When we decided to develop the game in June 2010, must be completed by the end of the game.Had absolutely no experience in the development of mobile games, all the people in the EPIC as a \"war machine\" and work, CHIAIR just recruited a producer, just for duty two weeks. The EPIC CEO of before has decided to the CHAIR studio is no longer develop games for the XBOX and other console games, mobile games for iOS. The benefits of IOS was the iOS device shipments, 3D IOS game is just emerging, before main is angry birds this 2d game, Apple is very interested in this project provides us with good hardware.CHAIR is, a lot to learn, complete ignorance of the IOS market, the habits of the players do not understand, as well as the limitations of the hardware itself. Our goal is to design a good game, and timely launch. Some things have to do better planning of time, just five months time must be quick to make decisions, using good resources outsourcing, as well as outsourcing team communication, including communication with Apple.We must follow the world's time to plan arrangements for the development. CHAIR was the development team of 10 people, one is now sitting below.Of our team: three procedures (except for a UI) 4 art, two actions, a planning, a QA, 1 PR, a producer / copyEPIC also provides some resources to support Infinity Blade a lot of art work is handed over to Britain Pei Zhongguo studio to complete.We made two decisions. 1) Never transplant games, but specifically designed for mobile devices, 2) use only one finger to play.We are very focused on the screen to enhance the effect, because we believe that the picture is the most attractive factors of mobile gamers.Daily meeting of the entire Development Team will to ensure that the development progress to complete the CHAIR long ago defined the size of this game, resulting in faster development. When it comes to game planning, the owner of the Team involved in the design of this game, every meeting, everyone will share the idea of this game, to ensure that everyone can understand the progress of this project and the project.Another is the development of the game as far as possible, modular, make sure the gameplay gameplay, then consider other procedures. Repeated in order to allow players to play this game without the tedious, the way we think of is to design a lot of equipment.CHAIR before UE3 development of more than four years of experience, so after only three weeks to determine the rule of the game, with four weeks time to complete the art portion of the game, work is continuing development. Completed in six weeks time, the core part of the game.That time, Apple's Steve Jobs took a fancy to the game, the requirements published in the conference this game, so have been forced to launch, faced with many problems. CHAIR and Shanghai Epic team close working team of 10 people have been given a great deal of authority to do a lot of important decisions. Communication is very important, our approach is the best every day to ensure that the video conferencing.This is our QA tables, it is project BUG submitted, from the initial 1200 BUG to the official release to be reduced to 0A chart on the efficiency of the statistical curve chart shows the value of frames and expectations of the number of frames, so that the curve of every day statistics, including all iOS devices (iphone, iPad, iTouch, etc.) and different versions will eventually be submitted to the engine developer.In addition to a memory optimization charts, bottom itouch4.4.2 version, memory usage, and the corresponding crossing curve.The Test Matrix form different iOS device version of the test, another chart is a different language versions of the test statistics. Now we have to support the NEW IPAD.Launched in June 2011 \"Infinity Blade\" for a more balanced game design, we used the the Flurry tools to analyze the behavior of the players. Endless sword of the development process generation is very close, because there is an experience. The endless Sword of 2 has been a lot of the gaming industry awards. Endless sword issued a year later, were divided into income from Apple more than $ 30 million.Infinity Blade 2 of the development process, we learn to experience:To better define the project milestone;The other is an update of the game, is very important. Infinity Blade, for example, a big update in March, and enhance the PVP part.We can learn from our experience in content:The small team can also make a good game, and more flexible.Designed to consider the platforms and players.Using the familiar techniques, to reduce the difficulty of development.Want to create games based on popular content.The beginning of the game to support different platforms.Let the game before distribution to make the game fun.As soon as possible to remove non-critical functions.To understand the core of the game play.

