Chapter 156: Strike First? (6/17)
Soon, not only Imperial Entertainment, but also many companies that make card mobile games learned the news.
After all, Chen Mo didn't want to keep it secret at all, and this thing couldn't be kept secret, the original paintings of his cards were all handed over to a specialized art outsourcing company to do, how could he guarantee that this news would not flow out at all?
As long as this news spreads, it will soon spread in the mobile game circle, after all, Chen Mo is back to make mobile games, which is not good news for all card mobile game designers.
In fact, during the time that Chen Mo left the mobile game circle, other card and mobile game designers were still living quite nourishingly.
Strictly speaking, it is very moisturizing.
Because at present, the card mobile games in this world are in a state of "everyone earns money", unlike games with other themes that must fight to the death.
Like RPG games and BA games, competing products are incompatible, you have one more player, I have one less player, and it can be said that they are not in harmony with each other.
But card mobile games are different, especially in the early stage of market development, the entire card mobile game market is too big, so big that no one company can monopolize it, but it presents a peaceful and strange scene.
Because the gameplay of these card mobile games is too similar, these designers don't have the courage to overhaul the core gameplay, so they can only rack their brains to carve up the player base with IP.
You make a Japanese comic theme.,I'll make a hit.,Anyway, everyone eats their own food.,It doesn't affect each other.。
Even if there is an occasional crash, it doesn't matter, just stagger the online time a little.
Isn't it beautiful to lie down and make money together?
This has basically become an unspoken rule, these game companies don't want to monopolize the entire card mobile game market, but they can't swallow it at all, there is no such dominating card mobile game.
If you want to achieve this, you have to make sure that the gameplay of the game is completely ahead of other games of the period, and it also has a very large IP that can reach the widest possible player base.
In so many card mobile games, it can barely do the latter. A game that does both really doesn't.
However, Chen Mo's return directly muddied the water.
Many designers are talking about it in private.
"Have you heard, Chen Mo is going to make a card mobile game!"
"What? Is he going to make a sequel? It's unlikely, there isn't much anime popularity left now, how can so many die-hard fans buy it? ”
"No, I heard that it's a Japanese-style monster theme, but I don't know the specifics."
"What's it, this thing has an IP?"
"Nope!"
"I didn't do anything!"
"How do I know! Who could have guessed Chen Mo's thoughts? ”
"That feels like something is going to happen."
"Who said it wasn't, Chen Mo developed so well on the P-side game, and suddenly came back to the mobile game field, this is simply writing the words 'I'm going to you' on his face!"
"What then?"
"Look! What else can I do. Besides, when the sky falls, the tall people are on top, and the most affected must be the emperor's mutual entertainment. ”
"Let's see how the imperial dynasty reacts to each other."
……
Qiu Bin reported the information that Chen Mo was making a card mobile game to Lin Zhaoxu.
After a short period of thought, Lin Zhaoxu quickly made a decision.
Promote Now! Go live as fast as possible!
Lin Zhaoxu is not as forward-looking and hesitant as Qiu Bin, he knows too well what this information means.
This information means that once Chen Mo is ready, this new game is very likely to be another hit after it is launched, and it will be too unfavorable for Imperial Mutual Entertainment at that time!
As the saying goes, the first strike is the strongest, launch it, gather a group of players first, further expand the influence of this game through overwhelming publicity, and make enough money before Chen Mo's new game is launched.
At that time, even if Chen Mo's new game is very successful after it is launched, the impact on it will be reduced by a part.
After Lin Zhaoxu's statement, the progress was immediately accelerated.
Arrange publicity channels, seed user testing, feedback, feature modifications...... Qiu Bin is also busy, wanting to improve it to a level that can be launched in the shortest possible time!
Soon, the overwhelming publicity of Imperial Dynasty Mutual Entertainment also came, almost everywhere, all kinds of shìpín websites, game websites, major forums, advertising spaces......
Many game media also released articles to promote it as soon as possible.
Anyway, if you stuff enough money, these game media are also crazy touted, after all, the results are very good, and it is not too much to brag about it.
The people who eat melons have any reactions, but most of them are still looking forward to it, after all, it is a relatively successful card game, and the player base is still there.
As for the industry insiders in the mobile game industry, they basically understand that Imperial Dynasty Mutual Entertainment intends to make enough money before Chen Mo's new game is launched, and try to avoid the impact of Chen Mo's new game.
Everyone sighed with emotion, and Chen Mo had this power, which could make the emperor and the dynasty retreat from each other!
……
On Chen Mo's side, the progress is also catching up.
Shigami's line drawings, models, and original drawings of the scene have been coming out, the plot is also being done, and the combat system, numerical architecture, and gameplay are also being planned in an orderly manner.
The workload of this game itself is actually not too large, in Chen Mo's previous life, the original creative team was only 9 people, including programmers.
In fact, it's okay for Zheng Hongxi and Qian Kun, after all, this set of things in card mobile games is relatively mature, and there are really things that you can't get enough to ask Chen Mo.
The main difficulty is here for Su Jinyu, because this is an extremely art-intensive work, and Su Jinyu is responsible for controlling the art style of the entire game, and she is too busy.
Chen Mo is also busy, everything has to be controlled by himself, the line drafts of various gods have to be released, the plot synopsis has to be released, and the numerical structure has to be checked in the end, if there is no super accelerator, he is really too busy.
In fact, when he did it before, Chen Mo was already quite tired, and it would be busier than now, but after all, he was enthusiastic and energetic at that time, and in order to make a boutique game that can be recorded in the history of game development, Chen Mo didn't feel tired.
As a result, Chen Mo felt a little tired when he did it, mainly because the core gameplay was almost the same, and Chen Mo was not so enthusiastic about it.
"I'm going to have to go crazy recruiting after making this game, I can't go on like this."
Chen Mo originally wanted to maintain a small team, but when there are more people, the communication efficiency will decrease, and many things are inconvenient. But now it looks like he has to recruit people, and he can't do everything himself in the future.
……
was busy, Zheng Hongxi stumbled upon the propaganda given by the imperial court.
As a result, when I looked at this propaganda language, even if the propaganda was forgotten, why did I vaguely step on it?
Qian Kun said indignantly: "Store manager, what do you look at what these game media have written? Is it the first card mobile game in China? This is so decisive that I can't bear it! ”
Zheng Hongxi also said: "Yes, isn't this a completely skin-turning game? It's really as long as the channel is promoted, pigs can fly to the sky! ”
Su Jinyu said: "That's it, it's not good to follow the store manager!" ”
Chen Mo: "...... What is the attitude of the players? ”
Qian Kun said: "What attitude can you have, the people who are still there are die-hard fans, and they can't be scolded anymore." Now there are a lot of players, and I can't scold it. ”
Chen Mo said: "It's okay, let them go, anyway, the development progress is quite fast, everyone does their own things well, our game will be online for a month and a half at most than them, let them have a while." ”
Qian Kun hesitated a little: "But, store manager, there are so many users of the Imperial Dynasty game platform, is it really impossible for you to let him run 39 meters first......
Chen Mo smiled: "What are you worried about, what is the quality, you know it yourself, let's put it this way, whether it is any other card mobile game, it is only the share that is crushed." Play off? Inexistent. ”
