Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

Early the next morning, Chen Xu got up from bed.

The time agreed upon by the art outsourcing company had not arrived, so Chen Xu did not rush to rush him. Instead, he entered the corresponding text of the game through the editor. in.

Chen Xu glanced at his phone midway. The message was nothing, but the three people in the dormitory asked him why he didn't return to the dormitory.

Chen Xu didn't make any excuses for this, he just told the truth and said that he was developing a new game, so he was living outside for the time being.

It's not like he hasn't done this kind of thing before.

After transplanting the narration and lines from the game plot, three hours passed in an instant. After completing the last line, Chen Xu saw a pop-up window pop up in the lower right corner.

It contains materials sent by the art outsourcing company, and also expresses support for subsequent secondary modifications.

It's impossible to say that it's amazing. After all, with this money, how can you get any big impact?

But basically it was based on Chen Xu’s sketches and requirements.

A kind and kind sheep mother, a kind king before the battle, but after entering the battle, he holds a trident and is as majestic as the God of War, and there are two skeleton brothers, one tall and one short.

After making sure there is nothing to change.

Open the chat interface and reply to the other party that it’s no problem.

Chen Xu directly chose to accept the order, and then replaced the art resources with the template resources of the game itself through the editor.

After it was completed, Chen Xu reopened the game and tried it twice using the editor's quick function from the beginning.

Make sure that the kill line, peace line and normal line can all be triggered normally. If there is no such content as BUG, ​​directly choose to generate the file data package.

All that's left is game placement.

First up is the Game Council’s official platform.

Different from third-party channels, the official platform is a relatively fair platform. The lists and recommendations in it all have big data.

The exposure of the game basically follows big data, and there will be no cases of being ranked among the top.

There are quite a lot of players paying attention at the same time.

After all, unlike the previous life, the gaming industry in this world can be regarded as a major economic pillar.

The other is third-party channels, which are different from official channels. Third-party commissions are higher. At the same time, as long as you have money, the platform actually allows you to brush the rankings.

But there is also a good thing, that is, your game really has potential, and the platform will spare no effort to promote it.

As for why?

Because these channels charge high commissions.

The official commission is the default 30% after tax. After all, the game editor was developed by the Game Committee.

But for third-party channel providers, the usual commission is 50%. Even if a special promotion agreement is signed, the commission may reach a terrifying 90%.

Of course it’s 90% from the channel and 10% from the game designer, and that’s before tax.

If it's just for profit, there aren't really many choices.

Because when it comes to game pricing, including in-app purchases, you need to sign contracts with major platforms in addition to the official platform.

That is to say, you can only choose one third-party platform.

Unless it is completely free, without any in-app purchases, including making money through advertising and subsequent DLC, omni-channel can be achieved.

As for"Under the Legend", Chen Xu himself didn't think about making profits. What he focused on was accumulating enough players to achieve his goals.

And it cannot be said that there is no profit. After players experience the game and want to certify the game, they need to spend five yuan to certify the game.

This amount of money belongs exclusively to the game designer, and neither the official platform nor the third-party platform will take commissions.

Sitting in front of the computer, Chen Xu contacted the operators of major platforms one by one, and then uploaded the game.

By nightfall, there was already a lot of information in the private messages on Chen Xu's editor site.

Basically, it is the information that has been approved.

The editor is connected to the data of all major platforms, and you can directly see the data performance of your game on each platform.

Chen Xu immediately went in and took a look.

Unsurprisingly, the number of downloads on all platforms was zero.

Chen Xu has no doubts about whether"Under Legend" can be launched. The only thing he worries about is whether he can get the title of game designer before the mission time limit ends.

There are only seven days left until the end.

"Use the second week card!"

Chen Xu took a deep breath and prepared to use the card directly.

But then the prompt that appeared in the system surprised Chen Xu.

"Can you choose a certain progress to make players interested in playing the second game?"Looking at the explanation, Chen Xu couldn't help but show a hint of excitement.

This function of allowing players to choose the progress of the game made Chen Xu a little excited.

How can players discover the charm of"Under the Legend" as quickly as possible?

It's not just a matter of time. After finishing the game, I found that the little flower in the game was actually talking to you in front of the computer screen.

And the turning point was the Sheep Mother at the beginning!

The time limit is 24 hours, and the progress is locked at the point where the player leaves the Sheep Mother's castle.

Then I watched After taking a look at the balance in his bank card, Chen Xu thought for a while and opened the post bar, as well as some public accounts of game media. He found the business contact section and asked his friends about prices.

There may not be a way to achieve overwhelming advertising, but It can introduce some players' traffic in the early stage, and also allow the subsequent snowball effect to be triggered faster.

If you can't let go of your children, you can't trap the wolf!
