I am a domestic game design master

Chapter 111 Paid and free, E-sports season planning.

……

"[-]% of players want it to be free, and [-]% of players want it to be charged."

Listening to Chen Nuo's report, Wang Haoran smiled.

There are as many white whores as ever!
Rubbing his temples, thinking about interstellar charges.

When he held a meeting before, he focused on discussing the feasibility of the game's free model, but many people in the company did not agree with the completely free model.

Because Wang Haoran wants to use the game StarCraft as a seed to detonate the global e-sports industry!

In order to maintain the balance of the game, StarCraft can only make money from character models and skins, but this mode has great limitations.

Another e-sports attribute of StarCraft is super strong.

Although StarCraft is not League of Legends, heroes cannot be released frequently, and the updated version keeps the game alive and attracts new players.

But it has a unique charm.

If StarCraft adopts a free mode, the game may be popular for a few years, but it will definitely wither quickly!

The other is to adopt Blizzard's charging model, and many gameplays are charged.

But Wang Haoran doesn't like this mode. He has paid once and is still paying. The player's mentality is easily affected.

Wang Haoran is thinking about the membership charging plan.

This plan was conceived from the point card system of Fantasy Westward Journey.

StarCraft does not have an economic system, and cannot trade and purchase equipment and other things. He can only start from player-to-player battles.

Wang Haoran changed the charging model to a membership system, and bound the StarCraft ID account with the player's mobile phone number and ID number.

The game is free to play for one month. If players want to play the game later, they need to open a membership service of 20 yuan per month.

If you don't want to pay to play, but just want to play for free, that's fine too.

Players only need to play the battle mode every month, and get a certain percentage of winning gold coins, and use the gold coins to offset the monthly membership fee.

Anyway, gold coins cannot be traded, they can only be offset by members and the purchase of some model skins, and cannot be realized.

If players want to get gold coins, they can only get them by winning in the PVP mode!The number of gold coins obtained by qualifying matches will increase, which will stimulate the enthusiasm for gaming games.

There are also failures, but the number is very small.

Various confrontation modes such as man-machine mode and campaign mode are also available, but it requires a lot of energy.Make sure you don't even earn electricity bills!
This kind of gameplay is more feasible, and the game life will be longer!
Although it will lose some players, but to make the game full of vitality, Wang Haoran decided to adopt this charging model.

"The feedback from the public beta of the interstellar project is very good, and it's time for an e-sports event."

After opening the computer data, Wang Haoran started to watch the e-sports.

With the development and growth of Particle Games, coupled with the one billion bonus plan of the Particle Game platform, the 2.5 million bonus in the first quarter has been distributed.

This time, a total of 2.5 million bonuses were distributed to 80 game projects.The maximum you can get is 500 million, and the minimum you can get is 100 million game subsidies.

Some of them are medium-sized game companies, some are small game design teams, and some are independent game designers.

There are more than 80 game projects, covering various types of games. Game practitioners are very excited after seeing a large number of people they know or are familiar with get a lot of money.

It can be said that after the 2.5 million bonus in the first quarter was issued, the particle game platform has still become a sacred place for game designers. Huaguo game practitioners have already regarded particle games as the first platform for game release.

Not only that, more than half a month ago, with the growing popularity of Particle Games, there were also sporadic foreign game designers who submitted works in Particle Games.

For example, a game similar to [Metal Slug].

This game has been loved by a large number of players since its release, and more than 120 million copies were sold in just half a month. This game, which costs only 9.9 yuan, is another hit!
Moreover, the design team of this game is actually only three.

After Particle Games discovered that the game was popular, the team successfully signed a follow-up cooperation agreement and helped the game optimize language processing for free.

Yes, optimize the language.

If you want to release a game on the local particle game platform in Huaguo, in addition to not being too bloody and violent, there are rules set by Wang Haoran. One of the rules is that the language must be Chinese.

The language optimization of Metal Slug can only be said to barely reach the review line, it depends on the quality of the game.After the game became popular, Particle Games helped the other party do the Sinicization.

Closer to home!
The first e-sports competition held by Particle Games has been booming for a few days. Although the effect is good, it is only spread among the group.

Compared with well-known sports events, the first e-sports is not 01:30 points.

Wang Haoran is a typical person who just spends money to attract attention.

With the launch of StarCraft, games such as Audition and Three Kingdoms can withdraw from the e-sports market, and these games will only appear in the second echelon of e-sports entertainment in the future.

In the foreseeable future, StarCraft will be the e-sports carnival.

At the time when StarCraft is hot, there will be a gathering of heroes and talents, and they will jointly chase the most glorious e-sports championship!

Thinking about League of Legends, Dota, Warhammer and other games... Wang Haoran temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​their birth.

Dota without World of Warcraft is not perfect, and it is not perfect to be out of the league without Dota.

However, Wang Haoran is going to do big things for these games.

He wants to modify the gameplay in these games, such as adding Huaguo's culture, ideas, world view, background stories, etc. to these games.

Of course, these are all in his future plans, and they are just in preparation now!
Now, he is thinking about the second Particle Game E-sports Cup.

Wang Haoran wants to create an e-sports competition that is the same as WCG (World Electronic Sports Competition), but more influential than WCG.

Although WCG has a great name, its inherent attributes are not good, because the sponsors of other events are Explosive Star and Microsoft.

The two hardware suppliers want all players to know that the event is sponsored by them, and all events cover all popular games around the world.

Also because of greed, the game is too messy, the event has a big name, but the spread is relatively slow!

We must know that there are so many video games in the world, and it would cost a lot of money to promote all of these games.

Wang Haoran's plan is to turn the major events of e-sports into a season and extend the time of e-sports competitions!
For example, first use a phenomenon-level game to take the lead in launching e-sports events, and then add other popular games little by little within the time points of this game competition to create a globally influential event.

WCG's three-day competition time limit and early competition standards were drastically changed by him.The competition time is adjusted from three days to about one quarter, and this quarter is called the e-sports season.

In terms of season time, it will probably be around October to December!Over the past two months, there will be Champions Cup events of various games.

If coupled with the long spring and summer games, an e-sports channel can be formed.

Of course, the initial investment in this event is huge, and the rental of venues for single-sport events is uncommon.

It is an extravagant hope to pay back the capital within two or three years.

However, this cause has made a great contribution to society and can at least create employment opportunities for millions of people!

Therefore, this matter can be...
