Recreation Starts From the Heartbeat - Chapter 382
in September.
Skyworld is still actively operating.
The online versions of Digging for Ascension, Cat Rio, and iwanna are also doing well.
In the game sections of “Steel Team”, “Temple Run”, and “Monument Valley”, there are also many interesting strategies.
At the same time, the official company of Sky Games has also started a new round of contribution activities for these games.
As for the prizes…
Then you have to ask a studio upstairs.
Of course, there are new products from Wang Dao Studio, which are provided by Wang Qingfeng for free. If he wants to take this opportunity to advertise, Tang Su will naturally not refuse.
…
“How many did you sell for that keyboard last time?”
Tang Su asked casually.
Wang Qingfeng didn’t answer, but looked at Tang Su with a strange look.
“What’s wrong?”
Tang Su wondered, what was wrong with the question he asked?
“I clearly sent it to you, didn’t you read the private message?”
Wang Qingfeng said quietly.
“Yes?”
Tang Su was a little surprised. He took out his mobile phone and opened the chat software. He patted his forehead: “I’m sorry, I set a private chat do-not-disturb for you, but I didn’t notice it.”
Wang Qingfeng: “…”
Is it okay to do not disturb private chat?
Why don’t you just block it?
In front of Wang Qingfeng, Tang Su opened it and glanced at it: “Unlimited pre-sale only sold 2,700 sets? You are a bit stretched.”
He frowned slightly, feeling that the sales were a bit mediocre.
Last month, over 10,000 sets of the three products were replenished at Honor Peripherals, and they were sold out soon.
As for Wangdao Studio’s products, less than 3,000 sets were sold after a week of pre-sale, which is a bit average.
“It’s already very good.”
Wang Qingfeng said with a blank face: “We have opened three rounds of pre-sale, and so far, we have sold more than 5,000 sets. In terms of sales volume, we have surpassed Wolf Map Company, and in terms of revenue, we have surpassed Wolf Map. He Tianzhi is second only to Strawberry Company… Among all the high-end new products recently launched in China, they can be ranked in the top five.”
He had long known that Tang Su would say this, so he was not surprised at all.
Moreover, Wang Qingfeng is still very satisfied with the achievements of his studio’s first mass-produced keyboard. The sales of 5,000 sets far exceeded his initial expectations.
“It sounds amazing.”
Tang Su nodded lightly, and then asked, “You came to see me this time, what’s the matter?”
He is very clear.
If there is nothing to do, Wang Qingfeng will most likely not come over to chat with him.
“A little.”
Wang Qingfeng nodded, then opened his handbag and took out a new keyboard that Tang Su had never seen before…
“This is our new product, the ace Q2…”
…
mid-September.
The official account of Sky Games released the latest news:
“It has been almost 50 days since “Temple Run”, “Steel Team” and “Monument Valley” were launched. The evaluation of the three games is no less than 9 points, and the revenue has exceeded 10 million. Thank you very much for always Support our friends…
This time, we bring you two new games-
“Kingdom Rush” is the fourth tower defense game under the company of Sky Games. After “Plants vs. Zombies”, “Defend the Carrot” and “Steel Team”, a new tower defense mobile game will be launched soon. If you feel If you are interested, you may wish to make an appointment in the ‘Sky World – Game Zone’.
“Happy Xiao Xiaole” is a new game that we bring to you. We name this gameplay as a casual game of elimination. This is the new game we are most confident in, and I believe it will not disappoint you. .
We will launch “Happy Xiaoxiao Le” and “Kingdom Defense” on October 1 and October 2 respectively, hoping to bring some joy to everyone during the National Day holiday…
Thank you again for your strong support for Cangqiong Games, we have prepared a little benefit for everyone: follow and forward this Weibo, you will participate in this lottery…”
new game!
And there are two online at the same time!
When players saw this Weibo, they were a little caught off guard.
“Is the new game made so soon?”
“Boss Tang’s efficiency during this period is a bit fierce. “Temple Run”, “Steel Team”, and “Monument Valley” have only been launched for less than two months, and the new game has been released.”
