Chapter 197 Mobile Games

Wang Xiaobin considered it for a moment, "If brother departments need it, of course, we have an unshirkable responsibility."

"Moreover, these PC game conversions to mobile games can definitely bring more revenue to Shang Yang Games, which is also good for us."

"However... we have limited manpower. We also have the development of *Fitness Battle* on hand, so the construction period is difficult to guarantee."

"What is the specific release time of this phone?"

Jiang Yuan said, "The phone launch event is tentatively scheduled for June, with more than three months to go."

"If there's enough time, it's best to release these mobile games at the same time as the phone. If there's not enough time, we can only wait until after the phone is released and then update them gradually."

Wang Xiaobin roughly estimated the construction period and the manpower on his side and said, "There is indeed a bit of a manpower shortage. However, Tenda Games may be able to help us share some of the burden."

"The development of *Mission and Choice* should have entered the later stages. After the development of this game is completed, they can free up their hands to develop the mobile version of *Sea Fortress*. And we should have no problem being responsible for the mobile version of *Lonely Desert Road*."

"However, both of these games will definitely have to undergo some degree of modification to be made into mobile games..."

Jiang Yuan was very happy: "I don't care about that, you are the professionals, you can decide how to modify it."

Wang Xiaobin nodded: "Okay, leave this to me, don't worry."

After sending Jiang Yuan away, Wang Xiaobin began to consider how to modify these two games into mobile games.

Strictly speaking, neither *Sea Fortress* nor *Lonely Desert Road* is particularly suitable for mobile games.

*Sea Fortress* has a large capacity with a lot of story content; while *Lonely Desert Road* has a driving time of several hours, which is completely contrary to the fragmented time characteristics of mobile games.

After thinking about it, Wang Xiaobin decided that he still had to modify it slightly.

According to Tenda's consistent habit, when PC games are converted to mobile games, they must have cross-platform data synchronization. For example, if a player has already bought a Huo Qilin (a special weapon) for 888 yuan in the PC version of *Sea Fortress*, then the data must be synchronized to the mobile version.

This is what President Pei has repeatedly emphasized, and it will never be changed.

Although this will reduce a lot of revenue, it can increase player stickiness and make it less likely for players to be lost.

For players, they can play mobile games to relax after getting tired of playing PC games, and they can return to PC games after getting tired of playing mobile games. Of course, whether it's GOG or *Sea Fortress*, as long as it's a game with competitive elements, the PC and mobile game matching systems are separate to ensure the fairness of the game.

At the same time, data synchronization can also play a better role in drainage when mobile games are released.

Many old players are used to playing PC games. If the mobile game does not inherit the PC game account, these old players will definitely not want to grind again. But if they inherit the PC game data, most of these old PC game players will try it out when the mobile game is launched, and maybe some of them will stay.

As for the game's revenue... as long as the players stay, are you still worried that they won't spend money?

Therefore, under the premise of PC and mobile game data synchronization, Wang Xiaobin began to consider how to modify the two games.

In addition to the most basic modifications to the operation method, the gameplay of the game must also be slightly modified.

*Sea Fortress* will cut all story modes, retain only the battle mode, and appropriately compress art resources. While ensuring the image quality on the mobile phone, the game capacity will be greatly reduced so as not to take up too much mobile phone space for players.

*Lonely Desert Road* will compress the game time, from the original eight hours to two hours. After all, holding a mobile phone for two hours is already painful enough.

Then, make a few racing maps for *Lonely Desert Road*, with each map taking about three to five minutes, so that players can race freely. Otherwise, if it is just the original gameplay, most players are already tired of it, and no one should play it again, which will not help the Otto phone.

After these two games are converted to mobile game versions, they will still be data-synchronized with the PC game, and they will all be free games. When the Otto G1 mobile phone is launched, you can default to GOG and these two games to highlight the game characteristics of the Otto G1 mobile phone.

Wang Xiaobin immediately began to organize the design documents and began to arrange the development of these two mobile games.

February 27th, Monday.

Pei Qian had just arrived at the office and was preparing to check the work of various departments when Lao Ma came to knock on the door.

Ma Yang's expression was very happy: "Brother Qian, the Tuowei Live website is almost done. The basic functions have been completed, and it has been repeatedly tested. It's almost time to release the promotional video!"

"However, only the basic functions have been completed, and more detailed functions are still being worked on. Moreover, there are not many streamers in the live broadcast room for the time being, so there is not much content."

"Brother Qian, do you think we should release the promotional video now, or wait for a while, find a group of streamers, and then release the promotional video and officially launch it?"

Pei Qian immediately said: "Strike while the iron is hot, don't delay, let's release it now!"

Pei Qian was still very satisfied with the development speed of Tuowei Live.

The reason why the development is relatively fast is mainly because Tuowei Live is currently only doing basic functions, that is, ensuring that viewers can see the streamer's screen and record replays. Other more complex functions have not been developed yet.

Moreover, there are not many streamers yet, because many people don't even know that Tenda has created Tuowei Live.

Without popularity, how can there be streamers?

