Chapter 309 Game Exhibition
What Gu Fan said is indeed the truth.
To be honest, is Wanxiang Editor really so full of bugs? Not really.
Although it has many new technologies and new mechanisms, it is not as stable as the old version of the editor, so that other companies do not like to use it, but it is not like any game you make will have 100 bugs.
The reason why there were so many bugs in "Ascension" before was because Gu Fan deliberately left them out in order to fulfill Lilith's "100 bugs" requirement.
In fact, if you really fix it seriously, there are a lot of model and texture bugs among these 100 bugs, which are easy to fix.
After the great success of "Ascension", both the official and other game companies are very encouraged. Not only the official has made several major updates to the Vientiane Editor, but other game companies also have many options. Use Vientiane Editor to develop your own new games.
So, although there are still a small number of game companies using this editor, it can indeed be used reluctantly.
Compared with traditional editors, Vientiane Editor is more powerful and complex.
So there are two paths before the "Endless Fantasy Legend" project team at this time.
The first way is to use the original engine to make it. The advantage is that it has fewer bugs and is stable. However, some unique designs in the game, such as the gravity system and the resulting physical effects, require additional production, and the workload is still huge.
The second way is to use the latest version of Vientiane Editor. The advantage lies in new functions such as gravity system and time system. This editor has similar modules that can be quickly implemented. But the downside is that there may be more bugs.
Even if the testing team tests carefully and the program is fully repaired, there will eventually be fish that slip through the net.
In comparison, the development speed will be faster using Vientiane Editor.
Wei Chengjie nodded: "Okay, Mr. Gu, then we will use the Vientiane Editor to develop it. It just so happens that several of our key programmers here have also used this editor to develop "Ascension", and also It’s considered a certain amount of experience.”
Gu Fan wandered around again to check out today's recruitment situation.
After Nitiantian issued a recruitment request, he was immediately filled with resumes from all over the country.
After all, Nitiantian Games has many successful projects, and even traditional MMORPGs such as "Shadow World" can operate stably. It is obvious that it is a prosperous and prosperous game company. Coupled with the urban legends of various bonuses, it is still very attractive to talents.
Xiao Mingyu is currently responsible for the initial interviews with these people, mainly to confirm the authenticity of resumes and verify some basic information.
After that, the heads of each department will be interviewed to determine the business capabilities and enter the probation period.
After the interview was completed, Xiao Mingyu distributed several resumes that had passed the interview today to the heads of various departments, and then made a brief report to Gu Fan.
Gu Fan is quite satisfied with the current recruitment progress.
“By the way, Mr. Gu, there is one more thing.”
Xiao Mingyu took a printed leaflet from the desk nearby: “Three months later, in the Demon There is a large game exhibition over there.
“The organizer of the exhibition invites us to go there. It’s up to you to decide whether we want to participate. ”
Gu Fan took a look at the flyer. The event was called "Magic City International Game Art Festival Expo". According to the promotional content on the flyer, this was a large-scale international exhibition integrating game hardware, software, related media and services.
To put it bluntly, all kinds of game-related hardware manufacturers and game companies will participate in this exhibition, which is quite large. For some invited key companies, the exhibition will arrange large booths and corresponding trial areas.
At the same time, on the big screen in the main venue, major game manufacturers or hardware manufacturers can also promote their new products or games, and take this opportunity to promote their products to domestic and foreign game media. A focused exposure and presentation.
There is no doubt that this is an excellent opportunity for some emerging domestic game manufacturers.
Nitiantian Games is currently quite famous in the domestic gaming industry. Its past few games have all been huge successes, so the organizers are giving it some face. As long as Nitian Games confirms its attendance, it will be allocated a large exhibition area, and the official will also provide dozens of trial equipment.
Of course, the specific layout of the booth and related maintenance still need to be solved by Nitian Games itself.
Gu Fan thought for a while and quickly made a decision: "Go! If there is such an opportunity, of course it can be used to promote our new game.
"In this way, we will seize the time and first Develop a trial demo for "Endless Fantasy Legend". At the same time, a test version of the 70 version of "Shadow World" can also be produced and brought to the exhibition.
“These two games are the main contents of our exhibition.
"The official should give us about 60 trial devices, tentatively as follows: 25 devices for "Endless Fantasy Legend", 25 devices for "Shadow World" 70 version, and 10 devices for Inverse Heaven Other games such as "Ascension"
"In addition, we will make additional promotional videos for the 70th version of "Endless Fantasy Legend" and "Shadow World" for large-screen playback and display. . "
Xiao Mingyu nodded: "Okay, Mr. Gu, I will make arrangements right away. "
The current promotional video of "Shadow World" is easy to say, because it is already in the development plan of the 70 version.
The promotional video mainly shows the new races and new groups of the 70 version , the new map areas are generally quite satisfactory, but after all, they are specially made CG, so the accuracy will be higher
"Endless Fantasy Legend" has not yet produced special CG, and there is no need to produce that kind of traditional CG.
Gu Fan’s idea is that after the demo is finished, he can just choose a few scenes in the demo and make a simple promotional video using the actual demonstration of the game content. This will save time and effort. After all, this game It also wins based on gameplay.
The focus is still on the trial session at the press conference.
If it is other game companies, then the trial phase is relatively simple. Anyway, if you throw the demo on it, as long as it’s not too bad, it won’t overturn.
But Nitiantian Game is different, because the trial demo must be tested not only by the players, but also by Mr. Li.
After all, the trial demo is not the official version. After this exhibition is over, everyone will continue to modify the game before it can be officially launched online.
Then the question is, what if Lilith discovers some clues during the trial and thinks that the game will not collect enough negative emotions after it is officially released, and strictly demands Gu Fan to make major changes?
Therefore, the reputation of players during the trial session at the exhibition is very important.
It should not be too high, causing Lilith to question the content of the game and force Gu Fan to make major changes; but it should not be too low, otherwise the exhibition will ruin the reputation and players of the official version of the game will not come to play.
The degree of this must be carefully grasped.
