Hong Kong film: Forever, a killer with amazing skills

How can you afford to buy this without spending money?

and;

Who says you can't spend money if you don't sell stats?

As you can see, the most profitable games in Ye Tianming's previous life were precisely those games where the in-game store didn't sell numerical values.

Bro, have you heard of the 1288 skin?

In real life, I have to think carefully about clothes that cost a little over a hundred yuan, but in the game, I can buy skins that cost 1288 yuan without hesitation!

Should we spend money or not in this game?

"Okay, I'll deposit two million first, that should be enough, right?"

Zhu Huimin said casually.

Two million is indeed a tiny bit of money for her.

Even if she spends all her money in the game and never gets a penny back, she won't care.

I'm just treating it as supporting my brother-in-law's career.

Chapter 478: The Future of Apocalypse Games! Pan Chengfeng is in trouble!

"Two million? That should cover the initial costs."

Ye Tianming nodded and said.

"Your game costs so much money?"

Zhu Huimin said with some surprise.

Although she didn't care about such a small amount of money as two million, spending two million on a game was barely enough to cover her early expenses.

Isn't this game way too pay-to-win?

"It mainly depends on how you want to play. My definition of the game 'Jianghu' is that everyone has their own different way of playing it," Ye Tianming explained. "People like you and me naturally use money to solve all problems, buying whatever is best. And these games can satisfy people like us. Some parts are indeed very expensive; two million can only last for one or two months at most."

"But similarly, even players who don't spend a single penny can earn money in this game through their own efforts."

"And the money they make doesn't belong to anyone else; it comes from players like you and me who spend money on games!"

"Are there that many rewards in the early stages of the game?" Zhu Huimin asked. She wasn't unfamiliar with online games; she had played the incredibly popular Legend of Mir for a while and even started her own guild.

However, due to being too busy with work, the guild was disbanded, and I haven't logged into the account since.

"Yes, some early dungeons will drop items like [Martial Arts Boxes]. Each one can contain some martial arts fragments, but the higher the level of the martial arts fragment, the lower the probability of getting it."

Ye Tianming also revealed some things in the game that were not yet publicly available, so that Zhu Huimin could understand how much money she could spend in the game if she really wanted to.

"If you want to collect enough martial arts skills to create a top-tier martial art in the early stages, even tens of millions of yuan would be far from enough. But if it's just one or two moves, then your two million yuan should be enough."

Ye Tianming said.

"Wouldn't that disrupt the balance?"

Zhu Huimin asked with some concern.

"Don't worry about that. Jianghu games are not a one-man game. There is no situation where a single whale with a 743 rating can take on an entire guild."

"Moreover, the probability of getting a fragment of a martial arts technique from a martial arts box is extremely low. Even if you are willing to spend money to try your luck, you won't be able to gather even one or two moves in a month or two."

"Don't forget, there will definitely be more than just one or two super-rich players collecting martial arts boxes. The competition among them will actually make the whole market more active."

"At that time, whales will be able to experience the joy of spending money like water, and ordinary players will also be able to earn some income through activities such as dungeons."

"For game companies, on the one hand, the popularity can be higher, and they can attract more players who spend money."

"On the other hand, the transaction tax in the game is also a considerable source of income."

Regarding balance, Ye Tianming also knew that no game could be perfect.

If you don't sell the stats, there are still power leveling and account boosting services, right?

Do you think this is balanced?

Some people are just good at it, while others are just bad at it.

no way.

What Ye Tianming could do was to maintain a certain degree of balance as much as possible.

He won't directly sell martial arts techniques or anything like that.

That would ruin the future of ordinary players!

That's cutting off your own source of income!

Although Ye Tianming never intended to make money from games, the fact that a game cuts off its own source of income means that fewer and fewer people are playing it.

How can he have fun then?

To put it simply, Ye Tianming acquired a game company and started making games.

The most fundamental reason is to satisfy one's own love of gaming.

If Ye Tianming really wanted to create a game that wouldn't have many players and a large audience, wouldn't it be better for him to develop a single-player game?

With the current game industry chain in this world, there is already enough capacity to develop the kind of AAA game that Ye Tianming played about 18 years ago in his previous life.

The image quality is definitely not bad.

The only problem is that it costs money and time.

But Ye Tianming has both money and time; these are other people's problems, not his.

The reason why game companies aren't allowed to develop such single-player games is because Ye Tianming prefers the social aspect of online games!

but;

After the official launch of the game "Jianghu", Ye Tianming also planned to expand the scale of Tianqi Games.

The company has grown significantly since the initial acquisition.

But not enough!

Ye Tianming needs to expand the scale of Apocalypse Game by at least five times from its current size.

He still has many game designs that need to be developed by them.

In addition, the Jianghu team also needs to continue to maintain and update the game, so this team cannot be moved and a new team needs to be recruited to develop a new game.

Ye Tianming had already thought about it; he would arrange a separate team for each game.

Even for single-player games, the team won't be allowed to develop other games in the early stages; their main focus will be on bug fixing and updates.

In the future, Ye Tianming's plan for Apocalypse Games is to become the world's number one game company.

Moreover, it's the kind of game company that only produces high-quality games and never trash!

To achieve this, not only does the boss need to be willing to invest a lot of money in the early development work, but he also needs to have unique game design capabilities.

Coincidentally, Ye Tianming met both of these criteria.

As for money, the hundreds of billions he has on the surface are more than enough.

Even if we launch more than a dozen game projects at the same time, it won't be a problem at all.

And what about planning ability?

Ye Tianming had played so many great games in his previous life; just a few of them were world-class game design schemes!

so;

Does Ye Tianming have high expectations for Apocalypse Games?

It's not high at all.

With such amazing advantages, it's no wonder they can't become the world's number one game company.

Then it's not Ye Tianming's problem, but whether the employees below him are slacking off!

However, given Ye Tianming's reward system for employees, it's highly unlikely that anyone will slack off.

after all;

This concerns their own vital interests.

Nobody would turn down their own interests, right?

I sat in the living room and chatted with Zhu Huimin about games for a while. After about half an hour, Cindy finally came downstairs after changing her clothes and putting on makeup.

"Brother Ye!"

Cindy, dressed beautifully, trotted over and twirled around in front of Ye Tianming with a smile.

"Do I look good in this dress?"

Ye Tianming naturally said it looked good.

It really is beautiful. After all, it's a custom-made dress that costs millions. If it weren't beautiful, it wouldn't be worth the price!

"Sis, are you sure you don't want to come with us?"

Before leaving, Cindy held her sister's hand and asked her if she wanted to come along.

After all, today's gathering was just a small get-together for some young people in their high society circle. They had actually invited Zhu Huimin, but she had never been very interested in these kinds of gatherings, so she declined.

"No, I plan to rest at home today. You guys go have fun."

Zhu Huimin shook her head and declined her sister's offer.

"Alright then, I'll be going with Brother Ye. You don't need to see us off, Sister!"

Cindy nodded and said this, then pulled Ye Tianming out the door with a smile.

Behind her, Zhu Huimin, who was standing at the door, watched the two get into the car and drive out of the yard. After thinking for a while, she decided to stay home and play games all day.

That's perfect, it's been a while since she's indulged herself.

Don't bother with work or anything like that today.

the other side;

Ye Tianming and Cindy arrived at the party venue very quickly.

This is a private mountain resort.
