Game Development: Driving Players Crazy at the Start

Chapter 14

“FlappyBird” has been released for more than half a month, and its simple and self-abusing gameplay has caused countless players to collapse.

The game is on fire, the players are angry, and the designer is about to cool down.

Countless players who have been fooled into the pit have begun to spontaneously look for the designer who designed this devil game, and want to add a Buff that fans care about in person!

Fortunately, although the “FlappyBird” game is on fire at this time, Fang Zheng, as a game designer who has just debuted, only has this work, and his reputation in the industry can be said to be small.

So most players don’t know the identity of Fang Zheng, nor do they have Fang Zheng’s Weibo.

Otherwise, Fang Zheng may not want to sleep well these days. Every time he closes his eyes, he sees countless players walking towards him with grinning smiles. It feels terrifying to think about it.

The popularity of “FlappyBird” is not only on the live broadcast platform, some video platforms have more videos about “FlappyBird”.

Someone edited the moments of the crash of major anchors playing “FlappyBird”, among which the big anchors such as Daxiaomei and Saozhu were the most.

The little girl was crying, and Saozhu crashed and smashed the computer, causing the live broadcast room to fall into chaos.

After the major broadcasters have played “FlappyBird”, the expression of irreverence has become a source of joy for the majority of players.

Is there anything happier than seeing others suffering?

The answer is no!

In addition to these videos of the moment the player crashes, there are also many high-play science popularization strategies for “FlappyBird”.

Some people even calculated the rising and falling speed of the “FlappyBird” game, the sausage-billed bird that countless players love and hate.

Use a ruler to measure the length of the obstacle and the width of the gap, how many milliseconds can the mouse click to safely pass through the gap, etc…

After a show of operation, countless players were amazed.

Gaowan deserves to be Gaowan. It is this dedicated professionalism that makes them ashamed.

And these popular science strategy videos also let many players understand the importance of learning, especially mathematics and physics.

Even some teachers who teach these subjects say that their students have become diligent and eager to learn, and often ask them questions about speed and formulas.

Other teachers complained, complaining that students were not secretly studying physics or mathematics in their class, and even wondered if the teachers of these two subjects left too much homework.

How else would they learn physics and mathematics in their class?

The explosion of “FlappyBird” has made countless people marvel at the resilience of this group of players.

In all fairness, if you are asked to do something that is extremely self-abusing, I am afraid that most of it will not be able to persist.

But the players did it, not only did it, but also enjoyed it.

Self-abuse is the process, and the sense of accomplishment is the result. Many people are shocked by the strong character that the players show not to admit defeat.

On the other hand, Fang Zheng didn’t pay much attention to things on the Internet, because he finally received his first game sales profit.

Carrying a huge sum of more than 10 million yuan, Fang Zheng felt himself stiff in an instant.

The waist is no longer sore, the legs are no longer sore, and the whole person is refreshed.

With sales of more than 10 million, excluding the commission from the fantasy game platform, it is estimated that his game has sold nearly 3 million copies!

For novice designers, this is definitely a breakthrough data!

Fang Zheng, who received a huge sum of money, certainly wouldn’t be wronging himself. He changed his residence and left the small rental house before.

He originally planned to buy a house by himself, but after asking about the house price of the magic city, Fang Zheng found out that he had 10 million yuan and he was still a poor man!

Reluctantly, Fang Zheng could only give up this idea temporarily and set a small goal for himself.

Earn it for a villa first!

Feeling of his poverty, Fang Zheng urgently needs to open up sources of funds.

Before thinking about it, I had complained that the game “FlappyBird” could not be connected, Fang Zheng upgraded “FlappyBird”.

The upgrade is simple, just adding ranking and networking functions.

With the addition of this function, the mobile phone and PC can realize data exchange, and it also allows players to see more clearly what level of their scores are.

Moreover, Fang Zheng added an advertising space after the game ‘gameover’.

This ad space will only appear with the word ‘gameover’ after the death of the bird controlled by the player, and will not affect the player’s gaming experience.

But for Fang Zheng, this advertising space is a huge source of income.

Although no one has come to him to discuss advertising cooperation.

“Ding Lingling~Ding Lingling~”

Fang Zheng had just finished everything, and the phone rang.

Fang Zheng is a little puzzled. He doesn’t have any friends in this world. There is a lonely family. Who will call him?

“Hello, who?”

“Hello, is it Mr. Fang?”

On the other end of the phone was a little girl who spoke very crisply. Fang Zheng raised the corner of his mouth when he heard what the other party said.

“Sorry you made a mistake. My last name is Fang, but I’m not Mr.”

“…”

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, it is estimated that the other party has fallen into a mess~

“That’s right, this is the phone number left on the platform?”

There was a small whisper on the other side of the phone, with a little doubt and suspiciousness.

“Excuse me, are you Mr. Fang Zheng, the game designer who designed FlappyBird? I’m the customer service of Fantasy Game Platform.”

Hearing the voice of the other party was a little lacking in confidence, Fang Zheng didn’t intend to tease the other party, and directly admitted.

“I am Fang Zheng, the designer of FlappyBird.”

Phoo~

There was a long sigh of relief from the receiver, and the customer service lady on the other side expressed her intentions.

“That’s Mr. Fang, first of all congratulations to your work “FlappyBird” for winning the monthly sales champion of this platform, and it broke the sales record of D-level game designer works on this platform.”

“Secondly, this platform intends to invite you to participate in the awards ceremony, and there will be an interview with Game Fengyun later. I wonder if Mr. Fang has time?”

Awards ceremony?

Interview?

Fang Zheng frowned slightly. He wasn’t very interested in the award ceremony, but he was a little looking forward to the interview with Game Fengyun.

I can take this opportunity to promote my second work, the ‘inspiring’ “Overcome Difficulties with Bennett Foday.”

“What about the time?”

“The time is set for July 16, Sunday. What does Mr. Fang mean?”

“Okay, I will pass on time.”

Fang Zheng communicated with the other party’s customer service for a while, and declined the other party’s kindness to send a car to pick him up.

As a game designer who goes further and further down the road to death, he feels it is necessary to keep his private address a secret.
