Crossover: 2014

Chapter 14 Developer Incentive Program

During the same period, Dong Jiaqi was not the only one who published analysis articles.

Many practitioners in the game industry have also written analysis/commentary articles and published them externally.

Although different people have mixed reviews for this game.

But no matter whether you step on it or blow it up, if there is controversy, there will be topicality.

If there is topicality, it will increase the popularity of this game.

As expected, the download of "Life Reopening Simulator" reached a new peak on the afternoon of the 10th.

At 6:10 on the evening of June 23th, Lin Hui looked at the background data of his personal development account.

游戏从9号21：30正式上线到10号的21:30。

In these 24 hours, the number of effective downloads of this game has directly exceeded 100 million, reaching an astonishing 167 million!
Although it still hasn't caught up with the sales of the previous domestic game "Don't Step on White Blocks".

But the two are not a concept at all.

"Don't Step on White Pieces" is a free game, but this game developed by Lin Hui is a buyout game.

The former is a free download.

The latter download requires the player to pay 6 yuan.

This means that based on the current effective downloads, the latter's sales on the first day will exceed [-] million.

The editors on CU did not know how to get the download data of this game.

Exaggerated titles have been used to attract attention:
"Shock!The sales volume of a domestic mobile game exceeded [-] million on the first day of its launch! "

"Reveal the truth about the tens of millions of Chinese people's property being swept away by foreign/capital giants, the story behind it is silent! "

"Because of the gullible belief that life can be restarted, domestic game players collectively contributed tens of millions! "

……

These irresponsible reports did not arouse Lin Hui's interest. At this time, he still cared more about his income.

According to the rules of splitting accounts between αpple and developers.

Lin Hui's first-day income through "Life Reopening Simulator" can reach 701.4 million yuan.

What can you do with more than 700 million?

Hoard coins?
Unfortunately, even if you can afford it, now is not the best time to enter the market.

On February 2014 this year (2), Mt.Gox, the world's largest BTC trading platform, suddenly declared bankruptcy.

The reason is that 10 BTCs of its own and 75 BTCs of users were stolen.

The impact of this incident was very bad.

Since then, the market has continued to slump, BTC has started a long-term downward trend, and the market has continued to slump.

BTC fell to $15 in August 8.

But now the unit price of BTC is around $650.

It is more cost-effective to start in about 15 years than to start now.

Dig mine is pretty good, and Lin Hui has an advantage in terms of the right time and place.

"Tianshi": At this time, the general environment basically turned a blind eye to this matter, and it has not been explicitly prohibited as in later generations.

"Geographical advantage": The area where the forest ash is located has excess thermal power, and the cost of electricity has always been low, and the cost of electricity in winter is the lowest in China.

But on the contrary, people and aspects are a bit unsatisfactory. After all, Lin Hui is about to enter university.

It is impossible to take care of this thing every day.

But it won't work if you don't take care of it.

A bunch of electric tigers operate 24 hours a day, Lin Hui can't bear the responsibility if there is a safety accident or something!

……

While thinking wildly, Lin Hui received a bunch of SMS notifications from the bank:

"Dear customer, your China Merchants Bank card with the end number 6699 received a transfer of 6 yuan at 10:23 on June 33, and the current balance of the card is 8 yuan."

(ps: The daily settlement set in the book, in reality, even the buyout system app development is not so happy to get income, although it can't be said to be particularly troublesome, but at least it takes a lot of trouble)
"Dear customer, your current deposit amount has met the conditions for account upgrade, and the service level has been automatically upgraded for you..."

"Dear honored customer, hello, I..."

Although there were a lot of news, Lin Hui was more concerned about the first message at this time.

Why did I receive more than 862 million yuan, instead of the 701.6 million yuan estimated by Lin Hui before.

Mistake on the part of the bank?
Or is there an extra income of more than 160 million?
Looking at the income details in the background of the personal developer account, Lin Hui realized that the extra money was all incentive income.

This really made Lin Hui a little confused.

After all, iOS in the previous world did not have so-called incentives?

So what exactly is incentive income in this world?
At this time, Lin Huimeng suddenly remembered the notice sent to him by the iOS App Store - "Hi, dear developer, you have successfully joined the AppStore Individual Developer Incentive Program. For details, please refer to the link www.<>.com "

Well?
Lin Hui quickly found the notice.

With a hint of doubt, Lin Hui clicked on the link in the notification.

Get started and see what's in the program:
① The App Store is...

(ps: If there is a long section of bragging ratio, many of these support/motivation/promotion plans routinely brag for 3 minutes first)

② The App Store encourages individual developers to create on the iOS platform, and allows App Store users to motivate outstanding individual developers who develop high-quality apps (the incentive income is different from the sharing rules of software sales income, and 100% of the incentive income is equal to Owned by individual developers)
The selection of high-quality APPs is in the charge of the αpple team.

For general APPs, we will score high-quality APPs from several aspects such as UI design, user experience, innovation, uniqueness, accessibility, localization, and App Store product pages.

In particular, for game apps, it will be evaluated from several aspects such as gameplay design, art and animation, control, story and characters (if applicable), replayability (if applicable), sound effects and music, technical performance, overall value, etc. Score to select high-quality APP.

Excellent individual developers who develop 3 or more high-quality APPs each year will also have the opportunity to be selected as outstanding individual developers, receive huge rewards from αpple, and will be invited to participate in the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC)
③...

……

Lin Hui understands, the so-called "incentive" is a bit similar to the appreciation function of the WeChat/Xin official account that appeared in another time and space?
With the existence of this incentive plan, some "vase-like" apps that are well-made but have a relatively small audience seem to be able to live well on appreciation.

……

And the players of "Life Restart Simulator" are too enthusiastic, do you appreciate such a fierce one?

The total amount of appreciation is more than 160 million.

It's not incomprehensible.

The 167 million effective downloads of Lin Hui's game at least means that the game "Life Restart Simulator" has a player base of more than one million.

These millions of players are the ones who can pay to buy games.

It doesn't seem out of the ordinary that some people who are willing to spend money on games will spend money on game appreciation.

However, on the background of the individual developer, although Lin Hui can see the total amount of daily incentives, he cannot see the specific number of each incentive.

Moreover, when Lin Hui tried to log in to the AppStore with his account, he could only see that there were already 6762 compliments, but he also couldn't see the specific number of each compliment.

Is this done to avoid competition among AppStore users?

……

Recalling the developer incentive plan just now, Lin Hui saw that individual developers who develop 3 high-quality apps within a year seem to be able to receive huge rewards.

Ahem, in fact, Lin Hui doesn't care about huge rewards.

Lin Hui is for the opportunity to participate in WWDC, which is an opportunity to pay tribute to the world's outstanding developers!
So what kind of APP can be developed to have a chance to become a high-quality APP?
　The data of game sales in this chapter refers to Qimai Data Network. Qimai Data Network is the former ASO100. Personally, I think the above data is relatively reliable.I am not exaggerating about the income of the game. Many buyout games basically have this income.It's just that income does not equal net profit in reality.For many buyout games with a sales volume of around 700 million, it is considered that the net profit can reach 500 million.After all, the development of a game requires cost, and after it goes online, it needs to be promoted and operated, and many other aspects such as channels also need to spend money.But the tricky game development and zero-cost publicity of the protagonist in this book make this income almost completely equal to net income.

　　There is also the one who told me that there was no anchor for 14 years, and it was listed in YY12. How could there be no anchor in 14?
