Hello folks.Welcome to the first interview conducted in howtobunny.com
We have with us a Game Developer from Malaysia,who has recently received a whopping 1 Million downloads on playstore on his game Zombie Killer D Edition.
If you are a game developer you probably know him,yes we have with us Mr.Chan Aik Choy from X Conique
So Chan,Please introduce yourself to our readers
I'm chan, XCQ malaysia , happy to have a chance to share my game developement story to all of you
X Conique Technology Sdn Bhd (XCQ) is a studio with multi-platform game development. We are committed to making the most creative game for our fans. Since founded in 2014, the company has already independently developed several games: The Magic Journey of Bubble, Zombie killer, God Sent (currently in development), Treasure Defense (currently in development), War of 3 Kingdoms, etc.
How did you came to know about Game development and how did u get started with it?
I have loved games and joined the game industry in 2010.From that time, I learned a lot about
making games such as designing, graphic , coding , marketing and etc.Last year,I decided to make
my own game ,so I invited my friends to join and XCQ got started. Ofcourse , we were indie ,there
was no stable income and we beared all the cost and risk by ourself.
Tell us something about the game Zombie Killer D Edition And how much time did u spent on the making of this game.
Zombie Killer was my 2nd game.I learned from my failure ( my first game , causual ) and realized that there is a chance to making a old school style ( market lack of this kind of game).I remember how my childhood first games were, that is simple , classic and fun, hence i made Zombie Killer .
I spent 4 months to complete Zombie Killer, 1 month in testing, at the same time, I spent a lot time to study the marketing.I met with a lot social media people and marketers and I learned from them a lot.
Did u do any mistake?
Sure, I made a lot mistakes not only in the product but also in the marketing.
For product side, I realised that I always thought that "what i like,the user will like too". That was a big mistake.
For marketing, I realised that a good marketing campaign does not mean that you need "good budget."How to choose the best channel to suit you product is knowledge/ study.I recommend all of
you to spend more time to know about all the marketing with people , always share your problems
and ideas with them.
Which Ad networks did support you in earning the revenues?
Google admob and charboost.
What kept you motivated in your days of hardwork?
Full of passion, as I told you early, I love games and I will never stop loving them. .
I would like say thanks to my teams and family, they gave a me a lot of support.
To my wife and son: "Thank you very much , I will always love you."
To my team members : "Thanks for your trust and support that made us hit our first 1 Million downloads on playstore"
So now after your game Zombie Killer D Edition is a success,what are your future plans?
I have few projects put on hand now , of course, developing of Zombie Killer 2 is in progress
and Android TV game is our next market product too.
Ending the interview,to all the readers out their,please share some tips to success to the other
developers out there.
I will suggest to all the indies out their,Please do not mind to share your stories, ideas, problems to
other developers, marketer or publisher during the game developing,So that if any problem occurs
then you can find the solution faster.
So That was It. Very very thanks to you Chan for joining us on this interview.Best of luck to you and X Conique for your upcoming projects and hope that your upcoming games becomes bigger success than Zombie Killer D Edition :)
