Chapter 9 is released online Taking advantage of the current chaotic environment for speculation has never been what Fang Qi wanted to do. Only a good environment can allow the game industry to flourish.
"I'm ambitious. I just cut a bunch of leeks and then leave. Isn't that my style? I have to finish one, then another, and then another..."
Fang Qi muttered and wrote a long email. After reviewing it repeatedly and finding no flaws, he sent it to the suggestion box of the entertainment industry regulatory department. As for whether it would sink into nothing, he couldn't control it.
The next day, he went to the company for a meeting to discuss game pricing. Fang Qi didn't need to worry too much about this aspect. Jiang Qiuxu hired professionals and would give an assessment based on input costs and market conditions.
The estimated price of "Tricky Neighbors" was around 35 yuan. Fang Qi directly suggested a price of . Jiang Qiuxu agreed after thinking about it for a while.
Fang Qi went to Xuanfa to connect, and promotional pictures, advertisements, CG trailers and live game demonstrations were immediately arranged.
Among the many distribution platforms currently, the IW platform has the largest number of users. It is said that there are more than 100 million active users and it is still developing rapidly.
The handling fees charged by the IW platform are also relatively reasonable. Normal agreements charge 5% of the profit share, while exclusive agreements only charge 2%.
Jiang Qiuxu did not sign an exclusive contract, but the focus of the announcement was still on the IW platform.
The current market, which is short of high-quality games, does not need to warm up half a year in advance, nor does it need to create a folder a few years in advance to gain a sense of presence.
Upload the client in the morning, cooperate with the homepage promotion of the distribution platform, and it will be available for download on the same day.
In the evening, the IW platform was designed and developed by iWan Times. At this moment, there was also a meeting within iWan Times, and the boss Qin Zhiyou was listening to the opinions of the executives.
"I suggest raising the threshold for game inclusion and establishing a more stringent review mechanism. It can be expected that official policies will be introduced soon. Instead of making rectifications at that time, it is better for us to take control in advance, so as to minimize the impact in the future. .”
"I think so too. Our platform has a large number of new registered users every day, not just players, but also many creators. However, most of these producers are speculators and have uploaded many inferior games to our platform. Defrauding users into paying fees has recently affected our reputation."
"We should not discriminate against independent producers, but we must do a good job in quality control. If we want to increase the platform's popularity at this stage, we still need to cooperate with large-scale companies and studios to include some high-quality games. It would be better if they can be exclusive ”
Qin Zhiyou listened very seriously and then said: "The idea of raising the review threshold is good, but games cannot rely entirely on intelligent AI review. In my opinion, games are more art-oriented, which requires a review team with sufficient gaming experience.
As for another point, everyone wants to cooperate with large-scale companies and studios, but the current discussion is limited to the stage of "mutual interest". As far as I know, these companies and studios are still in the early stages of projects and are not large-scale productions. Still have to wait.
Although it is not something that can be achieved overnight, it is certainly correct to make steady progress in this direction. "
The executives nodded.
After talking about the company's decision-making, Qin Zhiyou asked with interest: "What interesting games are there these days?"
Someone replied: "A small company called 'Star Interactive Entertainment' has uploaded a casual game. I watched the actual demonstration video. It is quite well-made and the gameplay is quite creative. The other party even purchased a one-week game from us. The promotion spot on the homepage seems to be very confident.”
Qin Zhiyou's eyes lit up: "Really, what's the name of the game? "It seems to be called "Tricky Neighbors", let me confirm." The staff member who answered immediately opened the bracelet, checked the information, and quickly gave a positive reply.
"When will it be available for download?"
"Tonight." "The meeting is dismissed." Qin Zhiyou heard this, looked at the time, got up and left without saying a word.
The executives looked at each other and smiled, and they were not surprised by this. The original intention of creating Playful Times was to satisfy Qin Zhiyou's personal hobbies.
The games uploaded and released on the IW platform are like Qin Zhiyou's private inventory. His ideal is to include the most interesting games in the world.
Qin Zhiyou doesn't need to go home, he has a private lounge in the company, and he rests most of the time at work! Entering the lounge, Qin Zhiyou immediately found the CG trailer and live demonstration of "Tricky Neighbors".
"Hey, it looks interesting. You have to observe first, and then set up props to complete the trick while avoiding the neighbors. The final score should be based on the creativity and continuity of the trick."
After seeing the live demonstration, Qin Zhiyou was immediately attracted. It was only 05:30, and there was still half an hour before the game was released, so he still had to wait for a while.
"emm... I have the final say on my territory!"
It was not until six o'clock. As the boss of Playful Times, of course he had the authority to get the client directly. However, Qin Zhiyou, who has always regarded himself as a player, did not forget to pay. After paying the pre-order fee of , he put on the virtual device. enter the game.
After entering the game, the CG started to play. Qin Zhiyou did not skip it. He has a strong ability to empathize and quickly took on the role.
"Hiss... why do you feel so instant?" Qin Zhiyou didn't want to admit that this old Wang was a bit like his father. When he was a child, his time management was almost accurate to the second. Thinking of this, he shuddered a little.
Fortunately, the game is in a two-dimensional style. After the CG, his attention was successfully attracted by the gameplay and he forgot about the shadow of his childhood.
The concise and clear novice teaching level allowed Qin Zhiyou to quickly master the basic skills of the game.
"It's very simple." Qin Zhiyou entered the second level with confidence. After observing Lao Wang's behavior patterns, he quietly slipped into the next door.
"After Lao Wang woke up from his nap, he had to cut bonsai, then go to the gym, and then take a shower. I first stuck his pruners with strong glue, then adjusted the speed of his treadmill, and finally went to the bathroom to change his shampoo. .”
Qin Zhiyou thought very well and carefully avoided Lao Wang's actions in the house, but he ignored the reminder that "some tricks will change Lao Wang's behavior patterns".
"Huh huh huh..." Qin Zhiyou, who was replacing shampoo, didn't expect Lao Wang to come straight to the bathroom with his hands full of glue.
With a bang, the bathroom door was pushed open.
Qin Zhiyou instantly felt the pressure behind him. He held the shampoo bottle in his hand and slowly turned his head, looking at Lao Wang's eyes that were almost glowing red. It was very similar to the scene when he was caught making trouble when he was a child. The shadow of his childhood was once again Covering the heart.
"It turns out it's you!" The two-dimensional style Lao Wang was so angry that smoke was coming from his head. He grabbed Qin Zhiyou, beat him up, and then threw him out of the house.
Although his sense of pain was turned off, the feeling of being beaten still made Qin Zhiyou feel a little depressed, especially after being thrown out of the house. He fell to the grass in the yard and rolled three times, making him blush.
Seeing the game failure prompt and the closed door with Lao Wang, Qin Zhiyou said fiercely: "I will come back!"
