Chapter 71: The Place Where I Have Struggled
All My Life_l
Wang Xiaoying neither liked nor disliked gas.
Because she hardly ever played them.
Her family was not wealthy, and her parents had chronic illnesses. In order to reduce the family’s financial burden, she spent most of her ti working to earn money, leaving her with little ti to play gas.
She also spent her spare ti learning about data analysis and reading case studies on product operations, which left her practically no ti for gas.
After installing the ga, she intended to just give it a try, but by lunchti, she was completely astonished.
Holy moly!
Is this really a ga?
The studio’s most famous flagship product, “Quiet Cultivation,” seed average to her, but the early “The Forest’s Second Son” and the recent “The Naless” were her favorites.
There was one particular aspect of these two gas that deeply moved her.
And that was freedom.
These two gas perfectly embodied what an open-world ans: anything you can think of, you can do within the ga.
Especially “The Naless,” which vividly portrayed the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the suffering of its people, and the helplessness of its heroes.
This might seem to contradict the concept of freedom at first glance, but upon deeper reflection, this sense of helplessness only highlighted the preciousness of freedom, inspiring players to act tirelessly in its pursuit.
The ga actually had only two main missions: joining the Protectorate of Anxi in the early stages and delivering a ssage to Chang’an later on. These missions ran through the whole ga but were far from hollow.
Completing each phase of the main missions changed the ga experience, from the early lone wolf stage to the mid-ga communal life, and finally to late-ga team combat; these three styles blended skillfully, making her feel a unique sense of freedom in each phase.
The freedom of the lone wolf was the most absolute, but also the most dangerous. Players could freely explore the wilderness, but they had to face the terrifying forces of nature and could die at any mont.
The freedom in the Protectorate of Anxi was the most limited, yet the safest. Moving with the main force ant that players only had to focus on their own tasks, using the rest of their ti to improve themselves.
The period of delivering ssages struck a balance.
Players could act freely while still assisting their companions. Sophisticated Al allowed players to form deep bonds with their companions and even make sacrifices for them.
Even more terrifying was that these companions weren’t fixed.
Based on earlier choices and actions, the companions in the later stages could be almost freely combined. Wang Xiaoying even managed to persuade a timid new soldier to beco her companion, deepening her connection to him and pushing her to protect him all the way to Chang’an.please visit ” sitestorys(.)c0m ” maybe y0u will enj0y the captivating sh0rt st0ries.
Of course, this ant greater difficulty, but she chose to focus on equipnt maintenance and trap-making instead of directly engaging the enemy, making her gaming experience less thrilling but safer.
At midday, she played the ga so intensely that she forgot to eat, only coming back to reality when Xu Qingling placed a food box in front of her. Blushing, WangXiaoying said, “Sorry, I’ve played for too long, I won’t do it again.”
“No, it’s fine, I’m just reminding you to eat earlier,” Xu Qingling said with a smile.
Inviting Wang Xiaoying to the break room for lunch, Xu Qingling curiously asked, “Is the boss’s new ga fun to play?”
At that question, Wang Xiaoying couldn’t even care about her food anymore.
Putting her chopsticks down, she excitedly said, “It’s really fun, with incredible freedom. I don’t know about other gas, but this one is fantastic! Xu Qingling, what’s your favorite genre?”
“Ah… I don’t play,” Xu Qingling replied.
“Why not? It’s such an interesting ga!”
“I only play male-oriented romance and character developnt gas.”
“Really? That’s a sha.”
“Yeah…” Xu Qingling sighed regretfully, feeling it was indeed a pity.
But seeing soone else enjoy the gas made by Fang Cheng so much made her happy.
It was no wonder she had chosen him as her boss; he truly had talent.
After lunch, Wang Xiaoying couldn’t wait to get back to the ga, playing until she had to officially start working in the afternoon.
Reluctantly putting the ga aside, she opened a Word docunt, started to contemplate the unique features of the ga, and considered how she could promote it.
Many people think that ga operations are simple: organize so ga events, hand out so benefits, sell so charm on social dia, and then, that’s it.
And in fact… many operators do just that.
But a good operator should proficiently master the players’ ga data, devise operation plans based on retention and demand at various stages, and develop and explore the ga’s selling points and gaplay, ultimately aiming to increase ga sales or the paynt rate.
One needs to decide when to buy traffic and purchase it for different user groups across various platforms. Typically, a ga’s operating costs account for about 30% of its revenue, which illustrates the importance of operations.
However, after understanding the previous operational thods of Fang Cheng Studio, Wang Xiaoying found that their main approach to operation was laissez-faire.
I made the ga,
I put it on platforms,
As for whether or not players buy it or when they buy it, that’s none of my concern.
Yet the more it was so, the more Wang Xiaoying felt that this place was filled with talent.
In a situation with absolutely no promotion, achieving sales of millions of copies solely through player advocacy is truly like getting a million-dollar advertising campaign for free.
Quality and reputation are Fang Cheng Studio’s ultimate weapons; these two factors can save a great deal of cost in ga promotion and enhance the studio’s profitability and competitiveness.
After analyzing the studio’s core competitive edge, Wang Xiaoying shifted her focus to “The Naless.”
This ga should be her trial, and the next step should likely be to operate “Quiet Cultivation” and push its popularity even higher.
Flexing her fingers, Wang Xiaoying felt her switch was flipped on, and she started writing docunts at her workstation, lost in her work.
Drinking the company’s free tea, she felt an outpour of inspiration, and the words in the docunt flowed like a floodgate had been opened.
By the ti work was almost over, she had completed the docunt.
Looking at the docunt with tens of thousands of words, Wang Xiaoying stared at her fingers in surprise, as if seeing them for the first ti.
Fast!
So fast!
For so reason, she felt that her work efficiency had doubled today. What should have been a tedious job beca quick and efficient, and upon completion, she even felt a sense of achievent like never before.
“This place is really too aweso!” she couldn’t help but exclaim while sipping her tea.
Just as she was about to submit her operation plan, the end-of-workday music began to play.
Three planners stood up helplessly, packed their things, and left directly.
The studio’s boss, Fang Cheng, watered the leeks in the tea room and imdiately left without staying a minute longer.
And Xu Qingling sighed and said to a confused Wang Xiaoying, “It’s ti to leave; don’t stay here. Be careful if the boss discovers you’re working overti; you’ll be in trouble.”
“What happens if soone discovers you’re working overti?” Wang Xiaoying swallowed nervously and asked.
“They’ll give you triple the overti pay,” replied Xu Qingling.
“Ah?”
“Then they will let you take ti off at a two-to-one ratio; that ans for every hour of overti, you get two hours of ti off, starting from 5 PM.” “Ah?”
“If you stay past 6 PM, they give you a al allowance, eighty yuan; past 7 PM, a transportation subsidy, one hundred yuan; past 8 PM, a health subsidy, two hundred yuan.”
“You’re kidding, right?”
“You can try it; it’s really scary. Especially the ti off; nobody can bear the pain of not seeing the boss. Okay, you better go now.”
Leaving the studio in a daze, Wang Xiaoying saw Xu Qingling really locking the front door of the studio.
Walking outside, she felt as if she had found the place she’s been striving for all her life.
