Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

"How expensive!"

Looking at the balance in the bank card, which only had a balance of more than 300 yuan, Chen Xu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

A self-media public account with 600,000 followers and a good reputation, and 7,000 soft articles for promotion, is just Sub-articles are not headlines.

Moreover, before advertising, additional review of game content is required to ensure that the game content is OK before accepting the advertisement.

Big data advertisements in game communities and forums use the three keywords of stand-alone, independent games, and RPG. , the minimum recharge amount is 10,000 yuan.

One click is 0.05 yuan, and 10,000 yuan is gone after 200,000 clicks.

The promotional images of the game are uploaded in the background, which are all unified templates.

After all, the advertising fee is only 10,000 yuan, so don’t expect much. Okay, it would be nice to let some players know that there is such a game.

Chen Xu sighed inwardly, left the hotel with his laptop, and took back the 300 yuan deposit from the front desk.

The balance on his body suddenly changed again It cost more than 600 yuan.

Let’s go back to school for a meal first. I won’t talk about other tastes, but in terms of affordability, there should be no place more affordable than the school cafeteria.

12 yuan, one meat and two vegetables. Soup, this is what you can only eat in school

………………

While Chen Xu was sighing, Li Ye was sitting in front of the computer in an office building in Magic City, looking at the game's official store interface, and couldn't help but be speechless.

"This advertisement for a meal is going to be lost again!"Shaking his head, Li Ye sighed.

If it happens next, he will also get a little commission.

Not a lot, but not a lot.

"What's wrong, Li Ye? This game doesn’t work?"The colleague next to me put down the keyboard and asked curiously.

"I don’t know because I haven’t tried it yet, but I feel like it’s not very good. I think I can’t pass 90% of it, because the game makers are ordinary individual gamers, and the game is free and has no threshold."Li Ye shook his head and explained.

Individual gamers, this is a more implicit term. Simply put, they are game producers who have not obtained the title of game designer.

"That's it!"Hearing Li Ye's words, the colleagues opposite also understood instantly.

They have encountered many such people in this industry, but their works are all uneven.

It is too difficult to be certified by 10,000 players. , even if it is free.

Because even if you are free, but you can get 10,000 certifications, this means that your game has the ability to make 10,000 players pay.

This is already very good.

So why take this path to become a game? Designers, which company is the most popular?

Because others have already proven their strength in the market.

It may not become a hit, but the games it launches will not be too bad, and the probability of failure is much smaller.

Taking the corporate route and various game design competitions can only prove that your game is professional enough, but whether players will buy it is another matter.

After all, there are also media reputation explosions in the gaming circle, but players do not buy it. game.

With this feeling, Li Ye started his daily work.

Download the game to the computer.

Then directly enter the game.

He did not read the introductions on the store interface.

The most intuitive thing is to experience the game. The quality is enough.

There is no LOGO at the beginning, but it goes directly to the game content screen.

This is not surprising, after all, this is an independent game.

But the subsequent screen made Li Ye a little interested. It was different from what he imagined. The crude production is a little different.

What appears on the screen is a yellowed portrait of a human child with an unclear face holding a spear.

And an animal image also standing without a face. Judging from the appearance, Does it look a bit like a rabbit, a dog, or a sheep?

Obviously this should be the original painting manuscript of the game, which is quite creative.

It doesn't look like a shoddy game, but I don't know the actual quality. At this time, Li Ye I also became a little more serious.

After entering the UI interface, the portraits began to turn pages, just like a comic strip.

At the same time, a simple electronic sound BGM sounded, simple but very flavorful

‘A long time ago, the earth was ruled by two races: humans and monsters’

‘One day, a war broke out between the two races’

‘After a long war, mankind has won. They used a magic spell to seal the monsters underground’

‘Many years have passed... Mount Ebert, 201X. Legend has it that those who climbed the mountain never came back. '

With the simple background introduction of the game, the game officially begins.

There was a black scene, and then the protagonist in the game woke up on the grass piled with yellow petals.
