Soon, other people in the dormitory also raised similar questions.
"How come this game only sells one kind of product in the mall?"
"Only 30 yuan of recharge is allowed?"
"And buy After that, it’s just one more chance to draw ten times a day, so it doesn’t seem to be useful?”
“What about the noble system? “Q Meng Three Kingdoms” has been opened to noble 8!”
Everyone looked at Ruan Guangjian.
But Ruan Guangjian doesn’t know it himself!
He thought for a while: "I don't know what the situation is. How about I ask Mr. Pei a little bit. Maybe there are some special considerations, or maybe this game is not the official version yet?"
Ruan Guangjian was very puzzled and left a message to Pei Qian through the contact information on the resource site.
"Mr. Pei, I see there is no noble system in this game, and there is only one product in the mall. Is it because the game is still in the testing stage? It should be added to the official version, right?"
Not long after, Pei Qian replied.
"This is the official version."
Ruan Guangjian was shocked: "Then...where are the things in the mall?"
Pei Qian: "Our game We only sell this lifetime card, and we don’t plan to launch new products in the future.”
Ruan Guangjian: “Why?”
Pei Qian: “Why? Our pricing strategy is based on a buyout system. Players have already spent ten yuan to buy our game, so how can they make too many in-app purchases?”
“Actually, I originally planned to do this. The 30-yuan lifetime card is not for sale, but after thinking about it, some players might still need it, so I added it.”
Ruan Guangjian was completely shocked and didn’t know what he should say for a long time. .
Mr. Pei has such a conscience! !
The krypton gold ceiling in "Q Meng Three Kingdoms" is nearly 1,000 yuan. Only the krypton gold rich can obtain those extremely precious and rare cards, while ordinary players often need a long time to get a purple card. Card.
But here in "Ghost General", everyone is almost equal, the only difference is a 30 yuan lifetime card!
In "Q Meng Three Kingdoms", this money is not enough to draw ten consecutive draws at once!
Ruan Guangjian suddenly felt that he was judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
He thought Pei Qian had not implemented the krypton gold system for the time being because the game was not yet completed, or for some other reason.
But after asking this question, I found out that Pei Qian did not consider making a krypton gold system at all. He wanted to make a very fair mobile card game!
He wants ordinary players to enjoy the fun of drawing rare cards!
Ruan Guangjian's eyes were moist. He even felt that asking Pei Qian 3,000 yuan for a set of original paintings was a bit excessive.
If a designer with such ideals and character produces original paintings, he should be given a discount!
Ruan Guangjian thought of another question and asked quickly: "Mr. Pei, I have another question. I think the download data of this game is very poor. Is it because it has not been promoted yet?"
Pei Qian: "Promotion? Well, there is no promotion."
Ruan Guangjian was stunned: "Why is there no promotion?!"
You have made a game but not promoted it. Why?
Good wine is also afraid of deep alleys. If you don’t promote it, how will players know about your game?
Pei Qian: "Because I have no money, I have invested a total of 300,000 in this game, buying templates, art resources, music and sound effects, renting cloud servers... basically all of it has been spent."
Ruan Guangjian was so moved that he cried.
What kind of spirit is this!
Ruan Guangjian still remembers that Pei Qian was very wealthy when he bought the original painting!
Originally, Ruan Guangjian offered 2,000 yuan for four original paintings. However, Pei Qian felt that Ruan Guangjian had to work hard to design, so he felt sorry for only being offered 2,000 yuan, so he forcibly increased the price to 3,000 yuan.
At that time, Ruan Guangjian thought that Tenda Network Technology Co., Ltd. was a wealthy company and did not care about the tens of thousands of dollars.
But now it seems that this is not the case at all!
Tengda doesn’t have that much money at all, with a total R&D fund of only 300,000. It rushes to make a card mobile game and has no extra funds for publicity and distribution!
After careful calculation, this is unexpected, but it is also reasonable.
Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd. has only launched one game before, which is "Lonely Desert Highway". Although this game has become a small hit, the price is only 1 yuan. How much can you earn?
It is easy to run out of money to invest in the development of a second game now.
Even though R&D funds are so tight, Mr. Pei did not have the heart to take advantage of the original painting when discussing it. Instead, he proposed a relatively fair price that both parties felt was reasonable...
Justice , so generous!
Ruan Guangjian suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Maybe if he asked for a little less money, would Mr. Pei be able to squeeze out some publicity funds?
But Ruan Guangjian couldn't mention it, because he knew that with Mr. Pei's character, he would definitely not ask for this money, and after all, he was the boss of a company, and he was a person who wanted to save face.
Ruan Guangjian suddenly felt blocked and uncomfortable.
Such a conscientious game will be buried without publicity funds.
This is such an uncomfortable thing!
"Brothers, I think "Ghost General" needs us now."
Ruan Guangjian told his speculations to the brothers in the dormitory.
Lao Huang and others were also shocked.
“Is this game really so conscientious that it doesn’t intend to make money?”
“It’s not that it doesn’t intend to make money.Make money, start a company and make games, how can anyone not plan to make money? I think Pei always has noble aspirations and doesn't want to make those dirty money! "
"That's right. If you don't make money, Mr. Pei might as well make the game completely free. He still wanted to make money while standing by relying on the buyout fee of ten yuan per person! ”
“It feels very difficult. No matter how conscientious the game is, it will never become popular without early publicity! "
"How about we make tap water! "
"Tap water is not impossible, but just the few of us... it's of no use. If we were big Vs or popular video bloggers, of course we could go to tap water, but we don’t have these resources. ”
A few people fell into deep thought.
Lao Huang and others were also persuaded by Ruan Guangjian, and they all felt that such a conscientious game as "Ghost General" must not be buried, otherwise it would definitely It is a huge loss to the domestic mobile game market!
However, after thinking about it, there is no good way.
There is no way to post "Ghost Sword" online. "Good game," right? That would be too inefficient, and your work might be in vain.
Suddenly, Ruan Guangjian slapped his thigh: "Yes!" I have a group with some well-known painters in it. I went to ask them to see if they could help me find a solution. ”
Old Huang was stunned: “You still have such a group?” Why didn't I know earlier? ”
“Hey, it’s a long story. "
Ruan Guangjian turned on the computer and said: "Last year, I went to work part-time in a concept art competition. At that time, I met Teacher Chen Qi. I showed him my work, and he admired it very much, so he encouraged me to develop more in this direction and even pulled me into a group. ”
He paused and then said: “Unfortunately, this group is full of big guys in the industry. I am too embarrassed to speak, so I have been diving silently until now. ”
