85: The technology in this world is so advanced.
Just as he was about to open the 3D projection to demonstrate the new game, Yu Waner rushed in, panting and smiling apologetically, “Sorry, I ran into traffic again.”
Xu Lian shook his head and waved her to sit down.
After a brief introduction of the two new colleagues, Xu Lian then started the equipment.
The ultra-clear 16K resolution 3D projector began to operate, displaying the image in a 360-degree panoramic mode, making it clearly visible to everyone in the conference room.
It must be said that the technology in this world is truly advanced.
The first time Xu Lian used this instrument, he was a bit flustered, like a country bumpkin entering the city.
Under everyone's gaze, a blue light shot out from the projector, gradually condensing into four three-dimensional characters—[minecraft].
This was the promotional animation that Lin Weixin helped create a few days ago.
To showcase the game's appeal, the animation was divided into two versions with completely different styles.
One used top-tier 16K ultra-clear quality, combined with the most advanced rendering technology, offering an extremely strong sense of immersion, even making the items inside look identical to those in reality; the other was a low-resolution pixel style, which at first glance looked like it was pieced together from mosaics, similar to Dungeon & Fighter.
Although the low-resolution version was not as refined as the high-definition version, it offered a unique kind of fun.
Ten minutes later, the promotional animation finished playing, and everyone present was deeply shocked.
Especially Chen Li and Liu Kan, who had just joined the team, their eyes were wide with expressions of disbelief.
The two were previously professional Designers who had moved from a large domestic game company and were doing well at Yunteng Games.
According to their understanding, their own skill level should not be too far off from their boss, Xu Lian, but now they were completely proven wrong!
The game's content allowed players to build boats for fishing, explore forests, delve into caves to mine gold and Diamond, and even construct houses to avoid monster attacks… These interesting real-life activities were recreated by Xu Lian in a virtual world, creating a realistic sense that made one eager to participate.
Compared to their previous design concepts, minecraft was clearly a work on another level.
“It was truly wise to choose to join Aoyou Company!” Chen Li and Liu Kan secretly congratulated themselves, “The future achievements of this company will definitely far surpass other competitors!”
“Boss, when do we start working?” Yu Waner was too excited to sit still, asking eagerly, “I want to enter that magical world made entirely of blocks right now!”
Xu Lian smiled and replied, “I plan to complete the development within a month, and then this sandbox game will be entirely your responsibility, no problem, right?”
“No problem, absolutely no problem!” The two nodded repeatedly, eager to start working immediately.
“Weixin, take some time later to organize the promotional video and release it at an appropriate time, so everyone can pre-order and follow it on social platforms,” Xu Lian continued to assign tasks.
“Don't worry, leave it to me!” Lin Weixin confidently responded.
At this point, Qin Feixu suddenly asked, “President Xu, how will this game generate profit? Is it a one-time purchase or does it support in-app purchases?”
As the person in charge of game revenue management, her primary concern was how to maximize income.
“Only a one-time purchase,” Xu Lian answered without hesitation, “The design of this game is not suitable for introducing in-app purchase features.
Since it's a sandbox casual puzzle game, the main fun comes from collecting materials and free creation; adding an additional TOLL mechanism would actually disrupt the overall experience.”
In fact, he also knew that in his original world, a certain agency company commercialized minecraft by adding a paid item system.
However, that approach not only failed to bring significant benefits but also damaged the original intention of the work.
Therefore, Xu Lian decided to maintain the buy-out system, allowing users to pay a one-time fee for permanent account usage.
“Then what will be the specific price of this game?” Qin Feixu immediately followed up.
Xu Lian pondered for a moment, “I personally suggest pricing it at 200 yuan, valid for life. How does that sound?”
Hearing this, everyone in the conference room lowered their heads to think.
“200… Isn't that a bit low?” Qin Feixu was the first to voice her opinion.
“The gameplay and settings of this game are very unique, and our company's registered users have already exceeded 500 million.
We could consider setting the price a bit higher.”
“Anyway, the game itself is free for life, as long as the external promotion is in place, players should still buy it.”
“I suggest letting players try it for 24 hours, and once they experience the fun of the game, we can then set the price at 500 yuan.
President Xu, what do you all think?”
“You mean, free trial first, then charge?”
Xu Lian asked tentatively.
“Exactly, can't this game freely build anything?”
“As long as players, during the free trial period, build their own structures in the game and experience the joy of nurturing them.”
“At that time, we will heavily promote other players' gameplay, letting those who haven't purchased yet see just how fun this game is.”
“By then, players who haven't purchased will also choose to pay to protect what they have painstakingly built in the game.”
“I think Sister Yun's method is quite reliable.”
Lin Weixin nodded seriously.
The other three also expressed great admiration for Qin Feixu's operational strategy and agreed.
“Hmm, I also think this plan is good, let's go with what you said.”
Xu Lian also nodded in agreement with Qin Feixu's plan.
It must be said that Qin Feixu's marketing tactics truly had some skill.
Fortunately, Xu Lian was the boss now, not a player; otherwise, if he were in a player's shoes, he would probably be cursing loudly by now.
This kind of tantalizing marketing approach was simply too ruthless.
If Qin Feixu were placed in Xu Lian's world to be a game planner, players would probably be crying foul every day.
And so, the meeting ended.
Everyone began to busy themselves with their respective tasks.
