A very interesting phenomenon is that the more unwilling players are in spending money in the game, the more they are concerned about money given to them by the game.
You can"t play anymore? It doesn"t matter, I"ll send you diamonds. As long as you login today, I will send you 100 diamonds, reach N levels, I will send another 500 diamonds, you leveled up to level 30, I will send…
These players will count the 100 diamonds as 10 yuan and make them think they can get 10 yuan when they login, 50 yuan when they pa.s.s a checkpoint, and 100 yuan when they leveled…
And quitting the game? That"s like losing dozens of yuans every day.
At this time, a large number of players will stay for the money.
Many people might think that this is because these players are poor. If the players have money, they won"t be tempted by tens of yuans.
This kind of thinking is totally wrong.
Whether or not the players care about the money the system gives is only related to their personality, and the vast majority of people care about these.
Chen Mo has seen this kind of local tyrants in his previous world. He has charge over 100,000 in the game, but they are still concerned about the hundreds of diamonds sent by the system every day.
When these players stay due to the money given by them system, they will in fact have already recognize the model of "spending money to buy power", and gradually accepted the exchange relations.h.i.+p between items, diamonds, and real currencies in the game.
After that, these players who didn"t want to spend money might be converted into paid players in a more cost-effective top-up event.
From the first top-up, to a monthly card, to a lifelong card, then to the first large top-up, and will expend more and more money.
It doesn"t matter if you can"t convert them all every time. Even if a player doesn"t charge a penny, he will at least play with the paying players, which is also good for the game"s own environment.
The game companies also welcome these kind of free players who doesn"t spend money at all. As the saying goes, those who have money can support me with money, those without can cheer on me.
Of course, the third kind of fun is based on the first 2 kinds of fun. The players must have full recognition of the gameplay and content before they are willing to be a Pavlov"s dog, and pay for virtual card and combat power in the game.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
It took Chen Mo two days to plan the whole framework of the game. After that, Chen Mo began writing the basic rules doc.u.ment, which took a week to complete.
This time, it is similar to 《Plants vs Zombies》 back then, because the rules of domestic card game seems simple, but it takes a certain amount of time to write a lot of details.
Of course, during this period, the sketch draft of the card concept art has also been made.
The amount of cards is very large, but Chen Mo doesn"t have to finish all of them at once, and he can just go to where the outsourcing artist, and won"t delay too much time.
In addition, Chen Mo also cares about the progress of the concept art and the production of the anime, which have went well. This weekend Guo Feng will give the first episode of 《I am MT》 anime to Chen Mo.
After all the design doc.u.ment were completed, Chen Mo went to find Su Jinyu and ask her to enter all the rules of the design doc.u.ment into the editor and generate the initial project of 《I am MT》.
Su Jinyu and Wen Lingwei have finished coloring four cards respectively. Chen Mo looked at them and h had to admit that they have great skills. The preciseness and beauty of the cards are comparable to the original.
Some details are certainly not exactly the same as the image in his previous world, but it doesn"t matter, such details have little impact.
Su Jinyu received the design doc.u.ments from Chen Mo.
Chen Mo said, "All the design doc.u.ments are here, there is only a bit of the numerical value and level structure, as well as the specific configuration of the card attributes. First, complete the basic rules in the editor, and then slowly add the following content."
Surprised, Su Jinyu said, "All doc.u.ments? Have been completed in a week?!"
No wonder she was surprised. At that time when Chen Mo had asked her to complete the 2 small functions of the new version of 《Plants vs Zombies》, it had took her nearly 2 weeks to write, but now, Chen Mo finished the design doc.u.ments of an entire game this week!
This efficiency is simply cheating!
Chen Mo said, "Open the doc.u.ment and you can ask me the parts that you don"t understand. I will continue doing the numerical values and levels."
Chen Mo simply explained it in a few words and went back to the second floor.
Su Jinyu opened the design doc.u.ment sent by Chen Mo, since she was also very curious. What kind of game Chen Mo will use for such an important bet?
