Chapter 537 535. The terrible ten consecutive draws
There are several advantages to making it in the form of FGO. First, the hardware level of current mobile phones is not enough to support mobtype mobile game products. Just playing with it will not have enough memory, and it will easily freeze and get hot.
The best thing to do is to make a turn-based game product like FGO that does not require interaction with other people, or asynchronous interaction (pseudo-interaction, non-real-time interaction).
Relying on Bomi's own technical level, the software can be optimized very well and run smoothly and stress-free.
At the same time, the best thing about this product is that what the game needs to sell is not the gameplay itself, but the illustrations and characters.
Now Bomi has a deep accumulation of Honor of Kings users, coupled with the previous promotion of various product associations, many of the characters of Honor of Kings, including those appearing in derivatives, have become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they have been made into card games like FGO. Using the card drawing mode, you can definitely make a lot of money.
The development difficulty is low, the development workload is small, the existing mobile phone hardware has high support, does not require much interaction, and it also has strong ability to attract money. Where can such a good product be found in the world?
"Why did you suddenly think of making Honor of Kings on the mobile game?" Lai Yuling said while thinking, "Glory of Kings has stopped development for a long time. Are we going to make a sequel on mobile phones?"
But the story of Glory of Kings feels like it's almost been explored.
On the other hand, the island country is still making related products along the lines of the Destiny of Kings series.
"Yes, but it's not a sequel. It's "Glory of the King/Grand Order"" Cao Yang said seriously.
"Huh?!" Lai Yuling covered her face, "Boss, can you speak Chinese?"
"Ahem," Cao Yang clenched his hand into a fist, put it to his mouth and coughed twice.
If you are really excited at the moment, you will easily make some small mistakes.
"It's "Glory of the King/Grand Order"" Cao Yang picked up the marker and wrote a few words on the whiteboard.
At the same time, the GrandOrder was also written down.
Lai Yuling looked at the whiteboard and couldn't speak for a long time.
Damn it.
What is this?
I obviously know every word, but why can't I understand it?
I feel like I have learned both Chinese and English in vain.
"Grand designation" is not a blind translation by the Chinese, but is included in the original Japanese design.
In the past, Nishikawa held the order of the family of the same family.
Magic World におけるもっともlofty なbloodの掟.
The clan's journey is over, its mission is to die, and its mission is to die.
The designation of the title of それが——グランドオーダーと氰れるものだ.
The magician's family lineage is the beginning of the magician's family, and the god's teaching is the responsibility of the family.
What exactly does "Grand Order" mean? In previous lives, there were only three official explanations given in different plots:
1. Holy Grail Quest
2. The "divinely appointed" mission of the magic family
3. Designation of human rights protection.
Of course, it is not impossible to regard these three as the same meaning, it depends on how you make up your mind.
"You can understand it as [great designation]" Cao Yang explained to Lai Yuling.
In the Honor of Kings series and the derived Destiny series, masters and followers are eternal settings, and there is also a very important bond setting -
The Master has Command Spells, and he can use Command Spells to force his followers to execute instructions.
But more than that, the concept conveyed in the game is-
The bond between the Master and the Servant is something that exists deep in the heart and cannot be shaken.
So according to this meaning, Grand Order can also be understood as the great contract between the master and the servant.
Or called the Great Contract.
After listening to Boss Cao's explanation, although Lai Yuling was still confused, she couldn't help but admire her in her heart -
The boss is worthy of being a boss. After so many years, you are still the person who knows the King of Glory best.
Someone like me, who I've written stories and copy for for so many years, is nothing compared to you.
But it's right to think about it. All the settings and stories of the original “Honor of Kings” came from the boss. Even senior Ai Xiaomi was just a [tool man].
Lai Yuling couldn't stop trembling in her heart when she recalled the time when she was beaten by her boss and kept awake at night while writing.
Well…
No…
I feel out of breath.
Could it be—
Is this my destiny?
Are you about to experience a new round of deep fear of being dominated by your boss?
But Lai Yuling is very creative. This time she is no longer the copywriter she used to be. She can definitely find another school girl to write this story.
"I want to make this "Honor of Kings/Grand Order" into a card game." Cao Yang said.
"ha?!"
