7 Chapter 7: I'm Not a Cat Slave
In order to retain Luo Shuai, Wang Jian revealed a little bit about the game content of "Demon King".
Even if it was just a little bit of content, Luo Shuai was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide, and he could barely shove a hot dog.
After a long while, he said excitedly: "Boss, your brain is too genius! How did you come up with such an idea? As a game veteran, I have played a lot of word games before, but I never thought that I could do this!"
Wang Jian raised his eyebrows: "Is this called my boss?"
Luo Shuai laughed and said: "I think it should be very promising to mix with you!"
After looking at it, only I can see the task bar, and the task of retaining employees shows that it has been completed.
As expected by Wang Jian, the new idea of "The Demon King" is very attractive to people like Luo Shuai who like games.

Looking at his talent as a cat slave, Wang Jian couldn't help laughing.
Turning his gaze to Luo Shuai, it really showed his information.

Wang Jian nodded secretly: "Being able to see the talents of the employees can make better use of their strengths."
Next, discuss with Luo Shuai about the development.
There really isn't much to say about the making of the game.
There are several mature frameworks for word games on the market, all of which are free and open, and can be used by any game maker.
Just let Luo Shuai make a little modification, the technical difficulty is very low.
The main work is still drawing, there are about twenty kinds of characters and monsters, and more than ten different backgrounds.
Wang Jian is going to act as an artist temporarily, drawing by himself.
At Galaxy Game University, his major is planning, but he has also taken courses on game art.
Although his drawing level is average, the selling point of "The Demon King" is mainly brain holes, and the style of his own art is also simple, so it is not a problem.
The production difficulty marked on the game planning book is 5, which is basically the level that a beginner rookie can make.
Luo Shuai asked, "There is no equipment in the studio now. I'll bring my own computer to make do with it tomorrow, right?"
Wang Jian is helpless: "I can only do this first. My funds are not very abundant at present."
Luo Shuai is very optimistic: "Boss, don't worry,
"The Demon King" will definitely be popular, and we will have money when we finish it. "
Wang Jian patted Luo Shuai on the shoulder and encouraged: "When I make money, I will give you a big red envelope!"
After a brief assignment of tasks, the two discussed the issue of game profitability.
"The Demon King is really not a good reference for the prices of other text adventure games." Luo Shuai was a little troubled.
"A love word game with excellent script and excellent art, the price is generally 50 yuan. Although "The Devil" has all kinds of interesting brain holes, the content is relatively small and not refined enough, and the price is too high to be appropriate. We set the price How about 3 Hua Yuan?"
As for how to make a profit, Wang Jian already has a preliminary idea.
He asked Luo Shuai, "If you were a player, how would you react after playing "The Demon King"?"
Luo Shuai thought for a while and said: "Probably thinking 'Fuck, you can still play like this', and then I will complain to everyone in the game group, and I am curious to go to the comment area to see what other people think."
Wang Jian nodded: "The gameplay of "Demon King" is innovative. Players who are exposed to such a game for the first time are very likely to arouse the desire to complain and actively promote it to their friends. That is to say, "Demon King" has a viral spread. potential.
It is better to play directly for free, which can better stimulate the spread potential of "The Devil" and make money with paid advertising. "
Luo Shuai Mingwu: "Free game plus advertising payment is really suitable. I should not treat "Demon King" as a traditional text adventure game."
Wang Jian explained his thoughts in detail.
In "The Demon King", there are a total of 12 levels and 30 endings.
In addition to the final ending of the game, each different death method in the process of breaking through the level represents an ending, each with its own characteristics.
For example, in the first level, if the player clicks on the special slime hidden among the ordinary slimes, the ending "Slime stronger than the devil" will be triggered.
In each level, players may have to experience several failures in order to try out the correct way to pass the level.
Wang Jian is taking into account this feature of the game and is ready to use the payment method of rewarded video.
Incentive video means that users can get some rewards after watching the video, such as in-game currency, store props, or reduce the time to open the box.
This method can make players willing to accept or even actively seek advertisements, and players can improve the retention rate of the game itself while obtaining value-added services for free.
At present, the lowest price of this type of incentive advertisement is 30-50 yuan per thousand impressions, and the highest price is 200 yuan per thousand impressions.
The higher the popularity of the game, the higher the price placed by advertisers.
Wang Jian's plan is to give the player 10 hearts at the beginning of the game.
A heart represents an opportunity, and one will be automatically recovered in an hour.
Every time you fail, you lose a heart.
If you have no heart, and don't want to wait for automatic recovery, you can directly fill your heart by watching a video ad.
Under all kinds of unavoidable brain holes, if players want to complete the level, they will fail 30 times at least, that is, they will click on the advertisement three times.
At this time, only half of the endings are generally unlocked.
The higher pursuit after customs clearance is naturally to collect all endings.
Some endings are hidden deeper, and it takes about a hundred or even more attempts to collect all of them.
Let's say, on average, each player clicks on an ad 5 times.
If the game has 10,000 downloads, calculated at 50 yuan/thousand times, you can earn 2,500 yuan.
If the game has 100,000 downloads, calculated at 100 yuan/thousand times, the income is 50,000 yuan, which is enough to pay the studio rent.
If the game has 1 million downloads... tsk, that's a real skyrocket.
Of course, this is an ideal calculation method, and the popularity of the game changes at any time.
...
Although I really want to start construction today, the studio has no equipment, and time is not allowed.
The two made an appointment to meet tomorrow morning!
When Wang Jian returned to the rented place, lying on the bed, thinking about everything that happened today, he couldn't help feeling a little dreamlike.
The excitement didn't dissipate until two or three in the morning.
Before falling asleep, I stumbled upon an idea.
Seems like you forgot something important? Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow...
