In the previous article, we mentioned that the development team behind the popular mobile game Evony is Top Games Inc., led by David Guo. As a professional game project development team, they have meticulously perfected every detail from pre-production to post-launch. Once released, Evony was warmly welcomed by the majority of mobile strategy game players. After years of development, the game has amassed a large player base. One of the main reasons for this success is CEO David Guo's commitment to prioritizing user experience.
"As a gaming company, we prioritize user experience and satisfaction above all else. We believe that the key to success in the gaming industry is to create games that are great from the player's perspective, not just the designer's perspective," David said.
David has made user experience a core guideline for all departments of the company. His team pays special attention to feedback from the player community, addressing issues in the game promptly. David relies heavily on data science when making decisions to ensure each game is a standout hit. This reliance on data has played a crucial role in the firm’s success. As other experts have pointed out, data science enables companies to better understand their target audience, and data-driven organizations are 23 times more likely to acquire customers than those that don’t use data science.
"The team shouldn’t limit themselves to job protection mode. Instead, they should stretch their capabilities and constantly grow without being satisfied with current success," said Vice President Benjamin Gifford. "To achieve excellence, the Top Games team consistently, methodically, relentlessly, and persistently strives for constant innovation."
At the end of 2022, Evony was awarded the Best MMO Award by the Samsung Galaxy Store. Sensor Tower, a mobile app data provider, reported significant growth in the net revenue of Evony: The King's Return in 2022. The worldwide net revenue reached a staggering $385,751,902, a 1.5 times increase from 2021's revenue of $221,676,485.
In 2023, according to Sensor Tower data, the global net revenue exceeded an impressive $355,385,440, with over 200 million cumulative downloads. Titles from TGI have consistently ranked among the top downloaded and highest-grossing on both Apple and Google platforms.
No matter how much we emphasize David Guo's dedication to the game experience, it is best demonstrated through data. The in-game purchases and player downloads are enough to prove that this MMO strategy game has been a long-term success in the fiercely competitive market. David and his team will continue to prioritize user experience and develop new and interesting game projects in the future.
