Jiang Qiubai took a deep breath and asked, "Is there a beta version?" Take it for me to see. ”

Generally speaking, in the process of game development, in order to make it easier to find bugs, there will be a build for everyone to test after the basic architecture is determined.

He wanted to see what kind of little clever ghost the original owner was.

Lao Liu saw that his expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked the program for the beta version.

Jiang Qiubai looked at the screen spread out in front of him, and was immediately attracted by the colorful icon.

The icon shows a cute girl in a short skirt, holding a gun in her hand, making an aiming motion, with bright lights in the background of high-rise buildings.

At first glance, it seems to be okay, if you ignore the name under the icon.

"Beautiful Girl Rush." Jiang Qiubai read out the name in a straight voice, and with the content, he looked a little happy.

Is there anything more mentally retarded than the name?

Soon, the reality told Jiang Qiubai - there really is.

Even more mentally retarded than the name is the content of the game.

The name can be changed at any time, but the content of this game makes Jiang Qiubai feel like he doesn't know where to start.

Less than two minutes after clicking on the game, Jiang Qiubai felt that he had been wounded half to death.

This game can't be said to have no plot at all - but this plot, it might as well not have one.

Click into the game, and the opening screen is a beautiful CG (picture) - at sunset, the heroine in school uniform is waving goodbye to her partners, and then text appears below.

"You, during the day, are an ordinary high school student."

"At night, you'll be transformed into the city's savior."

Then the scene turns to the night, the heroine changes into a tight leather coat, carries a gun, stands at the top of the city, and looks down at the monsters in the background condescendingly.

"Monsters are invading, and the sleeping demon king is about to wake up."

"Please pick up the gun in your hand and destroy these enemies!"

What Mary Sue background is this?!

Can high school students just give me good reading and homework?

Jiang Qiu slandered and didn't dare to ask again.

I'm afraid it's another divine operation of the original owner.

After the CG disappeared, there was a loading interface, and the loading was completed, and the game hall appeared directly in front of Jiang Qiubai.

On the left side of the hall, Duan Duan, the heroine in the default costume, stands, next to a row of function keys.

On the right, there are a variety of different game modes.

Jiang Qiubai shook the mouse unbelievingly, but nothing popped up.

It's good, not stuck.

He clicked on the mode casually.,After loading in, a monster pounced straight over.,As the screen shakes,The heroine's blood bar is gradually decreasing.。

The design and striking of this scene are not bad, but ......

"Where's the beginner's tutorial?" Jiang Qiubai supported his forehead.

Most games will have a skippable tutorial for players to skip when they first enter the game, so that players can quickly learn the game.

This is the first time players have come into contact with the game, and the setting of the beginner's tutorial will undoubtedly affect the player's impression of the game, so all kinds of games often incorporate their own game features into the tutorial.

FPS games often allow players to directly enter the battlefield, and arrange man-machine to help players get familiar with the operation as soon as possible.

This game is good.,Directly default to the player is a familiar hand.,There's not even a key hint.。

"I haven't done it yet, boss, you said at the time: just say a few key things, and just add a few words to it after you're done." Lao Liu replied silently.

…… Redundant question.

The outrageous cognition of the original owner in his heart was refreshed again, Jiang Qiubai simply asked Lao Liu to enter the instructions directly from the background, and watched the heroine automatically run around, kill all the monsters, and enter the customs clearance and settlement interface.

The girl on the screen jumped up happily and said yes, and then a pure black dress appeared in the center of the screen with a colorful light, and there was a small line underneath:

Congratulations on successfully clearing the level and receiving the reward: a premium evening dress.

Then the screen pans back to the game lobby.

This time, there was a hint asking if you needed to get dressed.

Jiang Qiubai casually clicked yes and entered the game again.

It's not the slightest bit different from the previous game.

Yes, not the slightest difference.

That is, the rewarded clothes are invisible during the game.

……

……

"What about the positive feedback from players? What about coolness? What to give? Clothes? Jiang Qiubai asked like a cannonball.

In addition to the immersion when shooting and the feel of ballistic launching, the attraction of this kind of FPS game is the reward given by clearing the customs settlement, and then changing to better equipment step by step according to the reward.

Now you're telling me that the reward for clearing the game is not a medal, a coin, or a more powerful weapon, but a piece of clothing?

Even though the outfit does look pretty, as a first-person shooter, the player can only enjoy the panorama from the character/interface when they put on the costume, and only one gun can be seen when they enter the game.

Isn't this wearing a loneliness?

Co-authored the original owner's heavy money to dig up the game planning at this level?

"Forehead ......" Lao Liu's expression was entangled, and he stopped talking.

Yes, just looking at Lao Liu, Jiang Qiubai concluded that this must be the masterpiece of the original owner: "It's okay, just say it." ”

Lao Liu was bold: "Our original idea was to reward gold coins after clearing the customs, and players can exchange gold coins for different weapons. ”

Jiang Qiubai nodded: "Most FPS games have this kind of setting. ”

Good weapons have better attack power and feel, and are more suitable for levels with increasing difficulty.

This can also entice players to keep going through the level, which is a good positive feedback.

Lao Liu saw that Jiang Qiubai was not as opposed as before, so he said again: "But boss, you said at the time that everyone was using that set, there is nothing new, it is better to reward clothes, so that you can also attract female players who like beautiful clothes at the same time." ”

"I also said that this is also unique in the FPS game, and it will definitely explode."

The pride on the face of the original owner at that time is still deeply imprinted in Lao Liu's mind.

Jiang Qiubai almost didn't come up in one breath.

There's really nothing wrong with being alone, but appealing to two types of players at the same time?

The background and difficulty of this game are enough to dissuade a large number of female players who come to play because of their clothes.

And most of the people who can get started are based on similar games, what they care about is how to become stronger, how to kill more coolly, clothes are just embellishments for them, and what they care about is more likely to be a weapon with a stylish appearance than beautiful clothes.

I'm afraid that the original owner's operation will directly offend these two types of players at the same time.

Jiang Qiubai was puzzled: "You also do this?" ”

This kind of thing that is unreliable when you hear it really makes them make it.

Why don't you make a suggestion for the original owner to add clothes to the game?

"So they're all gone." Lao Liu sighed.

It's not that they haven't objected, it's just that the original owner is bent on going his own way, and even if someone is kind enough to propose, they just feel that no one can understand his genius idea.

But the original owner holds everyone's lifeblood - salary, and they can only do it even if they are reluctant.

It's just that since then, the studio's morale has begun to fluctuate, and it just so happened that there was a problem with funds later, and the person who was poached by the original owner saw that the situation was wrong and chose to leave quickly.

Jiang Qiubai: ......

There is another reason for the collective resignation of the co-author.

The studio has come to this point, and the original owner is really not wronged.
