I Just Want Players to Save Money, They Insist on Giving Me! Chapter 75 - 75 47 The game that only sold for 1800 in

Chapter 75: Chapter 47: The ga that only sold for 1800 in revenue!_1 Chapter 75: Chapter 47: The ga that only sold for 1800 in revenue!_1 Ke Jin inquired about niche gas mainly because of a new feature unlocked after yesterday’s system upgrade.

After elevating the system to LV6, the interface underwent significant changes.

The Krypton spending limit was optimized by the system and integrated into the [Task] panel.

Different task difficulties ca with fluctuating Krypton spending limits.

The advantage of this is that newly released gas wouldn’t be bound by the system’s maximum limit.

Otherwise, if a ga proven to be a massive hit were to co out, which by all accounts should generate hundreds of millions in turnover, but the spending limit was capped at only 2 million.

Players could blindly max themselves out, thereby resulting in task failure.

Besides that, another new feature called [Term Selection] was unlocked.

Ke Jin glanced over the description of the new feature.

It basically ant that when opening a ga blind box in the future, players could pre-enter a keyword.

After entering it, the ga that cos out would inevitably be related to the keyword.

For example.

If you enter FPS, then the ga that cos out will at least be related to shooting.

But whether it’s a high-octane shooting ga or a painfully difficult shooting ga, that remains unknown.

Currently, you can only enter one keyword. The higher the system level, the more keywords you can enter.

And the more accurate the ga category lock-ins will be.

This is a significant optimization, ensuring the gas that co out are as much under your control as possible.

“The system is actually always optimizing the best route for , trying its best to help complete the ultimate task… It really…” Facing such a ticulous system, worried that he might not complete the task, Ke Jin felt touched.

It’s so much better than those ‘death countdown if you fail the task’ systems.

If it weren’t for the fact that the system couldn’t manifest itself, he’d definitely have to drink a couple with it.

Damn, big bro! Drink up!

Backed by the system, Ke Jin felt a surge of confidence!

So what if he had failed four or five tis?

Pick up, I can still play!!

…

“If I really have to say, there doesn’t seem to be any absolutely niche genre.” Facing his boss’s peculiar question, after pondering for a mont, Gou Chehua still seriously answered.

The number of ga genres on Blue Star isn’t extensive, which is practically an open secret—not even a secret, but a known fact among gars.

Otherwise, players wouldn’t have repeatedly complained about the lack of originality in gas in recent years.

Also, because there aren’t that many ga types, players would still give niche gas a try.

Therefore, there are no truly niche gas, only relatively niche ones.

The most mainstream categories currently are turn-based gas.

Next cos puzzle gas like matching tiles and pushing boxes, which include so light puzzle-solving elents.

Of course, this doesn’t an that the hot gas are just plain matching tile or box-pushing gas.

So incorporate matching tile elents into combat, while others turn box-pushing into exhilarating gaplay.

Then, coupled with chanics like drawing cards, character portraits, character designing, marketing, etc., it all forms a complete popular ga.

Nevertheless, the core still revolves around these light puzzle-solving gaplay chanics, and so within the industry, they’re habitually referred to as ‘match-three’ or ‘puzzle’ gas.

Further down, there are the niche hard-core gas, especially hostile to non-tycoon players, like FPS gas.

But if you say these are extrely niche.

Gou Chehua doesn’t think that’s quite right.

The rest are action and horror gas.

The player base of these two combined might not even account for less than 5% of all players.

There’s no need to say much about horror gas.

With the already high pressure of life on Blue Star, who would purposely seek out ghosts or demons to tornt themselves?

Not even worth a glance!

And for action gas, according to Gou Chehua’s understanding.

Over thirty years ago, there was a trend that action gas were about to take off, with so light action gas being quite popular on the consoles of that era.

As the top global gaming company, Blue Ocean Paradise made a fortune in the console market at that ti, and when shifting to PC and ho consoles, they were ready to promote this genre with all their might.

But for so reason, this branch was cut off later on.

By the ti Gou Chehua ca of age, he was already seeing gas dominated by ‘turn-based’ card-drawing gas.

“If I have to be specific, it might be the action and horror genres… Wait! Sssshh!!” Suddenly, sothing occurred to Gou Chehua, and he slapped his hands excitedly: “Mr. Ke! I’ve got it!”

“Speak,” Ke Jin urged, now paying full attention.

“Story-driven gas! The player base for these gas doesn’t even reach one in ten thousand! They’re so niche that I almost forgot about this category myself, how’s that for niche?”

“Story-driven?” The first thought that ca to Ke Jin’s mind was.

GAL?

Girl And Love Ga.

