"Change the shortcut keys?" Qi Changwei looked at this big boss who was younger than himself with some surprise.
This is the first time he has attended a Rising Sun Technology meeting as the leader of the Qifan Game Group. Of course, not all the senior executives of Xuri Technology were present at the meeting, not even the heads of other game groups.
After all, everyone is very busy, so the only people holding this meeting are Chairman Assistant Sun Yang, his current leader Ma Fang, and the backstage technicians and game development team members responsible for Qifan.
Yesterday, I met the big boss for the first time. After hearing the big boss's emphasis on the sail platform and future plans, Qi Changwei and others were so excited that they fell asleep late at night. Who would have thought that today's first meeting would go straight to the most basic, seemingly inconspicuous, but very important thing to borrow money.
You must know that Qifan Platform's Kuai Lian Qian is one of the reasons why its products can break out of the popular battle game market, because such a person who designed the entire Qifan Platform and voted on which keys to use for shortcut keys is now I also feel like this decision was a stroke of genius.
Who would have thought that the big boss who looked so amiable yesterday and whom they regarded as their confidant would actually attack on this point. It’s a new company with a new atmosphere, and it’s not like they’re unwilling to make some changes to the game. After all, since the boss has changed, it is natural to meet the requirements of the current salary boss for the game, but this basic change...
"Compared with DOTA's shortcut key setting that makes novices feel awkward, the current ALT plus C, E, W, and D skill shortcut keys on the sail platform are indeed much simpler.
Moreover, it is also very convenient to add 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 shortcut keys to the item bar in ALT, which can allow new players to get started faster and improve the sense of operation.
But such buttons are actually relatively troublesome. My opinion is to remove the ALT button. The four skill shortcut keys are set to Q, W, E, and R in a straight line. It works well just by placing your fingers on it.
Nine item slots are too many. It would be more reasonable to change it to six. Otherwise, a warrior can carry three pieces of output equipment and three pieces of meat equipment. Without the must-buy shoes, there are still two space keys to buy equipment.
This inadvertently lengthens the game time. Not only does it make players tired after a round, but it can also easily cause some heroes to be too invincible and impossible to kill, affecting the player's gaming experience. "Yang Dongxu said while the assistant next to him was switching pictures on the projector.
Finally, there is a video that Yang Dongxu requested yesterday afternoon. After the technical team simply changed the shortcut keys, two novices who had never played before used the changed shortcut keys and the old shortcut keys to compare the operations.
Originally, Qi Changwei and other old people on these sailing platforms must have felt uncomfortable when they heard that they were operating on such a basic foundation. Are you still worried that after this change, the sail-raising platform will still be the sail-raising platform?
After seeing the operation screen after the change, even though I am still a little reluctant to the highlight design before, I have to admit that the new shortcut key changes are indeed better than before.
As for the change from 9 prop slots to 6, it was not demonstrated due to time reasons, and this thing requires a lot of data comparison.
But the experts here can easily tell the pros and cons. Besides, when a hero was just released on the platform before, everyone rushed to play it, which ruined the balance of the game. In the end, various changes had to be made, not once or twice.
Therefore, reducing the item bar can indeed further restrict the attributes of some heroes. Let the game be more balanced, otherwise a warrior with a high output can still carry a few pieces of meaty equipment. It is really unreasonable to have meat and be able to fight at the same time.
"But what about those players who were familiar with the buttons before?" Qi Changwei couldn't help but ask.
This is undoubtedly a key issue that everyone is worried about.
"Set the shortcut key settings to a type that can be changed according to your preferences, and place them in the game screen settings. In this way, if old players are not used to the new shortcut key operations, they can manually set them to the old version of the keys and save them.
And the free setting of this shortcut key can also attract original DOTA players to come over. After all, compared to the old players who are not used to the new shortcut keys, DOTA players are not used to your current shortcut keys, so this time the change is in place. Yang Dongxu said.
Qi Changwei and others nodded, feeling a little awkward for sure, but they had to say that this setting was more reasonable than before.
Even before, only shortcut skill keys such as ALT+C, W, E, and D were set, and the original DTOA tool bar was changed from 6 to 9 now.
It is not without reason that this game is basically a modified version of "Dynasty Warriors". It cannot copy everything, and some changes need to be made to save face.
"The entire change will be completed as soon as possible. If there are not enough technical staff, we can cooperate with other game group applicants. Assistant Sun will help you coordinate.
In short, these changes need to be made before the game enters a major maintenance and a new server is replaced, and internal testing of the game is conducted to determine its stability and normal game smoothness. "Yang Dongxu knocked on the table, attracting everyone from their imagination after changing the skill shortcut keys.
