This is not a BUG, ​​this is a game feature

Chapter 7 It’s really hard to hold back your stubbornness
"...At the request of the viewers, in the last video, I reviewed several party games suitable for multiplayer online play. So in this issue, I will recommend several simulation games that have received rave reviews."

"First of all, the first one, Hanchuang Kudu Simulator! This game has been very popular recently. I believe you have seen videos made by other UP creators..."

"The game only has the standard version, without any DLC, and the price is only 18 yuan. Interested friends can buy it. Anyway, Gubao has already bought it and let the cows go for three days..."

"Herding cows...ah no, Han Chuang is studying hard in the simulator. I get a perfect score of [-]. How many points would you give me?"

The video was played loudly, and Chen Ba was sitting very close, so he knew what video Wang Kun was watching without looking at him.

"Okay, don't look!"

After picking up the bottle opener given by the boss and skillfully opening a bottle and handing it to Wang Kun, Chen Ba said speechlessly: "Where did you find all these videos?"

“Big data recommendation!”

"Maybe it's because I've been searching for videos about the Hanchuang Kudu Simulator these days, so the home page is all about this category."

Wang Kun chuckled: "Don't tell me, you didn't search for these videos to satisfy your curiosity. There are no videos of this type on your homepage?"

"That's really not..."

Chen Ba is very dedicated. The videos that big data intelligently recommends to him are all of various ladies with long legs and short skirts. From this, it can be seen that big data really understands him.

What does it mean to accurately identify users?
It's not that he, as a game author, doesn't pay attention to the situation of his own game, but his focus is obviously not the same thing as Wang Kun's focus.

He pays more attention to the comments and messages from real players in the game comment area. He will also log in to the developer account to answer some questions about the game in the game community.

Especially bad reviews...

"Huh? There are still negative reviews?!"

Wang Kun, who had just stuffed a bunch of roasted corn into his mouth, blinked and asked, "Why did he give a negative review? Are you still not satisfied with a game like this for 18 yuan?"

"It's not about pricing."

Chen Ba shook his head.

[Hanchuang Kudu Simulator] There are not many bad reviews in the comment area, but there are dozens of them, and among these dozens of bad reviews, there is no player who feels that 18 yuan is not worth it.

Most of the negative reviews came from Chen Ba's "Update Announcement".

[You still don’t admit that there is a bug in the game?I like your tough talk, but if you don't fix the bug, take the bad review! 】

[I worked so hard to clear the level all night, and the achievements I got can’t keep up with someone who hung up and herded cattle all night?Hot chicken game! 】

[When will we admit that there is a bug in the cattle herding incident, and when will we change the praise...]

"So many negative reviews? Then why didn't you listen to these people's suggestions and fix that bug?" Wang Kun asked.

"How much? I don't think so."

When Chen Ba heard this, his expression immediately became unbearable. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Most of the thousands of comments and comments are positive, and they also advised me not to fix the bug. What do you think I should do?"

This question is too good to choose.

Compared with the number of negative reviews, the number of players with positive reviews is significantly higher, dozens of times more.

The most important thing is that most players have watched Qian Duoduo’s video and found this bug very interesting, and advised the game author to keep it.

As he insisted in the update announcement, this is not a bug, but a hidden game mechanism: talent is far more important than hard work!
Therefore, Chen Ba's choice is simple.

He replied to almost every negative review message: "I'm sorry to bring you a bad game experience, but the problem you reported is not a bug, but a game mechanism..."

"Hahaha!"

Wang Kun laughed so much that his stomach hurt.

As a good friend of Chen Ba and the first player to play this game, there is no doubt that it must be a bug after three years of herding cattle.

Precisely because he knew about this, he found his good brother's harsh words really unbearable.The players who left negative reviews were probably almost furious when they received this reply from Brother Ba, right?
"It really is……"

Chen Ba looked a little embarrassed and said: "Someone criticized me directly, saying that only my mouth is the toughest in my body, and they also said that they would hate me for the rest of their lives."

This is not the most outrageous.

The most outrageous thing is that a certain "hardcore" player directly made an analysis video, analyzing from various angles whether the story of "shepherding cows and becoming the top scorer in the high school entrance examination" is a bug, in order to refute the game of Chen Ba The producer’s harsh words.

Well, his argument was successful!
After watching the video, most people understood that Chen Ba was indeed being harsh and this was a game bug.

but……

After his video was released, he attracted a large number of new players to [Hanchuang Kudu Simulator].

After all, netizens think this bug is so fun. After watching the video, they want to try it out. They can’t stop it.

"We have to thank him!"

Chen Ba grinned and said, "I wish I could get a few more black fans like this to advertise for me for free and save a lot of promotion fees."

"Pfft! Cough-cough-cough..."

Wang Kun, who was drinking, burst out laughing on the spot and almost choked on his beer: "You are so cheap!"

Could it be that this is the so-called one black man with ten fans?

After teasing the boss about the negative reviews of the game and asking the boss to grill ten more skewers of mutton, Wang Kun wiped his mouth with a napkin and asked: "By the way, your game is so popular, aren't you considering releasing some DLC?"

"No!"

Picking up a bunch of roasted kidneys, Chen Ba shook his head and denied: "This kind of game is almost a one-time deal. Let's wait until the next game to consider the DLC."

Not all games are suitable for DLC, at least Hanchuang Kudu Simulator is not suitable. Unless a "high school level" content is added to the game, what else can DLC be sold for?
Give the old scalper in the protagonist's family a new set of clothes and transform into a terrifying bull demon, so that players can feel more happy when herding cattle?

Pull it down!

Chen Ba felt that the DLC, which had no game content and was purely a scam, was too low-level, and not many people would buy it.

The players who play stand-alone games are far less motivated to spend money than the players who play mobile games. If you expect them to pay for such spicy content, forget it.

"Next game?"

Wang Kun caught the key words in Chen Ba's words and said slightly excitedly: "You have a new game? What type? Can I try it out?"

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet. The new game has not been started yet. I will definitely notify you as soon as I finish it."

After drinking all the beer in the paper cup, Chen Ba patiently explained.

He already has an idea for the next game.

The success of Hanchuang's hard-study simulator gave him the idea of ​​"strike while the iron is hot". While the popularity of the previous game was still good, he quickly launched a second simulator mini-game to consolidate the existing fan base.

As for the subject matter, he only had a general idea.

The most praised part of Hanchuang Kudu Simulator is probably the realistic portrayal of the characters and the touching and inspirational plot.

Then make another simulation game with a similar style and plot.

This time, I will put more effort into the plot, try to make it more touching and inspirational, and deceive the players more little pearls.

At the same time, this time he will also learn from the lessons of [Hanchuang Kudu Simulator] and put more thought into the game testing process, so that he will not repeat the same mistakes again and have outrageous bugs like "the number one scholar in three years."

After all, if you insist on not admitting that there is a bug, you can do it once, so how can you keep insisting on it every time?
