Game Designers: You Don’t Understand Charity

   A few days later, the Penguin Game Department.

"how is it going?"

   "Ministry, Minister?!"

  Seeing Yan Kang's arrival, the person in charge of the technical team got up nervously and reported in detail.

   "Minister Hui, there is a ready-made template replica of Fengyun Game Network, and the game construction is very smooth."

   "Now the game testing is basically going well, and the basic functions are available. I just wait for the art team to provide a corresponding scene material."

   "With the current degree of completion of the game, it will be put on the market immediately, and there is no problem."

  Yan Kang nodded in satisfaction.

   This is why he and Wu Ke chose to develop this type of game.

   In the early stage of the game, there is actually no need for such a comprehensive map and character design.

  As the opening time of the game goes on, in the name of unlocking new maps, it is good to slowly supplement the parts that were not completed when the game was launched.

  The development time and cost of this operation will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

   It is better to predict whether the game will continue to be popular in the future through the popularity of the game in the early stage.

  But... Yan Kang sneered, there are multiple promotional channels from other game companies, as well as the support of the headquarters.

  Whether this game is popular or not is not what Yan Kang needs to worry about.

   Immediately, Yan Kang's face turned cold.

   "Since this is the case, why haven't we launched the announcement of the game yet?"

   "Didn't I tell you, once the game is successfully completed, report it immediately and step up promotion."

  The person in charge shrank his neck and hurriedly explained.

   "Because we have disagreements with the planning team on the game's anti-addiction mechanism, so the relevant code has not been added yet."

   "Anti-addiction mechanism?" Yan Kang frowned.

   "Yes." The person in charge said honestly.

  "When we reproduced the Moore Manor of Fengyun Jiujiu Game Network, we found that this game has a very strict anti-addiction mechanism."

  “…If you accumulate 45 minutes online, a break reminder will pop up, and if you accumulate 2 hours online, the income will be halved.”

   “Even shutting down the server from 0:00 to 6:00 every day.”

   "What's more, they also launched a parent management system and a children's browser to facilitate the management and control of the account's online and a series of behaviors."

   "According to the analysis of the planning team, this should be a function added to suit the gimmick of our own children's online games."

   "It's okay to say the former, but it may take a lot of time to realize the latter..."

   "What did I think it was? Do you still need to discuss this trivial matter?!" Yan Kang waved his hand and interrupted the person in charge's explanation.

   "All those irrelevant things should be banned."

"cancel all of them?"

   "That's right." Yan Kang gave the person in charge a cold look.

   "We are in the game industry, what's the use of sending rest reminders to the players hypocritically."

   "Game developer, who doesn't want players to spend 24 hours on the game, this kind of anti-addiction or something, just go through the motions."

   "The registration mechanism can be bypassed by casually using an adult information ID number, does not check the correctness, and provides three chances to change."

   "The longer the game is online, the income will be improved."

   "In addition, add the sign-in function, just send some mosquito legs as a bonus, anyway, a group of young players can't see anything."

   "This...isn't that good?" The person in charge was a little terrified.

  Although it is a commonly used method in their profession in games, it still feels somewhat inappropriate to use it in online games for children.

  This operation strategy is good for players with little game addiction, but it is undoubtedly very guiding for players with low self-control ability.

  Yan Kang glanced coldly, "There's nothing wrong with it, just do it. Next, I want to see the game go online immediately, understand?!"

   "Yes!" The person in charge was ashamed and responded repeatedly.

  …

   Not long after, Penguin's new online game appeared on the homepage of Yuanyuan Game Network, surpassing other games, and was placed in the top recommendation position.

   "Hey, Origin Game Network has released a new online game? What is it called... Mole Manor?"

   "Wait, isn't this thing a copy of Moore Manor, which has been in the limelight recently?!"

   "Let me see, it's a game produced by Penguin, so it probably didn't run away. Pfft, it's really the third one."

   "Tsk tsk tsk, let me tell you, why didn't they just copy all the 10,000 games on Fengyun Jiujiu Game Online, laugh to death."

   "One thing to say, one thing, indeed."

  On the Internet, the first batch of players who heard the news were naturally well-informed, and it was easy to see the penguin's skin-changing and re-engraving method.

  For a while, yin and yang tones abound.

   What's more, someone has already posted the matter to the Moore Manor's post bar, and while gaining the attention of a large number of players, cynicism suddenly arose.

   In this regard, the Penguin Public Relations Department did not respond in the slightest.

   This is something that Yan Kang had expected a long time ago. When a latecomer enters the market, he must be mentally prepared to be pointed at. There is no fluctuation in his heart.

  In his eyes, netizens on the Internet are not much different from goldfish. It is common for them to be enthusiastic about such things for only seven days, and even forget them in a blink of an eye.

  In real life, it’s time to eat and sleep. Who would really toss and turn and sleepless at night because of some injustices they saw on the Internet?

  The best way to restrain Keyboard Man is to play dead.

  Everything is proceeding according to Yan Kang's plan. Against the criticism of the players, secretly, the channel promotion with the assistance of Penguin and other game companies has already been carried out with great fanfare.

  Invite celebrity endorsements to attract idol fans, cooperate with the major video up masters of Bizhan, arrange popular recommendation slots in the channel app, and shoot various short videos and advertisements to seize the players' vision.

  After a smooth operation, the reputation of Mole Manor was also released.

  The number of players is increasing at the expected speed.

  …

   "Brother Sun, we have already had no less than twenty third-tier anchors contact us."

   "It is said that the business cooperation of the game "Mole Manor" has been obtained from Penguin. Can we accept it?"

   "Counting the previous seven or eight second-tier anchors and several first-line anchors, the anchors on our side who received business cooperation invitations accounted for 60 to 70%."

   "You see this is...?"

  A fish platform live broadcast company.

  Sun Quansi was thoughtful while listening to the report of the people below.

   Judging from Penguin's actions, the other party's new web game is imperative.

  As the old management of the live broadcast platform, he can feel the extremely firm attitude of the other party hidden under this promotion cooperation.

  Really, one wave of ups and downs and another wave of ups and downs.

  Sun Quansi sighed.

   “Let them decide.”

   "Isn't it just for the sake of living in the live broadcasting business, and eating the ones over there is not eating." Sun Quansi's words revealed helplessness.

   "We don't care whether the second- and third-tier anchors accept business cooperation. The first-line anchors who have received invitations tell them to let them make a decision by themselves. The future is their own, and we are not responsible."

"So be it."

  The subordinate nodded thoughtfully and said suddenly.

   "There are also people from the Penguin side contacting us, wanting to consult the anchor Mu Mu to take over their business promotion chips."

  Sun Quansi turned around and sneered.

   "Looking for Yun Mumu?"

   "...the Penguin marketing team, I'm afraid they just recruited a few new employees who haven't experienced anything in the world."

  …
