Chapter 304 Double Rewards, Double Happiness!

[Excuse me, guys, where is the Jiangning Stadium on the map? #萌新求助##阿巴正传##游戏体验#]

[1st floor: There are so many guide posts on the forum, but you didn’t read any of them? Didn’t they say to take bus No. 17? ]

[2nd floor: Let me teach you. If you use a keyboard and mouse, press the M key to open the map, then use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out. See the three words "Stadium" in the lower right corner? Are you blind?]

[3rd floor: Don’t rush to attack the newbies. Maybe the poster has a visual impairment, so he can’t see the map. But it’s not a big problem. Just follow the instructions and take bus No. 17! ]

[Original poster replied: Boss, I got on bus No. 17 and I found the stadium, but... which one is the real bus No. 17 and the real stadium? 「Screenshot.jpg」]

[5th ​​floor: In the game, there is only one stadium on bus 17, how can there be any real... huh? Wait a minute! Where did you get this picture from? ]

The Tianba community, which had been peaceful and calm, was suddenly thrown into chaos by a post asking for help with a game.

Just looking at the title of the post, everyone thought it was another newbie who knew nothing and couldn't even use his eyes to play the game. How come he couldn't even complete a novice mission?

Isn't it enough to just have hands?

But when everyone was speechless and was about to patiently teach the newbie how to take bus No. 17 and how to find the stadium, the poster sent a few screenshots of the game.

Looking at the game screenshots posted by the original poster, the players who participated in the reply fell silent.

A photoshopped picture, right? We were kind enough to teach him how to play a game, but he actually used a photoshopped picture to tease us?

You have a very bad conscience!

"This isn't photoshopped, this is all real. If you don't believe me, I'll record a video for you!"

The poster quickly uploaded a video shot with a mobile phone, from which we can see that what he posted was not a photoshopped picture.

In the video, Liang Xuan pressed the M key to open the map page, and two overlapping and intertwined "super large" maps suddenly appeared on the screen.

There are two stadiums on the map! Not only that, he also ran to the bus stop and recorded a video of two No. 17 buses passing each other.

"???"

All of a sudden, the community was in an uproar.

After being shared and forwarded by a number of replying players, tens of thousands of "Abba's True Story" players flocked to the post, expressing shock and confusion about the situation encountered by the poster.

There are also people who just want to watch the fun and are crazy @Gamebugsing this post, hoping that Brother Ba can come out and explain why this situation occurred.

certainly!

Most of the players who were watching the excitement were very curious. Was this a mirage-like visual display bug, or was it that... there were really two stadiums and two No. 17 buses in the game?

As the original poster, Liang Xuan naturally responded to everyone's request and conducted a test for this special situation.

Turns out, it’s true!

This is not a mirage, nor is it a texture display bug. There are really two No. 17 buses and two identical stadiums in the game.

Why is he so sure? Because he took the bus twice and found that both No. 17 buses can be ridden and interacted with, and both stadiums have NPC Ababa dads, and both dads can be interacted with.

Really abstract!

Liang Xuan first went to one of the two stadiums, found the NPC Ababa Papa, and then completed the novice guidance task and received some rewards.

Then he went to the second stadium at the other end of the map, where there was also an NPC named Ababa, and he could also complete tasks and get rewards.

One mission, completed twice!

When Liang Xuan received two rewards for a novice mission, the players could no longer sit still and asked Liang Xuan how he had triggered the bug.

This is so cool!

One task can actually be completed by clicking on two buttons at two locations, from two NPCs, and then two rewards can be obtained?

Good guy...

Could it be that everyone is playing a pirated version of "The Legend of Abba", while Liang Xuan is playing the authentic version?

This is simply blatant cheating!

You know, doubling the mission rewards is too outrageous for the game "Abba's Story". Because the rewards given by the mission are very important for the subsequent growth of the protagonist Abba.

Why is "The Story of Abba" difficult?

On the one hand, the difficulty is reflected in the physical defects of the protagonist Aba, such as visual impairment, hearing impairment, language impairment and movement impairment, etc., which often torture players during the game.

