Chapter 152: It's time to harvest

Views:

It was early in the morning.

Experience the store.

Wen Lingwei yawned on the massage chair: "Unscrupulous store manager, when will "My name is mt" be updated again, I feel that the players of this game are almost lost."

Chen Mo was taken aback: "Ah? Why, are you still playing "My name is mt"?"

Jia Peng said: "Yes, I really admire the perseverance of the senior sister, I have already given up the pit..."

Wen Lingwei glanced at him: "You non-chieftains will not appreciate the fun of this game."

Jia Peng: "..."

Wen Lingwei said: "Although "Warcraft" and "Legend of Wulin Heroes" released by the store manager later are great, I always feel that in the long run it is not as fun as "My name is mt."

Qian Kun also came over: "Yes, manager, look at the games in the mobile game market now, card games almost account for half of the country, and the basic structures and numerical models of each one are copied from "My name is mt." ", the most exasperating thing is that they are still selling well!"

Jia Peng nodded: "Yes, at the beginning there were a lot of players who scolded them. As a result, there are more and more games of this kind, and there are also many well-made games. "My name is mt" has not been updated for a long time. Players They all ran away."

Qian Kun said: "It can't be helped. The store manager is basically making new games. How can he have time to develop a new version for "My name is mt". At most, he will release a few new cards and expand the value. Depth, it’s normal for players to get tired of playing.”

Wen Lingwei said: "It's a pity and I'm very angry. This model was obviously created by the store manager first, but they copied it one by one so happily. The key is that they made a lot of money!"

Chen Mo smiled and asked, "Actually, the one that makes the most money is Emperor Interactive Entertainment's "Slaying the Devil". Now the monthly turnover is about 40 million?"

Qian Kun said: "40 million is still less? It's much more than "My name is mt" at the time!"

Jia Peng was also a little helpless: "There's nothing I can do about it. Although "Slaying the Devil" came out late, the channels of Emperor and Dynasty Interactive Entertainment are excellent, and the quality of the art is also good. The most important thing is that it updates diligently, basically every two weeks. The new version, "My name is mt" is incomparable."

Chen Mo smiled: "Isn't it just 40 million, it's still far away."

Qian Kun was surprised and said: "Ah? The store manager, with your tone, 40 million is still far away? Sure enough, following the store manager is gaining insight, and will refresh my three views in various ways..."

Wen Lingwei also came to her senses: "What do you mean? What do you mean by the store manager? It seems that you are going to come out of the arena again and teach them how to be human?"

Chen Mo said happily: "Hehe. Do you really think I have withdrawn from the mobile game market? It doesn't exist. It's time for them to recall the fear of being dominated by krypton gold games."

Everyone: "Wow, is the store manager going to return to mobile games again? That's great!"

Su Jinyu raised her forehead: "It's over, we're going to develop a cheating game again!"

It has been more than a year since "My name is mt" was launched. During this period, Chen Mo basically did not pay attention to the field of mobile games, and concentrated his energy on the PC side.

In particular, "Warcraft" took Chen Mo a lot of hard work. Basically, it took half a year for the research and development of "Warcraft". That is, I just occasionally take some time to update a few cards and open a few new chapters for "My name is mt", and the amount of updates is very small.

Of course, the players of "My name is mt" also understand, but understanding is nothing more than understanding. These players will gradually get tired of playing, and then switch to the embrace of other card games.

Up to now, the monthly turnover of "My name is mt" has basically dropped to about 3 million, and the number of active players is much less than before. Those who still insist on playing are basically true fans, and it has become a habit to go online every day to brush up their daily routines.

On the mobile game list, there have been many card games similar to "My name is mt", and they have even occupied half of the mobile game list.

Open the mobile game bestseller list, four of the top ten are card games.

Other designers are not saying to copy it completely, especially games from big companies like "Slaying the Devil", which have made improvements to the card game mode.

In terms of art performance, the card forms are becoming more and more diverse, and various dynamics are becoming more and more cool. Some games even plan to turn cards into 2D character models.

