To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 191 "Turn Back On The Shore" (Additions for the lord Yuan)

In addition, there are environmental concerns.

The soul game was not very successful at the beginning, it also experienced a process from low to high sales.

From the earliest "Devil's Soul", to "Dark Soul", "Blood Curse" to "Dark Soul 3", and finally to "Sekiro", overall, the difficulty is gradually decreasing.

While retaining the essence of the soul game, the difficulty is gradually reduced, but the sales are steadily increasing.

This shows that increasing the difficulty can indeed reduce sales.

Moreover, the success of soul games is regional.

The game "Devil's Soul" was originally completely contrary to the publisher's requirements. Miyazaki's old thief played a trick during the development period, and did not fully follow the above requirements. Instead, he made a game that is completely his own. style game.

When the higher-ups discovered this problem, Demon's Soul had been roughly completed. The people above were furious, but there was nothing they could do.

Even the publisher was not optimistic at the beginning. If the project leader Kenichi Kajii hadn’t insisted on it, maybe this game would not have been able to meet the players.

On the eve of its release, the famous video game magazine Famitsu gave it a low score of 29 points (out of 40 points).

This game is quite popular in China. The old thief Miyazaki tried his best to contact the European and American publishers, but it turned out to be an unexpected hit!

The key factor in this is that the Soul series games are just in line with the tastes of European and American hardcore stand-alone players.

The Soul series of games really became popular in China, basically around 15 years ago.

The current domestic game environment is generally consistent with what Pei Qian remembers. High-difficulty games are relatively niche games and are not popular.

That being the case, wouldn't it be enough to make a highly difficult soul game and only release it in China?

Moreover, in order to prevent this game from being discovered by European and American players, it is deliberately made into a Chinese background, adding a cultural gap, so that European and American players can't understand it even if they want to play it!

Pei Qian couldn't help being very proud. Sure enough, human creativity is boundless.

If it wasn't for the loss, he wouldn't know that he could come up with such a good idea!

……

Pei Qian very succinctly explained the positioning of this game to everyone. In summary, there are five requirements.

First, this is a game with a Chinese background, which must be filled with a lot of puzzle-solving elements, and a lot of puzzles and text content must be written in ancient Chinese.

This is mainly to prevent the game from being discovered by European and American players and becoming popular.

At that time, solving puzzles will require excellent knowledge of ancient prose, which will definitely make those foreigners unable to play for a minute!

And this game is mainly sold in China, even if there is no other language version, it will not be judged as a violation by the system.

Second, this is a super difficult game.

Pei Qian asked Bao Xu and Lu Mingliang to rack their brains and do everything possible to make the player fail.

Dissuading as many players as possible is their first task.

Third, this is an action game with a big scene.

There must be a large number of models, actions, and scenes in the game, and the budget for all art resources must be full!

By all means, spend more money!

Of course, this so-called extra money is based on the previous investment in Tenda games. In fact, Pei Qian's psychological limit is only 2000 million.

No matter how much more, he still wants to spend, but the system funds may not be enough.

It is incomparable to compare with foreign super giants with tens of millions or hundreds of millions of research and development funds.However, compared with the investment of these domestic manufacturers, it can still be called a big production.

Fourth, the game will have the longest time frame for refunds.

According to the requirements of the official platform, games on the platform can be refunded within 3 hours of the actual game time. This time can only be long, not short.

In fact, the vast majority of game companies hope that this time can be shortened, and it would be better to cancel it. How could it be possible to take the initiative to lengthen it.

But Pei Qian decided that this game will use the longest refund time limit on the official platform, 5 hours!

For many small games, the total game time is only three or four hours. It would be crazy to ask for a 5-hour refund, which is basically the same as free.

But in Pei Qian's view, 3 hours is actually not a long time. When some people played Soul 3, they died unknowingly at the gate of Guda for 3 hours, and the refund deadline was over.

And Pei Qian decided that this game of his own can be refunded within 5 hours, and there will be a line of prompts on the upper right of the game when the difference is 10 minutes to 5 hours.

Absolutely let every player who wants to get a refund never miss the time.

Fifth, about the name of this game.

In order to avoid the influence of the game name on the players, and to prevent some innocent people from getting in by mistake, Pei Qian decided to make the game name as straightforward as possible.

The game is called "Return to the Shore", which contains Pei Qian's sincere advice to the players.

After hearing Pei Qian's five-point request, even Bao Xu was dumbfounded.

In Pei Qian's memory, "Devil's Soul" is a game from 09, but there is no "Devil's Soul" in this world, so even a well-informed player like Bao Xu has never heard of such a crazy game. game.

Of course, there are some hardcore games that are known for their high difficulty, but games like Pei Qian that directly require "do everything possible to make the player fail" are really rare...

Everything else is easy to understand, except for this difficulty, both Lu Mingliang and Bao Xu feel a little bit blind.

"Boss Pei, can you tell me in detail about this difficulty? For example, how many percent of the players will be blocked by the boss of the last level?" Bao Xu asked.

Pei Qian subconsciously wanted to say, 99.9999% of the players are stuck!

However, in his field of vision, a line of words appeared in an instant.

【warn!A game where the vast majority of people have no possibility of clearing the level is a violation. The highest difficulty of the game is subject to the host being able to get through. 】

Pei Qian's smile froze on his face.

The system almost blurted out my tony horse.

Based on what I can get through?I'm so handicapped!

Playing "Sea Fortress" was abused, you let me get through this kind of game, you just told me that I can't do it or it's over!

However, Pei Qian did not panic. After all, he was well-informed, and this small problem would not bother him.

Based on what I can get through?

That's easy, I'll just secretly hide something in the game...

I just assumed that there is a particularly powerful weapon in the game, and this weapon can only be obtained by triggering a very complicated hidden plot and advancing through a completely unreasonable game route.

Afterwards, relying on this powerful weapon, my understanding of soul-type games, and the level map I knew beforehand, it shouldn't be a problem for me to get through it in two or three weeks.

In order to lose money, I suffered this!

After this idea appeared, the system did not warn again, indicating that it was feasible.

Pei Qian smiled slightly, and said to Bao Xu: "In terms of design, we will not block any players. Theoretically, most people can pass the level, it just requires some skills."

The implication is that if they give up by themselves, then don't blame me.

"Just follow the highest difficulty imaginable, and I will modify it myself in the end."

When the time comes to add this weapon, Pei Qian will set the game at the extreme difficulty that he can use this weapon to pass the level, so that he will not be warned by the system.

At that time, players will not be able to get this weapon, and they will be playing in hell mode, plus a 5-hour unconditional refund, which will definitely make most people quit!

Lu Mingliang asked: "Mr. Pei, this game is called "Return to the Shore", and it has a traditional Chinese background... What is the specific worldview?"

Pei Qian smiled and said, "You guys can decide on such a small matter."
