Chapter 59 You should find a few guinea pigs
Chapter 59 You should find a few guinea pigs
Generally speaking, the work progress of the R&D team of the game company will be one version or even two versions faster than the game content played by the players.
For example, if the player is playing version 1.01, then the test server should already be testing the game content of 1.02, the development team should be developing the game content of 1.03, and the development plan of 1.04 has already been put on the agenda.
Of course, this is some games with frequent version updates.
But even for games with infrequent version updates, the development plan of the development team must be at least one version faster than the content currently played by players.
After the game development is completed, of course, it is necessary to quickly enter the next development stage, otherwise the project team will have nothing to do during this period of time?
Therefore, according to Huang Sibo's previous work experience, he feels that it is time to finalize the next stage of research and development plan, which is his job as the main policy executive.
It can't be that Huang Sibo started to arrange the next version when President Pei urged to develop the next version, that would be a serious work mistake.
Bao Xu had no objection to this and raised his hands in favor.
"But the problem now is... I don't know what plan to make, I don't even know how to modify it, and I have no direction." Huang Sibo expressed his troubles.
The new version is nothing more than two parts, one is repair, and the other is improvement.
On the one hand, fix some bugs, loopholes and irrationalities that originally existed in the game; on the other hand, develop new gameplay, new maps, and new content to improve and expand the game itself.
But now the problem Huang Sibo encounters is that "Sea Fortress" itself is already what he and Bao Xu think are perfect. It seems that there are no bugs or design flaws that need to be fixed!
As for developing new content...
To be honest, there is enough content for now.
There is a story mode, a battle mode, and a variety of subdivided gameplays such as biochemical mode, ghost mode, and blasting mode in the battle mode.
There is nothing new to add at the moment!
Before the players are tired of the current game content, is it not enough to spend so much effort on new gameplay and new maps?
Bao Xu is also a little bit pained, this matter is beyond his ability.
Bao Xu is good at playing games.
But for the planning of the game itself, Bao Xu can't do it at all.
"I don't understand this either. Brother Huang, you can watch for yourself. What do you think should be done?" Bao Xu asked.
Huang Sibo thought about it: "I think we should find some core players to experience the game and give us some opinions and suggestions."
"Brother Bao, don't get me wrong. It's not that your suggestion is not enough. It's just that the authorities are obsessed with it. We still have to find as many other players as possible. The larger the sample, the more accurate the data."
Bao Xu didn't care, but nodded, feeling that what Huang Sibo said made sense.
The balance and feel of the previous game were entirely dependent on Bao Xu alone.
When Bao Xu felt that the trajectory of the gun needed to be changed, or which action felt bad, Huang Sibo arranged for the design team to change it immediately.
However, Bao Xu is only one person after all, no matter how powerful he is, he can only represent himself.
The game is aimed at hundreds of thousands of players, who can guarantee that their taste can represent the taste of most players?
Therefore, Huang Sibo felt that it was still necessary to find a group of players to experience the game.
If you pick out the bugs, you can arrange them into the next stage of the version plan to continuously optimize the game.
In this way, Huang Sibo has a clue when he wants to formulate a work plan for the next step.
"I agree, but which players are you going to find? We asked them to help us test the game for no reason, would they be willing? Do they have to pay a fee?" Bao Xu asked.
"Well... that's a problem." Huang Sibo frowned slightly, "Let's think about where to get some mice."
……
Back at his workstation, Huang Sibo was also a little worried.
Indeed, now should be a few guinea pigs, no, it should be a large number of guinea pigs to test the game.
In fact, before a normal game goes online, there should be a public beta for players.
In many cases, no matter how strong the business ability of the test team is, it can't compare with those sand sculpture players with bug physique.
But on the one hand, after the popularization of game editors and faster ESRO review, the development process of many games has become more and more compressed, and the public beta has become dispensable; on the other hand, Mr. Pei has never explained To arrange a public beta, Huang Sibo was asked to put the game on trial.
Therefore, "Sea Fortress" was directly posted on the Internet, and there was no public beta for players at all.
Now Huang Sibo feels that it is necessary to catch a few mice to give comments to the game, but where to catch the mice has become a big problem.
No contacts, no way out!
How about... Ask Mr. Pei for instructions?
inappropriate.
Ask Mr. Pei for instructions on such a simple matter, I can't afford to lose this person!
Huang Sibo repeatedly warned himself: You are now implementing the main policy!
Boss Pei has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, not because he wants you to ask him about every detail like a primary school student, but because he hopes that you can be on your own and properly complete your duties!
For some small matters, it's best to handle them properly by yourself, instead of bothering Mr. Pei all the time.
Besides, Mr. Pei may not have the same thing about catching mice. Although Mr. Pei has great powers, he can't roll up his sleeves to find players to try the game, right?
Therefore, Huang Sibo suppressed the idea of asking Pei Qian for instructions, and decided that it would be better to do this kind of dirty work by himself.
After trying to seek help from Qiandu to no avail, Huang Sibo sent a message within the design team.
"I want to find a group of players to test the game... Who has a connection? It's best to find some fan groups who like to play FPS games, PY with the group owner, and help bring a group of mice over."
"Of course, we have to think about it. It's impossible to give money, but you can give them some limited access firearms in the game."
If you spend money to find someone, you can definitely find it.
But if you spend money, you have to let Boss Pei know.
Huang Sibo felt that there was no need to bother Mr. Pei with this matter, and he couldn't put money in it himself, so he could only give some in-game benefits.
Although it is not very attractive to players, but... it is always better than nothing.
Soon, everyone replied one after another.
Like Huang Sibo, most people have no connections, don't know similar people, and don't have similar player groups.
Xiao Lu suggested that he could search for some "Anti-Terrorist Project" player groups to see if he could successfully blend in, and have a PY wave with the group owner.
But the success rate of this program is not high.
Entering the player group to advertise, let them play other FPS games, but not give enough benefits, I am afraid they will be kicked out on the spot by the group owner.
At this moment, Lin Wan spoke.
"Uh... I have the contact information of several group owners of FPS game enthusiasts. They basically have one or two player groups, and there should be hundreds or thousands of players in the group."
Huang Sibo hurriedly asked: "Can you PY with them? ... Oh, I'm sorry, I mean, let them do a little favor."
Huang Sibo realized that he shouldn't be open-minded in front of the cute girl, so he hurriedly corrected his words.
Lin Wan didn't care about it: "No problem, I know them all well, it's just a matter of a word."
Huang Sibo was a little curious: "How do you know so many FPS game enthusiast group owners?"
This thing is a little unreasonable.
Lin Wan is not a fan of FPS games, and even if she was, there is no reason why she would know the owners of so many FPS game groups at the same time.
Lin Wan explained: "Oh, it's because when I was an intern at Tianhuo Studio, the project team specially recruited a group of core players of FPS games as testers for the development of "Bullet Scar". I was responsible for connecting and contacting them."
