Chapter 191 Azazel’s Plan
At the same time, Xingwangyuan Community.
Huang Wang, the only programmer on the Hell Front, was also yawning while paying attention to the situation of "Henggang Middle School Simulation".
Different from the last time "Lemur" was released, Azazel is also here this time!
Because it is already night, these hell demons can come out and move around.
For Huang Wang, he was used to working overtime at night, but it was a bit torture to have him stare at a garbage game that was destined to have no good reviews, and he couldn't play games or watch TV shows in the middle.
He doesn't even understand, what's the point of paying attention to this thing?
It was definitely an accident that "Lemur" became popular before. Who knows, someone actually took the lead in starting a cesspool butterfly swimming competition, and then so many speedrunners actively participated!
This time "Henggang Middle School Simulation" is absolutely impossible to have any speed pass player group to get involved.
As for whether this game can become popular in other ways?
Stop making trouble, Huang Wang himself is the producer of this game, how can he still not know what virtue this game is?
Just two words, no help!
Thinking of this, Huang Wang sighed: "Mr. Sa, should I say it or not, I should have used my plan in the first place! How nice to be the first person!"
After this period of working together, Huang Wang became less and less respectful of Azazel.
After all, as a programmer, you only get such a small salary every month, but you still respect a hammer?
The respect employees have for their boss mainly depends on how much salary he can get. With a monthly salary of 100,000, the company is my family; with a monthly salary of 3,000, the boss and I am your father!
As for Huang Wang, his initial salary was only 3,500, so he was already prepared to run away after "The Evil Dead" was released.
Unexpectedly, the game became popular.
And Azazel seemed to realize that Huang Wang might run away, so he appropriately increased his salary to 5,500 yuan.
This salary made Huang Wang a little entangled again, but he finally stayed and decided to make another game with Azazel.
Do you want to say this is a lot of money? It wouldn't be the case in the imperial capital.
But after all, Huang Wang himself has no real talent and knowledge. If he goes out to apply for jobs, the jobs he can find will probably be in the 3,000 level. So thinking about it this way, 5500 is quite fragrant.
So he finally stayed and helped Azazel develop the game "Henggang Middle School Simulation".
But even so, it is still difficult to buy the respect of a programmer with this money.
Therefore, as working hours went by, Huang Wang began to frequently put forward some of his own opinions on game projects.
Azazel didn't care much about this. He didn't care about the opposition within the company, as long as Huang Wang honestly completed the functions according to his design.
After all, if you want to completely eliminate this kind of noise, you must either give enough money or make the project a continuous success, and Azazel cannot do either of the two.
All the profits from the previous game had been handed over, and this time Huang Wang's salary was deliberately squeezed out of Lilith's new allocation by Azazel.
For Azazel, the most important thing at this time is to lose money in the game and earn a lot of negative emotions!
Only by getting these negative emotions can he feel proud in front of Lucifer, and once he gets Lucifer's attention, he can take the opportunity to propose more human financial support. By then, everything will be fine!
Faced with Huang Wang's dissatisfaction, Azazel smiled slightly: "Of course the current approach is better. You have to trust my judgment as a professional designer!"
Huang Wang curled his lips and said to himself, "I believe in your grandma's legs."
Unlike "Hell of Hell", Huang Wang was deeply involved in the game "Henggang Middle School Simulation" from the beginning.
Azazel asked Huang Wang a question at that time: "Which stage in your life do you think is the least free and the most painful?"
Huang Wang thought for a while and finally answered: "Senior year of high school."
Azazel didn't react for a moment: "As far as I know, high school only lasts three years!"
Huang Wang nodded: "Yes, I am a repeat student."
Azazel listened to Huang Wang in bewilderment as he told about his experience of repeating his studies at the county middle school. He expressed that he was greatly shocked. Thus, the game "Henggang Middle School Simulation" was born.
Because the school in the county where Huang Wang is located completely copied the model of Henggang Middle School. Although it only achieved about 70%, it has also caused permanent mental damage to Huang Wang.
But after the topic selection was successfully decided, a new question arose.
The two had huge differences over what type of game should be made on this subject.
Huang Wang strongly advocates that a first-person game should be made, whether it is an interactive movie game or an independent game. In short, the player should play an ordinary student of Henggang Middle School.
Azazel rejected this idea and believed that players should be allowed to play the principal of Henggang Middle School and create a business simulation game.
The result is of course unquestionable. Azazel is the boss after all, and the game was produced according to his plan.
But at this time, Huang Wang still felt that it was a pity. It was obviously a better choice for the players to play students!
Azazel smiled and said nothing.
Obviously, there are pros and cons to both approaches, but overall, Azazel believes the latter is more likely to lose money and create negative emotions.
Because he has done some research, he knows that interactive movie games that reveal reality are also likely to trigger strong reactions and make profits!
For example, there was an interactive movie game that exposed a school for rehabbing Internet addiction, which was quite popular.
Let players take the perspective of students. Although negative emotions can be generated more quickly in the early stage, too much negative emotions may cause players to reflect on and pay attention to real-life problems. By then, not only their negative emotions may be transformed into certain The positive emotions are more likely to cause heated discussions online and lead to game profitability.
If the game is profitable, three-quarters of the negative emotions will be taken away by Lilith!
So, it’s important to make sure your game isn’t profitable!
In comparison, although letting players play the role of the principal may create less negative emotions in the early stage, the possibility of making a profit from the game is greatly reduced.
Because if the protagonist is a student, the player is playing a role-playing game; if the protagonist is the principal, the player is playing a business simulation game.
Players' tolerance levels for these two game types are completely different.
When role-playing, players will have more empathy for the characters, and they can tolerate even if the gameplay is monotonous, because after all, it reflects reality;
But in business simulation games, if the gameplay is single, then players will have no fun at all.
Azazel did exactly this. He directly used the template of business simulation games, and also focused on the game "Prison Tycoon". He cut off most of the gameplay of business simulation games and retained only one. A small part barely supports the normal operation of "Henggang Middle School Simulation"!
In this way, players will definitely feel bored and be dismissed within two hours, and they will have a good amount of negative emotions before being dismissed!
The plan goes through!
