After Inc, the Plague Inc Sequel, Priced at $2 in Risky Move for Devs
After Inc.:$2定价策略下的瘟疫公司续作
手游市场饱和与大胆的定价策略
2024年11月28日,Ndemic Creations推出了瘟疫公司续作——After Inc.,定价仅为2美元。然而,开发者James Vaughn在同日接受Game File采访时,对这一大胆的定价策略表达了担忧。这款游戏以瘟疫公司为背景,讲述了在数十年的Necroa病毒肆虐后,人类走出避难所的故事。
尽管After Inc. 的设定比其前作瘟疫公司和叛乱公司更乐观,但Vaughn仍对2美元的定价心存疑虑。他的担忧源于手游市场充斥着免费游戏和微交易。然而,他们最终还是决定推出这款游戏,其信心源于之前游戏的成功经验。
“我们能够考虑发行一款付费游戏,唯一的原因是我们拥有瘟疫公司和叛乱公司这两款成功的游戏,它们能够帮助玩家找到我们的游戏,也证明了人们对智能、精良的策略类手游仍然有需求。如果我们没有瘟疫公司来帮忙,我认为任何游戏,无论它有多好,都很难被注意到。”
Ndemic Creations承诺,所有购买的内容都将免费提供给玩家,不会有额外的付费项目。在After Inc.的App Store页面上,开发者提到没有“消耗性微交易”,并补充道:“扩展包是一次购买,永久游玩”,保证玩家的游玩体验不会因额外付费而受影响。
目前,After Inc. 在App Store付费榜上排名第五,紧随瘟疫公司和星露谷物语之后。该游戏在Google Play上的评分也达到了4.77分(满分5分)。此外,名为After Inc. Revival的抢先体验版也将于2025年在Steam平台上推出,将Ndemic Creations的最新游戏带给PC玩家。
After Inc.是什么?
After Inc.是一款融合了模拟元素的“迷你”4X大型策略游戏,玩家需要在瘟疫公司事件之后从零开始重建人类社会。在充满生机和活力的后世界末日英国,玩家需要利用现代文明的残骸,在多个定居点中收集资源,建造农场和木材厂等建筑,提供基本服务,让居民生活幸福。玩家可以选择五位领导者(Steam版为十位),并利用他们的不同能力带领定居点发展。
然而,威胁依然存在。僵尸在世界各地游荡,玩家必须清除它们才能安全地收集资源并扩张定居点。但拥有足够的资源和人力,玩家就能扭转乾坤,重新夺回世界。Vaughn向玩家保证:“没有什么问题是几根钉子加个板球棒解决不了的!”
