Stimulation of the \"bird\", Chengdu has developed one after another by the dream of APP, the country to join the mobile phone application software developers have over 100,000.Wu Shulin is one, he is a graduate of Computer, Sichuan University. The iPhone first came out in 2007 when he and his development team started to pay attention, and handwriting Apple iOS platform program, the tools applied to the game, nothing gets done. But this year, they feel increasing pressure to survive.Medium and small developers is difficult to do the job. \"Said Wu Shulin, the popularity of mobile applications, not only on technology, art, and easy to operate high, but also specialized marketing.

The App Store is the individual user to choose what kind of business model is very important. If a single charging mode, may be abandoned by the user. B-side The main overseas markets \"Chengdu\" a monthly income of more than 30 millionPessimistic compared to small and medium-sized development team, the mobile Internet in the eyes of the traditional game company is a blue ocean. In the Gold Rush \"App\" store adventure a 冰火两重天 situation.Chengdu Chenyue game market official told reporters that the company is very optimistic about the prospects of the mobile Internet, has developed a mobile game to enter the market to promote through four months of the promotion, the download experience of more than 100 million users, \" If successful we might be able to attract 30 million users concerned about \", he does not think this is the transformation of the company, but the traditional games business an extension of the mobile Internet.According to the Minister Lu Yuxiang of Tianfu Software Park, Chengdu has been the launch of several applications or games to steal the show in the \"App\" store.

Giants of the flock, but also to the Chengdu game grassroots development with the international standards.The Calvi CEO Yang Cunfu told reporters, his back to venture in Chengdu in 2007, has been working hard in the traditional online game in April last year, go to the Apple iOS platform to develop games. China is the world's largest online game market, but the mobile phone game in order to make money, only to enter the United States and Europe and other overseas markets. \"Because of the mainland of China does not have a good payment habits, whether it is pay to download or buy the game props.\"\"Europe and the United States and other markets accounted for 90%.\" Cunfu Young said they developed the game a download fee is 40 yuan, was added to our six minutes later have a cracked version of the application, dispense with the cost of 40 dollars to download. However, he also wanted to make money in the mainland market, the strategy is through player feedback to continuously improve the game, and then into Europe and the United States and other overseas markets.As a result, a phenomenon also appeared in 200 of the top of the U.S. AppStore game looks foreign flavor, in fact, Chengdu native of team development. Industry Analysis Matthew effect will be intensifiedWhy the same development in Chengdu, some applications one day to close at $ 200,000, and some do not even have the $ 99 registration fee earned not come back?\"A lot of the company's success is not accidental.\" Lu Yuxiang this analysis is that the first mobile phone application to make money is to follow up the trend, grasping the point. Daily life, every month, every week, even every day, there will be a new hot spot, mobile application team must seize these directions. For example, he said, the success of a game in Chengdu, is a combination of ancient Chinese mythology + European style.Second, we must analyze the data, the number of similar games, each with what characteristics, what kind of game favorite, and not allow users to be very easy to use? Third, the foundation can really make the things of the world-class.Of course, not every game or application to do it will be recognized, \"angry bird\" Rovio company developed the first 52 games before a big success.Thousands of pet set to star company, grass-roots individuals in order to succeed even more difficult. \"Yesterday iAPP4Me founder Haopei Jiang told the West China City Daily Reporter, the mobile Internet market was Matthew.He believes that perhaps in the U.S. market as well as personal myths, 100,000 paid downloads, will be able to feed a team. In China, for free download at least reach the scale of more than 1 million users before we talk about earnings prospects, plus marketing, a large initial investment has far exceeded the burden on the individual team.According to statistics, in the App Store's top 20 games inside the traditional way the promoting want to get the ranking, at least monthly to pay 2 million promotion expenses, even if the brush list to enter, while its costs need to 500,000 yuan a month, and Apple can easily be punishment under the frame.In addition, creativity easily mimicry, especially the follow-up of large companies, so that individual team worse. Haopei Jiang said that the mobile Internet market advantage from a creative turn to the channel, which is more in line with the big companies play.Source: WCC