Previously, Chen Mo had arranged the drawing of the cards, and also contacted an anime production company, what exactly does he want to do? Specially the anime production, what does this have to do with the game?
In the current situation, Su Jinyu can"t guess what kind of game Chen Mo wants to make.
Wen Lingwei, Jia Peng and the others also came to look.
Wen Lingwei went to the counter and said, "I"d like to see what kind of game the manager is going to develop."
Jia Peng coughed twice, "Sister, can you really understand this doc.u.ment?"
Wen Lingwei glanced at him, "So what if I can"t understand it? Goldfish, you explain it to me."
Su Jinyu, "…"
She looked through the doc.u.ment one by one.
Interface layout.
Basic combat.
Daily activities.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
In this process, Su Jinyu"s doubts did not decrease at all, but increased instead.
After closing the last doc.u.ment. Su Jinyu was confused.
"That"s it? That"s all? This is too simple! The content of this game seems to be far worse than 《Plants vs Zombies》!" Said Su Jinyu in surprised.
Wen Lingwei frowned, "What"s the matter? Explain, what about the game?"
Jia Peng wiped his sweat, "Though I can"t understand it, but…I always feel that these doc.u.ments doesn"t explain anything. Is the content a little less?"
Su Jinyu opened the basic combat doc.u.ment once more and read the rules again.
On the vertical mobile screen, the players and the enemy occupy six s.p.a.ces respectively(the layout may change slightly when the enemy is a Boss), and launched an attack in sequence starting from the first priority…
Su Jinyu read the combat rules once more.
"Really, that"s all! This is too simple! This is not as good as 《Plants vs Zombies》!"
Su Jinyu couldn"t believe her eyes, let alone how Chen Mo throwing out such a design doc.u.ment so casually
You must know that 《Plants vs Zombies》 is a real-time system, but the new game had downgraded directly into a turn-based system!
There is no problem with turned-based system, but the key is that during battle, it is just a bunch of cards fighting. In the whole process, the players doesn"t need any other operations except changing the card position!
This is simply like a child"s game.
Su Jinyu can"t picture such battle, and she only feel that this is something not to be seen. A bunch of cards fighting? Can you be any more stupid?
Besides, what the h.e.l.l is this VIP system?
VIP 12 unexpectedly needs 500,000 runes?!
Purchasing runes with RMB is 1 yuan for 10 runes, that is to say that it will cost 50,000 yuan to become VIP 12?!
Fifty! Thousand! Yuan!
Su Jinyu doesn"t understand the significance of this move. Who will spend 50,000 yuan in this game?
How many delicious food she can buy with 50,000 yuan?
How many clothes she can buy?
How many movies she can watch!
How many electronics she can buy!
How could anyone spend 50,000 yuan on a game?!
And looking at these VIP privileges!
Increase the number of daily vitality purchase, improved leaders.h.i.+p, and more gameplay! There is even an exclusive VIP pack!
What the h.e.l.l is a recharge reward, why is there a card in the recharge reward? Recharge 20,000 runes to get a special card, Elder Sister!
2,000 yuan, this is simply open robbery!
Su Jinyu can only express her feeling on these design doc.u.ments with, "No f.u.c.k can be said!" (T/N: chinese internet slang, original word here is 无f.u.c.k可说！ which is just “nothing more to say[无话可说}” and just adding “f.u.c.k” to it)
"The manager, although he gambled with others for the monthly turnover, but…his intention is stark naked!"
"No, I have to ask the manager how did this happen!"
Su Jinyu went upstair.
Jia Peng looked at Wen Lingwei, and Wen Lingwei also looked at Jia Peng.
"What do we do now, sister?" Asked Jia Peng.
Wen Lingwei, "I don"t know. Just act as if nothing happened, go back to our home and find out mother. Don"t mix with stuff that you don"t know, and just let Goldfish and Manager fight each other."
Jia Peng, "…"
Why are you looking forward to them fighting!
