When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay

"Gu Fan, we will start preparations for the next game immediately!"

Lilith was very angry, but it was obvious that she could not do anything no matter how angry she was at this time. She could only turn her grief into strength and develop the next game as soon as possible.

After all, as long as the next game can collect as much negativity as Hellraiser, then everything is possible.

Gu Fan nodded quickly: "No problem, Mr. Li. You just need to speak out your ideas boldly, and I will definitely find ways to help you realize it!"

Lilith thought for a moment: "Well, let's make another reskin game of "Lemurs from Hell".

"Since such a simple and rubbish game can indeed collect a large amount of negative emotional points, why bother designing it?"

Gu Fan couldn't help being surprised: "Mr. Li, think twice! This is obviously not possible!"

Lilith narrowed her eyes: "Why not?"

Gu Fan quickly explained earnestly: "Because this kind of routine can only be played once!

“Haven’t you heard the story of the boy who cried wolf?

"The reason why "The Hellboy" is able to collect so many negative emotions is entirely the result of the right time, place and people working together.

"But the players have already participated in the septic tank butterfly swimming competition once, how can they do it again?

“We Nitiantian have managed to accumulate a good reputation, and the next game is when we need to find ways to monetize this reputation and earn a lot of negative emotions.

"If we make a reskinned game of "Legends of Hell", not only will we not gain negative emotions, but our reputation will also collapse, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

"I think we can just let Azazel do this kind of thing. When the time comes, we will directly earn negative emotion points from him, and there is no need for you, Mr. Li, to take action yourself."

Lilith thought for a while: "Well... that seems to be the case.

"Then, it's up to you to design the next game!"

Gu Fan was stunned for a moment: "Ah? I'll do it?"

Lilith nodded: "Yes, you come."

Happiness came so suddenly that it was hard for Gu Fan to accept it for a while.

You know, before, Lilith was guarding against him as much as she was guarding against thieves. Not to mention asking Gu Fan to come up with a design plan, she wasn't even allowed to make any suggestions.

Later, as Lilith gradually trusted Gu Fan and her own ideas became less and less, she began to allow Gu Fan to speak freely and provide some inspiration during the brainstorming session.

But this time, due to Gu Fan's outstanding performance in the battle for "Hell Evil Demons" and Lilith's own lack of inspiration, can he finally be allowed to come up with a design plan?

Gu Fan was quite moved.

However, Lilith changed the subject: "But I want to make a few requirements, and your design plan must be met.

"And, after your design plan is completed, I will personally check it. You'd better not have some small ideas, otherwise..."

Gu Fan nodded: "Of course, I have always been a person who understands current affairs."

Obviously, as a suspicious hell demon, no matter what Lilith said, she never completely let go of her doubts about Gu Fan.

Letting Gu Fan design the game this time is both an opportunity and a trial.

Crisis and opportunity coexist. At times like this, we must not get carried away and walk on thin ice.

Lilith thought about it carefully and then raised three fingers.

"First, this new game must have a lot of bugs! Well... at least 100 bugs!"

This first item directly gave Gu Fanlei a crispy texture on the outside and tender on the inside.

"Ah? Mr. Li, can you say it again?"

Lilith repeated it seriously: "I said this game must have at least 100 bugs."

Gu Fan was puzzled: "Why??"

Lilith said seriously: "Because I found that the bugs in the game seemed to be endless. In the past, I always wanted to find all the bugs and fix them, but in the end, I found all the bugs that affected the experience. Even though it was fixed, the bug that generated positive emotions remained every time!

"Then why spend so much time fixing bugs? It's totally meaningless!

“So, let’s not fix the bugs this time. Except for the extremely serious bugs that will cause our game to be removed from the shelves, we will not fix the other bugs if we can!

“This can be said to kill two birds with one stone:

"On the one hand, there are many bugs in the game, which affects the players' experience, and they will naturally have negative emotions; on the other hand, because there are too many bugs, even if there is a major bug in the game that can change the gameplay, it will only Like a drop of water falling into the ocean, the players can’t find it at all!”

