Chapter 29

The official app store is different from some other game channels. 24-hour 400 downloads seem very few, but in fact, this data is pretty good.

Some other game channels, such as the Dichao game platform or the brand app store of major mobile phone manufacturers, can buy their recommended positions directly. If you brush the list, you can also brush it silently as long as you have said hello to the platform.

So, in other game channels, as long as you are willing to spend money, it's no surprise that the first day's download volume directly brushes tens of thousands of millions.

However, the official app store refuses to brush the list. The new game is online, and it can only be found in a humble corner. For example, storm Knight adventure, even if it is on the new travel list and recommended by new travel, only a few people will download it.

However, the official app store will automatically adjust the recommendation bits according to the data of new games, such as "Stormriders adventure". The next recommendation is probably the recommendation of new games or classified games, and the download volume will go up immediately.

If the next recommendation, the download volume and rating of Stormriders adventure can still be kept at a good level, then the recommended bits will become better. If this virtuous cycle continues, the download volume will be from several to tens of thousands in a week or two.

Of course, this kind of "virtuous circle" can only be achieved by a few excellent games. Most of the ordinary games break the recommendation in the middle because of the data decline.

The official app store is different from other platforms, with only 20% of the game revenue.

As for tax deduction, it's relatively troublesome. The way of tax deduction is different from Chen Mo's previous life, but it's not hard to calculate. Transaction tax and income tax are miscellaneous taxes, which are about 30% deducted.

Of course, the main tax deduction is the net profit, but the R & D cost of game designers is not as high as that of traditional enterprises, so the profit is high, and the tax deduction is also relatively hard.

If it's 100000 downloads, without discount, Lin Mao's income will be 2 million yuan. After deducting platform share and taxes, there will be 1.12 million yuan.

It's only half of it, but it's already a big profit.

Of course, the sales volume is also affected by the price of the game. For example, the price of Lin Mao's game is 20 yuan, so it is relatively difficult to achieve 100000 downloads.

However, even if the price is cheap, down to 10 yuan, the entire app store downloads less than 100000 games.

This kind of game is basically all the regular customers of all kinds of lists, and the recommended position can only be achieved by hand.

Many small transparent designers basically download thousands of games. They work hard for half a year and earn a hundred thousand. They also have to bear all kinds of expenses and barely maintain food and clothing.

Chen Mo said: "in another hour or two, it's time to refresh the recommendation? See where you can climb when you see it. "

Lin Mao nodded: "yes, I see the game data of the same period. My game is still optimistic. But it's hard to say. After all, we don't know the recommendation algorithm of the app store. "

It can be seen that Lin Mao is still a little nervous. This recommendation will largely affect the future fate of this game. For Lin Mao, there is no lack of effort, sincerity and creativity in this game. Now it depends on the acceptance of the players.

Chen Mo patted him on the shoulder: "don't worry, the quality of the game is here. What are you afraid of?"

Lin Mao said, "well, I hope so. By the way, can you play your game already? Let me see if I can give you some advice from another angle. "

Chen Mo nodded, "OK, you can play with a computer or a mobile phone."

Lin Mao was shocked: "or double ended? Your ambition is not small! Then I'll use my cell phone. I'm used to it. "

After the game is installed, Lin Mao clicks the icon on the screen to open "Plants vs. Zombies".

Lin Mao played for ten minutes and was soon attracted by the game.

"The game The completion is very high! "

Lin Mao, after all, is a game designer. He looks at the game from a different perspective than other players. He was surprised to find that the screen, music, interface, playing method and other aspects of the game were very consistent, and he could not even pick out any problems!

Novice guidance is simple and clear, quick to start, the difficulty setting is reasonable, and the combat system is rich

If someone tells Lin Mao that this is a top-selling game, he will not doubt it at all!

"Here You did it in three months? " Lin Mao looks at Chen Mo, his face is incredible.

Chen Mo nodded: "well, the idea has been conceived for a long time, how about it?"

Lin Mao kept nodding: "Niubi, I think it has the potential to become a blockbuster game! As far as this quality is concerned, it's already a game to crush many lists. When are you going to go online? "

"Tomorrow," said Chen mo. I have collected some player feedback in the past two days, which is generally pretty good. Some unreasonable places have also been modified. There is no big problem. After going online, there will be more player data and subsequent updates. "Lin Mao said, "I can see. You've done so much better than my game. I didn't expect that. You're really enlightened. How can you suddenly become so powerful!"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "what's the matter. Besides, the success of the game depends not only on quality, but also on luck. I hope both of our games will sell well. "

Lin Mao said, "yes, I hope we can both sell well, and then we can have a partner on the new tour list."

In the past three days, nearly 100 people have played "Plants vs. Zombies". The only other wild players in the experience shop are Wen Lingwei and Jia Peng. Most of them are brought by these people.

After returning, these people spontaneously introduced the game to their roommates, so that Chen Mo's experience store received another batch of players.

Now Chen Mo's experience shop can have more than ten people every day, much more lively.

Chen Mo and Lin Mao chat for a while.

"Well? The recommended position is swiped! " Lin Mao said pleasantly.

Chen Mo came up and said, "look, where is the new recommendation?"

Lin Mao is a little excited to search in the app store: "classified game recommendation! New travel products! Both recommendations are on! "

"It's so awesome." Chen Mo smiles, "you are the rhythm of fire."

These two recommendations are good recommendations for new games. Classified game recommendations can bring a lot of players who like this type of game to the game, while new game boutique recommendations will attract those who like to find new games.

At the same time, two recommendations show that "Stormriders adventure" has been listed as the key recommendation game in the system score, which is bound to usher in a wave of sales surge in the short term.

If we can continue the previous high score, there is almost no doubt that the game will get better recommendations, even on the home page recommendation is likely.

Lin Mao patted his chest: "at last, I feel relieved. The second recommendation is too critical."

Chen Mo reminded: "don't be careless, or pay more attention to player comments. There may also be some competitors who will be discredited. Be careful. "

Lin Mao nodded, "well, I know, this is just the second recommendation. It's still early for the game to catch fire."

They talked for a few hours, studied the new games of the same period and paid attention to the data of each game. In the evening, when the experience shop closed, the two went to have a snack together, and then Lin Mao left.

After all, he needs to pay close attention to all kinds of game data and player feedback, which is the key time. And Chen Mo also had to prepare for the game online, both of them didn't have much time.
