Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

At 12 noon on Saturday, "Genki Knight" officially landed on major game stores, and the PC platform and mobile platform were launched simultaneously.

On the other hand, Tenghua's "City of Legends" was also launched at 12 noon.

However, unlike Genki Knight, the City of Legends is only available on PC.

With the launch of the two games, players who have already paid attention to the two games before will also download and purchase them immediately.

For now, "City of Legends" still occupies a relatively big advantage.

First of all, the platform, in addition to the official game platform, "City of Legends" has also landed on its own Tenghua's official channels.

As for his new work "Genki Knight", it is not that no channel providers have come to Chen Xu during this period, but the price offered makes Chen Xu a little unacceptable.

Tenghua has also looked for it, and they are responsible for promoting the conditions when they are prescribed, and then they will take a 60% commission before tax.

The conditions of several other domestic channel providers are also similar.

The lowest is only a 50% commission before tax.

Of course, in addition to taking a cut, what makes Chen Xu even more unacceptable is that basically every channel provider has the same regulation in the contract.

That is, make the right amount of changes to the game according to the channel requirements.

This is what Chen Xu is most unwilling to accept.

Take Genki Knight as an example, if you have signed such a contract.

The channel party's words can completely force Chen Xu and them to make changes to the content in "Genki Knight".

For a small game studio like Chen Xu at present, in the face of a channel provider of Tenghua's level, it can be said that he has no right to speak at all.

But fortunately, the game industry in this world is already very formal, and there is an official platform, which is just a closed-loop ecology.

But that's enough.

At a time when "Genki Knight" is constantly promoted.

In addition to the official game platform, the "City of Legends" on Youzifang's side also pulled up a banner recommendation advertisement in the Tenghua platform channel on the same day, which was the largest exposure to the game.

Unlike the original "Under the Legend", "City of Legends" adopts a buyout system.

The price of 30 yuan is normal.

It's the same as the previous triple-A masterpieces, which are generally priced at $49.9.

The same is basically the case in this world.

Among them, the price of ordinary niche independent games generally fluctuates between 1 yuan ~ 50 yuan.

For some of these mid-sized games, the pricing fluctuates between 100 and 200.

Triple-A standard games are around the price of 350, and for large-scale VR games, the price will be about doubled.

Of course, how much the game costs is still set by the manufacturer itself.

Unless it's too exaggerated.

Price, although there is no clear standard line, is basically a default rule.

"Senior Chen, "Genki Knight" is actually free!".

"Senior, can you really make money from the in-app purchase mode? There are no stats and guns sold in the game!".

"Yes, yes, seniors won't be unable to earn back the development costs!".

With the launch of "Genki Knight", in the rest area of Fengyun Game on the second floor of the villa.

Several students chattered with Chen Xu, who was sitting there playing "Genki Knight".

These are all players who came to Fengyun Game Office today to experience, and they are also a fan of Chen Xu.

In school, because of the previous achievements in "Under the Legend", he is also a little famous.

And on the special day when "Genki Knight" was launched today, they also came on purpose.

In addition, the competition for places is quite fierce, so they were lucky to roll in the group, and they won to get a place today.

After all, Chen Xu's office environment is so big at present, and he still has to work on weekdays, so it is impossible to engage in this kind of thing every day.

Several students present had some concerns after downloading the "Genki Knight" and playing the post-launch version.

Unlike unfamiliar game manufacturers, Chen Xu, as their senior, plus this time to test "Genki Knight", they also gave some opinions, some of which were also adopted into the game.

This also gives them a sense of involvement, so no matter what aspect they are, they also hope that "Genki Knight" can be successful.

"Small profits are quick turnover, in which characters and skins are equivalent to DLC content. Chen Xu smiled, but did not explain more.

After a previous market research and a period of testing, Chen Xu still has enough confidence in "Genki Knight".

Compared with the previous life, "Genki Knight" added a series of profit methods such as advertising, and there is another character that sells for more than ten yuan from the skin.

In terms of price, Chen Xu still lowered it a little, which is very close to the people.

It's not that Chen Xu doesn't want to make money, he just wants to take a better route with small profits and quick turnover, sometimes 9 yuan and 10 yuan, although there is only a dollar difference, but the feeling it brings to players is completely different.
