Chapter 36 Word Game

Lai Yiming looked at the expression of being eager for knowledge and sneered.

Do you really think I will give you another open-book test?!

Last time, he used his experience in two lives to create a game that was completely opposite to the popular game in the world, but it turned out to be a hit.

After a simple analysis, several main reasons were screened out.

1. The game quality is good and can retain customers.

2. The gameplay is innovative and aroused the interest of players.

3. Being neglected to prevent the employees from exploiting loopholes and successfully attracting traffic.

At present, the biggest problem is that the popularity of "Talkfulness" will continue to bring good benefits to the company. Moreover, for the battle royale game, there are good places to change in the future, and any rash changes may arouse players' greater enthusiasm for paying.

Therefore, Lai Yiming decided to deal with "Talkfulness" in a cold manner, without paying attention, updating, or adjusting, so that the wave can slowly dissipate.

At the same time, spend money on new projects and learn from the above experience.

This time, Lai Yiming was not planning to follow up the whole process, but was preparing to give a life-threatening essay!

He looked around and said slowly, "This time, we are going to make a game!"

“I don’t plan to participate in it myself…”

"But I have a few requests!"

Everyone in the conference room was stunned and showed a fanatical expression.

Mr. Lai completely delegates power!

Project independent development!

Isn’t this the best opportunity to prove his worth in front of Mr. Lai?

But since you are playing games, you have to have a direction. Moreover, the few requirements mentioned by Mr. Lai made everyone feel a sense of uneasiness?

So people held paper and pen, and were concentrating on waiting for Lai Yiming's request.

Lai Yiming smiled slightly and told the story.

"My request is very simple. First, we need to make a stand-alone game. The game needs to have sufficient freedom. Players can make different choices in the game and come up with different endings, but the ending must be tragic."

"Secondly, I require this game to be a text type game, and there are no exquisite animations and character modeling. Of course, some illustrations and sound effects can be added."

"Third, money must be spent on the edge. This time, it is different from the past. Since it is a word game, the funds for project research and development are excluded, and all the cash flows of "Talkish" profits are spent on publicity fees."

"Just these few requirements, you can ask any questions at any time."

Everyone didn't say anything, staring at the notebook in their hands blankly, and fell into a state of madness.

Lai Yiming laughed wildly inside, feeling the pleasure of making a topic and writing for the first time.

Still happy?

Still happy?

Do you really think the essays I made for the topics are so easy to do?!

Domestic stand-alone games are originally a magic pit series, and they are also text games. They have no audience and no exquisite animation support. It is like breaking your arms and legs. What do you use to attract players and what do you use to make money?

The most important thing is that the ending requirement must be tragic, and the game will definitely not be fun!

A non-fun game, coupled with overwhelming publicity, is like making a piece of slurry, wrapping a layer of milk, frying it in a pan and then selling it to everyone.

The player was angry and smashed his golden signboard in just a few strokes.

After being scolded, it was so beautiful to make a ball with "Talkfulness"!

Of course, Lai Yiming would definitely not say this to his own people, he just needs to say it in another way.

Ma Baolin raised his hand and signaled: "Mr. Lai, I probably understand what you said, but what I want to ask is, if this game is not added to animation, is it an adventure stand-alone word game? Is it similar to the Brave Fighting Demon Dragon?"

The game of the Brave Fighting Demon Dragon is a product produced by the older generation due to insufficient game engine power.

This kind of game has no exquisite pictures, only simple illustrations and a large amount of text narrative, showing the whole picture of the entire game.

In Ma Baolin's understanding, with the improvement of game company engines and technology, this low-pixel game similar to GBA has no selling point in the current market.

Lai Yiming shook his head: "No."

The Dragon Quest pixel game, adding a few lines of code, doesn’t require a company to manage it. You can find a fresh graduate college student to do it. How much money can it cost?

Although the daily profit of the money tree "Talkful" has slightly decreased, it will cost about 10 million yuan in one month, but in two months it will cost 20 million yuan.

Lai Yiming has made full plans and will start to promote in advance from now on. Through various media, platform promotion, and new media promotion, it will be 7.5 million yuan per month.

Lai Yiming estimated that the expenses of the new game would be 5 million, so that the company could barely suffer losses!

"Although we don't do animations in this game, the illustrations, sound effects and music of this text game must all be up to the highest specifications, and have very high degrees of freedom, and are displayed to players in the tree-shaped branch mode!"

Ma Baolin was stunned, and everyone was confused.

They have never heard of any game's architecture in a tree diagram mode!

This is not a report work, so what's the use of doing this?!

"Mr. Lai, then... why must the ending be tragic?" Ma Baolin hesitated for a moment and continued to ask.

If the ending is not tragic, would you be responsible for the game becoming popular?

Lai Yiming looked at Ma Baolin with disgust: "The tragic ending is sometimes more convenient for players to think about life!"

"We want to package this game into a work of art, so that players can't let go of it, and then fully bring their own values, and finally give them a fatal blow with the ending!"

"This time, because it is different from the nature of the game in the past, the purpose is to make players think about life, so the publicity budget is relaxed."

"After one week the game is launched, the media, and the player group will start to promote and promote. There is no limit on publicity, no budget cap, come to me at any time if you are short of money, do you understand?" Lai Yiming looked at Ma Baolin with encouragement.

Ma Baolin nodded suddenly: "Don't worry, Mr. Lai, I understand!"

After saying that, he added a question with some stammering silence: "Mr. Lai, after the inspiration income generation system is implemented, what should we do if employees cannot complete their original job?"

After the implementation of the inspiration income-generating system, he felt that the efficiency of daily work would likely decline and was also very worried that it would affect the overall progress of the project.

Lai Yiming thought for a while and nodded, "What you said makes sense. The inspiration income-generating system must be implemented, but the overall progress of the project must not be delayed."

"Since that's the case, wouldn't it be better to recruit more people?"
Chapter completed!
