Chapter 11: Changing Ideas
Ma Yang packed up his things and went out, going to a nearby bookstore to buy professional books on game design.
Pei Qian didn't know if he could buy it, but with so many big bookstores, he could always find it, right?
In fact, at this time, some shopping platforms have appeared on the Internet, including websites that specialize in selling books.
However, many people have not yet turned this corner, and even some of the more sluggish students have not opened online banking.
For example, Ma Yang belongs to the more traditional kind of students, and when they think of buying books, their first choice is to run a bookstore, and only after reading some of the content do they decide whether to buy it or not.
Of course, this will change dramatically in the coming years.
Pei Qian returned to his bed, opened his laptop, and thought about what was next.
In the afternoon, Ma Yang returned.
Holding seven or eight books, there is also a tome, about two fingers thick, 16 folios, called "Outline of Advanced Programming".
There are a bunch of other books on top of that.
For example: "Survival Guide Beyond Code", "Program Development Management Guide", "Code Encyclopedia", "Design Patterns" and "Cervical Spondylosis Rehabilitation Guide".
Ma Yang feels that he has gained a lot.
Pei Qian flipped through the books that Ma Yang brought back, and finally stopped at this "Cervical Spondylosis Rehabilitation Guide".
What a preparation you have!
Have you even considered the possibility of cervical spondylosis in the future?
But the biggest problem faced by programmers is not cervical spondylosis, but death from overwork!
And you're not a programmer!
Before, Pei Qian saw that Ma Yang was so concerned and worked so this matter that he almost thought that he had chosen the wrong person.
As a result, after looking at the books selected by Ma Yang, Pei Qian was sure.
Ma Yang is his best partner, and he didn't run away!
You see, I went all the way out to the bookstore and picked up a few books.
It's useless, and you can't say it's useless at all.
Let's say it's useful, this one has an egg!
Typical white work.
Pei Qian patted Ma Yang on the shoulder: "Ma Yang, we are doing design, not programming." ”
"Besides, did you know that you use an editor to make games now?"
"Moreover, now that technology is exploding, the speed of innovation is too fast, and the technology in these books has long been semi-eliminated, and it is really useless."
Ma Yang's face turned pale: "I said why the bookstore has a discount!" It turned out that it couldn't be sold! ”
"I searched in the bookstore for a long time, but I couldn't find a book about design games, so I found these. When I saw the discount, I picked a few and bought them. ”
"What should I do, I won't return the discounted books!"
Ma Yang was a little flustered.
Pei Qian was completely relieved, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's good that you have this heart." If you don't think you can buy these books for nothing, then take a look at them, and they will still help a little. ”
Ma Yang was a little relieved when he heard this: "Then do you want to watch it?" We can take turns watching. ”
Pei Qian's face darkened, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no." ”
Whoever wants to read these books, the pillow is panicked!
Ma Yang lay on the bed and opened the thickest book, "Advanced Programming Summary".
After only five minutes of watching, there was a snoring sound on his bed.
Pei Qian was very satisfied.
Well, reliable!
Look at this attitude, 100 points!
Look at this ability again, 0 points!
Isn't this the designer you're looking for?
It's a pity that Pei Qian only knows one talent like Ma Yang.
If there are a few more, then Pei Qian will not be able to go to heaven? Lose 300,000, it's simple!
……
Pei Qian opened the official editor of ERSO, and ignored the fact that "Lonely Desert Highway" had added thousands of downloads today, and began to study the next plan.
As an indie game, the popularity often comes and goes quickly.
What's more, "Lonely Desert Highway" is a game that has no technical content and no sustainable gameplay.
In fact, Pei Qian had similar examples in his previous life, a game with poor quality, rough art resources, and boring gameplay exploded for some special reasons.
However, there are very few examples of this, and there may only be one or two of the hundreds of similar games.
Pei Qian never expected that this kind of thing could also be bumped into by himself!
In the next period of time, the popularity of "Lonely Desert Highway" will inevitably decline rapidly, and the number of downloads and income will naturally plummet, which is a normal phenomenon.
However, whether it plummets or not, this game has made real money, which is the most uncomfortable for Pei Qian.
After learning from the pain, Pei Qian decided to change his thinking.
This time, I can't do an indie game anymore, I have to change!
Because in the short term, Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd. has been tied to the game "Lonely Desert Highway" in the minds of players.
Pei Qian was faced with a dilemma:
To make a pit dad game, if you don't do it well, you have to replicate the success of "Lonely Desert Highway", even if it is not as popular as this, if you make a little money, it will be a devastating blow to Pei Qian;
But if you don't make a cheating game, make a normal indie game...... Maybe players will buy it because they think the game is of acceptable quality.
It's hard!
What's more, 300,000 yuan is used to make an independent game, which is a bit difficult to spend.
How expensive templates and art resources do you have to buy to spend 300,000 yuan?!
Moreover, after buying these very expensive art resources, the game is so beautiful, maybe it can attract a large number of appearance party players into the pit, but it still can't be lost!
Therefore, after thinking about it, Pei Qian decided to temporarily abandon these players who are keen on independent games and change fields.
300,000, doing a large-scale game, there is no power.
Although Pei Qian's goal is to lose money, it is still the same sentence, the finished product of the game must at least be made.
If the game fails to pass the review and the 300,000 system funds are spent but there is no result, the system will determine that this is a violation.
So, the money has to run out, and the game has to be made.
Pei Qian rummaged through the official platform and finally determined his goal.
Mobile game!
This is also a last resort, on the one hand, the money in hand is not enough to do a big game; On the other hand, indie games are not suitable for a short period of time.
Mobile gamers and indie gamers are not the same group.
Indie gamers may want to look at this new game because they know the company, but mobile gamers won't.
As long as the mobile game is rubbish enough, Pei Qian is sure that this game must be unpopular!
Once you've decided on the direction, it's time for market research.
Pei Qian entered the official game platform, flipped through all the popular mobile games, and downloaded several popular mobile games to experience it.
Pei Qian had noticed that in the field of mobile phones, the technology of the parallel world seemed to be much faster than in the previous life.