“A tower defense game again?”
“My God! What does Boss Tang do with so many tower defense games? There are four in a row, and I don’t know which one is the right one to play.”
“Indeed…there are a lot of tower defense games.”
“Last month’s three games felt quite niche, and this time “Kingdom Rush” is the same. It is estimated that it will be difficult to have the results of “Plants vs. Zombies” and “Defending Carrots”.”
“In all of Boss Tang’s games, the tower defense category seems to have better results, but the ones like “Temple Run” and “Monument Valley” feel quite niche, shouldn’t they only be building towers Anti-game?”
“Don’t say that, this “Happy Xiao Xiaole” feels quite interesting.”
“It’s alright, so, by the way, do you know what elimination games mean?”
“I don’t know, I haven’t heard of this category at all. It’s most likely that Boss Tang has researched it himself.”
“I don’t know if this game is fun or not, but the lottery is quite generous.”
“It has been forwarded, just wait for the winning.”
The players were talking about it.
…
at the same time.
Colleagues in the gaming industry also learned the news.
Their views are somewhat different from the players.
“It seems that the three games released last month are really not ideal. Otherwise, Tang Su should not have needed to release new games in such a hurry.”
“The market of tower defense mobile games has been drained by “Plants vs. Zombies” and “Defending Carrots”. Even “Steel Team” is not good enough. This “Kingdom Rush” will only be worse…”
“It turns out that genius is not omnipotent. Although Tang Su’s past games were very profitable, it does not prove that his new games are also very profitable.”
“The wings haven’t hardened yet, so I’m in a hurry to get out of the channel… tsk tsk tsk, originally I thought Cangqiong Games would become a big company in the future, but now it seems that sooner or later, Tang Su will go bankrupt.”
“The popularity of the three new games last month hasn’t passed yet, and it’s time to start making new games. Obviously, Tang Su is a little anxious and eager to make a popular game to maintain the ‘Sky World’. revenue.”
“Kingdom Rush is probably like that. I just don’t know what this so-called casual mobile game of elimination will be like.”
“Is it “Happy Xiao Xiaole”? There is no news about this game in advance. It is said to be a brand new gameplay… Let’s wait and see.”
“Tang Su guessed that he put his hope on “Happy Xiao Xiaole”. If this game can be popular, everything will be fine, if not…”
“I’m afraid it will be difficult. The competition in the mobile game market is too cruel. Even those top designers would not dare to say that their games will definitely be popular, let alone Tang Su.”
“The success of “Plants vs. Zombies”, “Defend the Carrot” and “Angry Birds” can only show that he is better at tower defense games, while the failure of “Monument Valley” and “Steel Team” It shows that he is not good at developing new markets…”
“What, let me ask you weakly, is it a failure for games such as “Monument Valley” and “Steel Team” that made tens of millions of dollars in the first month? How do I remember your new game, the first month of 1 million battalions? Didn’t get it?”
“Cough cough… Can I be the same as Tang Su? Can I compare to the kind of talented designers who are at the peak of their debut?”
“That’s right, for ordinary people like us, tens of millions of revenue in the first month is already very powerful, but for someone like Tang Su, tens of millions in the first month can be said to be very mediocre, at least for the first time. Only 30 million or even more than 50 million a month is worthy of his rank…”
…
Whether it is doubt or expectation.
Tang Su didn’t pay attention to some of the controversy on the Internet, and he didn’t have much time to surf the Internet recently.
Of the six new games that were prepared before, except for “Warm Love”, the other five games have all been completed or even launched. The development progress of “Warm Love” has also reached the late stage, and it is only a matter of time before it is completed.
Then…
It’s time to think about making a new game.
“Wait until “Happy Xiaoxiaole” and “Nursing Miracle” are launched, and then develop the online versions of “Plants vs. Zombies”, “Angry Birds”, and “Defend Radish”, and then just keep updating these The DLC of the game is good, and the game library of the sky world will be completely enough in a short time…”
Sitting in the office, Tang Su looked at the new game design file printed out in his hand, thinking in his heart: “Next, we no longer need to win by quantity, but to make a real ceiling-level game, preferably a mobile phone. You can play at the same time on the terminal, computer, and host at the same time…”
In Tang Su’s idea.
