Chapter 400: Make a Quick Buck and Run!

Pei Qian looked around the computer room. Every student taking the test had an excited look on his face, looking like a crazy person.

Some are even talking to themselves, exclaiming that their wives are so cute.

Pei Qian looked at this and really wanted to take a photo of them to make fun of them.

But considering that he was almost becoming a public enemy now, it was better not to commit suicide.

But judging from everyone’s reaction.

The appeal of the game is indeed not bad.

In fact, the most important thing about this game is the shooting and plot.

The plot is a framework created by students in my own screenwriting class.

But in terms of the specific lines of the male and female protagonists and the design of the sweet plot, it's always a bit uninteresting.

So later we invited students from the film and television screenwriting class to join in.

They are the best at writing these romantic things.

It is precisely because of the help of the students in the film and television professional screenwriting class that I was able to complete the plot so quickly.

There are even a few more endings than the originally planned eight.

Such as the double ending.

The difficulty is also higher.

But as long as it succeeds, the last scene will show the protagonist and a heroine sitting on the sofa and being intimate. Another heroine comes out of the room and feels a little sad when she sees the two of them being intimate: "Sorry, I came at a bad time..." "

At this time, the hero will smile and say: "No, you came at the right time."

A proper tribute to the classics.

Each heroine can trigger this ending, allowing players to finally choose whatever they like.

And photography is also the key point.

But the entire video, a total of 500 minutes of content, was all shot by film and television students.

Both the actors and the filming team are professional teams.

The finished product is naturally extremely strong.

Although it is a game, the quality is as good as a high-quality TV series.

The high-quality plot and shooting quality make the quality of the game skyrocket.

Pei Qian felt that the problem was not big.

Just look for bugs again and make sure everything is fine.

It’s ready to be published.

However, the students in the game testing class were really fierce, and it didn’t take long for them to discover some bugs.

For example, if certain choices are made one after another, conflicts will arise.

This leads to incoherence in the plot presented.

The plot is even confusing.

Pei Qian went over to take a look, and it was extremely difficult to reproduce the bug.

To put it simply, the first option is to choose 1. Then choose 3 three times in a row, then choose 1 again, then choose 3 three times, and finally choose 2, and then the plot will be messed up...

This bug was so complex that even Pei Qian felt outrageous.

It feels like out of 10,000 players, not even one player may be able to win it.

But that’s exactly what game testers are for.

No matter how small a bug is, it will inevitably affect the gaming experience of some players.

If it can be detected in advance, the benefits are huge.

If a bug is found, deal with it.

A group of students in the programming class scratched their heads and began to review the program on site to find the cause of the problem.

In this way, the whole morning's testing time passed quickly.

The computer room began to clear out people.

Pei Qian also asked everyone to remember to fill in their experience and suggestions for the trial in the afternoon.

"Mr. Pei, I will take over as CEO right away. Just let me play for a while!"

"Mr. Pei, I beg you, please stop pressing me. Can I not know if the game is fun or not? I have been playing the card drawing game for three years. I have no pocket money and no lucky money. It is not easy now." With the real game, the heroine is much prettier than the card character, but you can only let me play for a while? If you don't let me play, I will feel uncomfortable. Are you obsessed with a game? I don’t want to leave, I want to continue playing.”

"Brother, please let me play for a little longer, just a little while! Please, I will never run away again. Brother, I really want it so much. Please, I am obedient. I will never make trouble again." I'll give you whatever you want. Just let me play for a while. I feel like there are ants crawling in my body now. Let me play for a while. The last time, I swear, is really the last time..."

"666..."

"I still want to play. Mai Mai is so cute. Listening to Mai Mai's coquettish voice makes me feel numb all over."

"Haohao's mother still has the best figure..."

Listening to the outrageous words of these classmates, Pei Qian waved his hands helplessly: "Get out of here, come back after class in the afternoon..."

It was not easy to clear the test crowd.

Pei Qian was in a good mood.

In this era of abundant entertainment, mobile games, short video novels and other entertainment projects are available on your mobile phone.

It’s hard to find a game that makes people reluctant to leave.

Under this situation, my classmates were so reluctant to leave.

It’s enough to see the appeal of the game.

It seems to be stable.

The roommate followed Pei Qian and locked the computer room door.

He couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Pei, I still don't understand the meaning of what you said before..."

"What does it mean that confession is not a clarion call for charge, but a fireworks for victory?"

Pei Qian didn't expect that his roommate was still thinking about this, and he shook his head helplessly: "It means that girls are not interested in you, and it is useless for you to express your feelings. You are just a clown who can purely impress me."

"Only when you confirm that your relationship with a girl is just a layer of window paper, can you confess your love, make it final, and win it directly."

"Confession is never a magical tool, but something that happens naturally when things are done."

"Confess your feelings to people when you meet them, then don't blame Batman for beating you every day!"

"Do you understand now?"

The roommates seemed to understand.

I just don't understand why Batman hit him.

But Mr. Pei does have something.

"By the way, Mr. Pei, I feel like having an actor as your girlfriend is not a good thing."

“When I was just playing the game, I saw many students drooling while watching the video of Haohao’s mother doing yoga, and many students even whispered, saying that Haohao’s mother is great, I just like children and so on. "

"So many men covet your girlfriend, and you don't know what they are fantasizing about in your mind. It must be difficult for you as a boyfriend, right?"

"I feel that if it were me, I wouldn't be able to accept it. I would have to die every day."

The roommate mentioned another thing.

However, Pei Qian was not affected in any way after hearing this.

After putting the key in his pocket, he said with a half-smile: "Actually, I thought about it before, and I found it a bit difficult to accept it at first."

"But when I changed my perspective, I stopped thinking about it."

"Even feeling a little excited."

"Because only I can meet the goddess in the hearts of countless people. The sense of pride and satisfaction is absolutely overwhelming..."

"So it's not a minus, it's a plus."

"The more people like to admire Fantasy Bai-senpai, the more excited I am."

The roommate froze in place...

It took me a long time to understand everything.

Damn it, what kind of realm is this?

Do you think we losers are part of his game?

The more we look forward to it, the more excited Pei Qian becomes?

Isn't this path too wild?

…

In the days that followed, the students in the programming class were worried about solving all kinds of weird bugs.

The experience of constantly writing... and constantly fixing bugs began.

Overall, the game is not difficult to program.

However, because the plot is complex and there are many options, the degree of freedom is high.

As a result, bugs always appear in inexplicable little corners.

But overall, it's not a big problem.

Students in the programming class said they could finish it all in three days.

As for Pei Qian, it was after the internal testing.

I started discussing the price with my classmates in the group.

"Our game is like a movie. How about setting a price for movie tickets? How about 49?"

"This is such a loss. If calculated based on movie tickets, our game has a full 400 minutes of non-repetitive plot. How can it be as long as four or five movies?"

"That's right, if you ask me, it's 299, and there's no discount. For only 299, you can experience six beauties with different styles acting coquettishly with you. It's a free gift..."

"It's crazy..."

"What's wrong with 299? Nowadays young people recharge 648 casually. 299 is not a thing at all."

"It's not appropriate. Their 3A masterpiece only costs one or two hundred yuan. I've even broken bones recently!"

"Speaking of which, I'm also surprised. It's been so many years. Who hasn't bought it yet?"

The classmates talked a lot, even though they all did well in their majors.

But in many aspects, it is still full of the childishness of young people.

Everyone looked at Pei Qian, who was the initiator and organizer of this project.

It can be said that Pei Qian forcefully recruited film and television majors to make the project successful so quickly.

Everyone wants to hear Pei Qian's opinion.

Pei Qian thought for a moment and looked forward: "299 is obviously too expensive. Most domestic players are actually not interested in stand-alone games."

"They are mainly social and can show off among their friends."

"Most stand-alone games that are popular in China are driven by popularity."

"And the price is basically not expensive, at least not more than one hundred."

"Our game, although unique, has its own advantages."

"And beauties like Zhao Maimai and others will be the heroines."

"But the gameplay itself is actually insufficient."

"So, the price cannot be too high."

"But it's not appropriate if it's too low. If it's too low, it won't make the students in the screenwriting class lose so much hair, let alone give the game platform a share."

"In this case, I suggest you come up with an auspicious number, eighty-eight!"

"After deducting the 30% share, we can still get fifty yuan."

Hearing this, the students thought silently and nodded.

