I Just Want Players to Save Money, They Insist on Giving Me!-Chapter 74 - 46 A game genre so niche that even the

needed to be moved up the production schedule as soon as possible, whether or not he could unlock the ultimate mission.

Of course, the project plan in his hands,

was but a very small part of the overall plan—a detailed development plan for a single hero.

With over 200 heroes, they would have to proceed one by one, slowly.

“Huazi, I need you to allocate some people to start preparing for a new game,” he instructed.

“You have plans for a new game already?” Gou Chehua was taken aback, and then pleased.

He had allied himself with the right person!

His boss was nothing short of a genius in the industry, with one wave of inspiration after another, endlessly.

“Boss, what kind of game is this?”

“A large multiplayer online game. I expect the development to take two to three years, so let’s start preparations early. Just allocate a small group of employees; the rest of the main force still has to work on the official new game.” Ke Jin could only explain in simple terms familiar on Blue Star, since whether saying moba or like Dota, Gou Chehua wouldn’t understand.

“Is it similar to ‘Bug Tribe Legend’?” Gou Chehua asked again.

Ke Jin had heard the name ‘Bug Tribe Legend’ countless times from those around him lately.

Upon researching earlier, he learned that it was a multiplayer online game similar to “Warcraft” on Earth and also one of the top ten hottest games domestically.

However, its gameplay was not quite like “Warcraft.”

Players ran all over the map digging for treasure.

Most of the treasure chests they unearthed contained bug gachapons.

These gachapons required a fee to open, and the bugs they released would join the player’s team, following the player to randomly encounter wild monsters, fighting them to level up the bugs.

The fighting mode was turn-based.

Rather than saying it was like “Warcraft,” it was more like a combination of “Warcraft” and “Fantasy Westward Journey.”

The sourc𝗲 of this content is frёeωebɳovel.com.

The game’s gachapons were divided into five grades—’white, blue, purple, gold, orange’—with the highest grade, orange, costing 888 yuan for just one spin.

Moreover, there was only a 30% chance to randomly get a bug of white, blue, purple, or gold grade, instead of an orange one.

Even if an orange bug did appear, it might be just a fragment or a weaker bug.

This absurd pricing standard, in Ke Jin’s view, had an astonishing ability to rake in money on Blue Star, with daily revenues exceeding a hundred million yuan.

“It’s different from that one,” Ke Jin waved his hand. “It’s a combat mode game.”

“Combat? Like ‘Royal Duel’?”

That game was also in the top hundred, a fighting game which Ke Jin had played before.

But the sense of impact was terribly bad. Forget comparing it to classic IPs like “Devil May Cry” or “Monster Hunter” from his previous life, it wasn’t even on par with something like “King of Fighters.” Its popularity hinged entirely on huge marketing spends by its company every month.

“No, it’s 5v5 combat. Ten people fight on a single map. It can be considered an action game, but there isn’t much action, each character has four skills and one passive ability.” Since it was still too early to officially develop LOL, he gave just a simple description.

But this left Gou Chehua utterly stunned.

“Ten people… fighting on one map? And each person has four skills and a passive?” Gou Chehua’s eyes widened as he struggled to imagine what such a scene would look like.

“Mr. Ke, won’t it be very chaotic? ‘Royal Duel’ next door only has two skills plus normal attacks for 1v1 side-scrolling combat, and many players already complain about the difficulty, repeatedly asking designers to lower it…”

“None of that matters. Just do as I tell you to do, and once it’s made, it’ll definitely sweep the globe,” Ke Jin smiled casually, then pushed the project plan across to Gou Chehua.

“Here’s the project plan. You check it out and arrange it.”

Sweep the globe?

Us?

Gou Chehua took the project plan, puzzled.

Isn’t Mr. Ke’s pie in the sky a bit too big, and he’s not even offering us a glass of water to wash it down with…

And wasn’t this project plan a bit too thin?

The plan for “Skyline,” a game that was not particularly huge, had a hefty hundred pages.

However, the large-scale multiplayer combat game described by Mr. Ke sounded immense.

So why was the project plan only a slim dozen pages?

Yet, as soon as he flipped through the plan,

he was struck as if by lightning, and froze on the spot.

This…

This is a plan for a single character!

The document is covered in detail about this game character’s settings, modeling, skills, stats, lines, and even the requirements for the voice acting—it’s as meticulous as the last one.

Especially a few lines of character dialogue, they are written so brilliantly! Just one look and it feels like your pupils are shaking from an earthquake!

Mr. Ke isn’t joking?

He came prepared!

And what’s more outrageous to Gou Chehua is.

That at the very start of this proposal, named “League of Legends,” is a line that boldly states:

Estimated 200 heroes in the whole game.

One character, a dozen pages.

200 heroes!

Just the planning alone would take up thousands of pages?

Moreover, the proposal demands each character’s individuality and distinction to be made, to ensure that when the ‘character preview PV’ is released, it gives the players enough memorable points.

Shit!!

Right there, Gou Chehua was stunned.

This motherf…

Boss, I’ve never seen such a huge scene before!

I can’t even imagine what that would look like, how am I supposed to plan this…

Forget about me, I bet game planners around the world haven’t seen such a scene…

“Ke… Mr. Ke, what was that you said earlier when I first came in?” Gou Chehua swallowed hard.

“At the start?” Ke Jin thought for a moment, then said, “Next up, you’ll help me prepare a new game.”

Gou Chehua’s eyes widened with terror, and he pointed at his own nose, his voice nearly breaking.

“Me???”

…

They calmed Gou Chehua a bit, telling him not to feel pressured, and to work on each character one by one slowly.

Since the planning phase is longer anyway.

Once Gou Chehua stabilized his emotions, Ke Jin asked again.

“By the way, Huazi, are there any particularly cold market game genres out there right now? The kind that makes players want to abandon the game at a glance, with no patience to continue playing?”

After the failure of “Skyline,” cursing wasn’t helping Ke Jin; he had to quickly recover and start preparing for the next game.

The plan to block the top-up interface with ads had failed, so he had to find another way.

After much consideration, Ke Jin suddenly realized something.

Instead of wrangling with players over top-ups.

Why not step outside the norm and strike from a different angle?

Stand from a higher level and go for the dimensional strike on the players?

His current games were all fresh and new on the market.

Players are excited just by looking at it, so why try to hinder their desire to spend money?

That in itself is a paradox.

So, change the approach.

If the games he made fell into the very niche categories on Blue Star, or even leftover dishes that went out of style.

Even the dogs downstairs would disdain it with just a glance.

Players would want to uninstall it immediately.

Even the tycoons, with their strong desire to consume, wouldn’t pay for a game they don’t even play, right?

Yeah, this approach is the right way forward.

Damn it, got blindsided by the seduction of the ultimate quest.

Can’t believe I didn’t see such basic logic even before.

If I’d realized it earlier, I probably would have had three to five hit games by now.

“A very niche, or even abandoning-at-first-glance type of game?”

“Let me think about it.” Although puzzled by the question Mr. Ke threw out, Gou Chehua still pondered seriously.
