Chapter 21: It's All Right Again!
At this time, the barrage in Lecturer Ding's live broadcast room has been swiped by four words.
"And the masters?!"
Obviously, neither Lecturer Ding himself nor the audience in the live broadcast room expected that this game would have such an unfolding.
They did expect the game to have bugs, just like "Helltracks", where a "bullet turn" bug would fundamentally change the gameplay.
Of course, is it a bug or a game mechanic? So far, there has been controversy.
But in any case, this kind of thing is hard to come by, how can every game have it?
Therefore, when Lecturer Ding just discovered the bug of "acceleration", the audience was very happy, but also thought that there should be no other bugs.
Unexpectedly, it hadn't been five minutes before Lecturer Ding found a new bug.
What's even more terrifying is that both of these bugs can have a "revolutionary" impact on gameplay!
Just now, Sisyphus, controlled by Lecturer Ding, jumped off the dragon's back and happened to step on the dragon's wings.
And at the moment when the dragon flapped its wings, he jumped violently, and was suddenly bounced away, directly stepping over a layer and a half of height!
This scene is so shocking that no one could have imagined that the character Sisyphus in this game has the ability to move like polio, but he can soar into the sky after meeting certain conditions.
Lecturer Ding immediately began to view the live recording.
This time he didn't even need to go into the details of how the bug was triggered, because the whole process was very clear.
To put it simply: this Infernal Dragon isn't just a texture, it's modeled, and even has bones, animations, and collision volumes!
And because it is flying upwards in a circle around Purgatory Mountain, the player can jump onto the dragon's back at the right time after using the bug "Push Stone Acceleration".
Then, as long as you carry the big rock, jump onto the wings that the dragon is lifting, and press the jump button again at the moment of contact with the wings, you can use the power of the dragon's wings to soar into the sky!
That's what happened.
"Brothers, I'm a genius!
"I'm going to name this bug myself, and I'm going to call it: Dragon Flap Wings!"
Lecturer Ding completely cheered up, and these two bugs completely swept away his previous drowsiness.
Because the biggest shortcoming of the game "Sisyphus" has been filled!
Why did you find this game boring before? It's because it doesn't achieve "relaxation", and the game lacks a key cool point.
This cool point can be a very risky behavior, but once successful, it must also have great benefits. Only then will players be able to get a lot of pleasure from the process and keep playing.
Now, the two bugs of "Rolling Stone Acceleration" and "Dragon Flapping Wings" perfectly make up for this cool point!
Next, here comes the problem.
Is this a bug?
The players began to argue again.
But in the end, it was Lecturer Ding who made the final decision.
"Obviously it's not a bug!
"You see, the answer to the puzzle is on the puzzle surface, and the introduction to this game has already told us!"
Instructor Ding opens the game's details page, and the synopsis clearly reads: "In this game, you will play as the powerful god Sisyphus, visit the magnificent world of Purgatory depicted by Dante in the Divine Comedy, and even interact with the Purgatory Dragon for a hearty adventure!" ”
"See what the keywords are?
"You can even interact with the Infernal Dragon!
"Is it just an interaction to be slapped away by a dragon? Apparently not! That's a one-sided beating!
"Only an operation of the level of 'Dragon Flapping Wings' can be considered an interaction, because it is a two-way communication between you and the dragon!
"So the makers of this game told us at the beginning that if we want to better beat this game, the key is this Purgatory Dragon!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was once again convinced.
Yes, yes, all right!
It seems that this game company is quite naughty, and likes to hide core mechanics in the game? And it doesn't tell the player directly, you have to be a riddler in the synopsis.
All I can say is...... Well done!
Although the Riddler is damned, this approach does bring players an unprecedented sense of freshness, not to mention, this "Antiheaven Games Company" is quite impressive.
It's good!
Soon, these two bugs, or game mechanics, spread all over the network at the speed of light.
