Chapter 315 The Right Path (16)
Chang Ping's idea is quite simple, but no one had thought of it before.
After all, games are a new industry in Jiuzhou. The leading role of the predecessors is very strong, so that the later ones are almost following Fang Wai's footsteps.
Chang Ping jumped out of this framework and proposed another idea, which is to integrate the popular cards and put them into the game.
Such cards are very simple to make. After all, the rules of traditional cards are fixed. There is no need for planning to make them. Ordinary monks can complete them.
Moreover, this type of game does not require high carriers, and bamboo slips can also be played.
In addition, it can be played without carrying physical objects and relying on the Shentong Network.
Now everyone is so busy, and it costs money to get together at ordinary times. This game can completely allow monks to take time to get together in the game. It is a good tool to kill time.
After listening to Chang Ping's description, Li Cheng was also somewhat tempted.
After thinking for a while, he said hesitantly: "But I have a question, this game may not be able to compete with Fangwai's "Jiuzhou"."
"Why do we have to fight with Fangwai?" Chang Ping asked immediately, "That person is like a mountain, we mortals should not have that idea. But there is a saying that everything has its destiny, and every game has its own fans. Many older generations are actually not used to playing Fangwai's games. They prefer traditional chess and cards such as mahjong and leaf games, and our target is these people."
Li Cheng nodded, feeling that what Chang Ping said made sense.
Thinking deeply, he found that it was true. They really didn't need to confront Fangwai head-on. Just make a small and beautiful game with its own characteristics.
Following Chang Ping's thoughts, he said: "Interesting, then our way of making money can be very simple, just sell game monthly cards. A dozen spirits' monthly cards every month, and then the game can be played continuously in a month."
"Okay! Just do it like this"
Li Cheng was interested in this business model, and then found that Chang Ping was really a talent.
After setting out the drinks, the two chatted in the yard until dawn, and then they realized that a whole night had passed.
However, neither of them had the intention to rest, but immediately started to make the corresponding magic, and transplanted a mahjong into the bamboo slips that afternoon.
After the first game was transplanted, the subsequent games only modified the settings in the magic, and the copying was quite fast.
In less than a day, several mainstream mahjong games had been transplanted, and then they were promoted.
After posting relevant game posts on the forum, Li Cheng and Chang Ping soon found that the number of players in the game was growing quite slowly.
Moreover, the game's stickiness was not high. Most players left immediately after finding out that it was just an ordinary mahjong game, and not many people cared.
Looking at the dismal game data, Li Cheng asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
"I don't know." Chang Ping frowned and said, "I thought our previous ideas were good and we should be able to make a lot of money."
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if it fails. We only put in one day of effort. Let's continue to think of new ideas."
Although he said so, Li Cheng was still a little unwilling.
Looking at the dismal data, Li Cheng watched the game eighteen times in an hour, but still couldn't figure out why.
Chang Ping looked at the game data and thought for a long time, and suddenly his attention was attracted by a comment.
[You want money as soon as you come in. This game is probably crazy about money. 】
This sentence made Chang Ping think for a long time.
Elysium City needs to rely on early settings to attract players, and their game makes people spend money right from the start, which really can't keep people.
After thinking it through, he said to Li Cheng: "How about we change to a free model?"
Li Cheng's attention shifted from the data to Chang Ping, and he asked in confusion: "What do you mean by free?"
"It means that the game does not charge money, allowing players to play for free and do whatever they want. It's just that there is game currency in the game, which needs to be purchased through recharge. And for each game, we will take two points from the winner as tax, and no tax will be collected from the loser."
"What if there is no game currency and you don't want to recharge?"
"Send them some every day, and then open a monthly card, and give more currency every day. At the same time, open a more advanced game room, where the mahjong bottom is higher and it is more exciting to play. As long as they are still there, it can increase popularity and let more people come in."
"... There is a way!"
The two began to modify it immediately, and put in game types such as Pai Gow, and then looked forward to putting the game download method back into the discussion place.
This time, the game traffic has obviously increased.
Many players felt that this game was interesting after entering, and they could see the cards they were familiar with.
Although it can't be used as a main meal, it's still nice to play with childhood playmates when you have nothing to do.
And some of the elders in the family have become ghost cultivators, and it is said that they are a bit bored at ordinary times, so just let them play cards.
And the game doesn't cost money, and the older generation is happy to play, just think of it as filial piety to them.
In less than a day, the number of online players of the game doubled. The simple and unpretentious game method attracted a large number of players, and the game also made five spirit stones on the day after the modification.
After receiving two and a half spirit stones, Chang Ping repeatedly counted the money on hand twice, and then recharged it into "Heavenly Soul" and drew a wave happily.
After the fun, he looked at the game data and couldn't help saying: "The game is really profitable."
"Of course not!" Li Cheng replied immediately, "Okay, let's continue to update the gameplay."
"Don't you want to enjoy it?"
"It's too late. The Refining Pavilion quickly follows suit. Others can estimate your game's profit level through your charging model, the number of players, etc., and then decide whether to follow suit based on the difficulty of your game. We are just at the forefront now, and it would be a pity if we don't make more money."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Crazy template updates and continuous creation of new games, Chang Ping saw that the game's daily revenue continued to increase, and gradually there were signs of becoming a popular game.
However, this time, he did not blindly expand the scale, but continued to improve the experience with Li Cheng, preparing for the upcoming trend of following suit.
After all, the gameplay of the game is simple and easy to learn from. The Refining Pavilion quickly set off a wave of craze, but soon killed a large number of followers on the road.
After surviving, their chess and card games also lost two-thirds of the players, but the remaining players are almost all iron fans, and playing online games every day has become a habit, so they only need to maintain it well in the future.
Now, Chang Ping and Li Cheng's game has 8,000 people online at the same time every day, and 50,000 people online every day. These people have become their moat and also give them the motivation to continue to update.
The daily income can be 12 spirit stones, which may not seem much, but this is a game for two people, and the money divided every day is quite considerable.
Looking at his income, Chang Ping felt that he had made the right choice at the beginning.
