[Breaking news! The highly anticipated and phenomenal otome romance holographic game "Breath of Dawn" produced by AE Company has a card pool bug on the first day of public beta! 】
[The public beta of Breath of Dawn failed, confusing behavior: a wealthy man spent 100,000 yuan but didn't see the plot card of the protagonist He Jinxing, so he angrily issued an invoice to warn the game company? ]
[The first day of the public beta of the otome holographic game, which was promoted under the slogan "Let's have a romantic relationship", saw billions of dollars in revenue. Before the celebration party even started, the technical staff had been called back to the company to work overtime - thanks for the invitation, but they are on the way to being fired.]
"Breath of Dawn", the first holographic game for otome romance jointly launched by domestic game giant Juzhong Media and AE, a professional holographic game company that has produced many hit games abroad, has attracted much attention since the promotion period.
The several male protagonists that can be conquered are different, which meets all the hobbies of the traditional otome mobile game audience. In addition, the bloody plot line is full of the atmosphere of "I am a local dog and I love to watch" and "My mother reads Qiong Yao and I read the domineering president, so what?"...
Therefore, it attracted much attention at the very beginning of the promotion.
On the first day of the game’s public beta, related hot searches swept across major social media platforms.
This was expected.
Unexpectedly, what swept across all major platforms were negative reviews of the game.
【Player 1: Damn it, was the character He Jinxing created just for me to pay tribute to him? ! ! ! ! 】
【Player 2: ??? #I spent 120,000, but He Jinxing still doesn’t love me! 】
[Player 3: The person above spent 200,000... I suddenly feel good. I only spent 50,000 and I really don't deserve He Jinxing to smile at me (^_^) I am ungrateful, what am I complaining about? ]
[Player 4: It's harder to capture He Jinxing than to capture the AE boss. How come the hidden reward for the first player to capture this character is a marriage certificate with the AE boss issued by the Civil Affairs Bureau? I heard he's quite young. If so, I'll spend more money on him? ]
【Player 5: The funniest thing is that every time I go to see He Jinxing, this big guy is at school. Big guy, you have so much free time! Why don’t you go to work! Go make money! Okay, you can be at school, come and chat with me, but you just pass by without even looking back! Why are you always with the female supporting role!】
【Player 6: The official is here to tell me that "love lasts until death and is not affected by money", right? Yes, love is "the love between the male protagonist and the female supporting role." 】
【Player 7: For those who haven’t played this game yet, please don’t be afraid of our comments. Let me say one thing for this new game: Run!!! 】
Beside Qi Yuan, bursts of insane laughter could be heard.
Xiao Zhou from the outsourced PR department who also came to work overtime could not empathize with the pain of the programmers who faced the bugs.
The endless stream of complaints from netizens made him so happy that his eyes narrowed into slits. He read out these angry messages from the sponsors who paid for the game to Qi Yuan one by one, tirelessly.
Qi Yuan opened the game cabin. His jeans wrapped around his long legs. As he landed on the ground, the handsome programmer with fair skin sighed.
Officially announced that his second attempt to fix the game bug failed.
Qi Yuan couldn't figure out what was going on.
When this game was in beta, the running data showed that everything was running normally, and the card pool could also drop normally. There were tens of thousands of sweet plot cards in the card pool, featuring the heroine Lu Wan played by the player and various male protagonists and male supporting actors, waiting for players to extract and dig...
However, for some reason, these cards rarely see the light of day.
Yesterday at exactly midnight on the first day of the public beta, when all the players who entered the game entered the plot where the vicious female supporting role poured red wine on the heroine's head, the entire plot got stuck.
An unknown virus was implanted into the game, and then all the plots of the game went haywire. No matter how much money the players spent, the cards with sweet interfaces seemed to disappear from the card pool.
I can't pull it out at all.
All the side quests of the heroine Lu Wan cannot be triggered. Even if the main quest is forcibly triggered and the heroine and the hero come into contact, it is difficult to advance the main quest of the second stage smoothly.
One of the male protagonists, He Jinxing, was originally designed to be the core male protagonist. For some reason, he seemed to have been activated by a virus and became an AI with self-awareness, and he showed no interest in the female protagonist at all.
