Yan Qi continued to find bugs with the testing team and then submitted them to the development team for modification.
Many bugs have been corrected, but the newly found bugs have not been reduced at all!
I have to say, this situation is indeed very discouraging.
It feels like standing on a broken boat and scooping water out. The more you scoop out, the more water you scoop out!
In other words, Yan Qi is more optimistic and can withstand it.
It stands to reason that after the development of the game "Blade of the Empire" is completed, a small group of players have been arranged to test it. Although there are bugs, it is not so bad that it cannot be played?
As a result, now a bunch of bugs appear inexplicably, as if everything done before was in vain.
It's like doing a math problem, and you're about to find the answer, only to find that you've made up an implicit condition in your head, resulting in a large number of missing steps, and you have to make up for all these steps.
It's hard not to have mental problems when you bear such a blow.
However, Yan Qi feels that there are only so many bugs, and it is better to discover them early than to discover them late. Since the bugs cannot be corrected, then just postpone it. It has been developed for several months, and I don’t mind waiting a few more weeks.
Even as the boss, Yan Qi personally experienced the game repeatedly, submitted new bugs to the development team, and kept an eye on the progress.
After finding a few more bugs, Yan Qi was ready to take a rest.
He turned on his phone and found that someone had invited him to a new group chat.
"Huh? 'Chaolu Game Platform Developer Exchange Group'?"
"...Does this also require setting up a group? Isn't it a bit unnecessary?"
After seeing the group name, Yan Qi felt it was a bit outrageous.
I have never heard of a game platform setting up a special group to include all cooperating game developers!
Because most game companies only focus on their own games and don't care much about the situation of other game companies. The game platform only needs to communicate with the game manufacturers separately, so why create a group to bring everyone in?
However, after Yan Qi thought about it, he felt that it would be okay to join this kind of group, and he could also get to know other companies in the industry.
The person who started the group was obviously a small account, and Yan Qi guessed that he should be one of the employees of Chaolu Game Platform.
His guess was correct. This group was created by Li Yada with a small account. The main reason why he did not open a large account was to prevent leaks.
Yan Qi didn't think much about it, because it is quite common to open a small account at work. Many people separate their work accounts and personal accounts, and use their work accounts exclusively to add business partners.
I took a look at the list of members in this group. So far, there are only a dozen people, but others are still being invited to join.
The group leader of the chat group, whose ID is "Chaolu Platform Staff", spoke first.
"Hello everyone! Thank you for your trust in Chaolu Game Platform. I created this group in the hope that I can share with you some new developments on the platform in a timely manner and strengthen communication. In addition, you can also exchange and share some daily experiences in the group."
"At present, the program of Chaolu Game Platform has basically been developed, and the cloud servers have all been arranged. It is expected to start trial operation before this weekend. For games that have had bugs corrected, you can contact me privately to arrange for them to be launched online. For games that have not been modified, there is no need to
Urgent, after all, it is still in the trial operation stage.”
"Anyway, everyone, come on!"
It was followed by a "work hard" emoji.
Yan Qi was a little surprised. The Chaolu gaming platform was quite efficient.
Due to the technological problems in this world, both game development and other program development are relatively fast, but it is obviously not a particularly easy task to build a game platform in such a short period of time.
It seems that the technical team on the Chaolu Game Platform is also a relatively mature technical team.
In addition, Yan Qi felt quite warm by the act of building a stream.
After all, other game platforms basically don’t chat with developers and only talk about business seriously. Some big platforms are very assertive and often ignore small game companies.
Soon, someone in the group replied.
"Ah, is the trial operation going to start this weekend? It feels like it's impossible for us to fix all the bugs!"
"It's not just that the corrections can't be completed? It's even difficult for us to reproduce those bugs..."
"+1, it's the same situation here, I'm tired of finding bugs!"
As soon as they heard that the trial operation would begin on the weekend, these companies were obviously a little calm.
During the trial operation period, although there will not be too many players, there are few games on the platform, and the online games can basically get good recommendation positions.
Therefore, there are still many benefits to participating in this trial operation.
But the problem is that the bug can never be fixed!
Many companies don't even talk about fixing bugs, they don't even know how to reproduce the bugs that have been triggered. "Fixing all bugs" is easy to say, but if you actually do it, it is probably far away.
Of course, the condition of Chaolu Game Platform is not "fix all bugs", but "Director Tang encounters no more than three bugs in half an hour of playing."
Many game companies have a sense of luck because of this. After fixing a dozen bugs, they come back with the game again. As a result, they are ruthlessly taught by reality.
Many people now highly doubt that the gap between the two conditions "Director Tang encounters no more than three bugs in half an hour of playing" and "fix all bugs" may be much smaller than everyone thinks.
Maybe it doesn't even exist.
It's a good thing that we don't have this group. After joining this group and communicating with everyone, we realized that everyone is the same!
I created a WeChat public account [Book Friends Base Camp] to send out year-end benefits to everyone! You can check it out!
All are plagued by bugs.
Yan Qi silently looked at everyone's chat records, and suddenly realized that the situation he encountered might not be unique.
And...no one seems to have discovered that this building is actually a Feng Shui treasure?