Li Lanyun and Lai Yuling looked at Cao Yang in confusion at the same time, not understanding what he was talking about.
Card drawing games have not become popular yet. To be precise, although card games originated from blind boxes in island countries, they were promoted by mobile games in previous lives.
But before that, many domestic games were already doing similar things, but they were not systematic and formalized yet.
What the country has been doing is to achieve luck and differentiation through monster drops and item probabilities, allowing players to earn as much krypton gold as possible while also ensuring the price of items.
Fantasy Westward Journey is a typical example of online games.
After entering the era of mobile games, the first game that had cards was probably a game called "Tiantian Cool Run" launched by Penguin. In this game, you can buy different characters.
But this is not as scary as the ten consecutive draws later. Many characters have clearly marked prices, and you can buy them as long as you spend money.
Therefore, mobile games at this stage are not very profitable.
Then it wasn't until the game "Dota Legend" in 2012 that card drawing truly turned into a legendary version.
But this game is still learned from island countries.
As early as 2010, SE had already made a card-drawing version of the web game called "Crystal Knight". The card-drawing mechanism in this game has begun to take shape, and subsequent card-drawing games are basically the same. The routine:
In this game, there are more than 150 different characters. Different characters have different skills and value panels. Players can obtain them through unboxing, and they have the right to open the box for free once a day.
Sound familiar?
But the island country has had a similar tradition of unboxing for a long time, which can be traced back to the blind box, or gashapon machine, in the island country.
It is precisely because of these card drawing modes that make you feel extremely exciting that huge profits have been generated.
Now, Cao Yang thinks it's time for players to see what a real card drawing game is.
“First of all, in our game, we need to make all the characters that have appeared in the Honor of Kings series, including the Destiny series, into a card, or exist in the form of a card.
Players can obtain cards, which are their followers, through some specific channels, allowing the followers to fight.
The battle mode is still the same turn-based route. "
Although Cao Yang always felt that the card battle design of FGO in his previous life was stupid, but he felt that after getting used to it, he still liked it. This time he was not going to change the battle design.
Anyway, the main purpose of players playing this game is to raise servants, and it doesn't matter whether they fight or not.
As long as the vertical painting looks good.
Cao Yang spent more than an hour explaining to Lai Yuling how to play the game.
Lai Yuling was confused by what she heard, especially about what force cards, fast cards, and skill cards were, how to link them together, how to trigger effects...it was really **** complicated and disgusting.
But when she heard what her boss said about the card drawing system, she suddenly became interested.
"Wow, this system is really interesting. It feels like playing a gashapon machine," Lai Yuling said.
right.
now it's right.
What you want is this feeling.
And it originally originated from the gashapon machine.
"But...Boss, isn't this gambling?" Li Lanyun asked worriedly.
"It's not like we haven't done probabilistic draws before." Cao Yang said with a smile, "According to domestic laws, it's enough to state the probabilities clearly without any fraud, so that players know the probability of getting each card. It's up to the players themselves.”
Cao Yang drew the implementation of the entire card drawing system on the whiteboard.
Generally speaking, there are many variations of card drawing systems, each with its own different focus.
For example, it is necessary to control the appearance of multiple items at the same time, to control the player's subsequent drawing behavior, to control how many drawing cards and what content will appear...
All of these are actually possible, the key lies in how you want to design it.
Cao Yang is talking about a more general card drawing system design. First, create a large lottery array, and then package the items into different lottery combinations. You can number them according to your own design, such as group 1, group 2, and group 3. At the same time, put your own designed items into these groups.
For example, there are 5-star cards and 4-star cards in group 1, and there are 4-star and 3-star cards in group 2...
Then now set the weights of each group in the large group to ensure the players' drawing probability, and then do the group weighting to ensure the drawing probability of each card...
This completes a card drawing pool.
Of course, you can also design multiple card drawing pools, large or small.
But the basic program functions are nothing more than a few: combination and weight.
After hearing what Cao Yang said about the design, both Li Lanyun and Lai Yuling couldn't help but applaud him.
The boss is worthy of being a boss, he has even designed how to implement it.
And according to their understanding, there will be many variations of this card drawing mode in the future.
"Oh, by the way, there is another very interesting setting," Cao Yang continued, "We want to make a guarantee for players with bad faces."
