Ma Yang packed up his things and went out. He went to a nearby bookstore to buy professional books on game design.
Pei Qian doesn’t know if he can buy it, but with so many big bookstores, he can always find it, right?
In fact, at this time, some shopping platforms had appeared on the Internet, including websites dedicated to selling books.
However, many people have not yet turned this corner, and even some relatively slow students have not opened online banking.
Ma Yang is a more traditional student. When he thinks of buying a book, his first choice is to go to the bookstore and read through some of the content before deciding whether to buy it or not.
Of course, this situation will change dramatically in the next few years.
Pei Qian returned to his bed, opened his laptop, and thought about what to do next.
In the afternoon, Ma Yang came back.
Holding seven or eight books, there is also a large tome inside, about two fingers thick, 16 format, called "Advanced Programming Summary".
There are a bunch of other books besides that.
For example: "Survival Guide Beyond Code", "Program Development Management Guide", "Code Encyclopedia", "Design Patterns" and "Cervical Spondylosis Rehabilitation Guide".
Ma Yang feels that he has gained a lot.
Pei Qian flipped through the books that Ma Yang brought back, and finally focused on the "Cervical Spondylosis Rehabilitation Guide".
You are so prepared!
Have you even considered the possibility of cervical spondylosis in the future?
But the biggest problem faced by programmers is not cervical spondylosis, but death from overwork!
Besides, you are not a programmer!
Before, Pei Qian saw that Ma Yang was so concerned and working so hard on this matter, and almost thought that he had chosen the wrong person.
After looking at the books selected by Ma Yang, Pei Qian was convinced.
Ma Yang is his best partner and he is not running away!
Look, I went all the way out to visit a bookstore and came back with just these few books.
Let’s just say it’s useless. It can’t be said that it’s useless at all. At least it has something to do with it.
Say it’s useful, it’s useful!
Typical wasted work.
Pei Qian patted Ma Yang on the shoulder: "Ma Yang, we are doing design, not programming."
"Besides, do you know that we are making games now? Are you using an editor? ”
“Moreover, with the explosive development of technology, the pace of innovation is so fast that the technologies in these books are already semi-obsolete and are really no longer useful.”
Ma Yang's face turned pale: "I asked why the bookstore is offering a discount! It turns out that it can't be sold!"
"I searched in the bookstore for a long time, but I couldn't find it. These are the books I found on game design. I picked out a few and bought them when I saw them on sale.”
“What can I do? I won’t refund the discounted books!”
Ma Yang was a little panicked.
Pei Qian was completely relieved and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's good if you have this heart. If you feel that you can't buy these books for nothing, then take a look at them. There are still some. "It helps."
Ma Yang felt a little relieved after hearing this: "Do you want to watch it? We can take turns watching it."
Pei Qian's face darkened and he waved his hand quickly. : "No, no, no, no."
Whoever wants to read these books will feel uncomfortable with a pillow!
Ma Yang lay on the bed and opened the thickest book, "Advanced Programming Summary".
After just five minutes of watching, there was a sound of snoring coming from his bed.
Pei Qian was very satisfied.
Well, reliable!
Look at this attitude, 100 points!
Look at this ability again, 0 points!
Isn’t this the designer I’m looking for?
Unfortunately, Pei Qian only knows one person like Ma Yang.
If there were a few more, would Pei Qian not be able to go to heaven? Losing 300,000 yuan, simple!
......
Pei Qian opened the ERSO official editor, and somewhat melancholy ignored the fact that "Lonely Desert Highway" had received thousands more downloads today, and began to study the next step. plan.
As an independent game, popularity often comes and goes quickly.
What's more, a game like "Lonely Desert Highway" has no technical content or sustainable gameplay.
In fact, Pei Qian had similar examples in his previous life. Games with low quality, rough art resources, and boring gameplay became popular due to some special reasons.
However, such examples are actually very few. Among hundreds of similar games, there may only be one or two.
Pei Qian never expected that such a thing could happen to him!
In the next period of time, the popularity of "Lonely Desert Highway" will inevitably decline rapidly, and downloads and revenue will naturally plummet. This is a normal phenomenon.
However, regardless of whether it plummeted or not, this game has actually made money, which is what makes Pei Qian the most uncomfortable.
After learning from the painful experience, Pei Qian decided to change his mind.
This time, we can no longer make independent games, we must change them!
Because in the short term, Tenda Network Technology Co., Ltd. has been tied to the game "Lonely Desert Highway" in the minds of players.
Pei Qian faces a dilemma:
To make a cheating game, he might have to copy the success of "Lonely Desert Highway", even if it is not as popular. Making a little profit would be a devastating blow to Pei Qian;
But if we don’t make a cheating game, but make a serious and normal independent game... maybe players will think that this game is Purchased if the quality is acceptable.
This is so uncomfortable!
What's more, 300,000 is used to make itIndie games are a bit expensive to spend.
How expensive templates and art resources do you need to buy to spend all 300,000? !
Furthermore, after buying these expensive art resources and making the game so beautiful, it might attract a large number of gamers who prefer the appearance, but it’s still a loss!
So, Pei Qian thought about it and decided to temporarily abandon these players who were keen on independent games and change fields.
300,000 is too much for large-scale games.
Although Pei Qian’s goal is to lose money, but again, the finished product of the game must at least be produced.
If the game fails to pass the review, and 300,000 system funds are spent with no results, the system will determine that this is a violation.
So, the money has to be spent and the game has to be made.
Pei Qian rummaged through the official platform and finally determined his goal.
Mobile games!
This is also a last resort choice. On the one hand, the money on hand is not enough to make large-scale games; on the other hand, independent games are not suitable for a short time.
Mobile game players and independent game players are not the same group.
Indie gamers may take a look at this new game because they know the company "Tengda", but mobile gamers will not.
As long as the mobile game you make is rubbish enough, Pei Qian is sure that no one will care about it!
After determining the direction, it is time to do market research.
Pei Qian entered the official game platform, played through all the popular mobile games, and downloaded several popular mobile games to try them out.
Pei Qian has noticed before that in the field of mobile phones, the technology in the parallel world seems to be much faster than in previous lives.