Lilith put her hands on her hips triumphantly, obviously very confident in her genius idea.

Gu Fan couldn't help but stand in awe. He was indeed the number one producer in Hell. Lilith's reverse thinking was quite powerful!

And to a certain extent, this did hit Gu Fan's Achilles' heel.

Because Gu Fan still wants to maintain Ni Tiantang's good reputation as much as possible.

Are there any games that have a lot of bugs but are also popular?

Yes, but it is basically impossible to have a good reputation.

Gu Fan has only seen two types of this kind of game: one is that the game itself is of high quality and large enough, so even if there are some bugs, players can barely tolerate it, but the reputation will not be good.

The other is a spoof. When the game is full of bugs and the bugs become program effects, players can play it with a more relaxed attitude. However, this kind of game can only be said to be a joke, and it cannot become a classic game. .

A game with a lot of bugs and still being a god?

Gu Fan had indeed never heard of it.

You can't just brainwash all players and force them to think that these 100 BUGs are not BUGs, right?

He was silent for a moment and struggled symbolically: "But the current official game editor is quite stable and has many mature templates. I'm afraid it won't be able to make up for so many bugs.

"You can't deliberately not use templates just to make 100 bugs, right? That's too weird.

"And that would seriously slow down development."

Lilith chuckled: "That's your problem. In short, I want 100 bugs, and the development progress cannot be delayed."

The corners of Gu Fan's mouth twitched slightly: "彳庍..."

Damn Party A!

Lilith continued: "Second, I don't want to do a Western fantasy theme this time, so I want to change the painting style."

Gu Fan was surprised again: "Why?

"It's a professional counterpart to Western fantasy themes, why don't you do it?"

Lilith sighed: "It's just because it fits so well!

“I thought about it carefully and realized that there would be two problems if we continue to work on Western fantasy themes.

"The first is that the graphics of the game are too good. If we want to create negative emotions for players, we don't need such good graphics at all!"

Gu Fan quickly interrupted her: "Mr. Li, I disagree with this.

"Although the ultimate purpose of our game is to collect negative emotions, after all, the gameplay is relatively discouraging. We need to use the graphics to trick players into it as much as possible and let them stay for a longer period of time, so that the negative emotions generated will be more valuable."

Lilith nodded: "Of course I know this!

"Didn't I always think like this before?

"But the situation is different now. Our games are always successful and the reputation is so good. We need to lower the picture quality to offset it!"

Gu Fan choked twice, but he didn't think of a way to continue to refute, so he could only nod: "Okay... there's nothing wrong with it."

Lilith continued: "The second problem with Western fantasy themes is that they are too recognisable!

"We are in the East, and Western fantasy itself is a niche genre. There are not many companies doing it. We keep releasing it, and players keep paying attention... This is not good.

"What if we want to change companies and run away in the future? We have to try other themes in advance, and we can't let players recognize it at a glance."

The corner of Gu Fan's mouth twitched slightly: "Mr. Li is really... farsighted."

Lilith took two steps in the living room: "As for the third point... I hope this is an action game, and the higher the difficulty, the better!

"Since our company has never made an action game before, I wanted to give it a try."

Gu Fan knew very well that Lilith said "I want to try it", but in fact it was all deliberate.

Why make action games?

The reason is simple, this kind of game has a high threshold!

Only a few top studios around the world can play action games, and other small companies can only make one after another.

Because there are too many details in action games, such as action design, skill impact, sound effects, skill effects... they are basically all different.

Every place is a little different, and the final result is that it is impossible to play.

In addition, this request can be combined with Lilith's first request to form a combo!

Lilith mandates that this game must have 100 bugs. An action game has 100 bugs? That means there is no hope!

Gu Fan's expression was a little complicated: "Mr. Li, your demands are too high. I'm afraid I won't be able to meet the requirements..."
