When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay

Back in Gu Fan's villa, Lilith happily sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, feeling very satisfied with her wise arrangement.

Now that the design of "Road Rage Simulator" has been basically finalized, Lilith feels full of confidence again. This game will definitely avenge its past and gain a lot of negative emotions!

Regarding Gu Fan's arrangement, Lilith also believed that it was a genius decision.

Although she refuted what Azazel said face to face, showing her absolute trust in Gu Fan, how could it be her true words?

In fact, as a suspicious devil, she would still be suspicious even if Azazel didn't mention it.

Now, Lilith has given an optimal solution to the current situation.

Since there are always problems in the game industry that Gu Fan is responsible for, whether it is his problem or not, they have to be replaced.

Gu Fan has done a good job in plundering the negative emotions on the Hell Front, so let him continue to do it; in addition, let him randomly engage in new industries to get rid of him.

It’s good if new industries can generate negative emotions, but it’s not a big problem if they can’t.

The important thing is to temporarily let Gu Fan leave the game industry and verify whether it is his problem.

"How about it, Gu Fan, have you figured out what to do?"

Of course, Lilith did not forget to show concern for Gu Fan, as if she really sent him out to develop new business from the perspective of company development.

Gu Fan nodded: "Although it hasn't been completely decided yet, there are roughly two directions."

Lilith listened carefully: "Tell me about it?"

Gu Fan thought for a while: "The first direction is naturally directly related to our next game. Creating a set of peripherals for "Road Rage Simulator" is directly related to the game, so the game development funds will be included. It's also very reasonable.

"The second direction is to open a physical experience store to further promote our company's games and products."

Lilith thought thoughtfully: "Oh... gaming peripherals?

"Okay, since it's a racing game, let's make the controller and steering wheel!

"Hey, if these two devices are done well, they should be able to collect some negative emotions!"

Lilith was actually looking forward to it.

Gu Fan was a little surprised: "Huh? Can peripherals also collect negative emotions?"

Lilith coughed twice: "Of course! Games can collect negative emotions, why can't peripherals? However, this is also the latest research and development result of Hell. It is still in the testing stage. Whether it is useful or not... we have to continue to study it based on the actual situation. .

"But in general, the principles are the same."

Lilith did not elaborate on the specific principle, but Gu Fan also knew that it must have used "contract" just like the game.

Nitian's game is equivalent to directly signing a contract with the player, and then all the negative emotions generated by the player during use can be collected by Hell.

Similarly, if Nitian Games releases some peripheral products, after the player's purchase is completed, it will naturally be regarded as signing a contract. Then if players develop negative emotions while using these products, they can also be collected by hell.

Even broadly speaking…

If Nitiantian Games opens an amusement park in the future, and players generate negative emotions in it, can they also collect it?

That doesn't sound impossible.

However, according to Lilith, this technology is obviously still under development and needs continuous improvement. Currently, it has only been extended from games to general products.

But let’s put it this way…

Gu Fan was a little helpless: "So Mr. Li, you asked me to develop new business so that I can verify the latest research results of hell, right? Can't you complete your homework independently?"

Lilith coughed twice: "Ahem, Gu Fan, what you said is wrong. Didn't you already say that you would shed your blood for hell? I am an investor in Nitiantian Games, and you are Nitiantian As the president of the game, you can’t escape the blame for developing new business!”

Gu Fan corrected him with some helplessness: "It's hard to blame anyone. Mr. Li, you should relearn Chinese again. That's called doing your duty, no one else but me."

Lilith nodded: "Yes! I will do my part, no one else but you."

Gu Fan added: "But... Mr. Li said at that time that I could decide on my own what industry to choose. Then, can I choose some industries that bring happiness to everyone?"

Lilith smiled: "No!

“You can indeed decide for yourself which industry to choose, but you cannot decide for yourself whether to collect negative emotions.

"Besides, isn't it your choice to be in the peripheral industry?"

Gu Fan was speechless for a moment. It is true that arrogance is the nature of a devil.

Lilith has already begun to think about how to use peripherals to collect negative emotions: "Hey, thinking about it, peripherals have a lot of potential!

“Take the controller as an example, and the mental harm a rubbish controller can bring to players is no less than a rubbish game!

“Furthermore, the handle itself is an ergonomic device with a high technical content. A slight deviation can easily make players feel uncomfortable...

"In this way, making hardware can also collect a lot of negative emotions!"

