Chapter 53: Closed Beta
The upgraded version of the game was uploaded so silently, Lu Yang didn't notify anyone, and he didn't have a sense of solemnity, so he understated it and uploaded the results of his hard work for so long. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Lu Yang chose to conduct an internal test, although this is just an upgrade game, but such a big change, from a stand-alone game to an online game, he still has no bottom in his heart.
No matter how powerful he is, he is still a person after all, and he is not sure if there will be bugs in tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 lines of code.
If he has a company or a studio, he can also conduct a closed beta to find out the bugs. But he's alone, and he doesn't have that much time and energy at all.
In order to find bugs, in order to prevent errors and omissions, Lu Yang still decided to conduct a deleted internal test first.
A total of 5,000 beta places, Lu Yang pursues the principle of first-come, first-served, and the first 5,000 people who download the game without any random lottery quota can get the qualification for the beta.
Because he didn't announce it in advance, and he didn't publicize it in advance, it was completely random which five thousand people were.
In the rental house, the six-cabinet server unit that occupies half of the room has begun to operate, and the radiator is humming, making the originally quiet rental house start to become noisy, and the heat emitted also makes the room a little stuffy.
Lu Yang walked to the window, opened the window, and a gentle breeze blew in.
Leaning against the window, blowing the wind, Lu Yang looked at the humming server, and thought to himself:
The sound insulation of this rental house is too poor, the environment is too reluctant, and more importantly, the server is placed here, and no one takes care of it at all, so I am afraid that I can come once a week, and if something goes wrong in the process, it is difficult for me to know.
Or...... Or hand over the operation of the game to the game Internet café.
As soon as this thought arose, it was immediately extinguished by Lu Yang.
If he was willing to hand over the operation rights, Lu Yang agreed as early as when Lancôme proposed this, and he would not buy a server and demolish the rental house.
Lu Yang must prefer to run the game himself.
But......
The identity of a student in the school makes Lu Yang really a little lacking, if he keeps tossing back and forth between the rental house and the school, Lu Yang can't stand it even if he is an iron man.
What to do?
Lu Yang was very distressed, but he couldn't think of any good ideas for a while.
I scratched my hair and scratched my head, but I still couldn't help it.
Blowing a cool breeze, Lu Yang's thoughts drifted around with the wind, and suddenly, an idea popped up for him......
Or...... Why don't I start a company?
As soon as this thought moved, it immediately took root in Lu Yang's heart and spread.
Lu Yang had an impulse in his heart, and he couldn't suppress this impulse.
However, he still insisted on controlling it, the idea of opening a company is very good, if it is opened well, the immediate problems can be solved, and at the same time, it can also assist his career on the right track, so that he can have a lot of people, and he can also devote more energy to the development of new products.
But if it is not good, this is a burden for Lu Yang, after all, for him, the most important thing is not money, but science and technology, if you spend too much energy on the company, even if the company is very profitable, for Lu Yang, the same gain outweighs the loss.
Lu Yang was a little entangled, but the direction of his thinking had jumped from how to solve the problem of how to solve his lack of skills to whether to start a company.
He was a little uncertain in his heart, after all, he had never been in contact with such a thing as starting a company, and he suddenly had this kind of thought, and he didn't know how to judge it at all.
"Xiao Ai, you know what I'm thinking, right?" Lu Yang asked Xiao Ai hesitantly, and he decided to find someone to advise him.
"Probably know"
"Well," Lu Yang nodded, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”
"I suggest that Lu Yang start a company"
"Why? The reason? ”
"The strength of one person is not comparable to the strength of a group of people. Lv Yang, you need to take this step after all, and now your product is still virtual, and you can complete it yourself.
However, if you need to make physical products in the future, you need a group like the company to complete it, after all, thousands of products, you can't complete it alone.
At the same time, the existence of many technologies is due to the industrial base, if you do this alone, the speed will be much slower.
Although you have knowledge, you can't do everything alone, you can do product development by yourself, but what about mass production? What about follow-up operations? You can't do all of this yourself, you still need someone to help you after all.
Moreover, I am a guide of civilization in order to guide the development of civilization.
You alone cannot represent a civilization, you need to make progress together with the whole civilization, and it is not enough for you alone
And ......"
Xiao Ai recounted a long story seriously and seriously, but was directly interrupted by Lu Yang.
"Okay, okay, Xiao Ai needless to say, I understand all this"
Although Xiao Ai's long-winded tirade sounded a little dizzy, Lu Yang's thoughts were barely clear.
There was a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Isn't it just to start a company, open a ...... and give it a try"
In this way, such an important matter of starting a company was decided by Lu Yang very hastily.
Lu Yang was enjoying the autumn breeze in the rental house and listening to the sound of the radiator fan.
In other places, they are being affected by Lu Yang's previous behavior.
In the headquarters building of Youyou.com, the editor-in-chief's office, Lancôme, who was wearing a professional suit, was wearing a white headset at this time, drowning in the sea of games.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The door rang, but Lancôme, who was immersed in the game, did not react at all.
