The official app store is different from some other game channels, and 400 downloads in 24 hours may seem very, very small, but in fact, this data is not bad.

Some other game channels, such as the Imperial Dynasty game platform or the brand app stores of major mobile phone manufacturers, their recommended positions can be bought directly with money, and as long as you have greeted the platform, you can also silently brush it.

Therefore, on other game channels, as long as you are willing to spend money, it is not surprising that the number of downloads on the first day will directly reach tens of thousands.

However, the official app store refuses to brush any lists, and new games can only be launched in an inconspicuous corner waiting to be found out, like "Storm Knight Adventure", even if it is on the new game list and recommended new games, only a few people will download it.

However, the official app store will automatically adjust the recommendation position according to the data of the new game, such as "Storm Knight Adventure", the next recommendation will probably be the recommendation of the new game boutique or classified game, and the number of downloads will go up all of a sudden.

If the next recommendation, the number of downloads and ratings of "Storm Knight's Adventure" can still be maintained at a good level, then the recommendation position will become even better, and if this virtuous cycle continues, the number of downloads can go from hundreds to tens of thousands in a week or two.

Of course, this kind of "virtuous circle" can only be achieved by a very small number of high-quality games, and most ordinary games are broken in the middle of the recommendation due to the decline in data.

The official app store is different from other platforms in that it only shares 20% of the game's revenue.

As for tax deduction, it is relatively troublesome, and the tax deduction method is different from Chen Mo's previous life, but it is not difficult to calculate. Transaction tax and income tax, all kinds of miscellaneous taxes are deducted about 30%.

Of course, the main tax deduction is the net profit deduction, but the R&D cost of game designers is not as high as that of traditional enterprises, so the profit is high, and the tax deduction is more ruthless.

If it is 100,000 downloads, without discounting, Lin Mao's income can be 2 million, and after deducting the platform share and various taxes, there can also be 1.12 million.

Although it is only half of it, it is already a big profit.

Of course, sales are also affected by the price of the game, like Lin Mao's game is priced at 20 yuan, and it is relatively difficult to reach 100,000 downloads.

However, even if the price is cheap, down to 10 yuan, there are not many games with more than 100,000 downloads in the entire app store.

This kind of game is basically a frequent visitor to various lists, and the recommendation position can only be achieved by getting a soft hand.

Many games of small transparent designers are basically only a few thousand downloads, working hard for half a year and earning more than 100,000 yuan, and they have to bear various expenses to barely maintain food and clothing.

Chen Mo said: "In another hour or two, you will refresh the recommendation position, right?" Let's see where we can climb when the time comes. ”

Lin Mao nodded: "Yes, I look at the game data for the same period, and my game is still relatively optimistic." But it's hard to say, after all, we don't know the recommendation algorithm of the app store. ”

It can be seen that Lin Mao is still a little nervous, this recommendation will basically affect the future fate of this game to a large extent, for Lin Mao, this game is hard-working, sincere, and creative, and now it depends on the player's acceptance.

Chen Mo patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, the quality of the game is here, what are you afraid of?" ”

Lin Mao said: "Well, I hope." By the way, is your game already playable? I'll see if I can give you some advice from a different perspective. ”

Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, you can play with a computer or a mobile phone." ”

Lin Mao was stunned: "Or double-ended?" Your kid is not too ambitious! Then I'm going to use my phone, I'm used to using my phone. ”

After installing the game, Lin Mao clicked on the icon on the screen to open "Plants vs. Zombies".

Lin Mao played for ten minutes and was quickly attracted by this game.

"This game...... The degree of completion is very high! ”

Lin Mao is a game designer after all, and he looks at the game from a different angle than other players. He was amazed to find that the game's graphics, music, interface, gameplay, etc., were so well matched that he couldn't even find any fault!

The beginner guide is simple and clear, the start is quick, the difficulty of the level is reasonable, and the combat system is rich......

If someone told Lin Mao now that this was a boutique game on the best-selling list, he wouldn't have the slightest doubt!

"This ...... You made this in three months? Lin Mao looked at Chen Mo, his face full of incredulity.

Chen Mo nodded: "Well, the idea has actually been conceived for a long time, how about it?" ”

Lin Mao couldn't stop nodding: "Awesome, I think it has the potential to become a popular game!" It's already a game that crushes many of the charts for this quality, when are you going to launch it? ”

Chen Mo said, "Tomorrow." In the past two days, I have collected some player feedback, and it is generally not bad, and some unreasonable places have also been modified, and there are no major problems. After the launch, there will be more player data, and then follow up the update. ”

Lin Mao said: "I think it's okay, you are much more powerful than me in this game, I really didn't expect it, you are really enlightened, why did you suddenly become so powerful!" ”

Chen Mo smiled: "What's this." Besides, whether the game can be successful or not depends not only on quality, but also on luck. Let's hope both of our games will sell well. ”

Lin Mao said: "Yes, I hope it can be a big seller, and when the time comes, we can also have a companion on the new travel list." ”

In the past three days, nearly 100 people have played "Plants vs. Zombies", and some of them are wild players from the Luyu Experience Store, most of whom were pulled by Wen Lingwei and Jia Peng.

These people spontaneously introduced the game to their roommates after they went back, and in this way, Chen Mo's experience store accepted another group of players.

Now Chen Mo's experience store can have more than ten people every day, which is much more lively.

Chen Mo and Lin Mao chatted for a while.

"Huh? The recommended bit is brushed! Lin Mao said in surprise.

Chen Mo leaned over: "Take a look, where is the new recommended position?" ”

Lin Mao rummaged in the app store with some excitement: "Category game recommendation!" New Tour Boutique! Both recommendations are on! ”

"That's awesome." Chen Mo smiled, "You are the rhythm of fire." ”

These two recommendations are not bad recommendations for new games, categorized game recommendations can bring a lot of players who like this game genre to the game, and new game boutique recommendations will attract players who like to find new games.

At the same time, there are two recommendations, indicating that in the system rating, "Storm Knight Adventure" has been listed as a key recommended game, and it will inevitably usher in a wave of sales skyrocketing in the short term.

If the previous high ratings can be continued, there is almost no doubt that the game will receive better recommendations, and even be featured on the front page.

Lin Mao patted his chest: "I'm finally relieved, the second recommendation is too critical." ”

Chen Mo reminded: "Don't be careless, you still have to pay more attention to player comments." There may also be some competitors smearing, so you have to be careful. ”

Lin Mao nodded: "Well, I know, this is just the second recommendation, and it's still early before the game really catches fire." ”

The two of them chatted for a few more hours, and by the way, they studied the new games of the same period together, and paid attention to the data of each game. In the evening, when the experience store was closed, the two of them went to have a supper together, and then Lin Mao left.

After all, he now needs to keep an eye on all the game data and player feedback, and it's a critical time. And Chen Mo also has to prepare for the launch of the game, and the two of them don't have much time.
