Du Jianghai successfully entered Zhu Jiutian's attention with "Health Guard War" and became the main designer.
The change in status did not make him get carried away. He still humbly learned from his original intention, and actively communicated with Niu Gan and the leaders of the project team at work. Although the speed was not fast, the development of the game was progressing smoothly and steadily.
Zhu Jiutian's requirements for him as the new chief designer are still very relaxed, and he gave the game a delivery time of the end of April.
But the development of the game went very smoothly, and it passed the final test on the last day of March.
After receiving the news, Zhu Jiutian was both happy and worried. Delivering the game early is certainly a good thing, but Zhu Jiutian was still worried that it would be easy to make mistakes if the new game was made so quickly.
After asking Du Jianghai and receiving repeated assurances from Du Jianghai, he felt relieved.
Originally, when Gu Feng was working on April Fool's Day, Du Jianghai consulted Zhu Jiutian whether he should follow his example and do the same. Players thought it was a joke. When the new game is released, it will definitely give players a surprise.
But after hesitating for a long time, Zhu Jiutian gave up. Not only did he give up his plan to announce the news in advance, he also asked Du Jianghai to wait for the news of his original intention. If "Plants vs. Zombies" is really updated, "Health Guard" will have to make way for another day to be released.
.
Although Du Jianghai felt a little unhappy at the time, he understood Zhu Jiutian's approach.
This is just like when Mr. Guan asked Hua Xiong to fight. If there was really no one available and Cao Cao's recommendation, the alliance leader Yuan Shao would definitely not let a mere horse archer go up to meet the enemy. After all, General Pan Feng was already seen.
That’s it.
And now, Du Jianghai has proved himself like Zhu Jiutian with his achievements, proving that he is indeed trustworthy.
In fact, "Health Guard War" has achieved good results on the first day of release, with a rating of 9.4 and sales of 930,000 on the first day.
Although this is still far behind "Plants vs. Zombies"'s first-day sales of 1.21 million and a rating of 9.8, it is definitely not bad.
Originally, Zhu Jiutian was worried that his performance would be the peak after his debut, and he was afraid that it would be like a garden game, where he would laugh happily at first, but cry miserably after two days.
But it turns out that the results achieved on the first day of "Health Guard War" were still deceived by Longteng's own past reputation. As more and more players have played the game, in half a month, the game's upward momentum in the first week was very strong.
, although the upward momentum gradually slowed down in the following week, it has remained relatively stable.
Until now, the game's rating has reached 9.6, and sales have successfully exceeded the 10 million mark this morning.
From the feedback from players, we can see that the reason why the game's score is stuck at 9.6 and it is difficult to move forward is actually mainly due to the influence of "Plants vs. Zombies".
After all, although "Health Guard" only borrowed some of the excellent design concepts from "Plants vs. Zombies", even Gu Feng believed that this was not plagiarism at all.
But players are not professional game producers, and players' evaluation of a game is also very subjective. "Plants vs. Zombies" has only been released for four months, and Longteng has released a game with similar gameplay to "Plants vs. Zombies". Some players
Naturally, they will think you are plagiarizing.
Although the copying is not so obvious this time, it is not surprising that you, Long Teng, would do such a thing, not to mention that there was a record of Huayuan Xiaoxiao Le just a few months ago. Therefore, even if some players rarely speak for Long Teng, even if their original intentions are right
Without expressing any attitude, these players still insist that this game is plagiarism.
In this way, it is not surprising that the game's ratings are affected. Du Jianghai even feels that the dissatisfied players have always maintained a certain degree of restraint, largely because the game has a popular science aspect.
After confirming that the game was indeed successful and nothing would happen again, Zhu Jiucai finally called Du Jianghai into his office.
Seeing Du Jianghai who was a little reserved at the door, Zhu Jiutian stood up with a smile and walked up with a pleasant look.
"Haha! The great hero is here! Don't be restrained, come in and sit wherever you like!"
Du Jianghai actually relaxed a lot after hearing this. He was nervous because it was his first time back to the chairman's office, and because Zhu Jiutian's nickname of Smiling Tiger was well-known in Longteng.
But if you think about it carefully, now that "Health Guard War" has done so well and has just exceeded 10 million sales, Du Jianghai, let alone a smiling tiger, even if he is a living hell, calling him to the office cannot be for any bad reasons.
The two chatted casually, and Zhu Jiutian fell in love with Du Jianghai more and more.
This is the first time that Longteng has made a game with a score of 9.6 since its establishment. Although it has always been a pleasure to make money while getting scolded, but if possible, who wouldn’t want to make money without getting scolded?
Woolen cloth?
Seeing the young neighbor next door making a lot of money while being popular, Zhu Jiutian is also actively reflecting on it. After all, as a businessman, he actually understands the importance of good reputation for a brand better than others.
In the past, everyone was showing off. If there was no comparison, there would be no harm. Anyway, everyone was scolded together. If everyone was scolded, doesn't it mean that no one was scolded?
What's more, in Zhu Jiutian's understanding at that time, if you want to make money in games, it is inevitable that you will get scolded. It's just a matter of getting scolded more or less, so he didn't think there was any problem with the situation in the past.
But things are different now. Someone has proven that you can make money while making games while receiving praise. If Longteng does not take the initiative to seek changes and continues to be content with the status quo and continue to suck, then if there are better choices, players will one day
will abandon them.
Especially when the "Pokémon" novel was released, those rich players were eager to throw their money away. The bully behavior on Gu Feng's face made him tremble with envy.
This is a scene he could only see in his dreams! This is the highest level of making money!
It was also from this moment on that Zhu Jiutian truly strengthened his belief in changing.
The appearance of Du Jianghai was his first step in changing Long Teng.
In the past, if a young person under 30 wanted to be a chief designer? Don’t even think about it.
But the only three designers who originally worked for the company were all young people under 30.
It is true that older people are more mature and stable, but the daring to think and act and the fearless courage of young people cannot be compared to those born in the 80s and 70s.
In this industry where creativity and imagination win, it seems that youth and games can produce a better chemical reaction when they come together.
Now that Du Jianghai had achieved it, Zhu Jiutian, who was determined to seek change, did not be stingy with his reward.
Du Jianghai became Longteng's first chief designer under the age of 30. Compared with the previous few months, he only had a title, but did not enjoy the treatment that this profession deserves. Now he has truly succeeded in changing jobs, and his salary is natural.
So I just let nature take its course and turned somersaults twice. After a day's separation, things are different now.
Rewards were given, and new tasks followed.
Summarize the successful experience of "Bubble Hall" and share the ppt with others at the high-level meeting next Monday.
Rather than saying that this was a test for him, it was better to say that Zhu Jiutian gave him an opportunity to show off his abilities in front of other senior officials.
In addition, he also had a task for his next game. Zhu Jiutian did not ask him to copy "Bubble Hall", but asked him to make a new game suitable for bringing girls to play black games, and there was nothing else.
The restriction gives him enough autonomy.
It’s just that when the game design draft is released, it still needs to be reviewed by Zhu Jiutian in person.
After Du Jianghai returned, he began to continue studying "Bubble Hall". After all, it is the pioneering game of bringing girls together. If you don't learn from it, who can you learn from it?
