Almighty Game Designer

Chapter 29: There is explosive game potential! The Almighty Game Designer

"Official app stores are different from some other game channels. A 24-hour 400 download looks very, very small, but in reality this data is not bad.

Some other game channels, such as the emperor game platform or the brand app store of a major mobile phone manufacturer, their recommended positions can be paid directly, if you brush the list, the recommended position is, You can also discreetly brush as long as you greet the platform. A tad.

Therefore, in other gaming channels, as long as you are willing to spend money, it is not surprising that the first day of direct downloads brushes through thousands of thousands.

However, the official app store refused to brush the list. This new game is online. The game can only be found in an inconspicuous corner, such as "The Adventure of the Storm Knights", even if it is on the list of new tours, new Tour recommendations, but only a few people will download.

However, the official app store will automatically adjust the recommended position according to the new game data, such as "Storm Knight Adventure" data, the next recommendation may be a new boutique tour or a secret game recommendation, which will be, the volume of downloads will go up at once.

If the next recommendation, the download and ranking of "Storm Knight Adventure" can still be maintained at a good level, then the recommended position will be better, the good circle continues, the, then in a week or two downloads Ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands.

Of course, this kind of "wholesome circle" can only be achieved with a very small number of games. Most regular games are recommended because of the decline in data.

In contrast to other platforms, official app stores are divided into very few, only 20% of gaming revenue.

Regarding tax deductions, this is relatively troublesome. The method of tax deduction was different from Chen Mo's past life, but it wasn't difficult to calculate. Transaction tax and income tax of all sorts tax deductions are about 30%.

Of course, the main tax deduction is the net profit from the deduction, but the research and development costs of game designers are not as high as traditional companies, so the profits are high, and the tax deduction is also relatively embarrassing.

If it were 100,000 downloads, Lin Mao's earnings would be 2 million without a discount. After deducting platform shares and various taxes, there will be 1.12 million.

Although only half of it was in hand, it was already a huge profit.

Of course, sales were also affected by the price of the game, for example Lin Mao's price was 20 yuan, and it was relatively difficult to reach 100,000 downloads.

However, despite the low price, the price will drop to 10 yuan, and there are not many games with 100,000 downloads throughout the app store.

This type of game is basically a frequent visitor to various lists, and the recommended position is to be lenient.

Many transparent designer small games have basically thousands of downloads, they have worked hard for half a year and made a million dollars, they had to bear all kinds of expenses and barely keep their food and clothes.

Chen Mo said: "After an hour or two, it is necessary to refresh the recommended position? See where you can climb to where you are now."

Lin Mao nodded, “Yes, I watched the game data for the same period. My game is pretty optimistic. But it is not good to say that after all, we do not know the recommendation algorithm of the app store.”

It could be seen that Lin Mao was still a little nervous. This recommendation will basically affect the future fate of this game. For Lin Mao, this game was difficult, sincere and creative. Admissions.

Chen Mo patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, the quality of the game is here, what are you afraid of?"

Lin Mao said, "Well, I hope. Is your game playable? I can see if I can give you some advice."

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, you can play with a computer or with a mobile phone."

Lin Maoyi said: "Is there still two ends? Your child's ambition is not small! Then I use my phone, I'm used to using the phone."

After installing the game, Lin Mao clicked on the icon on the screen to open Plants vs Zombies.

Lin Mao played for ten minutes and was quickly drawn to the game.

"This game .. is very complete!"

The beginner guide is simple and clear, the hands are fast, the difficulty level is set correctly, and the fighting system is rich ...

If someone were to tell Lin Mao now that this was a boutique game on the bestseller list, he would not doubt it!

"This ... is this what you've done in three months?" Lin Mao looked at Chen Mo, his face was incredible.

Chen Mo nodded: "Well, the idea has been conceived for a long time, how is it?"

Lin Mao couldn't help but nod: "I'm sure that I have the potential to become a blast game! For this quality, there are already many games on the list. When will you be online?"

Chen Mo said: "Tomorrow. I gathered some feedback from the players in the last two days. It's generally good. Some unreasonable places have been revised. There's no big deal. Once the line goes up, the player data is more, and then it resumes. Next update. "

Lin Mao said: "I understand, you have done a lot of these games than me. I really don't think about it. You really opened it. How suddenly it became so powerful!"

Chen Mo smiled and said: "It's weird. In addition, the game can be made, not only to see its quality, but also to see luck. I hope the game can be sold."

Lin Mao said, "Yes, I hope I can sell it. When I am on the new tour list, I can also make friends."

In the past three days, nearly 100 people have played "Plant vs. Zombies" .The only ones here were the savages from the street experience shop, most of them were Wen Lingwei and Jia Peng. .

These people spontaneously introduced the game to their roommates upon returning, so Chen Mo's experience shop accepted many players.

Now Chen Mo's experience shop had more than ten people every day, and this was even more crowded.

Chen Mo and Lin Mao chatted for a while.

"Hmm? It is recommended to brush!" Said Lin Mao in surprise.

Chen Mo came together: "See, where's the new recommendation?"

Lin Mao was excited to see through the app store: "Recommendations of the classified game! New tour boutique! Both recommendations are in!"

"The bull was forced," Chen Mo smiled, "You are the rhythm of fire."

Both of these recommendations are good recommendations for new games. Classified game recommendations can bring in many players who like this type of game, while new tour recommendations will appeal to players who are fond of finding new games.

At the same time, there are two recommendations, which indicate that in the system score, "Storm Knight Adventure" has been listed as the main recommendation game, in the short term it will definitely usher in a surge of sales spikes.

If you can proceed to continue with the previous high score, then this game will almost certainly get better recommendations, even recommendations on the home page are also very likely.

Lin Mao patted the chest: "There is no peace of mind, the second recommendation is too critical."

Chen Mo reminded: "Don't care, still pay more attention to player comments. There may be some competitors that must be discredited, must be careful."

Lin Mao nodded: "Well, I know, this is only the second recommendation. It's still the beginning of the game."

The two men spoke for a few more hours. By the way, they learn new games in the same period and pay attention to the data of each game. At night, the experience store was closed, and the two people went to eat together for the night and night, after which Lin Mao left.

After all, he now needs to keep an eye on game data and player feedback, which is key timing. And Chen Mo had to prepare for the game online, and neither of them had much time.
