Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

Inside Tenghua's studio.

Along with the launch of"City of Legends", there is also an official game platform on Tenghua Game Platform.

You Zifang has been paying attention to the growth of its data.

With the recommendation of Tenghua channels, the game started to rise continuously after it was launched.

"City of Legend" itself is a buyout game, priced at 30 yuan.

It can be considered a low-cost production.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, a piece of data was sent to You Zifang's computer.

One-hour sales volume was 2,516, of which Tenghua’s platform channels accounted for the majority, with a total of 31 refunds.

After seeing this data, You Zifang couldn't help but smile.

The official platform requires players to experience it for two hours before they can evaluate it.

But Tenghua's channel platform does not have this restriction. As long as the game is purchased and it is in the inventory, it can be evaluated.

The praise rate is 79%, and a total of more than 200 people have evaluated it.

If it were a simple game, then this should actually be considered some low data.

But for"City of Legend", it's actually pretty good.

Because most of the people who gave low scores are players who are biased against"City of Legend".

Even if they buy the game, they won’t download it, just to increase their ratings.

You Zifang had already expected this, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. Anyway, the sales volume was still there.

Compared with the terrifying data of"Undertale", which has now reached 8 million people, and the praise rate remains at 98%, it is naturally incomparable.

But You Zifang didn’t expect anything to surpass"Under the Legend". Satisfactory sales would be enough.

Judging from the current sales volume of 2,516 in the first hour, it should not be difficult to exceed 20,000 sales on that day.

Considering that the sales of general game releases are concentrated in the previous week, the monthly sales volume of"City of Legend" should be around 400,000.

I took a look at the work group and saw that there were already a group of people following him.

"The performance of the old game"City of Legend" is pretty good. If the revenue exceeds 10 million, there should be less pressure."

"Is this your third game with a sales revenue of over 10 million? I feel like you can apply for a higher-level project budget within the company."

"sure! The game I am responsible for will also be launched next month, and I hope it will have a good start."

Looking at the conversation in the work group, You Zifang also showed a smile, and then made a voice in the work group

"It's not bad. As for projects at a higher level, it depends on whether they can pass the review."

A few people were chatting, and then someone suddenly sent a message

"By the way, Laoyou, you seem to be competing with that Chen Xu. This is his download data. He chose the free model, but even for free, the number of downloads is less than 30,000."

Seeing this news, You Zifang couldn't help but straighten up and quickly clicked in.

He had been paying attention to the situation in"City of Legends", but he didn't pay much attention to the news about"Vitality Knight" from Chen Xu.

After seeing the news, You Zifang Fang was stunned for a moment.

It would not be surprising if the game"Under Legend" was free. After all, Chen Xu was not a game designer at the time.

It was a routine operation to absorb traffic for free and then obtain certification..

But the second game adopts a free and in-app purchase model?

"Do you think being free can create a sign of success for the game? Are you thinking too much?"

He was stunned at first, but then You Zifang couldn't help but snorted in his heart.

In his opinion, why Chen Xu made this game free?

It was just because he felt that if he really wanted to fight for sales, he couldn't beat him with Tenghua channels.

So. Thinking of finding another way to create signs of success with a free entry plus in-app purchase model.

However, despite thinking this way, You Zi Fang is still ready to try it out.

Strategically, he despises the enemy, and tactically, he values ​​the enemy. This is still clear to You Zifang.

……………………

On the other hand, in Fengyun Game

"You Zifang has already posted an official blog, and the sales of"City of Legends" exceeded 2,000 in one hour."

In the office, Zhao Shan and others reported the latest news to Chen Xu.

Han Yue opened several domestic well-known game forum communities, which were refreshed every few seconds.

Wang Yong and Jincheng were watching the background. A detailed data.

At this time, several people were a little uneasy.

Although Chen Xu didn't say it, they were actually holding a breath in their hearts.

Especially Zhao Shan, who also participated in the detailed development of the game during this period, was thinking about It can give Tenghua a good beating.

But now, especially with the one-hour results of Tenghua's"City of Legends", everyone is a little uneasy.

After all,"City of Legends" is a buyout game game, and"Soul Knight" is a free game with in-app purchases.

So it is not unusual for the number of downloads to exceed that of Youzi Fang in one hour.

From the new game bestseller list, which summarizes revenue data, you can It's obvious

《"Legendary City" has been parachuted to the first position, while"Soul Knight" does not appear on the list at all.

Because this list only summarizes the top thirty games that have been online for no more than 2 months, and it is a statistic for all platforms.

Game sales in the three major channels including Tenghua will also be counted, so"City of Legends" was able to parachute to the first position.

Compared to Zhao Shan and Han Yue who were uneasy, Chen Xu was calm. too much.

The current data situation is not much different from what he had expected.

You must know that although"City of Legends" is not a large-scale game on Tenghua's side, it still accounts for some promotion proportions.

Especially the cover promotion on the channel homepage, this is considered a first-level recommendation, even if it is only for one day.

Coupled with Tenghua's huge size, this was already within Chen Xu's expectation.

"Let the bullet fly a little longer."

Looking at the four people who had some uneasy expressions, Chen Xu smiled and stood up, stretched, and then took out a bottle of soda from the freezer next to him.
