Cocos Studio launches new features to speed up development efficiency

Cocos Studio 2.0 was released at the Cocos 2014 Developer Autumn Conference on October 28. In the past six weeks, Cocos Studio 2.0 has accumulated more than 70,000 developers, of which 80% are Chinese developers, and they are mainly concentrated in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. It is understood that in the coming period, the Cocos Studio team will focus on several core points to speed up the opening efficiency.

Zhang Xiaolong shared the new features that Cocos Studio has launched and will launch soon. He said that all of these will be centered around accelerating development efficiency. Developers can use Cocos products to optimize product experience, add practical functions, improve efficiency, and integrate workflows. New features of Cocos:

1. UI editing: Launch the UI layout of the entire line, make UI components and function callbacks in the nine-square grid;

2. Animation editing: open up the ability to quickly create sequence frames; animation list configuration, add a drop-down list to the entire animation editing area, and you can freely edit from a certain frame to a certain frame; animation frame rate setting; embedded set animation playback;

3. Efficiency improvement: The exported data is optimized and the parsing speed is 30 times that of the previous 2.0 version.

Cocos Studio is integrated into Cocos

Zhang Xiaolong said: "In the next period of time, our Cocos Studio will be integrated into Cocos, including all the tool framework engines that cooperate with Cocos Studio will be integrated into Cocos products." He said that the Cocos workflow will be optimized in the near future:

1. Cocos Studio, as the entry point for editing games, will create work items to reduce developers' time costs;

2. Optimize the interaction between Cocos Studio and Coding. When working in EIDE, you can directly embed code or modify it directly. In the future, we will continue to launch spaces, so that you can directly double-click to enter the IDE for programming or content editing;

3. Launched a new moderator and developed a new UV version, which can be debugged remotely, and the debugging information in the entire IDE can be displayed at the same time;

4. Optimize project publishing in IDE to solve the problem that developers complained about the complexity of game APP publishing. #p#

Cocos Studio V2.1 Open Plan Announced

In the era of mobile Internet, the mobile game industry is becoming increasingly popular. How to stand out in an era of opportunities and challenges? Win-win cooperation is a good choice. Zhang Xiaolong said: "In the past, we launched functions that we thought were very useful for developers, but we found that it was difficult for these functions to be the first among similar products, and it was difficult to achieve the ultimate. What we have to do next is to open up and integrate the best functions in the industry, so that each party can use the most professional methods to do what they are best at and achieve a win-win situation."

Zhang Xiaolong announced the Cocos Studio V2.1 open plan: first, open the API of Cocos Studio; second, open the product system, which will support LW and JS; third, integrate a large number of third-party tools. The functions opened in the first phase of the Cocos Studio open plan mainly include: custom plug-in extensions, custom control extensions, custom property extensions, data export interfaces, and animation properties. In terms of third-party tool integration, many professional tools in the industry have been integrated, such as llan, Spine, PS, FL, etc. At the same time, we also cooperate with tool manufacturers to integrate the tools into the Cocos store for developers to download.

In addition, the Asset Store will soon be open, which integrates project creation, stores, examples, teaching materials, etc. Zhang Xiaolong said: "We will soon open game project templates to the public. We will use some relatively complete projects or templates as stores and video interfaces, which can help everyone optimize their games faster. Next are our editor extension plug-ins, extension scripts, and third-party resources. This is the first phase, and these things will be gradually opened to everyone in the near future. Our R&D team will continue to open functions to everyone, and everyone can also share the plug-ins they want to develop or some good templates or other functions they develop here."

CocosPush: An operation helper after the game is launched

A new product, CocosPush, appeared at the salon. "CocosPush is a tool that helps developers maintain high-quality operations after the game is launched," said Guo Meng, product manager of CocosPush.

How to operate a game after it goes online is a big problem that bothers developers. Nowadays, hundreds of games are launched every day. If there is no good operation, a good game will be drowned. Guo Meng said that through the current domestic channel promotion, developers can get tens of thousands of users, but these users will soon be lost. For game developers, how to convert users into paying users, improve retention, and make reasonable use of operating expenses is crucial. CocosPush helps developers solve these three major directions.

Guo Meng introduced: "The biggest features of CocosPush are high efficiency, stability, accurate push and statistical analysis." According to the introduction, CocosPush currently pushes accurately based on five criteria: tag, version, lower than, channel and account. Based on CocosPush's accumulation of user and device data, it pushes to the right people at the right time, helping developers to quickly accumulate users, while saving data traffic and reducing operating capital costs. At the same time, CocosPush also has a powerful function of statistical analysis. It not only supports push but also supports statistics, including the number of devices pushing, the number of devices receiving, and the click-through conversion rate. These push data can all be displayed through reports.

Guo Meng said: "Now the game traffic is increasing. It's really hard to go through CPA and channel resources. The game industry is still a violent money-making industry. Everyone wants to make 100,000 yuan, and from 100,000 yuan to 1 million yuan. CocosPush can help you reduce the cost of 100,000 yuan to 1,000 yuan. This is the value of CocosPush."
