Chapter 146 A game with 100 bugs (first update)
“Gu Fan, we will start preparations for the next game immediately!”
Lilith was very angry, but obviously, No matter how angry she was at this time, she couldn't do anything. She could only turn her grief into strength and develop the next game as soon as possible.
After all, as long as the next game can collect as much negative emotions as "Lemmon", then everything is possible.
Gu Fan nodded quickly: "No problem, Mr. Li. You just need to speak your mind boldly, and I will definitely find ways to help you realize it!"
Lilith thought for a moment: "Well, let's make another skin-changing game of "Hell Lemurs".
"Since such a simple and rubbish game can indeed collect a large amount of negative emotion points, then What else are you trying to design for? "
Gu Fan couldn't help being surprised: "Mr. Li, think twice! This obviously doesn’t work! "
Lilith narrowed her eyes: "Why not? "
Gu Fan quickly explained earnestly: "Because this routine can only be played once!
"Haven't you heard the story of the boy who cried wolf?
"The reason why "Lemur" can collect so many negative emotions is entirely the result of the right time, place and people working together.
“But the players have already participated in the septic tank butterfly swimming competition once, how can they do it a second time?
“We in Nitiantian have finally accumulated a good reputation. The next game It’s time for games to find ways to monetize these reputations and earn a lot of negative emotions.
“If we make a reskinned game of "The Hellboy", not only will we not gain negative emotions, but our reputation will also collapse, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
"I think we can just let Azazel do this kind of thing. When the time comes, we will directly earn negative emotion points from him, and there is no need for you, Mr. Li, to take action yourself."
Lilith thought about it. I thought: "Hmm... that seems to be the case."
"Then, you can design the next game!" "
Gu Fan was stunned for a moment: "Huh? I'll come? "
Lilith nodded: "Yes, you come." ”
Happiness came so suddenly that it was hard for Gu Fan to accept it for a while.
You know, before, Lilith was guarding against him as much as she was guarding against a thief. Not to mention asking Gu Fan to come up with a design plan, she was not even allowed to make any suggestions.
Later, as Lilith gradually trusted Gu Fan and her own ideas became less and less, she began to allow Gu Fan to speak freely and provide some inspiration during the brainstorming session.
But this time, due to Gu Fan's outstanding performance in the battle for "Hell's Evil Demons" and Lilith's own lack of inspiration, can he finally be allowed to come up with a design plan?
Gu Fan was quite moved.
However, Lilith changed the topic: "But I want to make a few requirements, and your design plan must meet all of them.
"And, after your design plan is completed, I have to personally check it. You'd better not have any small thoughts, otherwise..."
Gu Fan nodded: "Of course, I have always been a person who understands current affairs. ”
Obviously, as a suspicious hell demon, no matter what Lilith said, she never completely let go of her doubts about Gu Fan.
Let Gu Fan design the game this time , is both an opportunity and a trial.
Crisis and opportunity coexist. At times like this, we must not get carried away and walk on thin ice.
Lilith thought about it carefully and then raised three fingers.
"First of all, this new game must have a lot of bugs! Well... there are at least 100 bugs!"
This first point directly made Gu Fanlei burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
"Huh? Mr. Li, can you say it again?"
Lilith repeated it seriously: "I said this game must have at least 100 bugs."
Gu Fan was confused: "Why??"
Lilith said seriously : "Because I found that the bugs in the game seemed to be endless. I used to always want to find all the bugs and fix them, but the final result was that all the bugs that affected the experience were found and fixed, but BUGs that generate positive emotions stick around every time!
“Then why spend so much time fixing BUGs? It makes no sense at all!
“So, let’s not fix the bugs this time. Except for the extremely serious bugs that will cause our game to be removed from the shelves, we will fix the other bugs if we can!
