Chapter 491
After Li Shuo replied to Bai Qinning's message, several key leaders from the development department, the technical department, and even the operations department came over. With the original intention of not letting the company go bankrupt, they came to give Li Shuo some sincere suggestions.
Although they are now working for a newly established company, the salary they offer is far higher than that of first-class game development companies at home and abroad.
Especially for overtime, the overtime pay is three times that of the previous company. If the company's revenue is good, there will be dividends at the end of the year.
Several core members are really worried about the company's bankruptcy. After discussing privately, they all came over and planned to have a good talk with Li Shuo.
When several people came over, Li Shuo's attention was naturally attracted.
After knowing the purpose of their visit, he stood up and asked them to go to the next meeting room to talk.
After all, these core members are natives of this world. There are many game settings in Honor of Kings that they have never come into contact with.
Some natural resistance.
He really should have a good talk with them.
In the meeting room, several people sat down.
Manager Wen from the technical department took the lead in asking Li Shuo his own questions.
"Director Li, first of all, I agree with your many creative ideas on the game of Honor of Kings, but there are some settings that we have almost never seen since we started in this industry, such as the key player win or lose probability. Logically speaking, players enjoy using their own skills to continuously upgrade the characters in the game level by level, which brings a sense of pleasure and honor. Why do you match players with opponents and debug the background system in the settings, so that players cannot always win by their own strength?"
"I think most people cannot accept such a game experience."
As soon as Manager Wen said this, all the managers in the office nodded in agreement.
They think that games are meant to make people happy. Isn't it tiring to make players play so hard?
Li Shuo just smiled when he heard this, and asked instead: "Which game is Manager Wen's favorite? How long have you played that game in total?"
The latter thought for a moment and replied loudly: "The Infinite Boxing King that I developed in my previous company last year."
As soon as Manager Wen said this, the other managers looked at him with more admiration.
Infinite Boxing King
This was the game that remained the most popular game on the Chinese game rankings for two months last year, and the number of downloads exceeded an unprecedented 60 million!
At this time, Li Shuo suddenly said: "What about now? Are you still playing that game? Or has the daily active users of that game continued to increase?"
When Li Shuo said this, everyone was stunned, and then they became incomprehensible.
What question did Li Shuo ask?
Games are something that come and go.
Whether in China or abroad, there is almost no game that can maintain the number of users. Each game is basically popular for a while, and then quickly replaced by another game.
There are only a handful of games that can keep players playing for more than 3 months!
Li Shuo was asking Manager Wen if he was still playing that game?
How could he be playing it?
Manager Wen did not comment: "Director Li, games are something that people play after enjoying the experience. No one will keep playing a game and not feel bored."
Li Shuo: "Then why do you feel bored?"
Manager Wen hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately.
Why do you feel bored?
Li Shuo answered: "Because you keep winning, there is not enough competitiveness and challenge, the difficulty and challenge of the game are reduced, and the game process becomes monotonous and boring. Without enough challenge and excitement, players will naturally feel that the game has lost its appeal."
"This is the game you developed before. Why is it like fireworks, fleeting? Because those games only have novelty."
In the previous life, Li Shuo was also troubled by this setting, and even wanted to catch the company's boss and scold him many times.
But it is undeniable that a large part of the reason why he couldn't close this game after opening it was because he couldn't keep winning.
And he had been caught in the rain, so of course he had to pour boiling water on the players in this world.
And make money by the way.
As soon as Li Shuo said this, everyone in the conference room was speechless.
Manager Wen opened his mouth, wanting to refute something, but he couldn't organize any words to refute.
He lost interest in the game he developed, it seems that it was indeed because... it was too simple?
As other key members related to game development, they naturally tried this popular game made by Manager Wen, and learned from it and developed many games with outstanding results.
But it must be admitted that most players of each of their games only upgraded halfway before playing a new game.They also play it, and almost all of them will not play this game again after playing halfway or successfully completing the game.
Everyone has begun to doubt their lives.
Li Shuo continued to popularize science to the natives: "If a character successfully upgrades a few levels when upgrading, and a little difficulty is imposed on him, will he start to review the reasons for his failure in this round? Is there a bad teammate? Maybe he will be matched with an excellent teammate in the next round? Is the opponent too strong in this round? The next round may not be so unlucky. If he loses, he will want to fight back, and if he wins, he will want to continue to play, instead of continuously winning and simply killing monsters to upgrade."
As soon as Li Shuo said this, a group of managers suddenly realized.
Li Shuo's game is not about players playing games, but... the game playing players.
The key is the mentality of the players. It is really possible that they will keep the freshness of this game for a long time.
The future group of native players: "6..."
If this is the case, they will definitely uninstall this game and will not download it back!
A manager spoke for future players at the first opportunity: "I think I might be so angry that I will uninstall this game and stop playing it."
Li Shuo, a veteran: "I will uninstall it, but you will definitely download it again."
The latter was puzzled: "Why?"
Li Shuo: "Because this is not only a competitive game, but also a social game."
The art manager was still unconvinced: "I already have Penguin and WeChat for social networking."
Li Shuo: "What if Xiaowei, who you often invite to drink milk tea in your art team, wants to find a master to team up with her and lead her?"
Art manager: "..."
Why didn't he realize that Li Shuo was so cowardly before?
Today, a group of managers wanted to unanimously persuade Li Shuo to change some game settings.
When they came out of the meeting room one by one, they looked confused and were already doubting their lives.
Could it be that... their professionalism in this area is really not as good as that of an amateur who writes novels?
After the managers left, Li Shuo went to the art team again.
When he returned to the office, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
Picked up the phone and saw the message sent by his wife Bai Qinning more than an hour ago.
When he left the office, he almost ran.
Everyone left work together, and Li Shuo was the first one to rush out of the company.
He was not in a hurry to go back to do anything, he had to go back to coax his wife.
After all, the photos were sent to her and left for more than an hour.
However, this girl's legs...
are indeed... very tempting.
