Employees of game companies are also people, and they also need to take a break.

This is especially true for companies that are already operating stably.

In the development stage, employees of game companies often have to work overtime, and some companies do 996 or 9117 to catch up with the project schedule. Once the project is launched and profitable, there is nothing to do even if the project team works overtime.

Even if there is a new version of the development, there is no need to be in such a hurry as before, you can do it slowly; If there are no plans for the development of a new version for the time being, it will be more leisurely.

As a game that has been a great success, the new version of "Spirit Summoner" has just been tested and launched as scheduled, and the whole company is in a kind of rest period after short-term overtime, and everyone is going home for the weekend.

It stands to reason that at least a few people in the company should always pay attention to the game, or go into the game themselves to play heavily and collect player feedback at any time.

But Hongguang Games is a "nouveau riche company" after all, it was just a small studio at the beginning, and it can be said that it was a step to the sky after making "Spirit Summoner", although the company has more money and the volume has gone up, but a lot of the process is not very standardized, this bug, there was no employee feedback until Monday when I went to work, and I began to stop the service urgently on Tuesday to fix it!

But on Saturday and Sunday, players have already swiped a large number of high-level equipment and character-exclusive weapons through various means!

You must know that it is very difficult to obtain high-level equipment, and local tyrants need liver for a long time, and things like character-exclusive weapons may not be drawn by local tyrants with krypton.

So there was an unbelievable scene in the game, in the guild battle on Saturday and Sunday nights, several trumpets wearing a high-level equipment and holding character-exclusive weapons, directly blocking the opposite local tyrant players at the resurrection point and slashing repeatedly, the scene was very chaotic for a while!

On Saturday night, many players have already reported to the official customer service, and the customer service is still a very official response: "Your problem has been received and reported to the staff, and the development team is intensively verifying and verifying, thank you for your support of Spirit Summoner!" ”

But in fact, the customer service team of "Spirit Summoner" is outsourced, and the outsourcing team is basically just a microphone, basically without any right to speak on the R&D team, and even the customer service does not have a very accurate estimate of the malignancy of this bug, just simply following the workflow and forwarding the emails related to the problem, which naturally did not attract any attention from the R&D team.

On Saturday, many players have been holding back the fire in their stomachs, many people brushed up immediately after knowing this bug, and some people are smarter, they go to build trumpets in an organized way, and brush them after a unified and rapid upgrade, so that even if there is a danger of being banned in the future, all of them are trumpets.

There are also some heavy krypton players who even directly use their own large accounts to brush, because they feel very angry because they can't beat the small ones, and they choose this method of countering violence with violence, and they are not worried about their accounts being blocked, because according to past experience, game companies do not dare to ban these heavy krypton gold accounts, after all, behind these accounts are cash cows.

In the end, Sunday's guild battle turned into a bug battle, and a large number of trumpets staged a jaw-dropping fairy duel, each of which had combat power comparable to that of regular local tyrant players, wearing high-end equipment and holding character-specific weapons, and the whole game became a miasma, and the forum was full of scolding.

The hindsight of the rainbow game is also a model in the industry, and it was not until Tuesday that the emergency service suspension was repaired, but at this time, most of the players who brushed the bug had already brushed up a high-level equipment and tortured and killed many ordinary players.

Hongguang Games soon announced the rollback plan and announced a batch of banned account lists, the number of permanently suspended accounts reached hundreds, and there were more than 400 accounts that were temporarily frozen and continued to be verified. But this did not extinguish the anger of players, because the rollback means going back to Friday or even earlier, and many players will have lost all the normal gains from the game in the past three days.

Although the official promise is that the rollback will give compensation packages, it is clear that the strength of such packages is not comparable to the losses of players.

What makes players even more angry is that these hundreds of suspended accounts are far from all of the bugs, because judging from the feelings of players in the guild war, the number of accounts that have been bugged this time is obviously far more than this, and some players who have brushed bugs have also revealed that they have not been officially banned at all, and are still playing well.

