In order to let everyone know more about Huo Dianyan's thoughts on mobile games in advance, 51CTO has specially conducted this interview. The interview transcript is as follows:

51CTO: What do you think of the current development trend of the domestic mobile game industry? What problems exist? What are the key factors affecting the development of the entire industry?

Huo Dianyan: The domestic mobile game industry is in the hatching stage after the budding stage. Stimulated by factors such as the demographic dividend, mature Internet platforms, and long-term product technology accumulation, it is bound to experience rapid growth. More external hot money is entering, the growth of developers and products is rapidly catalyzed, the market is overly focused on scale and ignores healthy growth, entrepreneurs are flocking to the dream of getting rich overnight, and the halo of industrial growth masks the decline of core values. When these key factors are exhausted or overdrawn, they will inevitably return to the normal form of input-output balance, and accumulate for a period of time waiting for the auxiliary explosion opportunity of new markets, new technologies, and new platforms.

51CTO: What are the inevitable factors behind a successful mobile game?

Huo Dianyan: Core key talents, long-term technological accumulation, moderate product innovation, and appropriate market timing.

51CTO: What is the current relationship between domestic channels and game developers?

Huo Dianyan: It is currently a channel buyer's market. Due to their own interests, channels are unwilling to support developers with brands and users. Instead, they are more likely to earn short-term profits by attracting users by laundering products.

51CTO: What do you think will be the trend of the mobile game market in the next two years?

Huo Dianyan: 1. Independent production. More good products come from independent production. Large companies will gradually lose their product advantages after releasing their early advantages. 2. Innovative experience. Only by seeking innovation in game themes, core gameplay, visual experience, control experience, and interactive experience can a product become a successful product. 3. Internationalization. More successful products started in the international market or even some emerging markets. 4. Games create IP. Through user brand accumulation and product serialization, the IP created by games will be more influential and vital.

51CTO: What experiences or suggestions would you share with entrepreneurs working in the mobile gaming industry?

Huo Dianyan: 1. Accumulate knowledge and then make a breakthrough, dig deep holes and store up food; 2. Stick to your instinct as a gamer; 3. Constantly renew and innovate; 4. Be able to endure loneliness.
