Conversion rate followup

CR is now up to a staggering 6.48% for Ultratron 1.1a. It just keeps going up! And I've not done a thing. Downloads keeps on dropping, sales keep on increasing. It's like one of the gods has shat on me, and the poo is solid gold.

The final CR for version 1.0 was 1.63% which means the carefully applied changes I made to the game based on the logging information have quadrupled my sales.

I still have one more experiment to perform but I need another 80-odd sales to make a reasonable statistical comparison.

In other news, WinXP failure rate detection was improved massively in 1.1a but the news is bad: 44% failure. OSX however is down to 10%. Downloads for OSX outnumber XP by 10:1. Blimey.

Good work fella.

Have you used your own logging software or is it an off the shelf package?

Just built into the game using Java's RMI. Some of it's blocked by outgoing firewall restrictions but otherwise it's very accurate now. I get detailed exception logs too. Very handy!

That's it, then. We've got to start a quotes archive.

Could it be that the downloads and sales curves just have a time offset? Maybe this sales peak corresponds to a downloads peak a week or two ago?

I shall plot a graph and find out. Except that all the sales that are coming in are 1.1a sales and that was only released a few days ago to very little fanfare.