Some local tyrant players said that they were indeed "taken care of", and the bugs were only rollbacks and warnings, probably because they charged a lot of money.

Other local tyrant players said that the high-level equipment they recharged normally during this period of time and brushed up on the liver copy was also officially recycled, but the equipment brushed by some bug players was not recycled, and they were still doing the final madness in various PVP activities.

This bug triggered a large-scale withdrawal of players, and on Weibo, the official blog of Hongguang Games was arranged clearly, and it was scolded for thousands of floors, becoming a beautiful landscape.

As for other mobile game companies, it is natural that most of them are gloating, after all, "Spirit Summoner" is a popular game, and such a huge, low-level and unbelievable operation accident is a great thing for other game companies, and the players lost in "Spirit Summoner" will more or less enter other mobile games.

A local tyrant player angrily scolded on Weibo: "The current mobile game company doesn't even have the technology to cheat Krypton?!" ”

"The mobile game Krypton is a normal operation, the problem is that you can make me Krypton Krypton a little cooler, but I spent money here to buy sin? Spent money to let those who didn't spend money to fix bugs hang? No one pays attention to the feedback to your customer service? The traditional industry still knows that the customer is God, what do you treat the customer as a rainbow game? Sending you money is not welcomed? I'll put it here, I'll never play this kind of spicy chicken krypton gold mobile game again in my life! ”

This vicious bug incident,Let the senior management of the rainbow game be very angry,It is said that the relevant personnel involved were directly fined half a year's bonus,The operation director and several related personnel,Even made a demotion,Internal notice criticism。

This incident is not an isolated case, not only Hongguang Games, but also other mobile game companies, similar operational accidents have also occurred frequently.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is a wild market because of the low threshold of the mobile game market!

The low threshold means that just a few million can enter, and success is often not directly related to investment. There are many popular mobile games, and the monthly turnover easily exceeds 10 million, and the investment may only be a few million; There are also some mobile games that have invested hundreds of millions of dollars, but they are quickly cool after the beta.

This is different from console games, which are high-investment industries, and a masterpiece is made by experienced developers, with an investment of tens of millions, and under the premise of ensuring the quality of various products, it is enough to support sales by selling content alone; But mobile games are limited by the function of the bracelet, and they mainly rely on the gameplay to win, but the gameplay is really not good.

Therefore, the entire mobile game market is full of a mentality of collecting money and rushing for quick success, even those projects that have been successful, it is difficult to be immune.

……

On the side of Tianji Studio, the development of "Dawn Era" is progressing steadily.

Zhong Ming is holding the test bracelet to experience the demo of the game.

At this time, the virtual bracelet worn on Zhong Ming's left hand projected a holographic projection above his left arm, which was a horizontal plane instead of a vertical plane. On the horizontal plane, there are different perceptions depending on the terrain, for example, the plane at this time simulates a platform on a rocky mountain, the ground is rugged, and there are a few clumps of grass in the cracks of the stones.

There are two ways to project holographic projection on this horizontal plane, one is to follow Zhong Ming's arm, that is, it is relatively fixed with Zhong Ming's left hand upper arm, but this method is not commonly used; The other is to fix the position relative to the ground and the player's head, so that when the player raises their arms, the hologram will always appear in the sweet spot slightly lower directly opposite the player.

Of course, both methods require the player to point the holographic projection lens on the bracelet at a specific direction, and the holographic projection image presented is not too large, in order to save performance, the holographic projection image in standard mode is about the same as the length of the player's forearm, which is basically similar to the size of a general tablet.

It's more tiring to keep raising your hands, but it's not as tired as you imagined, many people in Zhong Ming's previous life held their mobile phones and watched videos, and their hands were also held all the time, but they could also watch it for hours.

Of course, there are ways not to get tired, as long as you buy a special peripheral, a micro Bluetooth projection device is worn on the ear, and it is automatically projected in front of the position.

However, the projection must not be used in some highly crowded occasions, and the projection area must be free of foreign objects when used.