On the other hand, the difficulty of the game is also reflected in the numerical system in the game.

What is the story of "The Story of Aba"? The disabled protagonist Aba overcame numerous difficulties, worked hard to improve himself, and finally reached the pinnacle of life through struggle.

In the game, every mission reward obtained from completing a mission will help Aba realize his dream faster.

What does it mean to double the rewards? The game that was originally at the "hell" level of difficulty suddenly became at the "easy" level.

With double rewards, as long as the protagonist Aba has a clearer mindset, he can win easily. He can get whatever he wants and do any work with twice the result with half the effort. He is definitely the man of destiny.

But having said that.

The double reward is indeed enviable, but Liang Xuan, who achieved this, doesn’t even know how it happened.

Netizens asked him how he triggered the bug and what he could do to make two stadiums and two No. 17 buses appear on the map, but Liang Xuan couldn't explain it at all.

How could he know! He was playing the game normally, but the map area suddenly doubled, and it was not just a false doubling in terms of visuals, but a real doubling in terms of game content.

This is so surprising.

Liang Xuan could only guess that the reason why he encountered such a special situation was probably related to the first save file he played.

But here comes the problem again...

He had already deleted the first save file, and the record was overwritten by the new save file. Now he couldn't find it back. What should he do? Should he delete the save file again? ...

Chen Ba, who was far away at Tianba's headquarters in Jiangning, was unaware of Liang Xuan's distress.

Because at this moment, he is communicating with the game media representatives and game producer representatives of the TGA review committee over the phone, hoping that they will support the game "Abba's True Story" in the upcoming TGA annual game selection.

Everything has basically been settled.

The subject matter of "Abba's Story" is too dominant, and this year is a slow year for gaming. Apart from a few mediocre sequel games, there has been no super-hit 3A blockbuster that can threaten "Abba's Story".

in other words.

Even if you don't vote for "Abba's Story", there is not much choice for this year's TGA Game of the Year. After all, the industry is in recession, so you can only pick the tallest one from the short ones.

When Tianba Studio spent a huge amount of money to create and launch "Abba's True Story" to compete for the Game of the Year Award, almost all the judges raised their hands and feet in approval.

Is there any need to choose? Except for "Abba's Story", which barely meets the 3A standard, other games cannot even meet the basic 3A standard. How can they be qualified to compete on the same stage?

certainly!

For everyone, awarding the annual award to "Abba's Story" is a helpless choice.

Because everyone with a discerning eye knows that the genre of Tianba Studio's game is too dominant. Even if they are reluctant, they have to grit their teeth and vote for "Abba's Story". "This wave is a sure thing!"

After learning that "The Story of Abba" has a high probability of being nominated for Game of the Year, Chen Ba immediately breathed a sigh of relief and revealed a relaxed smile.

Just nominate!

Being nominated means there is hope of winning an award, and the hope is very high. After all, this year is different from previous years and the competitors are really not good.

But having said that.

There is still some time before the TGA annual game awards ceremony, and it is not too early to open the champagne before the trophy is actually in hand.

During this period of time, we can create momentum and promote "Abba's Story"! Don't get me wrong! He is not talking about promoting the content of the game, nor is he promoting it for the purpose of "seeking sales."

The publicity he mentioned refers to promoting the positive energy of "Abba's True Story", promoting the positive significance of this game, and promoting the charity and public welfare behind it.

Take the moral high ground first!

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It doesn’t matter how many copies of the game are sold. What’s important is to make everyone realize that "Abba's True Story" is a public welfare game of extraordinary significance, great social responsibility and humanistic care, and full of positive energy.

Just when Chen Ba was planning to build up his reputation by using the gimmick of "donating all proceeds from Aba's original story", Xiao Lu walked in hurriedly.

"Brother Ba, something bad has happened!"

"What's wrong?"

Chen Ba said calmly: "Don't panic when something happens. You are already this old, why are you still as impatient as a young boy?"

