Urban: Becoming a principal from a junior college!

Chapter 497 Did they really kill the penguin?



The explosion of "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" has set off a huge wave all over the world.

But in the gaming circle, it is undoubtedly the most influential.

It's like dropping a depth charge.

Because "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" is so popular that it's unreasonable.

And because the gameplay is rich enough, it attracts too many players.

This led to a decline in the number of online active users, game time, and payment data for most games on the entire network on the first day of the launch of "Evolution of Mountains and Seas".

The more popular the game, the greater the impact.

For example, the number of online users of Pesticide dropped by 20% on that day.

Even the original body couldn't avoid it, and the number of online users dropped by 15%.

This is absolutely a fatal blow to mobile games.

After all, most mobile games rely on user stickiness to maintain.

If users don't play the game for a day or two, they may just be too lazy to play and delete the game and quit.

The three major mobile game companies have all been affected to varying degrees.

The entire mobile game industry seems to be about to usher in a wave of major reshuffles.

And the executives of various companies were also a little at a loss for a while.

They pay attention to the development progress of their competitors every day and compete with each other.

If you make RPG games, I will invest in R\u0026D.

If you make shooting games, I will follow suit.

If you make battle royale games, I will make one too.

In short, the competition is extremely fierce.

There are wins and losses.

But they never thought that they would be stunned by a school now.

Is this a dimensionality reduction attack?

Seeing the increasing popularity of "Evolution Mountain and Sea", the three major families can't sit still.

If this continues, I'm afraid the game revenue will be halved.

No one can afford such a price.

They analyzed it carefully on the day Evolution Mountain and Sea was launched.

In fact, the quality of the game is not top-notch.

It is not a perfect game.

There are many bugs in the game, such as the pets in the game sometimes block each other and overlap the textures.

And the AI ​​logic of the pets is not perfect. Sometimes the strongest pets that players have high hopes for will suddenly start shopping during the process of fighting monsters or pvp, watching the enemy beat their masters to death...

Many other problems were also found.

But these are harmless and can be solved through subsequent updates.

The main reason why this game is so popular is that it is fun, has rich gameplay, and has a high degree of freedom. You can play it any way you want.

This has brought a lot of thinking to the practitioners in the entire game industry.

Today's game industry is either a shoddy, wild and cool numerical mobile game.

Or it is a variety of top-level stand-alone games with deep plots and high picture quality.

But many game production companies have forgotten the original intention of the game.

That is to be fun...

If the game is not fun, what's the point of having strong numbers?

If the game is not fun, what's the point of having beautiful pictures?

And this game made by Xingchen Game Company has grasped a point, that is, adding all the fun and interesting elements to let players enjoy the game happily.

In addition to the fun of the game itself.

Not to mention that this game does not even have any payment points.

Just selling a skin, or a love-or-no-buy attitude, there is not even a skin pop-up window when the game is opened.

This made all the mobile game companies gnashed their teeth and called Xingchen students a waste of resources.

If this game was made by them.

They would definitely design a lot of charging points.

You will be given a junk pet at the beginning, and you can't catch a good pet in the wild.

Want all kinds of mythical pets?

Then you have to open boxes.

99 per time, and there is no guarantee.

It's not enough to get a mythical beast. You have to buy evolution stones to evolve the mythical beast. It's not enough to just evolve it. You have to sell some pet skill books...

There are too many krypton gold points for such a rich game.

And with such high popularity, it only took three days to make 100 million US dollars?

If this game was in their hands, 100 million US dollars a day, it would be considered their restraint.

Only charging for skins is definitely picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

Any normal practitioner would never do this.

But the problem is that Xingchen students did it.

They didn't even open a monthly card, but they sold skins.

This made all mobile game manufacturers particularly embarrassed.

Originally, everyone was bad and greedy, and no one was better than anyone else. Players had no choice, so it didn't matter.

But now it's different.

Xingchen Games is so conscientious.

It makes them look too unconscionable.

This will accelerate players' dissatisfaction and lead to player loss.

Under helplessness, each company can only use various coping policies.

For example, reduce some krypton gold points.

For example, double the benefits.

For example, reduce the difficulty of props that originally required players to work hard.

And the plot updates and content updates that were originally planned to be launched later were also updated to Wanjia in advance.

Just to prevent players from being robbed by "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" and to maintain the basic market.

This operation is basically followed by all game manufacturers.

This makes countless domestic players clearly feel that the mobile games they are playing have become more conscientious than before.

The original krypton gold is at least half cheaper.

The materials that originally took several days to work hard are directly given away for free.

And why all this happened.

As long as you think about it a little, you can figure it out.

It's because of the new game of Xingchen Academy.

Because of the launch of the new game of Xingchen, domestic game companies have become conscientious.

This undoubtedly makes the new game of Xingchen gain more attention and praise.

After all, so far, no game has been able to have such a huge impact on the entire game industry.

Xingchen Academy is really awesome...

...

However, mobile games do not only depend on the quality of the game.

It also depends on the subsequent operation level.

Insufficient operation level can even easily turn good intentions into bad things.

For example, some games suddenly link up with celebrities, but the celebrities are not likable and fail...

Some games launch activities to stimulate turnover.

As a result, players feel humiliated by the planners and quit the game one after another.

Therefore, various game companies secretly prepare project teams and prepare to follow the trend.

They have also been looking forward to Xingchen Game Company's insufficient operation level and more failures.

This will disgust the players and give them opportunities in the future.

Take away the players of "Evolution of Mountains and Seas".

However, what they didn't expect was that the operation of "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" was more stable than they imagined.

In the next month, there were only two updates.

The first update added anti-addiction reminders.

