Chapter 107 Mid-Autumn Festival Activities

Developing a match-3 mobile game is not a big project for Tianba Studio.

The most time-consuming thing is the design of art resources. After all, in the game "Garbage Breaker", dozens or hundreds of Q-version software icons are needed.

"This game is not fun!"

After Yang Dong spent an hour experiencing the demo of "Garbage Eliminator", he expressed his disapproval.

"People who need garbage cleaning will not play games, and people who need to play games will not care about the garbage cleaning function..."

"you're right!"

Chen Ba was not angry, and there was no need to be angry.

Yang Dong is obviously not the audience for match-3 mobile games like Xiaoxiaole, so it’s normal that he doesn’t like them.

In fact, this is the mainstream.

How many young people would like to play this traditional match-3 game?

Nowadays, there are so many mobile games, and various masterpieces are released frequently. Whether it is pesticides, chickens, or railways, there are too many choices.

As for junk cleaning software, it is also redundant in the eyes of many people and may not be used once in several years. Moreover, young people generally have better usage habits and generally do not have too many residual junk files.

"I didn't say it, this is just for you to play with!"

Chen Ba said speechlessly: "The target audience for games like Xiaoxiaole are originally middle-aged and elderly people who have just switched from feature phones to smartphones, or children who don't understand anything."

There are some young people, but very few.

After all, young people have strong learning abilities and accept new things quickly. There are endless new games on the market, which are enough for them to have fun playing.

Under such circumstances, people like Yang Dong and Xiao Lu naturally look down on "boring" games like "Garbage Breaker".

“Do you think pesticides are fun?”

"Okay……"

Yang Dong made a fair comment: “Although it’s a Stitch Monster, as a social game, it’s pretty good on the mobile side.”

"Are your parents playing with pesticides?"

"Don't play! I taught them a few times, but they said it was too complicated and they couldn't learn it, so they uninstalled it and deleted it."

Yang Dong thought for a while and then said: "My dad should only have two games on his mobile phone, one is Happy Mahjong and the other is a stand-alone version of chess."

"That's fine then."

Chen Ba explained: "You think O God is fun because you have a strong ability to accept new things, but for those older uncles and aunts, they may not be able to walk once they enter the game."

The Xiaoxiaole game focuses on a low threshold.

After all, with a few clicks of your fingers, you can see blocks of the same type being eliminated and your score rising. Even the elderly do not have a high cost of learning to get started.

Make it more complicated, make it a large-scale game, and make it like "Star Emperor" and "God's Grace Continent", which increases the cost of learning and getting started, and is only suitable for young people and children to play.

"I remember I said that this is the studio's first mobile game. It's a simple practice and a test of the mobile game market."

"Clear market positioning and target audience are the basis for developing a game." Chen Ba explained, "After all, after making a game, you have to know who it is for."

It’s normal to not find it fun.

The audience for Xiaoxiaole games is inherently different from games like King of Gods Chicken.

"Our target players generally use mid- to low-end mobile phones. This is an indisputable fact."

Chen Ba said with a wry smile: "It's just like the mobile phone my dad used before. I bought it for a few hundred yuan to play 4C. After a long time, it became stuck like a PPT."

What big games can this phone run?

Yang Dong is used to surfing the Internet, and all he thinks about are various large-scale games. He has forgotten about match-3 games, especially mobile match-3 games, and what equipment players use.

For these people, it is definitely a surprise to be able to clean up the garbage on their mobile phones while playing Xiaoxiao. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can tell whether the mobile phone is stuck or not.

"You ask them to clean up the garbage on their mobile phones. I dare say many people don't know how to clean it up. They can only ask their sons and grandchildren to help them."

"right!"

Xiao Lu was deeply moved when he heard this and said: "My aunt is like this. Every time she comes home, she asks me to check her phone. Because she accidentally clicked on the advertisement, she downloaded all kinds of junk software such as popular short videos and XX speed version, and it got stuck. Gotta die."

"So... do you still think that integrating junk cleaning software into Xiaoxiaole is useless?" Chen Ba asked back.

"Okay, my question."

Yang Dong is also an honest person. When he realized his mistake, he changed his mind and said, "I really didn't expect that you would target the market of middle-aged and elderly people."

They must be middle-aged and elderly people!

It can be said that more than two-thirds of the main players of the Xiaoxiaole game are middle-aged and elderly people.

More than just Xiaoxiaole.

A large part of the players of chess and card mobile games such as Mahjong, Landlords, and Xiangqi are middle-aged and elderly people.

