Time Travel: 2014

After all, the data provided by third-party platforms generally has a certain lag.

Dong Jiaqi estimates that the actual effective downloads may have exceeded 10 million times.

Although Lin Hui had previously achieved a very high number of effective downloads for the game "HILL CLIMB RACING".

However, the effective download volume of such a game that achieves its main revenue through in-game purchases is not very informative.

However, the effective downloading of a small game like "T-rex's Journey" with a buyout system is almost directly linked to the income.

According to the effective download of 3 US dollars per time, the effective download is 10 million times.

Wouldn’t the total revenue of such an inconspicuous little game reach 30 million US dollars?

Well, even if calculated based on a 70% share.

The forest ash share will also be more than 20 million US dollars.

Excluding all kinds of messy development expenses and various taxes, Dong Jiaqi estimates that Lin Hui's actual income will exceed 15 million US dollars.

The actual income from forest ash is definitely higher.

Dong Jiaqi also has contact with many game developers and knows a little about game development.

Although GRAY FOREST paid great attention to the details of the game "T-rex's Journey", Dong Jiaqi felt that it was not very strenuous when it came to game development.

After all, the operation logic of this dinosaur mini-game like "T-rex's Journey" is very simple. The little dinosaur in the game seems to be running all the time, but in fact it is just jumping up and down. What is actually moving is a canvas with random cacti. To operate the little dinosaur, you only need two buttons up and down.

When it comes to things like day and night alternation, collision detection, etc., these things are easy to waste time for beginners, but these things are definitely not a big problem for GRAY FOREST.

Anyway, Dong Jiaqi feels that if a game like "T-rex's Journey" is developed by GRAY FOREST, both the development difficulty and the development cost will not be too high.

Based on this, Dong Jiaqi felt that Lin Hui's after-tax income might be more than 15 million US dollars.

Thinking that a game like "T-rex's Journey" that has taken tens of millions of dollars overseas is probably just a recreational thing that GRAY FOREST tinkered with after dinner, Dong Jiaqi was very moved. Is the gap between people really important? So big!

Especially since she has almost witnessed the growth of GRAY FOREST in the field of game development, Dong Jiaqi is even more emotional.

It seems that all I can do is sigh feebly. As for chasing, it is impossible.

Now the gap between Dong Jiaqi and GRAY FOREST is already quite big.

The gap between this made Dong Jiaqi feel extremely desperate.

Of course, this despair is only a short moment.

After realizing that even if he wins a million dollars every day, he cannot catch up with GRAY FOREST.

Dong Jiaqi has turned a blind eye to the so-called gap.

It's not that she is indifferent, it's just that Dong Jiaqi knows not to be stupid enough to create unrealistic and unnecessary pain for herself.

…

At eight o'clock in the evening on June 28th, Imperial City time, Lin Hui had finished processing the recent backlog of emails.

At this time, he was browsing Weibo idly.

Because of the updates to several past games, Lin Hui once again appeared on Weibo/Bo/hot searches.

The topic "GRAY FOREST game update" ranked ninth on the hot list.

The reborn people seem to have a hotly searched physique.

If you make some noise, it will be easy for it to be widely known?

Lin Hui, who has always had a hot-searched physique, is no longer surprised to see the hot search on Weibo again and again.

Lin Hui has no interest in participating in the hot list of "GRAY FOREST Game Update".

However, Lin Hui was more interested in the topic "Are games a product or a work?" which also ranked third on the hot list.

However, after clicking in, I looked at Lin Hui for a while and realized it.

It turns out that the topic "Is a game a product or a work?" is also related to my recent game update.

After Lin Hui recently updated several games, a game blogger with the ID "Hamster Never Sleeps" posted a long Weibo/blog/:

"GRAY FOREST has once again updated the three games "Life Restart Simulator", "2048" and "FLAPPY BIRD".

When it comes to the updates to the last two games, the changes are not big, but the changes to the game "Life Restart Simulator" are quite big.

Although judging from the version number, this new version of "Life Restart Simulator" is named 2.1. Compared with the previous version 2.0 of "Life Restart Simulator", it seems that this time is just a minor version change. In version 2.1 The corresponding description in the update notes is not too exaggerated, just a decent description:

——Optimized the story line content, added the "Witch" story content, added the "Cultivation of Immortality" story content, added new branch lines and new achievements, and fixed known bugs.

The mediocre description cannot affect the fact that this version update is quite conscientious.

After some friends and I tried playing the 2.1 version of "Life Restart Simulator", we found that in the new version of "Life Restart Simulator", GRAY FOREST has added 300 events for the "Witch" branch. At the same time, GRAY FOREST has also added 300 events to the "Cultivation of Immortality" branch. In addition to supplementing the events in the "Witch" branch and the "Cultivation of Immortality" branch, there are now some new branch plots in "Life Restart Simulator" .

Regarding these branch contents, I will not spoil them here. Those who are interested can explore on their own or follow the WeChat public account of the same name and reply to "Latest Update of Life Restart Simulator" to get all new branch plots and new game event content.

For the new branch of the game "Life Restart Simulator", GRAY FOREST, many new events have been added as plot supplements.

The total number of events in "Life Restart Simulator" has now reached nearly 3,000, and it may actually be more than 3,000. So far, my friends and I have discovered more than 2,800 in total.

In addition to the increase in the number of events, some content that was unclear in some previous events has also been more fully elaborated in GRAY FOREST.

GRAY FOREST's update to the game "Life Restart Simulator" this time is not a simple spoon-feeding update. When quantitative changes accumulate to a certain extent, qualitative changes will occur.

Because of the increase in the total number of game events and the more detailed descriptions of old events in the 2.1 update of the game "Life Restart Simulator", the current "Life Restart Simulator" whether it is the "Witch" branch or the "Cultivation of Immortality" "Whether it is a branch line or a completely new branch line, the completeness of the story involving the different life trajectories of the game protagonist is much stronger than before.

In the past, part of the evolution of life in the game "Life Restart Simulator" often gave people a rather nonsensical or even quite absurd feeling. Although it is often said that life is impermanent, even the most nonsensical and absurd life is likely to be. It is a real life, but we players still hope that the sequence of development of events is logical, can withstand scrutiny, and has a certain degree of logic in succession and transition. "
