People who act as game agents sooner or later have to face the question of whether to start from scratch or to get help from the service providers? The answer is clear — most people do not have a technical team and writing their own code is not realistic. It is the highest value for money to find a reliable service provider and to spend $230,000 on a one-time mix of platforms, collection channels and game resources. But here's the problem: it's called "independent communion."Platform building"a large number of service providers with prices ranging from 3,000 to 30,000. If you don't say anything today, i'll teach you a few criteria. Take a good look at these points。
Point one: see if it's a full open source delivery
This is the core and the easiest place to step on. Many service providers say, "build you an independent platform," and the code is actually encrypted. You can use it, but you can't change it. Want to change the pay interface? Plus. Want to change the page style? Plus. Want to pick up a new game? Talk about it. What do you mean, full open source? That's the whole source code you got. The system is on your own server. It's up to you to change, take any game, do whatever you want. The source code is in your hands. Nobody can hold you. So before signing up, you have to ask if the source code is available. Can you do it twice? Is there a hidden authorization limit? Back-to-back, straight around。
Number two: see if the game resources are straight-line
Some platforms call them thousands of games, and you pick them up and you find that the player has to go through his account first, and then he gives you a share. This goes back to the old road of “lower promoters”. Qualified service providers, the game resources should be directly related to the researcher or primary distributor. Player fills directly into your payment account without going through any middle. How? You can ask the service provider to take one or two games first, run the full amount, see whose account the money is. It's better than promises。
Third point: see if the charges are non-transparent and whether there are “hidden bills”
Some of the service providers offered low prices, and 35,000 set you up. Sounds tempting, doesn't it? But you're asking: do you want to buy the servers yourself? You're gonna have to apply for it yourself, right? Let's talk about the game. You want to pay for the apple signature? Who are you looking for? Behind low prices are often a series of subsequent charges. Regular service provider offers usually start at 20,000, a price that includes open source authorization, server deployment, sdk docking, play resource access, technical support and follow-up maintenance. It's like you spent a fortune hiring a full technical team。
Point four: see if it has the capacity to hatch
This is the easiest to ignore, but also the most important. Many service providers sell the platform to you to disappear. You have an empty box that doesn't know how to promote, how to operate, how to keep players. The script service chamber of commerce teaches you how to direct short video, run community operations, set up front-loading activities and take-back strategies. You can even ask to see if they're running a platform. If he hasn't done it himself, how can he teach you
Number five: look what's written in the contract. The verbal promise doesn't count
This is the lesson of blood and tears after countless people stepped on the pit. Prior to the signing of the contract, the sale was characterized as a fall in smallpox: a school charter, a full-time support, and a month in excess of 10,000. After the money was paid, no one found it. All verbal commitments must be entered into the contract. Focus on these: what are the functional modules of the system, how much new play resources are available on a monthly basis, how long are technical support response times, how long should the system be able to solve its problems, and how long will the system be able to work out? No contract is signed if its terms are vague and no formal contract is issued。
Summary
Selecting the platform of the games agent to build the service provider, the core is five words: see, hold. You can see -- full open-source delivery, source code in your hand, you can see what your system looks like. It's got -- it's a straight line of game resources, money in your own account, data on your server. The contract was clearly written, and after the sale was handled, that was what it was. Cheap platforms may not be cheap, and expensive platforms may not be lost. It's important to see if it will make your money safe, your data secure, your development autonomy. After checking these five points, you'll be able to avoid 80% of the holes in the market。
