Number One Game Designer

Hongyi's carnival is actually a bit like a theme park in essence. Players here can see all kinds of characters they like break through the dimension wall and come to reality. It is a very different experience to communicate with themselves.

However, for these alone, a theme park like Disney is too expensive, and it is easy to make ends meet, so there is a form of carnival, which is not only much cheaper than the park, but also attracts investment. Players saw their favorite characters and bought peripheral figures of their favorite characters. Merchants sold things and gained a reputation. As the organizer, Hongyi gained greater influence and a lot of money. All three parties were satisfied with the sponsorship fees and ticket fees, so this was a very successful carnival.

Therefore, under this purpose, the content on the central stage is not very important. In fact, this is just an appearance stage prepared by Fang Xi for the Juggernaut, announcing to the world that there is a new form of life, or The birth of intelligence.

Although this wisdom is still very young, everything has a beginning stage, and Fang Xi can afford it.

And the main content of the first day is the Eternal World Tournament. If this game really only depends on the audience in the offline game, it will not be able to support it at all, so although the audience on the spot whispered to each other, after half an hour on the Internet, the foreshadowing has already been completed. In full swing.

To put it bluntly, it is easy to limit the scale of offline competitions due to crowded audiences and other reasons. For example, Hongyi’s carnival this time only allowed more than 100,000 people to come to this city with a floating population of more than 10 million. Immediately, the air was blocked, and the air tickets skyrocketed...

Of the more than 100,000 people who came here to watch the World Championships live, there might not be one out of ten. In other words, there may be only 10,000 people who will be able to watch the game seriously.

It’s different on the Internet. For example, the number of viewers of several major live broadcast platforms in China may not be twice the population of the earth. It makes people very suspicious whether these companies have mastered the technology of cross-dimensional communication, so that other The dimensional audience is also included.

The words are so ridiculous, but of course Fang Xi, as the organizer, can get the real data.

"The online audience in the Asia-Pacific region is 1.25 million, and the audience in other regions is more than 300,000. It is still warming up, and the data is still growing." This is the data reported by Xiaolan.

Fang Xi nodded to express his understanding.

In terms of new media, there is a term called conversion rate. That is to say, for example, within 24 hours after you write an article, not all fans will go to read it. Usually, the number of fans and the number of views or clicks will remain at the same 10. %, that is to say, if you post a new video, if you have one million fans, then after 24 hours, the regular view volume of this video will be in the early 100,000s. If it is a particularly high-quality video, it will reach 200,000 or even 300,000.

Now it seems that the game is the same. Although Hongyi has more than 30 million players around the world, first of all, not everyone is interested in the game, and secondly, not everyone has the time. Secondly, the game is held in Huaxia District , it is still midnight in the Americas at this time, so there are even fewer people watching.

And there is still a curve in the game. Some people who are only a little interested in the game may not be interested in the current group stage, so to see the highest number of viewers, you need to wait for the final game.

In short, 125 plus 30 equals 155, which is almost equivalent to a 5% conversion rate. Fang Xi is already somewhat satisfied. Because this is still a new type of event in the final analysis, and regardless of the low conversion rate, the number of viewers can kill many games in seconds.

Beside Fang Xi is Lu Tao. At this moment, Lu Tao looks a bit haggard. He was sent by Fang Xi to complete the new game without giving specific targets. He is very free. Lu Tao is not used to this feeling, so he set himself a Big indicators, every day to participate in the training of biology, to participate in the training of painting, to participate in the advanced training of game production,

Not to mention the miscellaneous courses such as world view construction, game director's guide, etc. Now Lu Tao thought that he was back to the difficult third year of high school.

It was also the season when the eternity in Lu Tao's hands had officially blossomed for the first time, and Fang Xi finally had someone lift Lu Tao out of his office.

"Is there a feeling of watching your son finally grow up and be beaten by players?"

Lu Tao raised his eyebrows:

"Your analogy in front of it is quite warm, what the hell is this turning point in the back?"

Fang Xi smiled and changed the subject:

"But you don't feel much when you look at the most successful game in the world that you have handled yourself?"

The game media often follow the manufacturer, just like the game media will make all kinds of predictions before the opening of E3, and will also do all kinds of logical analysis. Of course, Hongyi’s carnival is no exception, but Hongyi The history of China is too short, and the media can only adopt the method of touting, looking forward to the future and so on.

A typical example is that IGN directly called Eternity the most successful game in this century, because it has a far-leading number of players. This online game now has more than 30 million players worldwide, and it has spread into this world like a virus. In every corner of the world, according to their investigation, even in places like Mexico, where drug fans are more powerful than the government, there are teenagers who start to dream of becoming professional e-sports players. This is enough to see how powerful this game is. .

On the other hand, for games, the number of players is of course the most intuitive thing. In this world, there is only one online game with tens of millions of players, and it is directly 30 million. As for the others...whether domestic or foreign However, there are quite a few third-rate and unscrupulous small websites that have a lot of "proclaimed" XXX online games produced by XX that have been built with tens of millions of dollars and tens of millions of players are looking forward to. Fang Xi didn't pay attention at all.

"My feeling is that," Lu Tao raised his head at this point, and there was a hint of enthusiasm on his malnourished face at the moment:

"I want to make a game beyond eternity!"

Fang Xi nodded: "I like you."

Fang Xi said this sincerely. To be honest, it is almost inevitable to update the game. No matter how popular the game is, it cannot escape this law. It can only be said that the result will be delayed a lot, but it is unavoidable. In Fang Xi's eyes, the greatest meaning of eternity is not the game itself, but the mechanism and rules of the club and the league that have been perfected by this game. As long as these skeletons exist, eternity will not work even if it takes five years, so Fang Xi can continue. Engage in a game to promote it to replace eternity.

Just like the game lines that Fang Xi heard in the last time and space: The throne has no eternity. The throne of the best game is not eternal, and the more competitive the market, the better the game will be. From this point of view, Fang Xi is looking forward to Lu Tao's ambition.