"It's urgent!"

"You asked me to keep an eye on the latest developments of Abba's Story. A game bug appeared on the second day after its release. I must report this to you..."

"What? Game bug?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ba's expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and he frowned and asked, "What kind of bug is it? Is it serious?"

"have no idea!"

Xiao Lu shook his head and said, "I reported this bug as soon as I found it. As for whether it's serious or not... it's hard to judge!"

Hard to judge?

What kind of game bug is it that even a senior game planner like Xiao Lu has trouble diagnosing?

Chen Ba had a vague feeling of foreboding, because he had experienced this kind of thing many times, almost every time he released a new game, he had to experience it once.

Could it be that...

After taking a sip of water, Xiao Lu slowly told his discovery, as well as the help post from the player who provided clues and reported the game bug.

After reading the entire post published by Liang Xuan in Tianba Community, Chen Ba was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What do you mean? Why don't I understand it?"

"It means that this player encountered a problem where the game map expanded abnormally, and there were duplicate NPCs, duplicate buildings, and duplicate modeling in the game."

"repeat?"

Chen Ba pondered the word, then frowned and said, "You mean, this is not a display problem, but in some sense, the game content has doubled?"

"right!"

Xiao Lu nodded.

If the situation Liang Xuan encountered was just a simple display bug, it would be fine, but it was not a display error, but the actual appearance of repeated game NPCs and game buildings.

This scene is so weird.

It feels like when you are making a game and building a game scene map, because of an error, you copy and paste the game scene you just built a second time.

Little-known fact: game scenes are made up of stacking blocks, and they are not necessarily independent scenes.

Give me an example!

I believe many people have played the famous "Teamfight Tactics". In this game, players can purchase chess pieces with different bonds and upgrade their stars, and then let them fight on a chessboard.

OK!

The game scene of Teamfight Tactics is actually just a chessboard. As for what is outside the chessboard? Do you think there is anything? The answer is yes!

Outside your chessboard, in the seemingly chaotic and empty space, other players' chessboards are floating. The distance between them is not particularly far, and they are even very close.

When a player moves from one chessboard to another, or when all players participate in a draft to get equipment, it seems that the game scene has been switched, but in fact it is just an "instant movement" on the modeled map.

The same is true for "The Story of Abba".

In some cases, it may seem that the game scene has switched, but in fact you are still on the map, only the XYZ axis coordinates have changed.

For example, entering a room.

When the player interacts with the "door" in the game and enters another room, the game will briefly load with a black screen, and then switch to the scene inside the house after a while.

You thought you changed the map?

No, no, no! You are actually still on the original map, but your current three-dimensional spatial coordinates are about 200 meters "directly above your head" from your original position.

That’s right!

If you look at a game from a developer's perspective, you will find a roadside cafe with a "cafe interior" scene structure suspended 200 meters in the air.

The screen goes black the moment the player opens the door, which is actually giving the character the opportunity to "take the elevator" and instantly move to an airborne position.

Why does the "air wall" exist? Why should the traveler come back to explore the place in front of him later? Of course, it is because once the player can pass through the air wall, it will be a bit difficult. Because the game world he sees may become extremely funny and abstract.

It is based on this development logic that when Chen Ba learned about the game bug, the first thing he thought of was that there was a problem with the "scene" construction.

Two stadiums and two No. 17 buses would definitely not appear under normal circumstances.

But what if some "garbage" was left floating in the void when the game scene was constructed, and then this part of the garbage suddenly appeared in the game scene? "Unlikely!"

Xiao Lu shook his head and denied it. “There are indeed some abandoned plans and waste parts in these scene modeling, but they were completely cleared out when they were completed. It is impossible for such a thing to happen.”

A game scene may generate garbage during the construction process, but it will be cleaned up when everyone moves in.

If it’s not garbage, then what is it?

Chen Ba was a little confused. If this was not the case, why would there be exactly the same modeling in the same game scene? Even the NPCs were the same? (End of this chapter)
