It's over.
After listening to Ye Zhizhou's words, Wang Xiaobin basically gave up on the bonus.
If only the players of "War Song Power Enhanced Edition" were asked to rate it, then maybe the reputation would be very good, because this game is very conscientious.
However, TPDb’s scoring rules also include scores from game media and ordinary netizens. These netizens will not play this game in depth at all. They only rely on the third advertisement of “I am Fried Pig Trotters”. Score the first impression. It’s crazy if the score is high.
After Yangyang Games was acquired by Mr. Pei, the first game failed miserably, leaving everyone feeling disgraced.
Is it possible that we really have terminal cancer?
Mr. Pei makes one game that is popular and another, and both have good word-of-mouth sales and double success. Can such a talented producer not be able to lead Shangyang Games?
This is too hard to bear.
"Everyone, come to the conference room. Let me say a few words."
Lin Wan's expression was also a little disappointed. Apparently she had also seen the game data and was very aware of the current situation. How pessimistic.
But unlike others, Lin Wan was not disappointed to the point of depression. He remained calm, as if he had been mentally prepared for this.
When they arrived at the conference room, everyone took their seats.
Lin Wan looked around at everyone and said sincerely: "Everyone should know the data on the first day of our game's launch. It is very pessimistic."
Everyone was silent.
In fact, everyone present is very familiar with this scene, because when the original boss Du Ruijie was here, he often held this kind of pot-sharing + chicken blood conference when the game data was not good.
If there is a problem with the game, and there is a tendency of sudden death when it is launched online, then there must be a big problem in some aspects, and the blame always needs to be divided.
The problem with "The Powerful Enhanced Edition of Hot-Blooded War Song" is that the micro-end approach is wrong.
Although Wang Xiaobin first proposed the idea of micro-clients, everyone unanimously approved it at the meeting, and both Director Lin and President Pei made the decision.
How to divide this pot?
Therefore, this meeting should talk about the division of labor in a few words and quickly enter the most important stage.
The current situation of the game is worrying, and everyone must work overtime to reverse the decline as much as possible.
When the original boss Du Ruijie and the original chief planner Lao Liu were here, they would definitely ask everyone to turn on the 996 liver-breaking mode and make crazy modifications to the game.
Of course, there is no overtime pay. After all, the company is at a critical moment of life and death. It’s okay if you don’t share the difficulties with the company. How can you ask for overtime pay?
A few old employees sighed silently.
After all, it is the company acquired by Mr. Pei, and no structure has been changed. Once there is a problem in the company's operation, it will return to its original taste.
Everyone’s heart sank and they were ready to work overtime in the future.
However, Lin WanThe topic changed: "This is not everyone's fault. You don't have to blame yourself."
Everyone was a little surprised.
Director Lin didn’t want to share the blame?
Although I think this is a good thing, if the game fails, someone has to stand up and take responsibility, right? Someone has to decide how to go in the future, right?
Everyone raised their heads and listened carefully.
Lin Wan continued: "Think about it, Mr. Pei has never made a web game. What he is best at is high-quality stand-alone games. But why did he acquire Yangyang Games, which has been losing money? , why have you been fighting against "Hymn of War", a gold-based game, since you took over Yangyang Games?"
"Just to do something very risky with "Hymn of War"? Do an experiment that no one has ever done before!”
“Mr. Pei hopes that players will no longer be slaves to money. He wants to change the tastes of players so that all players can enjoy it even without paying money. Enjoy the exclusive pleasure of rich players..."
"From game production to promotion, Mr. Pei has always been moving towards this goal."
"We should have done our best long ago. If you are mentally prepared, you may fail if you go against the will."
"I believe that Mr. Pei must have been mentally prepared for this."
Lin Wan. When she first came to Yangyang Games, she was confused about this problem, but later she figured it out.
The purpose of asking Zhang Zuting to shoot advertisements is to attract enough web game players;
The purpose of developing micro-clients, making Tianxuan systems, and cutting down payment points is to cultivate healthy web game players. Spending habits.
Such a motive is certainly noble, but it does go against the nature of web game players. Failure is actually inevitable.
It is not shameful to fail like a hero!
Lin Wan had a firm expression: "So, everyone must not be defeated by this failure. We are not making a web game to make money, we are doing a very noble cause, Regardless of success or failure, each of us is a hero!"
After hearing what Lin Wan said, everyone felt much better.
We are not losers, but heroes who defy the odds!
Director Lin has worked with Mr. Pei for so long and sees problems from a different perspective.
Compared with the original boss Du Ruijie, it is simply a matter of judgment.
Ye Zhizhou was also encouraged, and most of his initial depression has been reduced by now.
However, although morale has been restored, what needs to be done still needs to be done.
"War Song Power Enhanced Edition" does not make money, which is a problem that must be solved.
There are two solutions: one is to relax restrictions and let local tycoons top up the recharge; the other is to increase the current player base several times. As long as there are enough players, everyone can buy stamina potions every day. , which can also make Yangyang Games profitable.
