Chapter 298: Brain-opening test session
Chen Ba is not a big star, at most he is a little famous in the game circle, and it is impossible for him to be on the top of the hot search, and the probability of getting out of the circle is not large.
Because of this, he still didn't delete this post in the end.
If you like to discuss, you can discuss.,The parties have no opinions.,He himself has an indifferent attitude.,There's no need to delete the post.。
But he overlooked one point.
That is, when this rumor reached the ears of Lao Chen and Lao Wang, two "good friends", the situation immediately changed.
Lao Chen is okay, at most, he knocks on the side to ask whether it is true or false, after all, he urges marriage to urge marriage, and he is still very cautious about his son's lifelong affairs, and he will not make a conclusion easily.
Comrade Lao Wang is outrageous.
He was still pretending to be sick in the ICU of the hospital, but after learning the news, he didn't even pretend to be sick, and went directly to the headquarters of Tianba Studio to arrest Chen Ba offline.
By the way, he went out with his household registration book......
"No, who is a good person who will carry the household registration book with him?"
Chen Ba was stunned, and took the household registration book handed over by Lao Wang and said with a puzzled face: "It's okay to carry it with you, what do you mean by handing it over to me directly?" Don't pretend, showdown? ”
"You've both talked about it, so what am I pretending to be?"
"Hurry up, hurry up and get the certificate! I have chosen the day of the wedding, and I will do it in two days, and I will go to your father and say, don't worry, I don't want a penny of bride price from your family......"
Is this a bride price?
Chen Ba always felt that Lao Wang was a little wrong, no matter how optimistic he was about Chen Ba, he wouldn't be so upside down!
Could it be ...... There is a conspiracy?
The more Lao Wang was like this, the more worried Chen Ba became, after all, he had grown so big, and he had never seen this kind of battle. The more Lao Wang urged, the more he was not in a hurry, but persuaded Lao Wang to continue to play his "cancer patient".
As for the reason, it is naturally casual.
The rumors on the Internet are false, and Chen Ba is now busy making a brand new game, and he is very busy with work, and he doesn't have time to think about these things.
What he said was the truth, and he was not afraid that Lao Wang would not believe it.
When it comes to this, Lao Wang can't help it, he also knows the truth of "enough is enough", so he proposed, wait for Chen Ba to finish the game "The True Story of Abba first".
"Then I'll go back to the hospital first and continue to pretend to be sick! Don't let me go, I can't hold a ...... for long."
The excuse that Lao Wang made was cancer, and it was the kind that was incurable at an advanced stage.
To be honest, the fact that he can pretend that he hasn't been recognized for so long is enough to prove how superb his acting skills are, and how much the hospital cooperates with his performance.
But paper can't contain fire after all, and he can't keep it going.
So his greatest wish is to quickly take Chen Ba, a good son-in-law, into his pocket before the disguise is revealed, and he can't give other bewitching sluts a chance to take advantage of.
Of course, he also asked Chen Ba to keep it secret and not to tell Wang Ya about his pretending to be sick.
"If you tell me to keep it a secret, will you keep it a secret?"
Chen Ba is not so obedient, not to mention that Lao Wang is not even willing to pay hush money, and always calls Lao Chen to calculate him together, how can he be angry?
So after sending the old king away, he directly sent the ins and outs of the matter to Wang Ya on the other side through a WeChat message.
"Okay, I got it."
I thought that Wang Ya would be shocked and angry when she learned the truth, but her attitude was unexpectedly calm, as if she had known it a long time ago.
What kind of play is this?
Chen Ba was also unable to rectify the operation of the father and daughter, and couldn't figure out who was acting.
If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, anyway, it doesn't have much to do with him, and the most important thing at the moment is about the testing work and publicity arrangements of "The True Story of Aba".
……
As we all know, testing a game often takes an extremely long time.
Especially for games that require an internet connection!
But Tianba Studio is obviously the exception, and so far, there has not been a single game that has been tested for more than half a year.
This is also one of the sources of Tianba Studio's reputation as a "fast gunner".
Why is it so fast?
The answer seems to be very simple, because in the testing stage, many things cannot be tested, or there is no chance to test.
Take "The True Story of Abba " as an example.
