Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Generally speaking, the R&D team of a gaming company will work one or even two versions faster than the game content that the player will be playing.

For example, if the players are playing version 1.01, then the test suit should already be testing the game content of 1.02, the development group should be developing the game content of 1.03, and the development plan of 1.04 is on the agenda.

Of course, this is some version of the frequently updated game.

But even if versions are less frequently updated, the development plan of the development team is at least one version faster than what the current player is playing.

After game development is completed, of course, we must move quickly to the next R&D stage, otherwise the project team will be fine for the time being.

So based on his previous work experience, Huang felt that it was time to plan for the next stage of R&D, which was within his purview as an executive policy.

At no time can President Bae rush the development of the next version, Huang Sibao started the arrangement, which is a serious mistake.

Bao Xu had no objection to this and raised his hands in favour.

“But the problem now is… I don't know what to plan, I don't even know how to modify it, there's no direction.” Huang Sibao spoke of his troubles.

The new version is nothing more than two parts, one for repair and the other for improvement.

Fix some of the bugs, vulnerabilities and irrationalities that already exist in the game on the one hand, and develop new ways to play, new maps, new content, and improve and expand the game itself on the other.

But now the problem with Huang Sibao is that the Fortress at Sea itself is already in the perfect shape that he and Bao Xu think it is, as if there are no bugs and design flaws to fix!

As for developing new content…

To be honest, that's enough now.

There are plot modes, there are battle modes, and in battle modes there are also biochemical modes, ghost modes, blast modes and other segments of play.

There's nothing new to add at the moment!

Before the players get tired of their current game content, can't they just eat and hang on to new games and new maps?

Bao Xu also has a bit of an egg ache, which is beyond his competence.

Play games, Bao Xu is good.

But Bao Xu couldn't do anything about the game itself.

“I don't understand either, Brother Huang, you watch yourself. Come on, what do you think we should do about this?” Bao Xu asked.

Huang Sibao thought about it: “I think we should get some core players to experience the game and give us some ideas and suggestions. ”

“Brother Bao, don't get me wrong, not that your advice is not enough, but after all, the authorities are obsessed, we still have to find as many other players as possible, the bigger the sample, the more accurate the data. ”

Bao Xu didn't care. Instead, he nodded and thought Huang Sibao was right.

Previously, the balance and feel of the game relied on Bao Xu as a big bag.

Bao Xu felt that the ballistics of which gun was to be changed and the hand of which action was not good, Huang Sibao arranged for the design team to change it immediately.

However, Bao Xu is only one person after all, he can only represent him personally.

The game is aimed at hundreds of thousands of players, who can guarantee that their taste will be representative of that of most players?

So Huang Sibao felt that it was still necessary to find a group of players to experience the game.

By picking out the problem, you can schedule it to the next stage of the version plan to continuously optimize the game.

In this way, Huang Sibo has the idea of developing a plan of work for the next step.

“I agree, but which players are you looking for? We let them test the game for no reason. Can they do it? Do we have to pay a fee?” Bao Xu asked.

“Well... that's the problem.” Huang Sibo frowned slightly, "let me see where I can get some white mice. ”

……

Huang Sibao was also a little upset when he got back to his job.

True, it's time to get a couple of mice. No, it's supposed to be a bunch of mice to test the game.

In fact, there should be a player test before a normal game goes live.

Often, more capable testing teams than those sand sculptors with bug physique.

But on the one hand, after the popularization of the game editor and the faster ESRO review, the R&D process of many games has become more and more compressed, and the public testing process has become available; on the other hand, President Pei has never told us to arrange a public examination, and let Huang Sibo directly bring the game to trial.

So Fortress at Sea went straight to the Internet, and there were no player metrics at all.

Now Huang Sibao feels that it is necessary to grab a few white mice to advise him on the game, but where exactly to grab the white mice becomes a big problem.

No connections, no way!

Would you like... to speak to President Pei?

It's not right.

It's so simple, please tell President Pei, you can't disgrace this man!

Huang Sibao repeatedly warned himself: You are now implementing policy!

President Bai entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, not to want you to ask him everything like an elementary school student, but to be able to do your own work properly!

Some small things, it is best to handle properly by yourself, do not always bother with President Pei.

Besides, catching a white mouse doesn't always make a difference. Even though President Pei has a lot of talent, he can't lift his sleeve and find a player to try the game, right?

Therefore, Huang Sibao pressed down to ask Pei Huan's thoughts to decide whether it would be better to do this dirty work on his own.

After trying to reach thousands of degrees of fruitlessness, Huang Sibo sent a message inside the design group.

“I want to find a group of players to test the game... who has a way? It's best to find a group of fans who like to play FPS games, wave with the group owner PY, and help pull a group of white mice over. ”

“Of course, we'll have to have a little fun. It's impossible to give money, but you can send them some limited access guns in the game. ”

Spending money looking for someone is definitely something you can find.

But if you spend money, you have to let Bae know.

Huang Sibao felt that there was no need to bother President Pei, and he could not put money inside himself, so he had to give some benefits in the game.

It's not very appealing to the players, but... it's always better than nothing.

Quickly, the crowd replied.

Most people, like Huang Sibao, have no way out, do not know similar people, and do not have a similar group of players.

Xiao Lu suggested that he could search for a group of players in the Counter-Terrorism Plan to see if he could successfully mix in with the group owner PY wave.

However, the success rate of the programme has been modest.

Entering people's group of players to advertise, let them play other FPS games, it doesn't give enough benefits, I'm afraid the group owner will have to kick them out on the spot.

At this time, Lin spoke late.

“Uh... I do have a few contact details for a large group of FPS game enthusiasts. They basically have a group of one or two players, and there should be hundreds of them in the group. ”

Huang Sibao asked quickly, "Can I talk to them for a second?... Oh, I'm sorry, I mean, let them help a little. ”

Huang Sibao realized that he should not be unblocked in front of adorable girls and hurried to correct his language.

Lin Xiao didn't care: “No problem. I know them well. One thing. ”

Huang Sibao was curious: “How do you know so many FPS game enthusiasts? ”

This is a little unreasonable.

Lin Xiao is not an FPS gaming enthusiast, and even if she is, there is no reason to meet so many FPS gaming group owners at the same time.

Lin Night explained: "Oh, because when I was interning at the fire studio, the project team developed" Bullet Trail "and deliberately recruited a group of core FPS game players to be testers, and I was in charge of docking with them and contacting them. ”
