The official app store is different from some other game channels. 400 downloads seem very, very few, but in fact, this data is pretty good.

Some other game channels, such as the Dichao Game Platform or the brand application stores of major mobile phone manufacturers, can be purchased directly with money. If you want to browse the rankings, you can also browse it silently.

Therefore, in other game channels, as long as you are willing to spend money, it is not surprising that you can directly buy thousands or tens of thousands of downloads on the first day.

However, the official app store refuses to swipe any rankings. When the new game is launched, it can only be found in an inconspicuous corner. For example, "The Storm Knight Adventure", even if it is on the new game list and the new game recommendations are recommended, only a few people will download it.

However, the official app store will automatically adjust the recommendation position based on the data of the new game. For data like "Storm Knight Adventure", the next time it will be recommended for new game quality or classified game recommendations, and the download volume will increase in an instant.

If the next recommendation is to maintain the download volume and rating of "Storm Knight Adventure" at a good level, the recommended position will become better. If this virtuous cycle continues, the download volume can range from hundreds to tens of thousands in one or two weeks.

Of course, this kind of "virtuous cycle" can only be achieved by a very small number of high-quality games. Most ordinary games have been recommended due to data decline in the middle.

The official app store is different from other platforms, with very few share, only 20% of the game revenue.

As for tax deduction, it is relatively troublesome. The tax deduction method is different from Chen Mo's previous life, but it is not difficult to calculate. The various miscellaneous taxes of transaction tax and income tax are deducted at about 30%.

Of course, the main tax deductions are pure profits deducted, but the R&D costs of game designers are not as high as those of traditional companies, so the profits are high, and the tax deductions are also more harsh.

If it is 100,000 downloads, Lin Mao’s income will be 2 million without discounts. After deducting the platform’s share and various taxes, he will also be 1.12 million.

Although I only got half of it, I have made a big profit.

Of course, sales are also affected by the price of the game. For example, the price of this game, Lin Mao, is 20 yuan, and it is relatively difficult to reach 100,000 yuan in downloads.

However, even if the price is cheap and down to 10 yuan, there are not many games with more than 100,000 downloads in the entire app store.

This kind of game is basically a regular visitor on various lists, and the recommended position must be obtained with ease.

Many little transparent designers have only a few thousand downloads. They work hard for half a year and earn more than one hundred thousand, but they also have to bear all kinds of expenses and can barely maintain food and clothing.

Chen Mo said: "In another hour or two, we will refresh the recommendation position? Let's see where you can climb to when you see it."

Lin Mao nodded: "Yes, I looked at the game data during the same period, and my game is still optimistic. But it's hard to say, after all, we don't know the recommendation algorithm of the app store."

It can be seen that Lin Mao is still a little nervous. This recommendation will basically affect the future fate of this game to a large extent. For Lin Mao, this game has no shortage of hard work, sincerity and creativity. It depends on the player's acceptance now.

Chen Mo patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, the quality of the game is here, what are you afraid of?"

Lin Mao said: "Well, I hope. By the way, can you play your game? I'll see if I can give you some advice from a different angle."

Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, you can play with a computer or mobile phone."

Lin Mao was stunned: "Are you a double-ended one? You guy is very ambitious! Then I'll use your phone, I'm used to using it."

After installing the game, Lin Mao clicked on the icon on the screen to open "Plant vs. Zombies".

Lin Mao played it for ten minutes and was soon attracted by this game.

"This game...is very complete!"

After all, Lin Mao is a game designer, and his perspective is different from other players. He was surprised to find that the graphics, music, interface, gameplay and other aspects of this game are very consistent, and he can't even find any problems!

The guidance of novices is simple and clear, quick to get started, the level difficulty is reasonable, and the combat system is rich...

If someone told Lin Mao now that this is a top-notch game on the best-selling list, he would not have doubted it at all!

"This... was it what you made in three months?" Lin Mao looked at Chen Mo with an incredible face.

Chen Mo nodded: "Well, the creativity has been conceived for a long time, how about it?"

Lin Mao nodded constantly: "Awesome, I think it has the potential to become a popular game! In terms of this quality, it has already crushed many games on the list. When do you plan to go online?"

Chen Mo said: "Tomorrow. I have collected some player feedback these two days, and they are generally pretty good, and some unreasonable areas have been modified, so there is no big problem. After it goes online, the player data will be more, and then subsequent updates will be made."

Lin Mao said: "I think it's OK. You're making this game much better than mine. I really didn't expect that you are so enlightened. Why did you suddenly become so powerful!"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "What's the point? Besides, whether the game can be successful is not just about quality, but also about luck. I hope both of our games can be sold well."

Lin Mao said: "Yes, I hope they can sell well, and we can also get a companion on the new game list."

In the past three days, nearly one hundred people have played "Plant vs. Zombies". Some of them are wild players from the experience store on the road, most of which are brought by Wen Lingwei and Jia Peng.

After returning, these people spontaneously introduced the game to their roommates. As a result, Chen Mo's experience store accepted another group of players.

Now Chen Mo’s experience store has more than ten people every day, which is much more lively.

Chen Mo and Lin Mao chatted for a while.

"Hmm? I've won the recommendation position!" Lin Mao said in surprise.

Chen Mo came over and said, "Look, where is the new recommended location?"

Lin Mao was excited to search in the app store: "Classified game recommendations! New game boutiques! Both recommendations are available!"

"It's so awesome." Chen Mo smiled, "You're going to be hot."

These two recommendations are pretty good recommendations for new games. Classified game recommendations can bring many players who like this type of game to the game, while new game quality recommendations will attract those who like to find new games.

Two recommendations were also made, indicating that in the system score, "Storm Knight Adventure" has been listed as a key recommended game, and it will inevitably usher in a surge in sales in the short term.

If the previous high ratings can be continued, the game will almost undoubtedly receive better recommendations, and it is very likely that it will be recommended on the homepage.

Lin Mao patted his chest: "I finally feel relieved. The second recommendation is too critical."

Chen Mo reminded: "Don't be careless, you should pay more attention to player comments. There may be some competitors slandering, so you have to be careful."

Lin Mao nodded: "Well, I know, this is the second recommendation just now, it's still early for the game to become popular."

The two chatted for a few more hours, and by the way, they studied the new games of the same period and followed the data of each game. When the experience store closed in the evening, the two went for a midnight snack together, and then Lin Mao left.
Chapter completed!
