Chapter 165 Never reveal your name as master

Defu Ren waved his hand: "Forget it. I made a game last year, and the response was mediocre. It was just enough to recover the cost. It just so happened that you launched League of Legends again. The top management in the company was jealous. You run a company, so you should know it very well.

"Money is limited. If you give more over there, there will be less here."

Lin Muchen thought seriously for a moment, then shook his head: "I have never experienced that I can approve as much as my two studios quote."

Defuren: "..."

Then why are you so serious!

I shouldn't complain to a freak like you!

But think about it, no matter what Chenxing does, every game can bring Chenxing several times, or even more than ten times the profit.

There is no other game company that can achieve this level of success, let alone in China, or in the whole world.

"I shouldn't talk about this kind of topic with a 'rich kid' like you," Defuren sighed, but continued, "The budget for the stand-alone department in the company this year is very small, and it is divided into the hands of various designers.

Even less. To be honest, if the game hadn’t paid off, I probably wouldn’t have made any games this year.”

Lin Muchen smacked his lips. He didn't expect Defurien to be in such a miserable state recently. At the same time, he also understood the meaning of what he just asked: "So you came up with the idea of ​​​​2D games in order to reduce costs?"

Defuren nodded awkwardly.

To be honest, if it were not for limited funds, he would definitely give priority to developing 3D stand-alone games.

It's a pity that people are not as good as God, and now he has to rely on 2D games that he has always despised to "save his life".

Lin Muchen touched his nose, and listening to his description, he felt more and more that this pot belonged to him...

Of course, this was just his illusion, and Defuren didn't mean to blame him. He just lamented that making 2D games is not easy, and it's even more difficult to make it popular. So far, he's still at a loss.

Looking at his sad face, Lin Muchen touched his chin and said, "If you really feel embarrassed, why not try a different idea, maybe it will be interesting."

"Um...for example?"

"Conventional games try to find ways to improve players' enjoyment, so you might as well do the opposite and make players spend money to suffer."

"Huh?" Defuren raised his eyebrows with an expression of "You're kidding me."

Just looking at Lin Muchen's serious look, he didn't seem to be joking...

"To give a simple example, for example, there is a hurdle in this place. The player controls the character and can easily cross it, but countless unexpected obstacles are set up during this period..."

Lin Muchen didn't hesitate and started demonstrating it to him using the things on the table.

In fact, what he was describing was cheating games such as "Cat Leo", "I Wanna" and "Dugout" in his previous life.

This kind of game is simple to make and has distinctive features. The most important thing is that it does the opposite and is more popular, which is very suitable for Defu Ren’s current needs.

In Lin Muchen's opinion, this type of game is really a weirdo in the gaming circle, but there are still a group of idle players who are willing to challenge the limit...

When Chenxing was first established, the reason why he didn't choose such a small game as a starting point was because he really didn't like it; and secondly, due to the existence of Feige, Chenxing's capital flow was very healthy and there was no need to do this kind of thing.

Make money through small games; the third is the most important point: fear of being beaten...

Lin Muchen did not describe the representative games in his previous life in detail, but only briefly talked about how the games were played.

After all, Defu Ren is not "one of our own", and it is impossible for him to write a design draft specifically. Being able to give him an idea is already the most benevolent thing.

In the gaming field, ideas are the most valuable.

As for whether it will be done in the end and what it will look like, it all depends on Defu Ren himself.

Defurien was no idiot either. He quickly imagined how torturing this game was and couldn't help but look embarrassed.

On the one hand, he thought this kind of game was quite incredible, and doubted that this game would become the first game in Xinghai to be nailed to the pillar of shame. On the other hand, he thought of the games produced by Lin Muchen, and he didn't know how to refute it.

Where to begin...

After being stunned for a long time, he spoke with difficulty: "This... doesn't work, right? Apart from anything else, just this kind of gameplay is a problem for promotion. And for a game like this, you can't spend money to promote it.

It must be able to convert the audience into players, right?"

Lin Muchen said nonchalantly: "Can't you just find a group of people who are well-known, need little money, and have a lot of time to advertise for you?"

Defu Ren was stunned: "There are still such people?"

"Yes, game anchor."

"... Damn it makes sense, but what if these anchors don't like it..."

"It doesn't matter whether they like it or not, what's important is that the audience likes it."

Speaking of which, if Defuren doesn't know the logic behind this, then he has been in the gaming industry for so many years in vain.

Yes, anchors may not necessarily like this kind of suffering game, but the audience enjoys it. In order to make money, they have to play it hard.

He doesn't even need to find too many anchors. He only needs to find a well-known anchor. As long as the program is effective, the audience can spontaneously urge other anchors to imitate. And when this trend becomes popular, the anchors will do it for popularity, popularity and fans.

Countless, even without urging fans, they will "voluntarily" join the suffering army...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Lin Muchen in horror.

What kind of fox is this?

He can let others promote the game for him without paying a penny, and he is "willingly"...

For the first time, Defurin felt that the experience he had gained in the industry a few years earlier was stretched thin.

But then, Lin Muchen's expression became very serious: "There is another thing you need to pay attention to..."

Seeing his expression, Defu Ren immediately became nervous and leaned forward for fear of missing a word.

Then he heard Lin Muchen say unhurriedly: "If you really plan to play this kind of game, don't reveal yourself as your teacher..."

......

Lin Muchen didn't come by himself this time. In addition to bringing some people from two studios to receive the award, Hua Yuansheng also came with him.

At the game exhibition, he took a deep breath: "Ah, the air is fresh where there is no Dragon City Entertainment."

Lin Muchen: "...I agree with what you said, and no Longcheng Entertainment game has entered the list this time. Why do I feel better than my own game ranking first?"

The two foxes looked at each other and smiled in unison.

"Okay, let's get down to business," Lin Muchen said seriously, "Are there any games at this exhibition that you are interested in?"

Hua Yuansheng also put away his playful expression and touched his chin thoughtfully: "To be honest, there are a lot of interesting ones, but not many of them are worth investing in. I made a list and you can help me think about it.

....."

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and sent two messages in succession.

As soon as Lin Muchen opened the message, he saw that the second message was quickly withdrawn.