If other live broadcast platforms did it, they would definitely spend a lot of money to poach a group of streamers, and then start promoting and creating hype. The opening of the live broadcast website would also be accompanied by the start of many big streamers, so as to better create hype.

But Pei Qian wanted to do the opposite, the cooler the better!

Tuowei Live only has basic functions, not many streamers and not many viewers, it doesn't matter, just start it first.

When everyone sees it in the future, this live broadcast platform is so cool, forming the preconceived notion that "this live broadcast platform is not good", and it will be even more difficult to make a comeback in the future.

Therefore, Pei Qian immediately decided to launch Tuowei Live without any preparation!

Ma Yang didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He happily left Pei Qian's office and went back to urge Chen Yufeng to release the promotional video and let Tuowei Live officially launch.

...

Pei Qian got up and went to the rest area to get a can of Happy Fat Water, and then silently refreshed the Aili Island website, waiting patiently.

Sure enough, after Lao Ma went back, he immediately released the promotional video for Tuowei Live!

Pei Qian already knew the content of this promotional video, which was about "the different lives of two kinds of people". People who watch live broadcasts waste their time and achieve nothing, while people who don't watch live broadcasts use this time to enrich and improve themselves, and successfully reach the peak of their careers.

This promotional video was Meng Chang's painstaking work, and Pei Qian was very confident in his abilities.

The audience will definitely be stimulated and spray Tuowei Live very badly, right?

Pei Qian watched the entire video from beginning to end again, and then silently refreshed the comment area, wanting to see the audience's reaction.

"What does this promotional video mean?!"

"Advise us to cherish our time and not watch live broadcasts?"

"Isn't this a promotional video for a live broadcast website? Blacking itself?"

"...As a university lazy dog, I seem to see myself in this promotional video."

"The scene of watching live broadcasts in the dormitory is too real, so real that it makes me uncomfortable! I reported it!"

"Who installed a surveillance camera in my place?"

"Isn't this deliberately disgusting people? Taking a break and relaxing by watching a live broadcast will be labeled as 'wasting time'? Aren't other entertainment activities also wasting time?"

"Is Tuowei Live trying to create a big news? Criticize all its peers? But it is also a live broadcast platform... Isn't this scolding itself?"

Obviously, the attitudes of these viewers were three parts anger and seven parts incomprehension.

Although this promotional video did not explicitly say it, it still subtly implied that "people who are addicted to live broadcasts are lazy dogs", which will definitely stimulate those who usually like to watch live broadcasts.

But most viewers' attitude was not anger, but incomprehension.

Because this promotional video seems to be telling the truth. If you spend a lot of time addicted to live broadcasts, it will indeed waste time and affect your studies or career.

But the problem is, why is a live broadcast platform promoting this kind of thing? This motive is really puzzling!

The viewers' first reaction was that this "Tuowei Live" wanted to create a big news, create hype, and promote its own live broadcast platform.

Being scolded is also a kind of hype.

Everyone has seen a lot of the tricks of live broadcast platforms. In order to gain popularity, they will stop at nothing. Sometimes being scolded is better than being unknown.

Since the purpose is to gain popularity by being scolded, the best way is not to give it any popularity.

Therefore, the popularity of this video after it was released was not very high, and many people were spraying it, saying that Tuowei Live deliberately filmed this kind of sensational video in order to gain popularity, and the way they did things was ugly.

Seeing this situation, Pei Qian couldn't help but smile.

Okay, Meng Chang still has something!

Not only did he not get any popularity for Tuowei Live, but he was also scolded. Well done!

...

At the same time, Meng Chang, who was preparing to film an e-sports promotional video, also saw the promotional video of Tuowei Live on Aili Island.

His face was filled with a happy expression similar to Pei Qian's.

The situation is excellent!

This promotional video has no popularity, and even if there are comments, they are basically scolding. According to his agreement with President Pei, he will definitely get a large bonus!

As soon as he thought of the bonus, Meng Chang felt full of energy, and he couldn't wait to finish filming the e-sports promotional video and have a double whammy.

However, after Meng Chang refreshed the comment area several times, he suddenly saw a new comment.

"Don't rush to spray, everyone, we misunderstood! This promotional video of Tuowei Live is not trying to gain popularity. This live broadcast platform is completely different from other live broadcasts! Everyone go to the Tuowei Live website to see and you will understand!"

Seeing this comment, Meng Chang's expression was a little dazed.

What does this mean?

Why do they say that Tuowei Live is completely different from other live broadcast platforms?

Meng Chang vaguely felt that something was wrong, and quickly searched for "Tuowei Live", found the official website and clicked on it.

Then, on the homepage, he saw an old man with gray hair and a hale and hearty spirit, using a very easy-to-understand way to explain the basic knowledge of ancient literature, including ancient poetry and classical Chinese.

The background was a bookshelf that occupied an entire wall, and there were also various calligraphy and paintings hanging next to it, full of classical charm. It was obviously the home of this old professor.

There were not many people in the live broadcast room, but Professor Kong Zhemin didn't care. He smiled and spoke eloquently, just like he was giving a lecture to freshmen.
