Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

Regarding the mobile version of"Minecraft", players have actually been looking forward to it for a long time.

Although Chen Xu has not announced it to the public before.

But it is a gameplay mode of"Minecraft", and Chen Xu started from the mobile platform in his early days.

Therefore, many players believe that Fengyun Games will definitely launch a mobile version of"Minecraft" in the future.

And Chen Xu didn't let them wait long.

A week and a half after"Minecraft" was launched overseas, Chen Xu announced the launch of the mobile version of"Minecraft".

As for the selling price, many players cheered.

Because the mobile version of"Minecraft" is priced at only 6 yuan, and if you already own the PC version of"Minecraft", you can get the mobile version of"Minecraft" for free.

At the same time, the mobile version of"Minecraft" can also be upgraded to the PC version of"Minecraft" by paying 32 yuan later.

To put it simply, it can actually be regarded as a free gift.

Because as long as you buy the PC platform, you can get the mobile platform for free.

If you also bought the mobile platform, if you want to play on the PC platform later, you can experience the PC platform by paying the price difference.

And Chen Xu also did this intentionally.

If we really have to set a new price, for example, the mobile game version sells for more than ten yuan, Chen Xu believes that there will definitely be about two to three million sales in the end.

But what Chen Xu hopes more is that"Minecraft" will promote the gaming platform.

And up to now, it doesn't make much sense to Chen Xu to continue to pick up a piece of"Minecraft" players.

For Chen Xu, building a reputation for Fengyun Games is more important.

This strategy is simply a conscience for countless players.

At the same time, the first-day download volume of"Minecraft" in China directly reached 7.3 million downloads.

Such a data directly broke a record for mobile game downloads.

Even if it is partly free,"Minecraft" itself is extremely popular on the PC platform.

But such a sales performance has also confused all concerned designers in the gaming industry.

What surprised Chen Xu.

That is, despite the pricing,"Minecraft" can be downloaded for free as long as there is a PC platform.

But on the first day, paid sales of"Minecraft" still reached 290,000.

Although it is speculated that there may be players who have not experienced it, after all, there were many"Minecraft" players in the previous life, and this was not the first time they played this game on the PC platform.

It is played on mobile phones and tablets.

But this number is still a bit beyond Chen Xu's expectations.

But then Chen Xu felt a little happy.

Because the price of"Minecraft" is set with this type of player in mind.

The greater the proportion of this type of players, the better it is for Chen Xu

………………

Within the Fengyun game.

On the third floor, Chen Xu completed the final test of a candidate, confirmed that the candidate passed, and notified the report of the time.

Chen Xu stretched, then came to the floor-to-ceiling window, lay down beautifully on the massage chair, and enjoyed the joy of fishing.

With the social environment, MOD environment and a mobile platform transplant on the"Minecraft" PC platform, it can be said that all the content of"Minecraft" has basically come to an end.

What follows is a long-term operation. For example, some fresh content may be added, or some fresh elements may be added to the game during the Spring Festival, Christmas, and Halloween.

And Chen Xu slowly updated some new buildings.

But these are relatively long-term operations.

There is no need for frequent content version updates.

Coupled with the company's operations, game operations, community maintenance, and close balancing of small values, these contents are basically different from before, and Chen Xu no longer needs to complete them himself.

So during this period of time, Chen Xu was quite happy.

I spent the whole day eating and drinking in the company, occasionally going to the experience store to show off my house-building skills to some new players, and beating up the players of"Warcraft".

It can be said that the whole person couldn't be more relaxed.

At the same time, Chen Xu also used up the system points he had accumulated before, which was quite satisfying.

Various numerical values ​​have also been greatly improved.

As for props, Chen Xu felt that he would not be short of memory potions for a long time anyway.

But what's more unusual is that there are no new props this time.

After feeling a little bit, Chen Xu also made statistics on his previous income.

《"Undertale" can be said to be ignored.

So far,"Soul Knight", which has really started, can still provide about 3 million yuan in turnover every month, and has almost 40 million yuan in revenue since its development.

《"Three Kingdoms" can be said to be very stable. The current monthly revenue is around 20 million yuan, and it has created about 70 million yuan in revenue since development.

《"The Coast of the Land" is currently the main revenue source of Fengyun Games. The current monthly revenue is stable at around 200 million, and it has provided approximately 800 million in revenue since its launch.

《"Warcraft" is used as a buyout system. The cumulative domestic and foreign sales volume is about 1.4 billion.

At the same time, the current revenue of"Minecraft" is around 800 million.

Apart from the daily operations of the company, there is also the RV he purchased privately.

Currently, there are about 2 billion yuan of funds on the books that can be mobilized.

It can be said that there is no shortage of funds.

Moreover, Fengyun Game Platform has almost completely established itself with the help of"Three Kingdoms","Land of the Land","Warcraft" and"Minecraft".

At the same time, the most critical point is that so far, Chen Xu has never gone through a channel other than the official platform.

Of course,"Undertale" does not count as a free game.

So next, Chen Xu already has a long-term plan.

Regarding the plan to completely allow Fengyun Games to take root in the gaming circle.

But before that, a period of research is needed.

Sleeping on the massage chair, Chen Xu was also thinking about the future of Fengyun Game in his mind.
