Crossover: 2014

Chapter 112 Genius Must Be Different
……

Anyway, Lin Hui also decided to limit the exemption of the game "Hill Climb Racing" after it was launched.

In this case, the pricing of the game can be arranged at will.

However, Lin Hui felt that the specific price of the game should be a little higher.

One is to let players know that the game "Hill Climb Racing" is inherently more valuable than the previous games developed by Lin Hui.

Second, it is necessary to give players a feeling that encountering the exemption period is blood earning.

Based on these two considerations, Lin Hui set the price of the domestic version of the game at 30 yuan, while the overseas version was priced at 12.99 US dollars.

Then there is the introduction of the game.

In the introduction part of the game content, Lin Hui truthfully described:
"Play the original classic Hill Climb Racing! Fight your way up hills in this physics-based driving game! Playable offline!
Meet Newton Beale, the young aspiring uphill racer.He's about to embark on a journey that will take him where he hasn't been before.From Ragnarok to nuclear/power plants, everything is a racing track for Bill.With so much ambition, Bill won't rest until he conquers the tallest hill on the moon!
Face driving challenges with unique offroad environments and many different cars.Earn bonuses for daring tricks and collect coins to upgrade your car and drive further.But be careful that although the car is very strong, Bill is very fragile, don't let Bill suffer fatal injuries; in addition, be careful that Bill's old car will easily run out of fuel..."

After completing the introduction of the basic content of the game in a satisfactory manner.

As for the rest of the promotional slogans, Lin Hui is not so subtle.

Anyway, there is no such strict advertising law as in the previous life these days, so how to gain attention under a certain logic:
"This game has the most realistic physics, and you will experience an unprecedented driving experience in Hill Climb Racing!"

"It's a new version of the ship you've never played before!"

"..."

After completing the introduction of the Chinese part, Lin Hui translated these introductions into corresponding English and put them in the introduction of the overseas version of "Hill Climb Racing".

As for the launch date, Lin Hui decided to arrange it in mid-July.

At that time, Lin Hui should have just returned from overseas.

After that, Lin Hui uploaded the game to Apple's app store, waiting for approval.

Although this process will definitely be known by Apple.

But it doesn't matter, according to the details of the previously signed cooperation agreement.

Apple must keep strictly confidential the production cycle of Lin Hui's game, game development habits, and the content of the game (without plans to go online within 10 days).

But in any contract, the provisions are two-way.

Lin Hui also has no right to disclose to the outside world the operating rules of the Apple AppStore and the details of the appStore and developers.

If either party A and Party B breach the contract, they will face high liquidated damages.

Of course, this is also based on the premise of complying with the minimum business rules.

If you encounter a master who flips the table at every turn, no contract is useless.

(ps: ... Some Party A in China: lz has breached the contract, welcome to file a lawsuit)
After "Hill Climb Racing" was launched, both domestic and overseas versions quickly passed the AppStore review.

Lin Hui noticed that the overseas version of "Hill Climb Racing" was classified as 9+.

Although unlike "2048", it is classified as "harmless to humans and animals" 4+, but 9+ is much better than the situation where Lin Hui's RR was classified as 17+.

It wasn't long before Hill Climb Racing was approved.

Lin Hui received a call from Apple, and the call was from He Yue.

When negotiating with Apple in the morning, Apple's negotiators were headed by this person.

Lin Hui remembered that this person mentioned in her self-introduction that she was in Apple's wireless software technology department.

But Lin Hui didn't know exactly what it was doing.

There are many departments in large companies in the IT industry, and there are countless tasks.

The names of many departments are very strange, and sometimes the same department name may actually be responsible for the opposite content in different companies.

The same wireless software technology department may be engaged in 5G in Juchang, and may be engaged in infrared remote controls in grocery stores.

As for what Apple's wireless software technology department does within Apple, Lin Hui is not too clear.

Lin Hui was quite impressed by He Yue.

