Build a game empire from scratch

"Then we cancel the announcement system?"

Through Lin You's explanation, Shen Ping and Yu Wenwen understood: the atmosphere of the game they were in charge of was so harmonious that they misjudged the relationship between the players in the game.

"It's not necessary to cancel it completely."

Lin You thought for a while, and then said: "The announcement can still be made, but we will announce it after it is released. If there are serious bad behaviors exposed by players, then cancel it, or even further punish it."

"What do you mean by bad behavior here?" Shen Ping asked.

"Cheating money, cheating sex, etc. are directly related to reality." Lin You didn't have any more examples, but these two words can basically be understood by everyone.

After thinking for a while, Lin You added: "Also, if there are intentions and behaviors to molest other players in the game, that also counts."

This time, Qin Songyun and Fan Rui were also thoughtful.

Especially Fan Rui, after all, in Night City, players are allowed to wear only underwear on the streets.

If you really want to be shameless, you will sacrifice the perverted outfit of coat + underwear. After the online connection is opened, you will go to the street to find players of the opposite sex. If you find it, you will pull the coat away——

"Here's something nice for you—blue and white striped underwear!"

Thinking of that scene, Fan Rui couldn't help covering his face silently, which attracted the attention of everyone in the conference room.

"What's the matter?" Lin You couldn't help being curious, "What are you thinking of?"

"No, it's nothing." Fan Rui stroked his face vigorously, pushing the strange thoughts out of his mind.

"Boss, keep talking."

Lin You still looked curious: "No, actually I don't have anything to say, why don't you tell me?"

"Ah, it's really unnecessary. I just think, boss, your reminder is very reasonable." Fan Rui began to change the subject.

"Then, the selection of honorary players will adopt the plan we have decided?"

"Well, the plan is fine, but the proportion needs to be adjusted. "League of Assassins" and "John Wick" are both, and the battle-related ones should be lowered, and more attention should be paid to some non-combat players, especially to expand the gameplay, such as Those who climb stairs, parkour, and bicycle racing, don't ignore the existence of these players."

"Honorary players, what is more important is not the level of game technology, but the player's loyalty and love for the game, as well as the time and effort spent in the game."

"Understood." Qin Songyun and Fan Rui took notes one after another.

Lin You was about to say something more, but Xiao Meng's voice suddenly came from next to his ear: "Master, there is a player topic whose popularity has exceeded the warning line we set up!"

Lin You's originally relaxed mood immediately became a little nervous.

"Then let's do this first, select the quota for November first, and see the player's reaction. If there is something inappropriate, we will adjust it later. Anyway, this kind of long-term work, constant adjustment during implementation, is unavoidable."

After speaking, they sent a few people to draw up the list—Friday is November 1st, and the list needs to be announced. They only have two days left to screen the players, and the time is still relatively tight.

After that, Lin You quickly returned to the space carrier to find Xiaomeng: "Xiaomeng, what's the situation?"

No wonder Lin You was nervous.

The warning line set by him and Xiaomeng is different from the purely consonant trending topic list.

Consonance hot search topic list pays more attention to the concentrated popularity of fixed topics per unit time, which largely depends on the keywords of the topic.

And it must be concentrated in a relatively short period of time, in order to surpass other topics and squeeze into the topic list.

Pay more attention to "real-time".

——If it is this kind of problem, Shen Ping's team will naturally notice it immediately, and communicate with the relevant game team to deal with it.

Although the popularity warning line set by Lin You and Xiaomeng also relies on keywords, it is not a single keyword.

Xiaomeng will combine all relevant keywords under the same topic for statistics.

This kind of statistics is not limited to the Lingxi platform. Lingxi, pilipili, whirlpool forums, live broadcast platforms, and even search engine hot words far exceed Lingxi's hot search list.

Correspondingly, the warning line was set very high by them.

However, Lin You and Xiaomeng don't care about "real-time", all the topic discussions that Xiaomeng has obtained can be accumulated.

In this case, if the popularity can still meet the standard, it means that the relevant topic is "universal" to a large extent.

Moreover, this warning line is still the standard "report worry but not good news".

Players cheered, looked forward to, praised, played tricks and other positive topics, no matter how high they were, they would never touch the warning line, and would only be picked out by Xiao Meng when Lin You was bored fishing. To pass the time for him.

Only those topics where players are dissatisfied, petitioned, and express their needs will really touch the cordon.

Therefore, once a topic discussed by players reaches the warning line, Lin You will attach great importance to it.

"Show me what the topic is."

"It's a connection problem." Xiaomeng replied to Lin You while showing some screenshots of popular or representative topics.

"Why "League of Assassins" can connect unconditionally, "Light Yu" can connect unconditionally, "Paradise" can connect unconditionally, and even the fucking "Journeyman" can connect casually, but the latest "Quick Chase" does not allow direct connection. Online??? Is this reasonable?"

