Chapter 238: Good Things Keep Happening
Throwing money to increase the playability of the game and lengthen the life cycle of the game seems to be a good idea, but in fact, it is just a way to do it.
I have to say that some mobile games are indeed very profitable, just like the free novice game of Stupid Bird Fly, which can earn tens of thousands of dollars a day, giving people the feeling that it is indeed too easy to make money!
However, the fact is that you can make a lot of money from any mobile game, and many mobile games may become popular even the creator would not have expected. And of all the new games that come out every year, only one percent of them are successful.
When it comes to making games,The most basic thing is money,Whether it's developing a 3A masterpiece,Or a mobile game,It takes a lot of money,It's just that the cost of the latter is only one-twentieth of the former,But the risk of mobile game failure is more than 20 times that of a 3A masterpiece,This is not alarmist,Mobile games have built a market of nearly 100 billion yuan,This is a miracle in the Internet era,But this market is extremely unstable,No one can say that the trend is stable,You can only rely on luck。
To be honest, if there is no vigorous publicity, Arthur can't guarantee that the stupid bird will really become popular, even if the game swept the world in the previous life, but after all, it was a bit inexplicable when it was popular.
Well, in the mobile game industry, it is a typical mobile game that is inexplicably popular, although it can be interpreted in various ways how much this game can capture the hearts of players, but how many games have become unpopular after the popularity has passed, Arthur knows very well that the development cost of a unique LI game like "Stupid Bird Flies First" is very small, it is just a small game to pass the time, and Arthur didn't plan to make much money from this, in order to make a name for himself as a studio.
Developing a game is always a risk, but the difference is that the PC and console sides that have been accumulated for decades are relatively controllable, while the mobile game risks are uncontrollable.
This is the status quo of the mobile game market, although the popular games are infinitely beautiful and continue to set various records, but they can't change the high elimination rate of mobile games, because these hits themselves are possible, because some small problems have led to the collapse of word-of-mouth, a large number of players have been lost, and the difficulty of "Stupid Bird Flying First" has caused some complaints, which also has to be paid attention to.
At the same time, the ultra-high elimination rate brings an ultra-high plagiarism rate, and the products that tend to be homogeneous make players lose their resistance, and eventually form a vicious cycle.
And Arthur's only advantage is to rely on the memory of his previous life to reduce the risk of failure of the game to be developed, but it does not mean that it is 100% successful.
Therefore, he never thought that as long as he moved the popular models from his previous life and made money lying down, he didn't save anything that should be spent on publicity, he should still brush the list, and he still had to use the water army to open the way.
Only in this way, can we push the probability of success to the highest level.
Hanging up Edward's phone, Arthur leaned back in the boss's chair in a comfortable mood, his fingers clicked on the desk table like a dance, making a clicking sound.
"Didi-"
At this moment, the mobile phone at hand rang a text message prompt tone, Arthur picked up the phone to check, saw the text message, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, showed a bright smile, quickly replied to the text message, and then found Angela's phone number and dialed out.
"Hey, Angela, come here, I've got something to tell you... ”
After a short call, I hung up, looking at the phone waiting for a reply to the text message, waiting for Angela's arrival.
"Knock-"
It didn't take long for the office door to be knocked on, and after getting Arthur's consent, Angela, who was dressed in a gray OL suit, pushed the door and walked in, I have to say that Angela is also a woman who lives a good life, and changes her professional clothes almost every day, always maintaining her professionalism and elegance.
"Sit-"
Arthur smiled and put away his phone, reached out and motioned for the chair opposite to Angela to sit down.
"Thank you. ”
"I'm asking you to come here to tell you that I'm leaving Bristol this afternoon and going back to Southampton, here at the power plant, and you can help me do it. Arthur didn't take a detour and said directly.
"Good owner, no problem. Angela didn't hesitate, she agreed directly, and didn't ask why, as a senior professional, especially a professional who has fallen into a trough, she has become more introverted, if the boss wants to let herself know, even if she doesn't ask, the boss will say, if the boss doesn't want to let you know, asking, it will only be boring and reduce your score.
"My Boleyn Manor has been published and will soon be on the shelves, so I rushed back and cooperated with the publisher to take a few promotional photos. ”
Sure enough, even if she didn't ask, the boss told her the reason, and Angela, who heard the news, was full of smiles and said: "Congratulations boss, this is really good news, I've been hearing about your book, but I can't read it, now it's okay, I can finally read it properly." ”
"Hehe, thank you, when I come back, I'll give you a signed copy. Arthur also smiled happily.
"Hehe, I'm going to buy a few more copies, get your autographs, and give them to my relatives and friends as precious gifts. Angela's beautiful eyes flickered and she smiled sweetly.
"Thank you for your support!" Arthur laughed, now he didn't need to care about the royalties from selling books, but he was still very happy to be flattered by his subordinates, at least it showed that the other party really took him seriously.
"So be it, I'll call Corinna over and talk to her, and I'll leave it to you here. ”
Angela smiled and nodded, watching as the young boss called Corinna, the current CEO of the Coast Power Plant, and it didn't take long for the other party to rush over, and after the three of them chatted in the office for a while, Angela and Corinna left the office together.
I cleaned up, put some important documents in my briefcase, and saved the contents of the newly created "Fifty Shades of Gray" on my computer in a USB stick and took it with me.
Standing in front of the desk, looking around, and making sure that nothing was left behind, Arthur sorted out his suit, picked up his briefcase, walked out of the office, explained his secretary, and walked into the elevator surrounded by two bodyguards.
Outside the office building of the Coast Power Plant, before getting into the car, Arthur glanced back at the signboard on the office building, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he didn't stay anymore and sat in the car.
At the same time, he was sitting in the spacious conference room, looking at the PPT in front of him seriously, listening to the person in charge explaining the common words and sentences in the translation of the Celestial Dynasty Xianxia culture.
A little embarrassed to look at the colleagues around her, and did not take out her mobile phone to check, she didn't need to look at it to know, who sent the text message, and continued to listen carefully, but the slightly raised corners of her mouth, the sweet smile on her pretty face, fully showed her inner joy.
Arthur, who had already taken the train back to Southampton, looked at the mobile phone in his hand, did not reply to the text message for a long time, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, for the pure not only the purity of the face, but also the very pure Jiang Lai, he still misses it very much, especially the sweet smile, like a fresh wind, the beautiful eyes of the crescent moon, very liao people.
Thinking of this, Arthur couldn't restrain the emotion in his heart at all, and thanked God, thanks to the gods and Buddhas, for giving him such a new life, giving him the opportunity and ability to realize those impossible fantasies in his previous life.
An hour later, Arthur and his party walked out of the Southampton train station, got into the car to pick him up, and went straight to the location of the "martial arts world" website, not that Arthur couldn't wait to see the beauty, but there was a meeting waiting for him, of course, after the meeting, it was a very beautiful thing to have afternoon tea with the beautiful woman.