Although this person did not speak much during the morning negotiations, the final decision is often made by this person.

Now, as a representative of Apple, He Yue asked Lin Hui why he didn't arrange to go online as soon as possible?
Because of the contractual constraints, Lin Hui has nothing to hide from Apple's staff.

After expressing his concerns, he learned that Lin Hui was worried that the game would be criticized by the outside world if it was launched too frequently.

He Yue disagrees: "..."

According to what He Yue said, a genius should be different.

And Lin Hui should be that unique genius.

According to He Yue's words, with Lin Hui's status, there is no need to be intimidated, even if the online game is frequent, so what?

The so-called game development cycle is just an excuse for ordinary developers to follow the old ways.

And to be a genius developer is to break through the limitations of traditional game development...

It does make sense.

In the past, Lin Hui was just an unknown individual developer.

It may be easy to be criticized if you don't shrink your feet.

But now, Lin Hui is one of the few extraordinary and outstanding individual developers in the world.

Internationally, Lin Hui has just won the Apple Design Award, the highest award in the industry.

In the field of domestic game development, Lin Hui is a leader among individual developers.

In this case, it is not an exaggeration to say that Lin Hui is the No. 1 in the industry among individual game developers.

What's the use of pretending to be a grandson in this situation?

Even if you do nothing, you will still attract the attention of all parties.

In short, He Yue suggested that Lin Hui arrange for the game to be released immediately.

Taking advantage of the launch on the eve of the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, it is easy to maintain the popularity.

In addition, through He Yue's words, Lin Hui also captured an important message.

Although Lin Hui released a variety of games in a short period of time and achieved great results.

But it has never been the fastest to release games in the AppStore.

In this time and space, there is an individual developer who actually launched 11 games on the AppStore within a week.

No one can break this record so far. Although the results of these games are mediocre, there are such precedents.

Lin Hui doesn't need to worry about anything, just do it and it's over.

Lin Hui resolutely chose to launch "Hill Climb Racing" immediately.

And checked the Apple platform exclusive, the exclusive period is 6 months (ps:... see the author's words)

In this way, Lin Hui automatically owns 85% of the initial share.

As for the promotional aspects, follow the previous agreement details.

After the game developed by Lin Hui chooses to be exclusive on the Apple platform, then Apple should invest more resources in the promotion of the game.

Not only is it limited to the internal promotion of the AppStore, but Apple is also responsible for the promotion of other platforms in the Internet environment.

(When the platform is responsible for publicity, the cost is not as high as that spent by individuals, and it doesn’t even need to spend money. Sometimes it’s just a matter of mentioning each other.)

In short, having a platform to come forward will undoubtedly greatly ease the burden that Lin Hui faces in terms of publicity.

After choosing Go Live Now.It didn't take long before Lin Hui saw that "Hill Climb Racing" was launched in the Apple App Store.

And I'm ash found in the search bar inside Apple's AppStore.

There is a line of light-colored words in it:
——Hill Climb Racing

Guys, doesn't this mean when the user clicks into the AppStore.

Even if the user does not enter anything, just click the search button and it will automatically jump to the "Hill Climb Racing" interface.

Uh, this, is this the treatment after the py transaction?
It was arranged clearly.

　ps: ... As for why only the ios version is developed... It's really no wonder that the author pg is not correct. The domestic "lone wolf" really does not do Android development as everyone thinks, but most of them also do Google play, that is Software development for that app store that was blocked out.As for the development of domestic APPs, there are generally very few domestic Android apps developed by themselves. In the domestic environment, software makes money, not to mention making money, and users think you are wrong) 17 years ago, he was indeed engaged in technology, and he was not very famous in the society. Since 17, he has been the senior vice president of Apple & the managing director of Greater China. The article does not completely describe the reality, but abstracts it and puts it in the story to act as an NPC. , there won't be too many scenes

　　[About the plot arrangement, don't rush me to progress, I feel that there is nothing wrong with the progress, at most it will be over if you have more code words]