Even if the programmer personally intervenes and modifies the plot to force these two people together, it seems that the object of the male protagonist's attention will eventually become the vicious female supporting role Gou An.
"Maybe the original plot line was too stupid and the male lead couldn't continue? Then let the plot team deduct the screenwriter's fee!"
Xiao Zhou laughed so hard that he made asthma sounds.
"It's too late. The final payment has already been made."
"Oh, promise me - next time you make an otome game, will you use a female screenwriter? What do men know about love and heartbeats?"
While Xiao Zhou was complaining, Qi Yuan leaned against the game cabin, took a deep breath, and began to browse the problems that appeared during the second round of revisions.
At first, he was just browsing the data anomalies like he did in the first round, and then he found that the friendship progress bar function of the capture character, which was originally supposed to be visible to the heroine Lu Wan, had gone to the vicious female supporting role Gou An.
He searched every corner of the database but couldn't find the cause. He could only blame it on the strange virus that modified some data, causing the subsequent plot to be drastically modified like a butterfly effect.
Qi Yuan had no choice but to go deep into the game and check for abnormal phenomena.
He chose a marginal character whose name was only briefly mentioned in the original game script - He Yuan.
This name was given by a colleague from the next group who was in charge of the character design just to tease him.
He Yuan is a suitable character. He has never appeared in the official script. His identity is neither too close nor too distant from the main characters in the plot, so it is not difficult to get close to him, and he does not seem too abrupt.
Before entering the game, out of boredom, Qi Yuan pinched his own face again. He pinched the face of the character He Yuan again, imitating the face of the boss who usually forced them to work overtime and this time got furious and told them that he would be fired if they didn't work overtime to solve the problem. After thinking about it, he ignored the "height 174" in the character setting and forcibly raised his height by several centimeters.
The male protagonist He Jinxing is 188cm tall. His face is based on the face of the company's CEO. He entered the game at 174cm tall. You can't always look up to He Jinxing—
It’s frustrating enough that we have to look up at the boss on video during company meetings every day.
Qi Yuan returned gloriously as He Yuan and came among the game characters. After going through various plot triggers and contacts, he finally confirmed that the virus that caused the entire game to be abnormal had run into the female supporting character Gou An.
He is not that kind of person.
This virus is like Qi Yuan wearing He Yuan's skin. It has also worn the skin of the cat that died in the first scene of the vicious female supporting character Gou An.
How smart! Who would doubt a mere kitten that died at the very beginning?
As soon as Qi Yuan discovered the virus kitten, he began to capture and seal it, and used He Yuan's identity to approach Lu Wan, trying to get everything back on track.
It didn't work.
The male protagonist He Jinxing has his own unique understanding of the game.
In the end, the hero watched helplessly as he noticed the heroine's specialness, but he was not moved by her and instead threw her into the fire pit as a fire extinguisher...
Qi Yuan was completely suffocated by that clean, decisive and not very correct behavior.
This is not harmonious, friendly and democratic. It cannot even pass the review.
I watched helplessly as the hero and the supporting actress embraced each other in the midst of heavy rain and raging fire, as if they were in doomsday...
Qi Yuan was really convinced. He doubted that after five years of hard work and dedication to leading the project team, they ended up with such a stupid game that didn't obey orders and was developed blindly.
The purpose of Hejinxing is to live in peace.
The evil male protagonist just loves the evil and vicious female supporting role.
It’s really awesome.
Xiao Zhou: "You can change the name of the game, let the vicious female supporting role be the protagonist, and then just sell it to Koreans. They like this theme very much recently.
Qi Yuan: “…”
That makes sense.
He thought about it, moved the cursor in his hand, and changed the file name in the project folder naming column in despair.
"The Villain Actress: From the Day the Engagement Was Cancelled".
Qi Yuan closed the game cabin operation interface.
Xiao Zhou poked his head out and asked, "So, will we have another round tomorrow?"
"Thank you for the invitation, but no." He Yuan said sincerely, "I still want to live two more years."
