Gu Fan came to Su Tong's computer, and while watching Su Tong's operation, he talked about working overtime at night.

"There's an investor from our company coming over tonight, so I need to work a little overtime, about 7 o'clock.

"We'll settle it a little bit at the company for dinner."

Su Tong nodded: "No problem, Mr. Gu." Is it an angel investor in our company? ”

Gu Fan didn't know how to answer for a while: "Angel investor? Belch...... Pretty much. To be precise, it would be more appropriate to call it a "devil investor......

"Huh? When have you become so proficient in playing this game!! ”

Gu Fan suddenly found that he couldn't understand Su Tong's operation a little!

I saw that she controlled Sisyphus, jumped on the suspended platform very skillfully, and after landing, she deftly dodged all the obstacles in front of her, and passed this stage without any mistakes at all!

Is this an operation she can type?

You must know that when Gu Fan watched it ten days ago, Su Tong was still often overturning.

How can it progress so fast?

Gu Fan was surprised: "When did you become so skilled??" ”

Su Tong didn't look back, she was still looking at the game screen seriously, and said while operating: "Huh? Mr. Gu, I've been playing for almost 150 hours, isn't it strange to have this level of proficiency......"

Gu Fan frowned slightly: "No, how can you play for 150 hours?" ”

After the game was made, it was tested for two weeks, released for three days, and had three weekends in between.

According to the calculation of eight hours of normal working time, Su Tong has played for more than 80 hours at most.

Where did the 150 hours come from?

Su Tong said lightly: "I practice every day when I go back from work!" Also played in the evenings and on weekends. ”

Gu Fan was shocked: "You don't have to work so hard......

Su Tong said seriously: "That's not good, as the company's test team leader, isn't it my responsibility?" It would be humiliating to let outsiders know that our company's test team leader didn't understand this game, right?

"It's just that I'm so stupid, I've been playing for so long, and occasionally I still make mistakes."

Gu Fan didn't know what to say for a while.

If he didn't know Su Tong's personality very well, he would even mistakenly think that Su Tong was in Versailles.

150 hours of playing like this, it's already outrageous, okay?

After all, the difficulty of this game is here!

"Do you mean...... Su Tong is actually not a game idiot? The reason why it behaves is more vegetable, on the one hand, is because the time to play the game before is too short, and the foundation is really not solid, and on the other hand, it is because of ...... Is her gaming talent a little crooked? ”

Gu Fan vaguely had such an outrageous guess.

In the first week of the test, Gu Fan specially observed Su Tong's game playing and found that her game talent was indeed not high, not only was her hands relatively stupid, but she was also very insensitive to game mechanics.

This is indeed Su Tong's natural disadvantage in terms of game talent, and it is also the direct reason why Gu Fan recruited her as the test team leader.

A person who is not sensitive to the game mechanics will not find the key bugs that Gu Fan is hiding, and naturally he will not destroy Gu Fan's plan.

But as the saying goes, when God closes a door for you, He will open a window for you.

Su Tong has a natural advantage on the other hand.

That's staying power and patience!

After 150 hours of play in 17 days, even after work, it would be understandable if you put it on other games, but Sisyphus is a game of pure suffering!

And Su Tong didn't know that there were bugs like "Rolling Stone Acceleration" and "Dragon Flapping Wings" that could greatly improve the game experience, just according to the most torturous gameplay, he could play for so long.

This shows that her mentality and patience have improved to an outrageous degree.

And this, in fact, is also a kind of game talent.

In the same game, some people get started quickly and stand out at once, but their patience is very poor, and they give up when they encounter setbacks, or change to other games; Others, although slow to get started, are more likely to persevere.

As long as the time is extended, it must be the second type of person who can finally stand at the apex of this game.

And this is also a kind of gaming talent.

Obviously, this trait of Su Tong is also very helpful for learning, no wonder she is a top student.

What would happen if this basic skill was combined with "Rolling Stone Acceleration" and "Dragon Flapping Wings"?

