Chapter 14: Triple Win, a Direct Mahjong Win!_2
[Task B Reward: Unlock the ultimate reward!]
...
After seeing the task requirements, Ke Jin was a bit stunned for a moment.
Top the download charts on any platform?
It seems that after the game's rating went up, the corresponding task requirements also became more demanding.
Or rather, the system might take into account the specific popularity of this game in the previous life and adjust the tasks accordingly.
After all, at the peak of Goose Duck Kill in the last life, there was a time when over half of the streamers on the Thunderbolt platform were playing it.
Translated into requirements, topping the download chart on one platform isn't that challenging for me.
Furthermore, I still have room for some behind-the-scenes manipulation.
"The system only specified topping the chart on any platform, but didn't stipulate which one," Ke Jin said to himself.
He first opened his computer and checked the weekly top downloads on the WWgame platform.
It was a placement and card-drawing game called Like a Dragon.
The total weekly downloads were 137,811.
He casually looked at the figures from a few weeks back.
After scrolling back to the previous month, he roughly came to a conclusion.
On the WWgame platform, the weekly download volume for games that topped the chart averaged between 130,000 to 150,000.
"No way, that number is just brutal," Ke Jin shook his head hastily.
Goose Duck Kill on Blue Star, once launched, meant the debut of the Werewolf game genre!
Once it spreads, it will only exceed the 150,000 figure.
If the base number of users increases, even if it's just a one-yuan first charge tier,
they could probably contribute a total revenue of fifty thousand to me.
Dangerous!
"Looks like WWgame platform is no longer suitable for my development," Ke Jin concluded.
"I need to find a smaller game platform."
If other game designers heard this, they would probably spit out three liters of blood on the spot.
We're racking our brains to climb up, and you're just here catering to the lower market.
Experiencing the common people's struggles, eh, you cheeky brat!
Of course, they couldn't hear Ke Jin's words, and Ke Jin's thinking was in itself the opposite of mainstream designers on the market.
He opened the browser and began searching for various domestic game platforms.
After some searching, he indeed found a very small game platform.
CloudEnd game, established last year, was formerly a company providing self-media cloud transmission services.
Losing out to others in terms of traffic, they decisively switched to the gaming industry, barely breaking even with a slightly lower revenue share than other platforms.
However, due to its very small size, the designers who choose to release their games here are either really poor or the games are really inferior.
The entire game platform's daily active users are probably not even ten thousand.
The highest download chart for the week barely reaches just over fifteen thousand.
"That's the one!" As soon as Ke Jin saw the weekly chart with 15,000 downloads, he was visibly delighted.
Releasing a game on this platform, even if there are only 15,000 players, and each of them spends one yuan on the game,
That would only amount to fifteen thousand.
But by then, I will have already become the top and completed the ultimate task!
Yo-ho!
Soon, following the contact information at the bottom of the platform's page, Ke Jin added the platform manager's WeChat.
"Hello, I am Huang Chun, the manager of CloudEnd platform. Would you be interested in launching a new game on our platform, or is there some other collaborative matter at hand?" the other side asked politely as soon as the WeChat connection was made.
Compared to the desolate situation on WWgame, at least the service at CloudEnd game was done well.
Right off the bat, it was a manager-level reception!
"Hello, I am the author of 'I wanna', and I'm planning to release a new game on your platform," Ke Jin got straight to the point.
The reason he revealed his former identity was that he still needed some traffic.
At least I need to surge to the top of CloudEnd game, don't I?
If I don't reveal my identity, what if the editors don't give me any recommendations later on?
No sooner had he said this,
the other end went silent all of a sudden.
Ke Jin was still wondering what was going on,
when suddenly, a phone call came through.
"I cheerfully lift my wine as I wander the cold mountain, savoring it slowly and leisurely~" His mobile phone's ringtone played, and Ke Jin took a closer look.
An unfamiliar number.
After choosing to answer,
The voice on the other end was somewhat respectful, even a bit shaky.
"You... You mean to say, you are the author of Iwanna?... Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, I am the Huang manager who was just chatting with you on WeChat," Huang Chun said nervously over the phone, afraid that a poor attitude might displease this important client and let him slip away.
The gaming circle could be large or small.
The heat surrounding Iwanna on Thunderbolt was almost hitting a million.
And today, new streamers are continually trying out this game with explosive show potential.
The heat is still on the rise.
How could Huang Chun not have heard of such a game creator who hit the peak right from his debut?
But since this author was associated with WWgame platform, apart from turning green with envy, there was nothing else Huang Chun could do.
Could it be that this big shot had actually come knocking at his door?
This was unheard of!
Let him visit!
Let him thoroughly visit my little website!
"Yes, hello Manager Huang, do you need me to provide some proof of my game production?" Ke Jin politely offered.
"Uh... If it's not too much trouble for you," Huang Chun cautiously responded.
With the frequency of telecommunications fraud these days, while he did not want to offend the person on the other end, he still needed to confirm his identity.
After a short wait, Ke Jin sent a screenshot of a part of his WWgame author's backend that didn't involve sensitive information to Huang Chun on WeChat.
