Top Games Inc., one of the world's highest-earning game companies, has recently gained worldwide popularity with their famous game, “Evony: The King's Return.” Led by co-founder and CEO David Guo, the company has successfully transformed the game from a typical flash browser game into one of the best 4X strategy games on the internet. Guo's leadership and management style has played a significant role in the success of the company and its flagship game.
From Flash Game to Global Sensation
Released in 2016, “Evony: The King's Return” attracted a large number of SLG enthusiasts with its unique multi-civilization system and realistic war experience. To expand the market and reach more users, Top Games Inc.'s co-founder and CEO, David Guo, invested a huge amount of money in 2017 by hiring well-known directors and actors in the industry to shoot a product advertisement that aired during the Super Bowl. The stunning scenes and tense atmosphere in the advertisement touched the hearts of every viewer, and the response was very positive. This advertisement directly entered the top ten advertisements of the Super Bowl.
Since then, the popularity of “Evony: The King's Return” has skyrocketed, becoming one of the top five games in terms of downloads and positive reviews in the United States. Its rating on both the Google Play Store and App Store has consistently hovered around 4.4.
Pursuing Excellence through Innovation
Benjamin Gifford, the Vice President of Development at Top Games Inc., explained in an award-winning interview how they created such a successful product. According to him, development teams usually focus on implementing a perfect idea, and if it's not 100% perfect, they are not allowed to release it on the market. However, he realized that while pursuing perfection is understandable, it often leads game development teams far behind their competitors. Throughout the entire development process, they pursued excellence rather than perfection. In order to achieve excellence, the development team consistently pursued innovation.
A Key to Top Games Inc.'s Success
David Guo, the CEO of Top Games Inc., believes that teams should not limit themselves to a defensive work mode. Instead, they should expand their abilities and continuously grow, rather than settling for the current success. Under his leadership, an open and flat structure is adopted in the operation of the company. For the R&D department, the management level of each engineer does not exceed three levels below the CEO, and the direct reports of managers and team leaders do not exceed seven. The leadership of Top Games Inc. strives to ensure that all information is freely shared in any possible situation.