"The difficulty is so high, and you don't let the online game shake people, you have to clear the level by yourself. Is this to torture the players?"

"To be honest, I don't like gunfights at all. I just like to race with others, but I can't pass the level and I'm not allowed to connect online? Do you want to do this!"

"From the perspective of an industry insider, let's analyze: why Yunmeng does not allow players to do tasks online, and object to this design with a real name."

"Lin You, you are so ruthless! My girlfriend and I bought the game immediately, and we made an appointment to see the Niu Lang shop in Izumo, but she almost passed the level, and I was still crazy! Help! child!"

...

"???" Lin You immediately retreated tactically: "Go to the Cowherd's shop with your girlfriend? What kind of idea is this? Is everyone playing like this now?"

"Oh, this." Xiaomeng took a look and told Lin You: "The person who posted the post is also a girl!"

"???" There were more question marks on Lin You's head: two female players? According to their orientation, shouldn't they make an appointment to find the young lady together?

He shook his head vigorously, only thinking that this world is really strange.

Of course, Lin You also understood that if this post was not too outrageous, it would not have received such amazing attention and discussions, and it would not have been shown by Xiaomeng.

It's not that there are too many strange people, but that the strangest people and things are more likely to appear in front of everyone.

Of course, apart from this hot topic because it is too outrageous, the others are very representative.

The first one was posted early, even though it was simply an expression of dissatisfaction, it also received support from many people.

The second complaint is that the difficulty is too high. Waiting for the dynamic difficulty adjustment after death again and again, the frustration is a bit high, and I want to ask someone to help.

The third is that I don't like gunfights and want to play other content.

Under this topic, not all people want to race cars. Some people just want to form a group to cause damage, and some people want to go shopping with friends and look around. There are all kinds of people.

The fourth article is a video with a lot of gold content. Based on the combat skills of "Quick Chase" and the personal experience after several battles, the author introduced the difficulty of designing the battle level and explained that if you form a team, you will not be able to fight. How disruptive the experience is.

But in the end, this person still said: Not everyone is a hardcore player, and we should not let all players experience such a battle across the board.

Referring to the third post, you can find that many players don't care about the combat experience at all, because what they want to play is not gunfights at all...

This made Lin You feel very tangled.

He didn't just talk about the combat system of "John Wick", he really participated in it seriously and put in a lot of painstaking efforts and efforts.

Many levels really need to be tested and adjusted over and over again. Lin You worked patiently for several weeks before finishing it with everyone.

Not to mention Fan Rui and ordinary employees of the "John Wick" development team, Lin You was unwilling to give up the carefully designed battle level, and was beaten by a bunch of players by the players, who beat him hard!

Of course, since the players' feedback has exceeded the warning line, it also shows that this problem must be changed.

Lin You pondered, then——

Open the online invitation function first, so that players can form a team to meet in Night City, but once they enter the online state, the main task will be frozen directly.

Even if the team kills the enemy, as long as the teammates quit, the mission scene will go back directly to before the online?

As for those players who are eager for a large number of players to connect randomly, Lin You is not very happy to open it directly.

Because in that case, there will really be many players who will not do the main task directly, wouldn't that be a waste of everyone's efforts?

"How about..." Lin You had an idea, "Limited opening of large-scale online connection?"

For example, only open online in a specific area?

——This function is ready-made, whether it is a casino or a concert scene, this function is needed.

For another example, limit the two days on weekends every week, or a fixed period of time every night, to unlock the online system?

This can not only satisfy players with online needs, but also retain the player's motivation to complete the main storyline to the greatest extent.

"Xiaomeng thinks it's all right!" Xiaomeng cheered as usual.

Lin You smiled gratifiedly, and patted Xiao Meng's pink head: "Xiao Meng, I have to leave for a while, and discuss it with Fan Rui and the others."

"Yeah, Xiaomeng understands."

Lin You simply got up and went to look for Fan Rui.

The opening of online connection is not a decision that can be made with a slap in the head, and the game content involved is not only the main storyline.

It is still necessary to discuss with the development team and take all aspects into consideration before making a final decision.

At the same time, Lin You couldn't help but think: In terms of game design, he is not the genius designer that the media boasted about, and he doesn't even have much experience.

Basically copying those games from the original world is smooth, but when it comes to adapted and self-made games, there are often situations where the imagination is great and reasonable, but after landing, it is "unacceptable".

However, virtual reality games are a brand new thing, whether it is the original world or the current world.

Whether it is himself or Yunmeng's game designers, they need to keep learning, accumulate experience, and move forward.

And look forward to one day in the future, dedicating a game as perfect as possible for players.
