Restart the Gaming Era

"Sure enough, it's still a minor repair."

Zhong Ming quickly looked through several new functions, but found nothing eye-catching.

In fact, he had already read the design documents of all the new features of the new version before, and also tried a few half-completed new features on the internal test server. However, there is still a difference between the beta version and the official version, so Zhong Ming played it again.

This didn't change Zhong Ming's previous opinion. The version update this time was at best a "minor fix" and wouldn't have much effect.

For the content of the new version, what players are most looking forward to is probably only the "new mecha", that is, there are several new mechas that players can spend money to draw or buy directly.

For Liu Yuxin and Zhou Zhen, what they value most is also the content of this piece, because it is directly related to the profitability of the project.

If the players really like the new mecha, they will pay more to buy it, and the profit of the project will increase. Then Liu Yuxin can use this month's profit data to find more resources from above.

So Liu Yuxin put a lot of energy into the content of the new mecha, hoping to stimulate the players and make them interested in the recharge button again.

"It's just this modification, it's useless."

Zhong Ming shook his head and quit the game.

He is very clear that the new mecha can indeed improve the current situation a little, but the income may not necessarily increase.

It is true that some wealthy people will buy new mechas, but the key is how much is this amount? And don't forget, the game "Mech Age" is constantly going downhill, losing a large number of players every month, and this loss will become more obvious in the future.

Who would spend money on a new mech if it clearly felt like no one was playing the game anymore? After buying it, who will I show it to?

Players churn because their enjoyment of the game declines, they feel that they have lost their purpose and motivation in the game, so they give up. It is naive to count on a few good-looking pictures and a few good-looking models to keep them.

As for writing a background story for the mecha, it's even more nonsense, it's completely useless.

Of course, Liu Yuxin may also know this, but knowing it doesn't mean he has a solution. With limited resources, he could only make a few new mechas, and he was like a living doctor.

Soon, the Airbus arrived.

When Zhong Ming came to the project team, he found that the project team was empty. After ten minutes, there were two artists who were late, and there was no one in the program team and design team.

Obviously it was too late to work overtime yesterday, so I couldn't get up today.

Zhong Ming didn't care, anyway, he didn't need to cooperate with these people in his work.

When no one came, Zhong Ming took out his hand-painted board from his bag and started to draw.

Regarding the planning of the new version, Zhong Ming already has a rough idea in his mind, but he is not in a hurry to implement these contents.

Now what Zhong Ming is drawing is an original painting of the scene, but it is still in the line draft stage, and there is not much content to be seen.

"Huh? Are you new to the design team? Can you draw?" a voice said.

Zhong Ming looked up, and found a short, round-faced girl with a water glass in her hand, looking at him in surprise.

The girl is not quite 1.6 meters tall, but because of her small face and well-proportioned body, she doesn't look short, on the contrary, she also has a feeling of being a little bird.

This girl Zhong Ming knew. She was a modeler in the art group.

Seeing the girl like this, it should be that when she went to pick up the water, she found Zhong Ming painting. She was very curious, so she came over to say hello.

Zhong Ming nodded: "My name is Zhong Ming, a new intern from the design team."

"Hello, my name is Jiang Wanna, the modeler of the art group." Jiang Wanna looked at Zhong Ming's skillful technique and was surprised, "You are so skilled, professional?"

Zhong Ming nodded: "Graduated from Ming'an University majoring in fine arts."

"Hey? I'm also an art major at Ming'an University! You were recruited this year? Then I'm your senior!" Jiang Wanna was even more surprised.

Zhong Ming smiled: "Hello, Senior Sister."

Jiang Wanna was a little puzzled: "Since you are an art major, why didn't you become an original artist?"

"Well, I'm more interested in design." Zhong Ming said.

Jiang Wanna felt a little regretful: "It's a pity. I think you have such a good technique. You must be very good as an original artist. But since you like design, there is nothing you can do. In short, you can come to me if you have any problems in the future. We should meet frequently in the future. dealing."

Zhong Ming nodded: "OK."

Although the overall status of modelers in the art team is lower than that of original painters, it is definitely not easy for a modeler like Jiang Wanna.

The original artist is in charge of drawing, drawing the concept draft given by the design team, which is equivalent to artistic creation; while the modeler is turning the original painting into a model, as long as the content of the original painting is faithfully reproduced.

So relatively speaking, original painters need a higher artistic quality, but there are no absolutes. For example, some contestants who can both draw and make models are very powerful, and they belong to the treasures of the art group.

Since Jiang Wanna is an art major at Ming'an University, she must have a high professional quality in original painting.

After painting for more than two hours, Zhong Ming saw Xiong Kai coming, put away the drawing board and put it back in his bag, so as not to be missed if he saw it.

Xiong Kai didn't seem to get enough sleep, both eye circles were dark. I guess I worked overtime until three or four o'clock in the morning yesterday, and it came again at eleven o'clock this morning, and I only slept for five or six hours in total.

Xiong Kai didn't even look at Zhong Ming, but turned on his computer and nervously checked the new version of the data.

The version update has been completed, and the server has been opened. It is time for players to go online to receive the new version update package.

As a world architect, Xiong Kai has relevant authority, and can see players' recharges, consumption records, activity levels, etc. Although the server has just opened for a short time, he can also see some clues from the players' reactions.

To put it simply, if a new mech doesn't sell many on the first day it's launched, there won't be many people buying it the next day.

Xiong Kai looked at the data, and the more he looked at it, the more chilled he became. After staring at the data for more than half an hour, he simply closed the page.

This data is annoying!

But Xiong Kai has not yet reached the point of despair, he can still comfort himself by saying that the players did not get up, the players are at work, and the players only have time to play games at noon...

Not long after, Zhou Zhen also arrived.

The first thing Zhou Zhen did after turning on the computer was to look through the data, and after the lookup, he also had the same ugly face as Xiong Kai.

At noon, other people also arrived one after another.

The atmosphere of the program group and the art group is relatively good, because for them, they have just completed a new version, so they can relax a little bit mentally.

But the atmosphere in the design team is not so good, because everyone can guess from the expressions of Zhou Zhen and Xiong Kai, the data after the new version is launched is not good!

And it's not just a general failure, it's a special failure!
