Brother Ba's decision to give Xiao Lu a salary increase was unanimously supported by everyone in the studio.

After all, this bug is too critical.

After Xiao Lu received the praise and the guarantee of a salary increase, he immediately demonstrated to everyone the process of generating the bug and the logical principle of the bug.

In simple terms.

In the game Grace Continent, the unique Friendship mechanic is the key to recruiting NPC companions.

Different NPCs have different initial favorability for the player.

The monsters in the game,Originally, there was no such design,It won't have a good feeling.,As long as the player encounters a monster, the battle will be triggered......

But after triggering the battle, you can choose to "escape"!

Because most NPCs are unique, the escape mechanism is to protect the player, and when they are about to encounter a group annihilation, choose to flee to save their living power, and then make a comeback.

The escape mechanic is fine.

The problem is that after the player chooses to run away and leaves the fight, the monster will remain in a "hatred disengagement" state for about 10 seconds.

In other words:

The brave led a group of teammates to crusade against the monster, and found that he couldn't beat it, and after choosing to run away to save his life, the monster would not pull the brave into the battle at the first time.

This is also to give the player time to react.,Otherwise, just run away and end the battle.,As soon as the result comes out.,The monster hatred hasn't broken away and entered the battle again.,So how do you escape?

"The problem is in these 10 seconds of hatred time!"

Xiao Lu explained: "In these 10 seconds, the monster that hated to break away from the underlying logic applied the neutral goodwill template of the NPC. ”

In two sentences:

Normally, monsters don't work with NPC templates, they have their own set of behavior logic.

But the brave escapes, 10 seconds after the battle, the time when the monster hatred is separated, in order to save trouble, the bottom layer is applied to the NPC neutral template.

For 10 seconds, the monster behaves like a normal "neutral NPC".

So during this time, the brave can use gifts on monsters to increase favorability, ten seconds is not enough? Then keep fighting, keep running, keep going through the process......

When the friendship reaches the "Follow" level and runs away again, the monster will appear in the "Recruitable" list queue, and the battle will no longer be triggered.

A bug that sounds complicated, under normal circumstances, it doesn't happen to any player.

But Chen Ba didn't dare to underestimate the horror of the fourth natural disaster, as long as there was this bug, the player would definitely be able to trigger it, and use this bug to attack the demon king.

No matter how small the probability is, he doesn't dare to bet.

So this bug must be fixed, so that after the game is released, everyone is not doing their job properly, and they run to attack the demon king and forget the identity of the brave.

"To fix this bug, you need to replace the underlying logic code, in short, after the monster is free from hatred, it can't continue to use the NPC neutral template."

Xiao Lu smiled bitterly: "It's time-consuming, and it's not worth writing a piece of code for it alone, so I think the plan is to add a few lines of code to lock the upper limit of the monster's favorability." ”

It's also a way to save trouble.

It's a hassle to rewrite the bottom layer, and it's not necessary, after all, there are many solutions to this problem.

The simplest solution is to lock the upper limit of the friendship of monster characters.

In this way, during the period of hatred detachment, even if the monster uses the NPC template, it is not a normal NPC, and the favorability cannot be increased.

"No, no, no, it has to be rewritten!"

Chen Ba shook his head, saying that Xiao Lu's solution was unreliable, and he still had to rewrite the underlying code to be reassuring.

Fear everything!

It's hard to find the hidden troubles of the new game, and if he doesn't eradicate it all at once, he chooses to fool the past, and he's worried that there will be new bugs.

Rewrite and rewrite!

Although it will waste some time and is not very meaningful, at least it eliminates the possibility of the resurrection of the bug variant.

"Okay, listen to you!"

Brother Ba said that the code had been rewritten, and Xiao Lu naturally had no opinion. Anyway, it's Brother Ba's salary, and he can do what he says!

So under Chen Ba's advice, Xiao Lu and Zhong Shengwei began to fix the bug.

As for other bugs......

Chen Ba also took a look, as Xiao Lu described, it is indeed not serious, it is basically a common small problem, and it will be fine if you change it slightly.

"Our new game is great!"

"It's better than any game before, and I can guarantee that the new game will definitely surprise everyone when it comes out......"

Before the early access version was released, the game had already solved the deeply hidden vicious bug, which made Chen Ba very proud.

In the Tianba game community, when answering questions from a group of players about the new game, he even used the word "flawless" to describe the new game.

This surprised everyone?

How much did Brother Ba drink before he dared to say such?

Did he forget so quickly how the nicknames "Cattle Herding Simulator", "House Flipping Simulator" and "Graphics Card Emperor" came from?

"Every time before the release of a new game, Brother Ba will talk more crazy, everyone understand......"

"In the development stage, he was arrogant, he was silent about the first trial, and he was officially released with nonsense, and Brother Ba is indeed like this."

"Brother Ba, what new bugs have you brought to everyone?"

"A bunch of little blacks, what's wrong with my pigeons? Isn't it just that there are a few bugs in the game, don't play if you have the ability......"

Don't believe me, do you?

Seeing the mocking speech of Yishui in the player community, Chen was so angry that his face darkened.

He admits that the previous games of Tianba Studio did have problems of one kind or another, which caused the games to deviate from the original design intent in the end.

But that's his carelessness!

If it weren't for the sloppiness and no problems during the testing phase, the first few games wouldn't have turned out to be like this.

If you don't believe it, don't believe it!

By the time "Divine Grace Continent" is officially released, players' stereotypes about him and Tianba Studio should be able to reverse a lot.

"That's right, Brother Ba!"

Seeing that Chen Ba was chatting with people in the player community, Zhong Shengwei on the side couldn't help but ask: "Everyone is very concerned about the pricing of our new game, what do you think?" ”

"What's ...... game pricing?"

Chen Ba frowned and fell into deep thought.

He really hasn't seriously thought about this question. After all, there are too many factors to weigh when pricing a game, and it's not just a matter of setting whatever price you want.

The studio's first few games, the official version is priced at 18, 25, and 50 yuan respectively!

The volume of the new game is here, and the pricing will certainly not be too low, but it is not a big game after all, and it does not meet the three-digit requirement.

Eighty or ninety dollars is too expensive!

At such a high price, fewer people will buy it, after all, many players have a scale in their hearts, and they won't buy it if they don't think it's cost-effective.

Forty or fifty dollars is cheap again!

After all, "Divine Grace Continent" is really attentive, and Chen Ba also admits that he has invested more energy in this game than "Starry Sky Emperor".

"68 pieces!"

Chen Ba thought about it for a while, combined the pricing of other similar games, and finally made a decision: "The early access version is 57 pieces, the official version is 68 pieces, and the deluxe version with DLC will come back later." ”