At the same time, designers are also constantly adding new gameplay to the card game. Now the new card game has more content than "My name is mt".

Moreover, the card games represented by "Slaying the Devil" have already realized the importance of IP and updated versions. It is precisely because of these two points that the performance of "Slaying the Devil" has continued to improve, and now it has occupied the first place in the best-selling mobile game list all year round.

After all, after such a long time, these designers have thoroughly researched "My name is mt", and they have figured out the secret of the game's profitability.

What's more, card games are not difficult to make. For a big company like Dynasty Interactive Entertainment, it is easy to make a game in two or three months, and then modify it according to player feedback. It is not difficult to make a successful card game. any difficulty.

Many designers are snickering, especially the b- and c-level designers of some big companies, who have made a lot of money from this card game during this time.

"I heard that your card game is about to go online? How about it, have you got an IP?"

"I got it. It's an IP from Riman. It's not too famous, but it's not bad."

"Just have an ip. Just look at it. The monthly turnover should not be less than five million. If you can get into the recommendation position of the Emperor game platform, it is possible for the turnover to exceed ten million."

"I'm talking about it, but the emperor game platform is asking too much, and they want to share 80% of it. I'm still thinking about it."

"What are you thinking about? If you have Emperor Game Platform to promote it for you, you can earn 20% of it!"

"Well, it's true to say so, but it still hurts."

"Okay, why are you still in pain? This money is equivalent to lying down and earning money. It's too late to steal fun! Speaking of which, we all have to thank Chen Mo, "My name is mt" has indeed created a new genre of mobile games Well, those of us were originally struggling on the food and clothing line, but now we have found a clear path, and we have developed one by one.”

"I really have to thank Chen Mo. He made "My name is mt", pointed out a way for us, and then he went to play PC games. What is this called? Do good deeds without leaving a name?"

"One thing to say, he is indeed a genius. PC games are also made one after another. If you don't accept it, you can't accept it. But that's good too. If he leaves the field of mobile games, our games won't have much competition."

"Yes, come on, when this game makes money, I plan to buy another IP of a popular novel, re-flip a card game, and make another fortune!"

For these designers, the appearance of "My name is mt" is indeed great news.

In the past, these B-level and C-level designers had to rack their brains to think about the gameplay and figure out the player's psychology. The game they made might hit the street, which was very risky.

But now, with the powerful weapon of card games, these designers can make money as long as they get a good IP and copy the successful card games on the market.

Even if there is only 5 million monthly turnover, and 70% to 80% is allocated to the channel dealers, these designers can actually get 700 to 800 thousand per month, which is enough for them to live happily.

And those designers who can't buy a good IP are racking their brains to create their own IP or rubbing IP, stir up topics, stir up popularity, and work hard on aspects other than games.

There are also some designers who will make some adjustments in the gameplay, but mainly to add new gameplay, basically no one dares to make major changes to the core gameplay of "My name is mt".

After all, you can make money just by copying, and these designers don't have the motivation to make major changes. If the changes are not good and the game doesn't make money, wouldn't it be a big loss

What they didn't know was that the reason why Chen Mo didn't continue to develop Krypton Gold mobile games after "My name is mt" was because he was waiting.

The card game market is expanding step by step. Like the domestic card mobile games in the previous life, "My name is mt" has a monthly turnover of 55 million, "Three Kingdoms" has a monthly turnover of 200 million, and "Legend of Dota" has a monthly turnover of 300 million. taller than one.

Behind this is not only the evolution of gameplay, but also the reason for the continuous expansion of the player base.

The more card games there are, the wider the player base for card games will be. Many players who didn't play card games before will be attracted by a certain IP, thus turning into card game players.

This is a relatively long process. When the group of card game players expands to a large enough level, the innovative works of these card games can explode with incredible energy under the premise of the right time, place and people and gathering.

As far as Chen Mo was concerned, he allowed other game companies to copy "My name is mt" to make money lying down, and he hoped to use their hands to expand the player base of card games.

Now, the time has come to harvest a wave of heads with a scythe.
