Chapter 171 There is an expert behind Miss Amamiya! (5800)

After investing so much money, your R&D department just showed us this?!

A top-notch programmer with a monthly salary in the industry, an artist poached from the Chinese mobile game market, a well-known domestic novel author transformed into a copywriter and planner...

When scattered, the sky is full of stars; when gathered, it is just a pile of shit, right?

Amamiya Chizuru thought that she must have the ability to read minds. She looked around at the shareholders at the meeting and felt that all they were thinking about now was just these few words over and over again.

The game being demonstrated independently developed by Butterfly Club is playable and is considered reasonable.

But just like some stand-alone games that are tasteless and are a pity to abandon, it is no problem to pass the time, but don't even think about it becoming a hit.

But does the company want mediocre works?

What the company wants is like "Iron Man" is to Marvel, "EVA" is to Gainax Corporation, and "Spirited Away" is to Studio Ghibli, a work that can save everyone from fire and water!

Once you understand the investment behind this game, you will know the high expectations the company has given this game.

Chizuru Amamiya really wanted to stand up and shake her head now, saying, isn't this the feeling of having spent billions to make a bad movie?

The person in charge of the R&D department also looked a little pale, but there was nothing he could do about it. Although the programmers in the company were all very skilled, they were just programmers.

A game company that is at the forefront of the market really needs programmers who understand games and are awesome, not programmers who are just awesome.

Or maybe it's because the company lacks a designer who understands code and an architect who has good brains... In short, after this meeting, the Butterfly Club will be cleaned up.

Some people are going to lose their jobs!

The person in charge of the R&D department on the stage used all he had learned throughout his life, wiping the butts of the freeloaders below from various angles. His words were ridiculous, but he still couldn't fool these people sitting there.

No one who can become a shareholder can save money. Sometimes you think he is stupid, but maybe that’s how stupid he got.

"The above is the phased results display of our R&D department this quarter. Because it is a phased process, we have put some of the more complex problems at the end. We look forward to working with more capable people to solve problems that are currently unsolvable."

After the head of the R&D department finished speaking, the head of the marketing department shook his head and felt sorry for this colleague.

It is indeed difficult to lead a group of people who are just doing the job. They are not as capable as the people under my own... If nothing else, the best department this year is definitely the marketing department.

"Thank you to our R&D friends for their hard work. Next, our marketing department will report the results."

He took out a large number of USB flash drives from his pocket and counted five of them.

These five USB flash drives are submissions sent by various teams through various channels after the Butterfly Club posted bids to cooperate with small game teams.

That's how the eight immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers, and use all their connections. Maybe one day the cleaning lady will knock on the door of the office, take out a USB flash drive from her pocket, and say that this is her second uncle's distant cousin.

My uncle’s son made a game, please show it to the leader.

The production team will submit the USB flash drive to multiple submissions to any large company that is interested in cooperating, casting a wide net to catch more fish!

This is like submitting a resume. Individuals submit resumes when looking for a job, and they submit resumes when bidding for studios. Sure enough, the end of the universe uses WPS to make resumes.

The person in charge of the marketing department randomly picked a USB flash drive that pleased his eyes and started the demonstration.

Insert the USB flash drive into the computer. There is a PPT presentation document and a compressed package in the folder. After decompression, there are game and configuration files.

The PPT was made by the bidding game team themselves and sent to Butterfly Club along with the game.

After receiving the USB flash drive, the salesmen of the Butterfly Society Marketing Department have already gone through the PPT carefully and are very familiar with how to explain PPT to achieve the best effect.

"The first game is a project developed by a team from Osaka. It is still in the internal testing stage there. They want to make online games and need huge servers, so they want to cooperate with us. We will outsource the servers to them and our company will occupy

shares, they retain the operating rights. The game is a real-time strategy RPG game..."

The person in charge of the marketing department talked eloquently, introducing the game through the game background and other information described in the PPT, and explaining the content and details in the illustrations from time to time. It really sounded like he designed the game himself, and his business ability was beyond words.

This shows that he has played the game many times in private and knows the PPT by heart.

"After playing this game, my most intuitive feeling is that it is too short. The short here refers to the apparent playable time of the game. Once you have played it to the fullest, there is nothing to do."

I personally think that the purpose of real-time strategy games is to fight monsters, upgrade equipment, and learn skills to fight monsters better. There is no doubt that the action design of this game is very good, and a 2.5D game with such an operating feel is already top-notch.

, but the creative team actually added a condition to this game that requires physical strength to defeat monsters... Not only does the copy require physical strength, but also the mobs on the map cannot cause damage to them without physical strength. This is like giving players

We have put on the shackles, and we have just played so hard that we have no energy anymore. We can either wait until the next day to play again, or continue to pay for it.”

Amamiya Chizuru was thoughtful as she listened to the person in charge's explanation.

A game that cannot keep players engaged for a long time, but can only be played for a certain amount of time every day like going to work, is destined to not last long.

As long as the game contains upgrade attributes, there must be a restriction, otherwise there will always be liver emperors and European emperors who will jump out and slap the production team in the face.

This is the so-called "stamina value contradiction".

"The explanation of this game ends here. The following is a real machine demonstration." After that, the person in charge of the marketing department unzipped the game package and started playing.

As he said, the fighting mechanism of the game is very good, but there are also a lot of gold points, especially the various stamina points.

