Almighty Game Designer Chapter 29: Have the potential for explosive games!

The official app store of 　　 is different from some other game channels. The 400 downloads in 24 hours seem to be very, very few, but in fact, this data is pretty good.

　　 Some other game channels, such as the Dichao game platform or the brand application stores of major mobile phone manufacturers, can buy their recommended places directly. If you want to swipe the list, you can just say hello to the platform. Brush it silently.

　　 So, on other game channels, as long as you are willing to spend money, it’s not surprising that you can get tens of thousands of downloads on the first day.

　　 However, the official app store refuses any scoring of the rankings. When new games are launched, they can only be found in an inconspicuous corner, like "Storm Rider Adventure", even if it’s a new game. Only a few people will download the rankings and new travel recommendations.

　　 However, the official app store will automatically adjust the recommendation position according to the data of the new game. For data such as "Storm Rider", the next recommendation is probably the new travel boutique or classified game recommendation. The download amount will be immediate Go up.

　　 If the next recommendation, the download volume and rating of "Storm Rider Adventure" can still be maintained at a good level, then the recommendation position will become even better. If this virtuous cycle continues, within one or two weeks Downloads can range from a few hundred to tens of thousands.

　　 Of course, this kind of "virtuous cycle" can only be achieved by a very small number of boutique games, and most ordinary games are discontinued due to the decline in data midway.

The official app store of 　　 is different from other platforms. It is divided into very little, only 20% of game revenue.

　　 As for tax deduction, it is relatively troublesome. The tax deduction method is different from Chen Mo's previous life, but it is not difficult to calculate. The transaction tax and income tax have been deducted about 30%.

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

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

　　 Although I only got half of it, it is already a big profit.

　　 Of course, sales are also affected by the price of the game. A game like Lin Mao is priced at 20 yuan, and it is relatively difficult to reach 100,000 downloads.

　　 However, even if the price is cheap, down to 10 yuan, there are not many games that have downloaded more than 100,000 in the entire app store.

　　This kind of game is basically a frequent visitor to various rankings, and the recommended position can only be reached by getting soft.

　　Many small transparent designer games have basically only a few thousand downloads. They have worked hard for half a year, earning a hundred thousand yuan, and have to bear various expenses and barely maintain food and clothing.

　　 Chen Mo said: "In one or two hours, the recommended position will be refreshed, right? See where you can climb by then."

　　 Lin Mao nodded: "Yes, I look at the game data over the same period. My game is still relatively optimistic. But that's not easy to say, 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 to a large extent. For Lin Mao, this game is not lacking in hard work, sincerity, and creativity. Now It depends on the player's acceptance.

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

　　 Lin Mao said: "Well, I hope it. By the way, is your game already playable? Let me see if I can give you some advice from another angle."

　　Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, you can play on a computer or on a mobile phone."

　　 Lin Mao was taken aback: "Still dual-ended? Your kid's ambition is not small! Then I use a mobile phone, I am used to using a mobile 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 attracted by this game.

　　"This game...very high degree of completion!"

　　 Lin Mao is a game designer, after all, he looks at the game from a different perspective from other players. He was surprised to find that the graphics, music, interface, gameplay, etc. of this game fit perfectly, and he couldn't even fault it!

　　 The novice guide is simple and clear, quick to get started, the level difficulty setting is reasonable, and the combat system is rich...

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

　　 "This... did you make this in three months?" Lin Mao looked at Chen Mo with an incredible face.

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

　　 Lin Mao kept nodding: "Awesome, I think it has the potential to become an explosive game! This quality has already crushed many games on the list. When do you plan to go online?"

　　Chen Mo said, "Tomorrow. I have collected some feedback from players in the past two days, and they are generally not bad. Some unreasonable places have also been modified and there is no major problem. After the launch, the player data will be more. , And then perform subsequent updates."

　　 Lin Mao said: "I think it's ok, your game is so much better than mine. I didn't expect it, you really got the hang of it, how come you suddenly become so amazing!"

　　Chen Mo smiled and said, "What's the matter. Besides, whether the game can be made depends not only on the quality but also on luck. I hope that both of our games will sell well."

　　 Lin Mao said: "Yes, I hope it will sell well, and then we can also be a company on the new tour list."

　　 In the past three days, nearly a hundred people have played "Plants vs. Zombies". Some of them are wild players in the Lu Yu experience store. Most of them are Wen Lingwei and Jia Peng. Pulled.

　　 After returning, these people spontaneously introduced the game to their roommates. As a result, Chen Mo's experience store received another group of players.

　　 Now Chen Mo’s experience shop has more than a dozen people every day~ IndoMTL.com~ is much more lively.

　　 Chen Mo and Lin Mao chatted for a while.

　　 "Huh? I'm recommended!" Lin Mao said in surprise.

　　Chen Mo came over: "Look, where is the new recommended spot?"

　　 Lin Mao searched the app store with excitement: "Classified game recommendation! New tour boutique! Both recommendations are on!"

　　 "It's awesome." Chen Mo smiled, "You are the rhythm of the fire."

　　 These two recommendations are both good recommendations for new games. Classified game recommendations can bring many players who like this type of game to the game, while the new tour boutique recommendations will attract those who like to find new games. Of players.

　　 posted two recommendations at the same time, indicating that in the system score, "Storm Rider's Adventure" has been listed as a key recommended game, and it will inevitably usher in a surge in sales in the short term.

　　If the previous high score can be continued, then this game will almost undoubtedly get better recommendations, and it is even possible to be recommended on the homepage.

　　 Lin Mao patted his chest: "Finally rest assured, the second recommendation is too important."

　　Chen Mo reminded: "Don't be careless, pay more attention to player comments. There may also be some competitors discrediting, so be careful."

　　 Lin Mao nodded: "Well, I know, this is just the second recommendation, it’s too early for the game to really catch on."

　　 The two chatted for a few more hours, and by the way, they researched the new games in the same period and paid attention to the data of each game. In the evening, when the experience store closed, the two went for a supper together, after which Lin Mao left.

　　 After all, he now needs to pay attention to various game data and player feedback at all times. It is the critical time. And Chen Mo had to prepare for the game to go live, neither of them had much time.