Don't ask where the young people are.

Young people are traveling in Teyvat Continent, fighting the remnants of fertility in Immortal Boat, CPDD in King Continent, and steel guns in P City!

…

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, Tianba Studio has also given special gifts to the players.

Two old simulator games have launched a low-price limited-time promotion in history. "Star Emperor" has become a free game. There is no need for discounts, so let's hold a "Mooncake Battle" event in the game.

In order to compete for the "mooncake" elixir that can extend lifespan, the human race emperor and the alien race supreme have tried their best to sublimate, even the great road has been wiped out...

There is a discount on "God's Grace Continent".

This is the first time the game has been discounted since its release. You can get the personal version at a record low price of only 45 yuan.

Not only that.

There is also a magical moon rabbit NPC from the "unknown world" in Shen'en Continent.

Players can submit the ingredients needed to make mooncakes, and then get the magical prop "mooncake" from Moon Rabbit.

After eating mooncakes, the five-dimensional attributes will be +10% for 30 minutes.

"Ha, what's the use of this?"

"Brother Ba doesn't think we lack this attribute to defeat the devil, right?"

"Can Moon Rabbit conquer it?"

Players of "God's Grace Continent" laughed out loud after seeing the Mid-Autumn Festival update announcement.

If props with five-dimensional attributes +10% were placed in other games, players would probably go crazy and couldn't wait to get a bunch of them. It would have a miraculous effect on bosses in the future to defeat monsters.

But in the game "God's Grace Continent", the brave man has already started to show off.

Demon King? Monster?

You need monster materials, what does it have to do with me, the hero? Aren’t these NPCs doing a good job? If you have a problem, go to the NPC for help. What's the use of calling me, the brave man?

This brave man just wants to watch!

Who is the serious brave person who fights monsters? Who goes through the plot to recommend bosses? Don’t everyone regard “God’s Grace Continent” as a video website to catch up on and watch dramas?

Brother, how many cookies do you need?

For players who are serious about upgrading and spawning monsters and just want to defeat the devil, the mooncake with +10% of all attributes is quite delicious.

But for the vast majority of players who only use "God's Grace Continent" as a video player and animation production software, the mooncakes for this Mid-Autumn Festival event will be the same whether they receive them or not.

If you have time to run tasks, why not cook a bowl of instant noodles and watch one more episode of "The Adventures of Jayne"!

"Hopeless."

Chen Ba was also helpless. He wanted to use this event to awaken more brave men who were addicted to chasing fandom.

In addition to being an excellent animation player and animation production software, "God's Grace Continent" is also an excellent RPG adventure game...

But obviously!

The vast majority of players did not take this update announcement seriously and considered the mooncake event mission optional.

In comparison, "Star Emperor" players are much more normal.

The new "Mooncake Battle" event has an exclusive event points ranking list. Earn points in the event games, and the top ten players will receive special rewards sponsored by the graphics card manufacturer.

And...the actual mooncake gift box made by Brother Ba himself!

It doesn’t matter whether the mooncakes are made by Brother Ba himself or bought in the supermarket. What is important is that the first place in this event will be rewarded with a joint limited edition of 4090.

The value of a 4090 is not low.

Especially for players of "Star Emperor", if you want to become an immortal, you must have a good graphics card, and 24G video memory is the standard configuration of the Immortal Emperor.

Therefore, the reward of this event can also be regarded as the "Hedao Flower". Whether it is the Supreme Emperor or the Immortal King, after taking it, he will immediately break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

What elixir of immortality?

In the face of this temptation that leads directly to the Immortal Emperor, all immortal medicines and immortal weapons are just a cloud. After all, in the world of cultivation, the realm of strength is the greatest reliance.

Ever since, in order to compete for the top spot in the standings of this event, the players have tried their best and come up with all kinds of tricks.

The Mid-Autumn Festival event includes the road to immortality, ranking mode and entertainment mode.

In other words, as long as you play the game during the event, you will earn points no matter what mode you play.

Among them, ranking activities have the highest points.

Win a ranking round and the points gained are worth two rounds of entertainment mode and 1.5 rounds of Chengxian Road.

According to this logic, playing ranked is obviously the fastest way to gain points, and it is also an effective way for many civilian players to compete for the top spot on the list.

But they overlooked one thing...

That is, although the points gained by winning a game in Chengxian Road are far less than the number of points gained in a game of ranking, a game in Chengxian Road takes less time!

