Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

The seventh day after the game was launched.

Not only the various gaming media were shocked, but also Tenghua’s internal game designers including You Zifang.

Looking at the relevant data file about"Soul Knight" compiled by his subordinates in front of him, You Zifang has not yet recovered.

On the day the game was launched, at the last moment of"Soul Knight", a reversal of the offensive took the top spot on the new game's best-selling list from"City of Legends".

Until now, it has firmly held the number one position without wavering at all.

Although Fengyun Games has not announced the overall revenue status of"Soul Knight".

But it can still be judged through some data.

Currently,"Soul Knight" has been downloaded nearly 8 million times across all platforms.

And yesterday, a well-known studio in the industry launched a new game.

Sales on the first day were around 17,000.

But it is still ranked second, which means that one week after Fengyun Games'"Soul Knight" was launched, the daily revenue on that day still exceeded 600,000.

As for much, it is unknown.

What's even more terrifying is that the rating of"Soul Knight" still remains at a very high level.

With the addition of players, the current rating of"Soul Knight" has been raised to 9.3.

But it can still be said to be an extremely high score

"how so! How can this be?"

Although it's a done deal, You Zifang still feels a little unbelievable and speechless.

In fact, he doesn't look down on"Vitality Knight".

But the key is that this situation is too fierce.

You must know the reason why he The reason for being so confident is because Tenghua has a channel for promotion.

And the facts have proved one thing, that is, Tenghua's promotion channel has indeed given it an advantage. It occupied the top spot in the new game sales list as soon as it went online. , and"Soul Knight", which was launched at the same time, didn't even touch the tail.

But the key is that after one night,"Soul Knight" came from behind?

Who can explain this?

Especially the terrible performance of the follow-up"Soul Knight".

Making millions of dollars a day, what kind of concept is this number?

For a new game designer, this is definitely an incredible achievement.

Especially since Chen Xu had a game"Under the Legend" as a base before this..

This makes one thing clear to the game industry.

That is, Chen Xu is definitely not a flash-in-the-pan game designer.

If only one game,"Under the Legend", succeeds, and"Vitality Knight" fails, that can explain a lot. One thing is that the success of"Under Legend" may be due to Chen Xu's talent, inspiration and luck.

Even Chen Xu cannot continue to produce a second"Under Legend" in the follow-up.

But" Under Legend" The success of"Soul Knight", especially its commercial success, can be said to have a completely different meaning for Fengyun Games.

Therefore, major game manufacturers are also flocking here waving checks.

"Mr. Chen, Yilong has said that it will acquire our studio with a valuation of 500 million. I want to talk to Mr. Chen."

Han Yue's expression in the hall was a little numb, and he said to Chen Xu who was sitting in front of the computer. Zhao Shan, Jincheng, and Wang Yong next to him stopped what they were doing and listened to what Chen Xu gave. The answer.

They have also been worried these days.

Ever since"Soul Knight" became popular, it can be said that there is one call a day.

Basically it is the same thing, not only Yilong, including Tenghua and Interactive Entertainment, They all want to recruit Fengyun Games under their banner.

The price offered has also risen from the initial valuation of 200 million to the current 500 million

"If there is similar news, please reject it directly."Chen Xu said nonchalantly.

Not to mention 500 million, even if it increased ten times, he would not have any emotional fluctuations.

Because these game manufacturers are not stupid, and what they bought for 500 million is not"Vitality Knight" or the current situation. Game products.

So far, what products does Fengyun Games have?

《"Undertale" and"Soul Knight", then what?

Gone.

Therefore, these game manufacturers can be said to be drunkards who care not about the wine, but about themselves.

To pay so much money for the acquisition, Chen Xu must have worked at Fengyun Games for how many years.

To put it simply, it is an alternative way to join several major manufacturers. Chen Xu will naturally not agree to such a request.

"In addition, regarding channel cooperation, the main issue is autonomy."Chen Xu thought of something, and then gave Han Yue instructions.

《At present, Chen Xu doesn't really care about the login or non-login channels of"Vitality Knight".

Now that"Soul Knight" has shown its strength, the conditions offered by the other party are naturally different from when it first entered the channel.

If the conditions are met, it is naturally best to be able to log in.

After all, the login channel will definitely improve the profitability of the game.

For example, in the previous life, why did Coca-Cola have a budget of more than 4 billion US dollars in advertising investment every year when it was already a well-known beverage brand?

The same goes for games. More channels and promotions can still improve the level of the game.

But compared to these increased incomes, what Chen Xu values ​​​​more is the autonomy of his own game.

If someone has to choke you if you go to a channel, then it doesn’t matter if you don’t go to this channel.

After all, relying on the official game platform can bring enough traffic, at least for the current Fengyun Games, it is enough for the time being.
