Match-3 games are basic.

As we all know, the more basic things are, the harder it is to innovate because the ceiling is locked.

There are so many match-3 games on the market, excluding all kinds of bells and whistles and gameplay, how can the match-3 games made by Tianba Studio break out of the encirclement?

Are you more handsome than others?

The essence of a game is to be fun, and only a fun game can attract and retain players.

But the core of match-3 games is the same for everyone, and the playability and gameplay are also common, and there is no so-called difference at all......

Unless it's astringent!

But this is impossible, as a serious game producer, Tianba Studio is also a serious game studio, and it is unlikely to take this kind of shortcut and attract players by playing side balls.

"Speaking of which, Brother Ba, you didn't give a specific plan!"

Xiao Lu rolled his eyes and said: "Don't be astringent, I'm doing a match-3 mobile game, then I feel like it's better to have fun." ”

"Listen to me first......"

Chen Ba explained: "Didn't I say it! If our game wants to break out of the countless match-3 mobile games, we have to make a certain amount of innovation and differentiation. ”

What is the difference?

Of course, it is to give the game an exclusive "selling point" that other match-3 mobile games do not have, or can't do.

"Give me your phone!"

Chen Ba reached out to Xiao Lu to ask for his mobile phone, and Xiao Lu did not hesitate, and took out a Huazi Mate30 from his pocket and gave it to him.

"It's been a long time, hasn't it?"

"yes!"

Xiao Lu nodded: "My dad bought this mobile phone for me, it's been two or three years, I want to save money to buy a house, and I'm not willing to change to a new mobile phone." ”

"128G is full ......"

After glancing at the various APPs and memory usage installed on Xiao Lu's mobile phone, Chen Ba returned the mobile phone to him, and then asked, "Have you used the mobile phone junk cleaning software?" ”

"Used! There are duplicate files, installation packages, and cache files that you can clean up once in a while. After all, the memory of the mobile phone is small, and it is often occupied by various files. ”

"Good habits, it is recommended to keep them!"

Chen Ba said with a smile: "Regularly cleaning up the junk files in the mobile phone, this is one thing that many people will do, and it is also the reason why many cleaning apps have the highest number of downloads." ”

Cleanup APP?

Why do you say this?

Wrong...... After getting along for so long, Xiao Lu seemed to keep up with Brother Ba's thinking mode, and reacted: "Brother Ba, do you want to combine garbage cleaning with match-3?" ”

"That's right!"

Since he was guessed, Chen Ba did not hide it, and said the reason why he did it: "The number of downloads of garbage cleaning apps has always been very high, and there are also a group of loyal fans. ”

"If we can convert these people into players of our game, so that they can play the game while cleaning out the bloated junk files on their phones, then there will be no shortage of players."

"The eliminated squares, when the time comes, will be made into the Q version of the icons of various APPs, and the edge of infringement and non-infringement will be tested back and forth, which looks very similar but is not the original one."

"The merger and elimination of three WeChat icons can clear a part of the junk files cached in WeChat, and the merger and elimination of three album icons can clear the duplicate photo files in the album......"

Is that okay?

The first time Xiao Lu heard that someone cleaned up the junk files on his mobile phone and made it into a match-3 game for people to play.

The operation that could have been completed with a single click of "one-click cleanup" now requires playing the game and needs to play through the game to clean up.

Wouldn't that be more troublesome?

"If you treat this game as an ordinary mobile phone junk cleaning software, it does become more complicated and troublesome in terms of operation logic."

Chen Ba explained: "But this is a match-3 game, a game to pass the time! Isn't it a double win to clean up junk files on your phone during the game? ”

Play games and clean up junk!

When two things are done together, and it's mainly about "playing games", it's less of a hassle, and even more convenient.

"Seems to make sense......

Xiao Lu was faintly persuaded by Brother Ba, but he quickly thought of another question, that is, is it difficult to achieve this?

"It's not that hard!"

Chen Ba smiled and shook his head.

Whether it's match-3 or garbage cleaning programs, all of them are relatively basic things, even if you don't need a system, Chen Ba can make a decent finished product.

The main thing is the speed of cleanup!

