Chapter 98 Investors are coming to inspect (please subscribe, please vote!)
As we all know, the construction system of this game is very complete, but this is a ready-made template. Although it is as high as 750,000, we can afford it. There are many companies.
If it is just such a system, it will not actually motivate players to buy.
But on top of this complete construction system, "Fire Thief" has added two key factors: "Working for the Disheartened" and "Team Adventure in the Kingdom of God", which are really in line with the construction gameplay. It creates a wonderful chemical reaction that makes players unable to stop!
In fact, the original exploration of the Kingdom of God is also a good gameplay in itself.
Players team up to steal things and avoid monsters, especially the unique voice system, which is very effective.
But the problem with the original gameplay is that it is too difficult and the pressure to steal materials is too great!
Monsters are too densely distributed and player mortality is too high.
In normal adventures, except for those particularly powerful skilled workers, the speed at which ordinary players steal materials simply cannot keep up with the consumption of the outside world.
But now, players can control the Heaven Guard, which has become a "game balancing mechanism".
For more experienced players, they can turn all five of them into heaven guards, and then directly enter the Kingdom of God to rampage and sweep away.
If you want to retain some of the excitement of adventure, you can bring only one Heaven Guard and play "Butank Synergy" like Professor Ding and others.
If you go one step further and want to give yourself a little challenge, you can also experience the original high difficulty without the Heaven Guard at all.
In short, after a series of BUGs appeared, Zhou Yang was surprised to find that "The Fire Thief", which originally had fatal flaws in both the fields of "survival" and "construction", not only inexplicably made up for it The short board is even extended and turned into a long board!
Especially when playing in a team, it’s a lot of fun, and it’s also great for making into video slices!
These factors caused the popularity of "The Fire Thief" to increase due to the spread of various anchors and UP hosts, and the reputation changed almost overnight!
Feng Hui had a complicated expression: "So, there are a lot of bugs in our game, but none of these bugs are vicious? Instead, they are all bugs that are beneficial to the gameplay?"
Zhou Yang thought about it I thought: "This... how to put it, it depends on how we define vicious bugs."
"If we follow the standards of general games, our design draft clearly prevents players from overcoming the wall, but players cannot circumvent the wall." Out, this must be a vicious BUG.
“But who made our design draft unreasonable from the beginning... So from the player’s perspective, this is a very benign BUG. Even without this BUG, the game would be completely unplayable.”
At this moment, he suddenly saw Gu Fan walking up to the second floor with coffee.
"Mr. Gu, don't get me wrong! I'm not saying there's something wrong with the design draft, it's just..."
He scratched his head and was at a loss for words for a moment.
So far, Gu Fan has not publicly said the source of these design drafts, so everyone thought that these design drafts were designed by him alone.
Zhou Yang publicly spoke ill of Mr. Gu in front of the whole company. Although it was unintentional, it was enough to make him feel bad.
But Gu Fan didn't care. The design was Lilith's. What does it have to do with me?
What's more, he has made so many preparations before, just waiting for this day.
Thinking of this, Gu Fan came to the crowd, raised his hand and pressed it gently to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Please be quiet, everyone. I have something more important to say.
"Please work overtime until 9 o'clock tonight, because a very important investor of our company is coming. Inspection, and may ask you some questions. ”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was surprised.
Working overtime is nothing. The game has magically come back to life, and it will probably become more and more popular in the next month. What is it about working overtime until nine o'clock?
No problem staying up all night!
But... what the hell is an investor?
Does our company have any investors?
Before this, all employees thought that Nitiantian Games was a wholly-owned company funded by Gu Fan himself.
Zhou Yang looked at Su Tong subconsciously.
Su Tong nodded: "Our company does have an investor, and he has been here. But... my impression of her is not very good."
Everyone looked at her again Gu Fan keenly smelled something strange in the atmosphere at this time.
Gu Fan coughed twice: "Sorry, I haven't explained it to you before, but our company's situation is indeed very special.
"In the very early days of the company's establishment, that is, before the first game was launched, I signed a very demanding investment agreement with this investor.
"So strictly speaking, this investor is against the reverse. Paradise Games has absolute control, and I, strictly speaking, am just a senior worker.
