Chapter 253 Dehua's Week
Three days later,
The list of participants for the [Extreme Fault Tolerance Challenge] has just been announced, and the cumulative number of registered people has reached seventy-two.
The group chat has been filled with messages about recruiting people, finding teammates, and privately sending messages for cooperation for a long time.
"This is crazy, this time we're really going to have a fight!"
"Luckily, it's an internal competition. Otherwise, Jingyue would have invested 100 million in the project. Who wouldn't be jealous of this opportunity?"
"I have a feeling there will be more people attending the negative review training class in the future!"
"Pull people in, pull people in, pull people in! Who's lacking art? Who's lacking programming?"
The group chat messages flashed frequently, and all kinds of posts about finding teammates, snatching people, and coming up with ideas were flooding the screen.
Even the usually most silent lecturers and teaching assistants came out to secretly inquire about the situation, hoping to take the opportunity to get some information.
Behind this boiling wave, in a rental house in the suburbs of Shanghai.
There was a young man in a plaid shirt, staring at the computer screen in a daze.
His name is Tang Ce.
28 years old, former member of the content department of Beishan Interactive.
Participated in the design of the "Xiantu" Baiyi sub-profession,
He was also one of the people who took the blame and was scolded by the whole network.
Among all these insults, eighty percent of the blame was finally put on Tang Ce.
On the day he resigned, he walked out of the Beishan gate alone carrying his bag, and didn't even dare to ask the HR to see him off.
Because I really don’t know what to say to comfort you.
But Tang Ce himself was calm.
You can scold him all you want, he is just a scapegoat.
After leaving the job, in the Fu'an Experience Hall,
He learned about the "bad review training class" launched by Jingyue.
At first it was out of curiosity,
Which company would seriously organize a “bad review training class”?
But after attending a few classes, he really found it interesting.
Especially the idea:
"Making games isn't about avoiding criticism, but about how to spread criticism."
He felt that this was only slightly different from his original failed project.
It's not that the content is insufficient, but the timing, the stance, and the comparison with Jingyue are wrong...
This class is really interesting!
Therefore, he immediately chose to join the third negative review training class!
Moreover, I attended classes for a long time and was even praised by Mr. Zhou.
The other party even took the initiative to invite him to join Jingyue.
However, Tang Ce had just resigned from Beishan.
Join Whale Leap now.
He felt a little uneasy. It was like being an undercover agent, not very comfortable.
on the other hand,
He still has something in his mind that he hasn't figured out.
He wanted to do something on his own, to prove something.
"Brother, have you thought it through?"
Next to Tang Ce, a young man wearing glasses and looking quite gentle was drinking Coke while reading his draft.
My name is Huang Chi, a member of the third training class.
I worked as a UED in school before, and I have strong UI design and good logical ability. We have a good relationship in class.
The two of them got along very well these past few days and simply hit it off and formed a two-person team.
Therefore, Huang Chi came this time specifically to ask Tang Ce's opinion.
"I see everyone's working on tactical competitive games, PvP, brawl, asymmetric... pretty standard."
"Didn't you say that the prize for this competition is so great, should we find another teammate?"
"No need. The more people there are, the more chaos there is. We only have less than a month to develop it. The two of us are enough!"
"Also, based on my understanding of the training class, this game is likely to be different from any we've participated in before!"
"We must find a way to play that meets the requirements of the negative review theory!"
Tang Ce stared intently at a sentence on the computer screen.
That’s a screenshot of notes from the Bad Review Training Class:
"A game that successfully manipulates people isn't the one that gets criticized the most, but the one that continues to spread even after being criticized."
He watched for a full thirty seconds.
He didn't move or speak, as if the screen contained something he had missed but always wanted to grasp.
…
Before the Baiyi sub-profession of "Xiantu" was launched, he was full of confidence.
He adjusted the values until the early morning every day, held meetings and debates for hours, wrote seven versions of the copy himself, and personally tested the system.
As a result, within a week, forums, Tieba, Yinlang, and Zhanyou all exploded.
"A prime example of a scammer who cheats you out of your hard work and money!"
"Another masterpiece from the casual backstab player!"
"Beishan is using his secondary job to feed the shit again!"
"Chopping leeks to a new level!"
"Are you making a labor camp simulator here?"
After that, the "Xiantu" project team dared not say a word and could only quietly downgrade the rights and weaken the copies.
It was finally deleted in the new expansion.
Although, that time I was influenced by the Whale Leap game,
But he actually always believed that the "Xiantu" project team should not make changes!
That's absolutely true.
Although the Baiyi system became popular due to being criticized after it was launched, it was also one of the modules with the fastest user growth.
The problem is…companies don’t want to admit it.
You care too much about the players' feelings!
But now, he understands.
A game that can be attacked by group emotions is not necessarily a failure.
soon,
With an idea in mind, Tang Ce picked up a pen and started writing and drawing to apply the theory he had just understood.
Beside him, Huang Chi did not make any noise to interrupt.
A few minutes later,
Tang Ce looked down at the rough draft in front of him, which was covered with arrows, annotations, and corrections, with a tired look in his eyes.
But I couldn't hide my excitement.
He shoved the manuscript in front of Huang Chi with a snap: "I got it."
"Look at this."
Huang Chi was stunned, and quickly sat up straight, picked up the Coke bottle but didn't dare to drink it.
He knew Tang Ce.
I don’t talk much usually, but once I start writing, I really have complete ideas.
"What direction?"
He asked tentatively.
Tang Ce didn't say anything, but pointed at the notebook handed to him.
In the center of the first page, a few large characters were written:
"Dehua's Week"
"…What is this?"
"Dehua?"
"Our new teammate?"
"No! This is a professional babysitter!"
Tang Ce's tone was steady, but his eyes were burning.
Huang Chi's pupils shrank.
"Taking care of the baby?"
"You mean... raising a child?"
"Brother, don't you still have a girlfriend?"
"…Are you crazy?"
"Not crazy."
Tang Ce said seriously, "I am serious."
"Didn't you say everyone's playing competitive games? PVP, PvE, asymmetric... they're all traditionally considered competitive games!"
"But have you ever thought that the most difficult confrontation is actually a battle between people?"
"Like... taking care of a baby."
"And it's not the kind of raising a child at the maximum level, it's starting from the Novice Village."
"That age between six months and two years old, which even dogs hate."
Tang Ce sat up straight and spoke faster.
"Look, the setting of my game is this: your name is Dehua, and now you need to take care of a baby at home alone, who is at a stage that even dogs dislike!"
"Even dogs hate it?"
Huang Chi was confused. The setting of this kind of game was a bit beyond his scope. He had no experience at all!
"That's right! It's that age between six months and two years old, when they can't eat or sleep well, can walk but can't listen, can cry but can't talk, you have to comfort them if they fall, you have to guess if they're hungry, and you have to fight them if they're sick."
"And you..."
"As a babysitter hired by the child's parents, you need to stay in a house with this child for a week!"
"During this period, the baby's [Health Value] and [Mood Value] can reach a maximum score of 100, but if either value falls below 30, a ghostly howling event will be triggered."
"If it's lower than 0, the game fails!"
