Chapter 6: This Game Is Toxic
scored 0 points on the first attempt, and this situation was the first time Qiu Hengyang had encountered it.
After the bird hung up, a game over interface popped up, recording the score and the best score this time, both of which were 0. However, there is also a ranking below the score, showing that Qiu Hengyang's current ranking is "--", which is obviously too low to be included in the ranking.
In addition, Qiu Hengyang noticed that at the top of this interface, there was a blank space that occupied a quarter of the screen, with three words written on it: "advertising space".
Qiu Hengyang nodded, these three words made his impression of the No. 7 designer change a little.
Qiu Hengyang is the founder of Hengyou.com, and has been active in the front line of game research and development, so he attaches great importance to the profit model and profitability of games.
A common problem with many beginners is that they don't design their games with a view to how they're profitable.
In fact, what is the best way to monetize a game should be considered by the designer at the beginning.
For this kind of casual mini-game, is it a download to pay? Or are there built-in ads? Different charging strategies have a big impact on the game itself.
This designer knows that there is an "advertising space" here, which means that he has this awareness, which is much stronger than those designers who are very good at drilling the horns.
Tap the screen again and the game starts again.
This time, Qiu Hengyang was already prepared, and he kept clicking on the screen, but the flight trajectory of this stupid bird was too difficult to control, Qiu Hengyang luckily flew over two water pipes, and fell headlong on the third water pipe.
"Nima!"
Qiu Hengyang is not convinced, Qiu Hengyang wants to come again.
Five minutes later, Qiu Hengyang had died dozens of times.
No way, this game is too easy to die, even if you play it with all your attention, it is very likely to overturn in three or four seconds.
And after you die, you click it again and start again.,I don't even need to think about the time at all.,Before you know it, you've played a lot of tricks.。
Qiu Hengyang's best score is 12, which is already a score that he only got after even trying to eat hard.
After trying more than a dozen times, Qiu Hengyang finally got his score to 14, and he felt that his whole person was a little confused.
However, Qiu Hengyang noticed that he had become 6th in the ranking on the game end screen.
Qiu Hengyang tried to click on it, and found that a leaderboard popped up, ranked from high to low according to the score.
Of course, the names on the leaderboard are all in the form of tourist XXXX, after all, it is impossible for Chen Mo to let every player fill in the username at the beginning, which will affect the game experience very much.
However, you are free to change your name in the leaderboard screen.
Qiu Hengyang flipped down, and couldn't help but be shocked, there were 543 people on the entire list!
There are only 700 players in total, and more than 500 people have played this mini-game? This is simply against the sky! How can it be?
Qiu Hengyang originally thought that most people would not be interested in this game, but he didn't expect that there were many more people who liked this moth game than he imagined.
Qiu Hengyang couldn't help but feel a little proud, more than 500 people ranked sixth, this achievement is quite worth showing off!
Qiu Hengyang clicked on his username and changed it to his real name.
He flipped through the charts and found that the leaderboard was still changing, as if it was refreshed every five to ten seconds, and it was quite frequent.
As a result, looking at the names on the leaderboard constantly going up and down, Qiu Hengyang really had a feeling of "this game is very lively".
Flipping up again, Qiu Hengyang was shocked, because the first place in the ranking was 47 points!
Nima!
Qiu Hengyang almost wanted to die, how did he do this, such a perverted game can score 47 points? It's open, right?
The first few have not changed their names, and they probably haven't discovered this feature yet.
Qiu Hengyang is obviously not convinced, not to mention that he is only 13 points now, and he is only temporarily ranked sixth, and he may be overtaken at any time.
"Play for another five minutes, and then go try out the other games."
Qiu Hengyang turned off the ranking and fought again.
……
Soon, ten minutes were up, and the effect of the superfocuser was over.
"What an inexplicable game...... I've been playing for so long, Nima. ”
A middle-aged man with glasses quits flappybird, and a prompt pops up on the interface: "Would you like to recommend this game to others?" ”
The middle-aged uncle hesitated for a moment and clicked "Recommend".
Specifically, because I can't say anything, it's probably because of the mentality of "I can't be masochized alone".
As of now, the list of "flappybird" has reached 589 people, and it continues to rise.
This is because people have a herd mentality, and some viewers know each other in private, and they are all competing with each other to see who has a higher score; Moreover, the audience was able to see other people's screens, and after seeing so many people playing the bird game, some viewers who weren't otherwise affected by the superfocuser were also drawn in.
After the Super Focuser failed, more than half of the players quit the game, but only a small percentage of them chose "Not Recommended" and the rest chose "Recommended".
As for the rest of the players...... Of course, it's still frantically brushing points.
Lin Hai noticed that Shi Huazhe, who was sitting next to him, did not look very good, and asked with concern, "What's wrong, you're not feeling well?" ”
Shi Huazhe shook his head: "Oh, it's okay. ”
Lin Hai felt that Shi Huazhe's eyes were a little flickering, and he was still secretive, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.
As a result, he inadvertently glanced at Shi Huazhe's screen and found that it was the results panel of "flappybird": "This time, the best score: 4." ”
Lin Hai hurriedly turned his head and almost laughed, it turned out that Shi Huazhe was angry about this matter. It's true that after ten minutes of play, the best score is only 4 points, and I can't even rank in the top 200 on the leaderboard, which makes everyone angry.
Lin Hai didn't ask much very interestingly.
The experience game session continued, and the whole session lasted for an hour, and only more than ten minutes had passed.
Nearly 600 of the 700 viewers have played Flappybird, but only a small percentage of them are still playing it, and the rest have gone on to play other games.
Chen Mo is not worried, when the host introduced the game before, he already had a general understanding of the level of other participating games, which was basically unsightly.
Except for one or two that are of good quality, Chen Mo can't look down on other games at all. Compared to "Flappybird"?
Well, let's put it this way. The graphics, resources, and content richness of these games are all complete to "flappybird", but is it really better than the game duration and transmission speed?
I'm not targeting anyone, I mean all of you are scumbags.
Sure enough, the vast majority of viewers quickly shut down after trying out the other games and opened FlappyBird again.
It's not that this game is so fun, it's mainly for scoring points!
If you don't say it's toxic, it's really boring, boring, and very masochistic to play for a while, but as long as you turn it off for five minutes, you'll want to open it again.
Seeing the audience's reaction, Chen Mo had a bottom in his heart. Now his only concern is what the three judges think.
If these three judges agree on the same opinion, they will directly give themselves a no? That's no fun either!
However, as long as one judge recognizes his game, then the first place must be himself!
