When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay

February 10th, Monday.

Last weekend, Nitiantian's business transformation work was smoothly arranged, and all subsequent work was quickly on track.

In terms of the main game business, Zhou Yang and Wei Chengjie took over Mr. Gu's banner and began to quickly complete the detailed design draft of "Road Rage Simulator" in accordance with Lilith's requirements and formulate a work plan, which is expected to be completed within three months. Completed in about time.

As for the new business to be developed, Gu Fan also started to be busy.

He first finalized the location and found a three-story street shop between the North Third Ring Road and the North Fourth Ring Road in the imperial capital as the first experience store of Nitiantian Games.

It is next to the Line 10 subway station, with the Heritage Park to the south and the shopping park to the north. It is also very close to the National Olympic Sports Center, Ethnographic Museum, shopping malls and hotels within walking distance.

A little further away, there are universities such as the University of Foreign Economics and Trade, the University of Chemical Technology, and the United University.

The transportation is convenient, the nearby environment is not bad, and the flow of people is relatively dense. There are many residential areas and universities. It is quite suitable as the location of the first experience store.

To get to this experience store from Nitiantian's current office, you need to transfer from the Xijiao Line to Line 10 by subway, which takes about 50 minutes.

This time would be quite unacceptable in other cities, but in the Imperial Capital it can only be said to be a normal commuting time.

If you look at it from the map, the West Suburban Line and Line 10 are exactly in a straight line. There are basically no detours and only one transfer is required. Therefore, this location can barely be considered "relatively close".

Lilith said that she could not spare Gu Fan from the pain of commuting, so she very generously spent her own money to buy Gu Fan a suite in a nearby five-star hotel for him to live in.

But Gu Fan knew her actual purpose very well.

Obviously, Lilith hopes that Gu Fan can stay away from Nitiantian's current office and not affect the development of new games as much as possible!

Naturally, Gu Fan would not point it out.

After finalizing the location, Gu Fan immediately arranged the decoration. He has come up with a decoration plan himself, which will surely surprise the players after it is completed.

In addition, for the co-branded peripherals of "Road Rage Simulator", Gu Fan also contacted domestic hardware manufacturers immediately.

There are three types of co-branded peripherals this time, namely conventional controllers, conventional keyboards, and unconventional controller steering wheels.

Regarding the controller, Gu Fan found one of the better controller manufacturers in China, Zhitong Controller.

This controller manufacturer has accounted for more than 40% of the domestic market share, even surpassing the three major foreign controller manufacturers. Of course, this does not mean that the quality of Zhitong handles is enough to overwhelm major foreign manufacturers, but simply because the various models of Zhitong handles basically cover all price ranges and are very popular in the low-end market.

However, in recent years, Zhitong controllers have also begun to move towards high-end products. The flagship controller has reached a price of about 550 yuan, which is basically the same as the price of major foreign manufacturers.

But even so, the flagship model of Zhitong controller is selling well.

This is because the Zhitong handle can apply some new technologies earlier, such as Hall triggers, Hall rockers, optical axis buttons, intelligent refresh rate adjustment, replaceable button modules, 4 back keys + 2 additional shoulder keys, AI and macro Command functions and so on.

These rich functions give Zhitong's flagship controller a certain comparative advantage at the same price point as Yu's three major controller manufacturers.

Although there is still a certain gap with foreign handle manufacturers in terms of detailed feel, it is already a new force that cannot be ignored in the domestic market.

Gu Fan has already roughly provided his needs to the relevant personnel at Zhitong, and has made an appointment to discuss in detail the specific configuration of the joint-branded handle and the detailed plan for the miniature steering wheel handle in two days.

Co-branded handles are easy to say. Gu Fan can just choose one of the handle models currently produced by Zhitong, and then change the pattern of the handle shell.

However, the miniature steering wheel handle has never appeared in Zhitong's products before. How to implement it requires in-depth communication and long-term planning.

As for the steering wheel, Gu Fan chose Suzhao, one of the top direct-drive steering wheel brands in China.

There are many different solutions for steering wheels. Originally, for price reasons, there were also other solutions such as gears and belts. However, in recent years, with the demise of domestic manufacturers, the market for direct-drive steering wheels has become more and more popular, and the prices have become more and more expensive. Low.

Considering that the direct-drive steering wheel is significantly ahead in experience, there is no point in considering other solutions.

Gu Fan also made an appointment with the relevant person in charge of the Suzhao steering wheel to finalize the specific design of this joint steering wheel.

