Chapter 109: Fruit Assassin Beta

In the blink of an eye, the time came to the morning of August 5th.

Xu Xing leaned back in the seat and breathed a long sigh of relief, twisted his sour neck, and looked at the opening screen animation of the fruit assassin that started running on his phone, with a relieved smile on his face.

"This is considered complete, right?" Li Zhibin, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines, asked curiously, "The next thing is to upload to the platform?" ”

"It's still early." Xu Xing glanced at him, "This can only be regarded as an internal beta version, and it has to be tested by bugs, modified, and improved before it can be uploaded to make money." ”

"Isn't this game still playable?" Li Zhibin looked strange, "I don't have any problems with it." ”

picked up Xu Xing's pineapple mobile phone from the table, because he already knew how to play before, so Li Zhibin got started quickly.

After entering the game, it is a simple beginner's tutorial, and then it is time to enter the infinite mode of melon cutting fun.

Not to mention, although Li Zhibin had also played the castrated version shown to him by Xu Xing before, the experience really couldn't be compared with the current complete version.

After all, the core attraction of this game is the refreshing and invigorating feeling when cutting the fruit.

In order to achieve this effect, the art resources of the fruit itself, the simulated gravity environment and rotation angle of the code running behind it, and the realism of the juice splashing after the fruit is cut, with the corresponding cutting sound effect.

All of these things come together to bring out the essence of the Fruit Assassin game.

So much so that Li Zhibin had just played a few games, and he was already a little on the top, and unconsciously sat on the chair next to him with his mobile phone and began to bury his head in cutting melons.

Xu Xing looked at him like this, and glanced at Yan Chi Vinegar, and the two smiled.

Among the people around him who know that he makes games, Yan Chi Vinegar has always believed that this game can come out.

On the one hand, it is because I believe in Xu Xing, and on the other hand, because as a developer, I have a deeper understanding of the core selling point of this game, so Yan Chi Vinegar can indeed understand the charm of the game that Xu Xing said.

And ordinary user players like Li Zhibin and Yao Yuanyuan, no matter how fanciful Xu Xing says, it is better to play it directly.

Seeing that Li Zhibin would not come to disturb the work for the time being, Xu Xing and Yan Chi Vinegar began to conduct bug tests on the beta version of Fruit Assassin.

This kind of small mobile game is not like a large-scale terminal game, and it has to go through internal testing by players before the server is launched, so as to collect a lot of data and feedback, and then further optimize the game.

Even this kind of internal test can be carried out for several rounds, and after a year and a half of testing, the public beta server will be officially launched.

For a small mobile game like Fruit Assassin, you only need to use software that specializes in testing bugs for debugging, find out the corresponding problems and fix and improve them, so as to ensure that there are no bugs that particularly affect the operation of the game during operation.

This process is possible in a few days if it is fast, and half a month if it is slow.

After all, no programmer can guarantee that there are no bugs in the code they type.

No matter what the program is, there will be bugs, big and small, and the purpose of testing is not to eliminate all bugs, but to ensure that these existing bugs do not cause major problems with the operation and service of the game.

The morning passed quickly.

Li Zhibin, who was playing Fruit Assassin on the side, unconsciously saved a lot of points and achievements, thinking that he could exchange for skins, but after entering the mall page, he suddenly realized that this game seems to be all in English?

I entered the game page before and saw English, because I usually see such a UI interface when I usually play, so Li Zhibin didn't think much about it.

But at this moment, after discovering that the entire game was all in English, Li Zhibin was a little confused.

At this time, Yao Yuanyuan, who was downstairs, went upstairs to deliver a boxed lunch, and the four studio members sat around the coffee table, chatting about the fruit assassin while eating lunch.

"I'll be honest, it's a really good game." Li Zhibin decisively admitted that he had made a mistake in judgment before, "At least I play well, and I feel that there should be many people who like it." ”

"Is it so high? Let me play with it in a moment. Yao Yuanyuan said curiously.

She had also played the castration version before, but that could only be regarded as a play for the sake of Yan Chi Vinegar's face.

At that time, the game resources were not well integrated, and the feel and experience of playing were awkward, Yao Yuanyuan was very curious about what the current beta version looked like.

"I think it really is." Li Zhibin said, and then analyzed, "Recently, I also watched some games on my mobile phone, and it used to seem that there were a lot of paid games, but now it seems that some small games have been changed to free?" But Xu Xing, it seems that the skins in your game store can be redeemed for free, right? Can this still make money? ”

"You didn't notice it was all in English?" Xu Xing stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth, glanced at him and said.

"yes." Li Zhibin reacted, and immediately felt strange again, "Why are you doing all English in our domestic games?" I can still understand some simple words in the game interface in English, but the words in the mall are all in English, and many people can't understand them at all. ”

"Because I didn't plan to release this game to China in the first place." Xu Xing had a natural expression, "To make foreigners' money, of course it's all in English." ”

"What?" When Li Zhibin heard this, his expression was obviously stunned, "You want to send it abroad?!" Are you sure? ”

In Li Zhibin's concept, the game environment abroad is much more mature than that in China, and there are more big productions than one another, and the quality of games is far better than that of domestic games.

In this case, let alone competing abroad, it is already quite difficult to get a piece of the pie in China and maintain the studio by making money from the game.

Not to mention that the first game is going to rush overseas and harvest the wallets of foreigners.

In Li Zhibin's view, this is simply a fool's dream.

Those big domestic game manufacturers can't take games abroad, let alone small workshops like them?

"Calm, calm." Xu Xing patted him on the shoulder and asked him to calm down, "Don't be so flustered when you mention foreign countries, I choose foreign markets for this, of course, there are specific reasons." ”

"There are no more reasons for this." Li Zhibin scratched his head a little distressed.

Originally, after he played this game, he really thought it was very interesting, and if it was placed in China, there should be many people who liked it.

But when I think of the strength of foreign countries to make all kinds of large-scale triple-A games, even if I take a step back, it is also a game that can make a game with a wide audience like League of Legends, and Fruit Assassin is too pediatric to put in front of these games.

There is even a feeling that Li Zhibin is so naΓ―ve that he can't do it.

Xu Xing, who was eating on the side, looked at the expression on his face and guessed his thoughts.

But Li Zhibin can't be blamed for this, after all, it is indeed too embarrassing to crush a high school graduate who does not know much about the game market from the perspective of later generations.

Although he felt that even if he made it clear, he would not be able to completely dispel the doubts of people like Li Zhibin and Yao Yuanyuan, he still explained while eating:

"The mobile game market is different from the terminal game market."
