Chapter 383 “T-REX’s Journey”
Huang Jing: “You previously made the game “FLAPPY BIRD” so that the difficulty was very balanced throughout the game.
But most traditional games range in difficulty from easy to difficult.
After you created FLAPPY BIRD, which had a balanced difficulty level from beginning to end, I remember some game analysts said that your design was very clever.
Generally, games that progress from easy to difficult are easy at the beginning, but become more and more difficult as the game progresses. The higher the difficulty, the easier it is for the player to Game Over.
After Game Over, players have to start over.
When the game is restarted, players will have to go through the process of starting the game from simple to complex.
Although the gradual process from easy to difficult is in line with the general operating rules.
However, what gamers want to get into is the difficulty level where the game ends.
Rather than wanting to go through the increasingly difficult process again.
This process of gradual difficulty can easily be regarded by users as part of the time cost of restarting the game and viewed as a burden.
In this case, players will subconsciously think that replaying the traditional game from easy to difficult will cost a lot of time.
Players of “Flappy Bird” don’t have to worry about this at all. This game completely eliminates the process from easy to difficult. The game is always difficult from beginning to end.
It can be said that since you made the game “FLAPPY BIRD”, many game developers have made similar small games involving operations behind you, and now they have become the same difficulty level.
Now that your dinosaur mini-game adopts an easy-to-difficult operation design, those latecomers who started learning to walk in Handan will probably be dumbfounded…”
Lin Hui said: “Then there’s nothing we can do about it. Different games naturally have to adopt different strategies. Other game developers don’t stick to their own path. They follow suit and are used to copying, but they don’t know how to adapt. No one can blame them if they fall into the trap.”
Lin Hui then asked: “Do you have any insights on game operations or positioning?”
Huang Jing said: “This game feels very mature to me, but I feel like you might as well be more confident in pricing this game.”
Lin Hui: “Be more confident in pricing? Do you mean the pricing is too low? How to say it specifically??”
Huang Jing explained: “You made the character in this game look like a tyrannosaurus, right?”
Lin Hui said: “Yes, that’s right, it’s a tyrannosaurus, or if you’re not used to this name, you can also say it’s a tyrannosaurus rex.”
Lin Hui didn’t know why Huang Jing suddenly mentioned the types of characters in the mini-game he had developed previously.
Is there something wrong?
impossible.
In order to avoid some extremely fatal mistakes caused by the differences between the two time and spaces.
Lin Hui did not move with his eyes closed when recreating the game.
Before moving the ash, he still collected relevant information through various channels.
According to Lin Hui’s understanding, large theropod dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex also existed in this time and space.
Moreover, the English word Tyrannosaurus rex corresponding to the species name of the King Tyrannosaurus in this time and space is exactly the same as in the previous life.
The most important thing is that the king of this time and space, Tyrannosaurus, also became extinct during the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event.
This is also the reason why Lin Hui dared to copy the game from the previous life. After all, even if he moved the game Dinosaur Mini Game from the previous life, Lin Hui would not need to do so when the corresponding story backgrounds of the two games were almost completely unchanged. Any additional adjustments.
Why did Huang Jing suddenly mention the price of the game and the characters? Could it be that Lin Hui had overlooked something before?
Just listen to Huang Jing explain: “Because Tyrannosaurus rex plays the most important dinosaur role in the novels, movies and video games of the “Jurassic Park” and “Jurassic World” series. In addition, it also plays the most important dinosaur role in various children’s books, Among the museum exhibits, Tyrannosaurus rex is basically the classic dinosaur image that will be introduced when the concept of “dinosaur” is mentioned. In this case, Tyrannosaurus rex or Tyrannosaurus rex is actually the “modern dinosaur culture” in the beautiful country ” and one of the most representative and well-known dinosaurs in “American Dinosaur Fossils”. It can be said that turning game characters into Tyrannosaurus rex overseas brings a certain degree of IP popularity. In this kind of game character, it has its own popularity and you Since the game is so well-known, I think you can raise the price appropriately. Even if the price is raised to $3, there will still be a large number of fans paying for the game.”
After hearing this, Lin Hui nodded thoughtfully, and received Lin Hui’s approval. Huang Jing continued: “In addition, I think you can directly change the name of the game to an English abbreviation. After all, the pronunciation of ‘T-Rex’ is the same as Writing is easier to pronounce than the full name, and it is more widely circulated.”
What Huang Jing said has never occurred to Lin Hui before. As for why he didn’t think of it, it is probably because of the difference in cultural background. This small incident also reminds Lin Hui that if he wants to better develop games and go overseas in the future, he must put culture first. After all, know yourself and your enemy. Only in this way can we win every battle. If we talk about the matter, the proposal Huang Jing is giving now does make sense.
Although Lin Hui is very confident in the skills he possesses, Lin Hui can still accept reasonable opinions with an open mind.
What’s more, Huang Jing’s previous suggestions for the South Wind Pro software have already made Lin Hui a lot of money, so Lin Hui didn’t hesitate for too long this time. After a little thought, he accepted Huang Jing’s suggestions and worked with Huang Jing. After ending the call, Lin Hui made corresponding modifications to the software he had previously created. Lin Hui changed the name of the game to “T-REX’s Journey” and the price to $3. (Of course, due to various bank card discounts and the like, the actual pricing seen by overseas users should be US$2.99, plus taxes and fees.)
Even though what Huang Jing just said made sense, Lin Hui still felt that selling such a game with a slightly monotonous content for $3 was a bit empty, and he still needed to make slight adjustments based on the original game.
However, it is impossible for Lin Hui to make too many modifications to a game like “Dinosaur Mini Game” that is already quite rich in content. Since the Dinosaur Mini Game has been quite mature in its previous life, excessive modifications may destroy the game itself. connotation.
Considering his previous successful experiences with mini-games, Lin Hui finally just replaced all the prompts in the game with more literary and stylish expressions.
For example, when the original little dinosaur hits an obstacle and reaches a score, only the corresponding score will be displayed.
While the score is now displayed, it will also be displayed: “You have been traveling alone on this planet for XX years.”
Of course, for a game that corresponds to overseas, this is only the corresponding Chinese version, and the corresponding English version must be changed to something more consistent with Waiguoren’s habits.