In the process of playing the game, every time the player eliminates a software block, the background will execute the garbage cleaning instruction to clean up the APP.

There are so many software in the mobile phone, and there are many file types involved in each software, which ones are junk files and which ones are not?

"Before entering the game, we will ask the player to check the types of junk files he wants to clean, such as useless installers, duplicate files, cache data, ......"

"This will reduce the scope of the cleanup a lot, but there will still be a problem, that is, the speed of retrieving files may not be able to keep up with the speed of the player to eliminate blocks."

Chen Ba's expression was a little embarrassed.

This is indeed a big problem, garbage cleaning software, generally will perform a search screening of local files, this process will last a few minutes if it is slow, and it will take more than ten or twenty seconds at the earliest.

However, when players play the game, they eliminate almost one block at a time, and sometimes trigger a combo, and they can eliminate more than a dozen blocks in a row in a few seconds.

In such a short period of time, how can junk cleaner software retrieve junk files and then quickly perform a "cleanup" operation?

"Huh! I can't do ......."

Seeing Brother Ba looking at him, Xiao Lu shook his head and said, "Screening junk files and performing cleanup operations so quickly eats up the CPU performance and memory read speed of the mobile phone." ”

The software is actually not difficult to write, but the problem is that the performance of the mobile phone chip and the memory read speed do not support such a fast response?

In the past, it took a second or two to kill a background program, and it was impossible to sift through junk files and get rid of this workload in a few tenths of a second.

"I know you can't, so I'm going to come myself!"

Chen Ba didn't embarrass Xiao Lu, in fact, he also knew that it had nothing to do with Xiao Lu.

This level of software and hardware collaboration, the software engineers of the three mobile phone giants of Huaguoxing are here, and they may not be able to achieve such extreme speed.

Actually, he couldn't do it either.

But he has a plug-in! You can turn to the system and use the underlying code provided by the system to achieve such extreme operations.

Within a second of the player's elimination of the block, find the junk file of the target software, then execute the cleanup command, and display it in the game status bar in real time.

Playing other match-3 games, after eliminating the squares, watching the game's score go up, all you get is a vague sense of achievement.

But playing the match-3 game of Tianba Studio, while eliminating blocks, while watching yourself clear a few more G of junk files, you will gain a greater sense of accomplishment and more actively eliminate blocks.

"Ding!"

Three package icons are eliminated.

[The 1.72G useless installation package file has been cleared for you! 】

"Ding ding~!"

Three WeChat icons are eliminated.

[12.14M WeChat cache garbage has been cleared for you! 】

Relying on the system's black technology, the size of the cleaned junk files is displayed in real time, and it appears in the form of "game score", which is different from other match-3 games.

"In the networked PK mode, the two sides no longer decide the winner by score, but to see who cleans up more junk files within the specified time!"

Chen Ba said with a smile: "In this way, the winning player will reflect, it turns out that there are so many junk files in my mobile phone?" Looks like it's going to have to be cleaned up a lot. ”

"Players who lose will not be discouraged, but will be glad that their mobile phone does not have many junk files, and laugh at the other party's mobile phone is a trash can, how can they clean up so much garbage?"

Whether you win or lose, you will always receive positive feedback.

Because even if you lose the PK, it's because your phone is healthy and you haven't accumulated so many junk files.

Looking at the opponent again, although he won the PK, it was not a good thing to clean up 10G junk files in one round.

"That's not right!"

"It's nothing to win or lose once or twice, but if the PK keeps losing because the phone is clean, it will also breed dissatisfaction, right?" Xiao Lu asked.

"You know what you mean......"

"So the mechanism I want to add is that after each round of PK, the player who wins the PK will be rewarded with an all-round cleanup."

Chen Ba said with a smile: "If you win the PK, you will be rewarded with an all-round cleanup." If you lose, the PK will remain as it is, so that there will be no constant wins or losses. ”

Lose a few games because junk files accumulate to a certain extent, and then you are bound to win.

In the same way, after winning a few games, because the phone is cleaned clean, it is natural to lose.

As for cheating, prepare a large pile of junk files to fill your phone before each PK...... That's tactics!

People came prepared, and they paid such a big price to win the PK, so it's nothing to win a game for him.

