Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

Chapter 53

《"Soul Knight" occupied the top spot on the new game bestseller list. It took about a month after it topped the list before slowly declining under the impact of several new games.

The number of downloads of the entire game has already exceeded 10 million, reaching a terrifying figure of 14 million.

Although there is a huge advantage of free threshold, when the magnitude reaches a certain level, it can already cause a qualitative change.

As for the popularity of"Soul Knight", the game circle is also constantly analyzing it.

This unique mode can be said to be as subversive as the previous"Under Legend".

Thanks to the great success of"Soul Knight", although many media and players who watch the excitement are not too big a deal, they are secretly making trouble.

But there was basically no movement from Tenghua's side.

The other party was silent, so Chen Xu naturally wouldn't do anything idle.

Of course, Chen Xu has done this by accepting exclusive interviews with some game media and brushing up on his face and presence.

………………

In the conference room of Tenghua Games

You Zifang put down the phone in his hand, with no expression on his face.

In front of him is Lin Jiayi

"What do you think of the game"Soul Knight"?"Lin Jiayi looked at You Zifang.

"Very excellent, unique random mode gameplay, and Chen Xu’s focus is very clear. Although this game is dual-platform, its automatic aiming settings and detailed game time rhythm can be seen that the essence is For mobile platforms."

You Zifang said truthfully.

Although he didn't want to praise someone who had conflicts with him or even embarrassed him.

But as a game designer, he had to admit that this was indeed an excellent game.

"good. Lin Jiayi nodded slightly.

"《The total first-month revenue of"Soul Knight" was about 28 million."Lin Jiayi looked at You Zifang and continued.

Although Chen Xu did not announce the corresponding situation to the outside world, and Fengyun Games is not a listed company, so there is no need to produce financial reports.

But Tenghua, as one of the three major channel providers in China, , naturally also has its own information channel

"Just like"Under Legend", this random gameplay has been tested internally, and its suitability is limited to small and medium-cost games, and we are Tenghua! Last month, the VR"Great Wilderness" developed by Chen Xing achieved sales of 1.5 million on the day it was launched, with daily revenue reaching nearly 500 million."Lin Jia held her chin with both hands and looked straight at You Zi Fang.

"Sometimes we look further ahead. A new department will be established next month. In addition, the Game Committee will also have a new theme support plan. Regarding the Three Kingdoms, you should do a good job then."

Youzi Fang was slightly startled.

"Okay, go ahead, temporary success or failure is nothing. Lin Jiayi picked up the tea in her hand and gave a hint.

"I see."You Zifang's mood was a little complicated, but he was more excited.

Looking at You Zifang leaving, Lin Jiayi in the office nodded lightly.

He still valued You Zifang very much.

And the other party was also very excited. A game person that Hua is planning to support in recent years.

It’s just a pity that he couldn’t take Chen Xu under his wing. I have to say that the other person is really a genius in the game industry.

"Undertale" and"Vitality Knight" are considered to be already in the industry. They have achieved a huge reputation.

Looking at the cell phone still playing"Soul Knight" on the table, Lin Jiayi felt a little regretful.

But it was just a regret.

This is the confidence of their Tenghua, one of the three giants in the industry.!

…………………………

Chen Xu didn't know anything about Tenghua's internal affairs, but even if he knew, he would just laugh it off.

Tenghua is indeed very strong, but it is not a dominant player in the gaming industry.

Otherwise, there would not be the success of"Undertale" and"Soul Knight".

Compared with Tenghua, Chen Xu has more important things now.

In the experience area on the second floor, a group of people holding mobile phones in their hands are gathering together to experience the content of the game.

"What do you think of the new version?"Chen Xu took Zhao Shan and asked them.

He gave some feedback on the game content and compared it with the player feedback collected by the customer service.

Chen Xu would spend one or two hours every day to focus on this aspect.

For a For a game designer, instant feedback from users on the game is still very important.

"The new version of endless mode feels very challenging!"

"Senior, I feel that a subdivided ranking list can be added to the game, such as endless levels for each profession. After all, some specific professions are very dominant."

Everyone was busy discussing.

Listening to the conversation, Zhao Shan next to her carefully wrote down various feedbacks.

Chen Xu, on the other hand, could not see any fluctuations in his expression.

This was considered a small test for Zhao Shan.

Because some of the points mentioned by players can be optimized.

And some optimizations will have the opposite effect.

Things put forward by players are often subjective and only represent the thoughts of that player.

But the game faces But not a certain player.

So it is necessary to make some trade-offs.

There are some things that can be absorbed, and there are some things that can only be said to be listened to.

This is also what a mature game designer has to do.

Listen. Players’ opinions, absorb players’ opinions, but cannot be led by the players’ opinions.
