Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 12: Change your thinking

Views:

Ma Yang packed up and went out. He went to a nearby bookstore to buy a professional book on game design.

Pei Qian doesn't know if he can buy it, but with so many big bookstores, you can always find it, right

In fact, at this time, some shopping platforms have appeared on the Internet, including websites dedicated to selling books.

However, many people have not turned this corner, and even some relatively dull students have not opened online banking.

For example, Ma Yang is a more traditional kind of student. When he thinks of buying a book, his first choice is to go to the bookstore. After reading some of the content, he decides whether to buy it or not.

Of course, this situation will change dramatically in the next few years.

Pei Qian went back to his bed, opened his laptop, and thought about the next thing.

In the afternoon, Ma Yang came back.

Holding seven or eight books, there is also a large tome, about two fingers thick, 16 format, the book is called "Summary of Advanced Programming".

In addition to this, there are a bunch of other books.

For example: "Survival Guide Outside of Code", "Program Development and Management Collection", "Code Encyclopedia", "Design Patterns" and "Cervical Spondylosis Rehabilitation Guide".

Ma Yang felt that he had gained a lot.

Pei Qian flipped through the books that Ma Yang brought back, and finally settled on the "Cervical Spondylosis Rehabilitation Guide".

You are so prepared!

Have you even considered the possibility of cervical spondylosis in the future

But the biggest problem that programmers face is not cervical spondylosis, but death from overwork!

Also, you are not a programmer!

Before, Pei Qian saw that Ma Yang was so attentive and diligent about this matter, he almost thought he had chosen the wrong person.

As a result, Pei Qian was sure of the books Ma Yang had selected.

Ma Yang is his best partner, he didn't run away!

Look, this guy ran all the way out to the bookstore and came back with so many books.

Say it's useless, and you can't say it's useless at all, anyway.

Say it's useful, it's useful!

Typical white hustle.

Pei Qian patted Ma Yang's shoulder: "Ma Yang, we are doing design, not programming."

"Besides, do you know that editors are used to make games now?"

"Furthermore, with the explosive development of technology now, the speed of innovation is too fast. The technologies in these books are already half-obsolete, and they are really unusable."

Ma Yang's face turned pale: "I said why the bookstore is offering discounts! It turns out that it can't be sold!"

"I searched the bookstore for a long time, but I couldn't find any books about design games, so I found these. When I saw the discount, I picked a few and bought them."

"What should I do? The discounted books will not be refunded!"

Ma Yang was a little flustered.

Pei Qian was completely relieved, and said with a smile, "It's fine, it's fine if you have the heart. If you think you can't buy these books for nothing, just take a look at them, it's still a little helpful."

Ma Yang was a little relieved when he heard this: "Then do you want to watch it? We can take turns watching."

Pei Qian's face darkened, and he quickly waved his hand: "No, no."

Whoever wants to read these books will feel too embarrassed to put on a pillow!

Ma Yang lay on the bed and opened the thickest book "Summary of Advanced Programming".

After only five minutes of watching, a snoring sound came from his bed.

Pei Qian was very satisfied.

Well, reliable!

Look at this attitude, 100 points!

Look at this ability again, 0 points!

Isn't this the designer you are looking for

It's a pity that Pei Qian only knows one talent like Ma Yang.

If there are more, then Pei Qian can't go to heaven? Lose 300,000, simple!

Pei Qian opened the official editor of ERSO, and with some melancholy ignored "Lonely Desert Highway" which has added thousands of downloads today, and began to study the next plan.

As an independent game, the popularity often comes and goes quickly.

What's more, the game "Lonely Desert Highway" has no technical content and no sustainable gameplay.

In fact, Pei Qian had a similar example in his previous life. Games with poor quality, rough art resources, and boring and simple gameplay became popular due to some special reasons.

However, such examples are actually very few. Among hundreds of similar games, only one or two may appear.

Pei Qian never imagined that this kind of thing could be hit by himself!

In the next period of time, the popularity of "Lonely Desert Highway" will inevitably drop rapidly, and the download volume and income will naturally plummet, which is a normal phenomenon.

However, whether it plummeted or not, this game has already made real money, which is the most uncomfortable for Pei Qian.

After thinking about the pain, Pei Qian decided to change his mind.

This time, I can't do independent games anymore, I have to change it!

Because in the short term, Tenda Network Technology Co., Ltd. has been tied to the game "Lonely Desert Road" in the minds of players.

Pei Qian faced a dilemma:

If you make a foolish game, you might have to replicate the success of "The Lonely Desert Highway". Even if the popularity is not so high, it will be a devastating blow to Pei Qian;

But if you don't make a shitty game, make a normal independent game... Maybe players will buy it because they think the quality of this game is acceptable.

This is very uncomfortable!

What's more, 300,000 is used to make independent games, which is a bit hard to spend.

How expensive templates and art resources do you have to buy to spend 300,000 yuan? !

Moreover, after buying these expensive art resources, the game is so beautiful, maybe it can attract a large number of appearance party players to enter the pit, or it is not a loss!

Therefore, after thinking about it, Pei Qian decided to temporarily abandon these players who are keen on independent games and change their field.

300,000, making large-scale games, is beyond the reach.

Although Pei Qian's goal is to lose money, but still, the finished product of the game must at least be produced.

If the game fails to pass the review, and the 300,000 system funds are spent without results, the system will determine that this is a violation.

Therefore, the money has to be spent, and the game has to be made.

Pei Qian rummaged through the official platform and finally determined his goal.

mobile game!

This is also a last resort. On the one hand, the money in hand is not enough to make large-scale games; on the other hand, independent games are not suitable for a short period of time.

Mobile game players and indie gamers are not the same group.

Indie gamers might see this new game because they know the company Tenda, but mobile gamers won't.

As long as the mobile game he makes is rubbish enough, Pei Qian is sure that no one cares about this game!

After the direction is determined, it is market research.

Pei Qian entered the official game platform, flipped through all the popular mobile games, and downloaded several popular mobile games to experience it.

Pei Qian had noticed before that in the field of mobile phones, the technology of the parallel world seems to be much faster than the previous life.
