Chapter 102: Chapter 57: A New Game with Normal Pricing?_3

But if we can’t differentiate, it’s going to be tough...

In thought, he quickly flipped through the thick stack of proposals.

A few minutes later, Gou Chehua’s expression went from confused to shocked.

He was practically petrified where he stood.

What the heck?

What kind of unheard-of game genre is this??

It’s said to be an idle game, but it’s reliant on player decisions, unlike traditional idle games where you set it up and let it run to collect earnings.

In this game, you need to slay monsters and fend off enemies.

Turn-based isn’t quite right either, as damage is calculated in real-time.

Action? Players don’t have to control characters... at most they might just press a button when the skill bar is charged.

Leveling up by fighting monsters?

There’s fighting, but the characters you put down don’t level up...

This, this, this...

Even as a seasoned gamer with three years of planning experience, Gou Chehua couldn’t help but sigh internally.

I’ve never seen this type before!

Just how does Mr. Ke’s brain even work...?

Why is it that everyone grows up under the same sun, and they say there’s nothing new under the sun.

Yet Mr. Ke always manages to come up with some unique new tricks?

"This game... it’s good!" With Gou Chehua’s years of work experience, he could tell at a glance that this game was sure to be a hit if it was developed!

Even in the cutthroat gacha market, it would hold its ground!

However, after a bit of thought, Gou Chehua still cautiously asked an additional question.

"Mr. Ke... this game, its pricing won’t have anything special about it, right?"

I’m begging you, Mr. Ke! Charge more!!

Don’t pull another one-dollar purchase, no-questions-asked refunds, or ad-blocked in-app purchases again!

With your Idea King’s mindset, if a company like Tengjing or Netcom got hold of it, as long as they develop it, they’re looking at revenues of at least a hundred million.

But why, when this idea falls into the hands of the number one player, do we never make much money...

It’s gotten to the point where Gou Chehua is increasingly doubting himself, wondering if it’s his fault as a planner that the company isn’t earning enough.

I’m to blame, I deserve to die...

Thankfully, Ke Jin’s next response gave Gou Chehua a bit of relief.

"Hmm, this game’s pricing will be on the normal side."

Phew...

Gou Chehua wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his hanging heart finally settled, "Then Mr. Ke, do you think we should go with the average pricing of 50 yuan per draw like the medium-sized companies, or lean towards the big companies and set a three-digit price? In my opinion, our game’s novel gameplay could even try to match the pricing standards of the big factories..."

"50 yuan per draw? Triple digits?" Ke Jin frowned slightly upon hearing this, "That’s too high, 5 yuan per draw is more like it."

"Huh?"

Gou Chehua stood bewildered in the wind.

Are you only making games for fun???

"But 5 yuan per draw... we’re not making money... The last pricing for Gotham was six yuan per draw... and we didn’t recoup much in the end."

Ke Jin shook his head, "No, no, no, our goal with this game isn’t to make the money from five yuan per draw."

"Uh... What is it then?"

"Monthly card," Ke Jin said with a smile.

"Monthly card?" Gou Chehua was confused again.

What’s a monthly card?

Like a membership for the video website next door? Once you buy a month’s membership, you can draw cards for free all month?

Thinking of this possibility, Gou Chehua felt darkness looming before him.

This... this is even more outrageous than five yuan per draw!

Ah!!

Mr. Ke!!

You might as well fire me!!

If this game doesn’t make money, I’ll feel guilty just taking my salary from you!!