"Guarantee?" Lai Yuling narrowed her eyes.
"Because some people are born with dark faces and very bad luck. They may not get a five-star card for ten consecutive draws, and maybe their cost has exceeded the value of the card itself. If you continue, Draw twice and this person may be lost from our game.
Moreover, the impact on word-of-mouth of the game is not very good, and it is easy for people to criticize.
So we can make a guaranteed design. For example, if you draw ten times in a row, you will definitely get a 5-star card.
Or give the player a luck value. When the player does not draw a 5-star card, the luck value will accumulate. When a certain amount is accumulated, the next time the player draws a card, a 5-star card will definitely be drawn.
After drawing 5 stars, the luck value is reset to zero.
If there is a guarantee like this, the player's experience will not be too bad, because it means that you have not drawn the card, but you can spend 1.5 times or 2 times the value of the card itself to buy it.
It's just given to them through a guaranteed card draw.
At the same time, it can also help them regain their confidence and stop thinking that they are a waste that is not favored by God and has no luck. "
"Okay boss." Lai Yuling took notes seriously.
Li Lanyun remained silent beside him.
He silently calculated in his mind how much extra revenue this mode would bring to the game.
After thinking about it, Li Lanyun's eyes suddenly widened—
Damn it.
If the boss's card drawing mode really generates high profits, then I'm afraid the entire game world will be rewritten again!
"Then for this product, you have to find someone to fill in the main line. Yu Ling, record it first, and then you can have a meeting with Nasu Mushroom in the island country to discuss it. After all, this game will be released globally, and the island country is also very important. important market.
And they understand the model better than we do.
Maybe it would be better for them to find someone to write the story than us. "
"Okay boss." Lai Yuling agreed.
"Others don't matter. If you have a better card battle design, use yours. But I only have two requirements. First:
The vertical painting must be beautiful.
Cards must be exquisite, and they must be able to change in appearance with continuous evolution.
Second, we must use this card drawing system to commercialize it. "
Cao Yang emphasized again.
Ten consecutive draws and card drawings are bound together, and the two are inseparable, and this game must have ten consecutive draws to let everyone know how powerful this system is.
"Okay boss."
Afterwards, Cao Yang checked some details with them, and the discussion on the direction of the game for today was almost complete.
"Very good, that is to say, there are two more games worth looking forward to this year, and at least two more games to be released next year." Cao Yang nodded and smiled happily, "Next year's Bomi Guodian Exhibition, you continue to attend Well, it must be very respectable.”
"Huh?" Li Lanyun looked at him doubtfully.
The Bomi Guodian Expo is now the world's top game expo, or to be precise, it should be an electronics expo. Not only will the game products of major companies be displayed at the exhibition, but there will also be many future electronic products, comics, and movies. Waiting for product display…
The scale of the Bomi International Electronics Show is getting bigger and bigger now, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the Oscar Award in the gaming industry.
This year's Bomi International Electronics Exhibition was very lively, but Cao Yang had many things to do and did not attend. Instead, he asked Li Lanyun to attend on his behalf.
Li Lanyun is the CEO of Bomi Interactive Entertainment, so it doesn't matter if he attends.
It's just that this boss usually keeps a low profile. Although people in the industry are familiar with him, this is not the case for players. Therefore, when players saw the face of an unfamiliar middle-aged man this year, they were actually somewhat disappointed.
I thought I could meet Boss Cao at the exhibition, but I didn't expect to end up here.
However, Bomi's games are still good, so this year's China Electronics Show did not disappoint everyone, but Li Lanyun was a little hurt in his heart.
"Okay, okay boss." Li Lanyun instinctively wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. He felt quite honored to participate because he was promoting his own company's products.
Just like the boss said, when you have a product that you are very proud of, you are very happy to show it to the world.
Therefore, it is a very honorable thing to attend with the company's products.
Li Lanyun thought about it and thought it wasn't bad.
But should I ask Ai Xiaomi to introduce one or two more powerful stylists next year?
but…
Cao Yang looked at Lai Yuling and stared at her face in a daze. The girl was so frightened that she quickly covered her collar.
In fact, Cao Yang was also thinking about a question -
Would it be better to have a cute girl like Lai Yuling attend next year's Bomi International Electronics Show?