In the first half of next year, only one new game needs to be developed in this half year.
So—
After filtering many arrangements in his mind, his eyes stayed on the new game design draft in his hand, with four words written on it—
“my world”
…
Late September.
The promotion of “Kingdom Rush” and “Happy Xiao Xiaole” is not small, and it is not worse than the previous three games.
This made players, peers, and melon eaters all look forward to it.
Some people want to know whether the new game is fun or not, and what does the so-called new gameplay mean.
Some people also want to know if Tang Su can ‘return to the top’, proving whether the profit model of ‘Sky World’ is correct.
There are also people who are simply curious, wanting to know how much money Tang Su’s new game can make.
Time flies like water.
soon.
October comes.
National Day, legal holiday.
Because the two new games are about to be launched, in order to ensure the smooth launch of the games and to deal with bugs that may appear at any time, the employees of Sky Games did not take vacations, but they did not complain.
As for the reason…
Don’t ask, asking is triple the overtime pay!
The employees said: As long as the overtime pay is sufficient, let alone the National Day, it is fine not to go home during the New Year.
While the employees were happily going to work with generous overtime pay, Tang Su, the boss, had already left the company.
Because today, Su Xinwei and his wife invited him to dinner at home, and Tang Su naturally would not refuse.
“The one from your family… hasn’t returned to China yet?”
Tang Su randomly found a topic.
“Yes, I’m still traveling.”
Su Xinwei casually perfunctory.
“It’s good, it’s quite free.”
Tang Su smiled.
Su Tang, who is still communicating with the team about the new album at the company: ? ? ?
“By the way, is your new game online yet?”
Su Xinwei held the phone: “Download one for me, I usually relieve my boredom.”
“Row.”
Tang Su downloaded and installed “Happy Xiao Xiaole” for him, and then said, “This “Happy Xiao Xiaole” is very interesting. Occasionally, I can pass the time when I have free time.”
“let me try.”
Under the patient guidance of Tang Su, Su Xinwei quickly understood how to play.
“It’s quite interesting.”
Su Xinwei smiled and then charged a round of 648.
Tang Su: “…”
Should I say thank you boss at this time?
…
After dinner, we chatted for over an hour.
Seeing that it was almost time, Tang Su got up and said goodbye.
Two in the afternoon.
When Tang Su returned to the company, he saw that everyone was busy at work.
He didn’t bother everyone, just returned to the office in a low-key manner, opened the ‘Sky World APP’ on his mobile phone, and checked some discussions and ratings of “Happy Xiao Xiaole”.
“”Happy Xiaoxiaole” is quite interesting. It is a brand-new gameplay that has never appeared before, and it is also a high-quality boutique game. Boss Tang’s shot is really extraordinary.”
“For players who love tower defense games, Boss Tang is simply legendary. There are four tower defense games in a row, and each has its own characteristics, which is completely different from those garbage designers who play skin-changing marketing all day long.”
“In the future, anyone who wants to play tower defense games will not be able to avoid the sky games…”
“Wait a minute… “Kingdom Rush” won’t be launched until tomorrow? Don’t you feel a little embarrassed when you start playing today?”
“”Happy Xiao Xiaole” is super fun. It feels very simple to play at first, just like a game played by children, but the more you play, the more addictive it becomes…”
“I’ve been wondering what the elimination category is, but now I finally understand, it turns out that casual mobile games can still do this…”
“I have a hunch that “Happy Xiaole” is likely to become a popular game that does not lose to “Plants vs. Zombies”.”
Players are talking about their experience of “Happy Xiao Xiaole”.
Tang Su casually read a few pages of comments, and then looked at the current rating:
“Happy Xiao Xiaole” scored 9.8 points.