Because they mostly consist of extensive text and illustration CGs, they’re also called romance visual novels on Earth.

However, designers later discovered that by adding suggestive elents into these gas, they could maximize player indulgence.

Imagine, as a player stepping into the shoes of the ga’s protagonist, you encounter a cute and gentle heroine; slowly, through twists and turns, sparks of love ignite between you, culminating in a kiss under a sky full of fireworks as the ga concludes.

This is indeed thrilling, but it leaves one longing for more.

But if there were content afterward,

you could even engage in all kinds of positions and angles with this beloved female protagonist you are crazy about.

The impact on players would not be sothing you could compare to so live chicken strear’s dance during their broadcast.

Therefore, the designers who dug into the core exhilaration of such gas started to stray further and further towards the seductive on the road to making subsequent GAL gas.

However, what worried Ke Jin was,

Are these kinds of gas really unpopular on Blue Star?

Considering the player community’s tolerance for lewd content on Blue Star right now,

it’s like ‘drugs doom the whole family, gambling leads to family ruin, pornography, send so.’

But soon, with Gou Chehua’s explanation, Ke Jin realized he had misunderstood.

The plot-based gas Gou Chehua referred to are those without any special gaplay, mostly various plot-driven content, with backgrounds that can be set in any world; cultivation, fantasy, urban, future technology, and so on, with no restrictions on the.

So gas even lack interaction, where characters can only wander around the map collecting fragnted stories.

Players can’t get any thrill of leveling up, nor the pleasant sensation of mowing down enemies, and may even struggle to find the purpose of playing.

They want to spend money but feel lost with sword in hand, unsure what would trigger their desire to spend.

Moreover, with everyone living at such a fast pace these days, when watching a movie, they’re almost desperate to hold down the fast-forward button and give the male lead a fatal rhythm buff.

If you drop a plot-driven ga that lasts several hours on them, without the ability to fast forward or rewind like an ani or movie, players would naturally find it hard to accept.

As a result, Blue Star players have always been lukewarm about this category of gas.

And precisely because of this lack of interest, developnt of this genre has stagnated for over a decade.

Without the injection of new blood, these gas have beco even harder to highlight, and the plots are scattered and sparse.

This vicious cycle has led it to beco Blue Star’s most unpopular ga genre.

Forget the players.

Even dogs would shake their heads and claim they can’t play it a bit.

“Mr. Ke, this type of ga, no matter how you look at it, players won’t be willing to pay for it. We should avo…” Gou Chehua hadn’t even completed the word ‘avoid’.

He suddenly saw Mr. Ke’s eyes brighten, as if excited, he stood up, slamming his hand on the table, and declared with finality.

“Great! Our next ga will be plot-driven!”

“Huh?” Gou Chehua was stunned.

Isn’t…

Mr. Ke, have you hit your rebellious phase…

How could this type of ga make any money at all!

“Mr. Ke, I don’t an to question your talent… but if countless Blue Star designers can’t make it work, it’s really the wrong genre, players just aren’t interested, it has nothing to do with design… The last plot-driven ga I rember only sold for a total of 1800 dollars…”

Gou Chehua spoke earnestly, almost ready to pull up the sales total for ‘plot-driven gas’ from over the years to convince Ke Jin.

But Ke Jin’s eyes got brighter and more stubborn.

“We’re doing this one!”

Perhaps feeling that his behaviour might seem odd to others,

he paused, and then Ke Jin added, “I nad the company ‘Number One Player’ because that’s what it ans. We are not only designers, but we are also the first players to co into contact with the new gas we design. We should show more courage to actively tackle difficulties and bravely climb mountains, because the mountain, is right there!”

Gou Chehua was filled with fervor, clapping vigorously.

Then, coming to his senses, he realized sothing was amiss.

He was supposed to be persuading Mr. Ke, so why was he clapping…

But his chance to make a move was gone.

Ke Jin had made a final decision, effectively ending the match.

“You just arrange the staff, I’ll co up with the plan!”

“In one week, I’ll give you a complete proposal.”

In reality, all Ke Jin needed to do was fish out ideas from the system.

The reason he said one week,

was because it would be too strange if he produced a detailed explosion of a plan overnight.

Better to be safe, and it would also give the employees, who had worked nonstop on the previous ga, so rest.

…

After Gou Chehua had left, Ke Jin sat in his executive chair, gently swaying, hands behind his head, looking up at the ceiling.

Although he held back for a long ti, he couldn’t help but let out a sneaky laugh.

‘One in ten thousand player community,’ ‘The last plot-driven ga only sold for 1800 dollars,’ ‘Even dogs disdain it.’

Any of these points could quickly end the battle.

“This round, the advantage is mine!”
