to attract female players, it is naturally impossible to have strong social attributes.

Not to mention that the game itself is still a semi-finished product, and there are still various unfixed bugs in the game.

In short, spending more than 30 million to buy such a game can only be said to be crazy.

What is the difference between this and pure money wasted?

Lilith smiled slightly: "This game needs to be modified after it is bought!

"I think that many shortcomings of this game should be able to be made up, especially in terms of graphics, which can be greatly improved.

"Originally, if we develop an MMORPG game, it may cost 100 million, but now, we spend 10 million to make minor repairs to this game, and the comprehensive cost is directly saved by half!

"In addition, of course, we will also make various modifications to the game to try to turn decay into magic! "

Wei Chengjie couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly, he didn't believe it at all.

Turning decay into magic?

I believe what Mr. Gu said, but Mr. Li, what you said is very unconvincing!

Lilith cleared her throat slightly: "At present, the changes I have planned for this game are mainly in these three aspects.

"First, we must focus on team dungeons in subsequent development!

"The number of existing team dungeons must at least double, and various complex mechanisms must be introduced to let players experience the feeling of hell!

"After all, the people who play MMORPGs now are all hardcore diehard players, all of them are a group of masochists. The harder the game is, the more they like it. We satisfy them and torture them to death!

"Second, I think the current values ​​of this game are too conservative, and there should be a big improvement! There is no need to increase too much, just double it first.

"Third, the art resources of this game must be completely changed!

"We will continue the previous art style, mainly realistic painting style, give this game a comprehensive packaging, and then promote it well so that everyone can play it.

"Well, there shouldn't be any problem!"

After hearing this, everyone was a little bit overwhelmed.

Wei Chengjie widened his eyes in shock, thinking, is this what you, Li, call "turning decay into magic"?

This is clearly turning decay into more decay!

This game was not very good to begin with, and you hit it hard and buried it in the ground?

Is the problem with the game "Demon Conflict" the difficulty?

Although there are indeed some hardcore die-hard players who like difficult challenges, it is because they have feelings. Only when they play the nostalgic clothes of some old games can they really endure the complex mechanism and high difficulty and try repeatedly.

Why should those old players be willing to play a new game and suffer willingly?

It doesn't make sense!

What's more, the theme of Western fantasy is originally the private domain of some old foreign manufacturers. From any angle, it is difficult for "Demon Conflict" to compete with the nostalgic clothes of those classic games.

Wei Chengjie sighed silently, then looked at Gu Fan.

Gu Fan was still quite calm, without any emotional fluctuations.

Wei Chengjie couldn't help but be curious, Doctor, the patient is broken like this, can he still be saved?