You can do the same!

But when the time comes, it will become the same environment as "The Emperor of the Starry Sky" to become an immortal.

See who has more memory and can stuff more junk files! Just 32G memory dares to be rampant? What about stuffing your phone with junk files?

Dude 512G RAM!

"I think no one should prepare dozens of G installation packages or junk files in advance in order to win a PK without rewards, which is outrageous."

Chen Ba shook his head.

PK has a reward, forget it, the problem is that there is no reward, what's the point of doing this?

Junk files below 50G, Tie Hanhan system is at ease. More than 50G cards in a few seconds at most, but just as fast as they are cleaned up.

Can be a full 50G of junk files, take the software game installation package as an example, how long does it take to download it? If you don't have WiFi data, how pitty is that?

To put it bluntly, you can't make it!

It's stupid to waste so much time, waste so much traffic, and cause the phone to become stuck, just to win a PK with no rewards.

The most important thing is......

If you cheat once, it's good to be able to win all the time, at least you can brush up the number of games and the win rate, and the win rate is also on the list!

But the problem is that if you win a PK phone, you will clean it up in all directions, and you have to do it every time, with this perseverance and perseverance, then it doesn't hurt to brush him with this winning rate.

"After tasting the sweetness once, I think everyone should keep this game and open it when they are bored."

Chen Ba smiled and said: "And this is what I want to achieve, to make this match-3 game a must-have." ”

"Yes, it's strong!"

Xiao Lu nodded and said: "While playing games, you can also clean up the junk files on your phone by the way, which is indeed qualified to become a must-have game for installation." ”

But here's the problem!

What is the name of such a match-3 game that is not only fun, but also can clean up the garbage on the mobile phone, and can also draw various characters to develop?

"Junk Elimination!"

Chen Ba said without thinking: "The main selling point is the two-in-one match-3 game and garbage cleanup, and the name is simple and easy to understand." ”

The game icon is made into a broom, which is highly consistent with many common phone cleaning software.

Silly, right?

Do you think this is a junk cleaner? In fact, it is a match-3 game, click on it to have a surprise!

Speaking of which, the basic framework of the entire game has come out.

The core is an extremely common match-3 game, but it incorporates the functions of junk cleaning software, and has a character development system, and it can also be played online!

That's all there is to the gameplay......

To put it bluntly, the main theme of "Garbage Elimination" is a companionship.

It is not necessary for players to be immersed in the game all the time, and it is normal not to even play once for ten days and a half months.

But when the phone runs out of memory, or becomes stuttered and unusable, everyone will think of the game "Junk Match", and then come in and play two.

That's enough!

On the mobile side, there are seven or eight billion users in China alone. With so many mobile phones, I don't expect everyone to use "Junk Match" to clean up the garbage on their phones.

Even if only one percent or one in 1,000 people use it, the number of users is an extremely staggering number under the base of seven or eight billion.

A must-have for installation!

Don't underestimate the gold content of these four words, all games or software that are related to these four words, which one is not hundreds of millions or even billions of downloads?

Chen Ba's expectations are not high.

As long as "Junk Match" can have a player base of more than 1 million, he is already very satisfied.

After all, one million players, according to the worst percentage of krypton, there are enough 10,000 krypton gold to draw characters, assuming that each player recharges an average of 10 yuan per month, the monthly turnover is 100,000.

Can I get my favorite character for 10 yuan?

No way!

And among these 10,000 people, there must also be a rich brother who is not bad for money, and he doesn't blink in the game Krypton 648.

Spread it evenly, millions of players, it is not too easy to recharge more than one million in a month.

This is still the most conservative estimate!

Anyone who understands the mobile game market knows that the proportion of krypton is not as low as 1%.

With millions of real players without water, it is possible to make millions or even tens of millions of dollars from a card pool, and the characters are a little more active, and even tens of millions.

What more bikes?

A match-3 game can achieve this flow, which can not only maintain the daily operation of Tianba Studio, but also sponsor Brother Ba to buy a house.

And is a million players a lot?

Maybe on PC and console, especially in single-player games, there are already a lot of millions of players. But in the mobile game industry, which onion is a million users?
