Time Travel: 2014 - Chapter 381

c381 inheritance in time and space

Of course, this is just a hypothetical inference.

The fact is that a mediocre and extremely bad game is unlikely to appear as an Easter egg on the Google/Google offline interface.

Except for some unsatisfactory search engines who like to mess around with their own pages.

Internet companies with a slightly normal brain circuit would not add random things to the main interface of their search engines.

Without the help of Internet giants like Google, it would be difficult to reproduce the original success of such a game.

What’s more, Lin Hui tends to think like “pay to buy out” when developing games.

Back then, it was a completely free model.

There is absolutely no comparison with what it was back then.

But it doesn’t matter, it would be nice to have a place.

If you can gain a firm foothold, even if you don’t have hundreds of millions of users, having tens of millions of effective downloads is still a huge profit.

But having said that, launching the “Dinosaur Mini Game” as an independent buyout game would be a bit too thin.

After all, the gameplay of a game like “Dinosaur Mini Game” is still very simple in the final analysis.

It seems unkind to charge for such a simple gameplay, doesn’t it?

But Lin Hui changed his mind.

Could it be that the games he made before were very complicated?

Is the gameplay of a game like “2048” complicated?

Games like FLAPPY BIRD are ridiculously simple, okay?

Isn’t it normal to create a game with simple gameplay now?

As for why Lin Hui’s first reaction was that it was wrong to create a game with such a simple gameplay.

Probably because I have higher demands on myself.

…

It’s a good thing to have higher demands on yourself, but there seems to be no need to struggle with money.

You must know that in the previous life, after the “Dinosaur Mini Game” came out, the monthly active volume could reach 200 million.

Although the so-called “200 million monthly active users” here are only at its peak, even so, it is enough to stand out from the crowd.

Except for some national-level applications or phenomenal-level applications that can easily achieve over 100 million monthly active users, how many apps dare to expect nine-digit monthly active users?

In fact, other applications, let alone over 100 million monthly users, can achieve millions of monthly users, which is enough for developers or project managers to wake up laughing in the middle of the night.

In short, for a game like “Dinosaur Mini Game” that has achieved over 100 million monthly users in its previous life, or an “Easter Egg” application, its potential cannot be underestimated.

Lin Hui felt that if a game like “Dinosaur Mini Game” could be developed in this time and space, it would not be difficult to harvest tens of millions of players even if it could not reach hundreds of millions of monthly users.

This is really not Lin Hui’s bragging. You must know that Lin Hui is no longer an ordinary developer.

As GRAY FOREST, Lin Hui has developed four classic games such as “Life Restart Simulator”, “2048”, “FLAPPY BIRD” and “HILL CLIMB RACING”. Now Lin Hui’s name “GRAY FOREST” itself has It has strong market appeal.

In terms of casual games, Lin Hui almost dominated the App Store game rankings throughout mid-June and late June.

In this case, Lin Hui realized that the game has something other than ordinary “charisma”. It doesn’t seem to be an exaggeration to say that it has “dominance”.

To put it bluntly, even if Lin Hui makes a crappy game and distributes it under the name GRAY FOREST.

There are still countless people who will pay for their feelings.

The idea of ​​”paying for feelings” may be somewhat metaphysical.

But it is undeniable that people often have inertia in their thinking.

When players get used to the argument that the products produced by GRAY FOREST are likely to be high-quality products.

It is very possible to enter GRAY FOREST and play a new game by relying directly on the inertia of thinking.

In addition to these factors, good cooperation with the platform is another reliance of Lin Hui.

Although the current cooperation with the platform is only because of common interests.

But having common interests is enough to influence many things subtly.

Due to the in-depth cooperative relationship between Lin Hui and Pingchen.

Under such circumstances, if Lin Hui wants to come up with a new game, Ping Chi will definitely jump out and endorse Lin Hui.

Even though the strength of such a game may be a bit “virtual”.

But it doesn’t matter, Lin Hui is probably the recommendation with the highest priority.

There may even be a default search treatment in the search bar.

This is not Lin Hui’s blind arrogance. After all, Lin Hui’s ability to attract money as a platform should be obvious to all.

As long as Pingchun’s marketing personnel are not fools, Lin Hui believes that they will do what Lin Hui expects.

Except for the help that may come from the platform.

You should also know that Lin Hui is no longer in the state where he had to resign himself to fate after uploading the game.

Many times, Lin Hui can directly use his money power to spend money on publicity.

What’s more, Lin Hui has always been a person who is good at using new media.

Lin Hui feels that he also has unique advantages in the field of game promotion.

…

In summary, Lin Hui now has a large player base, platform support, and publicity advantages.

In this case, wouldn’t it be easy for Lin Hui to create a game that could attract tens of millions of users?

I have the absolute advantage, how can I lose to the Flying Dragon Rider?

For players with a level of tens of millions, even if the price is set to 6 yuan/0.99 US dollars, it will bring an income of tens of millions to Lin Hui.

Even though Lin Hui now has more than 150 million US dollars in funds, it does not mean that Lin Hui can ignore an income of tens of millions of dollars.

Again, who would think that money is too little?

Taking all things into consideration, Lin Hui felt that he could completely create “Dinosaur Mini Game”, a classic game from his previous life!

And there is another very important reason why the game “Dinosaur Mini Game” attracts Lin Hui.

That means it’s not difficult to reproduce a game like this.

Games like “Dinosaur Mini Game” are actually quite similar from a development perspective to the three games Lin Hui made in the past: “Life Restart Simulator”, “2048” and “FLAPPY BIRD”:

——That is, the trouble when developing a project mainly lies in creativity or positioning, and programming is basically free.

As long as the art resources are available, a small game like “Dinosaur Game” can be easily played by even a computer major student.

This matter is not difficult for a technician like Lin Hui who has a lot of valuable development experience.

The fact was just as Lin Hui thought, after Lin Hui said goodbye to Melancholy Yuyu on Weibo.

After Lin Hui went offline, it took almost no time to successfully reproduce the dinosaur mini-game from his previous life.

Lin Hui is an experienced name-dropper. After the re-release of this “dinosaur mini-game”, Lin Hui still follows the naming of this mini-game in his previous life.

This kind of inheritance can be regarded as an alternative kind of inheritance in time and space.