Under the premise of unequal strength, the road to immortality usually determines the winner within ten moves. If the strength gap is too large, the opponent may be offline as soon as the ultimate ascension is activated.

The 4090 graphics card is also very tempting to many players who are in the stage of Immortal King and Quasi-Immortal Emperor. After all, the graphics cards they use are not as good as this.

Therefore, after the event started, a large number of immortal kings and quasi-immortal emperors on the road to immortality chose to "reincarnate and rebuild".

What is reincarnation and reconstruction?

Commonly known as, open a small account to fry fish!

When the big player goes to the Immortal Road, the winning rate and the number of games are there. The matched opponents must be of the same level. It is impossible to win a quick victory, and it is impossible to obtain a huge amount of event points in a short period of time.

It’s different when you open a trumpet account!

If the quasi-immortal emperor rebuilds his cultivation and defeats all the great emperors who have no hope of becoming immortals, then isn’t it just a matter of having the skills?

"This is too much!"

Xiao Lu couldn't stand it anymore, because he was also one of the fried fish, and he said with a very angry expression: "How can you deliberately open a trumpet to fry fish? Isn't this destroying the game environment?"

"really!"

Chen Ba nodded.

No matter what game you are in, as long as it involves opening a small account to fry fish, just spray it, there is nothing wrong with it at all.

What's more, these immortal kings and quasi-immortal emperors opened small accounts to fry fish, and they came here for the rewards of the "Mid-Autumn Festival Event", with absolutely evil intentions.

If rewards are given to them, wouldn't it mean that the government is encouraging them to open small accounts to fry fish?

"title!"

With a wave of his hand, Chen Ba made a decision and said: "It is verified that the accounts that do this actually exist and all accounts will be banned for 10 years."

It won't be sealed forever.

However, the punishment of being sealed for a few days or a few months is too light and cannot serve as a warning at all.

It will be different in ten years.

It's hard to say whether "Star Emperor" can operate for ten years. Although this is not an eternal seal, it is no different from an eternal seal.

Why are the penalties so severe?

In addition to the bad behavior of opening a small account to fry fish, on the other hand, it is also because these players are frying fish on Chengxian Road!

The road to immortality...

To be honest, the consequences of frying fish in other modes are not so serious. But the fish fry on Chengxian Road was really too much. It was a huge silent incident that threatened players’ property damage.

If Tianba Studio officially fails to act, even if players have signed a liability exemption agreement before entering the Road to Immortality, they may still be able to claim compensation from Tianba Studio.

Whether it is for the sake of the game environment or to protect weak players, opening a small account to fry fish must be punished.

certainly!

Also scoring situations.

In addition to the guys who deliberately open small accounts to fry fish, there are also players who play this game for the first time, but end up "fishing in disguise".

Regarding this situation, Chen Ba can only judge based on the backend IP and login records whether he deliberately opened a small account to fry fish, or whether he was just a new player who played for the first time and was ignorant and blew up other people's graphics cards.

This is still easy to distinguish.

If there are login records of other accounts under the same IP, it is obviously a small account for malicious fishing and there is no need to clean it.

If this IP has never been used in the game "Star Emperor" before, it can be judged as a pure and new game.

Although this newbie is very fierce and can do things that others can do only by opening a small account to fry fish, but he really didn’t mean it. He is just playing...

Can you blame him?

You can't just give someone the title of Immortal King or Immortal Emperor if you have a good graphics card, right? You must move up step by step.

As for the ordinary players who were accidentally crushed during this process, Tianba Studio can only throw out evidence to express sympathy and condolences.

What should I do if I meet a newbie who starts off with 4090?

Of course I feel unlucky!

It's impossible for Brother Ba to be responsible for this and compensate for the corresponding losses, right? The disclaimer on Chengxian Road was made by you yourself, no one forced you.

If you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts!

Since you choose to fight on the road to immortality, you should be mentally prepared. In addition to dealing with the geniuses of the same level, you may also encounter those terrifying newcomers who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers.

Yes, scary newbie!

I don’t know what’s going on with other games, but in the game “Star Emperor”, cute creatures are the most terrifying creatures.

Because you can tell at a glance that a player with the title of Immortal King and Immortal Emperor is very strong, so you don’t dare to provoke him.

But what about the newbie?

Who knows the origin and background of this cute new guy? What if I haven’t beaten the cute new guy, but I was beaten to pieces by the cute new guy...

Wouldn't that be embarrassing!

Asking for monthly votes, I hope everyone will vote more! Grateful……
