When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay

Lilith's Negative Emotion Collection Office has already had many industries in the human world, and naturally it also has a group of "key employees".

Qin Fengliang is one of them.

There are only a small number of these key employees, and they have basically been selected and screened repeatedly by Lilith. They are basically completely trustworthy in the eyes of hell demons.

Basically, they all signed different contracts with the devil, but they were not necessarily as strict as Gu Fan's contract.

Originally, Lilith did not plan to use this power, but now, as her progress in new business has been repeatedly frustrated, she finally began to consider finding a more reliable helper.

Among these key employees, Qin Fengliang is one of the outstanding talents, and was favored by Lilith for his outstanding performance in the haunted house project.

Moreover, Qin Fengliang is also a young man and has a good understanding of games and various cultural industries. Although he is not an industry insider, he is enough to give Lilith advice as a think tank.

After listening to Lilith's explanation of the causes and consequences, Qin Fengliang roughly understood the current situation.

"So... Mr. Li, your main problem now is that "Ascension" has not collected enough negative emotions as you hoped?"

Lilith nodded: "Yes!

"Hey, I'm still wondering until now. This is obviously a game with 100 bugs! 100 bugs!

“These bugs can obviously create a lot of negative emotions in other games, but in this game, players just pretend they don’t see them…

"Forget it, this matter is almost over, and the game "Ascension" cannot be modified anymore. I'm afraid it will be difficult to turn around.

"I mainly want you to help me analyze it. Do you think there is anything wrong with Gu Fan? What is the reason for every bug in the game? And... is there anything that can be improved in the next game?"

Qin Fengliang rubbed his chin and thought seriously.

"Although it's a little suspicious, it's still not enough to convict. I think Mr. Li, you should observe it again.

“However, I do have an idea about the game Ascension.

"If it's feasible, maybe we can save it and squeeze out some more negative emotions!"

Lilith was a little surprised: "Oh? Really? But the game cannot be modified."

Qin Fengliang nodded: "No need to modify it. Mr. Li, I suddenly had an idea based on the current status of this game. Do you know that similar action games have a relatively niche gameplay called... speed Pass?"

Lilith's eyes were shining, and she thought Qin Fengliang had some good ideas, but she was instantly discouraged when she heard the word "speed pass".

"Huh? That's it? Of course I know!

"Both "Sisyphus" and "Lemurs" have seen speed-running crazes among players, but... this has not significantly improved the collection of negative emotions!

"Even the speed-running competition in the game "Sisyphus" completely had the opposite effect, and the negative emotions collected were greatly reduced!"

Lilith put her hand on her forehead and didn't think this was possible at all.

Qin Fengliang shook his head slightly: "Mr. Li, you can't be so arbitrary when looking at problems, you have to analyze specific problems in detail.

"First of all, let's not talk about "The Hellboy". This speedrunning competition called the "Septic Tank Butterfly Contest" is not only popular, but also generates a lot of negative emotions. It is definitely a quite successful case. Right? ?”

Lilith nodded: "Yes... indeed."

The negative emotions of the hell lemures were indeed considerable, and she got three-quarters of them.

Qin Fengliang continued: "As for "Sisyphus", this game has indeed generated a lot of positive emotions because of speed running, but Mr. Li, if you think about it carefully, why exactly?"

Lilith thought about it for a moment: "Is it because... the bug of the five consecutive dragons flapping their wings allows speedrunners to experience happiness?"

Qin Fengliang shook his head: "No, this is only a small part of the reason.

"The most important reason is that those who participate in the "Sisyphus" speedrun are basically professional speedrun players, and no ordinary players join!

“These two types of people have different levels of tolerance for speedrunning, and naturally the negative emotions they generate are also different!”

After listening to Qin Fengliang's explanation, Lilith couldn't help but show a sudden expression, as if she had some realization.

That makes sense!

This is the same problem as the haunted house "Purgatory".

Qin Fengliang divides the target groups of haunted houses into two types of people, one is horror enthusiasts, and the other is ordinary tourists.

