Chapter 137 Love consultant? Universal advisor!
Zhang Pengfei led countless people astray.
Since he posted the post, many people have come to play the game "Love Counselor" with the intention of finding a partner online.
Nothing was found!
It was only now that countless players suddenly realized that their 68 dollars were not wasted. At least they had met a few like-minded friends who they had met so late.
This 68 yuan is well spent!
If you launch a questionnaire and ask everyone if they are willing to spend 68 yuan to get to know one or more like-minded friends who have perfect compatibility, then there is a high probability that 99% of people will agree.
Finding a partner is secondary, making friends, and friends of the same type of people, is the most important thing!
After figuring this out, "Love Staff" soon had new changes.
Lack of people to play black? Want to play with you?
What can I order to play with?
When I get cast in "Love Staff", the good buddies I call here are not only good in skills but have a compatible personality, the most important thing is that they don't cost money, and they can develop in the future in the long run.
Technology Exchange? Looking for an expert?
What experts are you looking for?
Don't be impatient! When I go to "Love Staff" to match, I might be matched with a big shot in the same industry. Then I'll ask him, why is it so troublesome?
Let netizens recommend movies and animations?
Haven't you heard the saying "He's like honey to me like arsenic?" Other people’s tastes and preferences are different from yours. Just check out the recommendations from netizens, which may not necessarily match your taste!
But...
Go to "Love Advisory" and ask your friends. Nine times out of ten, the movies and animations they recommend to you will not be cheated, and they must be the genres and tastes you like.
Same thing.
I like reading, but I don’t know what new books are better?
Stop looking for people to ask around. Go to "Love Counselor" to match, and then ask the matching players to recommend you. Not to mention 100% accurate, at least seven or eight books out of ten will match your wishes.
"ah?!"
Chen Ba was shocked when he learned that the new business of "Love Advisory" was developing, and the unlucky ones were actually the bloggers and public accounts who recommended books, movies, TV and animations.
"What does it have to do with them?"
"Of course it does matter!"
Yang Dong explained: "This is what they eat. Now they are ruined by "Love Staff". Do you think it has anything to do with it?"
As a blogger, self-media and public account, one of the most difficult problems to solve is "it's difficult to reconcile everyone's opinions".
Take online novels as an example.
The subject matter and type you like may not be liked by others. What is honey to others may be very enjoyable to you, but others may find it poisonous.
But since "Love Staff" was discovered and you can meet like-minded people in the game, who still reads the recommendations of netizens?
The players you match in the game are "others" who are perfectly compatible with you and have highly overlapping interests and hobbies. Are the recommendations they give not ten times more reliable than these bloggers and public accounts?
"Actually..."
Yang Dong couldn't help but smile and said: "These bloggers, UP owners and public accounts that recommend books, movies, TV and animations are all fine, and they are not big anyway."
"The ones who are really seriously affected are those anchors who do live broadcasts to bring goods..."
Jimei, I recommend a lipstick to you, it is absolutely high-quality and low-priced!
Beauty, the snacks we sell are absolutely delicious, perfect for staying up late watching TV shows!
These product-carrying anchors mainly sell products that one dares to say and the other dares to believe. Even if you end up buying a product that you don’t like and that is a scam, you will have to consider yourself unlucky.
But since I made a group of good friends in "Love Staff", if there is anything I want to buy, I can just ask them.
Although their recommendations may be misleading, they are more reliable than visiting e-commerce platforms and watching various live broadcasts of goods, right?
"Good guy!"
Chen Ba said that he was an expert. This strange use was beyond his expectation.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense!
Aren't the players matched by "Love Staff" the ones who are most compatible with themselves, who understand themselves best, and who understand themselves best?
In this case, their recommendations and personal experiences are definitely of higher reference value than others.
It’s okay to buy things online, mainly products with strong “personalization” such as novels, movies, and animations. If you listen to the advice of your friends in “Love Advisory”, the probability of being scammed is about zero.
"Love Staff? Universal Staff!"
Xiao Lu said with a smile: "Just tell us whether our game plays a role as a consultant and whether these players have any ideas!"
