Chapter 369 Targeting overseas markets

Many overseas game analysts believe that unless Lin Gray makes games of the level of "HILL CLIMB RACING" in the future, even if GRAY FOREST makes new games, they will probably only be able to gain a foothold in the $1 price range.

.

I never expected that Lin Hui would show his ability to get involved in higher-priced buyout games so quickly.

You must know that monetizing through game buyout may seem tempting.

But more than half of the buyout games in the app store are priced at 6 yuan, or 1 US dollar.

There are not many games priced at $3 or more.

Judging from Lin Hui’s ability to get involved in higher-priced buyout games.

Huang Jing feels that Lin Hui can reach great heights even if he only focuses on the field of independent game production.

Judging from Huang Jing’s understanding of Lin Hui.

Lin Hui's ideal is quite grand.

Huang Jing knew that Lin Hui's goal was far beyond the limits of the small world of gaming.

Huang Jing is also well aware of this.

Huang Jing also looks forward to Lin Hui being able to reach a wider world in the future.

Is there anything more fulfilling than witnessing a great person in the future grow up and ascend to the altar?

The expression "ascend to the altar" may have a strong divine connotation.

However, Huang Jing does not think her idea is exaggerated.

Although it is not very clear Lin Hui’s status in the field of algorithms.

But Huang Jing is still very clear about Lin Hui's status in terms of games.

It can be said that Lin Hui is actually a "god" in the field of domestic game development.

In the past, Lin Hui made a lot of money by making a bunch of small games such as "2048" and "FLAPPY BIRD".

But this does not mean that Lin Hui stole money from other developers.

On the contrary, judging from the research of Apple's marketing department.

When Lin Hui released the game, the total game revenue in the App Store during the same period was much higher.

In other words, when Lin Hui released the game, the "market" was larger at the same time.

Measured in this way, in a sense, it can be said that Lin Hui is the one who makes the big cake.

Lin Hui almost single-handedly proved to domestic game developers that independent game development is not only possible.

And it can go very far.

The most important thing is that Lin Hui's appearance seems to "prove" that the threshold for independent game development is not high.

Forehead……

Although Huang Jing knew that Lin Hui's strength was far beyond what ordinary high school graduates could match.

But people who don’t know the inside story of Lin Hui’s past achievements will only see:

——After graduating from high school, a certain person made a few small games out of boredom and immediately became a hit, earning tens of millions of dollars.

This alone is enough for many people who think they are good at it or who are simply brave to devote themselves to independent game development.

Especially recently, there was a video on YouTube titled "How profitable is game development? One line of code for GRAY FOREST's new game is worth $10,000."

After the producer of the video learned that the revenue of GRAY FOREST's "T-rex's Journey", a dinosaur mini-game, exceeded US$30 million.

I analyzed GRAY FOREST's "T-rex's Journey" and came up with a demo.

Judging from the demo, all the project files for "T-rex's Journey" including the UI and the core gameplay of the game are completed in more than 3,000 lines of code.

Simple division, almost one line of code corresponds to ten thousand dollars.

Hence the title "How profitable is game development? One line of code for GRAY FOREST's new game is worth $10,000."

Although the video producer also said that GRAY FOREST was able to bring in $10,000 in revenue with one line of code largely because of its strong personal appeal.

But many video viewers don’t have so much logic in their minds.

After watching the video, many viewers only have one sentence left in their minds: "One line of code for game development costs $10,000."

Such a video went viral and even reached 17 million views on YouTube.

Now I don’t know how many people who have nothing to do with game development have to be fooled into the trap.

Huang Jing really wants to know, but those who fall into the trap with dreams of getting rich will have crazy expressions when they wake up from their dreams.

But I guess it’s not that easy to wake up from the dream.

It is not that easy for people with dreams of getting rich to wake up from their dreams by constantly hypnotizing themselves.

…

Speaking of which, Huang Jing had another reason for calling Lin Hui this time.

At least Huang Jing didn't specifically congratulate Lin Hui on the game "T-rex's Journey".

Huang Jing knew that for Lin Hui, this rapid increase in income was still gratifying.

But it definitely won’t let Lin Hui stop there.

Lin Hui's vision is obviously more long-term.

The main purpose of Huang Jing's call to Lin Hui this time was to report to Lin Hui the progress of the online office system leasing.

So after briefly chatting a few words about the game "T-rex's Journey".

Huang Jing chatted with Lin Hui about online office work.

Huang Jing has already conducted preliminary negotiations with the overseas team regarding the leasing of the "F.FSG" online office software.

The main purpose of Huang Jing's phone call was to give Lin Hui feedback on the results of the negotiations. At the same time, Huang Jing wanted to know Lin Hui's next plan.

When it comes to online office work, in fact, Lin Hui did not specifically tinker with online office software in his previous life.

However, this does not prevent Lin Hui from expressing his own opinions on online office.

If you have never eaten pork, you will have seen pigs running away.

Lin Hui has used similar online office software/online office systems in his previous life.

Lin Hui is still very clear about some common shortcomings or disadvantages of online office software/online office systems in his previous life.

Speaking of the past life, the reason why many companies chose to work online was because many companies had no choice but to do so.

When facing certain special circumstances, people are not allowed to gather, and the normal operation of the enterprise requires countless technical personnel to carry out daily operations.

In this case, online office software/online office system has become the last resort for wage earners.

Speaking of which, the earliest online office software/online office system in the previous life was actually quite informal.

Because in the previous life, the earliest online office in China was not entirely focused on office work.

When many people turn their attention to online office work, it is just to meet urgent needs.

The earliest online offices were mainly used for online meetings.

In the early days, this kind of online communication was completely realized by WeChat groups and QQ groups.

Although instant messaging software like WeChat and Penguin can provide online meeting functions to a certain extent.

But just online meetings are not everything online working is.

As enterprises’ demands for online office tasks further escalate.

Enterprises began to turn to professional office software such as Dingding and Feishui.

Lin Hui is really not impressed by the professional capabilities advertised by this type of professional office software.

Lin Hui feels that it is better to call this type of software professional office software.

It is more appropriate to call it a general office software.

This type of software is called general office software rather than professional office software.

It's because based on Lin Hui's actual experience in using it in his previous life, this type of software is not very professional.

Especially when these softwares were first launched, even the most basic general office functions were just like a coffee break.

Software such as Dingding and Feimao always felt useless when they were first used for online office work in special periods.

Although this kind of software that focuses on efficiency can meet certain online office needs.

It can only play a certain role in online meetings, check-in, and document synchronization.

For more complex work content, it simply cannot be satisfied online.

Even in many cases, when faced with some complex work tasks, the performance of online office software is quite useless.

Anyway, Lin Hui's work in his previous life was difficult to handle using this kind of online office software.

Unfortunately, even Lin Hui's domestic online office software before time travel did not solve the corresponding problems properly.
