When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay

Thursday, July 17, 6:50 p.m.

Although it was already off-duty time, several core members did not leave.

Because Mr. Gu had already taken care of it in advance, Mr. Li was coming today and had something very important to announce.

Zhou Yang and Wei Chengjie have no work at hand now, and 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 plenty 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 volume of the micro-handle steering wheel is 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 of the more realistic rally games play well. Of course, to do this requires hundreds of millions of hours of practice.

The traffic 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, they are in the experience store with other fans of the same genre. Playing, obviously the atmosphere will 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 just stick it on their own e-mules.

There are even stickers attached to shared bicycles, which 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!

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, paid work is worth it!

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 so!

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"!

And that's the case with Mr. Gu.

Just like a programmer, if the code he writes has few bugs, 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 it seems that Mr. Gu hasn't come yet? Let's all wait for him."

After saying that, she looked at Wei Chengjie again: "Old Wei, I have something to ask you. Come with me."

Wei Chengjie pointed at 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 duties 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 come up with some incomprehensible ideas. If it weren't for Mr. Gu, a god-level programmer, to help her. Come on, this company has long since gone bankrupt.

Wei Chengjie never had a good impression of this kind of person, so he stayed 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 made the game popular, right?"

Wei Chengjie nodded: "Yes, I have been analyzing it these days and want to learn some experience from it, but the result of the analysis is that this kind of operation is too difficult and cannot be learned at all!

"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: "That's not my focus.

"I want you to analyze it from a professional design perspective. What if, I mean what 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 benefits. Happy, then... can 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 figure out 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 gave his own answer.

"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 point to make the game popular is definitely a completely different level of difficulty than deliberately burying a hidden mechanism in the game to make the game popular!

"Because it is difficult to find existing mechanisms, but there are still traces to follow in complex codes. And looking for this mechanism can be tried repeatedly. If it doesn't work once, then twice, and if it doesn't work twice, then 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’s the initial design of the game, the problems encountered during the game development process, or the changes in the market environment after the game is released... these all affect the whole body.

“If someone can make a garbage game popular with so many variables, and still make a foolproof plan...

"Then I think it's important to be a god of game design. I'd like to put his portrait in my house and pray and kowtow three times a day."

Lilith lowered her head and fell into deep 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.

Sure enough, Gu Fan had arrived and had 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, is that so? That's because I didn't pay attention to the time. Everyone, come to the meeting and let's talk about the new game."

Everyone took their seats.

When Gu Fan saw Wei Chengjie, he actually already knew what kind of medicine Lilith Gourd was selling. 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 wrongly.

What the hell? Bought a game?

Wait, aren’t we a gaming company ourselves?
