Chapter 11 New version, no way!
"Sure enough, it's still a small repair."
Zhong Ming quickly read several new features and found no eye-catching content.
In fact, he had read the design documents for all the new functions of the new version before, and tried out several new functions in 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 did not change Zhong Ming's previous view. At most, this version update would be a "small repair and small repair" and would not have much effect.
The content of the new version should be the "new mecha" that players are most looking forward to, which is a new mecha that several players can spend money to draw or buy directly.
For Liu Yuxin and Zhou Zhen, what they value most is this part, because it is directly related to the profit of the project.
If players like new mechas in particular, they can pay more money to buy them, and the profits of the project will increase, and then Liu Yuxin can use the profit data of this month to find more resources.
So Liu Yuxin put a lot of energy into the content of the new mecha, hoping to stimulate players and make them re-interest in the recharge button.
"Just this little modification, there is no chance."
Zhong Ming shook his head and exited the game.
He knew very well that the new mecha could indeed slightly improve the current situation, but his income could not necessarily increase.
There are indeed some rich people who buy new mechas, but the key is how many of them are? And don’t forget that the game "Mecha Age" is constantly going downhill, and a large number of players are lost every month. The more you go, the more obvious this loss will be.
If you obviously feel that no one is playing the game anymore, who will spend money to buy a new mecha? Who will show it to show it after you buy it?
Players lose because of the decline in the fun of the game. They feel that they have lost their goals and motivation in the game, so they give up. It is really naive to count on a few good pictures and a few good models to leave them behind.
As for what to write a background story for the mecha, it is even more nonsense and has no use at all.
Of course, Liu Yuxin may also know this, but knowing it does not mean that he has a solution. With limited resources, he can only make a few new mechas and make a living.
Soon, the airbus arrived at the station.
Zhong Ming came to the project team and found that the project team was empty. After ten minutes, two arts came late, and there was no one in the program team and the design team.
Obviously, I worked overtime too late yesterday and couldn't get up today.
Zhong Ming didn't care either, and he didn't need to cooperate with these people anyway.
No one happened to come, so Zhong Ming took out his hand-painted board from his bag and started drawing.
Regarding the new version planning, Zhong Ming actually had a rough idea in his mind, but he was not in a hurry to implement these contents.
Now Zhong Ming is drawing an original scene, but he is still in the line draft stage and cannot see much content.
"Huh? Are you new to the design team? You can draw?" a voice said.
Zhong Ming looked up and found a short round-faced girl holding a water cup in her hands, looking at her in surprise.
The girl is not as good as 1.6 meters, but because of her small face and good body proportions, she does not look short. Instead, she also feels like she is dependent on others.
This girl, Zhong Ming, is a modeler in the art group. The two of them looked down and didn't look up, but they just didn't say anything.
Seeing the girl like this, she probably found Zhong Ming painting when she went to pick up the water. She was very curious, so she came over and said hello.
Zhong Ming nodded: "My name is Zhong Ming, a new intern in 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 skillful and professional?"
Zhong Ming nodded: "I graduated from Ming'an University's art major."
"Hey? I'm also a major in art at Ming'an University! Did you recruit from the school this year? Then I'm your senior sister!" Jiang Wanna was even more surprised.
Zhong Ming smiled: "Hello, senior sister."
Jiang Wanna was a little puzzled: "Since you are a professional art student, why didn't you become an original artist?"
"This, I'm more interested in design." Zhong Ming said.
Jiang Wanna felt a little regretful: "It's a pity. I see that you have such a good technique. Being an original artist must be very good. But since you like design, there's nothing you can do. In short, if you have any problems in the future, you can come to me. We should deal with it frequently in the future."
Zhong Ming nodded: "Okay."
Although overall modelers have a lower status in the art group than original artists, modelers like Jiang Wanna are definitely not simple.
The original painter is responsible for painting and drawing the concept draft given by the design team, which is equivalent to artistic creation; while the modeler turns the original painting into a model, as long as he faithfully reproduces the content of the original painting.
So relatively speaking, the original artist needs higher artistic literacy, but things are not absolute. For example, some contestants who can draw and make models are very powerful, and they are treasures in the art group.
Since Jiang Wanna is a major in art at Ming'an University, she must have a high professional quality in original painting.
After drawing for more than two hours, Zhong Ming saw Xiong Kai coming, put the hand-painted board and put it back in his bag, so as not to be missed when he saw it.
Xiong Kai didn't seem to have enough sleep, and his eyes were black. He probably worked overtime until three or four in the morning yesterday, and came again at eleven in the morning. He only slept for five or six hours in total.
Xiong Kai didn't even look at Zhong Ming, but turned on his computer and looked at the new version of the data nervously.
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' recharge, consumption records, activity, etc. Although the server has just been launched, some clues can be seen from the players' reactions.
Simply put, if the new mecha is not sold much on the first day of its launch, there will definitely not be many people buying it the next day.
Xiong Kai looked at the data, and the more he looked, the more he felt colder. After staring at the data for more than half an hour, he simply closed the page.
This data is annoying!
However, before Xiong Kai was desperate, he could comfort himself that the players had not got up, the players were at work, and the players did not have time to play the game until noon...
Not long after, Zhou Zhen also arrived.
The first thing Zhou Zhen did after turning on the computer was to flip the data. After flipping, he looked like Xiong Kai, and his face looked ugly.
At noon, everyone else arrived one after another.
The atmosphere between the program and art groups is relatively good, because for them, they have just completed a new version and can relax a little mentally.
But the atmosphere on the design team is not very good, because you can guess the expressions of Zhou Zhen and Xiong Kai, and the data after the new version is launched is not good!
Chapter completed!
