Super Rich from Winning a Lottery-Chapter 337 - 240: The Illustrious Xu Pidai (Part 2)

"The collected Gold Coins can be used by players to unlock various power-up skills. There are all kinds of skills, such as temporarily making the player invincible or allowing the player to gain magnetism to automatically attract nearby Gold Coins."

"Besides, these power-up skills can also be upgraded, meaning players will be motivated to keep going 'one more round' to collect more Gold Coins and complete additional challenges."

However, this type of game has a major drawback: no matter how far the player runs or how many turns are made, the scenes remain basically the same.

The game's scene changes are too few, looking the same from beginning to end, making players wonder if they're just going around in circles.

This leads to severe aesthetic fatigue after a while, causing people to quickly get bored.

But regardless of whether players are tired of endless running games, Temple Run still demonstrates the remaining vitality of this type of game.

Though the theme is still endless running, the new treasure hunting-style theme, with its 3D visuals, combined with more actions and continuously unlocked new skills, provides players with more challenges.

"Chairman, you mentioned earlier that this game will be offered for free download, so where is the game's profit point?" asked the team leader of the game design team, You Xinjun.

"If a game designed and developed with hard work can't bring profits, wouldn't we be doing good deeds for nothing?"

"Of course, there will be profit points! We can offer paid downloads overseas, listed in the Apple Store, with each download priced at 1.99 US Dollars," Yi Anguo said.

"As for the domestic market, although we provide free downloads, we can earn money by selling items in the game store. Consumers can purchase one of four types of items: permanent ability boosts, one-time use items, more characters, and mobile wallpapers."

"Different items require different amounts of Gold Coins, ranging from 250 to 25,000."

"Purchasing ability upgrade items will present various charms on your running path, including Invisibility, Acceleration, and automatic Gold Coin collection, making it easier to achieve high scores."

"The one-time use items include Resurrection Wings, allowing you to revive in full status after failure, and items that skip the first 1000 meters and the first 2500 meters. However, unlike ability upgrade items, these are one-time use only."

"There are also 7 game characters available for unlocking in the store, with costs ranging from 10,000 to 25,000 Gold Coins. Game wallpapers can also be sold, with each wallpaper priced at 5000 Gold Coins."

"If you're too lazy to collect Gold Coins during the game, and coincidentally have some money to spend, you can purchase Gold Coins through top-ups. The in-game Gold Coin pricing is the same as in the iOS version: 2500 Gold Coins priced at 0.99 US Dollar, and 200,000 Gold Coins priced at 19.99 US Dollars, note, it's US Dollar."

"Chairman, I've roughly understood part of what you've said, but there're still many things I don't get. Could you elaborate a bit on the background and storyline of this game?" You Xinjun asked embarrassedly.

"The background and storyline of the game are actually quite simple. You steal a cursed artifact from a temple and must keep running to escape the temple, with a large group of evil creatures chasing after you, wanting to make you their dinner."

"But in fact, these monkeys aren't what you really need to worry about because if you don't frequently stumble, you basically won't see them; they'll be far left behind."

"While running around the temple, you can collect the Gold Coins along the way by tilting your phone left or right. The collected Gold Coins can be used in the store to purchase various abilities for upgrading the protagonist."

"In the game, what the player does isn't just simple running. They also need to jump over tree roots, slide under obstacles, and there are various obstacles on the running path. Some paths are damaged, and if you're not careful, you can crash into trees, walls, fall into water, or get eaten by monkeys."

"As the running distance increases, the character's speed will gradually accelerate, and the road conditions will become more complex. The game's control method is very simple; the entire screen acts like a big directional key. To turn left or right, just swipe the screen left or right; swipe up to jump, swipe down to slide under obstacles."

"So, how does a player complete the game?" asked You Xinjun again.

How can the game be completed? Actually, Temple Run is a game that never ends; as long as you don't stumble, crash into walls, or fall into water, you can continue playing indefinitely.

Temple Run has up to 36 achievements that players can gradually unlock during the game.

Achievements include running distance, collecting Gold Coins, and unlocking various items, etc.

Yi Anguo answered to the best of his ability to the game designer regarding various questions about this game.

Some questions he couldn't answer, those would need to be figured out by the game designers themselves.

If under these circumstances, the entire game design team still fails to complete the development of the Temple Run game, then Yi Anguo will feel very disappointed.

Xu Pidai's Hengda Group had rapid development after being listed on Harbor Island, acquiring land all over the country, then mortgaging the land for bank loans, developing to build houses, and selling houses even before the foundation was laid.
