Zhou Xing'er walked out of the office with a blushing face, and met Li Jiana's eyes. He couldn't help but panic, took three steps at a time, and left in a hurry.
Li Jiana couldn't help but reveal a profound expression on her face. Could it be... But in such a short period of time, there shouldn't be any in-depth exchanges. After all, Li Jiana knew very well whether there was enough time.
Perhaps because she has been there, Li Jiana's thoughts can't help but wander in that direction, especially in the office... it's the easiest place to put it into words.
Well, literally.
At this moment, Brandon Green, who was slightly depressed, appeared in front of Li Jiana. It was not difficult to see that he had been up all night again last night.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng, the boss, can just pat his butt and go home to sleep, but he, as a game producer, cannot do that. At the very least, he has to know where the problem lies and give his boss an explanation.
Fortunately, after working overtime all night and communicating with the technical team at the pig factory, neither party found any fatal flaws in the game itself, including the feedback from the players.
And when it was finally discovered that "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" had some configuration issues, the result was somewhat beyond Brandon Green's expectations.
After all, for Brandon Green, who is accustomed to the buyout market mentality, for a group of players who are willing to spend money on games, the basic condition of computer configuration is naturally not too bad.
Compared with the stringent configuration requirements of some top 3A masterpieces in the buyout market, the configuration requirements of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" are already very ordinary.
Without the layer of screening of the buyout system, coupled with Zhou Dongsheng's exhaustive publicity campaign, a large amount of popularity and traffic poured in, and this irrelevant issue was exposed.
But obviously, it is impossible to blame this kind of problem on the players. At least for Brandon Green, it is not good to blame the problem on the general environment. It is just a change of direction and admitting that one's own abilities are not good enough.
This is why they have been busy all night. If they find a problem, they will naturally have to solve it. The next step is obviously to make targeted optimizations to make this game suitable for the player market as much as possible.
Especially under the free model tone set by Zhou Dongsheng, if there is not enough popularity and player audience, even if paid content is launched, players may not be willing to pay...
Although changing the game to a buyout system again is a solution, if you say this, it doesn't put the responsibility on the boss, and it is worse than saying that it is the boss's problem.
How could the boss have a problem, how could the boss make a mistake, so Brandon Green could only choose to settle for the next best thing.
Although the operational matters should be handled by Pig Factory, it is natural that he, as a biological father, would not be concerned about this masterpiece, which he has high hopes for.
He reported his intention to Li Jiana and then knocked on Zhou Dongsheng's office door.
"Come in, oh, my old friend is here? Look at you like this, and you haven't slept all night? This is not possible. According to our old Chinese saying, the body is the capital of the revolution. If the body is broken, who will let this project go?
Responsible?"
When Zhou Dongsheng saw Brandon Green's depressed appearance, he couldn't help being "shocked" and was criticized. Brandon Green thought his boss was furious.
After Li Jiana's polished translation, the little old man couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. How could this boss care so much about his subordinates' health?
"Thank you for your concern, boss. I can't sleep even if the matter is not resolved. After I report to you, I will go back to sleep immediately and won't let myself fall at work," Brandon Green said.
"I understand your concerns, but running a game is a long-term matter. The outcome cannot be determined overnight. If you want to achieve such an achievement as League of Legends, you must fight a protracted battle."
Zhou Dongsheng joked with a smile, and Brandon Green nodded in agreement, while telling the conclusion that Zhou Dongsheng had known for a long time, and also said that he was preparing a targeted optimization solution.
It is also very simple to cater to the configuration needs of free players. We can launch a smooth mode in a targeted manner and sacrifice a little bit of image quality to ensure that players can smoothly experience the core competitive gameplay of the game.
As long as the fairness of the competition can be ensured, things like picture quality are just icing on the cake for players. Having them is naturally the best. If not, just being able to play will be fine.
After all, they are here just for competition, and what they enjoy is the competitive process of competing with other players in a battle of wits and courage, and not just to enjoy the scenery.
Zhou Dongsheng is also aware of this, and there is nothing wrong with Brandon Green's plan. In the future, as long as the hardware is iteratively upgraded and the software experience is continuously upgraded, it will be enough.
Just like the rudimentary maps and rough hero modeling of the early League of Legends, it still does not affect players' enjoyment of the game.
On the contrary, the emergence of something that shakes the fairness of competition is a fatal threat to a competitive game, and can even directly destroy a competitive game.
For example, with the emergence of plug-ins, no competitive game can escape the shadow of plug-ins. After all, this thing is a product that complements the game.
As long as there is demand and as long as the game still exists, it is impossible for this cheat to disappear.
However, this issue is not something Zhou Dongsheng needs to consider right now. In the industry, Tengda is probably the most famous in terms of anti-cheating, and Pig Factory may not be that big of a move, but it is still even worse.
Not only for plug-ins, but also for professional studios. The most typical one is undoubtedly the game "Fantasy Westward Journey".
Therefore, with the pig factory as the backing, Zhou Dongsheng does not need to worry about this gangrene for the time being. On the contrary, if the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" cannot reach the heights of its previous life, maybe other cheating teams will not bother to target you.
"Old man, there is nothing wrong with your plan. With you as the 'Father of Battle Royale' in charge, I believe that time will prove the excellence of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds". Gold will shine no matter where it is.
but……"
Zhou Dongsheng first praised Brandon Green profusely, and the little foreigner couldn't help but smile. The boss was indeed his confidant.
"However, I also want you to develop a set of targeted viewing functions. It is best to have an overview of the overall situation, including switching perspectives and other functions..."
Zhou Dongsheng roughly explained the spectating system in his memory of the "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" game. After all, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has just been released to the public beta, and even the death replay has not been made yet, so naturally the spectating system is not yet available.
"Boss, isn't this function the God's perspective of our game developers? If the boss wants, he can give you a permission..."
Brendan Greene said a little taken for granted, thinking that the boss, a veteran battle royale player, was going to get addicted to God Mode.
"No, no, no, my old friend, we need to take a longer view. How can a competitive game as good as ours lack e-sports content? I plan to create an event around this game next year...
…”
"So, let me say hello to you in advance. There is no rush to use this thing, but it must be done well." Zhou Dongsheng said enthusiastically.
Brandon Green was a little confused, wondering if he was a little lost after staying up for two nights. It was only the second day of the open beta, and the boss was already preparing to hold an e-sports event?
This is such a big step, aren't you afraid of breaking your balls?
