Chapter 174 Professional Edition renamed
The "Game Partner" mechanism launched in "Don't Leave After School: Pinball Storm" has aroused heated discussions across the Internet.
Players to rule players?
This brand-new concept has shocked the entire gaming industry.
Everyone has turned their attention to the game "Don't Leave After School" and want to know what changes will happen to the game after it is operated in this way?
Likewise, Chen Ba is also very concerned.
Adding this "game partner" mechanism to the official version is indeed a bolder attempt, but he doesn't know what to do.
However, judging from the feedback given by players after the official version was updated, this is indeed a big change and has certain positive significance.
First thing...
In the past, the planning and operation of games, especially online games, were relatively mysterious. Even if ordinary players wanted to complain, they would not know how to find them.
For example, when you play "League of Legends" and feel that a new hero is too supermodel, and the designer is balancing on his feet, how will you scold him?
"League of Legends designer, take a look at the monster you designed. This is Quesanti, HP4700..."
Look!
Even if I want to criticize the designer, I don’t know who to criticize! Because most players don’t know or recognize the designer’s name.
But in the game "Don't Leave After School", since the introduction of the so-called "game partner" mechanism, the goal of focusing fire has been very clear.
"Damn it [Cherry Cake Jam], is there something wrong with your brain when you step on a horse? If you are sick, get cured quickly! I beg you, please stop being a monster, okay?"
In the past, there was no one to scold, and everyone would gather their anger to criticize Brother Ba, spitting sweet things at him, and scolded him so much that Brother Ba didn't even dare to hang out in the community.
Who is still scolding Brother Ba now?
Brother Ba has delegated power and only provides server-related support, retaining veto power. Both bad and good things are done by the "game partners".
Then identify the game partners in your area, name them by name and just criticize them, and that's it.
"Okay, okay!"
Chen Ba was extremely satisfied with the fact that he was saved from being sprayed, but instead his gaming partner took a shot for him.
Yeah!
For this reason alone, game partners are very useful. As the saying goes, red flowers must be lined with green leaves. Without these game partners to block the gun, how could his reputation in the community become so good?
In addition to professional scapegoating, the biggest change brought to the game by the game partner mechanism is the welfare of players.
These game partners are basically ordinary players. They are players themselves, so they know how to please other players.
The welfare aspect is definitely full.
And regarding the gaming environment, each of these gaming partners is more attentive than anyone else. I wish I could stay in the game 24 hours a day and keep an eye on the number of active players in this area.
Are there fewer active people?
Then you have to reflect on whether you are not doing well enough. Why is it that other areas are fine but your own area is losing players?
It’s broken, Heavenly Punishment is coming!
In order not to be punished by God, but for their own interests, game partners in various districts have perfectly demonstrated what it means to "pay to work" and be more active than working with a salary.
Special praise to the fifth district!
Because the five districts are three pillars, after the official version of this district is updated, there will be three game partners to jointly manage and operate this district.
How to divide the three people?
The answer is three shifts! Each person is on duty for eight hours a day. If necessary, he can ask for leave and find someone else to take over the shift. He is more active in playing games than at work.
This made Xiao Lu happy.
"Good guy, if I hadn't known that they didn't receive wages, I would have doubted whether these were employees we paid to hire!"
So dedicated, tears come to my eyes!
Spending money to hire professional game planners or game operators may not be as dedicated as these game partners.
certainly!
Professional game planning and operations are definitely better than ordinary players in terms of professional knowledge. This is incomparable.
"So, although being dedicated to one's work is worthy of praise, it does not mean that one can do one's job well."
Chen Ba explained: "The rich second-generation player in the fourth district has understood this profound meaning."
The second-generation rich man in District 4 plays up to three hours a day. Compared to the dedicated game partners in other districts, he is extremely lazy.
But he was generous with money, and players in the four districts unanimously recognized and praised him.
Moreover, this guy is also a bit of a thief. Since he became a so-called game partner, he immediately hired a professional game operation planner to be his deputy and handle all matters in the area for him.
Professional, this is called professional!
I have never encountered this kind of situation, playing a game, and ended up having to pay to hire a planner and operator to help me operate the game.
