Chapter 353 You’re so noisy!
At the same time,
Lu Ming sat in the office, his head buzzing as if someone had hit him on the back of the head with a stick.
He had just finished watching the live broadcast of the game and had no time to react. He only had two outrageous thoughts in his mind:
Good news, all the bugs have been exposed!
Bad news, all the bugs have become mechanisms!
When BUGs are discovered one by one,
Lu Ming was excited at first, after all, BUGs are always an indispensable part of the game!
This will definitely affect the fairness of the game!
However, until the players used the BUG,
After the audience discussed the mechanism, he lost his composure!
At this time, Lu Ming felt like an archaeological team had unearthed a treasure.
As a result, the treasure was put into a museum as an exhibit and a sign was affixed with it saying "Relics of the Previous Dynasty".
But the problem is, this thing was made by him just last week! It's all in simplified Chinese characters!
Lu Ming's expression looked a little strange.
Is it... just... such a coincidence?
He has done good deeds and accumulated virtue in his life and has never done anything wrong!
Should I be favored like this?
He recalled those bugs that should have made players shout "outrageous" and "fix it quickly",
What's the result?
No impact on game balance.
Instead, it increases the fun and competitiveness!
It also makes the game more entertaining!
This is very embarrassing.
He absolutely, positively, must have picked that bug at random.
That is to say, I picked a few from each camp.
How could such an outrageous thing happen?
He, Lu Ming, is clearly a freshwater fish in the ocean of game development!
How come I can travel so freely?
His original thought process of leaving these bugs is very clear:
Let the players experience the "complaints", they will definitely complain after the game goes online. The harsher the complaints, the higher the popularity and the more negative reviews there will be!
Now...
Player: Look, this is depth!
Lu Ming: ???
He stared at the long analysis of the forum comments and almost wanted to rush over and wake them up one by one. This is a BUG! It's a BUG!
He even suspected that the players had too much imagination and managed to make a table of scrambled eggs taste like "Michelin-level cuisine".
But, there is no way to change this thing now!
This is a full live broadcast!
The game is over!
The people are all happy to see it!
Now he comes out and says it's a BUG,
Who would believe that!
People in the comments have said that players are the ones who understand games the best, so who is he?
If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have used BUGs to create bad reviews. I’m worried every day!
Just when I was feeling depressed, the cell phone rang.
Zhao Qiliang called.
Lu Ming sighed and picked up the phone: "Hello."
There was a burst of excited noise from the other side.
"Boss Lu! Just one hour after the competition ended, the download volume of our game 'The Imperial Decree of the Ming Dynasty' has reached a new high!"
"Look at all the buzz online! Players are all discussing these mechanics! Now I understand you're hiding your true achievements!"
"What merit and fame?"
There was a sense of helplessness in Lu Ming's tone, as if to say, "Don't praise me randomly."
Zhao Qiliang was on the other end of the phone, looking very excited.
"Mr. Lu, I know you don't distrust our newly formed team!"
"Those bugs you picked out were actually guiding us!"
"You deliberately left these hidden gameplay elements in the game, waiting to reveal them all at once during the competition! This wave, the popularity, the viewing experience, and the player favorability are all maxed out!"
“…”
Lu Ming was silent.
"Mr. Lu, I've learned something! A true game developer must not only be able to develop, but also be able to market!
You're letting the players do your promotion! All the mechanics were exposed in one game, and they're being studied like treasures. That's incredible!"
"We at Beiming have just been established and what we lack is popularity. This time, Mr. Lu, you have instantly boosted our popularity!"
"Furthermore, we've created a phenomenal product! We even have the potential to develop esports competitions!"
"Mr. Lu, you really think too far ahead for us Bei Ming!"
“…”
Lu Ming listened and couldn't tell whether he wanted to laugh or sigh.
He knew very well that this was not the original intention.
But what Zhao Qiliang said was not wrong.
The current "Great Ming Imperial Edict" is in an extremely healthy state.
Four camps, four ways of playing, each with its own highlights.
There is no absolutely unsolvable routine, but there is depth worth exploring.
This state is more attractive to people than a version that is balanced to death.
Zhao Qiliang was on the other end of the phone, chattering non-stop.
"Mr. Lu, look at it now. Players are teaching and researching each other. Forums are flooded with hundreds of new tactics posts every day, and video platforms are flooded with all sorts of mechanic tutorials and highlights. It's all just tap water! The cost is practically zero!"
"More importantly..."
"You're letting the players maintain the game's popularity for you! You don't even have to push updates. Just make some small balance adjustments now and then, and the game's popularity will never drop!"
“…”
As Lu Ming listened, there were only two words in his mind - it's over.
You are so noisy, Zhao Qiliang!
Lu Ming rubbed his temples.
He knew in his heart that this was just a coincidence.
But from an outsider's perspective, this is the precise and in-depth design of Whale Leap.
But even though he was depressed, sometimes he had to admit that
Sometimes, luck works better than planning.
And the most important thing now is that there is no time!
He glanced down at the project schedule on the desk, his eyes fixed instantly.
After the finals, there are only a dozen days left until the settlement in mid-April!
This means that he must start plan B as soon as possible, otherwise his investment will be completely wasted.
"Song Pulse Thousand Lamps" is about to be launched!
Lu Ming's eyes flashed.
If "The Imperial Decree of the Ming Dynasty" is a passionate game and a passionate resonance,
Then "Song Pulse Thousand Lamps" is like a knife in the long flow, cutting the players' emotions one by one.
As a free online mobile game,
Lu Ming also has high expectations for this game!
First of all, as a free mobile game, this game is bound to be very popular!
Now there are so many good reviews for "The Imperial Decree of the Ming Dynasty", overwhelmingly,
Only this kind of free mobile game with relatively simple rules can withstand this wave of impact!
Coupled with his unique hereditary point setting,
As soon as you go online,
Players are unhappy with the card drawing and grinding.
Bad reviews in a short period of time can quickly bring down your reputation!
After all, for players, they will definitely not have a deep filter for you just because you have released a good game before.
It’s necessary to scold when it’s necessary!
Therefore, now that "The Imperial Decree of the Ming Dynasty" has completely deviated from the norm and become "a deep work in the eyes of players",
Then he no longer counts on it to create mood swings.
Plan B: "Song Pulse Thousand Lamps" must be put into the battlefield immediately.
Thinking of this, Lu Ming took out his cell phone and called Zhou Bowen.
After a brief inquiry and communication,
Lu Ming jumps straight to the topic,
"Bowen, 'Song Pulse Thousand Lamps' will be online in two days. Are there any problems on your end?"
"Two days later?!"
"Boss Lu, there's no problem here. Our team has been prepared for this!"
"good!"
"Just be prepared!"
Soon, Zhou Bowen, who received instructions from President Lu, immediately released the news on the official Weibo of "Songmai Qiandeng".
【Whale Leap Game·Player Feedback Special Event】
