Chapter 253 Aren’t we just game companies ourselves
July 17, Thursday, 6:50 pm.
Although it is already off-duty time, several core members have not left.
Because Mr. Gu has already taken care of it in advance, Mr. Li is coming today and has something very important to announce.
Zhou Yang and Wei Chengjie have no work at hand now. They are happily drinking coffee and browsing the web at their respective workstations.
By now, Road Rage Simulator's initial buzz has passed, but the game still has a lot of staying power.
There is still a steady stream of new players joining, and there are also a group of old players who are practicing defensive driving skills in the game.
The sales of micro-handle steering wheels are unexpectedly good. The first batch of stock has been sold out. The factory is seizing the time to increase production capacity. In particular, this controller is also favored by many racing players, who use it to play other racing games.
Even some more realistic rally games can play well. Of course, if you want to do this, you need hundreds of millions of hours of practice.
The customer flow of Nitiantian game experience store has also increased significantly recently. Nearby Nitiantian game players have come to visit one after another. Although most of them have played Nitiantian games, in the experience store and If other fans of the same genre play together, the atmosphere will obviously be better.
As for the somewhat nonsensical QR code sign, the players who got it have gone from contempt to pride and have all posted it on their cars.
There are also some people who don’t have cars, so they stick it on their own e-mules.
There are even stickers attached to shared bicycles, and they are deducted every time you transfer.
These somewhat nonsensical contrasting images were photographed by netizens, bringing another wave of popularity to "Road Rage Simulator".
Even the game "Hell Racing" is getting better?
When he first played this game, Wei Chengjie thought it was hopeless. Who would play such a strange racing game?
Although everyone knows that the company Hellfront has received investment from Nitian Games, everyone has always been unable to understand the games they produced.
If Wei Chengjie had been left to make the decision himself, he would have given up on this game long ago.
But I never expected that at this critical moment, a hot blue man would appear!
Mr. Gu returned like a hero and led everyone on a surprise attack. He actually found a special hidden mechanism in the game, and then relied on this hidden mechanism to make the game popular. Got it!
Wei Chengjie couldn't help but sigh, he really came to the game of Nitiantian at the right time!
Not to mention how generous the bonuses here are, as long as you can learn top game design techniques from Mr. Gu, it is worth paying to work!
What? Does anyone think Mr. Gu’s game design level is average? Many designs were not made by him?
nonono, it’s too superficial to think like this!
As a game designer, Wei Chengjie is the one who understands Mr. Gu’s potential best.
If a game designer can design the game very well, then he can only be called an "excellent designer". Only by revitalizing a crappy game and completing a dramatic turnaround can one be called the "top god-level designer"!
That’s the case with Mr. Gu.
Just like a programmer, the code he writes has few bugs, and people may not think he is very powerful. But if a programmer takes over a mountain of ancestral code and can optimize it without new bugs, this is truly incredible!
Anyone who really does this will understand the difference.
Asking himself, Wei Chengjie felt that he could not handle any of the messes that Mr. Gu took over. It was precisely for this reason that he admired Mr. Gu so much.
Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, Mr. Gu didn't come, but Mr. Li came first.
Lilith stepped in and looked around at everyone: "Well, there are quite a few people here, which is good. But Mr. Gu doesn't seem to be here yet? Everyone, please wait for him."
After speaking, she looked at Wei Chengjie again: "Old Wei, I have something to ask you. Come with me."
Wei Chengjie pointed to himself in surprise: "Me?"
Lilith nodded: "Yes, you."
Wei Chengjie followed Lilith confusedly to a small conference room that had been renovated in the villa.
Since joining Nitiantian Games, Wei Chengjie has only been responsible for his own work and has not had much interaction with this investor who is not liked by everyone.
Wei Chengjie himself didn’t take her seriously. It looked like a princess from a wealthy family was here to experience life. She would often give some inexplicable ideas. If it weren’t for Mr. Gu, The god-level programmers helped her with this. This company had already gone bankrupt.
Wei Chengjie has never had a good impression of this kind of person, so he keeps away from him. But he didn't expect that the investor would talk to him by name today, which surprised Wei Chengjie.
The two of them took their seats.
Lilith asked straight to the point: "Old Wei, the question I'm going to ask next is very important. You must answer it seriously."
Wei Chengjie nodded without knowing why.
Lilith narrowed her eyes slightly: "Old Wei, you have experienced the whole process of "Hell Racing". Mr. Gu found a special hidden mechanism in the game, and then made the game popular Right?"
Wei Chengjie nodded: "Yes, I have been analyzing it these days and want to learn some experience, but the result of the analysis is that this operation is too difficult. Can't learn!
"But don't worry, Mr. Li, I will definitely keep up my efforts and try to follow Mr. Gu's footsteps as soon as possible!"
Lilith waved her hands slightly: "My focus is not on this.
"I want to Let you analyze it from a professional design perspective. If, I mean if, Gu Fan has the ability to find a hidden bug or mechanism in the game, thereby making the game popular and allowing players to gain a lot of happiness, then... …Could he also deliberately hide a hidden bug or mechanism in the game, and then find it himself and make the game popular? ”
Wei Chengjie couldn’t help being surprised, and couldn’t understand what Lilith was thinking for a while.
However, after careful consideration, he thought of the rules in the Ghost Stories of the City Against Heaven, and still gave
"Mr. Li, I think this is almost impossible.
"Mr. Li, you have to understand that finding a hidden mechanism in the game as a breakthrough to make the game popular is different from deliberately burying yourself in the game. The next hidden mechanic that makes the game popular is definitely a completely different level of difficulty!
“Although it is difficult to find existing mechanisms, there are still traces to be followed in complex codes. And looking for this mechanism can be tried repeatedly. If it doesn’t work once, try twice. If it doesn’t work twice, Just three times.
"Didn't Mr. Gu also say that the plans he made for Hell Front all involved a lot of luck and cannot be replicated?
“But if you want to bury hidden mechanisms in advance for a ready-made game, although it is theoretically possible, there are too many interfering factors!
"Whether it is the initial design of the game, the problems encountered during the development of the game, or the changes in the market environment after the game is released... these all affect the whole body.
"If someone Under the circumstances of so many variables, he can still make a garbage game popular...
"Then I think a game design god deserves to be crowned, and I am willing to take his portrait. Place it at home and pray three times and nine times every day."
Lilith lowered her head and fell into thought: "Well, is that so..."
"Did I really blame him wrongly?
"Forget it, there's nothing else to do. Mr. Gu should be here too, let's continue with the meeting!"
Lilith said nothing more and just left the conference room with Wei Chengjie.
Gu Fan has indeed arrived and has just taken a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator nearby to prepare for the meeting.
Lilith greeted happily: "Gu Fanqi is here? You are late today!"
Gu Fan looked at the time on his phone: "Didn't we agree on 7 o'clock? ? It’s obviously Mr. Li, you’re here early.”
Lilith chuckled: "Oh, really? That's because I didn't pay attention to the time. Let's have a meeting, let's talk about the new game."
Everyone sat down one after another.
When Gu Fan saw Wei Chengjie, he actually already knew what kind of medicine Lilith Gourd sold. But he didn't point it out, he just pretended not to see anything and sat down at the conference table.
Lilith looked around at everyone and directly announced a piece of news that shocked everyone instantly.
“I bought a game!”
Everyone almost thought they heard it wrong.
What the hell? Bought a game?
Wait a minute, aren’t we a game company ourselves?
