Almighty Game Designer

Chapter 69: Free games?

Views:

Qiu Bin didn't expect to have so many sales, why? Because the target users of this game highly overlap with "Plants vs. Zombies", and the loyal players of "Plants vs. Zombies" are all on Chen Mo's side!

If there is no betting agreement between the two sides, that's fine. Now that there is a betting agreement, even if these loyal players of "Plants vs. Zombies" want to play "Guardian of the Holy Spring", they will definitely not download it until the second month.

In this way, Qiu Bin naturally lost some players.

Fortunately, the channels of Emperor Interactive Entertainment are very powerful. Under the promotion of various recommendation positions, "Guardian of the Holy Spring" has dug up many players who do not play "Plants vs. Zombies". The data of "Guardian" is more than double that of "Plants vs. Zombies".

However, Qiu Bin still dare not say that he is sure to win, and has to see how Chen Mo's new game is.

Soon, Qiu Bin found Chen Mo's new game "My name is mt".

"Sure enough, I plan to use anime to promote it, but how about the gameplay? Can it really reproduce the huge world view in the anime?"

With some doubts, Qiu Bin clicked the [Download] button.

"Huh? No!"

Qiu Bin was stunned.

Because he found out that this game is actually free!

If it is a paid game, then this button should not be [Download], but should be [Buy].

Chen Mo wants to gamble with him for a month, and then make a free game? !

Qiu Bin was shocked, there is such an operation

The assistant asked, "What's the matter? Why are you so surprised?"

Qiu Bin had a pissed-off expression on his face: "Chen Mo's new game is a free game! Free game!"

The assistant was also stunned: "I can't? If he releases free games, well, then the number of downloads will go up, but he is betting on monthly turnover?"

Qiu Bin frowned and thought: "If the game is free, you can only rely on selling advertising space or selling value-added services. However, you can't make much money from this!"

The assistant stopped talking. In his opinion, this doesn't make any sense!

Qiu Bin looked at the phone screen inexplicably, but was stunned again.

After saying a few words, the game is ready

Qiu Bin clicked on it and saw that the game was only over 170 m, which is not much bigger than Plants vs. Zombies!

The art resources used in "Guardian of the Holy Spring" are all high-definition, and the entire game installation package has reached nearly 400m, which is much larger than "My name is mt".

Qiu Bin was shocked. With only 170m of resources, what did Chen Mo use to create the huge world view in the anime? Could it be that this is a baiting work

Feeling extremely puzzled, Qiu Bin clicked on the icon to start the game.

After "My name is mt" was launched, although it didn't have the recommended slots like the Emperor game platform, it received a lot of attention.

Veteran players of "Plants vs. Zombies", viewers of "My name is mt" animation, and people who are paying attention to this bet, all became the first batch of players of "My name is mt" mobile game.

Some of these people came for the word-of-mouth of Chen Mo's last game, some came for the huge story background of the "My name is mt" animation, and some came purely for novelty and fun.

As a result, these people also encountered the same doubts as Qiu Bin.

This game turned out to be a free game? !

This game is only 170m? !

Originally, a large number of players were hesitating whether to buy it or not, but it turned out that it was free, so why hesitate, download it and play first!

Anyway, the game is free, and the 170m doesn’t take up much space, so let’s talk about it after downloading it, and delete it if it’s not fun, anyway, there is no cost.

Chen Mo was not idle either. He advertised the mobile game "My name is mt" on Weibo and at the end of the latest episode of "My name is mt".

"The mobile game of the same name is launched! Fight side by side with MT and Shaman! It's completely free, without any built-in ads!"

Of course, this is all a publicity gimmick. In the previous life, most players would sneer at the word "free" and say, "Another money-losing game!"

But this world is different. Players are still very simple. When they saw "free" and said that there is no built-in advertisement, the players were shocked.

"Free? Doesn't cost money to download the game? No built-in ads? Then, how can you make money!"

"Value-added service!"

"How much value-added services can be sold for? Besides, isn't it up to the players to decide whether to buy value-added services? Why don't players buy them?"

"That's right, Chen Mo is still gambling with others, isn't this just playing to death?"

"Let's take a look first, it's free anyway."

After gambling on Weibo and warming up the animation, when the gimmick of "free" was thrown out, all the players were shocked.

Some people were worried that Chen Mo would lose the bet.

Some people couldn't figure out why Chen Mo wanted to do this kind of "public welfare undertaking" that seemed bound to lose money.

There are also some people who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement.

In this way, almost all the players and viewers who were paying attention to this matter chose to download the game to see what kind of free method Chen Mo said was "free".

Experience the store.

"Online for an hour, the number of downloads is nearly 4,000. More than three times higher than "Guardian of the Holy Spring", um, it's not bad."

Looking at the download data of "My name is mt", Chen Mo was basically satisfied.

In terms of downloads, free games definitely have a natural advantage. After all, even if players spend 10 yuan to buy a game, they will weigh it. Although refunds are available, it is troublesome and frustrating.

Free games are different, you can download and delete if you want, without any hesitation at all.

In terms of the download volume of free games, it is normal to exceed ten times the download volume of paid games under the same degree of publicity. But "Guardian of the Holy Spring" has the blessing of the Emperor game platform after all, and it is quite good to be able to stabilize the download volume that was only tripled by "My name is mt".

Su Jinyu, Wen Lingwei and others are also paying attention to the real-time data of the game.

Jia Peng said: "The download volume is so high, my God, this is higher than the download volume of games promoted by those big platforms."

Wen Lingwei said: "Nonsense, it's free, and it doesn't cost money to download, and it's only 170m in total. It only takes tens of seconds to download with a wireless network. The download volume must be high."

Chang Xiuya said: "Well, so the key is to see how many people deposit money."

Su Jinyu was also at the side, and she pointed at some data on Chen Mo's screen with some doubts: "Manager, what does this all mean?"

This is the management background specially made by Chen Mo. Usually, game announcements, game data adjustments, rune stone distribution, etc. are all carried out on this background.

On the [Data Query] page, there are several data, all of which are English abbreviations, such as dnu, dau, arpu, arppu, ltv and so on.

For others except Chen Mo, these English abbreviations are like a bible, and they can't guess what they mean.

Chen Mo said: "It's not easy to explain, you just need to know that as long as these figures meet the standard, this game can make money."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

real or fake? Is it so mysterious