Gu Fan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Sure enough, Lilith would never change her gender. She was planning to go all the way to the dark side in terms of collecting negative emotions!

And indeed, as she said, using peripherals to collect negative emotions is even easier than using games to collect negative emotions!

why?

On the surface, using games to collect negative emotions does have many unique advantages. The biggest advantage is that it is convenient and fast.

A game can be played by tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of players at the same time. If each player generates a little negative emotion, the accumulation is a considerable number.

As for peripheral or physical industries, before they become bigger, the number of people they can influence is very limited.

Take peripherals as an example. In the initial trial, a few thousand sets will be produced at most. If it is some relatively high-value peripherals, a few hundred sets may be produced at most.

This is why Lilith decided to start in the gaming industry from the very beginning.

But now the situation has changed, and the game industry has repeatedly suffered setbacks in collecting negative emotions!

What about peripherals? Although it targets a relatively narrow group of people, if everyone can produce negative emotions stably, it can be considered a pretty good industry for Lilith.

But for Gu Fan, this was very bad.

Because his goal from the beginning was to make money and gain reputation!

Now that Nitiantian Games has finally got on the right track, it’s asking me to use peripherals to ruin all my reputation and lose all my money? That's absolutely not possible!

Thinking of this, Gu Fan said: "Mr. Li, I think your idea... is a little bit ill-considered."

"Huh?" Lilith frowned slightly and immediately looked at Gu Fan suspiciously.

The meaning is clear: How can it be thoughtless to collect negative emotions? What are your intentions!

Gu Fan quickly explained: "Mr. Li, what I mean is that your idea of ​​using peripheral products to collect negative emotions is indeed a direction that can be tried.

"But... your method doesn't seem to be 100% safe!"

Lilith was puzzled: "Why isn't it 100% safe? If you make a garbage handle, you can almost 100% collect negative emotions, right?"

Gu Fan shook his head slightly: "No, Mr. Li, think about it carefully. If those garbage controllers really generate more negative emotions, then why have domestic controllers not only not disappeared over the years, but have become better and better?"

Lilith was stunned: "Ah this..."

Gu Fan's words simply woke up the dreamer and made Lilith, who had been immersed in negative emotions just now, wake up instantly.

Do garbage handles necessarily generate more negative emotions? Not necessarily!

Compared with the handles made by the three major foreign manufacturers, there is indeed a big gap between these domestic handles. After all, Yusanjia's R\u0026D expenditures on controllers are astronomical, and domestic controllers are difficult to compare with.

There is a big gap in terms of grip, button and joystick feel.

There are even some handles that are of poor quality and really painful to use.

But these controller manufacturers still survived, and even survived well. Why?

Of course because of the price and all the new features!

Controllers from big manufacturers often cost around 400 yuan, and elite controllers cost over a thousand yuan. The price of these domestic handles is quite cheap, and the lowest one can even be bought for about 100 yuan.

In addition, domestic controllers have basically launched a variety of new functions, such as back keys or macro commands, etc., but foreign manufacturers rarely do these. Back keys are only available on elite controllers that cost thousands of dollars. Not to mention macro commands, almost all of them are not supported.

Of course, this has something to do with the preferences of domestic and foreign players and the positioning of manufacturers, but in any case, domestic controllers have still found their own living space.

Even if a domestic controller is not as easy to use as the Yusanjia controller, it is durable, can perform basic functions, has back keys and macro commands, and most importantly, is cheap!

So when players use it, do they generate more positive emotions or more negative emotions?

Obviously, there are still more positive emotions.

And if Nitian Games only negotiates cooperation with a domestic controller manufacturer and releases a jointly-branded controller, it may be difficult to collect more negative emotions.

Lilith was a little curious: "Do you have a better way?"

Gu Fan nodded: "Yes, Mr. Li.

"I think that if you really want to collect negative emotions, you can't make traditional peripherals. Like controllers, keyboards, steering wheels, etc., if they are just OEM or reskinned, the effect of generating negative emotions will be very limited.

"We'd better figure out how to make a new peripheral that can better collect negative emotions!"

Lilith was quite moved: "That's it, Gu Fan, it's my fault, I wrongly blamed you!

"So what kind of new peripherals should we make? In addition to the keyboard, mouse, and steering wheel, I really can't think of any other peripherals that can be related to "Road Rage Simulator"."

Gu Fan confidently said: "Mr. Li, it's very simple. I want to make a peripheral product that perfectly combines the shortcomings of the handle and steering wheel!"
