Chapter 413 One Line of Code Ten Thousand Dollars(2/2)
Zhu Zhu originally thought that it would be far away from him to realize anything through advertising.
After all, ordinary funders tend to look for YouTubers with more than 100,000 subscribers when promoting through YouTube.
Unexpectedly, when the game "FLAPPY BIRD" was chosen to be promoted online on YouTube, GRAY FOREST would instead focus on a YouTuber with 10,000 subscribers.
Although I don’t know what brain circuit led Gray Forest to make such a choice.
But when Zhu Zhu received the online promotion task for the game "FLAPPY BIRD", he felt very accomplished.
It's probably similar to the feeling of being recognized.
However, after receiving the corresponding promotion task, Zhu Zhu was not entirely happy at the time.
Will I be scolded for accepting the promotion of such a game?
Although Chafan is very common, Zhu Zhu is a technical video blogger after all.
If it happens, will the previous fans just run away?
After a rather complicated psychological conflict.
Zhu Zhu finally decided to take on such a promotion task.
The reason that made Zhu Zhu finally decide to take on such a task was that Zhu Zhu learned that the developer of "FLAPPY BIRD", GRAY FOREST, was an independent developer, and he was not an ordinary small-time independent developer.
He is one of the few well-known independent game developers in China.
Although Zhu Zhu is only a junior student.
But Zhu Zhu can be regarded as a related practitioner in the computer field. Zhu Zhu knows the difficulty of independent developers.
Among various types of developers, independent developers are the most unique.
In particular, the development path of domestic independent developers is even more difficult in Zhu Zhu’s opinion.
Anyway, in his future career planning, Zhu Zhu has thought about many future career development routes, but he has almost never thought about becoming an independent developer.
Even if you think about it occasionally, it will basically nip the relevant thoughts in the bud.
For an independent developer like GRAY FRPRET, Zhu Zhu can’t say that he worships him, but he has some admiration for him.
Zhu Zhu can also help appropriately when he feels he can.
What's more, it's still paid promotion, and it's not a big loss to help with publicity.
Therefore, Zhu Zhu chose to take over the promotion of the game "FLAPPY BIRD".
When promoting, Zhu Zhu paid great attention to technique in order to avoid being accused of wasting money.
When Zhu Zhu was promoting the video at that time, he was mostly deconstructing the technology rather than simply promoting the game itself.
Although Zhu Zhu thinks he pays great attention to promotion techniques.
Anyway, I don’t know how high it is compared to the various malicious structures that eat steamed buns made of human blood after learning about certain painful social events.
In short, Zhu Zhu has been studying GRAY FOREST recently to make this little dinosaur game.
Zhu.Zhu is a purely technical study.
The reason why Zhu Zhu is like this is because Zhu Zhu wants to structure the dinosaur mini game created by GRAY FOREST from a technical level.
In this case, even if Zhu Zhu is not required to create a replica version of the dinosaur mini-game.
In the worst case, I have to create a demo.
Otherwise, let’s not talk about technical deconstruction.
The technical aspect of a game like the Dinosaur Mini Game is not very complicated.
I have watched a lot of game trial videos made by game video authors.
Zhu Zhu has basically understood the content of the dinosaur mini-game designed by GRAY FOREST.
After that, Zhu Zhu went a step further and created a demo.
Although it is said to be a demo, basically both the UI and the core gameplay are very similar to the official version created by GRAY FOREST.
As long as Zhu Zhu wants to make a replica and improve a few things on the basis of this demo, he can create a replica version.
(Of course, the so-called refining of the replica version does not mean filling in the details to make it exactly the same as GRAY FOREST.
It’s about making some differences, otherwise wouldn’t it be an infringement of software copyright if they are exactly the same?)
However, Zhu Zhu is not interested in the act of making copies, which is almost indistinguishable from piracy.
After all, he is also a member of the Shuimu Computer Department.
Although Zhu Zhu rarely flaunts this identity.
But Zhu Zhu also has his own pride in his heart.
And even if it is a replica, it may not be able to replicate the success of GRAY FOREST.
Judging from the demo created by Zhu Zhu studying the dinosaur mini-game of GRAY FOREST.
All the project files, including the UI and the core gameplay of the game, were completed with more than 3,000 lines of code.
Of course, when discussing how many lines of code there are in a project, it is generally assumed that this type of code is more in line with the standard indentation.
Some development languages have to be written in one line, but there is no way...
While paying attention to the technical implementation of the dinosaur mini-game created by GRAY FOREST.
Zhu Zhu also paid attention to the results of this game.
Judging from the data provided by some third-party websites.
Zhu Zhu knows that GRAY FOREST has created this small game that has actually been downloaded more than 10 million times.
The effective downloading of a small game like "T-rex's Journey" with a buyout system is almost directly linked to the income.
According to the effective download of 3 US dollars per time, the effective download is 10 million times.
Wouldn’t the total revenue of such an inconspicuous little game exceed 30 million US dollars?
If calculated based on the income per line of code, wouldn't one line of code cost $10,000?
This level of making money is comparable to printing money.
However, after making the video, Zhu Zhu was still feeling anxious.
After all, it’s your first time to eat, what should you do if you lose followers?
However, things were not as pessimistic as Zhu Zhu expected, after releasing the promotional video.
Zhu Zhu was a little surprised to find that Zhu Zhu not only did not lose his subscription.
Instead, it stands out among all the seductive promotional videos because of its unique deconstruction angle.
One video also accidentally added about 10,000 fans.
Um, is it so magical?
In the past, the growth rate of Zhu Zhu’s fans was completely slow compared to this rate.
Inspired by this incident.
Since then, this kind of deconstructing products from a technical perspective has become Zhu Zhu’s style of making videos.
After GRAY FOREST launched the game "HILL CLIMB RACING".
Zhu Zhu followed the popularity brought by the launch of this game and made a technical deconstruction video.
After this video was released, the number of people following Zhu Zhu increased a lot.
Zhu Zhu finally understood.
Good guy, this GRAY FOREST is the traffic password.
After that, Zhu Zhugan kept paying attention to the developments of GRAY FOREST.
Now GRAY FOREST has released a new game.
Zhu Zhu can naturally take advantage of such an opportunity.
Although it seems to be a bit too hot.
But when it comes to technical staff, how can we say it's a waste of time?
The videos created by YouTubers can in turn increase the popularity of the games released by GRAY FOREST.
This is a matter of mutual benefit.
I have to say, Zhu Zhu is envious!
But there's no point in being envious.
People cannot be generalized.
Zhu Zhu feels that GRAY FOREST is not so much worth ten thousand dollars per line of code.
Let’s say it’s $1 per line of code.
GRAY FOREST's name/charisma is worth $30 million.
Chapter completed!