That is indeed the staff officer.
Not only do you provide ideas, you can even vote!
Chen Ba came across a video.
A certain "Love Staff" player is planning to change to a graphics card, and has roughly determined the budget range and model.
There are many options for the 4080.
Graphics cards produced by different manufacturers may have different differences, and after-sales service must also be considered.
So the player went to the "Love Consultant" game and asked his "Love Consultant" to help him give advice on which graphics card to buy is more suitable?
The last seven staff members voted and passed the proposal with five votes, with Zotac 4080 Apocalypse becoming the first choice!
Even worse is another player.
In addition to playing "Love Staff", he is also playing another two-dimensional card game.
Two new character UP pools have been released!
He is hesitating which character to draw. One character suits the aesthetics, and the other character explodes in strength. With a limited wallet, he finally sought the advice of a relationship consultant and drew the XP character.
The comment section burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay! You call this a love consultant, right?"
"Love consultant? Universal consultant!"
""Love Counselor" really makes it clear to you. When you are in trouble, you come to the Love Counselor, right?"
"I'm curious. Before Brother Ba develops a new game, will he also consult with a relationship consultant?"
"Selling this game to you for 68 yuan is a huge loss!"
have to say.
The players' fantastic ideas really opened Chen Ba's eyes. He probably never dreamed that the voting function of "Love Staff" could be developed for such strange uses.
But he had to admit it.
Although this purpose is not the original intention of designing this game function, it really works!
Not only does it work, it's quite easy to use.
The love consultant initially provided advice to players and helped them conquer the positions set up by various NPCs.
But after players misunderstood the true meaning of love consultants and developed strange uses, even Chen Ba recognized the abilities of these love consultants.
The people who know you best, the people who understand you best, the people who are most compatible with you... Are the suggestions provided by these people really unreliable?
This scoring situation!
Excluding a small number of extreme or special circumstances, in most application scenarios, the advice provided by these love consultants is reliable and quite reliable.
For example, does the player who plays a character in a two-dimensional mobile game have no idea whether he likes long legs or strength?
The romance consultant unanimously voted for Long Legs to give him the XP character. Is this suggestion reliable? It’s so reliable!
All I can say is that the relationship consultants he matched with really understand what he wants!
The beauty of strength is only temporary. If it is weakened, there is no need to play. But long legs are permanent, and you won’t regret it if you have them!
"Speaking of which, is our game really a love development game?"
Chen Ba was depressed.
When it was first revealed in "Love Staff" that players could conquer players and match up a large number of couples, he didn't feel so uncomfortable.
After all, players falling in love with players, although it sounds a bit outrageous, it is not off topic after all, and it is still worthy of the word "love" in "Love Staff".
But what's going on now?
Is there still a romance element in the current "Love Staff"? It would be more appropriate to remove the word love, right?
"It's okay, Brother Ba!"
Seeing that Brother Ba was a little depressed, as if he had been hit by something, Xiao Lu quickly comforted him: "Although it's a little off topic, but... our games are selling well!"
"And this isn't the first time this has happened. Just get used to it."
Xiao Lu's comfort not only did not make Chen Ba feel happy, but actually made him feel even more uncomfortable.
What does it mean to just get used to it?
Could it be that the subtext of Xiao Lu's words is that he has become accustomed to the games released by the studio, which always have such strange changes?
When Xiao Lu wakes up, has your cognition been distorted by the Tiehanhan system and fallen into a state of confusion?
Chen Ba turned his head and looked at Yang Dong, Zhong Shengwei and others.
broken!
It seemed that not only Xiao Lu, but also everyone else had their perceptions distorted, thinking that it was completely normal for this kind of thing to happen in Tianba Studio.
"Am I the only one who is awake? Or am I actually the source of pollution that distorts cognition?" Chen Ba thought carefully and was terrified.
…
Regardless of whether Chen Bale is willing to accept it, the reality is that "Love Staff" has nothing to do with "love" anymore.
Oh no!
There is still an element of romance, and at least there are players who have successfully passed this game and found the one they love.
Therefore, the name of the game Love Staff is accurate.