The regular display mode of the bracelet is to project an erect projection surface,It feels like holding a very thin small LCD screen in your hand,Most of the apps on the bracelet are displayed in this way,And this holographic projection display method,It is a new thing that has just emerged in recent times,Once it appears, it has been adopted by many bracelet game developers。

On the screen is Takeshita Tsuneko, one of the rare characters in the game. She wore a combat uniform decorated with blue and black floral decorations, full of neon style on some decorations, and held a long knife with glittering light in her hand, full of technology.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is her figure, tall and tall, long ponytail tied up and dragged straight to the calf, proud bust, and blood-spurting waist-to-hip ratio, coupled with beautiful body shape and movements, from the perspective of the movie, just watching the AI-operated fights is already very addictive.

There are more than two dozen good-looking male and female characters like her in the game, and less than half of them can be obtained by players for free, the difference is only the degree of luck and liver, while the other part requires a little krypton to get it relatively quickly.

Of course, this is not so absolute, after all, the game allows ordinary players to earn wages by working part-time, and there may be no difference between a player who is heavy on the liver and light on Krypton and a player who is light on the liver and Krypton.

After that, it's the game's basic battle screen, which constantly refreshes all kinds of smart machines in the level, all kinds of robots or mechanisms of different shapes and different attack methods, and Takeshita Tsunzo is like a butterfly wearing flowers through the monster pile, the long knife in his hand or slash, or burst out of an energy wave, and a large number of enemies fall like mowing grass, and explode.

Hologram technology was first introduced into mobile games, and the impact on mobile games is subversive. It's revolutionary, roughly equivalent to 3D movies to 2D movies.

It's hard to say that it will replace it completely, but there is definitely a noticeable leap in visuals.

It is conceivable that this hologram technology will most likely gradually expand to the PC and host side when the technology matures in the future, but it is unlikely in the short term.

The reason is very simple, the investment in mobile games is small, the boat is easy to turn around, and the business sense of mobile game manufacturers is more sensitive, so they seized the opportunity earlier, while the traditional game manufacturers on the PC and console sides are relatively more aware of the hindsight.

Zhong Ming roughly experienced the operation in this mode.

Overall, it's not particularly comfortable, but it's not completely unacceptable after getting used to it.

The bracelet operates with virtual buttons, not all on a virtual projection: the bracelet reads the relative position of the player's left wrist (bracelet position) and left thumb, and uses the gesture of the player's left thumb to determine what exactly he wants to do with the virtual joystick.

The right hand, on the other hand, taps the button directly on the holographic projection to trigger skills and other actions.

This feeling of "a little air",Zhong Ming feels very uncomfortable,The lower left part of the mobile phone in the previous life is also called"Virtual joystick",But there's still a screen to touch,The bracelet is even the physical screen is gone,It's just rubbing the air。

Although he can play smoothly after getting used to it, Zhong Ming always feels that it is better to let the AI operate it directly, after all, the current AI program is so developed, "hosting" is no longer a derogatory term, and in many cases, the performance of hosted AI is even better than that of some rookie players.

Fortunately, for a bracelet game, these aspects are not too important, and the graphics are just dazzling.

Then, Zhong Ming checked the combat power derivative system in the game, including equipment, exclusive weapons, energy cores, and so on.

These systems, to use some industry parlance as "pits", that is, things that players have to fill in, are often directly linked to combat power. This is the numerical motivation that drives players to play hard. "Dawn Era" has a big difference from previous games, that is, most of the materials linked to combat power can be "non-destructively converted".

The so-called lossless conversion, for example, the player spends a lot of money to cultivate character A, but suddenly he for various reasons, it may be because he suddenly doesn't want to play this character, or he draws a better character B and wants to change the character to play, then most of the things he consumes when cultivating character A can be transferred to character B losslessly.

A relatively simple example is the enhancement of equipment, the player can return the enhanced equipment to level 1 by returning to the furnace, and the system will return 100% of the enhancement materials, unlike many games, which only return 80% or even 60%.