It goes without saying that minors have limited play time, which is a legal requirement.

At the same time, a play time reminder was added, and players would be reminded once every hour.

At the same time, at 10 o'clock in the evening, 12 o'clock, and meal time, there would also be a reminder.

The main reason is that the game is too fun and the players are too obsessed.

If there is no reminder, it will really be a whole day to play, and you can't even notice the passage of time.

The second update was to update two new beasts.

At the same time, it was announced that a New Year skin event will be launched.

Limited dragon year skins will be launched for the twelve most popular beasts.

And the price of the card pool was announced.

For the national server, if you draw once for 99 yuan, you will definitely get a set of New Year skins.

And you will not draw skins you already have.

And there are no other garbage skins in the card pool.

In other words, even if there are local tyrants who intend to draw all the limited skins, they only need to spend less than 1,200 yuan at most.

This is simply conscience to an outrageous degree.

In most mobile games, a thousand yuan is just a drop in the bucket, and you may not get what you want even if you spend it.

But in Xingchen Game, they bought it all.

This made all the major game companies sigh more and more.

How can you open a card pool like this?

Will Xingchen Game Company make money? If not, let me do it!

In short, the operation of "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" is almost certain.

The update is mainly based on player experience and game content.

Skins are supplemented.

The conscience is simply scary.

The players are also shocked...

Regardless of whether it is a domestic or foreign mobile game, the krypton gold is actually very outrageous.

This made many domestic and foreign players who are used to forcing krypton gold actively persuade Xingchen Game Company to release more skins and make more money.

Otherwise, they are a little embarrassed that such a good game can't charge much money.

...

However, perhaps it is precisely because "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" has maintained restraint in krypton gold.

Even skins are not released.

Instead, it has attracted more player groups.

Because there are enough players, even if they just buy some cheap skins.

It can keep "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" at the top of the sales list for a whole month.

And because of the serious loss of players, the competitors were forced to reduce the krypton gold points.

As a result, the gap with "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" became larger and larger.

So, when the time came to February 15th.

When the universities were about to go on vacation.

The first month's revenue of "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" was officially released.

Global revenue reached 1.2 billion US dollars.

The number of registered players worldwide exceeded 1 billion.

It directly broke the record created by previous mobile games.

When the revenue was announced, the entire game industry was shaken again.

The game manufacturers who were looking forward to the operation of Xingchen Game Company overturned, no longer dreamed.

Xingchen Game Company is really too stable.

And it focuses on content, not krypton gold.

How could such a company overturn?

At this moment, major games no longer expect Xingchen Academy to overturn, but have new ideas.

That is, if you can't beat it, join it.

The release of the mobile game "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" has made people in the entire industry clearly understand the level of students from Xingchen Games.

Such excellent employees are exactly what they need.

They have begun to collect information and plan to start recruiting people before Xingchen students graduate.

The monthly salary offered basically starts at 50,000, and some can even reach 100,000.

It is confusing whether this is really the treatment that fresh graduates can get?

The most dazzling one is undoubtedly Pei Qian, the planner of "Evolution of Mountains and Seas". He is also the planner of "Bad" which was popular in China, Japan and South Korea before.

The popularity of "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" directly made Pei Qian the hottest new star in the game in China, no doubt!

All major mobile game companies have made a lot of money in recent years and are not short of money at all.

What they lack is talent and good projects that can make money.

Excellent planners like Pei Qian naturally came into their sight.

Some mobile game companies directly offered Pei Qian an annual salary of tens of millions and the treatment of vice president.

They were not even in a hurry to invite Pei Qian out of retirement, so that he could finish his internship at Xingchen Game Company and join the company after graduation.

It can be seen that Pei Qian now attaches great importance to Pei Qian in major game companies.

The game industry has such a large recruitment campaign, and naturally the graduating students of other colleges are envious.

But Xingchen College graduates have such treatment, and they have long been accustomed to it.

They can't envy it at all.

...

And in Xingchen College.

Pei Qian really didn't react to the outside companies' enthusiasm for him.

As for the annual salary of tens of millions, it sounds really good.

But Pei Qian calculated carefully, if he agreed, he would lose money.

Apart from other things, the global revenue of "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" in the first month reached 1.2 billion US dollars.

Equivalent to RMB 8.4 billion.

Even if the tax is calculated at 40%, the net profit of Evolution of Mountains and Seas this month is more than 5 billion.

30% of 5 billion is 1.5 billion RMB.

And Pei Qian, as the most important planner and project leader, can get a bonus of 10% from it.

That's a full 150 million.

And this is just this month's income.

Even if the popularity of "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" decreases after the Chinese New Year, and the income decreases, even if I don't break 100 million, I will still make tens of millions every month.

I already make so much in a month, how can I expect to earn 10 million a year?

If you think you earn too much, why don't you cut your salary?

Moreover, these game companies are reluctant to give stock dividends, which is really far from their own academy.

Not to mention the advantages of a better working environment, no intrigue, and high degree of freedom.

Therefore, Pei Qian himself has no intention of changing jobs.

He just plans to wait for "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" to enter a stable period, shift the focus of work, and start his next game.

The entire "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" project team was particularly excited during this period.

Money is naturally one of the reasons for their excitement.

Just a quick calculation, everyone feels that they are going to get rich.

The money earned is enough to lie flat for the rest of their lives.

But the most important thing is the honor that comes from being a game practitioner and being able to participate in the production of such a popular game all over the world.

...

But soon.

An even more exciting piece of news came out.

Before the launch of "Evolution of Mountains and Seas", Pei Qian once shouted a slogan, but no one actually took it seriously.

But now, it seems to have come true...