< br>
"This can be said to kill two birds with one stone:
"On the one hand, there are many bugs in the game, which affects the players' experience, and they will naturally have negative emotions; on the other hand, because there are too many bugs, even if they really exist in the game A major BUG that can change the gameplay will just be like a drop of water falling into the ocean, and the players will not be able to find it at all! "
Lilith put her hands on her hips triumphantly, obviously very confident in her genius idea.
Gu Fan couldn't help but be in awe. She is indeed the number one producer in hell, Lilith This reverse thinking is quite powerful, and to a certain extent, it really hits Gu Fan's Achilles' heel.
Because Gu Fan still wants to maintain Ni Tiantian's good reputation as much as possible.
Are there any games that have a lot of bugs but are also popular?
Yes, but it is basically impossible to have a good reputation.
Gu Fan has only seen two types of games like this: one is that the game itself is of excellent quality and large enough, so even if there are some bugs, players can barely tolerate it, but the reputation will not be good.
The other type is spoofing. When the game is full of bugs and the bugs become program effects, players can play it with a more relaxed attitude. However, this kind of game can only be said to be funny. It can't be a classic game.
A game with a lot of bugs and still being a god?
Gu Fan has indeed never heard of it.
You can't just brainwash all players and force them to think that these 100 BUGs are not BUGs, right?
He was silent for a moment and struggled symbolically: "But the current official game editor is quite stable and has many mature templates. I'm afraid there are not enough bugs.
" You can't deliberately not use templates just to collect 100 bugs, right? That's too weird.
"And that will seriously slow down the development progress."
Lilith chuckled: "That's your problem. In short, I want 100 BUGs, and the development progress cannot be delayed."
The corner of Gu Fan's mouth twitched slightly: "彳亍..."
Damn Party A!
Lilith continued: "Second, I don't want to do a Western fantasy theme this time, so I want to change my painting style."
Gu Fan was surprised again: "Why?"
"A professional counterpart in the Western fantasy genre, why don't you do it?" "
Lilith sighed: "It's just because it fits so well!
“I thought about it carefully, and there will be two problems if we continue to make Western fantasy themes.
“The first is that the game graphics are too good. We want to create negative emotions for players. You don’t need such a good picture! ”
Gu Fan hurriedly interrupted her: "Mr. Li, I disagree with this.
"Although the ultimate purpose of our game is to collect negative emotions, after all, the gameplay is more discouraging, and we need to use the screen as much as possible. Lure players in as much as possible and keep them for a longer period of time, so that the negative emotions generated will be as high as possible. "
Lilith nodded: "Of course I know this!
“Didn’t I always think like this before?
“But the situation is different now. Our games are always successful and the reputation is so good. We need to lower the picture quality to hedge! ”
Gu Fan choked twice. He didn't think of a way to continue to refute, so he could only nod: "Okay... there's nothing wrong with it."
Lilith continued: "The second problem with Western fantasy themes is recognition. It’s too high!
“We are in the East, and Western fantasy itself is a niche genre. There are not many companies doing it. We keep publishing, and players keep paying attention... This is not good.
"What if we want to change companies and run away in the future? We have to try other themes in advance, so that players can't recognize them at a glance."
The corner of Gu Fan's mouth twitched slightly: "Mr. Li, you can It’s so thoughtful.”
Lilith took two steps in the living room: "As for the third point... I hope this is an action game, and the higher the difficulty, the better!
"Because our company has never done this before It's an action game, so I want to try it. "
Gu Fan knew full well that Lilith said "I want to try it", but in fact it was all deliberate.
Why make an action game?
The reason is simple, the threshold for this kind of game is high!
Only a few top studios around the world can play action games, and other small companies can only make one after another.
Because there are too many details in action games, such as action design, skill impact, sound effects, skill effects...basically they are all very different.
Each place is slightly different, and the final result is that it is impossible to play.
In addition, this request can be combined with Lilith’s first request to form a combo punch!
Lilith mandates that this game must have 100 bugs. An action game has 100 bugs? That means there is no hope!
Gu Fan's expression was a bit complicated: "Mr. Li, your demands are too high, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet the requirements..."