Diablo 3 to sell the stock of the consequences: receipt of Azeroth 'apology'
mxace reports / May 15, Diablo 3 Global Offering, flocked into Asia, the United States, EU, while in a large number of mainland players, there are a considerable number, we think the continent players to seize the initiative, come to grief shot.World of Warcraft (ngacn.cc) is the most popular domestic Blizzard fans nest site game media 178.com income previously given them. The site had previously opened up ahead of \"Diablo 3\" pre-sale, and quickly reached the predetermined amount of 10,000 and 10,000 players a successful payment, but Diablo 3 quickly sold out of stock, the occurrence of the inability to deliver goods after the game is officially released embarrassing incidents that hurt ~Yesterday, players Baidu Diablo 3, said today Azeroth and 178 out of oolong tragedy, media exposure today Azeroth website, simply cause and effect described in detail again , to pre-order players anxiously waiting for an explanation.The following text is taken from the World of Warcraft website.Original address: http://bbs.ngacn.cc/read.php?tid=5156284Apology on Diablo 3-key - cause and effect - and the subsequent processingFirst of all, in the 178 mall scheduled Diablo 3, but not in time to get the key users to apologize, so that you can not play the game the first time, dereliction of duty.After two days to understand, I tell everyone I know.To Taiwan in April, the company booked a number of key used for testing and co-workers to play, and then continue to colleagues friends, separate ways users want to get the key from the first time in this channel, so in charge of store colleagues in the shop. 178.com hung up the link, there is a need to buy. The cost will be around the cost of +30, which is the Mall of the profits. Electronic key, played the game the students should all be aware, the electronic key game companies can create unlimited, while the goal of the game are the players the better, so there is no thought of out of stock. So did not write in the mall set inside the inventory, that is, unlimited scheduled. This is a serious mistake, because in fact the person in charge of the Mall do not think that more than 1000 sets. Because the continent's future will soon have the Simplified Chinese version.5 last week, less than about 1000 Order, are basically employees and forum users. But by the weekend, the duty colleagues suddenly found to reach 10000 sets the subscription learned of this situation, the Mall of the person in charge of emergency Youxiang upstream prepayment subscribed to 10,000 units, and closed the site to buy. (In mall history page can be found) As for ordering agreement, as the continent's biggest gaming media, how may set a game client and KEY get it working? We are not Taobao seller, all the students did not confirm the goods on sale, should not understand the relationships and mechanisms of online gaming companies and the media. KEY open service began on the line, so can only be confirmed rather than \"get our hands on\"Before opening the service, the entity client first batch ordered from Taiwan shipped to Hong Kong opened, the scan key to the company, several colleagues overnight processing and shipping. Then was told that Taiwan's key. Taiwan's key is to sell Taiwan Blizzard Blizzard Technical, instead of the Chi where Di own printed. We should all understand that our channels to purchase is not Blizzard.The shortage of virtual electronic key, which is unthinkable in today's Internet age, the answer is hungry market, the more people get to have the greater voice. In fact, because a higher proxy price to NetEase, the Blizzard, NetEase can not accept, so the continent Simplified Chinese version of the power of attorney so far undetermined. The mainland players hungry to play clothes, and perhaps also a strategy.In any case, the result is yesterday, 178 Mall unable to pay the goods. Of course, is where Di, Chi, Taiwan yesterday, no key. Taobao prices reached 900. So many players to speculate is not 178 players to collect advance payments go order to Taobao to sell.In this regard, I want to say isThree days ago, ordering payment of buyer about 1,000 people within three days to 10,000, while the order a week ago, the time difference does not allow, say 10 000 sets of orders are not 3 million, the company paid this money is not a problem, As for the interest, three million one week of current interest is less than 1000 yuan, pick up the calculator should be aware that this is a conspiracy theory.2178 key, all shipped in accordance with the order time, and not resold to other channels, this afternoon, Chaoyang Industry and Commerce Bureau to forensics had the afternoon to the company's Beijing friends can attest.After an investigation, in recent days under the single buyer, a lot of Taobao sellers, their interests did suffer great damage, could have changed hands to get from 178 to earn 500, because 178 is not available, lost money the opportunity, I would like to say that yes, indeed you have the right to purchase, but this loss will not be compensated, Taobao businesses as possible to take legal action. Because of your existence, has been the matter worse. The complaints of the users play games, we humbly accept and deal with the, Taobao reselling malicious trouble, we will no longer respond.The above is what happened, users can control their own logic to determine authenticity.Follow-up treatmentA morning mall colleagues found that mycard can buy have been bought shipped, but soon mycard hung up.2 from other sources we get a new batch of key arrival in the evening, still in accordance with the order of deliveryApply for a refund of the students, we have a full refund. However, because the refund can only financial personnel to operate, so the speed of refund in the case of overtime a day, can only handle about 1,000 people.4 compensation approach is still under discussion, initially laid down that students will each refund the compensation of not less than the goods of people RMB 100. No refunds for students compensation of not less than 50 commodities. This does not compensate for the loss of your spirit, just to express our apologies.5 Collector's Edition: Hungry marketing, this thing is not controllable, and here I take the initiative to want to order the students to apply for a refund. We will retain your records, subscriptions before we get the Collector's Edition will contact students whether or not to continue to buy. Collector's Edition of the compensation plan is still under negotiation.Off-topic:This post involves sensitive content and information, so it is estimated that public relations will soon be deleted the last paragraph.To borrowed Chamber to express my attitudeAny replies to observe the rules are ok

.Analysis: Android games to make money
Long time, subject to payment, issues such as piracy and user habits, domestic Android game developers have struggled to obtain revenue.
