There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

  Chapter 298 Privileges

  Linmu Studio.

  Lin Yao looked at the data report of the new game "Hero" yesterday.

  Nodding with satisfaction.

   The game "Hero" is very popular.

   Or more directly.

   It is not an exaggeration to say that it is hot.

  The statistics of the game opening on the first day are very impressive.

   She is satisfied.

   But this is just the beginning.

  After a game becomes popular, the next operation is the top priority.

   It’s not uncommon for games to explode once and then fall quickly.

  Lin Yao has seen many of them herself.

  However, Lin Yao still has confidence in this. With him still alive, Linmu Studio should not make too serious mistakes in this game.

  Follow-up, new heroes will be launched normally, the gameplay will be adjusted, and the balance will be fine.

  Lin Yao is more concerned about how to expand the influence of the game.

  She had the idea of ​​making MOBA games at the beginning, and she wanted it to provide a steady stream of blood for the next console business and game development of Linmu Studio.

  So she is definitely not satisfied with "Hero" becoming just a short-lived hit game.

  She wants to do long lines.

  If you want to make a long-term game, you must first increase the influence of the game...

Earn more money.

   There is nothing to hide about this.

  Linmu Studio is a commercial company, the first purpose is to make money and survive.

  And what Lin Yao wants to do in the future will require a huge amount of funds.

  She also has a forest tree financial control that needs help.

  Although Linmu Studio’s monthly cash flow is barely enough, after all, other games are also quite profitable...but who knows if there will be any surprises.

  So the promotion of the next game "Heroes" is very important.

  She herself has experienced the era of MOBA games, and knows that this game has potential.

  This game has more potential than Breakout!

certainly.

   The game itself is also prepared.

  As the number of players increases, various problems will definitely arise.

  Lin Yao also learned from the past.

  The previous games of Linmu Studio have produced valuable illegal products. These illegal products are actually sucking the blood of Linmu Studio.

  Need to be strictly guarded against.

  There is also the utilitarianism of the players...

   Lin Yao is not a lesson learned from the past. She actually has a strong sense of utilitarianism in playing games.

  In her previous life, she liked the game Hearthstone very much.

  It is a semi-hardcore player whose mainstream cards are all gold cards.

   But even for a player like her, when hitting the ladder, the first choice is version cancer, all fast breaks.

  Either I kill you before ten mana, or I vote...

  But the most fun deck in Hearthstone has never been a fast attack, but a variety of clean decks...

   Keqingliu decks are fun, but the problem is that when encountering fast attack, they don't think about how to activate Kazu, but how to survive... and play slowly.

   And fast break is not fun, but the top score is really fast... full of cancer.

  This is true for a card game, let alone a game of the "Hero" type.

   But this problem is almost unsolvable.

   Quite troublesome.

"Um…"

   Although the game is online.

   also succeeded.

  But Lin Yao has to worry about... there are indeed many.

  …

  Two o'clock in the afternoon.

  Lin Yao took Mu Wanqing to meet Zhong Xiu and Guangzheng, the person in charge of "Heroes", in the meeting room.

Guangzheng was very excited, and as soon as he entered the meeting room, he immediately said: "Mr. Lin, the online data came out last night, and the peak number of simultaneous online users once reached 900,000. Almost half of the users of the Vaporwave game platform have downloaded the game. The average online time It's even more outrageous, seven hours! The effect of the live broadcast you proposed yesterday is really great!"

   "It's really eye-catching."

  Mu Wanqing tapped lightly, and then felt a little emotional.

  When she first worked on the new version of "Fantasy OL", she said that there might be millions of players, but Yaoshi Software's senior management thought it was unbelievable, and she herself was not confident enough.

   And now.

  A new game from Linmu Studio, on the first day of its early access, the number of online users once reached 900,000.

   It's only been a few years.

   Really too fast.

  Linmu Studio is developing rapidly.

   The growth rate of players is also fast.

   "It's hard work for you to watch, the live broadcast is just an extra, the most important thing is to pass the game quality."

  Lin Yao nodded and smiled at him.

  Although there are still some problems to consider, such a result is still worth being happy.

