Chapter 572 New Game Pricing; New Game Better Than the Original Story
Chapter 572 New Game Pricing; New Game Better Than the Original Story
"I'll deduct 666 for you, it's amazing."
[Happy Game] is so powerful, Tian Wenwen applauded.
Now that you are satisfied with the game, it is easy to handle.
Next comes a discussion on game pricing.
"The computer terminal is priced at 49 yuan, and the mobile terminal is priced at 4.9 yuan."
This is the official guidance and suggestion given by the [Happy Game] Operations Department.
"Why is there such a big price difference?"
Tian Wenwen was puzzled after reading it.
"First of all, there is a big difference in development costs, followed by marketing, promotion, and even the cost of later DLC."
The person in charge of the operation department explained: "The client game version of "My Brother, President" uses an interactive animation movie type, and the cost is no less than a mature 16-bit console game."
"And we have to pay the upfront expenses for marketing and promotion of this game to expand more user bases, so as to share the cost and achieve profitability."
"As for the DLC version that needs to be updated later, you can understand it as writing a few episodes after the finale, which will help us do promotional activities and earn word of mouth."
Oh!
Tian Wenwen nodded half understanding.
She couldn't understand some terms in it, after all, she was just a small author.
It just feels like the cost is quite high.
After thinking about it, he asked again, "What about the mobile version?"
Since the cost of the client game version of "My Brother President" is so complicated, why is the mobile version priced at 4.9 yuan?
"The mobile version was developed just by the way."
The person in charge of the operation department continued to answer: "The mobile game version uses the production materials of other games."
"The plot is reproduced from the end game version..."
"The background sound is left over from when I was making handheld games..."
"The screen textures are also changed from other games..."
"The character image was eliminated when I made "Zelda" and "Yitian"..."
"Even the production of the game itself was made by the development team after finishing their work..."
"And we don't plan to add a DLC version to the mobile game version, nor do we plan to invest in promotional costs."
"So, the mobile game version actually doesn't cost much. We don't plan to make money from the mobile game version, but just give it to you to give back to readers."
"The charge of 4.9 yuan is only used to balance the manual fee and download broadband fee, whatever you want."
……
Tian Wenwen had a weird expression on her face.
Why does it sound... like a stitch monster?
Are you sure you are serious about making games?
Think of this-
Tian Wenwen turned on the phone pretending to be calm, and re-experienced the mobile game version of "My Brother CEO".
The picture quality, sound effects, gameplay, and content are not as good as the end game version, but the degree of completion is still very high, and it can be regarded as the middle and upper reaches of all mobile games.
"Because mobile games at this stage are very easy to make."
Seeming to understand her thoughts, the person in charge on the other side said lightly: "Mobile players do not have high requirements for games. Of course, the current mobile phone performance does not support too complicated games."
"That's it."
Tian Wenwen understood.
Only then did she realize one thing.
Although the development team of [Happy Game] just did it casually, and didn't take it seriously.
Even the originals were lazy, and they just took over the outdated materials left over from the previous games.
But... They are the top team in the game industry.
Even if it's just doing it casually and playing it completely freely, it's not comparable to ordinary second-rate development teams.
software design technology, design thinking,
Just like playing "The King of Fighters".
Even if Tang Wenjing was in a terrible state with a high fever and a toothache and was still awake, she could beat ordinary players to the point of doubting their lives.
This is the gap, this is the strength.
Tang Wenjing from thousands of miles away: Ah Qiu~ It's so cold~ Evil thoughts enveloped me~
……
Tian Wenwen no longer worried about the quality of the game.
But the price-
After thinking for a long time, she couldn't help but tentatively asked: "I have no problem with the pricing of the mobile game version, but is the client game version a bit more expensive? Or... 29?"
Good guy, cut off almost half of it.
In fact, what Tian Wenwen thought was very simple.
I just want to save some money for my readers.
She doesn't care about the profit.
I just got inspiration from novel adaptation games such as "Shooting the Condor" and "Yitian", and I want to make a small game for readers to play.
The main thing is to have fun.
At the same time, I don't want to cause financial burden to the readers, so I want to "bargain the price".
Well……
This bargaining is very spiritual.
Tian Wenwen has a very good relationship with her readers, and they are able to chat with each other, as if they have been friends for many years.
Of course, she would also know that most of these readers are student parties, and they don't have much money in their pockets.
The price of 49 yuan, for many student parties, is still quite stressful, and they need to make choices from other expenses.
……
"In terms of the quality of this game, the price of 49 yuan is not high. Games of the same level are basically in the 60 yuan range."
The person in charge shook his head: "Moreover, when we do discount promotions in the future, we will also discount games, so we need to reserve a profit margin for discounts."
"certainly……"
"You have the final say on how much to set. Even if you want to set a price of 9.9, no one will stop you."
"only……"
"The production cost of the client game version is about 100 million. If you lose money because of the low price, you may not be very happy."
"To be honest, the readers of your book certainly have a certain amount of spending power, but they are far from being able to pay back."
"To truly make a game profitable, it still needs to introduce foreign players, and these all need to spend money to operate."
This is quite euphemistic.
In fact, if you speak directly, just one sentence:
You can set as much money as you want, anyway, if you lose money, it is your business. If you don’t want to lose money, then listen to me. It is impossible for your little readers to get back the money. I have to find a way to make money from outside to fill in. pit.
