Chapter 150: It's Time to Reap
Early in the morning.
Experience the store.
Wen Lingwei yawned on the massage chair: "Unscrupulous store manager, when will the version of "My Name is MT" be updated again, I feel that the players of this game are almost lost." ”
Chen Mo was stunned: "Huh? What, you're still playing My Name is MT? ”
Jia Peng said: "Yes, I admire the perseverance of my senior sister, I have already abandoned the pit......"
Wen Lingwei glanced at him: "You non-chiefs can't experience the fun of this game." ”
Jia Peng: "......"
Wen Lingwei said: "Although the store manager's later "Warcraft" and "The Legend of Martial Arts" are both great, I always feel that it is not as fun as "My Name is MT" in the long run. ”
Qian Kun also came over: "Yes, store manager, you look at the games in the mobile game market now, card games are almost half of the country, and the basic architecture and numerical models are copied from "My name is MT", and the most annoying thing is that they are all selling very well!" ”
Jia Peng nodded: "Yes, at the beginning, there were still a lot of players to scold, but later there were more and more such games, and there were also many particularly well-made games, and "My Name is MT" was delayed in updating the version, and the players ran away. ”
Qian Kun said: "This can't be helped, the store manager is basically making new games, how can I have time to develop a new version of "My name is MT", at most it is to release a few new cards, expand the depth of values, it is normal for players to get tired of playing." ”
Wen Lingwei said: "It's a pity and I feel very angry, this model was obviously made by the store manager first, but they copied it so happily one by one, the key is that they also made a lot of money!" ”
Chen Mo smiled and asked: "Actually, the one who makes the most money is Emperor Dynasty Entertainment's "Demon Slayer", right, and now the monthly turnover is about 40 million?" ”
Qian Kun said: "40 million is less? That's a lot more than "My Name is MT" made at the time! ”
Jia Peng was also a little helpless: "This can't be helped, although "Demon Slayer" came out late, but the imperial mutual entertainment channels are powerful, and the art quality is good, the most important thing is that it is updated diligently, basically a new version every two weeks, "My name is MT" can't compare." ”
Chen Mo smiled: "Isn't it 40 million, it's still far away." ”
Qian Kun was surprised: "Huh? Store manager, your tone, 40 million is still far away? Sure enough, following the store manager is a long insight, and it will refresh my three views in various ways......"
Wen Lingwei also came to the spirit: "What do you mean?" What do you mean, the store manager, seems to be preparing to re-emerge and teach them how to behave? ”
Chen Mo Yile: "Hehe." Do you really think I'm quitting the mobile game market? Inexistent. It's time for them to recall the fear of being dominated by the game of Krypton. ”
Everyone: "Wow, is the store manager going back to the mobile game again?" That's great! ”
Su Jinyu held her forehead: "It's over, I'm going to develop a pit dad game again!" ”
……
It has been more than a year since "My Name is MT" was launched, and during this period, Chen Mo basically did not pay attention to the mobile game field anymore, and his main energy was focused on the PC side.
In particular, "Warcraft" took Chen Mo a lot of effort, basically it took half a year to develop it alone, plus the time for "Warcraft" to promote and develop "The Legend of Martial Arts", during this period, Chen Mo only occasionally took some time to update a few cards and open a few new chapters for "My name is MT", and the amount of updates was very small.
Of course, the players of "My Name is MT" also understand, but understanding is understanding, these players will slowly get tired of playing and then switch to 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 lower than before. Those who still insist on playing now are basically true love fans, and it has become a habit to go online every day to brush up on a daily basis.
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 best-selling list of mobile games, and four of the top 10 are card games.
Other designers aren't saying that it's exactly copying, especially for games from big companies like Demon Slayer, which have made improvements to the card game mode.
In terms of artistic expression, the representation of cards is becoming more and more diverse, the dynamics are getting cooler and cooler, and some games are even planning to turn cards into 2D character models.
At the same time, the designers are also constantly adding new ways to play the card game, and now the new card game has much richer game content than "My name is MT".
Moreover, card games such as "Demon Slayer" have recognized the importance of IP and newer versions. It is precisely because of these two points that the performance of "Demon Slayer" has continued to improve, and now it has occupied the first place in the best-selling list of mobile games all year round.
After all, after all this time, these designers have studied "My Name is MT" and have figured out the secret of this game's profitability.
What's more, card games are not difficult to do, for a large company like Imperial Dynasty Mutual Entertainment, it is effortless to make one in two or three months, and then modify it according to player feedback, and there is no difficulty in making a successful card game.
A lot of designers are snickering, especially the B-level 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 going to be launched soon? How is it, have you got the IP? ”
"I got it, it's a Japanese comic IP, not too famous, but it's not bad."
"If you have an IP, just look at it, the monthly turnover should not be less than five million, if it can be mixed with the recommended position of the imperial game platform, it is possible that the turnover will exceed 10 million."
"I'm talking about it, but the Imperial Dynasty game platform has too much, and it has to be divided into eighty percent, and I'm still thinking about it."
"What are you considering, there is an imperial game platform to promote you, and you can earn 20% of it!"
"Well, that's true, but it still hurts."
"Okay, what do you still hurt, this money is equivalent to lying down, 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, and those of us who were originally struggling on the food and clothing line have found a way out, and they have developed one by one. ”
"I really have to thank Chen Mo, he made "My name is MT", pointed out a clear 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, and the PC terminal game is also made into one, and he can't accept it. But that's fine, if he leaves the mobile game field, there will be no competition in our game. ”
"Yes, come on, when this game is earned, I plan to buy another IP of a popular novel, turn over a new card game, and make another profit!"
……
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 how to play and figure out the psychology of players, and the games they made could even hit the streets, which was very risky.
But now, with the card game as a weapon, these designers can make money as long as they get a good IP and then seriously copy the successful card games on the market.
Even if there is only 5 million monthly turnover, and then give 70% or 80% to the channel providers, these designers can actually get 7 or 800,000 yuan every month, which is enough for them to live a good life.
And those designers who can't buy good IPs are trying their best to create their own IPs or rub IPs, hype up topics and popularity, and work hard in aspects other than games.
There are also some designers who will make some adjustments to the gameplay, but mainly to add new gameplay, and basically no one dares to make major changes to the core gameplay of "My Name is MT".
After all, now as long as you copy it, you can make money lying down, and these designers don't have the motivation to make big changes at all.
What they don't know is that the reason why Chen Mo didn't continue to develop the Krypton mobile game after "My Name is MT" is 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, "Young Three Kingdoms" has a monthly turnover of 200 million, and "Dota Legend" has a monthly turnover of 300 million, each higher than the other.
It's not just the evolution of the gameplay that's behind this, it's also the reason why the player base is constantly expanding.
The more card games there are, the wider the player base of card games will be. Many players who don't play card games will be attracted by a certain IP and thus converted into card game players.
It's a long process, and when the card game player base expands to a large enough level, these card game innovations can burst out with incredible energy at the right time, in the right place, and with the right people and convergence.
For Chen Mo, he allowed other game companies to plagiarize "My Name is MT" and lay down to make money, and it was precisely because he hoped to use their hands to expand the player base of card games.
Now, the time is ripe to wield a scythe to harvest a wave of heads.