After all, it is so effective, and these viewers of Lecturer Ding are happy to go to other live broadcast rooms or game forums to spread this great discovery, whether it is for sharing or showing off.
And this obviously opens the door to a new world for other players!
The streamers who were streaming the game immediately began to study and study the two bugs, and soon made many new discoveries.
One of the most important discoveries is the Infernal Dragon's Flight Mechanism!
The dragon appears on a regular basis, spawning from the lowest cavern when Sisyphus arrives at a certain location, then flying to the top of the Garden of Eden, and so on.
The spawn point is almost one every two floors, and the limit height of "Dragon Flap Wings" is about one and a half floors.
In other words, under the best of circumstances, the player can use Dragon Wings about five times while climbing this Purgatory Mountain!
Lecturer Ding just happened to use the dragon flapping wings once, and he was already about to fly, if he succeeded five times in a row, he wouldn't be able to go to the sky?
Originally, players thought that the game should take more than ten hours to clear the game a week, and even if the player did not make too many mistakes, it would take more than three hours to clear the game once.
Although no one has really cleared the level yet, the number of levels in this game is fixed, and the entire map structure has been shown in the title interface at the beginning, with a total of twelve floors, excluding the bottom seashore and the top Garden of Eden, there are only ten floors left.
Sisyphus's movement speed is fixed, and after clearing the first few floors, you can roughly estimate the time to clear the level.
However, "Rolling Stone Acceleration" and "Dragon Flap Wings" completely subvert the current assumption, if you can really accelerate the whole process and use the dragon to flap your wings five times in a row, then the game may be directly shortened to less than an hour, or even shorter!
Of course, both of these techniques are difficult to use.
Although Rolling Stones will get faster and faster, it can also be easy to roll over, requiring not only excellent control but also a deep understanding of the map mechanics.
"Dragon Flap Wings" is even more difficult, the position and timing of the jump will affect the success rate of the dragon, and after the dragon, you have to step on the specific position of the dragon's wings, and you have to adjust the direction, angle and timing of the jump in advance......
And as the player's floor gets higher and higher, the Inferno Dragon takes longer and longer to fly, and how to choose the best position for the dragon is also a problem.
Facts have proved that Lecturer Ding's "Dragon Flapping Wings" was purely deceitful and deceitful.
After that, he tried many more times on his own, but the success rate was very low.
Successfully "flapping the wings" five times in a row?
Now it looks more like some kind of fantasy.
But even so, the players still took action one after another!
Originally, the popularity of "Sisyphus" had fallen like a cliff, but now, it suddenly took off against the trend and was out of control!
……
In a rental house.
With a "snap", Lilith flattened the empty Coke can in her hand.
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and her face turned pale, as if she couldn't accept this reality for a while.
"Why are there bugs again? Can you explain it to me!! ”
Lilith sat up from the single sofa and rushed to Gu Fan with a fierce momentum, eager to grab him by the collar and beat him up.
But in the end, he couldn't do it, and he could only barely raise his sense of oppression with angry eyes.
Gu Fan was also confused: "I don't say it either!" ”
"Here we go again, you say you don't know every time!" Lilith was a little angry, "Last time you said that the test time was not enough, I put up with it, but this time I left you a full two weeks of testing time, and I also asked you to recruit an extra tester!"
"But this time there are more bugs than last time, how do you explain this!"
Facing the menacing Lilith, Gu Fan not only did not flinch, but stood up confidently: "This is my hammer business!" I just said that I can fix more bugs with more testing time, but I also didn't say that as long as the testing time is enough, there must be no bugs!
"Again, if you want to have no bugs at all, then you can only go to God and his old man to help you write a program!"
He took his computer, opened the editor backend, and found the BUG fix record.
"Look! We've been working hard to fix bugs for the past two weeks!
"Of course it's useful to extend the beta time, but if it weren't for these two weeks, the game would have at least a few dozen more bugs!"
