Chapter 16

The excited fat man took two bottles of iced drinks from the refrigerator and handed Fang zhe a bottle. He grabbed the mouse from Fang Zhe and continued to refresh the page.

After just brushing several times, there are new changes on the page. The number of flappybird registrations has finally changed from 0 to 1, and the number of stickhero registrations has also increased to 4.

"Yes, yes"

"This flappybird has finally been downloaded." although Fang zhe sat next to him and looked at the screen, he shouted out happily.

When Fang zhe saw this, he was relieved: "it seems that pixel wind still has a market abroad."

Probably because many early FC games were pixel style, and many independent developers abroad chose pixel art with lower requirements for art because of art resources. Over time, they formed their own style and gradually cultivated a group of game lovers who like this style.

In contrast, few people like pixel games in China at this time. Until my world and many fun mobile pixel games were introduced into China, more and more players like pixel style games gradually increased.

Thinking of my world, this is a highly free pixel sand box game, which came out only in 2009, with hundreds of millions of players around the world.

Although Fang zhe was greatly moved by this, he simply played this game in his previous life. He didn't understand many ways of playing this game. If he did it himself, he couldn't do better than the original producer. Therefore, he gave up his plan to develop it in the future.

However, if we do global game distribution in the future, we can consider integrating it into our company as soon as possible. After all, Microsoft spent more than $2 billion to buy its company.

The fat man sighed: "I was worried that no one would play this bird game. Now it seems that there are users. I just don't know if they will scold you for doing too low and not worth the $0.99 after they play it."

"I don't think so. I've introduced the core playing methods of the game and relevant graphics in the application details. If players choose to download it, it shows that they are still interested."

Fang zhe doesn't think the game he made is not worth $0.99. Although there are many free games in future generations, now mobile games are still extremely scarce, and each has its value.

Foreign users have long been trained by those big companies to pay for many years. Otherwise, Sega's super son monkey ball can't have more than 500000 downloads in the first three days of the app store. You know, its price is $9.99. The price of Fang Zhe's two games is just a fraction of it.

After two points, the number of registrations of the two games reached 4 and 11 respectively.

The total revenue added up to US $14.85, which has exceeded 100 yuan in RMB. You know, this is only the early morning of July 11. Only a few iPhone 2.0 users have completed the upgrade, and there is an app store in the phone.

At present, American users with the largest number of iPhones have to wait more than ten hours to buy iPhone 3G or upgrade the 2.0 system because of the time difference. It is still the morning of the 10th.

"Fat man, go to bed. It's still early. After the day, more people download."

"Let's go to bed and save our energy, waiting for the capitalist wool to be harvested tomorrow."

The fat man kept refreshing the page all night, and his fingers were a little tired. Although he was still excited, he still listened to Fang Zhe's words, "OK, let's wash our face and sleep. Grandma's, I found that games are the most profitable in the world. In the future, I will also play games."

They turned off the computer, simply washed and went to bed. Although they were excited and couldn't sleep, after a while, they fell asleep because they were too sleepy.

At more than 7 a.m. the next morning, the day outside the window was already bright. Fang Zhe, who had just woke up, looked at the fat man who was still sleeping. He couldn't help but turn on the computer quietly and opened the statistics page.

Flappybird, with 42 registrations and a revenue of US $41.58.

Stickhero, with 123 registrations and income of US $121.77.

The total income is 163.35 US dollars, equivalent to RMB, more than 1000 yuan.

Fang Zhe's excited smile and the numbers on the page gave Fang zhe great confidence and convinced him that his first pot of gold should be dug out from here.

Fang Zhe is like a sick miser. He sits in front of the computer, refreshing the page again and again, waiting for the numbers to continue to change. After the day, the growth rate of downloads is obviously faster.

The number of flappybird registrations exceeded 50 from 42 in less than half an hour.

Stickhero, which looks better to play, has registered 140 in half an hour.

If the current growth rate is maintained, the total downloads of the two games today will never be a problem to exceed 1000. Considering that after 12 noon, the United States, which has the largest number of iPhone users, will also arrive on July 11. At that time, many users should upgrade iPhone 2.0.

By the afternoon, the first more than 20 countries will basically sell iPhone 3G. After these two time points, the download volume should increase greatly. Fang zhe can't estimate the specific increase for the time being.

Think of the more than 500000 downloads of Sega's Super Monkey Ball. On average, there are at least 100000 downloads every day. You can't even have a fraction of others.

The sleepy fat man just opened his eyes and saw Fang zhe sitting in front of the computer.

He rubbed his eyes and asked, "how much is it?"

Fang zhe looked at the watch hanging on the wall. The time was 8.30 a.m. at this time, some countries faster than China's time have begun to sell iPhones. After a while, Hong Kong should also sell iPhones.

"Flappybird has 59 registrations and stickhero has 161 registrations. The total revenue of the two games is 217.8 dollars."

"I'll go. That's more than 1000 yuan. I'll spend more than a month's living expenses this night. Can I be more ferocious?" the fat man quickly got out of the quilt and climbed to the computer in a big red underpants.

Fang zhe looked at him and said, "it will rise faster later. If God gives face, I can recover all the development costs today."

With a look at the national treasure, the fat man re examined Fang Zhe and said, "brother, teach me to play games!"

"I want to learn. Put on your pants first. Your white skin and red underpants are poisoning my eyes."

Fang zhe supports and agrees that fat people have the idea of playing games. He is bound to do more games in the future, and even start his own company. If fat people also play games, it can help a lot.

Relatively speaking, fat man is also a good seedling for playing games. He has a program foundation and plays many games. He also has some understanding of many game playing methods. As long as he gives a little guidance and practices in several projects, he can become a general.

During the whole day, in addition to eating and going to the bathroom, they both stayed in the fat man's bedroom. Fang zhe also called his mother and said that they would stay at the fat man's house for another day. In order to refresh the page automatically and regularly, Fang zhe also added an automatic refresh plug-in in the browser.

Fang zhe looked at the numbers on the page from time to time. While introducing various game development related things to the fat man, he also gave him the post address previously published on CocoaChina and asked him to learn slowly according to the content of the post.

Fang Zhe's iPhone is a 1.0 jailbreak version. If you want to upgrade 2.0, you have to wait until the online jailbreak version comes out. It's not that Fang zhe doesn't want to use the official version, but the development needs. And now Apple doesn't support the mainland at all, and the official version can't be used if you want to. Fang Zhe's parallel users are black households.

At more than 23 p.m., Fang Zhe and fat man, who had been excited all day, were a little numb looking at the numbers on the screen.

Fat people don't bother to count with calculators. The number of flappybird registrations is 822, and the number of stickhero registrations is 3547. The total income is US $4325.31, equivalent to more than 30000 yuan. Even if the deposit in Fang Zhe's bank card in his previous life is several times this number, it feels far better than today.

Now, the two games have an average download in less than a minute. In other words, regardless of the share with apple, Fang zhe will earn nearly 5 yuan per minute.

Considering that Bill Gates bought millions of luxury cars in seconds, Fang zhe feels that he still has a lot of room for progress.
