Reborn on the Internet: Starting with Games

Chapter 466 The idea of ​​Century Game Center

“Gah Leek, no, the season is meant to give players a feeling of reset but not complete reset.

At the beginning of the new season, all players will go back one or two large levels, so please try again, but high-level players still have the first-mover advantage.

For example, if the strongest king drops to diamond, and if diamond drops to gold or silver, forget it and keep it unchanged.

We have all played a lot of games. Have you ever had that situation? After playing on a server for a period of time, you have developed your own understanding and experience of the game, and feel that you are a master. When the new server is opened, no matter whether you switch to another server in the end. You haven’t moved to a new server, but you still have the urge to become a boss in a new area?

This sense of superiority brought about by returning to the past with an innate advantage and starting over again is called the sense of time travel, so countless players flock to it. "

In fact, judging from some game data, every time a new area is opened, many players in the old area have worked hard to build up accounts that are either sold or thrown away, and they move to the new area and start all over again. This is the best explanation for this statement.

Several people in the audience nodded sympathetically, expressing their approval of the boss's statement.

“The same goes for the season reset, which creates an atmosphere and environment for everyone to start over again.

As the season resets, the pass can of course be renamed, for example, it can be called a season pass. A batch of rewards will be changed each season, and players can recharge.

Why is it called a season? It cycles through every quarter, and there are endless shortages of children and grandchildren. Of course, this is how the money comes.

With seasons, you can also have competition years. For example, if you reach the king rank in four seasons a year, you will have exclusive competition year-limited skin rewards, etc. Of course, these can be received for free to increase user activity. "

Then Chen Hao saw that he had finally gathered everyone together, and he briefly talked about the secret realm, tower climbing and other gameplay methods.

As for the effect, anyway, he looked at the people below, his eyes were like wolves and tigers, and his eyes were shining.

Chen Hao touched his chin and felt that his 150 billion revenue target was too conservative. With these few tricks, he couldn't double it?
But Chen Hao has a habit of not taking back the water he has thrown out. As for how much it can reach by the end of the year, the scale of the entire Chinese online game market may also undergo earth-shaking changes.

He still has high expectations for this.

Chen Hao made the final conclusion, "I just used Hero's Glory as an example, but which mechanisms each of your games uses needs to be questioned based on the situation, so don't swallow it all.

Trying to do it all can be counterproductive.For example, competitive online games such as Glory of Heroes and League of Gods are suitable for ranks, seasons and passes, but secret realms and tower climbing are not suitable.

On the other hand, the concept of seasons is not very applicable to the world of miracles and martial arts.”

As he spoke, he drew a table, with all the self-developed online games horizontally displayed, such as Glory of Heroes, Alliance of Gods, World of Martial Arts, etc.

Vertically, there are gameplay mechanisms such as rank mechanism, seasons, passes, tower climbing, and secret realms.

Then analyze them one by one, discuss the suitability, and tick the corresponding fields.

Everyone present expressed their opinions with great enthusiasm, and after half an hour, all these games were finalized.

"A few hard requirements, first Xu Peiliang."

"exist!"

"Glory of Heroes and Alliance of Gods, these mechanisms just determined must be in place before the public beta in October."

Xu Peiliang was very excited, "I promise to complete the task."

"For all other games, based on today's content, I want to see that the expansion pack within the year will include the things just determined. After you schedule your respective projects, synchronize them with me! My bottom line is that they will be online before the end of September. After all, I can I don’t want to see that we haven’t accomplished our year-end goal! You guys were complaining to me before, but are you confident now?”

Others vowed and said in unison, "I promise to complete the goal!"

"Do you have any questions?" Chen Hao saw Zhou Xiao raising his hand, "Say!"

"What we just confirmed is our self-developed product, what about the online games we represent? For example, the previous Wonderland, Legend III, Bubble Hall, and the current CF and DNF."

"Agents are not included. They don't have the energy to bother with Korean developers. Besides, the later they know about these things, the better.

Let it develop on its own first and do our job as an agent. Oh, Chuan 's project team will be streamlined and optimized, and only the lowest-cost operation and maintenance will be retained. Chuan Chuan will be free for players to play for three years. It has been completed. fulfilled its historical mission.

In another year or two, when the number of players drops to a certain level, the server will be shut down directly. "

"Yes, got it!"

"Anyone else, do you have any questions? If not, we'll disperse. Zhou Xiao will stay!"

Like students who were detained in class, the two young men, Xu Peiliang and Chu Xuan, winked at Zhou Xiao and snickered when they left.

Zhou Xiao made a move to kick him.

After everyone else had left, Chen Hao asked Zhou Xiao, "What do you think after watching OAS at the Orange press conference?"

When the boss asked about the app store, he should have meant something, and he was thinking about Century Interactive Entertainment’s business.
Zhou Xiao thought for a while, but was still a little confused, "What do you mean, boss, that PC online games will also be platform-based? But now the World Games platform already exists?"

"We are all CEOs, so we might as well expand the structure. We are now making games, but after thinking about it, making games is just a means of accumulating original capital. In the end, we still build platforms to build an ecosystem. App stores in the mobile phone industry It’s just a layout, and there won’t be any response for a while, but the PC field is extremely mature.”

"What the boss means is that in the future, others will make games, and we will make the platform! In this case, these game manufacturers will work for us in the future?"

Bang, Chen Hao snapped his fingers, that's what he meant, talking to smart people saves trouble.

Then he combined the later generations of steam with the current world game platform to give Zhou Xiao an enlightenment.

“Relying on the foundation that the World Game platform currently occupies half of the market share, and introducing technical support such as 17173’s game information and discussion forums, World Game Accelerator, YY Voice, etc., as long as we develop another scoring and evaluation system, it will be fully operational.

In this way, purchasing, downloading, accelerating, gaming, hacking, discussion, and evaluation form an ecological closed loop. This is the next stage of Century Interactive Entertainment and the most important product in the future. I call it Century Game Center, or for short. CGC.

The ultimate goal is that as long as players log in to CGC, they no longer need to open any other software and websites, making it a one-stop gaming platform.

To this end, Century Interactive Entertainment has established a new CGC business department. You are fully responsible for this project and will build a new CGC platform based on the current World Games platform.

I'll give you one year. "

Zhou Xiao still has some concerns in his eyes, "Even if CGC builds it, other online game manufacturers may not cooperate with us."

"I have also considered this issue. People will definitely not be willing to do it at the beginning. I can play well myself, so why should I join in cooperation? In fact, we can start from the stand-alone field and cooperate with various stand-alone game manufacturers, 4399 Mini Games Also covered, surrounding the cities with the countryside is a great strategy that has been successfully proven in countless cases.”

“To a certain extent, CGC can also be split and transformed into Internet cafe management software by sinking all Internet cafe terminals across the country and directly covering them all.

Then it will not be a matter of planting sycamore trees, but the sycamore trees are all in my hands, and I can only come here if I want to live there.Do you understand? "

If this is the case, the boss will be the well-deserved godfather of games, and as a minister of the dragon, he will definitely leave his name in the history of online game development.

Zhou Xiao forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, "Boss, just look at me."

When the entire conference room was empty, Chen Hao looked at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
His goal is to be the godfather of the Internet, and this is just the beginning.