If the the NetDragon 91 wireless success to achieve the listing is likely to become the first major enterprises rely on a smart phone-based mobile Internet services market.Long 91 wireless network, it must properly handle and Apple, Google. IPhone users once the core of the user which started the development of early 91 mobile assistant - then, these early iPhone users are not accustomed to using the App Store, and they can be easily downloaded on the \"91 Mobile Assistant applications they need. In the official Google application store did not enter the Chinese market the, NetDragon wireless Andrews market to help users more easily using the Google App Store applications.In this regard, explained Wu Chak Man, 91 assistant for a large number of low-end users are not used to Apple's iTunes to make better use of the iPhone, so as to promote the sales of the iPhone. Apple and Google should be grateful to us that we are their largest customer in China, we are obligated to help them publicize, and in the propaganda, the way to earn some pocket money. In general, they still profit maximum occupant. \" He admitted that NetDragon 91 wireless and Google and Apple are pretty good, there is no dispute.To some extent, the official Google app store does not enter the Chinese market to the NetDragon 91 wireless Andrews market, leaving a huge market space. , Wu Chak Man talked about it unashamedly: \"Now, even if the official Google application store to enter the Chinese market, it may not be able to win. First of all, Google did not understand the Chinese market does not understand Chinese developers; user, even if the official Google application to enter the store, may not be able to catch up with us; Finally, in addition to the Andrews market, we have other products, such as 91 assistants to achieve cross-platform, without which a software management product cross-platform. \"From the phone to the PCNot long ago, data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, mobile phone users in China has exceeded 1 billion; another set of research data claimed that in 2016, China's smart phone users will reach 1 billion. Smartphone carrying the mobile Internet market space is increasingly alarming.With the increasingly fierce competition of the field of mobile Internet, cell phone use distribution channels or will face a reshuffle. An investor had predicted that the application distribution channels at most, can eventually accommodate three listed companies, because the capital markets will not be repeated for the concept of pay.\"Now all platforms to please the developers. Andrews market starting incentives, if the developer's application is the first market in Andrews will get a good advertising resources. In addition, we also implemented an integral policy, developers Points accumulated to a certain extent, can be exchanged for advertising resources, advertising resources, you can also sell to other developers. \"Wu Chak Man said.As the the NetDragon 91 wireless 91 assistant, Andrews markets and a number of preconceived application distribution channels has gained a large user base, coupled with the team of professionals to do the application store has been less and less, in such circumstances, the application distribution channels, industry Matthew benefits or will appear, NetDragon 91 wireless you want to get more profits in the future, the need to maintain the market share of existing distribution channels. Which may allow the market to produce a variable, it seems that only Tencent, 360 traditional Internet giant, but Wu Chak Man said he was not very worried. In fact, the traditional Internet companies have not yet entered the mobile Internet applications, the field of distribution channels, NetDragon 91 wireless as early as downward extended to the Internet field.Last year, the NetDragon 91 wireless and 360 reached a cooperation agreement, a joint venture.

CrowdStar: no longer develop Facebook social games

According to foreign media reports, the social game developer CrowdStar, Chief Executive of Pite·ruilan (Peter Relan) said today that the company will no longer develop social games for Facebook, of the company\'s strategic focus will be transferred to the Smartphone game development. Ruilan said, \"we will be on Facebook games have been developed such as the Happy Aquarium continues to provide support, but it will no longer develop new Facebook game. We are focusing on mobile games.