It's like an enhanced version of the card game.

After the demonstration, shareholders talked a lot and seemed to have a certain understanding of the game.

"The game currently provided is only a stand-alone version. If it is only for internal testing, the smoothness and optimization of the movements are like this, which shows that the strength of the opponent's team is online. But judging from the design of various krypton gold entrances, the planning is a bit... eager for quick success and quick benefits.

Already."

"Yes, yes, a game that is still in closed beta is already trying to polarize players and distance itself from ordinary players. You can imagine its future reputation."

Shareholders expressed their opinions and expressed many opinions on the game.

Amamiya Chizuru frowned. From Natsuki's point of view, these people didn't seem to get to the point, and all they saw were superficial things... So has Butterfly Club's company performance plummeted in recent quarters?

The shareholders are not experts, there are no planners and designers, and although the employees are serious, their work is too repetitive, etc., which has created the Butterfly Society that is in urgent need of rectification.

Yamada Shengkage looked at each other and the person in charge of the marketing department, nodded, and then suddenly asked: "Ms. Amemiya, is there anything you would like to add or provide guidance?"

If nothing goes wrong, Miss Amamiya will have to come to the company for some time to gain experience.

Although Yamada Shengjing is flattering, she must first find out whether she is a wine-gold-plated lady or a good young lady with real talents and learning, so that she can take the right medicine.

If you are a rich man who is a strong foreigner and a hard worker, then he will really come here for an "internship", and he will be given food, drinks, fun, and a dispensable position. If you don't come to the company, you will not be able to see him.

If he is a capable and capable person, as powerful as her father, he will be able to hug her and be done with it.

When Amamiya Chizuru saw this, she also knew that she couldn't run away to say a few words tonight. She couldn't come and sit there without saying a word, and it would be hard to explain to Amamiya Konma when she went back.

Maybe she was still hesitant before. After all, no matter how high my IQ is, she has never learned anything about game production, so she can't say anything useful, so she can only draw pictures.

But now, the few hundred words that Sister Xia Shu said to her are enough!

Those few hundred words are the concise and concentrated essence of a professional. Coupled with the extremely high IQ of Comprehension 9, Amamiya Chizuru had already completed the draft the moment she stood up.

"First of all, the opinions of all shareholders are very pertinent. There is no doubt about this." Amamiya Chizuru first looked around at everyone present, affirming them, and then looked at Yamada Kage: "Secondly, my opinions are just a layman's. If you don't mind

, just listen to a joke."

Yamada Kage nodded without leaving any trace.

Being able to speak is the first thing a businessman must learn. It seems that she learned the most important thing from her father.

Amamiya Chizuru pointed at the game, recalled the clever tips Natsuki gave him, and began to explain.

"You may not understand the monetization points set by the production team, but this seems reasonable to me. After all, only the chef himself knows what is good about this dish. Gorgeous movements and fighting are their core selling points, so surrounding

Building everything around the core selling point is what planning is all about.”

"Look at it from another angle. As long as you have physical strength, you can enjoy the thrill of fighting. So it is reasonable to use physical strength as a point of krypton gold. I guess there will be characters, moves, and weapons in subsequent games.

The other gold points of the class are essentially to enhance the operability of fighting."

After hearing this, individual shareholders nodded silently, thinking it made sense.

But some people frowned and expressed different opinions: "Then according to Miss Amamiya's wishes, we should try our best to pile up krypton gold on the selling points. The more krypton gold points, the better?"

Amamiya Chizuru smiled: "This is naturally the case for game companies. Who doesn't want to make more money? But if we do this, the game will start to go downhill."

"Their approach is very bad. I think it must be improved, otherwise we cannot cooperate. If we really want to maintain the life of a game, we must encourage players to play actively and extend the game time as much as possible, rather than spending money on money.

Work hard.”

"For example, since players want to experience the fun of fighting monsters and upgrading, they should make a fuss about smoother operations and more hearty battles. Gradually increase the difficulty of the game, and the same physical strength can challenge monsters of different difficulties, so that each

Players of all levels can adjust the difficulty of monsters according to their own strength, and then divide the dungeon rewards into different levels. Only by opening up the class differentiation can novices be encouraged to catch up with the strong, and the strong can challenge their limits... Mu Qiang's psychology is the essence of human beings.

"

"Furthermore, there are ways to gain physical strength without spending gold. For example, imitate the function of creating characters in the open game of "Dungeon and Fighter". Different characters have different skills, and encourage players to create more characters if they want to experience all the game content. The game length

Naturally, I went up."

"Each character's physical strength is not interoperable and there is an upper limit on the number of characters. This can satisfy some players who want to experience more fighting operations. Then encourage small players to raise large players, and the accumulated physical energy consumed by small players can be fed back to large players.

, allowing players to decide which character to focus on, which is called a high degree of freedom."

The shareholders who were originally frowning all looked thoughtful after hearing Amamiya Chizuru's talk.

At this time, no one thought she was a brat anymore, and she completely accepted Amamiya Chizuru as a part of the company meeting.

"This is indeed beneficial to the operation of the game, but Miss Amemiya, don't forget that our original intention of making games is to make money."

Hearing this, Amamiya Chizuru's eyes fell into a trance.

The cheerful smile and perseverance of a certain big boy made her feel a little sad.
