Reborn multinational giant

Since receiving Apple's boutique recommendation on August 9, the ranking of the Fruit Games began to rise steadily. In the morning of August 10, the ranking of the game sub-categories had entered the top 100.

On the evening of the 12th, the Fruit Games entered the top 50 paid downloads list, reaching 32nd.

Now most of the games on the appstore are still paid games. Unlike later generations, when there are more free games, this list is completely reduced to a focus of brushes. Now being able to make it into this list is enough to illustrate the excellence of the fruit games. .

The number one on the paid list is still the Super Monkey Ball, which has dominated the appstore since its launch in July. Thanks to Apple's official publicity and the game's fairly good content, this game has always been the first choice for iPhone rookies.

On the evening of the 14th, before the Apple Store changed the list, the Fruit Games finally appeared on the top 25 paid list, ranking 23, and the game category reached ninth.

Unfortunately, Fang Zhe still did not see the fruit games on the top 25 best-selling list. The rankings here are based on the daily income of the apps, including paid apps and free apps. Obviously, the fruit games have not yet Reach the qualifications for the list.

On Friday, August 15th, the editor’s recommendation officially began. The daily registered users of the Fruit Games reached a new peak. From this day on, the daily registered users reached more than 10,000. Fang Zhe had to let Li Xiaoyang Continue to add servers. Fortunately, the era of cloud computing has come, and the deployment of servers is simpler and more flexible. If two or three years in the morning, Fang Zhe and others will definitely blow up servers because of insufficient estimates of traffic.

What Fang Zhe was looking forward to was finally fulfilled on August 17th. On this day, American swimmer Phelps won eight gold medals in the Yanjing Olympics, surpassing former swimmer Spitz to become the single Olympic gold medalist. The players, while breaking various world records, also made the headlines of major American newspapers.

As for Fang Zhe, who had a black belly, he asked Shen Liang to make a poster for a swimmer to win eight gold medals as early as when he put up the poster for the fruit games.This also allowed the download volume of the Fruit Games to reach a new peak. The number of registered users in a single day was 17,258, and the daily income was US$86,117.42, and the converted income was 602,821.94 yuan.

And this only makes the Fruit Games rush to the third place on the paid list and the fourth on the best-selling list. One is Super Monkey Ball and the other is a slot game with the nature of gambling. In addition to these two games, there is also a movie and video software Netflix. Among these, only Netflix is ​​a free application, and the main revenue comes from in-app purchases.

Fang Zhe roughly estimated the revenue of each application on the top 25 best-selling list. The ones behind the Fruit Games are probably more than $50,000 in a single day, and the first three are hard to say. They are 1 more than you. The dollar is in front of you, and one million dollars more than you are also in front of you.

Just like last time, I can see if there is any channel to get the estimated data through Zheng Siwen, but according to the 3 million US dollars of Super Monkey Ball at that time, even if it decays by 90%, there is still a single day of 100,000 US dollars. If the Fruit Games wants to surpass it, it needs a lot of distance.

"Alas, there are still too few iPhone users. In a few years, the top few on the best-selling list will not have a turnover of one million or even tens of millions in a single day. You don't have to think about it." Fang Zhe, who looked at the appstore data, thought about it with emotion.

Apple’s iPhone sales are very good, and the appearance of the appstore has made many people think about buying an iPhone or Itouch. Many people who don’t want to change their phones have also bought the lower-priced itouch.

As an iPhone that has been castrated with functions such as phones, many people use it as a handheld game console. When Fang Zhe remembers his previous life, its total sales exceeded 100 million. It was not slow until the iPad with a larger screen came out. Slowly fade out of people's vision.

Android, the biggest competitor of later iPhones, still has not released their first mobile phone at this time, but Fang Zhe has already seen news on the Internet. As the first T-MobileG1 equipped with Android system on the 23rd of next month, Released in New York.

If the iPhone has opened up a new era of smart phones, then Android is the best choice for popularizing smart phones. The high price of the iPhone has discouraged many people and also gave Android an opportunity.

As a game developer, Fang Zhe loves and hates Android. He loves it because its emergence truly represents the era of smart phones and the arrival of the mobile Internet era. Without its low-cost popularity, mobile Internet will not It may spread to the whole world in just a few years, and there will not be enough potential users of mobile games.

I hate it because of its open source and free fragmented system, and various secondary developments by mobile phone manufacturers all over the world have led to complex and high development and debugging costs for game and application developers.

These are just fanciful ideas of Fang Zhe. At this stage, his main energy is still paying attention to the data of the Fruit Games. Up to now, the total number of registered users of the Fruit Games has exceeded 50,000, with a total income of more than 250,000 US dollars and a converted income of nearly 2 million yuan. Every time Fang Zhe is refreshed, the number of registrations on the page keeps increasing by more than a dozen.

Including Fang Zhe and Fatty, the entire project team has been excited from Monday to now. No one has any doubts or doubts about the success of the Fruit Games. Fang Zhe used his results to prove his vision and ability as a producer. Although Fang Zhe knew that this ability had a lot of water in his heart, others didn't know it.

Therefore, Fang Zhe felt that all his colleagues from Fatty to Wang Guoqing to the entire Funwan looked a little different.

Just like Fang Zhe would take the initiative to say hello when he saw a colleague who was better than his own in his previous life. Even the people in the fun page game project team in the past have nodded or pretended not to see Fang Zhe to become "Hi." Or make Fang Zhe feel embarrassed to talk.

In the past few days, although Wang Guoqing tried his best to stay, he even took out 5% of the shares and a position of deputy general manager in the hope that Fang Zhe could stay in the company, but Fang Zhe politely declined.

Although I already have the idea of ​​starting a business during the internship period of my senior year, I have never thought of being a second-in-command under the fence, so that my rebirth would not be in vain?

Wang Guoqing did not succeed in recruiting Fang Zhe several times, so he lost his thoughts. The golden scales are not objects in the pool, and his small temple cannot accommodate Zhe, the big Buddha. This also made him understand why Fang Zhe had insisted on his commitment before. The 30% of the profit allocated to him is probably because he doesn't want to owe him favors, and it will not embarrass the two of them by refusing his solicitation.

In terms of work, Fang Zhe’s focus has also begun to shift. In the past, Fang Zhe was the brain and core of the entire project team. Whether it was program development art special effects review or the entire project management and progress control, Fang Zhe basically had to go here. The last process.

Client-side development, Shang Zhe took the position of the main program. Fortunately, at the beginning, Fang Zhe deliberately cultivated another client program that was transferred. With the addition of new recruits, Fang Zhe slowly moved a lot of work to Shen Liang took over there.

As far as the personal ability of the entire group is concerned, he is the most suitable person to take over as the producer. If his ability is insufficient, he can gradually improve. Who hasn’t come here? As for the airborne producer picking fruit, it will directly lead to this newly formed person. The project team in less than a month was eccentric.