"It's just that she doesn't appear often because she is busy with other things."
Gu Fan paused for a moment and continued: "What you have seen so far, we All the ideas for the company’s games come from this investor.
“She has her own unique set of concepts and ideas for game design, and rarely accepts other people’s opinions. "Even I can only give her some very limited advice, and it may not be adopted.
“She is very confident in her idea and cannot change it.
“So, once our design draft is finalized, no modifications can be made. Especially for the core concept of this game, there cannot be any deviation.
“When she comes to the company this time, she will talk to you alone and ask some questions about project development. Of course, she may also ask some questions involving me.
“Now everyone has None of them have jobs, so I have a day to think carefully about how to answer.
"Okay, that's all I have to say. Let's move freely."
After Gu Fan finished speaking, he returned to his seat and browsed the web page as if nothing had happened.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, completely confused as to the intention of Gu Fan's words.
All current designs come from this investor?
Is Mr. Gu just a tool man?
What questions do investors want to ask us? Why do we still need to spend a day thinking about how to answer?
Strange.
Mr. Gu’s words may sound calm at first glance, but upon closer inspection they seem to contain a hidden mystery.
Everyone continued to do their own things, but they were all a little absent-minded, subconsciously thinking about Gu Fan's problem.
……
noon.
Zhou Yang and Zhao Haiquan went to dinner together.
The situation of "Fire Thief" has improved, and its popularity has continued to increase. The initial sales were already good, and now it is expected to reach new highs, and everyone's worries have naturally disappeared.
But the words Gu Fan said still lingered in everyone's minds, lingering.
"䱱said...what do you mean by what Mr. Gu said?
"I can tell that Mr. Gu attaches great importance to the fact that investors want to ask us questions, but what exactly do investors want to ask? What does Mr. Gu want us to answer?" Zhao Haiquan looked puzzled.
At this time, the person in the entire company who is most loyal to Gu Fan is probably Zhao Haiquan.
With this bonus, who wouldn’t be confused?
Then you must sacrifice your life and blood for Mr. Gu!
Mr. Gu’s problem is our problem. If we can’t solve it, do we still deserve to eat the bowl of rice given by Mr. Gu?
But Zhao Haiquan really couldn't figure it out, so he wanted to ask Zhou Yang if he had any ideas.
Zhou Yang picked up a chopstick and picked up the free pickles provided by the hotel, and said seriously: "I really have a guess, but I'm not sure if it's right."
Zhao Haiquan raised his eyebrows: "Huh? Tell me."
Zhou Yang thought for a while and said: "Don't you think it's strange? There are five games. Five! Each one was in various situations when it was released, and was Players scolded them furiously, but one or several bugs appeared in every game.
“They are obviously design loopholes and unexpected situations, but in the end they all become the core. The gameplay brings the game back to life!
"If this problem occurs in one or two games, it can be said to be pure luck. After all, who doesn't win five yuan when buying scratch tickets? It's not surprising that there is a European Emperor in this world.
"Continuous All five games have this kind of BUG? How to explain this? There's no way to explain it!
"If I want to believe that these are all BUGs, then I am a der!"
Zhao Haiquan's eyes were a little confused: "This... purely from the perspective of code and probability, this is indeed very... Outrageous, but besides BUG, is there any other more reasonable explanation?"
Zhou Yang nodded: "This problem has troubled me for a long time. From the first day I joined the company, I couldn't figure it out. .
"Anyway, I think there must be monsters when things go wrong, and there must be ghosts when things go awry. What ghost? There must be someone behind it!
"Most of these bugs were deliberately written by someone and stuffed into the game code. of.
“There are so many game codes. As long as they are hidden carefully enough, it is normal for our company’s testers to be unable to find them. With millions of players playing our games, the probability of finding bugs will naturally be greatly increased. "
Zhao Haiquan was even more surprised: "Someone deliberately inserted a bug?
"Isn't it possible? There are only two front-end programs in our company, one is Brother Dahui and the other is Mr. Gu! Brother Dahui came in halfway. It was definitely not him, so couldn't it just be Mr. Gu?
"But isn't Mr. Gu taking off his pants and farting? He is the boss, so what if he just makes these mechanisms generously?"
