As for the current game industry environment, it is basically similar to the situation in Pei Qian's previous life in 2009.
For example, the most popular online games at present have changed from Yamaguchi Mountain to "Fantasy World", CS has become "Anti-Terrorism Plan", DOTA has become "Shenqi", the packaging is different, but The gameplay is quite different.
Mobile games have improved significantly. This may be because hardware development is faster than in previous generations.
For example, Pei Qian’s mobile card game in his previous life benefited from the popularization of smartphones and only appeared in 2012. In the parallel world, since smartphones appeared earlier, similar games had already appeared around 2008. Games are now a very mature game type.
"In this case, the situation is very clear."
"I only need to spend money to purchase templates and art resources on the resource site, spending all 50,000 yuan. Then, no one played the game and it couldn't be sold. After two weeks, it was equivalent to a total loss. "Perfect!"
Pei Qian made up his mind and started investing in resources. Search the site for the template you want.
"Driving simulation basic template, 20,000, comes with a set of vehicle interior and exterior textures."
"Scene template, desert highway template, if you need dynamic environmental changes, you need to add 8,000 , a total of 23,000.”
“It’s a bit expensive, but I just want it!”
“I still have some money left.”
"Radio music, you can choose 30 music out of 100, or the system will randomly play it in the music library, 6000."
"There are 1,000 yuan left, um... buy a simple ranking function, I can’t afford anything else.”
After thinking about it for a while, Pei Qian frantically placed orders on the resource site and quickly spent all 50,000 yuan.
These resources are honestly not expensive.
For example, if you add this basic driving simulation template to the game editor, you can realize the basic functions of the driving simulation game.
Accelerator, brake, cornering, collision, etc. are all available.
As for the desert road scene, the length of the journey can be freely adjusted in the editor, and there will be some random changes in the desert scene.
After adding the environmental change simulation function, there will be environmental changes such as sunrise, sunset, wind and sand.
Because they are all universal templates, many independent game producers will also buy them and use them, so it is 100% likely that they will get stuck.
In order not to offend, some producers will customize some art resources for replacement. Of course, in that case, investment will continue to increase.
But Pei Qian doesn't care about this.
Confrontation? Hit it! Anyway, I am here to lose money, and I don’t want players to stop playing this game because they are in trouble!
Pei Qian started making games.
Although it will cost money, this game must at least pass the ESRO review.and successfully launched.
If it is a semi-finished product with serious missing functions, it will not pass ESRO's review, and the system may determine that Pei Qian violated the regulations.
So, no matter how deceptive the game is, the basic functions must be complete.
Drag the basic template into the editor, and then drag the scene template into it.
Then the big framework of the game is ready. After players enter the game, they can drive on the desert highway.
However, the purchased resources cannot be wasted.
Pei Qian added a radio function to the vehicle. Players can turn on the radio and listen to some random music while driving.
They are all niche music or very traditional classic music. It is impossible to buy those popular songs for this amount of money.
The next step is a more critical question.
What is the core gameplay of this game?
Pei Qian himself doesn’t know.
Speed race?
Stop making trouble, there is no money to do it.
I can only afford a basic template, a car texture, and a scene.
Those complicated tracks, beautiful cars, and racing-related gameplay programs are all beyond our reach!
How to play if you can’t afford it?
Pei Qian patted his head and said yes.
The core gameplay of the game is very simple, just drive!
Drive from the starting point to the end point and you have passed the level!
But this alone is not enough. It is all pieced together with common resources and there is no gameplay innovation at all. It is estimated that it will be difficult to pass the review.
Some changes must be made to ensure that the game can pass the review; but this change cannot be too good, and it must ensure that the game can lose money and no one will play it!
Pei Qian thought for a moment and stretched out the desert track scene infinitely.
The entire game is 8 hours long!
Yes, players need to drive on this road for 8 hours to reach the end point, and during this period, the desert road will turn every once in a while.
It is impossible for players to pass the level by pressing only one button.
In this way, the gameplay will be different from the general driving simulation games on the market, and it should be able to pass the review.
Moreover, such a cheating gameplay should not be scolded by the players? This game can only make money!
Pei Qian was very excited and felt like a genius.
Finally, I used a very simple method to create a game clearance interface, which just displays one line of text: "Congratulations, you have successfully wasted 8 precious hours of your life!"
Even if someone does manage to pass the level, he has to be so angry that he never plays my company's games again!
Don’t waste the ranking function you purchased. Make a “time-wasting ranking list” and count the “number of clearances” and “effective game time” of each player.”.
This ranking list is of no use. It is just to arrange the functions that are purchased with money.
Three times five divided by two, it was completed quickly.
p>
These functions are all basic among the functions supported by the editor. You only need to perform some simple operations of dragging and changing parameters, and you can almost teach yourself to edit.
It takes less than two hours to play a device, buy resources, and create a game.
“I’m going to lose money on such a mentally retarded game! "
Pei Qian finished the game and tried running it on his computer.
Then he quit the game in five minutes and almost vomited.
Go in and drive, drive, drive, bored to death!
Pei Qian was very satisfied and immediately released the game.
>Game introduction: Driving alone on a desert road for a few hours, you will get some thoughts about life.
Pei Qian was very confused when writing the introduction.
p>It’s not appropriate to brag about yourself. What if you really attract a group of headliners and lose money?
It’s not appropriate to brag about yourself. That’s too obvious. On the one hand, I’m worried. What should I do if the system determines that it is a violation, and on the other hand, it will stimulate the player's rebellious psychology. The more you say this game is rubbish, the more he will want to play it.
So, write an introduction honestly and let the players take a look at it. Just don’t be interested!
Then there’s the price.
Pei Qian set a price of 1 yuan.
He didn’t want to set the price too high. , in case it must be too high, if a few second-rate guys bought it out of the blue, wouldn't he lose less money?
The price is low enough, even if there are dozens of players buying it, it will be a big deal for Pei! Qian's loss has no impact.
After everything is done, Pei Qian uploads the game and waits for the game to be approved and automatically put on the official game platform.
This process is generally speaking. It ranges from a few hours to two or three days.
The official platform has a fully automatic recommendation effect. The same batch of new games will be automatically recommended based on changes in data. Unless there is malicious brushing, the managers will not. Intervention.
Pei Qian is not worried at all.
For such a rubbish game, no one will care about it after it is released. Once the two weeks are up, it will be gone. Wouldn’t it be great to get 10,000 yuan?
Pei Qian closed his laptop and felt relaxed and happy!