Gu Fan didn't have many requirements for basic functions, but he just hoped to launch an additional small operation panel.

This panel is roughly the same size as a one-handed keyboard. There are some buttons on it to simulate various function buttons on the vehicle dashboard.

After all, in the game "Road Rage Simulator", players need to perform various in-car operations and also need to get out of the car to save others, and these operations require the use of specific buttons to complete.

Of course, players can also choose to use their own keyboard and mouse directly, but considering that a whole keyboard is a bit inconvenient, and players have to follow the key prompts to find various functions, which is a bit inconvenient, so Gu Fan also hopes to launch such a This operation panel has buttons on it that directly indicate each operation, allowing players to understand it at a glance.

In this way, all the work was smoothly arranged, and the game Against Heaven quickly entered the next stage.

…

At 7pm, near a large amusement park on the East Fourth Ring Road.

Lilith came to the door of a haunted house called "Purgatory Devil's Cave" and pushed open the door in a familiar manner.

Sitting at the front desk is the proprietress of this haunted house, her name is Qin Fengliang. She looks to be in her twenties, has long, straight black hair, and looks like a royal sister.

However, there were obviously no guests in the haunted house at this time, and she looked listless. She was eating melon seeds and watching TV shows, which greatly weakened the scary atmosphere of the haunted house.

When he heard someone entering, Qin Fengliang didn't even raise his head: "The ticket is 30, scan the QR code to pay and get the ticket."

After waiting for a moment and finding that the other party was silent, Qin Fengliang raised his head and said in surprise: "Huh? Mr. Li! What brought you here! Sorry, today is Monday and there are no guests, so I..."

Lilith waved her hand very magnanimously: "It doesn't matter. I have already said that you can watch dramas during working hours. It doesn't matter. As my confidant, you have this privilege!"

Qin Fengliang was quite moved: "Mr. Li, please sit down quickly. Do you have any instructions for coming this time?"

Lilith sat down on the sofa next to her and shook her head slightly: "The condition of the haunted house is very good. Keep it up. I don't have any instructions! But... I have something and I want to get some advice from you."

Qin Fengliang nodded quickly: "No problem, Mr. Li, just say it's okay!"

The "Purgatory Devil's Cave" haunted house is a successful investment project of the Hell Negative Emotion Collection Office, and Lilith has always regarded Qin Fengliang as her loyal minister.

Looking back in hindsight, the "Purgatory" haunted house has almost all the success factors.

First of all, it is located near the largest amusement park in the imperial capital. Since the amusement park has a very large number of visitors, the "Purgatory Devil's Cave" haunted house will be full if just a few tourists are missed.

The interior decoration of the haunted house in "Purgatory's Cave" is also an idea given by Lilith. However, this haunted house cannot be said to be particularly scary, it can only be said to be average.

At this point, some disputes broke out between Lilith and Qin Fengliang.

Lilith’s idea is to directly maximize the horror level of the haunted house!

But Qin Fengliang disagrees with this view. She believes that doing so will only be counterproductive and collect less negative emotions.

Because if a haunted house is too scary, it will directly discourage ordinary tourists and instead attract those avid horror lovers. Although these people will be frightened, they will also burst out with a lot of positive emotions after the fright, which is not worth the gain.

Qin Fengliang's plan is to just build a very ordinary haunted house. The scene is not big or complicated, and there are no particularly scary parts. The only highlight is the purgatory-style decoration style.

Lilith was surprised at first. It wasn't scary. How could she collect negative emotions?

But soon, after the operation of this haunted house, it really provided a lot of negative emotions steadily.

Afterwards, it was found that Qin Fengliang's idea was completely correct.

For those avid horror enthusiasts, this haunted house is not scary at all and will feel boring after experiencing it; while for ordinary tourists who read the reviews and said it was not scary, they were forcibly pulled in by their friends and were immediately frightened to tears.

Both groups contributed considerable amounts of negative emotions!

Although this has caused the reputation of the haunted house to plummet and its revenue to decline year by year, after all, it is located next to the amusement park and has too many visitors, so even if it is a one-time deal, it can continue to operate stably.

It is precisely for this reason that Qin Fengliang suddenly became Lilith's minister and was highly trusted!

Considering that the daily operations of the haunted house have stabilized, in order to prevent Qin Fengliang's intelligence from being wasted, Lilith came to visit again, hoping to make her his think tank and continue to make suggestions for him!