For those horror enthusiasts, their appeal is that the scarier the better, the scarier the better. This group of people have a relatively high tolerance level, so they have less negative emotions when they are frightened than ordinary people, and after the fright is over The sage's time generates far more positive emotions than ordinary people.

Therefore, for these horror lovers, the scarier the haunted house is, the more they like it, and the less cost-effective it is for Lilith, because the happiness of the sage's time can offset many of the negative emotions previously generated.

Qin Fengliang gave the optimal solution for collecting emotions according to his own plan and achieved great success.

Obviously, she still holds the same view on speedrunning.

"Mr. Li, I think the reason why these previous speedrunning activities did not have very good results is ultimately due to one reason: they failed to allow ordinary players to participate deeply!

“For professional speed pass players, there are relatively few negative emotions generated during the speed pass process, and more positive emotions are generated after a successful speed pass, or after completing the operation of five consecutive dragons flapping their wings. This news Under the circumstances, this is a losing business.

"What about ordinary players? They are very self-aware and will not try speedrunning at all.

"So, the previous speedrunning event was like opening a very scary haunted house. It discouraged ordinary tourists from the beginning, and only horror game enthusiasts came in. This is definitely not cost-effective!

“But if we can find a way to attract ordinary players and make them suffer in speedrunning over and over again...

"It can significantly improve the negative emotions generated by "Ascension"!"

Lilith frowned and thought for a while, suddenly feeling that Qin Fengliang's words opened the door to a new world for her, and they actually made sense!

Especially since this theory can be verified with the successful experience of haunted houses, it seems very convincing.

“Hmm…that makes sense!

"Then what exactly should be done?"

Qin Fengliang was indeed a master of planning, and he quickly thought of a simple plan.

"It's easy to handle. Mr. Li, you can go directly to the live broadcast platform or video website and hold a national speedrunning competition of "Ascension".

“This competition can be divided into many different tracks, and everyone is free to sign up to participate.

“These are similar to ordinary speedrunning competitions, with the key points being the following two regulations:

"First, in order to encourage new players to join, we can set some goals for new players. For example, divide the game into four stages. In each stage, as long as you complete the speed pass and reach a certain time, then even if you do not get a ranking, you can Get the reward directly!

“Instead, it’s the final ranking reward, it doesn’t need to be given too much, or it doesn’t even need to be attractive.

“For example, if every new player who completes the speedrun goal can get 10 yuan, then the person who ends up in first place will only get 100 yuan at most.

“We need to reduce the positive emotional value that professional speedrunners get from this event as much as possible, and at the same time attract ordinary players as much as possible!

"Second, isn't there a two-player mode in the game? We can use this mode to attract more players to speed pass, just like the "attract new people" or "kill one" mode of many shopping software, as long as the player attracts a new player If you complete the two-player mode with yourself, not only will the conditions for obtaining rewards become more relaxed, but the rewards will also be significantly improved!

"As for the specific reward...

"I think it's best to give real money as a reward, either by giving away games, physical props, or directly giving cash. Anyway, Mr. Li is not short of this amount of money."

The more Lilith listened, the more reliable she felt. At the end, she even grabbed Qin Fengliang's hand: "Okay! I really saw you right, you are definitely my most beloved general!"

Qin Fengliang's method is simple but effective.

Previous speedrunning competitions were all free to participate, so only experienced speedrunning players would actually participate, and ordinary players were not interested at all.

Definitely not enough negative emotions to collect.

But this competition is different. In terms of prize distribution, it is mainly tilted towards ordinary players. They don't need to compete with those speed-running masters. They only need to follow the speed-running process and complete a very low clearance goal. In other words, they only need to compare with themselves.

And considering the existence of the two-player mode, players will try their best to attract people, just like some shopping websites, which will disturb people and may also produce some obvious negative emotions.

Thinking of this, Lilith stood up immediately.

"Okay! From now on, you will be the chief marketing consultant of our Nitiantian game! This "Ascension" speedrunning competition, which is completely different from the previous one, is your debut. I believe you will be successful immediately!

"You write down the planning plan for this event and leave the rest to me!"
