Time Travel: 2014

How to invest in the future.

Lin Hui feels that the most important thing now is to give back to the player community.

He now has such a huge fortune.

This is largely due to the player base.

As for the form of feedback.

Lin Hui wants to do it through a lottery.

Just after entering the Weibo lottery interface, Lin Hui noticed a message.

Weibo reminded him that he had recently posted an invalid lottery draw.

(⊙﹏⊙), saw this message.

Lin Hui couldn't help but feel a little strange.

After reading the details of the message, Lin Hui remembered that the reason for the invalid lottery was because of the game "FLAPPY BIRD".

Although the price of this game has now returned to 6 yuan, when it was first launched, it was limited to free in the domestic AppStore.

It is precisely because this software was previously limited to free.

Therefore, the 100 "FLAPPY BIRD" redemption codes he previously held in the domestic warm-up lottery are directly equivalent to being worthless.

Therefore, although the previous lottery was carried out normally.

However, after it ended, the lottery was deemed invalid by the Weibo system.

Well, this is more embarrassing.

I wonder if the players who have drawn some useless redemption codes are in a good mood now?

Lin Hui was quite embarrassed about this little situation.

So I posted on Weibo.

It means that those who have received the "FLAPPY BIRD" redemption code in the previous lottery can replace the redemption code with the developer code of GRAY FOREST.

If you are not interested in the developer code, you can also choose the 88 yuan cash red envelope.

The so-called "developer code" did not exist in the previous life. It is a redemption code unique to this world.

You can use this redemption code to download all applications developed by the corresponding developer in the AppStore.

Although this kind of redemption code does not work for in-app purchases.

But this redemption code still has its own unique features.

Bind the AppStore account with this code.

Not only can it redeem (correspond to) all applications that developers have developed.

When developers develop new applications in the future, the account bound to the code can also be redeemed directly.

The weirdest thing is that even software that developers take the initiative to remove from the shelves.

The account bound to the code can also be redeemed.

In this way, after having a developer's development code.

It can basically be said that the (corresponding) developer has been confirmed.

Lin Hui felt that using this development code could still make up for the negligence in the lottery Weibo he posted before.

However, compared to developer code.

Obviously the 88 yuan red envelope is more attractive.

Only 6 people chose to replace the redemption code of the game "FLAPPY BIRD" with the GRAY FOREST development code.

The remaining 94 people all chose the 88 yuan red envelope.

For these people.

At present, the total value of all the software Lin Hui has put on the shelves in China is only 18 yuan.

It’s definitely not as cost-effective as 88 yuan.

But Lin Hui didn't think so.

Although these development codes look ordinary now.

But Lin Hui's intuition told him that this thing would definitely have great use in the future.

A choice for fans who have won previous prizes.

Lin Hui was so happy.

Although he paid 8272 yuan.

But it saves you the trouble of sending development code.

And Lin Hui himself doesn’t have a lot of development code.

As an individual developer, he will receive one hundred development codes for every high-quality APP he develops.

In other words, Lin Hui, who has 3 high-quality APPs, sent out 6 development codes.

He now only has 294 development codes left.

After compensating the users who were tricked in the previous round of lottery.

Lin Hui conducted another lottery to give back to the player base.

Although Lin Hui knows that what many gamers actually want is game updates and the like.

But Lin Hui had no time to make any updates in a short period of time.

So it's better to be simple and crude.

As for the prize, it is to avoid the embarrassing situation last time.

Lin Hui directly chose to draw 2,048 18 yuan red envelopes this time.

The reason why 2048 were drawn is naturally because of "2048".

As for why the red envelope value is set to 18 yuan.

Because it just so happens that Lin Hui currently sells all the mini-games released in China for a combined price of 18 yuan.

Fortunately, in this time and space, the Weibo lottery seems to have certain restrictions on the total amount of the lottery and the amount of a single prize.

However, there are no strict restrictions on the number of prizes released at one time.

Otherwise, if he could only give out a hundred red envelopes at a time, Lin Hui might have to change his strategy.

Of course, Lin Hui's current strategy is not perfect either.

After all, the lottery cannot benefit everyone.

But a lot of things turn out to be unimportant.

The important thing is just to show a gesture of giving back to gamers.

…

Lin Hui's number of fans was already close to 100,000.

After posting the lottery Weibo.

Soon his number of fans exceeded 100,000.

Lin Hui did not go offline after that.

Instead, I continued to browse Weibo for a while.

Although it has been a day since the game "FLAPPY BIRD" was released.

But its popularity is still there.

After all, the game "FLAPPY BIRD" was so popular when it was first launched.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it triggered public opinion across the Internet.

So much so that topics related to this game still occupy two hot searches:

# GRAY FOREST’s new game “FLAPPY BIRD” has been downloaded over 30 million times

# Who is GRAY FOREST?

Lin Hui was not surprised by the first hot search.

For the second hot search.

Lin Hui really doesn't understand why he needs to know the developer if he just wants to play games.

Do you need to know chickens to eat eggs?

Very speechless. . .

After that, Lin Hui continued to reply to many private messages.

Of course, even though I replied a lot.

Lin Hui just carried it back.

After all, he couldn't cover everything.

Moreover, Lin Hui really didn’t know how to reply to some people’s private messages.

Although I don’t know how to respond to objective criticism.

Lin Hui accepted it humbly.

Various illustrations sent to some fanatic fans.

Lin Hui was speechless. . .

I have to say that reading private messages is also a very energy-consuming task.

Maybe someday I can write a tool to crawl messages in python.

This can at least improve reading efficiency.

After roughly replying to some private messages, Lin Hui noticed that Melancholy’s swimming fish was also online.

He almost subconsciously clicked on Melancholy's homepage.

The first two times Lin Hui launched the game.

The melancholic swimming fish can always send out strategies as soon as possible.

For the game "Life Restart Simulator".

The melancholy fish even recounted all the events in the game.

Regarding the past performance of melancholic swimming fish.

One word, strong.

Two words, powerful.

Although Melancholic Fish has shown a strong level of game analysis and game strategies in the past.

But this time Lin Hui felt that the melancholy fish might suffer.

Melancholy's profile on Weibo talks about speed-running various mini-games.

But the game "FLAPPY BIRD" has no ending at all.

For games with no ending.

Why speed pass?

And when it comes to strategies, it’s also difficult to get started.

Anyway, Lin Hui didn’t know what the strategy was for the game “FLAPPY BIRD”.

Lin Hui really wanted to know how Melancholic Fish would introduce the strategy for the game "FLAPPY BIRD".

Or should I just avoid the game "FLAPPY BIRD" if I am depressed about this game?