I have to say that Su Tong is really obedient, before Gu Fan asked her to play "Hell Trajectory" by herself and not to read the strategy, she really didn't read the strategy. Even in the game "Sisyphus", she was still playing by herself, not looking at the strategy.

Otherwise, she would have seen the video of "The Dragon Looks Up" last night.

Thinking of this, Gu Fan said: "You don't need to continue practicing, you open the video website and search for Lecturer Ding's live broadcast slice." ”

originally thought that Su Tong would be excited after seeing Lecturer Ding's operation, but she didn't expect her to wilt instead, and she seemed to be very depressed.

Gu Fan was a little surprised: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Su Tong pointed to the teaching video of "Dragon Flapping Wings" on the screen: "Mr. Gu, did I make a mistake...... I didn't even test such a serious bug......"

Her expression was rather frustrated.

Although there is still serious controversy on the Internet about whether the two gameplay methods of "Rolling Stone Acceleration" and "Dragon Flapping Wings" are BUGS, Su Tong has read the design plan after all, and knows very well that these two functions are not written in the design plan at all.

Naturally, I felt that I was a little incompetent as the leader of the test team.

Gu Fan couldn't cry or laugh, but he felt guilty because of his sense of responsibility?

You don't have to!

In fact, Gu Fan asked Su Tong to be the team leader precisely because she couldn't find a bug!

However, Gu Fan also knows that this situation will occur frequently in the future, so it must be properly resolved this time.

Su Tong is his first employee, and in such a key position as the test team leader, the two must reach a tacit understanding on the problem of BUG in order to work together to build "Against Heaven" into the world's strongest game company, so that Lilith's plan is completely bankrupt.

Thinking of this, Gu Fan comforted: "For this, you don't need to blame yourself at all. ”

Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed on Su Tong's face: "Huh? Could it be that this is not a bug, but a game mechanism that you have already designed? ”

Gu Fan hurriedly shook his head: "Of course it's impossible." ”

Although Lilith can't come to the world during the day, Gu Fan can't be sure if she has 'eyeliner' in the world.

To be on the safe side, Gu Fan can give a more explicit hint to some trustworthy people, but he must not admit that "Bullet Turn" and "Dragon Flap Wings" are game mechanics specially made by himself anywhere or in front of anyone, but can only insist that they are bugs.

Otherwise, there is a good chance that Lilith will be punished by contract.

Su Tong wilted again: "That is to say, this is indeed a BUG, and I didn't detect it......"

Gu Fan coughed lightly: "The reason why you are frustrated is mainly because you don't understand the job of game testing well." ”

Su Tong was a little surprised: "How come?" The job of game testing is very simple, isn't it just to test carefully and make the game free of any bugs? ”

Gu Fan shook his head slightly, and said meaningfully: "That's just the requirements of the general garbage companies on the market for game testing, but our company is different!" ”

Su Tong was puzzled: "Then what are our company's testing requirements?" ”

Gu Fan organized his language a little and said, "It's very simple, you have to do the following three things.

"First, you have to understand that we are just ordinary people, not gods, I can't write code that is completely bug-free, and you can't test all the bugs in the game.

"We can only have a clear conscience within the scope of our ability, and there is no need to force those things that cannot be done.

"Second, you have to know that the game itself is full of metaphysics. Many times, a game is inexplicably hot and inexplicably cold. It's not uncommon for games to have gameplay that designers didn't expect.

"Do you know which kind of designer players hate the most?

"They hate designers who teach players how to play games. And this kind of designer has a characteristic, that is, once the player finds a way to play in the game that exceeds their design specifications, they have to find ways to prevent and modify it.

"In a sense, the fact that players discover ways to play outside the framework of the rules of the game is a gift from heaven that opens up more possibilities for the game.

"If the designer has to change the gameplay outside the framework and teach the player to play the game, then they will not end well.

"Thirdly, you're a tester and a designer of the future. Whether you are a tester or a designer, the important thing is not to "predict the future", but to "follow the trend".

In other words, instead of regretting why this bug was not discovered, it is better to see it as some kind of providence or gift, and to study and use this bug to understand why players like it, or even more proficient than players can master.

"That's the way it should be."
