Chapter 665 Membership
Moreover, this incident also made Jester feel very bad.
That is, this way of connecting to the network is only convenient for one situation, that is, it is convenient for adding the mall internal system they guaranteed to abolish.
Because the entire networking process can effectively isolate and modify.
Only after the stand-alone game is isolated and modified can in-app purchase become meaningful. As for things like cloud archives, there is no need to connect to the entire network. Isn’t it enough to connect to the Internet when archived?
We cannot give players an idea that our game is incomplete, which is very important in Jester's opinion. Other designers at Mars Entertainment are basically brought out by Jester. Although their personalities and thoughts are different, their attitudes towards a game are still similar.
That means you must respect the players.
"So, Jester, what do you think of this solution?" After everyone was silent for a long time, Mark Seni suddenly spoke, and he seemed to have a solution.
Jester nodded after hearing this.
Motion to him to speak out.
"Since that's the case, we should not regard this achievement system as a complete part of a game, so that players will not feel that they spent money and played a game different from others." Mark Seni said his answer, and then many people laughed. Although Mark Seni did not say it clearly, they could also hear Mark Seni's potential meaning.
It's very simple. Since Mark Seney said that the achievement system should not be regarded as a complete part of a game, it means that this can be launched as an expansion pack of a game.
In this way, players who want to get this experience must consider whether they can connect to the Internet at any time to fully obtain this part of the game experience.
After hearing this, Jester did not laugh.
On the contrary, he thought it was a serious solution, and it coincided with his idea, that is, the Golden Member System. Golden Membership is a later Microsoft statement, and Sony generally calls it ps+, but the name ps+ is too abstract after all, unlike Golden Members. You can take a look and you will know what it is without someone explaining it.
"I heard Mark say this just now, but I gave me an immature idea. I had this idea before, but it was very vague, but after thinking about it, I thought it was pretty good." Jester said.
When everyone heard Jester speak, they immediately looked serious.
"It's actually very simple, and it has something to do with my judgment on the future development route of games. In my opinion, we humans are a kind of social animal. In a simple way, most humans like to gather people, so future games must be moving towards this trend. I proposed the concept of online games at an internal development conference before, and many of the people here may not have participated in that conference."
"Now with the gradual development of the Internet, this game method that gathers players from different regions into a game world through the Internet will definitely appear."
"The current tendency may be just on PC games, but in the future, it will definitely be extended to the console platform. How can we enhance the stickiness of our users? I think a membership system can be adopted."
Jester spoke his thoughts in concise language.
The membership system is not a big news within Mars Entertainment. On the platform of the chess and card game under the Battle.com, Jester proposed this membership system. Players who paid the membership fee can queue up faster than others and search for opponents faster. Anyway, some games are convenient, so they did not think that this would have much income.
However, unexpectedly, over the past period, the membership fee income of this chess and card game platform was quite good.
So, when Jester talked about this membership system, many people thought of this, but Jester shook his head and denied everyone's thoughts: "It's not the same as the members on the previous chess and card game platform."
Jester thought silently and said.
"In fact, it is also a paid system, but this paid member will definitely not be as convenient as the chess and card game platform. I have not designed it yet. Generally speaking, there is probably cloud archive, which means that players can pass the archives of their games to our servers through the Internet. When he plays this game in other places again, through his paid member account, he can continue to play with his save."
When Jester talked about the benefits of the first paid member, everyone nodded.
This is indeed a favor that is more popular among players.
However, Jester obviously hadn't finished speaking yet. He continued: "The second one is the achievement system we mentioned before. However, here I want to change it to the trophy system. Players will unlock some achievements when connecting to our server to play through paid members. Of course, I think it is undesirable to not add the achievement system to the game as Mark said before."
As he said that, Jester smiled at Mark Seney.
Mark Seni shrugged indifferently, this was an idea he had not been very mature before.
"In my opinion, this new system is not a tool that forces players to spend money to buy our paid members, but a thing that improves the gameplay and lifespan of the game. If we don't add it to the original game, then isn't our intention to develop this system going to put the cart before the horse?" Jester explained some of his ideas.
"I think so. We divide this achievement system into two parts. One part is loaded in the game. When players play the game, as long as they reach the goal, they can obtain these achievements without networking. The other part is on our server, and the achievements are the same as those on stand-alone. However, if the game is connected to the Internet, not only can the players obtain single-player achievements in the game, but also on their membership accounts. Our member account system will only record their networking achievements."
