Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 245 Are you infected with Pokémon GO? Let’s go and find the instructor with me (page 12)

The next day, the sky was clear and the air was clear.

Taiping Road was filled with joy.

On the first day of "Pokémon GO"'s release, although various data have not yet been released, it can be seen from the fact that yesterday's scarf ranked among the top ten most searched items - a glimpse of Leopard.

After all, social media attention is also one of the factors that measure the popularity of mobile games.

Office lobby.

Staff from all major teams gathered together in twos and threes, whispering.

"The general is truly a god!"

"Yeah... just a little bit of action has reached the limit of the gaming industry!"

"The Renzhi team has made great achievements now, won't the project bonuses be packed in sacks?"

"What's the use of envy? Let's do a good job in the project at hand, and it will be no worse than other teams!"

"This makes sense. After all, General Tiangong's game plan is a golden signature in the current game industry!"

While everyone was having a heated discussion, they looked up from time to time towards the small conference room at the end of the corridor.

Just now, all the top executives were called in by Wolong Wu Xiu to hold a daily Taiping Dao meeting.

Taiping Road, small conference room.

Fei Yangyang, Zhong Chu, Wu Xiu, the five-person team trapped in the camp, all took their seats.

The faces of the five people trapped in the camp could not hide their joy. After all, being able to participate in the Taiping Dao high-level meeting not only meant that they were the project leaders, but also represented that they were the core of the Taiping Dao core.

Although the five-person group that was trapped in the camp had participated in several meetings as team leaders before, this was the first meeting they attended after officially deciding on their nickname, so their feelings were naturally different.

Old God Cai Gou sat at the top and said, "Report it!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Ping'an stood up, straightened his back, and couldn't hide the joy in his brows. He knew all the data very well. He didn't even need to look at the folder and directly reported the report:

"Pokémon GO's downloads on the first day of release: it topped the rankings of major app stores. The current cumulative downloads have exceeded 52.4 million, the number of daily active users on the first day reached million, and the average game time is minutes. …”

To judge whether a mobile game is popular or not, multiple aspects of data and information need to be considered comprehensively.

Zhu Ping An conducts comprehensive and three-dimensional reports from multiple dimensions such as download volume, number of active users, user retention rate, game duration, social media attention, income, word-of-mouth and evaluation.

After a long while, Zhu Ping'an finished his report. Cai Gou nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Taipingdao is involved in mobile games for the first time. "Pokémon GO" is a brand-new theme that combines augmented reality technology with sports gamification. It is also the first time for us to try to try something new. Please keep an eye on it with your team to avoid it." Something went wrong.”

"Hey, I know!"

Zhu Pingan was so excited that he subconsciously spoke with his hometown accent when answering.

Cai Gou didn't pay attention to Zhu Pingan's accent. After all, "Pokémon GO" was so popular. As the direct person in charge of the project, Zhu Pingan was inevitably excited. He continued:

"This weekend, the general level of players has reached level five, and they can choose to join their respective camps. At that time, the battle for gyms will be the highlight. The first national Sunday event of "Pokémon GO" must be grand and exciting. Know."

"Everyone knows it?" Zhu Ping'an looked troubled, and with the mentality of asking if you don't understand, he said: "Brother Dog, what do you mean by "Everyone knows it?" What's wrong with the previous plan? Where?"

"Well..." Cai Gou crossed his hands and put his chin on his hands, and spoke slowly:

"The gym battle alone is too monotonous and can only attract some players who like PVP. Let's create a themed event. The tentative name of the event is - Time and Space Rift."

"Pokémon that appear in limited areas will have the opportunity to appear randomly around the world through time and space rifts. Please provide the specific regulations."

It is said that the game industry is good at drawing cakes, but my dog ​​brother does not draw cakes, but directly feeds the cakes to the players' mouths. He quickly agreed and made it the focus of his work at this stage.

As the meeting continued, Fei Yangyang and the Aurora team successively reported on the project progress of the rhythm master, Rock Smith.

Cai Gou instructed at the meeting: "Although the Music Special Game Festival is only the most elementary event, it is very important to the development of the game industry in Sichuan Province. You must keep a close eye on it."

Fei Yangyang was impatient and interrupted: "Brother Dog, I heard that this event will be rescheduled this year..."

Cai Gou didn't wait for Fei Yangyang to finish what he said, and immediately raised his hand to interrupt: "It's nothing to do with the eight characters... don't make it known to everyone!"

"But..." At this point, Cai Gou said in a low voice: "You just need to know what's going on. The better our performance at the Music Special Game Festival, the more secure this will be."

We are all foxes for thousands of years. Who can't understand the sharpness in these words?

Everyone immediately understood the importance of the music-specific game festival in a certain sense.

Its importance lies not in the scale of the event, but in the fact that it concerns Cai Gou on Taiping Road.

Everyone was very attentive to their respective projects. This is Taipingdao's consistent tradition. After hearing the gossip, Zhong Chu and Fei Yangyang even patted their chests and promised that they would never make mistakes. They would strictly abide by the quality control and strive to make the project better. This is true.

At the end of the meeting, the five-person team from the trapped camp sent Li Xiang, the most eloquent person in the group, to stand up and report on the progress of the Taiping Road simulated flight project.

This game seems to be a hard-core real-life flight game, but it is obviously different from the digital combat simulation world.

Taipingdao Flight Simulator is a pilot flight simulation game, while Digital Combat Simulator World is an air combat game.

In addition, the Taiping Dao simulated flight was their first big project, so they were inevitably a little nervous. Even Li Xiang, who was the most eloquent among the five trapped in the camp, reported in front of Cai Gou at the Taiping Dao high-level meeting. bar.

However, Cai Gou didn't care and only extracted the most important information to absorb. After listening to the report, Cai Gou nodded and said:

"After all, this is your first time working on such a large project, and the current progress is already very good. This game is not rushed. Taipingdao flight simulation is the premise of the signature of the civil aviation cooperative enterprise, so you should work on it carefully."

Later, Cai Gou gave a full lecture, pointing out several shortcomings of the Taipingdao flight simulation, as well as various experiences of Yellow Turban Studio in making games so far.

The five-person group trapped in the camp, as if they had found a treasure, fell in love with Cai Gou.

End of the meeting.

Cai Gou stretched out in his seat, raised his head to Wu Xiu and said:

"The results of "Pokémon GO" on the first day are gratifying. I invite the whole company to afternoon tea. We will pick a time recently to do a wave of team building and celebrate together."

Wu Xiu quickly said yes.

Soon after the meeting, the employees in the office lobby saw the news announced on the intranet, the first-day results of "Pokémon GO", the general invited afternoon tea, and team building during the workday.

"Oh yeah!"

"General, I love you so much!"

"Get out, the general belongs to everyone!"

"General, my family belongs to Chen Qiao! Let's follow the story, shall we?"

The office hall was filled with laughter, joy and peace.

As "Pokémon GO" has been on the shelves for a long time, the number of players has shown fission growth, and its influence among the player groups has continued to expand.