However, as the number of users of the rapid growth and continued digestion of these constraints, Android games began to really make money at all times. \"Android games to make money is just a matter of time, I am very bullish.
\"Millet Tech CEO Lei Jun said that Android has a wide range of user groups, users also spend money on the game, the game is already a proven viable model on the PC, ported to mobile phones is no problem. Last year, development of Android phones in China has achieved remarkable results. 91 wireless research data shows that the first quarter of 2012, China iPhone mobile phone activation totaled 30 million, total Android phones up to $ 60 million.
91 expects domestic total iPhone mobile phone until the end of 2012 is expected to reach 60 million, total Android phones will exceed 140 million. However, the problem is the huge number of does not effectively translate into revenue. According to the Apple from app store revenue received as much as US $ 5.41 million every day, Google Play Shop reached $ 679,000, according to the translation of this United States each smartphone each month\'s income to 1.86 billion.
But in China, even at 91 wireless mobile Internet gonggeng has long been only from smart phone to earn monthly income of RMB 0.25. \"On the revenues, China smart phone there is 7 times of growth,\" 91 wireless CEO Hu Zemin said, want to make money from mobile Internet-scale it will take some time, but dawn is accelerating. \"In the past few months, 91 wireless AURP has been rapid growth in the value of each terminal.
\"Three major change the Android application store\" sink \"CEO la xuyen told Sina science and technology, past year three important changes in the Android gaming market, obstacles to making massive profits have gone. First is a means of payment. \"Android games currently there are three main payment instruments, bank card, PayPal and China.
\"La xuyen said that by China, direct user purchases a mobile phone recharge cards, enter your password to complete the charge, this is very useful for many novice, pay cost only 4%~5%. Second is the user. La xuyen believes that in the first stage of development of Android, users are mobile phone enthusiasts and IT person, that part of the pay wishes of users is not very strong.
And with the popularity of Android Terminal, real target users of the game started rapid growth. Third is the quality of the game.
La xuyen said, a lot of games are based on Java before even Wap transplant, poor gaming experience, but now that many developers have begun to specifically develop games for Android, high quality products more and more. Concentration of distribution channels improve Skaj network CEO Song Tao has also expressed similar views.
He said explosive growth in Android gaming profits will come soon, not making money because many games before was transformed from a stand-alone to networked gaming, games focus on graphic design, online game focused on operations, which led to many companies did not succeed.
In addition, evolution of platforms and distribution channels will also be an important driver of earnings growth. \"The size of the app store as long, continuous replication copy, gaming platform a lot but really there are fewer developers benefit.
\"Song Tao commented, these platforms and channels to create value, and long-term development must be the problem.
He said, now a lot of small shops and platforms have been drained, industry concentration in continuous improvement, large app store already has a strong sense of crisis, began to provide value for developers.
Song Tao, for example, had many games platform focused on social networking, focus on playing the game of making friends, but social game users in China demand is not strong. \"Skaj network will launch a new game sports platforms, our completely different direction with other manufacturers.
\"Song Tao explained, Skaj platform will remain in focus, this user on the gaming experience, allowing users to athletics, PK-dominated, rather than making friends. Single monthly income of tens of millions of games during the year \"before national day last year I also think Android games to earn money, but now it has completely changed.
\"When the music network CEO xiaoyongquan, starting from the fourth quarter of last year, many Android games began rapid growth of revenue, such as the world online monthly income exceeded 1 million this year. \"Very, very lacking good games on the market now, some products that have transformed from Symbian, Java time continues to flood the market, this game is far from satisfying the needs of users.
\"Xiaoyongquan said, this year when spending a significant amount of financial support of small and medium-sized developers.
Xiaoyongquan expects domestic during the year, there will be tens of millions of monthly income, earning billions of game. \"We think Android gaming opportunities and even better in the PC game, because like PC games Android games restricted user group is dead, only severe games user is locked out. On the phone, casual games, and serious games as an opportunity, this was brought about by mobile phone users on the breakthrough.