The knock on the door ...... paused for a moment, then resounded.
"What, you can't die like this!" Lan Kouting threw the mouse aside angrily, "What a broken game, what are the characters doing so smartly, it's really ...... I'm! ”
Apparently, the game Lancôme plays is the Grim Reaper agent.
The mature clothes and makeup and her cute angry expression at this time have nothing to do with each other.
But the two feelings are mixed, and the taste of maturity and youth is mixed together, giving people a new temptation.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Lancôme, who had just failed once and was still angry, finally heard a knock on the door.
With a quick movement in his hand, he took off the headset on his head, threw it aside, and quickly pulled his messy hair with his fingers.
completed this skillful action in a few seconds, put away his indignant expression, returned to the appearance of a strong woman, and faintly confided a crisp voice: "Come in"
Finally, the person outside the door didn't use knocking.
The door of the office was opened, and Lao Zhao hurriedly rushed in from the outside.
"What's the matter?" Lan Kouting frowned, and she didn't know if she was pretending, or because she was disturbed to play the game, and she was a little angry.
"Editor-in-chief, Editor-in-Chief Lan, the Grim Reaper agent has uploaded a new version," Lao Zhao said anxiously.
"Oh......"
Lancôme is a little depressed, and if she uploads it, she uploads it, which game is not updated? Although it is a Grim Reaper agent.
"What's new?" Lancôme asked nonchalantly.
Lao Zhao didn't feel Lan Koting's emotions, and said excitedly, "Editor-in-chief, it's very big, and it's very updated...... It's just a breakthrough! ”
"Oh?" Lan Kouting saw that Lao Zhao was so excited, and became interested, "What's new?" ”
"You can connect to the Internet, there is an online mode!" Lao Zhao raised his voice excitedly.
"Online? Networking? Lancromantic was a little puzzled.
"Yes, editor-in-chief, this change is too big, in addition to the previous single-player story mode, but also the addition of a networked game mode, this new mode...... It's just, so creative! ”
Lao Zhao was dancing with his hands, trembling and talking, and he was already a little incoherent.
"Networking mode? Is the Grim Reaper agent really an online game? Lan Kouting's eyes widened, recalling what Lu Yang had said before that he would upgrade the Reaper agent to a real online game, but he didn't expect it to be so soon?
"What's the quality of the new game mode? Is the gameplay high? Seeing Lao Zhao's excited appearance, Lan Kouting asked again.
"Very, very fun! The quality of the game has not decreased, and the gameplay of this online mode is really creative! Nothing short of genius! Lao Zhao excitedly mentioned the word creativity again.
"Creative?" Lancôme frowned,
"Mm-hmm, it's really great after the game update. His creativity is simply indescribable, Editor-in-Chief Lan, you can just try it out."
"Well, I know" Lan Kouting already had a strong interest in her heart, and she wanted to start playing now, but she suppressed it, "You will pass the game to me later"
"By the way, did Lu Yang notify us of this game update?"
"No, editor-in-chief, we only found out when we were reviewing"
Lancôme: "......"
She was a little helpless, such an important update, it was uploaded directly like this, it was really sloppy.
"Forget it, you go and approve the game, and then announce the news on the homepage of the website"
"Editor-in-chief......" Lao Zhao hesitated.
"What's your opinion?"
"No, editor-in-chief, in addition to uploading the upgrade installation package, Lu Yang also changed the game introduction, he said...... There are only 5,000 internal beta qualification places, and it is on a first-come, first-served basis...... I don't think we need to advertise it...... After all, it's only 5,000 places, which is a drop in the bucket for Grim Reaper proxy players."
"So?" Lan Kouting was stunned,
Closed beta? Well, Lu Yang is not as reckless as he imagined, and he also knows about the internal test.
What the? Closed beta! There are only 5,000 places.
Two thoughts appeared one after another in Lan Koting's mind, Lan Kotten's seductive red lips moved slightly, her watery eyes rolled down, and then she said quietly: "Then Lao Zhao, you pass the game to me first, and pass the review."
After speaking, Lan Caring also wanted to explain, "After all, I also have to pay attention to how the Death Agent is."
Lao Zhao nodded, his boss, what else can he say, agree.
But he also clearly knows that Lancôme is not for business, but purely wants to play.
After all, as soon as he entered the office, he caught a glimpse of the Grim Reaper agent game screen on Lancôme's desk computer.
"Okay, I'll send it to you right away, editor-in-chief."
"Well, okay, then you go to work" Lan Kouting nodded with a serious expression.
In my heart, I am happy, hee-hee, and there is fun again.
Lao Zhao left the editor-in-chief's office and returned to his office area, only to see a large number of people surrounding his computer.
"Quick, pass me a copy too"
"I want it too, I want it too!"
"Hurry up, Lao Zhao will be back in a while......"
“……”
If Lu Yang knew that the upgraded version of the Reaper agent had not officially appeared on the Internet, he would have lost dozens of beta places, and I don't know how he would feel.
And can the behavior of these people be regarded as the abuse of power for personal gain?
