Time Travel: 2014

In addition, from a design and development perspective, the fact that the gameplay is simple yet successful is a big deal in itself.

If you really want to pursue complexity, just make some crazy updates later and you'll be done.

The ultimate simplicity, compared to the complicated and complicated gameplay, it is not easy to achieve the ultimate simplicity.

Anyway, some time ago, I accidentally talked about the game "T-rex's Journey" with Elizabeth Neesi.

Elizabeth Nice admires the design concepts used by Lin Hui in the game "T-rex's Journey".

There are many people like Elizabeth Nice who hold this view.

Anyway, many game reviews praised the design method used by Lin Hui in "T-rex's Journey" as "a post-modern minimalist style game design" and "a great attempt at game design language"...

Is this such bottomless flattery?

It is also understandable that such commentaries are always keen on praising the high and undermining the low.

Now, although there is no bottom line in boasting,

But Lin Hui could also imagine that once he overturned, these people would probably spray him the most.

But it doesn’t matter, why do Internet literary routines like all kinds of comebacks against the wind?

It’s because comebacks against the wind are relatively rare in reality.

In reality, what successful people do are highly similar, and it’s nothing more than snowballing.

After accumulating the first success, keep snowballing to achieve bigger snowballs (that is, new successes).

Lin Hui's current series of successes has created quite a snowball.

It will only become easier to accumulate strength in the future.

As long as Lin Hui doesn't die and collide with a bigger snowball.

So basically, success will always be with Lin Hui.

Except for the changes in the amounts on the two bank cards, 6699 and 0010.

Lin Hui noticed that his income from overseas online articles also increased slightly.

However, although the income from online writing has also increased, the cumulative income from online writing after Lin Hui's rebirth has not exceeded US$1.5 million.

Even so, writing online articles was an unintentional move by Lin Hui.

Therefore, Lin Hui doesn't pay too much attention to the amount of income from online articles.

Although Lin Hui's current income is very gratifying, it does not mean that Lin Hui can sit back and relax.

Not to mention the distant future, let’s talk about the recent past, Lin Hui needs to find new cash cows.

After all, the market for South Wind Pro has quickly reached saturation.

The current download volume of the game "T-rex's Journey" is also very close to Lin Hui's previous estimated download volume.

Although the media is still crazy about the results of the game "T-rex's Journey".

But judging from Lin Hui’s past experience in buying out games.

Potential users of buyout games generally purchase the game within 48 hours of its launch, that is, within two days before the game is launched.

Those who didn't buy it within 48 hours either had no interest at all or were just cloud players.

Otherwise, just start from other channels.

As for the effectiveness of this other channel, Lin Hui said it was not very good.

The universal seller on a certain website seems to know these better.

But no matter what channel it is, as long as it is not a formal official channel.

It is destined to have nothing to do with Lin Hui.

Even now, there is no shortage of media that are brainlessly hyping the game "T-rex's Journey".

But Lin Hui knows very well that after 48 hours, the income corresponding to such a buyout game that lacks connotation will actually be quite limited.

In short, from Lin Hui's point of view, it is impossible to expect the two products of South Wind Pro and "T-rex's Journey" to make as much money as tens of millions of dollars as before.

If this happens, it won't be long before Lin Hui has no software that can become a "cash cow".

How can you happily count money without a cash cow?

But what about cash cows?

This is a problem.

Thinking of the recent email sent to him by Time Magazine.

Lin Hui was deep in thought and seemed to suddenly catch a flash of light.

It seems to be an inspiration to make money.

…

At around 10 a.m. on June 30, Lin Hui received a call from Huang Jing.

As soon as the call was connected, Huang Jing heard congratulations: "I also said that your newly launched mini game is not a hit, but now its revenue has exceeded 50 million US dollars. Congratulations!"

Lin Hui said: "Thank you, but it is only possible to achieve such a high revenue.

This is also due to you. If you hadn't suggested that I increase the selling price, I wouldn't have been able to support such a high revenue scale now. "

Lin Hui's words are not entirely modest, although there is also a saying of "small profits but quick turnover" in gaming.

But if Lin Hui originally sold it at a selling price of US$1.

Even the effective downloads have doubled compared to now.

Its total revenue is still not as high as that corresponding to a selling price of $3.

Naturally, Huang Jing did not take any credit for Lin Hui's praise.

Huang Jing was even moved after hearing Lin Hui's heartfelt emotion.

Huang Jing indeed once suggested that Lin Hui adjust the pricing of the game "T-rex's Journey".

At the beginning, Huang Jing said that dinosaur culture has a large audience overseas, and Lin Hui could definitely raise the price.

In fact, Huang Jing's suggestion to ask Lin Hui to adjust the selling price was just a casual suggestion, but unexpectedly, it was unintentional.

To be honest, Huang Jing was not very optimistic about the game "T-rex's Journey" made by Lin Hui.

In order to avoid the dismal sales of the game "T-rex's Journey", Lin Hui's self-confidence was suppressed.

Huang Jing then suggested that Lin Hui increase the overseas sales price of the game "T-rex's Journey".

After all, if the game "T-rex's Journey" were still priced at $1.

Only by selling tens of millions of copies of "T-rex's Journey" can the game achieve a turnover of over 10 million US dollars.

And if the price is $3, if you sell three to four million copies of the game "T-rex's Journey", the turnover will easily exceed ten million dollars.

Although Lin Hui's reputation is already great.

But when it comes to real money, the appeal of fame is actually very mysterious.

Anyway, Huang Jing is absolutely Lin Hui, even if she has charisma.

But not just any game can have the appeal to sell tens of millions of copies.

However, Huang Jing felt that it was because of Lin Hui’s reputation accumulated from previous games such as "HILL CLIMB RACING".

Even if the price is slightly increased, it will not be difficult for Lin Hui's new game to reach three to four million effective downloads.

If the game "T-rex's Journey" can reach three to four million effective downloads, the price will be slightly increased.

In this way, even if the market response to the game "T-rex's Journey" is cold, it seems to be nothing.

After all, even with three to four million effective downloads, the game "T-rex's Journey" can still generate tens of millions of dollars in revenue.

Although Lin Hui has created many miracles in the past, it was not just Huang Jing who was not optimistic about the game "T-rex's Journey".

Many game reviewers are also not particularly optimistic about Lin Hui's latest game.