The former is definitely not working, and it took a lot of effort to change it. You can't give up all your efforts when you encounter a little setback.
The only thing we can do is to find ways to expand the player base.
The atmosphere in the conference room became heated, and everyone began to speak freely. Some said they wanted to change the micro-client model, and some said they wanted to make major changes to the game structure. Everyone was very enthusiastic.
Lin Wan listened carefully and said nothing the whole time.
Finally, she shook her head: "It's not good. Our current plan is already the most complete plan, and I think we should stick to it."
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
Are you feeling a little bit stubborn?
According to Director Lin’s previous analysis, she is right to think so.
The micro-end approach was finalized by Mr. Pei, and it has indeed improved the quality of the game. However, cutting off the micro-end will lead to an incoherent game experience, and it still treats the symptoms rather than the root cause, and may not necessarily solve the problem.
That’s true, but is it true that you won’t change it?
According to the current status of the game, there will be no hope if we don’t change it, right? < /p>
Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin looked at each other, and they could feel that Director Lin's attitude was very firm.
In this case, the others had nothing to say. After the meeting, they had to go back to their workstations to do their own things and wait patiently for a week.
If things get better after a week, everything will be fine.
If it doesn’t get better...then I’m afraid we will have to make major changes.
Back in her office, Lin Wan also felt a little headache.
Although she boosted morale at the meeting and acted resolutely, she still felt unsure.
"In the past two days, take time to go back to see Mr. Pei and ask him for advice in person."
......
......
< p>Friday, September 3rd.Pei Qian is checking the TPDb website in the office.
The website template was purchased, so the initial version was quickly developed.
Although it is still in the test phase, the current TPDb website is already in its prototype form and is almost ready for use.
Specialized staff are discussing cooperation with other websites, and part of it has been completed.
For example, in terms of media ratings, we need to discuss cooperation with some game media; in terms of player ratings, we need to use data from the ESRO official platform; at the same time, the URL of the TPDb website will also be updated to the game details page. In this way, players can click in and rate each game through the details page.
These experience optimization contents are quite long-term work and cannot be accomplished overnight.
At present, the number of visits to TPDb is still very low, most of which are from Tencent.There are interviews with internal employees, as well as players from several games.
Because it is so poorly known, it has not even sparked much discussion.
Pei Qian is looking at the rating data of "The Power of the War Song".
Currently, the total score of this game is 7.2 points. Among them, the consumer score and the netizen score are in a state of polarization. The consumer score has reached 9.1 points, while the netizen score is only a pitiful 4.3 points. .
This also means that players who actually spend money on this game are very satisfied with the game.
Most of the ratings from netizens are due to Zhang Zuting’s advertisement.
These people did not actually play the game. They may have accidentally clicked on the game's official website, saw the TPDb website from the official website, and then gave a one-star negative review.
Although the weight of these people is not high, after all, the current voting base is too low, so the ratings are still in a period of drastic changes.
According to regulations, a score of 6 to 7 is a C evaluation, and the bonus is 1% of the project investment. If the score is below 6, there is no bonus.
A total score of 7.2 can only be regarded as a B evaluation, and the bonus is 5% of the project investment.
A score of 8 or above is an A rating, with a bonus of 10%; a score of 9 or above is an S rating, with a bonus of 15%.
Approximately 8 million yuan was invested in "The Power of the War Song". Based on 5% calculation, the project team can get a bonus of about 400,000 yuan, which is less than 10,000 yuan per person.
Pei Qian still feels a little regretful about this result.
Everyone tried their best to kill 8 million for me, so I gave everyone a bonus of 400,000. It seems a bit unreasonable.
But the rules of TPDb have been set, and even Mr. Pei cannot operate in secret.
"It would be great if the rating of this game reaches 8, and we can spend an additional 400,000."
Pei Qian knows very well that the low rating cannot be blamed on Yangyang Games. Everyone believes that the game itself is very conscientious and deserves a high rating. However, many netizens are disgusted with this advertisement and retaliated by giving low scores without playing the game, which lowered the overall rating.
But there is no need to rush, because there is still time.
There aren’t many users on TPDb right now, so the ratings will fluctuate quite dramatically. Maybe the netizen ratings of “Blooded War Song Power Enhanced Edition” will increase over time.
......
Lin Wan knocked on the door of Mr. Pei's office with some anxiety.
Although the key design of this game was approved by President Pei, the current situation really made Lin Wan feel unsure.
Although she was confident in front of everyone at Yangyang Games, she still felt unsure when she really wanted to see Mr. Pei.
"Please come in."
Lin Wan calmed down and pushed the door open.
She came here to make her decisionI will make a report and hope to gain Mr. Pei’s support.
Of course, as the revenue data of the game was so poor at launch, Lin Wan, as the director, was also mentally prepared to be held accountable.
However, after seeing Lin Wan, Mr. Pei had a faint smile on his face, an expression of joy from the bottom of his heart, as if he was welcoming a great hero!