Most of the code that exists in the game uses resource mods from the Tempa game engine and the Tempa codebase.
To put it bluntly, old wine in new bottles!
Don't think it's weird, in fact, this is the real reason why Tianba Studio is known as the "fast gunner", and it is also the main contributor to the rapid progress of the production.
Why does the development progress of a game like "Black Myth Wukong" take two or three years or even four or five years at every turn? And "Global Evolution", which is about the same size, took less than a year?
This is because, in a game like Black Myth Goku, everything is started from scratch and there are not many existing resources to call on or even draw on.
Although "Global Evolution" has a lot of original things, most of the functions and game mods have already been used in other games, and you can use it by directly copying the magic change.
Here's an example.
Because the game "Divine Grace Continent" has a set of special NPC generation mechanisms, and since then, Tianba Studio has developed a new game, and about NPCs, it is good to directly call the program to copy NPCs in batches.
It's a bit like the League of Legends team decided to come up with a new hero, Seraphine, Q is damage, W is shield, E is slow control, passive will strengthen small skills, and ultimate: group control......
it, Piano Girl Plus?
Players have this perception because of the high level of similarity between Seraphine and Jean Maiden in terms of ability mechanics and team positioning.
Actually, this statement is not wrong, because from the code level, the bad Seraphine skill mod is the code that calls the piano girl.
If a designer wants to create a hero with a special mechanic, they will find it particularly difficult and prone to game bugs.
For example, Foyego, Silas, etc.
But if you get closer to the old hero in terms of mechanics and make a "stitching monster", it will be much simpler, just call the code of the old hero to change the model and values.
This is a lot of work, and the former takes a lot more time than the latter.
It's the same thing with making games, and launching a new game based on a lot of great games is definitely a time saver than starting from scratch with nothing.
The funniest thing is that because of the use of the Tianba game engine, even the "art resources" can directly call the old game, and there is no need to make a new set.
This is one of the reasons why the development of Abba is progressing so quickly, and even the testing work is so short.
Can it not be fast?
The map is based on "Speed Hurricane", the art design and functional modules are borrowed from "Global Evolution", and some of the gameplay and interaction are referenced from "Simulator Under the Fence......
It's not an exaggeration to say that this is a "stitching" game, and it's even very apt.
Chen Ba also admitted that there is really not much original content in "The True Story of Aba", and most of it is stitching and repairing old games.
But it's not a big deal.
There are many games like this in the game circle, and he is not the only one who does this, so what is there to be nervous and shy?
Besides......
Whether a game is fun or not has nothing to do with whether it's a stitching monster or not.
What's wrong with the stitching monster?
A well-sewn game can still attract a large number of players, and the popular game that has become popular in recent years, who hasn't been a stitching monster?
"As long as the game is fun, even if it's a stitching monster, you'll like it" dignified serialization!!
"Abba Story" is divided into two game modes: online and single-player, and the testing steps are also different.
The focus is on online mode.
After all, judging from the information that Chen Ba has mastered, if this game is going to have problems, there is a high probability that it will be because of the online mode.
On the contrary, it is a single-player mode, which is unlikely to cause any problems, or worse game bugs.
"You're a stereotype!"
"Ah, yes, yes, what's wrong with my stereotypes? Let's talk about the first few games in our studio, which one is not a bug in online mode? ”
Chen Ba said righteously: "Can't say it, right? Let me tell you, all games that have online features, game bugs come from online mode, without exception! ”
This is a matter of experience.
In his short career as a game producer, Chen Ba didn't experience anything else, but he was extremely impressed by the online mode.
There's no way, who made the games under Tianba Studio, as long as there is an online function, there will always be problems in the online part?
As the saying goes, a long illness becomes a good doctor.
After experiencing a lot, he also has a further understanding of the Tie Hanhan system. Judging by his experience, the vicious game bug of "The True Story of Abba is 100% from the online mode!"
He was confident in his judgment, so this time, he directly concentrated his forces and went all out to test the limit of "bar fried rice" around the online mode.
And he did not believe.
After being fooled so many times, he has grasped the law this time, can't he find out the possible bugs before the game is officially released?
"Diverge your thinking!"
Chen Ba earnestly taught: "When testing, open your brain hole as much as possible, don't think of yourself as a serious player, how can you ...... evil sect."