  This represents another pillar product of Linmu Studio.

   "Also, I don't know if you have heard of it, Lin Yao."

Zhong Xiu spoke to the side and said excitedly: "I went to eat at noon, and I went to the nearby Internet cafes to check. Almost every Internet cafe was full. I went in and had a look, and then chatted with the owner of the Internet cafe. What I saw, or what the boss said, are all the same. Most of the players are playing the game "Heroes", and these players are not alone, most of them come with a few good friends. This game is really popular now , The spreading effect is also really strong, I see that many players who play other games are asking what game it is, and then download it to play."

"Oh?"

  Lin Yao was a little surprised. Although she was mentally prepared, she really didn't expect such a scene to appear so soon.

   And if there is this condition.

  The possibility of what she just thought seems to be realized is very high...

   "Really, I see that many players who play MMORPG, as well as players of our own games, have tried it."

   "Well... Then it's up to us to operate well."

Lin Yao nodded, then thought about it, and said: "Those heroes that have not been released can be released at a fixed frequency. Although there are not many thirty heroes now, they are still too few. There is also pressure The skins below can also be ready to go online, and the first batch of legendary skins should be produced as soon as possible."

   "Okay."

   Hiroshima nodded excitedly.

  The project I was responsible for was successful.

   He was really happy.

"in addition."

Lin Yao pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I have another idea. Now that the game is on the rise, the social nature and competitive nature of the game make many players choose to play in Internet cafes, so can we launch a...Internet cafe privilege system? "

   "Internet cafe privilege system?"

  Zhong Xiu was a little suspicious.

  Lin Yao explained: "To put it simply, Internet cafes give us a certain authorization fee, and we give Internet cafes some privileges. For example, unlocked heroes can be played freely, and some skins can be tried for free."

"what?"

When Guangzheng heard this, he immediately objected: "This is not good, boss, our income from this game basically comes from skins. If it is free to use, who would buy it? And if you make up for the licensing fee, Internet cafes can't afford it." rise…"

   "I know, so we don't release all skins, and the licensing fee should be set at a reasonable range."

  Lin Yao nodded.

  In fact, she also thought of this.

   "The reason why I bring up this idea is not to earn licensing fees, but... the advertising effect."

Lin Yao talked about her thoughts in detail: "A lot of online game companies used to have a job called local push? It was to recommend games to Internet cafes and let them help promote the games. But such a team is too bloated and cumbersome. It is inefficient, we don't need to follow suit, but can rely on the current popularity of "Hero" to let Internet cafes spontaneously promote this game, and the reason is the privilege system.

  We give privileges to Internet cafes, allowing them to log in to "Heroes" on their Internet cafe machines, and they can play all heroes and experience some skins, and use this as a selling point to attract customers. And they need to give us a certain authorization fee, and they also need to help promote the game "Hero" offline.

  Finally achieve a mutually beneficial effect.

  They get customers, we get users. As for income, skins are limited to machines with Internet cafe system installed, individual users cannot use them, and not all skins are available for free, so the impact will not be too great, not to mention that we will continue to launch more skins and heroes in the future .

  My early stage, first expand the influence of the game! "

   "..."

   After listening to Lin Yao's words.

  Guang Zheng and Zhong Xiu lowered their heads slightly, fell into silence, and began to think.

   Next.

   The two looked at each other.

   It feels like…it is possible.

  Now the popularity of "Hero" can be seen by the bosses of every Internet cafe.

  There are more means to attract customers, as long as the price is reasonable, they should be willing.

   As for the promotion, let alone the supervision of Linmu Studio.

  For their own business, seeing how hot "Hero" is, they will spontaneously promote it to attract customers.

   As for whether to bring Internet cafe privileges or not.

  As Lin Yao said.

   This is not important, nor is it the purpose of Linmu Studio.

  As long as the game has exposure, it will be fine.

  Zhong Xiu looked at Lin Yao and said with some admiration: "It's really good, so let's get ready?"

"Um."

  Lin Yao nodded: "However, we need to discuss the specific authorization fee. After it is confirmed, we can contact the relatively large Internet cafe chain stores in China and ask their opinions..."