The game was sold to him for 68 yuan, which was definitely the most cost-effective deal Chen Ba had ever made in his life!
Don’t talk about 68 yuan!
Even if he was asked to pay back 6,800 yuan, Chen Ba would be happy. After all, this player hired a game planner and operator at his own expense and gave it to Tianba Studio for free.
My family, I am so touched...
The first person to pay to go to work, the first person to impress Tianba, this rich second-generation player from the fourth district deserves the honor.
"Hahaha!"
Yang Dong, who carried the ingredients into the house, also smiled and said after hearing the discussion between the two: "Don't tell me, Brother Ba's move saved us a lot of energy."
Without the game partner mechanism, the studio would have to assign dedicated personnel to be responsible for the follow-up operation and maintenance of the game "Stay After School: Pinball Storm".
it's good now!
Run a hammer operation, be optimistic that the server will not go down and be disconnected, and leave the rest to these players.
This is so easy.
"If nothing else happens, as long as our model can continue to develop smoothly, there will definitely be friends and businessmen who will follow up and learn from it in the future."
"I'm afraid that's not easy to imitate."
Yang Dong called the two people for help and explained: "The reason why we have this mechanism is actually because the authority is not in the players' hands, but is bound to the props in the game."
"Marbles are the authority. Marbles can be used by other players. It's not just a designated player who can use them..."
This is the key point.
Precisely because the authority is the body of marbles, there is a saying of changing dynasties. Players who are dissatisfied can just rebel and start an uprising.
But other games can learn from the "players govern players" mechanism. Can they "change dynasties" so quickly and naturally?
If you can't do it, you can't learn.
After all, in the game "Don't Leave After School", players who do not do well will always feel in danger of being usurped by rebels.
If you want to imitate other games, there is no similar "rebellion" mechanism. At most, you can only imitate a different one, which is difficult to gain recognition from players.
"You've come to the point!"
After helping Yang Dong set up the induction cooker, Chen Ba tore up the hot pot base and poured it into the pot. He shook his head and said, "Even if we want to make a similar game again, we can't."
This is a game bug.
Even if Tianba Studio reproduces a game, similar bugs may not appear. Therefore, this is a special case that cannot be replicated.
It's snowing heavily outside the window.
Chen Ba, Yang Dong and Xiao Lu sat around the induction cooker, cooking hot pot and chatting about their work arrangements for the new year.
"God's Grace Continent" is going to change its name.
Do not misunderstand!
The renamed version is not the personal version. The "God's Grace Continent" game played by ordinary players can be called whatever they want and will not be affected by this.
It is mainly the professional version and the personalized customized version "Shen'en Continent". Due to business needs, it may be changed to "Shen'en Animation" over time.
This is also a suggestion from customers!
Yang Dong told Chen Ba that many animation companies he cooperated with said that the professional version of "God's Grace Continent" was very easy to use, but the name made them want to complain.
After all, it is a professional AI animation production software, and the game name "God's Grace Continent" is too cheap, isn't it?
Mainly, I can’t find it!
If you search for "God's Grace Continent" online, all you will find are game introductions related to the personal version, or game-related videos or reports.
This is extremely unfriendly to professional version users!
Because every time they want to search for tutorials and download links for the professional version of "God's Grace Continent", they always find a lot of content that has nothing to do with the professional version, which is very annoying.
"The professional version should really be separated from the personal version, and they should be treated as two products from now on!"
Chen Ba thinks there is no problem in changing the name.
"God's Grace Continent" is too extreme. The user groups of the personal version and the professional version do not overlap at all. It is really inappropriate for these two groups to be mixed together.
In the future, the professional version will be positioned as a professional-level animation production software after the name change, and will no longer be referred to as "game".
The personal version is still called "God's Grace Continent", so it should stay in the game section and concentrate on serving game players and some animation enthusiasts.
"Then we might as well sell them separately!"
Xiao Lu picked up a piece of beef and put it into the pot, and Leng Buding suggested: "It's easy to get confused if you charge them together, and they often even buy the wrong ones."
This is also a problem.