Serious test, that is not to detect anything, this Chen Ba has long been prepared.
According to past experience, it can be seen that the vicious bug of the game must be triggered in an extremely evil and unexpected way of playing.
So, let your imagination run wild!
The testing work of "The True Story of Abba ", under his leadership, went to a very extreme, very evil direction, which people couldn't understand.
Xiao Lu controls his "lame" character in online mode, trying to catch up with the 300km/h high-speed train......
Li Qizhen was in the online mode, planning to attack another colleague who accompanied him to test, but the soft ones didn't come to the hard ones, and the behavior was extremely weird......
Liu Jinfu tried to be an "extralegal fanatic" in the game, not doing any tasks, how to be unscrupulous......
Rogie is on the wrong side, and he uses "The True Story of Abba Story" as a travel simulator, and is trying to climb Mount Everest in a wheelchair......
Everyone has their own ideas and brains, and they have all tested them in the game, trying to find out the so-called "hidden dangers" of Brother Ba.
However, all in vain.
The powerful physics engine and simulation system made the lame Xiao Lu fail to catch up with the high-speed rail, but instead fell himself and turned around and went to the hospital.
The content that is not allowed by laws and regulations, "The True Story of Aba" cannot be realized, and Li Qizhen failed to discover the side of "Brother, you are so fragrant".
The difference is that thanks to the game's ultra-high degree of freedom, Liu Jinfu's dream of being an extralegal fanatic can be realized.
But it's a pity......
Liu Jinfu, a deaf and mute who vowed to play "The True Story of Aba" as "The Legend of the Great Thief Aba", was caught as soon as he robbed the commissary.
The fate of the wheelchair man Rogie is slightly better, although in the game, the physical strength and energy of the characters are capped, but ...... Wheelchairs are perpetual motion machines that do not consume energy......
So, he developed a new way to play: wheelchair autopilot, where the character sits on it to sleep and regain his strength and energy, so that he can travel all over the world!
It's a pity that he didn't drive all the way to Mount Everest in a wheelchair, and the character was drowned while sleeping because of the wheelchair driving into the river......
"Good, keep it up!"
Although the first round of testing did not find the problem, Chen Ba believes that this direction is correct, and the test game has to go the wrong way.
And it's only the first day.
As long as you keep this train of thought, continue to explore the game's evil gameplay in online mode in the next few days, and find out the "hidden dangers" only a matter of time.
Thinking of this, he was immediately relieved.
With Luo Ji and Xiao Lu watching the test work, he can take the time to discuss with Brother Dong about how to promote the game "Abba Story".
If the game wants to sell well, quality is one thing, and publicity is also a very important part!
It is undeniable that there is no shortage of games in the game industry that rely on word-of-mouth fermentation and then take off step by step in sales, and there are even many of them.
But to be honest, if you can do it in one step, who wants to wait for word-of-mouth fermentation slowly and leisurely, and rely on players' word of mouth and tap water to increase sales?
Isn't the cost of time a cost?
Because of its unique theme, "The True Story of Abba Truth" must be cautious in its publicity, at least to avoid misinterpretation or even misunderstanding as much as possible.
"It's better not to advertise ......"
Yang Dong put forward his opinion: "If you publicize it on a large scale, it is inevitable that you will be suspected of taking advantage of others' misfortune to make money, and players will probably be very disgusted." ”
"Small-scale propaganda doesn't make much sense, after all, we are all this size, is there any difference between small-scale propaganda and non-publicity?"
"So I suggest that we don't do any publicity, release it in a low-key way, and rely on word of mouth from players to help us promote the game spontaneously......"
That's fine, too!
Chen Ba thought about it and found that what Brother Dong said was indeed very reasonable. At the scale of "The True Story of Aba", small-scale publicity is better than no publicity.
In the case of large-scale publicity, it is easy to be criticized by others, after all, this theme is indeed a bit too "special".
Then don't advertise it, just like Penguin doing the game "See", those who know will naturally know, and forget what they don't know.
At the same time, the game can also make a supplementary explanation, indicating that the relevant income of the game will be fully set up a special "foundation" to help the disabled.
Then this is a public welfare game, and players will not provoke the disgust of passers-by and netizens when they help promote it......