"Guaranteed to complete the task." Malaysia directly stated its position.
Although Qi Changwei and others must be responsible for the salary content, as the current boss of the game group, he must show his attitude as soon as possible.
"Well, Team Leader Qi is not familiar with Rising Sun Technology yet. Please take more care of us. Now let's discuss the second topic, about the design and charging of new heroes."
Currently, all heroes on the Sailing Platform are free for players to use. You heard me right, they are free to use. Including some newly designed heroes, they are completely free to use.
Therefore, players only need to worry about whether they can operate this hero well. They don’t have to worry about whether they can afford this hero after it comes out. There is only one reason for not using the new hero after entering the game, and that is that your teammates snatched it away first. You didn't get it.
Currently, after participating in the game on the Sailing Platform, there are no gold coins to be obtained. Only experience can be used to increase the platform level, and there is no gold coin in any other game.
"Hero fee?" Qi Changwei and several former colleagues looked at each other and basically frowned.
Whether it is DOTA or Dynasty Warriors, there is no charge to play heroes. Because charging will destroy the balance and experience of the game. Rich people can buy a large group of heroes to play one and another, but what about players who have no money?
"Heroes are charged, not only for the new heroes to be launched, but also for the old heroes."
"What should players do if they don't have money to buy heroes?" Qi Changwei asked.
This is undoubtedly a big problem. Not everyone is willing to spend money to buy virtual heroes. Many players may choose money between playing games and money. Other games are afraid that they don't have enough players. Now the Internet is an era where traffic is king. How can your boss be so obsessed with trying to persuade players of his own game to quit?
“Choose heroes such as warriors, mages, and archers that are easy for new players to use and make them completely free. Just don’t have too many heroes or two.
Then, five of the remaining heroes will be randomly selected according to different professions such as warrior, tank, mage and so on every week for free trial use for one week.
In this way, plus the one or two heroes that can be obtained by registering an account and going online, novice players will have six or seven heroes to choose from. The free trial heroes rotate once a week so that players will not get bored playing only one hero.
If you really play the free trial, it feels very useful, just like your own hero. If it is not the free week for this hero and you still want to use this hero, then spend money to purchase it.
This purchase does not mean that you must top up money. In addition to gaining platform level experience during normal battles, there is also a gold coin acquisition function. You can get a certain amount of gold coins at the end of a battle. If you want to play your favorite hero but don’t want to charge money, then play the game hard and use the gold coins in the game to buy it. "
The technicians in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief when they heard all kinds of complaints about krypton gold. For technicians, it is possible to attract players without charging money, and only when players fall in love with the games they design can they feel a sense of accomplishment. Making money is what black-hearted businessmen are keen to do.
Therefore, although Yang Dongxu's setting makes it more difficult for civilian players, heroes can still be purchased through hard work. It not only attracts players and increases the game market for players, but also gives civilian players a certain degree of fairness. This is definitely a stroke of genius.
"What about the old players? They have been playing for a while, and they will definitely not be willing to pay for the hero suddenly."
"Old players will be compensated with appropriate gold coins based on their level, but the number of gold coins should not be too many. Control the number of gold coins purchased at the average price of three heroes after the hero is priced.
It’s a ratio setting where you can buy one of the most expensive heroes, but you don’t have enough money to buy a second one. You can buy two of the average heroes, and you can buy three of the cheapest heroes.
As for which heroes have high prices and which heroes have low prices. Based on the statistics of the frequency of use of a hero from the background database, the hero with the highest frequency of use is naturally the player's favorite, and the price is naturally the highest, and so on for the rest. "
The conference room became quiet except for Sun Yang. Others looked at Yang Dongxu with a strange look. Qi Changwei and others looked strange while sighing in their hearts.
The strange thing is that he is already the boss of the domestic gaming industry at such a young age, while his company had to struggle in poverty-stricken counties before. Apart from anything else, this skill does not affect the operation of the game and has a way to make money, which is enough for my previous boss to learn for a long time.
Before the platform was acquired, the company’s senior management held meetings and discussions all day long. The boss's hair was almost bald from scratching, but the discussion on how to collect money and charges still didn't come to a conclusion.
Look at the big boss of Rising Sun Technology. They come up with a hero fee. The various compensation mechanisms are very complete, and they can be implemented directly after taking a lot of troublesome discussions.
"So you and Assistant Sun can quickly agree on the hero pricing issue, and then let the technicians prepare in advance. This will be released at the same time as a major update after replacing the server for major maintenance." Yang Dongxu continued.
"Okay, we will complete the task." Qi Changwei and a group of technicians straightened their backs instantly.
