Bao Xu looked at Pei Qian's office: "Is Mr. Pei here?"
"No, I haven't been here for the past two days," Lu Mingliang said.
For Lu Mingliang, the dubbing has been completed.
I started recording on the 25th of last month and finished it intermittently on the 1st of this month. It’s not very efficient, but it’s still okay.
After all, Lu Mingliang is not a professional dubbing actor. Even if there is a dubbing teacher nearby to guide him, he often has to NG dozens of times in the beginning before he is satisfied.
Now that the dubbing is complete, we can go all out to make the game.
"Brother Bao, I have sent you all the design documents of the new game. Can you see what else needs to be changed?"
Lu Mingliang still respected Bao Xu very much.
After all, Bao Xu is the creative source of "Sea Fortress". The whole company has the ability to figure out President Pei's intentions. Bao Xu said he was second, but no one dared to say he was first!
Bao Xu opened the document and browsed it for a while.
"It's all decided by Mr. Pei himself, so I won't read it. You may not be able to understand it just by looking at it."
Game design is something that is quite taboo against random modifications.
Everyone has their own opinions, and in many cases there is no absolute right or wrong. The key is that one person has the final say, and it cannot be mixed up.
When Bao Xu heard that it was a project that Mr. Pei personally took charge of, he couldn't be wrong.
Just watch and study hard and that's it. How can you find faults?
This is exactly what Pei Qian had planned.
The game has already been developed, and there is no way that Bao Xu will interfere even if he comes back.
Bao Xu couldn't get involved at work, so he would just play games.
In this way, the probability of success of the new game becomes even smaller.
Plan passes!
…
Sure enough, it was just as Pei Qian expected.
Bao Xu flipped through the design draft and looked at the work status of others. He felt that the new game did not require his help.
So, he turned on the computer and started playing "Sea Fortress".
I haven’t played much games for a month, but I’m exhausted!
As the saying goes, a little separation is better than a new marriage.
Bao Xu felt that the company was a paradise and he didn’t want to go anywhere!
While playing around, Bao Xu felt that there was something wrong.
The feel doesn't seem that perfect?
A month ago, Bao Xu felt that the feel of "Sea Fortress" was already perfect.
But when I played it again after a month, I had a new feeling.
"I just have nothing to do, so let's optimize "Ghost General" and "Sea Fortress" a little bit."
…
Bao Xu randomly took a notebook, played with it, and recorded the content to be changed.
Since the release of "Ghost General" and "Sea Fortress", not even a new version has been updated.
Don’t the players have any opinions?
Of course!
But... Pei Qian can't hear it either, so just pretend it's not happening!
Nearly four months have passed since the release of "Ghost General", and one month has passed since the release of "Sea Fortress".
Some game manufacturers that update relatively quickly release a new version every month.
If the time is longer, a new version will be released every three months, which is fine.
However, the game is obviously still making money, is not low in popularity, and makes a lot of money, but it has not had any updates for four months, which is unique!
Pei Qian doesn't want to update the version at all.
Because these two games are a bit too popular!
Look at the lifetime card sales of "Ghost General", and then look at the fire unicorn sales of "Sea Fortress"...
According to the requirements of the system, when a new version is released, new payment points must be derived. You cannot throw money into it without making a profit.
Pei Qian made some calculations and felt that there was a new payment point, and players were going to spend money again!
Therefore, I have been pretending that nothing happened and just focused on developing new games.
Not updating can greatly reduce the popularity of the game!
The rest of the R&D team were so busy making Game Maker that they naturally had no time to care about these two old games that were operating stably.
but……
Bao Xu just had nothing to do!
If you can’t play new games, then try your best to modify old games.
Bao Xu first carefully adjusted the feel of "Sea Fortress".
Then, he opened "Ghost General" again.
Relatively speaking, the problem of "Ghost General" is actually much bigger than that of "Sea Fortress"!
Because "Sea Fortress" was created by Huang Sibo and a group of designers, after repeated testing, the design is relatively mature.
As for "Ghost General", it was completely copied by Pei Qian using a ready-made template!
Many of the texts in it are quite detailed and were written seriously (and made up) by Ma Yang.
However, the battle system and some basic functions inevitably have some minor flaws, because the template Pei Qian bought was a failed project. There may not be bugs, but there is a lot of room for optimization of the functions.
Of course, this impact is not huge.
After all, it is a mobile game, and the players’ requirements are not that high. It’s not that it cannot be played, so I can make do with it.
Bao Xu played it for a while and felt that there were many small problems that could be fixed.
Then just change it!
Soon, Bao Xu's little notebook was filled with modification items.
There is no new game content to be produced, so it does not count as an updated version. At best, it can be regarded as optimization and repair.
Bao Xu looked at his little notebook.
"Well, it should be corrected within about three or four days."
“Easy to do!”
…
Three days later.
The forum of "Ghost General".
Compared with some popular mobile game forums, the layout here seems a bit messy.
Because there is no official management here!
For games like "Q Meng Three Kingdoms", the official will cooperate with Tieba, airborne bar owners and small bar owners, and staff will regularly post discussions.
But there is none of that in "Ghost General"!
It's completely free-range.
There were people who ran for the post, but they were all very Buddhist. They just deleted any illegal posts they saw and the advertising posts.
However, because there are more members, it is quite lively.
A month or two ago, various complaint posts began to appear in the "Ghost General" forum, and recently, there seem to be more such complaint posts.
“Can the version be updated???”
"It's been a long time since I graduated...I've almost drawn all the rare cards. Can anyone tell me what else is there to play in this game..."
"I envy "Q Meng Three Kingdoms". It updates the version every two months, and they are all in the middle and late stages..."
"It's so annoying. Other games at least have long-term goals and can be recharged. But this game is better and you can't even recharge! What should I do if I find that I don't seem to have anything to pursue!"
"This is the first time I have seen such a Buddhist company. It stands to reason that "Ghost General" ranks very high on the rankings and should make a lot of money. Why is it not updating the version?"
"I don't expect you to come up with new gameplay. You can come up with a new general or a new krypton gold point!"
Many players who have not played "Ghost General" will have an illusion when entering this forum.
Did I enter the wrong bar?
This is not what a game forum should look like!
Like the "Q Meng Three Kingdoms" post bar, there are posts every day criticizing the game developers, designers, and event planners.
Activities are a waste of money!
The new content is not sincere!
I haven't seen posts like this for a day, and I wonder if the Tieba forum has collapsed.
As a result, when I look at "Ghost General", everything is reversed!
Players are looking forward to it one by one, hoping that "Ghost General" will quickly open a new payment point!
Players even discussed in a serious way what kind of new payment point should be opened.
The most common suggestion is to sell new generals packs.
There are also some other suggestions, such as opening some recharge activities with a low upper limit. For example, you can get some special materials by recharging a minimum of 1 yuan and a maximum of 50 yuan.
This kind of situation where players are eagerly waiting for the official to add recharge points, but the official completely ignores it, can only happen in "Ghost General"!
