Chapter 123: The original intention of making this game

After En Siruo's birthday, everyone expanded the original WeChat group, chatting in it all day long, talking about games and daily life, which was much more familiar than at the beginning.

Zhou Ran, who was pulled into the group by Ensiruo, expressed great condemnation to Ensiruo for not being able to go that day.

But fortunately, the chocolate birthday cake brought to her was quite delicious, so it was basically flat.

After the birthday, the day of the open beta of "A Little Forest" has also suddenly shortened, and the work pressure has suddenly become a lot greater.

Endless bugs, endless programs, endless drawings, and all sorts of things are almost piled up.

Lingdao Games has invested a lot of money in the promotion of "Little Forest", and the advertisements are overwhelming.

The previous "Laughing Dreams" has occupied a certain market in the online game sector, and the income has been good.

Now the company naturally wants to develop other fields, and it just so happens that "Little Forest" has taken advantage of this east wind to realize the three-terminal interconnection between mobile phones, PCs and consoles, which has greatly expanded the potential player user base.

So "Little Forest" naturally carried the company's new hopes.

Such hopes are too heavy for a small team of less than 50 people.

Even if the team was expanded again, the team was not big after all, and the amount of work that everyone had to complete every day was still not easy.

And in order to welcome the open beta, the chief producer and chief planner led by Gong Cen and Ren Sui decided to add more game content, which also invisibly increased the workload.

Long hours of overtime have become the norm, and the lights in the office have to be turned on until more than ten o'clock in the evening every day.

Sometimes it's not uncommon to go back to your dorm room and home after work, and you have to continue typing those codes.

Nanjiang City also unknowingly entered the winter, and the temperature once dropped to less than 10 degrees.

This is really a rare thing for a coastal city with long summers and short winters, and it is unbearably hot all year round.

December came, and the early publicity of "Little Forest" had an effect, and the number of pre-downloaded games on the official website and major platforms once exceeded one million.

One million, two million, three million

The numbers are going up little by little.

Finally, at 12 o'clock in the morning on December 4th, "Little Forest" officially ushered in the open beta.

Nearly 5 million online players on the first day of launch, and all servers were full.

These news all mark the beginning of "A Little Forest" as a success.

Until that day

"I don't want to be a game artist for the rest of my life, or for the rest of my life."

At the table in the lunch cafeteria, Zhou Ran couldn't help but sigh.

Ensiruo, who was sitting across from her, was silent, just looking at her with pain in her eyes.

Zhou Ran pursed his lips: "Okay, it's still you who are more miserable." ”

En Siruo sighed and put down his chopsticks, "I haven't rested much since the open beta of our game for a week, and every day I open my eyes and close my eyes, it's all that pile of code." ”

"On the day of the open beta, I frantically repaired the server, repaired all kinds of feedback bugs, and repaired so much that my head almost cracked. I'm afraid to talk to Sister Yi Jia now. ”

"As long as Sister Yi Jia looks for me, there must be a bug to fix! Kill me! ”

"Alas," Zhou Ran sighed, "It's not easy." ”

The two of them chatted.

Lunch break is a rare time when they don't have to work overtime, and at this time, they can relax a little, eat, chat and rest, and don't have to think about work for the time being.

After eating, the two of them took the elevator upstairs after buying snacks.

When I went back to the office, I passed by the small conference room where everyone usually had a meeting, and suddenly there was a loud noise inside-

"! When we made this game, we didn't give any help! Now it's good! Come this hand! ”

"What now?"

The two people passing by outside the door stopped and glanced at each other, and immediately sensed that something was wrong, and both leaned towards the door of the conference room.

Inside was the voices of Tao Wenyao and Zhu Yue.

"Gong Group, you really didn't agree to their request, did you?"

Gong Cen is also there?

"No, I just told us to give us some time to think about what to do, so I'm here to talk to you now, aren't I?" Gong Cen's voice came.

There was silence in the office.

Ensiruo, who was eavesdropping outside the door, looked at Zhou Ran, and then looked at the door of the conference room, only to suddenly find that it was a frosted glass door.

"It's over."

As soon as the two words were finished, En Siruo clearly saw that the glass door was being pulled open from the inside.

Looking up, she met the eyes of the person who opened the door.

"Sister Zhuyue" Zhou Ran said tremblingly.

Several people in the conference room looked towards the door.

En Siruo also looked inside, and clearly saw the familiar back standing in the floor-to-ceiling window without saying a word, lonely and upright, revealing a little uninhibited.

"Why are you here?" Tao Wenyao asked.

"Xiao Ruo and I just passed by and heard you talking inside, so we just," Zhou Ran explained.

Hearing Zhou Ran's words, the person in front of the window moved, turned his head, and looked at Ensiruo.

En Siruo asked aloud, "Is something wrong?" ”

"It's okay, you go back."

Before Gong Cen finished speaking, Ren interrupted in a loud voice: "Let them in, it's not a secret news, besides, there are multiple people and multiple solutions." ”

After Ensiruo and Zhou Ran entered the conference room, Zhu Yue closed the door.

"Is something going on in the open beta?" En Siruo asked first.

Tao Wenyao frowned, rarely showed a sad face, and replied: "The company said that although the daily activity of "Little Forest" can be in the top three, the turnover is too low, and we are required to increase the player's krypton gold degree. ”

Hearing this, En Siruo exchanged glances with Zhou Ran.

When "Little Forest" was first established and produced, the purpose was to build a game with a high degree of openness and freedom, no matter how old or young the player is, he can live happily in the forest as any animal in the forest.

Build a game world that is not too lengthy in the plot story, forcing the protagonist to upgrade and fight monsters, excessive liver game time, and there will be no better than others when you charge money, etc., which will only make players disgusted.

A utopia for gamers who love games.

In that utopia, players can pursue everything they want by their own efforts, and temporarily escape all the unpleasantness of real life.

It is precisely because of this that when the game was built, Gong Cen and others, as the main creators, did not do a comprehensive job of krypton recharge.

After all, in the game, players can be self-sufficient in whatever they want.

If you want to build a house, you cut down trees yourself. If you want beautiful clothes, you can make your own fabrics and become a tailor.

In short, everything can be done on its own.

It is precisely because of this gameplay that "Little Forest" will be popular with many players during the closed beta and closed beta.

And this is also the reason why "Little Forest" can stand out from the encirclement and get high praise from players.

Isn't the company's request now tantamount to overturning all the previous praise and love of players, and making the production team go against their original intention of making this game?

But if the game turnover is not enough, then how can the game "Little Forest" get the support of Lingdao Games and continue to operate?

There's a change later.,Wait for me to go out and get a courier _(:З"∠)_ Today will be 5 more than a total of 1w words.,Tomorrow there will be no accidents, it's probably 1w or 8k.,Shameless to ask for a wave of recommended tickets! Have a great summer vacation!