Seeing that these colleagues were all suffering from bugs, Yan Qi felt that he should do something to help them.
Although it cannot reduce bugs, it can speed up the discovery of bugs!
Moreover, this office building seems to have a lot of vacancies, and it would be no problem for a few more companies to move in.
Thinking of this, Yan Qi replied in the group: "If you think it is difficult to reproduce bugs, I have a more metaphysical solution. Just come to the building of Chaolu Game Platform to find bugs. It seems to be a Feng Shui
Treasure land, the probability of finding bugs is greatly increased!"
As soon as Yan Qi's news was sent out, he received a lot of questions.
"?"
"Brother, you are so funny, how can you find a place to find bugs?"
"What's this about metaphysics? You're obviously just lying to yourself..."
"Ah, could it be that a building property owner sneaked into the group?"
"It's broken. It seems there are too many bugs and the pressure to correct them is too great. The children have gone insane and are hallucinating!"
"Brother, believe in science. No matter where you are, the probability of bugs is the same. It's impossible for game developers to not understand such simple probability knowledge, right?"
No one believed it at all.
This was also expected by Yan Qi. After all, what he said was too bizarre. If he hadn't tested it repeatedly and it worked, he himself wouldn't have believed it was true.
"Why did I lie to you?"
"I have moved all the testing team here, you see. [Picture]"
"You can also come and give it a try. Just send two testers to bring their own games. Anyway, there is no loss."
Yan Qi didn't say much. After all, this was indeed metaphysics through and through, and it sometimes worked or didn't work.
Things don't seem to work on weekends.
He just saw that these companies were all suffering from bugs, so he felt compassion and wanted to help them.
If they don't believe it, forget it.
Anyway, these companies can't fix the bugs, the game can't be launched, and it can't hinder him.
"I still think it's nonsense..."
"I'm pretty close here, that's all. Let me go there for a run. If you can't find the bug, you have to treat me to dinner!"
"Well, everyone is in Jingzhou. It would be nice to take this opportunity to meet and get together. Then I will go and have a look."
"Who can send me the location?"
Obviously, most people still think it's nonsense and don't believe it at all.
But after all, these groups are all small companies, and they are all involved in the gaming circle in Jingzhou. It would be good to get to know more people, and maybe they can help each other in the future. So there are a few nearby companies in charge.
After some discussion, we decided to come over again with our own games.
If you can't find a bug, just treat it as a face-to-face interview.
…
Yan Qi stopped looking at the group and continued to look for bugs.
After more than half an hour, the people in charge who were talking in the group arrived one after another.
There were the bosses of the game company here, as well as the game's chief designer and the head of the testing team, who came directly to the address given by Yan Qi.
After greeting each other, Yan Qi led them to the workstation he just rented last week.
The testing team is still busy busy.
"Good guy, Mr. Yan, did you really move the test team here?"
"I don't know what to say."
"Mr. Yan, you don't have to be so superstitious and metaphysical, right? I thought you were just joking before, but now it seems that your problem is much more serious than just joking..."
Although these people are here, they still don't believe that this place can test bugs.
Yan Qi was too lazy to explain: "You will know after you run your own game."
Everyone was doubtful, so they each found a place to sit nearby, then took out their mobile phones and started playing their own games.
At present, most of the games on Chaolu Game Platform are mobile games. Because the threshold for mobile game production is relatively low, and it is now a period of vigorous development of mobile games with many players, making mobile games is the best option for these startups.
Best choice.
Those who are willing to cooperate with Chaolu Game Platform are basically small local game companies in Jingzhou, so they are basically engaged in mobile games.
Representatives of various companies simply do not believe in this metaphysics.
However, after opening their own game and running for a few minutes, their expressions all changed.
From disdain to shock, from shock to surprise, and finally to confusion.
Because they discovered that bugs in the game really appeared frequently!
Even a bug that happened once before and never reappeared again was encountered again!
Although I didn’t deliberately count it, I feel that the probability has obviously increased a lot!
But this feeling of shock and surprise quickly turned into confusion.
Long-standing materialism and scientific concepts are being challenged at this moment...
At first, everyone thought Yan Qi was joking and just told a not-so-funny joke.
After arriving, everyone found that the situation was more serious than that. Yan Qi was not joking, he really thought so and even moved the testing team here!
As a result, everyone began to worry about Yan Qi's mental state.
But now, everyone has discovered that the severity of the situation has completely exceeded their understanding.
Because what Yan Qi said turned out to be true!
Many people still find it difficult to accept this fact. After turning off the game process, they calmed down for a few minutes and then turned on the game experience again.
As a result, I still encountered a bunch of bugs, and they were not the same as the previous bugs!
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, feeling that their three views had been subverted.
"Is there really such a thing as a Feng Shui treasure land?"
"The probability of bugs that have not recurred before is obviously higher here!"
"I'm going to call the person in charge of testing in our company and ask him to bring two tests here for testing!"
"I'm going to find the building's property manager to see if there are any other workstations..."
"Wait a minute, don't worry, everyone. I think in the spirit of science, rigor and serious testing, we should try it on other floors first to find out which floor in this building has the best effect. If there is a floor comparison
If the effect of this floor is better, wouldn’t it be better if we just rent that floor?”