"Love" means that players can use this game to conquer other players and find their true love.
"Staff Department" refers to the fact that players can use this game to match with the consultants who best suit them, allowing them to make suggestions for themselves and solve various problems encountered in life...
So, here comes the problem!
What role did the "pseudo-open world" and meat pigeon NPC generation that they carefully designed and spent a lot of energy and time create play?
"Don't be embarrassed, it's very useful!"
Yang Dong said seriously: "Without these game maps and NPCs, would the game files of "Love Staff" be 15G?"
Chen Ba: "..."
It made sense, but he couldn't think of a reason to refute it.
Although they created a large open world map and random NPC generation like meat pigeons, few players will seriously experience and play it, but the content of the update still needs to be updated.
Otherwise what can they do?
After spending the whole day doing nothing, the top student puts peanuts and melon seeds on the table, crosses his legs and binge-watches TV shows and videos?
It’s so outrageous!
There is at most one idle person in Tianba Studio, and that is Brother Ba. Except for Brother Ba, no one else can be idle and must find something to do.
Game updates are inevitable.
Not only "Love Staff" needs to be updated, but the old game "Garbage Match" also needs to be updated, adding the latest krypton gold projects.
As a match-3 mobile game, the krypton gold item of "Junk Match" is very simple. You can only recharge diamonds and then spend diamonds to draw characters.
This time they plan to make a monthly card.
Not only Xiaoxiaole, the free online game "Star Emperor" also plans to add two new krypton gold items, monthly cards and "battle orders".
Monthly card is nothing...
Mainly because of the battle order/pass, players are generally not willing to accept it because they think it is too offensive.
"That's not right!"
Chen Ba does this just to make money. He doesn't care about the daily life of the game.
If players generally feel that the pass is too boring and time-consuming, then lower the threshold and play a few games to get the full game.
Chen Ba explained: “The pass is for the purpose of making money on the one hand, and for the GAL prize pool on the other!”
Making money is the main purpose.
But his appearance is not that ugly. Anyway, "Star Emperor" mainly relies on Immortal Digital to make money, and in-app purchases of krypton gold are optional.
This pass is really for the sake of the GAL League.
Because the majority of "Star Emperor" players generally pay more attention to the GAL League, they are very enthusiastic about watching the games, and they are also very interested in the games.
So he plans to increase the sense of participation. 50% of the income from the pass will become the GAL League championship reward.
"How much can it be sold for?"
Yang Dong felt that this pass would not be able to sell many copies. If he expected to increase the amount of the prize pool through this, Brother Ba was definitely overthinking it.
And, why obsess over prize pool size? Wouldn't these teams stop participating if the champion is rewarded with one dollar?
"This is for the healthy and sustainable development of the league. You can't keep paying for it, right? Over time, there will definitely be teams that won't be happy."
Chen Ba explained: "High tournament bonuses can at least ensure the survival of the winning team, and can also make participating teams and players more active."
In order to increase the prize pool, he also plans to talk to Nvidia, AMD, Intel and other manufacturers to jointly develop a standard.
What standard?
The "GAL" related co-branded accessories sold by these manufacturers include memory sticks, graphics cards, CPUs, hard drives, etc. Every GAL co-branding requires a bonus of about US$1.
$1 is not much.
But these major manufacturers, especially those involved in so many hardware categories, have high annual shipment volumes.
If an agreement is reached, the prize money for next year's GAL League champion may exceed tens of millions of dollars, or even tens of millions of dollars!
To put it bluntly, it's a bit like betting.
A portion of the profits from GAL's co-branded hardware will be put into the prize pool. If you win the championship, you will not only get it back, but you will even make a fortune.
If you fail to win the championship, you will have to make wedding clothes for your friends.
This is worse than the dispute over stock prices!
After all, although the money is not much, it all comes from various hardware manufacturers. Winning the championship means that other manufacturers will provide you with supplies.
Although the money is not much, it is of great significance!
AMD won the championship, and the prize pool included the US$2 million handed over by Nvidia. Is 2 million a lot?
not much!
But this money comes from Lao Huang, so for AMD, the nature is completely different.