There are needles hidden in the inside and outside of the words, full of disgust.
"Good good."
Tian Wenwen quickly waved her hand to beg for mercy: "Just listen to you, you are a professional, please trouble."
"Should be."
The person in charge of the operation department calmly took out a document: "This is about you authorizing our company to develop and sell a game with the same IP as "My Thunder Group President Brother", and you agree to our company's pricing proposals and promotional activities. Please sign the confirmation letter regarding the specific planning of the two parties regarding the profit sharing..."
……
After going through the process.
Su Qiong took Tian Wenwen around the life garden again.
"Where's my brother?"
Tian Wenwen frowned: "I finally came here, but he won't come out to pick me up?"
He is not here, do you feel like you are doing it again?
Su Qiong didn't have the nerve to expose her, but just said casually: "He has gone to the research center, which is quite far from here, and non-core employees are not allowed to approach, so... If you have anything to do with him, I will call and ask. "
"Non-core personnel can't get close?"
Tian Wenwen looked at Su Qiong in surprise after hearing this, and said with righteous indignation: "Sister-in-law, you two are getting married soon, yet he still thinks you are not a core employee of the company, it's too much, I'll scold him for you later. "
"..."
Su Qiong was silent for a few seconds, then quietly said, "I'm talking about you."
Tian Wenwen: "???"
……
Until the last time she left, Tian Wenwen didn't talk to Tian Moyun.
Probably, love will disappear.
However, Tian Wenwen didn't feel worried at all. After she returned, she told the good news that the game was about to be released to the three roommates with a smile on her face.
Then--
The four of them were sitting in the dormitory, chatting and staring at the screen while watching the game screen.
"This game seems simple, but it is full of sincerity."
Wen Yu tutted his mouth: "With all due respect, I think the content of this game, in terms of quality and quantity, completely surpasses your original work. It is worthy of being a top team in the game circle. They didn't put your original work at all. In my eyes, making a game will crush you several times, don't you feel inferior?"
"To shut up."
Tian Wenwen glared at her.
Although she really didn't want to admit it, but... the story content of this game is far more exciting than the original work written by her. This is an indisputable fact.
This is not surprising.
Tian Wenwen is not a strong writer. The reason why "My Brother, the President of the Thunder Group" can achieve such a good result has a lot to do with the title of the title, and the editorial department of the website secretly arranged key points for her. She can "upgrade" all the way.
If it wasn't for these things, it would be pretty good if "My Brother, the President of the Thunder Group" could achieve one-third of the current score.
Tian Wenwen knew very well——
I am not a professional, but the plot creators of the game development team are professional.
The other party can thoroughly understand her book, retain the essence, remove impurities, and make some fillings, and finally organize it into a qualified game plot.
And this is why the plot content of the game looks more exciting than the novel.
……
"Hey, there's still a long way to go."
Tian Wenwen suddenly sighed.
She was still a naughty child before, but during the few years of college, she has matured a lot.
Therefore, she can realize her lack of knowledge and lack of skills in many things, and then she will gradually become diligent.
But this is not enough.
Still need more exercise.
"Forget it, let's announce the game first."
Tian Wenwen shook her head, not thinking about those things.
At this time, the three of Wen Yu were having a great time.
"Save a file first, and play later."
Tian Wenwen regained the right to use the computer, then opened the [Fetion Group], and found the "Little Mosquito Reader Group".
Little mosquito!
Full name: Diligent little mosquito!
This is Tian Wenwen's pseudonym, a bit of imitation of Tian Moyun and Su Qiong.
One of them is "simple little Yunyun" and the other is "kind little Susu".
This is excellent!
"Sisters!"
Tian Wenwen opened the dialog box, briefly flipped through the chat history, and then began to type: "I would like to share a good news with you, the same game as "My Brother of the Thunder Group President" will meet with you soon, so I will ask if you can play it." Happy? Are you excited?"
After a few seconds of silence in the group, readers began to reply.
"Game? The little mosquito is joking again."
"I looked at the calendar carefully, today is not April Fool's Day."
"It must be that the little mosquito lacks a sense of presence, so now it can only be a poor headline party, or pretend to be stupid and cute. Hey, I am so sympathetic."
"How can you do this? I'm different from you, I believe in the author...hehehe."
"Do you really believe it upstairs? It feels like you are tricking us."
"Forget it, let's talk about Little Mosquito's new book. I mean, the plot of the past few days is not as vigorous as before. Is the author withered?"
"Maybe it was discovered by my own brother, and then I was beaten so hard that I didn't dare to write nonsense, hahaha."
"Laughing, actually I think it's pretty good. I was bullied by my brother every day when I was young, but when I grow up, it becomes me who bullies him."
"But I guess, the author may have been bullied since he was a child, and he hasn't been able to stand up until now... I don't know whether I should sympathize or envy."
……
Watching the readers change the subject while chatting, pretending that she doesn't exist.
The smile on Tian Wenwen's face gradually faded, suddenly she didn't want to talk to this group of people anymore.
was ignored~
so angry~
I really want to quit the group~
but can't return~
I am the author~
Wouldn't it be more convenient for them to mock me if the author quit the group~
But if you don’t quit the group, you have to keep watching~
Ah, even more angry~