It can be seen that the players’ acceptance of this new gameplay is still very high.
“It has a high score, and it’s an audience of all ages… there’s nothing wrong with it.”
Tang Su thought for a while, and sent a message to the ‘Happy Xiaoxiaole Development Team’: “The game’s rating is not bad, remember to collect the data of the first week of the game’s launch, and communicate with the operation department, try to get it out within a week. Some more practical promotion plans…”
“receive.”
“receive.”
“+1”
“+1”
…
Soon, two new games will be online for a week.
“Kingdom Rush” is okay, it’s just a high-quality tower defense mobile game, and colleagues are not surprised by this. With Tang Su’s design level, unless the mentality is inflated, otherwise, designing a game of this level is completely no problem.
But another game, “Happy Xiao Xiaole”…is what really scared many of my peers.
Can games do this?
This game is obviously very simple, why is it so popular?
Suddenly I feel that the casual mobile game I just made is weak compared to “Happy Xiaole”. What’s the matter?
Didn’t you say that Tang Sujiang’s talents were exhausted? Can someone explain to me what’s going on with this game?
The colleagues were a little confused.
They had a vague premonition that “Happy Xiaoxiao Le” might become another popular mobile game under Tang Su’s command.
But as for how hot it will be… they don’t know yet.
I wanted to ask someone to ask, and then I realized that “Happy Xiaoxiaole” has not been launched on any channel platform. At present, there is only “Sky World”. Unless people take the initiative to publish the data, it is difficult for them to get it. reliable news.
Some people are also moved, and want to re-enact the gameplay of “Happy Xiaoxiaole”.
Anyway, “Happy Xiaoxiaole” is not available on other channels. At this time, whoever makes a similar game first will be able to eat the first wave of dividends.
There are not a few people who have this idea.
Many game companies have the mentality of picking up bargains, throwing aside the games they are developing, and starting to prepare their own new elimination games.
…
time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was November.
It has been a month since the launch of “Happy Xiaoxiaole” and “Kingdom Rush”. The former is still on the game channel’s popular search list, and it is a mess, even surpassing the former “Plants vs. Zombies”, “Angry Birds”, “Defending the Carrot”…
This also makes everyone more curious about the first month’s revenue of “Happy Xiao Xiaole”.
Sky Game Company—
“The calculation results have come out.”
Xu Jinyang handed over the calculated revenue data to Tang Su.
The above lists the revenue data of several of its games in the last month:
“Temple Run”: 8.1 million.
“Steel Team”: 8.46 million.
“Monument Valley”: 10.95 million.
“Happy Xiao Xiaole”: 85.43 million.
“Kingdom Rush”: 12.2 million. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
Total: 125.14 million
Hiss!
When he saw this data, Tang Su was already mentally prepared, but he couldn’t help but gasp.
This is a billion-dollar revenue?
“It’s very strong.”
Tang Su smiled: “Excluding all costs, our company’s net profit last month was at least 100 million yuan.”
This is not to mention several games from other platforms. If all are counted, it is estimated that there should be a net profit of 120 million.
“It’s all thanks to President Tang.”
Xu Jinyang said with a smile.
Tang Su shook his head, didn’t respond, thought for a moment, and said, “There is a saying that is good, it is better to be alone than to be happy. It’s not good for such a happy thing, just if our family is happy, it will definitely not work, hurry up and publish this data. Let us share our happiness with everyone…especially those who are in the same industry, I believe that some channel operators will take the initiative to contact us soon.”
“Yes.”
Xu Jinyang nodded lightly: “We can create a monthly revenue of 120 million by relying on a self-operated platform like ‘Sky World’, they must not be able to sit still…”
Speaking of which.
Xu Jinyang suddenly thought of something, and said softly, “When ‘Warm Miracles’ is launched, they may not be able to sit still anymore.”
What kind of game is “Warm Miracle”?
If you only refer to revenue, this is definitely the game that the company’s executives are most optimistic about.
Even “Happy Xiaoxiaole”, which created more than 80 million in revenue last month, is far behind.
