As for why overseas income has grown so rapidly?
Lin Hui believes that this is part of the reason why the overseas version of South Wind APP, namely South Wind Pro, is so popular.
However, although such a software is widely popular overseas, it has gradually become a thing of the past.
The income brought by the South Wind Pro software to Lin Hui has gradually declined.
This actually has nothing to do with Lin Hui’s strength in this software.
Professional software is like that, the users are quite limited, and even if the software is great, its role is limited.
With a limited professional user base, it will be difficult to use South Wind Pro as a cash cow in the long run.
Even many users who buy South Wind Pro now do not actually need it, but just for future convenience.
——Lin Hui stated in the promotional slogan that those who purchase the South Wnd Pro version now will enjoy certain conveniences when the ultra version is launched in the future.
Although the market performance of South Wnd Pro is already very weak now.
However, looking at the entire cycle, Lin Hui is very satisfied with the results achieved by South Wind Pro software.
What's more, Lin Hui is not relying solely on the software South Wind Pro to make money overseas.
The game "T-rex's Journey" is now Lin Hui's new force in making gold overseas.
"T-rex's Journey" has achieved very impressive results since its launch.
After reaching 11.17 million effective downloads overseas on the first day of launch.
The game also achieved 5.75 million effective downloads on the day after it was launched.
Although the effective downloads of the game "T-rex's Journey" were almost halved the next day compared to yesterday's effective downloads.
But there’s nothing much to say. In the past, Lin Hui’s buyout-based games basically followed this pattern of change.
And even the effective downloads the next day were almost halved.
The result of more than five million times is quite impressive.
This achievement is worthy of Lin Hui being touted by many business media as the uncrowned king in the field of small game development.
After checking the box for Pingcheng platform exclusivity, Lin Hui will naturally have 85% of the guaranteed income share.
According to the Apple platform exclusivity agreement previously reached between Lin Hui and Apple, the sharing part is described as follows:
“The specific share ratio obtained by Lin Hui’s developed games will be linked to the total revenue of Lin Hui’s developed games.
When the game developed by Lin Hui was chosen to be exclusive on the Apple platform.
If the total revenue of the game developed by Lin Hui (total revenue including game sales, DLC sales, item sales, etc.) is less than US$10 million
Forest ash can only receive 85% of the share;
And if the total revenue of the game developed by Lin Hui (total revenue including game sales, DLC sales, prop sales, etc.) is more than 10 million US dollars
For every $2 million increase in total revenue, Lin Hui will receive an additional 1% share.
And so on until the proportion of forest ash reaches 90%.
In particular, if the total revenue of a game developed by Lin Hui exceeds US$50 million, Lin Hui has the conditions to propose adjustments to the share ratio.
The specific adjustment will be based on the conclusions reached by both parties, but in principle the adjustment ratio should not be less than 2 percentage points."
The game "T-rex's Journey" is sold overseas for $2.99.
And so far, the game "T-rex's Journey" has reached a total of 16.92 million effective downloads overseas.
Even if calculated based on the sales price of US$2.99, a humble game like "T-rex's Journey" has achieved revenue of US$50.5908 million.
Previously, Lin Hui had enjoyed a 90% share of the game "T-rex's Journey" because its revenue exceeded 20 million US dollars.
According to the previous agreement, Lin Hui seems to be able to get at least two percentage points more in revenue now that the cumulative revenue has exceeded US$50 million.
Although it is only a two percentage point share, it corresponds to a figure of tens of millions of dollars.
It's not a small amount, it should be several million if converted into RMB.
Therefore, Lin Hui would not say that he would ignore the additional share of at least two percentage points.
…
Judging from the current market feedback, the dinosaur mini-game has obviously set a series of records after being transported by Lin Hui.
Although it cannot be said that such an achievement is insurmountable, it is indeed dazzling enough.
Despite making a lot of money on the market, T-rex's Journey is not a very complex game.
The game "T-rex's Journey" is essentially a 2D parkour game with a slightly newer concept.
In the game "T-rex's Journey", there are not many operations that players can perform.
It's nothing more than clicking on the little dinosaur/pressing the ↑ key on the game operation interface to make the little dinosaur jump and pressing the ↓ key on the game operation interface to make the little dinosaur "slide".
Compared with some parkour games that are famous for their fancy scene changes.
The parkour scenes in "T-rex's Journey" are actually quite monotonous.
In the game "T-rex's Journey", the moving speed of the little dinosaur will gradually increase as time goes by.
It looks like the little dinosaur is constantly passing through new scenes.
But in fact, the scenes that the little dinosaur encountered in the early stages were nothing more than cacti of different sizes, oncoming pterosaurs, and fluttering white clouds.
When the player accumulates about 700 points, the game scene will change from the original white to a dark gray background, symbolizing the change of day and night.
Decorations such as clouds will turn into the moon and stars that only appear at night.
Then as the game progresses, the scene will switch between day and night scenes.
It will end until the player controls the small dinosaur to collide with an obstacle or plays continuously for 17 million years (in-game time) to reach the highest score designed by the game.
(The reason why the time is set to 17 million years corresponds to the time that Tyrannosaurus (extinct during the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event) existed on the earth.)
If you compare the game "T-rex's Journey" horizontally with other games, it can't be said to be complicated.
Yet such a relatively uncomplicated game can generate more than $50 million in revenue.
This is simply unbelievable to many game reviewers.
However, Lin Hui had already predicted this.
Lin Hui created "T-rex's Journey", its predecessor was the famous "Dinosaur Mini Game".
Since the game came out in the previous life, the monthly active volume once reached 200 million.