The pricing of the game is closely related to the production cost, popularity, and game type.

Pricing has a huge impact on sales.

Secondly, the main battlefield for the game is definitely domestic.

But Chinese people seem to be rich now, as they can top up their money with 648 or something like that.

But in essence, there are still a small number of people who recharge casually.

Most players are basically first-time recharge monthly card party.

Therefore, if the price is more than 100, it is equivalent to abandoning most users.

The price is 88, which doesn’t seem cheap.

But the video content of more than 400 minutes is more than a short drama.

Not to mention the unique interactivity and experience.

There are also six top popular beauties blessing.

If you think about it this way, the price is quite sincere.

"I think this pricing is okay."

"+1!"

"I don't know how many copies I can sell. It would be great if I could earn him a small target."

"It's hard to say, but if it becomes popular, it's not impossible to sell a million copies."

"Let's put it on the Steam platform directly, right?"

"Why don't we transplant it and make a mobile game? There are far more people with mobile phones than computers now. If there are mobile games, we might be able to sell more."

Now that the game is about to be launched, the students are a little excited.

But the idea of ​​multi-platform is also starting to be discussed.

Hearing this, Pei Qian nodded naturally and said, "Of course I will do it."

"For our kind of game, video is the main body, and the difficulty of transplanting it is simply not too low."

"It's not just about porting mobile games."

“Don’t miss out on the major console platforms, including Xbox, PS, and Switch. All of them are available.”

"Now it is released on the console. Half a month after the player buys it, it will be released on the mobile phone, and then it will be released on the console."

"Those who can play consoles in China are all rich people. These rich guys also like to buy the same games on multiple platforms. They are mainly a collector."

"We have to give the rich guys room to play."

"By the way, you can find someone to make Korean and Japanese voice packs in advance."

"Our game cannot be popular in Europe and the United States. The aesthetics are different, but it is similar in Japan and South Korea."

"If it can become popular in Japan and South Korea, we will update a voice pack for them to express our importance to them and stimulate sales."

"There is no need to differentiate pricing between domestic and foreign areas. The main thing is that all living beings are equal."

“In short, don’t miss out on the money you can make.”

"This game itself actually doesn't have much fun. Making money is about the same as a short play. It just depends on one wave!"

Pei Qian is very clear about the positioning of his game.

The playability is average, it is mainly a game to experience the plot.

Once you get tired of the plot, it will become boring.

So even if it becomes popular, the popularity will fall quickly.

Long-term operations are simply impossible.

Just like the short play, it all flows in one wave.

Naturally, we should try our best to make as much money as possible when it is popular.

Hearing this, the students in the entire group gave a thumbs up in unison.

Pei Qian really has something.

Even Japanese and Korean players have taken it into consideration.

If there is any splash, just update the voice pack specifically.

to show attention.

This simply controls the player's mentality to death.

The students in the programming class started to curse.

Isn’t transplantation all their job?

The scolding by the classmates in the screenwriting class was indeed correct.

Pei Qian should hang street lights.

It's really not polite to give orders to people.

However, the students in the programming class did not object.

It is indeed not difficult to port this game.

It is estimated that it only takes about ten days to perfectly transplant a platform.

It can all be done in two months.

"As for the launch date, let's set it at 520!"

"Those who have a partner that day go out and have fun, while those who don't have a partner can only stay at home."

"It's just right to play our game, enjoy the sour smell of love, and release your emotions."

"There are still ten days until May 20th, which will give us time to review and promote it."

Pei Qian is very capable of leading a project team and keeps everything organized.

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

It's a good day.

Those who have a partner play with partners, and those who don’t have a partner play games.

My own game is a perfect match for this day.

As for marketing, it’s actually not a big problem.

In other words, outside netizens have long known that Xingchen students are playing games.

It was just a rumor before and it didn't create much enthusiasm.

But when they were inside, Pei Qian allowed his classmates to post game screenshots to their WeChat Moments.

Therefore, the news that the new game of Star Academy has started closed beta directly attracted a lot of attention.

Especially when netizens saw the screenshots of the game being circulated, they turned out not to be animation cartoons.

But when she was an actress from Star Academy.

The curiosity is undoubtedly greater.

Students majoring in Xingchen Games, what kind of game did they come up with?

Why do you still use real people?
