"Mr. Gao, Boss Chen from Huanyu Technologies isn't trying to scam us, is he?"
"Tsk, are you out of your mind? Is he trying to scam us with money?"
"Uh … that's true. But, this, this, this, this, when he gave us advice a few days ago, is he hinting that we're going against Fantasy Westward Journey? "
"That's nothing. Both Dao Querying and Fantasy Westward Journey are turn-based games. They're competitors. As for what happened a few days ago … Don't be surprised. This is what I admire the most about Boss Chen. "
"Mr. Gao, what do you mean?"
"Do you know about the horse-racing mechanism?"
"No."
"Let me tell you. The horse-racing mechanism is an internal competition mechanism created by Huanyu Technologies. It was first implemented in YY. For example, for a project, a normal company would assign a team to work on it, right? "
"Yes, Mr. Gao, isn't that so?"
"But Huanyu Technologies is different. They assign two teams to work on it. Whoever does well will be in charge of the project. Whoever does poorly will be eliminated … "
"Damn, this is too scary."
The R&D members of Guangxia Technologies gasped.
They were confident that their skills were not bad, but if they really went to Huanyu Technologies, the pressure they would have to bear would be incomparably terrifying.
"That's why YY can destroy QQ, and why Huanyu Technologies is the number one game in the industry. These are not without reason. Even if Boss Chen personally instructs us, we may not be a match for Fantasy Westward Journey. On the contrary, I have a feeling that if we join, Fantasy Westward Journey will reach a higher level. "
"Understood."
Hearing this, everyone's admiration for Chen Yu deepened by another level.
Not to mention other things, just the fact that he could create a horse-racing mechanism internally was not something that others could do.
The horse-racing mechanism looked good, but it was extremely wasteful.
It could be said that a project would cost twice as much, or even more.
"By the way, Mr. Gao, there's something we haven't decided on. If we don't make a decision now, I'm afraid we won't have enough time."
At this moment, one of them suddenly asked.
With this, everyone knew what it was.
"What does everyone think?"
Without asking, Gao Shuhua naturally knew what was going on.
This matter was related to the charging model of Dao Querying.
Before the question, they had a very intense debate about the charging model.
At first, they wanted to do it for free.
Because Fantasy Westward Journey charged a fee, if they did it for free, they could quickly attract the attention of the market.
However, after thinking about it, free games seemed feasible, but they did not have much experience with free-to-play games.
Although there were two free games under Huanyu Technology, whether it was Bubble Hall or Kartrider, these two games were casual games. It was a simple RPG role-playing game, and it was charging money.
"Why don't we ask Boss Chen for his opinion?"
"Eh …"
Gao Shuhua nodded in agreement.
Although Dao Querying and Fantasy Westward Journey were competing items, judging from Chen Yu's attitude, he still took care of them.
"Okay, I'll call Boss Chen."
After thinking for a while, Gao Shuhua called Chen Yu.
"Is it free or charged?"
Chen Yu was not surprised to receive Gao Shuhua's call.
During the last inspection, he knew that Dao Querying did not seem to have completely decided on the charging model of the game.
Of course, some people might think that the game was already 80% completed, so why was it not decided yet?
In fact, this was very normal.
The charging model of the game, whether it was charged or free, was actually the same when creating the game.
He could make it free after it was done, or he could change it to charging after it was done.
It was nothing more than creating more game props when it was free.
This would not take much time.
In his previous life, there were even some game development companies that created two versions of the game.
One was free, and the other was charged.
If you wanted to play for free, you could play for free. If you wanted to charge, you could play for free.
"What do you think?"
Chen Yu asked.
"We don't have much experience. We wanted to do it for free, but on the one hand, we did it for free to compete with Fantasy Westward Journey. On the other hand, we wanted to use the free game to attract popularity. But if we really want to do it for free, I'm afraid we won't do it well … "
"In that case, I'll analyze these two models for you."
In his previous life, Dao Querying was free.
Although Dao Querying was a huge success because it was free.
However, to be honest, compared to charging, free did have an advantage in the beginning.
However, the real money was still being charged.
Can you imagine how much money millions of people could earn in a day if they were all online at the same time?
Although there were many ballers who charged for free, on average, it could not compare to charging.
Of course, this was secondary.
Most importantly, for a game like an RPG, once it was free, there would definitely be all sorts of items that would destroy the balance of the game. Every time the game was updated, there would be new equipment, new props, new pets, new gameplay … It was all to attract players to charge money. If you controlled it well, you might be able to persist in your game for a while. If you did not control it well, it would affect the ecological balance of the entire game.
In his previous life, the control of RMB in the early stages of Dao Querying was still alright. However, once it reached the later stages, it completely collapsed.
It was not that the main creative team was not strong enough.
It was just that if this kind of free game continued, all kinds of equipment and props that required money would be continuously introduced. No matter how talented the main creative team was, they would not be able to hold on.
Strictly speaking, Chen Yu was inclined to charge.
Of course, Chen Yu was inclined to charge for Dao Querying because of the current online environment.
In his previous life, Dao Querying was free after Shengda completely launched the free strategy. At that time, everyone had already accepted the concept of free. At the same time, the major game companies also had a more effective theory for the game to be free. At the very least, they understood that they could rely on free money to earn money without destroying the game balance.
However, if Dao Querying was free now, it would be the first RPG online game to create a free model.
Chen Yu did not know if Gao Shuhua was a genius or not.
However, Chen Yu knew that if they did it for free now, it would definitely not be as good as in his previous life.
Of course, there were disadvantages to charging.
It was more difficult to promote in the early stages.
What's more, they would have to face a strong competitor, Fantasy Westward Journey.
However, if a game really had a lot of gameplay, even if there was a strong competitor like Fantasy Westward Journey, they could still make their own reputation.
Just like Fantasy Westward Journey.
Fantasy Westward Journey surpassed Fantasy Westward Journey.
However, why were there still so many people playing Fantasy Westward Journey?
It was not that they did not know about Fantasy Westward Journey, but Fantasy Westward Journey had its classic gameplay.
And these gameplay and fun were not available in Fantasy Westward Journey.
"That's the details. As for whether it's free or charged, it's up to you."
As for how the Supreme Scion should choose, Chen Yu only gave suggestions. He did not help them make decisions. However, after hearing Chen Yu's suggestion, Gao Shuhua already had an answer:
"Brothers, I've decided. We'll charge for it."
This was Gao Shuhua's decision.
This decision changed the trajectory of Dao Querying and also changed the future of Guangxia Technology.