\"Ruilan, 90% of company revenues from social networks Facebook last year, but at the same time he expects 90% in revenue this year will come from mobile games.
Facebook publicly listed looms, CrowdStar this its obviously not a good news. For a successful social network platform, and it should have a number of applications and users. If only a small number of people can benefit from the platform, application developers will be another elsewhere. Facebook social network today is faced with the situation, social game developer Zynga to occupy the leading position in the market, its profit is far greater than other application developers.
Many new developers have to seek other profitable way. CrowdStar was founded in 2008, the headquarters is located in United States in Burlingame, California, were the first by one of the Facebook social graph to benefit several companies.
But with the column closed, CrowdStar gradually lagged behind such as Zynga, Electronic Arts, Wooga, as well as social game developers such as King. A year ago, CrowdStar raised capital of US $ 23 million in a first round of financing.
But at the same time its development focus has been transferred from the social gaming to mobile applications, makes the game ranking began to fall. According to market research firm AppData statistics, CrowdStar about 29 million users a month a year ago, fell to less than 8 million per month. However, the ruilan company has found an attractiveness of mobile users.
Found between 13 to 30 years old woman has no interest in PC gaming or video game, more focused on mobile games. For example, CrowdStar specific women-oriented development of the game, including Top Girl, Social Girl and the Modern Girl, Smartphone downloads of games has reached 20 million.
Modern Girl introduced in only three weeks hits has more than 2 million times. Ruilan pointed out that the game developer Zynga for development and greater age of 35 women\'s games have done very well, the groups are accompanied by growth of the personal computer, more used to playing games online. More young women\'s groups tend to try different types of games on different platforms.
Meanwhile ruilan company will continue to make use of Facebook Platform for mobile application development promotion. Last October, CrowdStar has announced that the company\'s three-point strategy, including developing Facebook games, mobile games, and focus on the expanding Asian market. Ruilan, said even if the company did not turn the mobile device game, he is still wary of Facebook game development. Because he thinks that Facebook game users group has stabilized or begun to decline. Ruilan says, \"If you develop user groups of older market, I will be in Tablet application developers work hard\".

Share five ways enhance the performance of the Facebook game to spread

for one big advantage of the Facebook platform to create applications that can use the platform of the users' buddy relationship, optimize the product for their application to obtain the wide dissemination, and thus save a large amount of user acquisition costs.

\"request\" is to allow applications to obtain exposure of the typical one of the Facebook social channels. This feature was the Facebook platform is the most fundamental function of the spread of the virus, but since the emergence of the notice and newsfeed functions, it becomes the developer to introduce the new user's second option.

but Facebook recently conducted a series of adjustments is expected to make the request to reproduce the past vitality, become the number one user access to the channel. This function does not mean you're done \", but just follow the steps below, I believe that your application performance will be significantly improved (game state Note: if you understand the basic principle of operation of the Facebook request function).

1. Accessibility request and optimize performance

If your game has been a request function, and intend to form a barrier-free exchange between the players, it would need to consider this new feature. Prior to this, the user at any time to send a friend a gift, need to click to confirm the system pop-up window. If the player from time to time to carry out this operation it inevitable easily bored, and he began to lazy to send requests.

Accessibility requests (FrictionlessRequests,)

Accessibility request to support the users in the application within the specified friend sends a request, without having to click from time to time the pop-up confirmation dialog. The first time a user requests sent to certain friends in the application, it is equal to approve the application automatically to the same friend to send subsequent requests. By default, this request dialog box is check. This saves the dialogue between the player and the application process, simplifying the sharing process between the players and friends.

optimize performance

web applications, the load time is critical, so at any time to ensure that the application has a sufficiently sensitive response. In order to assist developers to achieve this goal, Facebook recently to optimize the performance capabilities of the request function. You can apply the settings in the \"Advanced\" module the \"Request2.0Efficient settings.

2. personalized buddy list

personalized list of the potential function can help user to pre-screen friends. For example, \"CityVille\" release, the game allows players from which to invite their \"FarmVille\" friends now launched the ActiveZynga buddy list, so that players can invite friends SocialGamersFriends list. I believe this is a major factor of the Zynga successful game development.

but you have more types of filters to choose from:

* neighbors (Neighbors): easier to send gifts to have been played the same games, as well as interacting with users friends - This feature helps to maintain user retention rate.

ordinary friend (CommonFriends): need people to participate, and players want to interact with the acquaintance of the game is very useful.

the

designated cities Friends (FriendslivinginaspecificCity),

* Friends list (FriendsLists)

the

* specify age friend (Friendsinspecificagerange the)

Friends of the

* upcoming birthday (Friendswithabirthdaysoon)

family (Family) ...

filter you can choose according to their needs. If you are interested in social tourism, why not choose the designated cities friend filter; if your focus is social business, it can be considered to filter friends according to age.
