Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

Chapter 18



3A-level works, now with Chen Xu's ability, there is still a little bit of difference.

With no money and no people, it's almost impossible to make triple-A games.

Even if there is a game editor in this world, a game of that magnitude cannot be done by one or two people.

If you make it at a small cost, you also need to choose carefully.

For example, casual games such as "Three Kingdoms Killing" and "Bubble Hall", which focus on multiplayer experience, Chen Xu has not considered it at all now.

Why?

It's not how difficult it is to make a game.

In fact, this kind of small-cost game is really suitable for him.

But the key is that he doesn't have this user base, nor does he have the ability to put it.

If you want to do it, you can only rely on other game manufacturers, such as a large percentage of other manufacturers.

But make your own game, people eat meat and gnaw their own bones.

How embarrassing is this?

Uncompromising?

After this kind of game comes out, the big factories will use the player user resources and give you a high imitation in minutes.

And then you're gone.

Because of multiplayer games, the most important thing is the user base.

Fighting with other people's strengths with your own shortcomings is really a bit of an iron-headed baby.

However, when Chen Xu was thinking about these things, the game circle was completely exploded because of "Under the Legend".

The explosive growth of various data, although "Under the Legend" itself is not a paid game, in order to become a game designer as soon as possible, Chen Xu provided this game as a free game to players.

But also in the game, there are still certifications.

Each player needs to pay 5 yuan for authentication, and the 5 yuan will be fed back to the game maker, and the platform does not have any commission halfway.

For a week or so, the average player didn't feel much, but game practitioners and game designers were shocked by the game.

The number of verified players has reached 100,000 and counting.

It is important to know that this is a free-to-play game, and all certified players are acting spontaneously.

And according to the momentum of "Under the Legend", it is not impossible to achieve more than 200,000 player certifications in a month.

This means that in this game without any charging points, Chen Xu was able to earn nearly one million profits just by relying on the spontaneous support of players

Although as a game with stand-alone content, there will definitely be no additional income in the future, but this is enough of an exaggeration.

However, for these reactions from the outside world, Chen Xu did not have much fluctuation in his heart.

There is no problem with data analysis, according to Chen Xu's estimate, if it is a month, the income from millions of sales is actually not bad.

But the point is that this is not sustainable income, and in order to attract more traffic in the early days, "Under the Legend" is free.

It's all up to the player to support him.

This will lead to a subsequent income, which will definitely plummet, especially when the popularity of "Under the Legend" passes.

Chen Xu saw this very clearly.

So "Under the Legend" is more about bringing its own fame than profit.

What he wants to do now is to launch the next game as soon as possible while the name is still at its peak, and then turn fame into profit.

In the bedroom, Chen Xu is now alone, sitting in his seat, Chen Xu is flipping through some famous game forums and hot posts.

Learn more about the world of the game, as well as a situation for the player.

After a little look, Chen Xu also found some points.

That's a lot of kinds of games, all of which are very profitable.

But the same types that can bring a lot of profits, he can't touch yet.

For example, MOBA games.

It can be said that MOBA is an enduring game genre.

And there is no prototype of MOBA in this world at present, but it is the same as the games such as "Bubble Hall" and "Three Kingdoms" mentioned before.

There is not enough promotion money, there is also a user pool, the result of a rash launch, not to mention whether the players in the market can adapt to the new type of MOBA gameplay.

Even if you adapt to it, it is not a big hit, but a wedding dress for some other manufacturers.

Because of the game genre, there is not much difficulty in terms of development.

At present, Chen Xu's funds and resources are to launch this kind of game based on multiplayer battles.

There are only two final results, the first one is to be willing to accept the co-optation of other people's big factories, and people eat meat and drink soup.

The other is to be targeted to launch similar games, but other people's capital is stronger than him, and he can quickly make a name for himself.

Subsequently, the Matthew effect of the Internet was generated, and its market share was completely carved up.
