Chapter 22: Special Buff: -50%!
The work of adjusting the values and revising the text of the plot was carried out for five days.
In the past five days, Chen Ba took Yang Dong and Lu Jing from morning to night, and the abandoned plot text alone was as many as 200,000 words.
"Next time, I won't do this kind of strong plot game!"
"If you have to do this kind of strong plot game, you must recruit another professional plot planner."
Leaning back on the ergonomic chair, Chen Ba sighed and said, "I'm having a showdown, I'm a waste!" ”
"I'm the same!" *2
Lu Jing and Yang Dong hung their heads.
None of them are professional plot planners, and in order to modify the original plot line and optimize the emotional resonance events, their brains are about to explode.
It's not a human job!
Yang Dong took out the attitude of writing a love letter to the goddess, Lu Jing took out the level of composition to cope with the exam, Chen Ba ...... Brother Ba sacrificed his invincible hand speed that has been crisscrossing the canyon for many years and his parents are still alive.
All in all, they did their best.
The hard work still pays off, at least in the second-level page of the system, Chen Ba saw that the plot score of "Sending People Under the Fence Simulator" has increased from 78 points to 85 points.
I really can't mention it......
If you want to get a higher plot score, you can't do it by relying on them alone, without professional plot planning, it's already okay to score 85 points.
Chen Ba was very satisfied with this result.
If you're not satisfied, you can't help it, unless you immediately recruit a plot planner, and the level of writing the plot can't be too low, otherwise you can't change the result.
The good news is that while they were busy adjusting the values and changing the plot, the "Bug Bounty" activity launched by Chen Ba finally made progress.
A netizen from Ice City encountered a bug during the early access version of "Sending People Under the Fence Simulator"!
The bug comes from the trash.
In the map scene of "Sending People Under the Fence Simulator", there are hundreds of garbage cans scattered large and small, and players can go through the trash cans to pick up waste and get a certain amount of "pocket money" after recycling.
This Ice City player, while rummaging through the trash cans next to the park grove, inadvertently triggered a bug, causing the game to get stuck on the interactive page and the program could not continue to run.
After troubleshooting, Chen Ba finally determined that the bug originated from the logic error of the trash can interaction program, which led to the failure of the call of map resources.
This is Yang Dong's pot!
After all, he made the trash can, and the code was also written by him, so let him rework and change the interaction logic related to the trash can.
If the bug is true, the reward is 1,000!
Since this player has fed back the real bug to the studio, Chen Ba will not break his promise.
Not only did he give the player a reward, but he also posted it to the community to motivate other players to step up and find more bugs in the Early Access version.
It's a pity......
Although the reward of 1,000 yuan for a bug was already tempting and the players were very motivated, there was no new bug feedback in the following days.
The only valuable feedback from players was that there was a typo in the "game dialogue text", that [一丘之貉] was called [一丘之鲉], and that the producer did not go to college at first glance.
"This ...... I really didn't go to college! ”
Xiao Lu frankly admitted his mistake to the player, and said that he would deepen his learning in this area in the future and never make the same mistake again.
Such a sincere statement would not be able to fix it for this grumbling player.
Elder brother! I'll just complain casually, but you really came?
……
More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
With the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Ba felt that the time was ripe.
So far, they have conducted a 42-day extreme high-pressure test on "Fence Under the Fence Simulator", and have also mobilized thousands of players to find 13 bugs in the game.
There were 10 bugs that they tested themselves, and only 3 bugs came from player feedback.
There is no point in continuing to test.
It's been a long time since the Early Access version was released, and the game is not a semi-finished product at the beginning, and players have been urging the official version to be launched as soon as possible.
In addition, the development work lasted from June to October, and Tianba Game Studio was almost out of steam.
Although there are also players who buy the game in the early access stage, most players will choose to wait and see and wait for the official version to be released.
As a result, if "Simulator Under the Fence" wants to really return to its original cost and achieve profitability, it has to rely on the official version, not the so-called early access version.
"Let's release the official version next Saturday!"
"The bugs have been almost investigated, and even if there are still bugs that have not been found, it is estimated that it will not have much impact."
Chen Ba thought about it and made the decision to release the official version of "Simulator Under the Fence" next week.
The official version is priced at 25 yuan!
Compared with the early access version, it has risen by 7 yuan.
This pricing is reasonable, after all, the price of early access is about equal to a seven-percent discount, and the price of the official version will inevitably increase when it is launched.
And another reason for the price increase of the game is also because of the increase in production costs.
It's not uncommon for games to "increase the volume without increasing the price", but Tianba Studio, as a small workshop, obviously has to survive first and then consider giving benefits to players.
This pricing has also been supported by most of the community players, only a few people are complaining that Tianba Studio is bad at learning, and the good ones don't learn to learn from others, and the price increases!
But whether it is support or complaining, since the pricing has been determined, even if the players scold, Chen Ba will not modify it indiscriminately.
"Cold Window Reading Simulator" can be reduced in price!
As a game launched in the summer vacation, it has not been discounted since its release.
Counting the days, it's time for price reductions and promotions.
There was no discount before, because new games generally do not change their prices easily, so as to avoid losses for players who purchased in the early stage.
And at that time, the sales of "Cold Window Bitter Reading Simulator" were also very stable, and there was no need to rely on discount promotions to increase sales.
This time and that time!
With the passage of time, especially the launch of the new work "Simulator Under the Fence", the sales of "Cold Window Reading Simulator" have fallen to the bottom, less than one-tenth of the previous months.
In this case, whether it's to boost sales or celebrate the release of a new game from Tianba Studios, the game should be discounted and no longer have to keep its original price.
Chen Ba groaned: "Let's get a 5% discount!" ”
Buy early and enjoy early, buy late with discounts, don't buy for free!
Although it has not yet reached the stage of "free delivery", this is the first time that it has been discounted, and if you don't show some sincerity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to impress those players.
Then it's a little simpler, and it's half off directly.
The original price of 18 yuan of "Cold Window Bitter Reading Simulator", now with a "-50%" green status box, can be purchased and stored for only 9 yuan.
Nine bucks!
This is also the reason why Chen Ba is discounted by 5%, the single-digit and double-digit selling prices are completely different concepts at the visual level.
This is the same as those shopping malls, which like to mark 9.99 yuan, 99.99 yuan This kind of promotional price.
Don't look at the difference of only a penny, but consumers' visual perception and desire to buy are completely different from 10 yuan and 100 yuan!
