Time Travel: 2014 - Chapter 376

c376 Intensive game updates(3)

This kind of update may not be a major update like version iteration, but necessary updates are still necessary.

For example, software updates are often a matter of attitude, reminding the player base that developers have not forgotten the player base.

Just do what you say. Although it is already early in the morning, Lin Hui is not tired at all and has a lot of energy. In this state, Lin Hui quickly got into working mode.

Updates to the game 2048 are simple.

Previously, Lin Hui added a score ranking list to this game.

This ranking can count the top 50 scores in the world.

And only when the player’s score reaches a certain level, the option of [Submit Score] can be triggered.

As for now, the list is directly designed so that in addition to counting the top 50 in the world, it can also count the top 50 in the country where the player is located.

Of course, only when the player’s score reaches a certain level can the [Submit Score] option be triggered.

Although it is just a move that seems to have little impact, once many things are given an alternative interpretation, Lin Hui feels that there will be players involved.

At the same time, Lin Hui has uploaded several new skins in addition to the classic skins in the game “2048”.

However, if you want to unlock the corresponding skin, you must reach a certain score or play a certain number of games before you can unlock it.

These changes are not very complicated, especially for a technical veteran like Lin Hui.

It’s not too difficult when it comes to UI design.

After all, when it comes to UI and so on, if you don’t deliberately try to be unique.

In fact, there are many public resources available.

Under this circumstance, Lin Hui quickly completed the update of the game “2048”.

However, because a game like “2048” is obviously much more international than a game like “Life Restart Simulator”.

In order to avoid certain troubles, Lin Hui carefully tested it several times before uploading it.

Games like “2048” are reviewed faster, almost in seconds.

As for the update of the game “FLAPPY BIRD”.

Although the update of this game was originally the most difficult, after all, a game like “FLAPPY BIRD” is a game with a very mature design language.

It is actually very difficult to continue updating.

Although from an optimization perspective, optimization operations are the easiest option to think of.

But the reason why games like “FLAPPY BIRD” are popular is largely because of its anti-human operations.

Now it is impossible for Lin Hui to attack the foundation of the game when updating.

Although things were a bit difficult to handle, Lin Hui soon came up with an idea.

Lin Hui remembered that he had already created a DLC for the overseas version of the game “FLAPPY BIRD”.

At that time, Lin Hui mainly worked on the BGM when making the DLC.

Lin Hui added 50 more soothing BGM songs to the game’s soundtrack.

In addition, in the DLC, in order to allow players to enjoy the game.

Lin Hui also specially added a “Zen mode”.

In Zen mode, even if the pixel bird hits the water pipe, the game will not end, but points will be deducted instead…

Lin Hui originally planned to launch domestic and overseas DLC simultaneously.

But at that time, Lin Hui managed to get the DLC corresponding to the overseas version to pass the review smoothly.

However, the domestic version DLC was inexplicably returned at that time.

At that time, the App Store suggested that Lin Hui adjust the DLC for the domestic version.

The advice given by the app store is to postpone the launch.

About ten days have passed.

Going online now should be regarded as a temporary delay.

Anyway, judging from Lin Hui’s daily life, which is very fulfilling every day.

Lin Hui felt that more than ten days was already a long time.

For example, when Lin Hui launched the DLC of “FLAPPY BIRD” last time, his wealth at that time was only over 10 million US dollars.

Although more than 10 million US dollars is enough to defeat 99.99% of Biyou in previous lives.

But it seems that Lin Hui was still a little cash-strapped at the time.

After all, Lin Hui now has a wealth of more than 150 million U.S. dollars in just U.S. dollars.

This period of time is even enough for many things to continue to change quantitatively and accumulate the effect of qualitative change.

In short, even though it only lasts for more than ten days, Lin Hui feels that going online now can be regarded as a temporary delay.

Lin Hui decisively launched the DLC that he had planned to launch again, and made a comeback to prepare for the domestic launch.

When he was “short of money” at the beginning, Lin Hui’s price for the domestic launch of the DLC was 6 yuan.

As for now, the price is still 6 yuan.

Pricing is still necessary.

Without pricing, it would be wrong to really make money from software in the future.

But after all, Lin Hui no longer attaches great importance to the dividends from these traditional mini-games.

Simply, Lin Hui decided to give the upcoming DLC ​​of “FLAPPY BIRD” an 8-hour limited exemption.

Although it was only eight hours, Lin Hui felt that it was enough to benefit many game enthusiasts.

Soon Lin Hui successfully uploaded the DLC of the game “FLAPPY BIRD”.

And this time it didn’t take too long to pass the review.

After Lin Hui uploads the corresponding DLC ​​for the game “FLAPPY BIRD” and passes the review of the app store.

Lin Hui noticed that the time had reached 4:57 in the morning on June 28th.

This time, Lin Hui completed the updates of three games: “Life Restart Simulator”, “2048” and “FLAPPY BIRD” at once.

In particular, the update to “2048” is aimed at players around the world.

In this case, it is still necessary to do some publicity.

However, these updates are only for old games that have been uploaded for a while.

Lin Hui felt that there was no need to publicize such an update with much fanfare.

Especially when it comes to spending huge amounts of money on advertising.

Updates for three games: “Life Restart Simulator”, “2048” and “FLAPPY BIRD”.

Taking care of old players is one consideration, and erasing the disharmonious black history is another consideration.

Only this time, Lin Hui didn’t think too much about making money.

Of course it’s good to make money, and the more money, the better.

Therefore, Lin Hui thought that he could just do whatever he wanted in terms of publicity, just do some publicity and be done with it.

Lin Hui decided to just post a random Weibo/blog post about the lottery and simply publicize it.

As for raffle prizes?

Lin Hui originally wanted to put the ten tickets to the 2014 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference into a lottery.

But thinking about it, such a prize is a bit tasteless after all.

An occasion like the Worldwide Developers Conference, although it is a good growth opportunity for technical staff to participate in such an event where more than a thousand Apple engineers and designers are directly involved.

But objectively speaking, for ordinary netizens, even if they get tickets, it seems to be of little significance.

On the contrary, it is possible that tickets suddenly falling from the sky may create demand even if there is no demand, and ultimately add unnecessary expenses.

This defeats the purpose of the lottery.
