MTL - Almighty Game Designer (Almighty Video Game Designer)-Chapter 29 There are explosive game potential!

The official app store is different from some other game channels. The 24-hour 400 download looks very, very small, but in fact this data is not bad.

Some other game channels, such as the emperor game platform or the brand application stores of major mobile phone manufacturers, their recommended positions can be directly paid for, if you brush the list, you can also silently brush as long as you say hello to the platform. a bit.

Therefore, in other game channels, as long as you are willing to spend money, it is not surprising that the first day of downloads directly brush thousands of thousands.

However, the official app store refuses to brush any list. The new game is online. It can only be found in an inconspicuous corner, such as "The Storm Knight Adventure", even if it is on the new tour list, new Tour recommendations, but only a few people will go to download.

However, the official app store will automatically adjust the recommended position according to the data of the new game, such as "Storm Knight Adventure" data, the next recommendation is probably a new tour boutique or classified game recommendation, the download volume will go up at once.

If the next recommendation, "Storm Knight Adventure" downloads and ratings can still be maintained at a good level, then the recommended position will become better, such a virtuous circle has continued, then within a week or two downloads Can range from a few hundred to tens of thousands.

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

Unlike the other platforms, the official app store is divided into very few, only 20% of the game revenue.

As for the tax deduction, it is relatively troublesome. The tax deduction method is different from Chen Mo’s past life, but it is not difficult to count. The transaction tax and income tax all kinds of miscellaneous tax deductions are about 30%.

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

If it is 100,000 downloads, Lin Mao’s income will be 2 million without discounts. After deducting the platform share and various taxes, there will be 1.12 million.

Although only half of it is in hand, it is already a big profit.

Of course, sales are also affected by the price of the game. For example, Lin Mao’s price is 20 yuan, and it is relatively difficult to reach 100,000 downloads.

However, even if the price is cheap, it will drop to 10 yuan, and there are not many games with 100,000 downloads in the entire app store.

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

Many small transparent designers' games basically have thousands of downloads. They have worked hard for half a year and earned a million dollars. They have to bear all kinds of expenses and barely maintain their food and clothing.

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

Lin Mao nodded. "Yeah, I watched the game data for the same period. My game is still quite optimistic. But it is not good to say that after all, we don't know the recommendation algorithm of the app store."

It can be seen that Lin Mao is still a little nervous. This recommendation will basically affect the future fate of this game. For Lin Mao, this game is hard, sincere and creative. Acceptance.

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

Lin Mao said: "Well, I hope. Right, is your game already 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 it still double-ended? Your kid's ambition is not small! Then I use my mobile phone, I am used to using a mobile phone."

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

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

"This game... is very complete!"

After all, Lin Mao is a game designer, and the angle of watching the game is different from other players. He was surprised to find that the game's picture, music, interface, gameplay and so on were very fit, he couldn't even pick up any problems!

The novice guide is simple and clear, the hands are quick, the difficulty of the level is set properly, and the combat system is rich...

If someone tells Lin Mao now that this is a boutique game on the bestseller list, he will not doubt it!

"This... is this what you have 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?"

Lin Mao can't help but nod: "I am convinced that I have the potential to become a game of explosion! For this quality, it is already a lot of games on the list. When are you going to go online?"

Chen Mo said: "Tomorrow. I collected some feedback from the players in the past two days. It is generally good. Some unreasonable places have been revised. There is no big problem. After the line is up, the player data is more, and then proceed. Subsequent updates."

Lin Mao said: "I see, you have done a lot of this game than I have. I really didn't think about it. You really opened it up. How suddenly it became so powerful!"

Chen Mo smiled and said: "This is awkward. Besides, the game can be made, not just to see the quality, but also to look at luck. I hope that 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 get a companion."

In the past three days, nearly 100 people have played "Plants vs. Zombies". The only ones here are the wild players of the road experience store. Most of them are Wen Lingwei and Jia Peng. .

These people spontaneously introduced the game to their roommates after returning, so that Chen Mo’s experience store received a batch of players.

Now Chen Mo’s experience store has more than ten people every day, and it’s more lively.

Chen Mo and Lin Mao chatted for a while.

"Hmm? Recommended to brush!" Lin Mao said with surprise.

Chen Mo came together: "Look, where is the new recommendation?"

Lin Mao is excited to look through the app store: "Classified game recommendation! New tour boutique! Both recommendations are on!"

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

These two recommendations are good recommendations for new games. Classified game recommendations can bring a lot of players who like this type of game, while new tour recommendations will appeal to players who like to find new games.

At the same time, there are two recommendations, indicating that in the system score, "Storm Knight Adventure" has been listed as a key recommendation game, in the short term will inevitably usher in a wave of sales surge.

If you can continue to continue the previous high score, then this game will almost certainly get better recommendations, even on the home page recommendation is 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 the player's comments. There may be some competitors to discredit, have to be careful."

Lin Mao nodded: "Well, I know, this is just the second recommendation. It’s still early from the game."

The two people talked for a few more hours. By the way, they studied the new games in the same period and paid attention to the data of each game. In the evening, the experience store closed, and two people went to eat together for a night and night, after which Lin Mao left.

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