Chapter 156 Happy and joyful
Xu Jiale's game plan is very simple. At the beginning of the plan, Xu Jiale made it clear that the inspiration for his game came from Zuma.
The protagonist of Zuma is a stone frog.
The stone frog will spit out beads of various colors, and there are beads of various colors sliding forward along the track beside the stone frog. The purpose of the game is to prevent the beads from rolling into the cave at the end of the track.
The stone frog will spit out beads of different colors, which are connected to a string of beads running along a trajectory. Once three or more beads of the same color are connected together, these beads will disappear.
The same is true for Xu Jiale's game. He extracted the gameplay of connecting three or more beads of the same color together in Zuma, deepened it, and developed a new mobile game.
The objects to be eliminated in the game become small squares of various colors. Players can eliminate three squares of the same color by moving the position of the squares. Eliminating three or more squares of the same color can also get special prop rewards.
Luo Fan was very familiar with Xu Jiale's idea. Isn't this just a fun way to have fun!
Luo Fan and Li Jingyi both played this game in their previous lives.
Most of the time, Luo Fan couldn't play mobile games for more than a few days, but Happy Xiaoxiao Le was always on his phone. He played it when he had nothing to do, and he played it to level 7,800 before he knew it.
And Li Jingyi has a deep love for this game. Does she understand the value of more than 1,500 levels in Happy Match!
Luo Fan remembered that the previous life of Happy Xiaoxiao Le was released in 2014. Not long after its release, hard-core advertisements began to be placed in various TV series and movies. The main thing was that it could be played anytime and anywhere.
Then Xiaoxiaole became popular.
If Penguin Pesticide and Chicken Eater are the most profitable mobile games, then Happy Xiaoxiaole is the mobile game with the most players, and there are more than twice as many female players as male players.
According to incomplete statistics, as of August 2019, the installed base of Kaixin Xiaole has exceeded 800 million, which is comparable to wx. The official itself even claims that Kaixin Xiaole is an addictive game for 800 million people.
Of course, this data is definitely an exaggeration. The number of installed machines is not equal to the number of players, but Luo Fan thinks that the actual number of players of Happy Game should be around 300 to 400 million.
After all, in his previous life, he would often encounter people playing while taking the subway to work. The number of people was too small and the pair would not encounter each other so frequently.
At least Luo Fan didn't encounter anyone playing with pesticides or eating chicken on the subway.
In terms of money-making ability, Happy Xiaoxiaole may not be as good as those top mobile games, but in terms of the number of players, Xiaoxiaole really crushes them.
Thinking of this, Luo Fan said to Xu Jiale: "Mr. Xu, your idea is very good. I think it has great development potential. However, I feel that your idea is too monotonous compared to using only squares of various colors.
We can replace the blocks with cuter things, such as the heads of various small animals."
"Animal portrait?"
"Yes! Like little bears, frogs, foxes, birds, etc., use them to replace the blocks of various colors. The rules remain the same. Players must clear the level and move the animal avatar positions to get 3 or more.
You can eliminate them. If you eliminate more than 3 animal portraits, you will get additional rewards.
In addition, I think this game should also have its own consumption channels like Defend the Carrot, for example, it should have a stamina setting like some online games.
For example, if the upper limit of physical strength is set at 30 points in the game, each time you pass a level, you need to consume 5 physical points. When the physical strength is less than 5 points, the player cannot enter the level.
After passing each level, the player can get a certain number of stars. If the player gets 3 stars, 5 points of physical strength will be returned. If the player gets 2 stars, 2 points of physical strength will be returned. If the player gets 1 star, no physical strength will be returned.
Physical strength can be donated to each other through social interaction between players, but there is a daily limit and it can be restored automatically. Players must spend money to purchase physical strength if they want to continue playing.
We can also add some props to help you pass the game. Just like Defending the Carrot, you can pass the game without purchasing these props, but it will be easier if you purchase them."
After listening to Luo Fan's words, Xu Jiale felt as if he had opened the door to a new world. The previously unclear areas suddenly became clear.
"Boss, I know what to do. I'll go back and refine the plan and show it to you in two days."
"Don't rush and take your time! I feel that this game has great potential, maybe it can surpass Temple Escape!"
After hearing Luo Fan's encouragement, Xu Jiale excitedly left Luo Fan's office with the plan in hand.
After Xu Jiale left, Luo Fan glanced at the time on his computer and saw that it was already 7:30 pm.
"It's almost time to get off work!" Luo Fan stretched and said.
Then Luo Fan turned off the computer, stood up and left the office.
Luo Fan came to the underground parking lot and happened to meet Ying Qianlong.
Ying Qianlong can be regarded as the veteran of the company. One year after the company was established, Ying Qianlong's salary has also increased with the tide. Now his annual salary is ten W. In addition, he helped the company handle some disputes and helped the Daily Toutiao sign a contract.
I had many advertising contracts and received a lot of bonuses.
The house he lives in is arranged by the company. He pays half of the rent and the company pays the other half.
So Ying Qianlong saved a lot of money and bought a car.
The car Ying Qianlong bought was a domineering one, and Luo Fan estimated that he paid a down payment and then took out a mortgage.
Luo Fan personally doesn't understand Ying Qianlong's choice to buy a car at a high price first, because he thinks buying a house should be more important than buying a car, and cars are consumables and become less valuable the longer they are driven.
In a sense, a house is an investment product, and it is an investment product with huge room for appreciation. This is especially true for houses in Shanghai. The longer you live in it, the more valuable it becomes.
Of course, this is their own way of life, and Luo Fan will not interfere. After all, they are just working for you. Besides going to work, they still have their own lives.
"Mr. Luo, are you going home like this?" Ying Qianlong greeted Luo Fan.
"Um!"
"There is someone in our company having a birthday tonight, why don't you come over and join in the fun?"
"Whose birthday is it?" Luo Fan asked.
"Xiao Zhu from the Logistics Department."
Luo Fan thought for a moment and couldn't remember who this person was, but he still said with a smile: "I'm not going, you can play! If I go, everyone will feel uncomfortable. Help me say happy birthday to Xiao Zhu."
"Okay! Mr. Luo, I'll leave first! You go slower on the road."
"Well, please pay attention to your safety." After speaking, Luo Fan opened the door and got into the car.
Ying Qianlong started the car and left.
Chapter completed!
