The most outstanding game this year, which attracted the most attention, is undoubtedly "fruit swordsman". As the main game that Andy hopes to promote with the help of his crazy mobile phone, it has occupied the first place in the list of downloads for a long time, and has almost become a necessary game for many crazy mobile phone users.
"Previously, the distribution of games depended on physical media, such as CD, which made game R & D companies have to rely on game distribution companies. Now we can eliminate the middleman link by selling the game in digital form. We can really maximize the benefits and believe that the company's profits will be greater in the future. "
Andy is very concerned about the fact that the total sales volume of my world has reached 80 million US dollars, but the net profit is more than 10 million US dollars. The key is that the cost of CD carrier and the profit of game distribution company should be divided into some parts, which is a little uncomfortable.
It's only two months since we saw "the fruit swordsman". The download volume of IOS system and Saipan system is the first. Although the sales volume of the crazy mobile phone is only over one million at present, nearly 90% of the mobile phones download the paid "fruit ninja" mobile game specially developed for the touch screen.
In two months, the crazy mobile phone of IOS system alone has brought the company nearly $3 million in profits. The profits of other versions are slightly worse. After all, the touch screen is not the mainstream setting, but it also has almost $1 million.
Such a simple mobile game can bring so much profit in just two months, and it is still bringing in a continuous stream, which has to be watched by other Silicon Valley companies when they see the news.
"Boss, our free version has found an advertiser through Miss Emily. At present, it can only bring us 10000 dollars per month." Blair said to Andy with a strange expression.
"Ha ha, there's no way to do this. They're all spoiled by free resources. They won't pay to download and buy games at all. However, the game needs to be Yan cut. First, seize the market."
Andy is also prepared for this. He doesn't do it for free. There will be all kinds of cracked versions on the Internet of China. It's better to add some advertisements. He can earn some money by buying some props. Although the profit is poor, it's still meat. Mosquito meat is meat. It's really helpless to make such a decision.
Then let the development team of "Temple Escape" show their work results. After a short run, the effect is very good. Andy is also satisfied, at least not worse than the previous version.
Because the most important 3D game engine has been solved, the next development work will be faster and smoother. The "extreme skiing" and "Super Monkey Ball" are also progressing very well.
To Andy's surprise, the development of "candy legend" has been completed. It's only one month since he put forward this plan, and he is ready to upload it to the app store and start selling it.
Well, although the program and screen of this game are relatively simple, the most important thing is that it takes a lot of effort to design the level. However, the development team of this candy legend also has a way. The development team of five people will take two hours every day to think about the level together and join the game if they want to. They even let this group of elites get 100 levels in one month And this kind of thinking collision still hasn't ended. Their goal is 1000 levels, full of ambition.
Andy is holding a beautiful picture in his hand. He is very satisfied with the colors and shapes of the birds on it, as well as the background pictures to be used in the game.
"Yes, it's really good. That's what I want."
From the company's many competitors to take over the "angry birds" project, sanildio finally relaxed. To be honest, all the project teams in the company are a little afraid of the young boss sitting on the main seat with a smile.
After all, my boss is so talented and evil. If you plan the game in such detail as your subordinates, it really means that you can't do it well.
"Boss, if you are satisfied, then we will officially start the project next step." Shannier breathed out a murky breath and said.
"Yes! Details, every detail should be Jing Jing, as the company's main game next year, I can't take over the rough manufacturing.
Blair, I think we should also hold a new product launch conference, invite our paid game users to take part in it, invite journalists to help publicize it, maybe we can sell tickets in the future. "
When they heard the boss's words, everyone also smiled, and they all thought of jobs who worked hard to promote their mobile phones. The so-called apple new product launch was just because jobs wanted to use his fame to promote product publicity, but the effect was really good. In this way, many technology companies also looked forward to this promotion mode.
"Ho Ho, boss, you are more charming than Steve jobs. After all, these games have great repercussions and influence in the market. In the press conference, besides the introduction of new products, the speaker is also the focus of everyone. After all, all the game players are curious about the boss, the creative director.Video game itself is the ninth art. The boss can give his own thoughts, soul and personality to the product just like the artist, so that the game is not only entertainment, but also has temperature and emotion. "
Blair is so satisfied with his current status and life. When he came to apply for the job, he would think that the company would develop into the current scale.
Other people in the meeting room also nodded their heads in succession, which made Andy shake his head and laugh, but his mood was very comfortable. He liked the feeling of control more and more. As expected, money and power were addictive!
"Although the mobile game is a gold mine just dug out, if you really want to deepen and enlarge the industry, the capital threshold will be higher and higher in the future. I will not transfer funds from the company. I hope you and I will work together to develop Mockingbird game company to a larger scale than EA giant companies. "
In fact, the game company has been on the track of rapid development. As long as the game itself has commercial value and attraction, the company's profits can be guaranteed. Andy is not short of money and will not draw blood from the company, which ensures that the game company has enough funds to develop new products and operations. Only in this way can the market value double and become the most dazzling star in the game industry.
At the end of the meeting, Andy didn't stop much after everyone left. Instead, he took his assistants and bodyguards through the corridor and turned to the other side of the building, the software application mall of freedom city.
In order to prevent apple from developing its own app trading platform, all the publicity fees allocated by Andy to the mall have been smashed out, and the effect is quite obvious. From the beginning, there are only a few app applications suitable for IOS system. Within one week after Apple released the app development package, it has increased to 500 apps. Although Jiucheng is a free app, free city app should The shopping mall has also established its unique position among the users of crazy mobile phones.
In the next few days, after spending on publicity, the number of software applications based on IOS system surged to 2500, and the cumulative download of mall exceeded 100 million times in the previous few days.
At that time, Andy specially asked Michael Wright to lead the whole company to hold a celebration party. Although he didn't arrive at the scene, he also sent greetings to all the staff via video link.
"Boss, the sales revenue of the first month of application software has all arrived, without any mistakes, and every programmer has got the money." Michael reports to the boss who is holding the data sheet.
"Well, it's done well. Although it's a bit troublesome, it's also the first time to build trust with developers in the first month. We must do a good job in service. Our platform is a service provider. Don't do that kind of shop bullying. From the very beginning, we should do a good job in service to attract these excellent software developers and individuals, even if Apple develops by itself Platform, but also as a latecomer and we just compete.
When we were in the city of freedom, we focused on service. Apple controlled the hardware, software and platform, which were totally a closed cycle system. It was inevitable that there would be a trick. Originally, jobs was ugly. Ha ha, with a group of vampire directors, I am looking forward to them breaking the contract to fight against the city of freedom. "
Andy's kind of data table, raised his head, his mouth with a smile of irony, his eyes flashed with cunning and bright light.
"Joe, I've prepared a big meal for you. I hope you don't provoke me!"
