Qiu Bin’s understanding of mobile card games is quite scary.

” “Sigh, I guess we’re going to get less revenue for the next little while.

” “It’s normal.

People were wondering if I Am MT’s success was possible to replicate and held back on investing into it.

The players are bored too.

It’s time we made something new.

” “If you’re thinking of making another mobile card game, play more Demon Slayers 2 and learn from its combat system and artstyle.

” “Thankfully we’ve raked in a bunch of money.

We should reinvest that into art and music now, we can’t let Demon Slayers take all the glory! We must take back what is ours!” “We weren’t even the ones who suffered the worst.

The worst are the mobile game designers that insist on making other genres of games.

They must be so choked out by all these card games.

COM — The launch of Demon Slayers 2 whipped up a storm in the mobile gaming industry.

Perhaps it was just another new game to the players, but videogame designers saw a different message.

After a year or so of testing, Emperor Dynasty Entertainment finally decided to take over the mobile card game market.

They can foresee that Emperor Dynasty Entertainment will continue to invest into this following the success of Demon Slayers 2.

They’ll make more copies, with good artwork and their huge distribution to make many high quality mobile card games of different themes, consuming the entire mobile card game market in the process.

After seeing their intentions, the other mobile card game designers are forced to follow the changes and increase the quality of their games.

In no time at all, the peaceful mobile card game market was now in a race to reach the top.

— Chen Mo had no pressure at all as he watched everyone fight it out.

Onmyoji was more or less finished, the only things remaining were some artworks and some minor adjustments to the balancing which could be done in a week or two.

” Qian Kun sent Chen Mo a spreadsheet, “I’ve sent you the rates for Shikigami drawing.

If there it’ll be final if there aren’t any problems.

” Chen Mo gave it a look.

These numbers were synthesised by Qian Kun, they even included pseudo-random elements.

SSR Shikigamis like Ootengu, Shuten Douji, and Arakawa no Aruji had around 0.

1% drop rate, SR Shikigamis like Yuki Onna, and Inugami had around 1% drop rate, event based SR Shikigamis like Umibouzu, and Kuro Mujou had around 0.

1% drop rate.

Other R Shikigamis like Sanbi no Kitsune had around 3.

5% drop rate.

Basically, there was a one percent change of drawing an SSR, twenty-four percent for SR, and seventy-five percent for R.

The drawing method and probabilities were set by Chen Mo, Qian Kun just assigned each Shikigamis their probability according to how rare they should be to match Chen Mo’s expected total probability.

Moreover, Qian Kun added pseudo-random probabilities.

The players are guaranteed an SR if they fail to draw one ten times in a row, and the same applies to one hundred times in a row for SSR.

Chen Mo nodded, “It’s more or like done, but remove the pseudo-random.

” Qian Kun was shocked, “Huh? Remove the pseudo-random? Are you sure?” Chen Mo nodded, “Yes.
