Unconsciously, it has been a week since the acquisition of mikufans was completed.

During this week, Cao Shuai basically took over Xingyuan Investment.

Gao Meng also began to have a certain say within mikufans.

Wang Jing completed the task of adding social functions to the Xingyuan application platform and entered the bug testing stage.

Xu Jiale has also started the development of the third game.

Previously, Luo Fan gave Xu Jiale two new game plans. These two games were plans written by Luo Fan during the Chinese New Year. One was Temple Escape and the other was Defending Carrot.

From the rise of smartphones to the advent of the 4G era, there were three absolute overlords of mobile games.

The first one is Angry Birds, the second one is Fruit Ninja, and the third one is Temple Run.

The year these three games were released, they all became the best-selling games in the Apple Store that year.

And not only Apple phones, but also various pirated games on Android phones are rampant, and the download rates of these three games are also very high.

Especially for the latter two games, in an era when smartphones are fully popularized, it is self-evident that the gold content of winning the sales championship is high.

If Fruit Ninja’s popularity is due to its unique gameplay and realistic cutting feel.

Temple Escape is popular simply because it is simple and easy to play, and can be played with only one hand. However, Temple Escape is a very difficult game in a sense, and any mistake requires the player to start from scratch.

Come again.

The background story of Temple Escape is very simple. An adventurer comes to an ancient temple to hunt for treasure, but is chased by a monster.

All the players need to do is turn, jump and lie down backwards. They need to climb over ancient temple walls and climb cliffs. In the process, players can shake their phones to collect gold coins.

The content of this game is very similar to that of most parkour games. The core is to overcome obstacles and traps and keep running forward. The player only needs to control him to avoid various dangers encountered on the way to escape.

The only difference is probably that the game does not use the common 2D horizontal screen, but instead uses a full 3D third-person perspective.

It is such a simple and extremely simple game that has quickly become popular all over the world since it was launched in 2012. In just two months, it surpassed many games and topped the Apple Store.

As of 2016, according to incomplete statistics, Temple Run has been installed 1.7 billion times around the world, including 620 million by iPhone users. This is a very scary number.

Defend the Carrot was also a game released in 2012. Although this game has far fewer downloads than Temple Run, it was nominated for the 2012 Apple official app store game of the year. The downloads on the iOS platform exceeded 50 million, and it also won the 2012 Most Popular Game.

Best mobile stand-alone game award.

This game was different from the tower defense games on the market at the time. Its unique, fresh and cute style has won unanimous praise, especially among many female players.

It is said that 60% of the players who defend the carrot are girls. It is a miracle that a non-feminine, non-otome-oriented game can achieve such an exaggerated male-female ratio.

The gameplay of Defend the Carrot is very simple, just like its name. The task of the game is to protect the carrot and prevent it from being eaten by aliens. Each carrot has a health value of 10 blood, which means it will be eaten 10 times.

The monster "gnaws" the opportunity. When the health value is 0, the mission fails.

All the player has to do is click on the idle area on the map to place the turret. During the game, each turret can be upgraded twice to reach the top level. After upgrading, not only the appearance changes, but its output also becomes more powerful.

No matter how you look at these two game plans, Defending Carrot is more playable and has a higher upper limit.

Xu Jiale didn't know what kind of wave Temple Escape would cause. In addition, it was now the second time that Plants vs. Zombies became popular in China. Because of the existence of Plants vs. Zombies, tower defense games inherently occupied a certain niche compared to other games.

Advantage.

Therefore, Xu Jiale was more optimistic about Defending Carrot than Temple Escape. He initially thought of developing Defending Carrot first.

When Xu Jiale informed Luo Fan of his decision, Luo Fan smiled and said: "Brother Xu, I think the development of Temple Escape is obviously simpler than Defending Carrot. Based on the situation of our company, we should develop Temple Escape first."

I think Temple Escape is a better choice.

After Temple Run is launched, I will expand the game development department. By then we will have enough manpower to make this game better, and it will not be too late to develop it again."

Xu Jiale heard this and thought it made sense, so he agreed with Luo Fan's point of view and began to develop Temple Escape.

In fact, Luo Fan wants to use the influence of Temple Run and Fruit Ninja to further promote the Xingyuan application platform, and at the same time rely on sales in the Apple Store to further raise funds to prepare for the next reform of mikufans.

The subsequent defense of Carrot was actually another attempt by Luo Fan.

Defend the Carrot is still a free game, but its internals will be built into the game store and recharge interface.

You can use krypton gold to buy diamonds, and use diamonds to buy various props to help you pass the game.

Of course, it is possible to pass the level without spending money or spending money, but it just requires players to explore for a long time.

It is unrealistic to make mobile games that are completely free all the time. It is imperative to build an internal recharge entrance.

Once the attempt to defend the carrot is successful, Luo Fan will then mobilize the entire company to develop a game. If this game can be won, then Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. will be able to completely establish itself in the field of mobile games.

Heel.

Another three days have passed in the blink of an eye. Today is February 28, 2010. This day is both the Lantern Festival and the day when students return to school.

Li Jingyi returned to Hangzhou with her suitcase in the afternoon, and Luo Fan also returned to the dormitory in the evening and had a meal with his roommates.

Luo Fan actually thought about whether to drop out of school altogether, and he even discussed this matter with the dean of the department.

But the dean of the department said that Luo Fan should be allowed to come when he has time. He doesn't have to come if he doesn't have time. There is no need to take a break from school. Starting a company will not affect his graduation.

The dean of the department had said so, so Luo Fan would not be stupid enough to force him to suspend his studies.

Luo Fan has privileges, but Gao Meng does not. She had already submitted her suspension application to the school when school started yesterday.

Now that the acquisition of mikufans has just been completed, Luo Fan needs Gao Meng to complete the control of mikufans as soon as possible, and then start the first step of monetization - peripheral sales.

This requires a lot of energy, and Gao Meng is not a fairy who can do two things at once. Compared with school, work matters are obviously much more important, so Gao Meng chose to drop out of school and devote himself wholeheartedly to the work of mikufans.

***The author has something to say***

Yesterday, I went to the police station because of the parking space issue. I didn't come back until after 9pm. The guy who occupied my parking space did it on purpose. He had had a conflict with me before. That time, his dog took my dog's Frisbee away.