Some people came for the personal version of "God's Grace Continent", but because they couldn't tell the difference between the personal version and the professional version, they accidentally purchased the professional version for 999 yuan/month.
He thought it was permanent, but when the professional version service expired in the second month and he was prompted to renew, he realized that he had bought the wrong version.
There are also people who came for the professional version, but ended up buying the personal version. In the end, they scolded Tianba Studio for false advertising and complained that "God's Grace Continent" is not as easy to use as the video said...
These situations are very common, and even Chen Ba himself has dealt with several after-sales cases where he purchased the wrong version and applied for a refund.
It makes sense to sell them separately!
The price of the professional version is completely inconspicuous in the software section, and no gamers will come to gossip about it.
But now, there are a lot of people gossiping...
Xiao Lu saw a short video before, which listed some of the most expensive games on the steam platform, including "God's Grace Continent".
Moreover, the uneducated video blogger also exaggerated in the video, saying that "God's Grace Continent" is the only "monthly fee" game.
What the hell are you talking about?
In the eyes of players who know the inside story, such idiotic videos may only make people laugh. After all, everyone knows the price of the personal version of "God's Grace Continent".
But for those netizens who don’t understand the situation and don’t know what kind of game “God’s Grace Continent” is, they were immediately stunned after watching the video.
One thousand yuan to play a month, and ten thousand yuan to play a year?
Oh my god!
What kind of fairy game is this? I have never heard of this kind of charging method, and even if it is charged monthly, why is it so expensive?
The impact is very bad!
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Lu proposed to sell the two games separately. The professional version is placed in the software area, and the personal version remains in the game area.
This way there won't be so many idiots making irresponsible remarks about charging standards.
"Can!"
Chen Ba calmly picked up the beef that Xiao Lu put into the pot, stuffed it into his mouth and tasted it: "Then it's up to you, sell them separately."
"However, if they are separated and separated, the personal version must also provide an upgrade window, leaving a channel for ordinary players to upgrade to the professional version."
The sales volume of the professional version of "God's Grace Continent" is not high, and there are only about 10,000 stable renewal users.
Among them, quite a few users come from major animation companies.
In addition, there are also many ordinary players who upgrade to the professional version in order to try something new or realize their dreams.
Although most of them left sadly...
But having said that, even though 99% of ordinary players are unable to exert the capabilities of the professional version of "God's Grace Continent" and create eye-catching animations.
But there is no shortage of geniuses in the world!
In October last year, a disabled player with the online name "Love You Not Lonely" relied on his self-taught professional knowledge and used one hand to complete a high-quality animation using the professional version of "God's Grace Continent".
After the animation was broadcast online, it quickly won praise from viewers across the Internet with its touching plot and vivid characters, and received a high score of 9.8 on the Penguin Video website.
Cumulative views exceeded 2 billion!
Lonely Brother achieved financial freedom with this work, and even sold the rights to adapt the sequel, joining the industry's famous Penguin Animation Company as the creative director.
It’s so inspiring!
Brother Loneliness is actually quite well educated, but he lost his left arm in a car accident and has been depressed all day long, feeling that his life is gloomy.
The professional version of "God's Grace Continent" allowed him to find his dream. He remembered his obsession and love for animation, so he decided to make an animation loyal to his dream for his dream.
Maybe the art industry really requires talent...
He is obviously a newcomer who has never been exposed to the animation industry, but he has produced an animation that is a hit every year and has even become popular abroad.
Trivia!
Lonely Brother first played the personal version of "God's Grace Continent", and the videos he posted were for self-entertainment.
But one netizen said that the animation he made is very good, but unfortunately the quality of the animation is holding him back. Now the entire network is full of God's grace animation produced in the professional version, and no one has watched the personal version.
So, he sponsored Brother Lonely and opened the professional version of "God's Grace Continent" for Brother Lonely for a whole year.
All I can say is that this netizen’s vision is really vicious!
He said that Lonely Brother was a genius, but it turned out that he was indeed a genius, even a peerless genius who astonished everyone.
Chen Ba retains the channel to promote the personal version to the professional version, and also hopes that another genius like Lonely Brother will appear...
The domestic animation industry really needs the second and third lonely brother!
