To say that the best game this year and the one that attracted the most attention is undoubtedly "Fruit Swordsman". As the main game that Andy hopes to promote with the love of crazy mobile phones, it has occupied the first place in the ranking for a long time, almost A lot of games that mobile phone users must install.

"Previously games were released on physical media, such as engraved on cd, which made game development companies have to rely on game publishing companies. Now selling games in digital form eliminates the middleman link, and we can truly achieve benefits Maximize, I believe the company's profits will be greater in the future. "

Andy is very concerned about the total sales of "Minecraft" reaching 80 million US dollars, but the net profit is more than 10 million US dollars. The key is the cost of the cd carrier and the game publishing company. Is a bit upset.

Just look at "Fruit Swordsman" for only two months. IOS system, Symbian system is the number one download. Although the sales of iphone is only over one million, it is almost over 90%. Download the paid Fruit Ninja, a mobile game developed for touch screens.

IOS mobile phone with ios system alone brought the company a profit of nearly three million US dollars in two months. The profit of other versions is slightly worse. After all, the touch screen is not the mainstream setting, but it has almost obtained 100. More than ten thousand dollars.

Such a simple mobile game can bring so much profit in just two months, and it is also continuously brought, which has to make other Silicon Valley companies look at the news when they see the news.

"Boss, our free version has found advertisers through Miss Emily, and currently it can only bring us $ 10,000 in advertising revenue per month." Blair said to Andy with a weird expression.

"Oh, Chinese free version, advertising + in-app purchases, this is also no way out, they are used to free resources, they will not be used to download and purchase games at all, but the game must be cut, grab the market first Right. "

Andy is also mentally prepared for this. He does not engage in free. There will also be various cracked versions on Tianchao ’s network. It ’s better to add advertisements and earn some money by purchasing in-app items. Although The profit is pitiful, but it is always a bit of meat, and the mosquito meat is also meat.

Then let the "Temple Run" development team show the results of their labor, after a short run, the effect is still very good, Andy is also quite satisfied, at least not worse than the previous version.

Because the most important 3d game engine has been solved, the next development work will become faster and smoother. "Big Extreme Skiing" and "Super Monkey Ball" also progress very well.

What surprised Andy was that the development of Candy Saga had been completed. Only one month after he proposed this plan, he was ready to upload it to the app store and start selling it.

Well, although this game has a simple program and the screen is relatively simple, the most important thing is that the level design is quite laborious, but the development team of this candy legend also has a way. The five-person development team will spend two hours a day together. Think of the levels together, and join the game when you want to, and let this elite get 100 levels in a month, and this kind of thinking collision still has not ended. Their goal is 1,000 levels, full of ambition.

Andy held a lot of beautiful pictures in his hands, looking at the bird images in different colors and shapes, and the background picture to be used in the game, very satisfied.

"Yes, the painting is really good. This is the effect I want."

Shanil Dior, who stood out from many competitors in the company to take over the project "Angry Birds", finally relaxed his tension. To be honest, all project teams in the company are a little afraid of this smiling sitting on the main seat. Young boss.

After all, his boss is too genius and wicked. He made the game plan so detailed. As a subordinate, if he fails to do it, it really means that he is incompetent.

"Boss, if you are satisfied, then we will officially start this project in the next step." Shaneir secretly exhaled a sigh of breath and said.

"Yes! Details, every detail must be better. As the company's main game next year, I can't take over the crude.

Blair, I think we should also hold a new product launch conference, invite our paid game users to take part in the scene, invite journalists to help how to promote, maybe we can also sell tickets in the future. "

When everyone heard the boss ’s words, everyone smiled. Everyone thought of Jobs who was trying hard to promote his mobile phone. The so-called Apple new product launch conference was just because Jobs wanted to use his name to promote the product, but the effect was real. Yes, in this way, many technology companies are also optimistic about this promotion model.

"Oh, boss, you are much more charming than Jobs. After all, these games have a great response and influence in the market. At the press conference, in addition to the introduction of new products, the speaker is also the focus of everyone, after all All gamers are curious about your creative director.

The video game itself is the ninth art, and you can be the same as an artist. You can give your own thoughts, soul, and personality to the product, so that the game is not just a pastime, it has a temperature and an emotion. "

Blair was simply too satisfied with his current status and life. When he came to apply for the job, he thought that the company would grow to its current size.

The other people in the conference room also nodded in agreement and made Andy shake his head and laughed, but his mood was extremely comfortable. He increasingly likes this feeling of control. Sure enough, money and power are addictive!

"Although the mobile game is a gold mine just dug out, but really want to make this industry deeper and bigger, the funding threshold will become higher and higher in the future. I will not draw funds from the company, and I hope you will work with me Grow Mockingbird Games beyond the giants of ea. "

In fact, the game company has been on the track of rapid development. As long as the game itself has commercial value and attractiveness, the company's profit can be guaranteed. The boss, Andy, does not lack money himself and will not draw blood from the company, which ensures that the game company has sufficient funds to develop new products and operations. This has doubled its market value and become the most dazzling star in the gaming industry.

After the meeting, everyone left, Andy didn't stop any more, but took the assistants and bodyguards through the corridor and turned to the other side of the building, Liberty City Software Application Store.

In order to prevent Apple from developing its own app trading platform, the publicity fees that Andy had allocated to the mall before were all smashed out, and the effect was quite obvious. From the beginning, there were only a few app applications suitable for the iOS system. An application development kit was announced at Apple In the next week, it increased to 500 applications. Although Jiucheng is a free applet, the Liberty City app application mall has also established a unique position among iphone users.

In the following time, after investing in publicity expenses, the number of software applications based on the ios system soared to 2,500, and the cumulative download of the mall also exceeded 100 million times in the past few days.

At the time, Andy also specifically asked Michael Wright to lead a celebration party for the whole company. Although he was not at the scene, he also sent a greeting to all the staff through the video connection.

"Boss, the first month's application software sales revenue has been fully accounted for, and there has been no omissions. Every programmer has received the money." Michael reported to the boss's exchange that he was holding a data sheet.

"Well, it's a good job. Although it is a bit of a hassle, but in the first month, it is also the first time to establish trust with various developers. We must do a good job. Our platform is a service provider. Do n’t do that. This kind of shop bullying, from the very beginning to do a good job of services, to win over these excellent software developers and individuals, even if Apple develops its own platform, but only as a latecomer to compete with us.

When we were in Liberty City, we focused on services. Apple controlled the hardware, software, and platform. It was a closed-loop system, and it was inevitable that Jobs would be very ugly. Ha ha, plus a group of vampire directors , I am looking forward to their breach of contract against the city of freedom. "

The data sheet in Andy's hand raised his head, with a mocking smile in the corner of his mouth, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes.

"Master Joe, I have prepared a rich set of packages for you, I hope you don't provoke me!"
