Chapter 20 Producer Interview
[Interview with the producer of "Hanchuang Kudu Simulator": Making games has never been an easy task, and I sincerely thank every player for their support]
"Not long ago, a pixel-style simulation game called "Han Chuang Kudu Simulator" became popular all over the Internet and became one of the best-selling domestic independent games this year!"
"Following "Hanchuang Kushu Simulator", Tianba Game Studio officially released the early access version of its latest work "Reliance Simulator" in July..."
"Why not change the theme? What are the changes in the new game compared to the previous one? What type of game will it be in the future? With the questions that players are most concerned about, we contacted Chen Ba, the producer of "Han Chuang Kudu Simulator", to chat Let’s talk about his views…”
Game Stars moves quickly.
Chen Ba Qianqiu had just finished an online interview, and they released a complete interview press release early the next morning.
It can be seen that the editor who wrote the article must have worked overtime last night.
The interview contained a lot of content. Except for some discussions about "independent games", most of the QA Q\u0026A centered on the two games "Hanchuang Kudu Simulator" and "Living Under the Fence Simulator".
This is also reasonable!
After all, when interviewing Chen Ba, we must talk about the games he made. Otherwise, why would we talk about other people's games?
The content of this interview transcript is almost entirely copied from the WeChat conversation between Chen Ba and the editor of Game Star, without any tampering.
Chen Ba also answered some private questions.
For example...
Q: Why did you choose to enter the gaming industry in the first place?
GameBugs: Interest is definitely the main reason. I like playing games, all kinds of games, so when I was in college, I discussed with my roommates to develop games together in the future.
Q: So do you regret your original decision?
GameBugs: I must have regretted it. After all, it was very uncomfortable at the beginning. I had no money in my pocket and couldn’t find a job. I almost couldn’t even pay the rent...
This interview transcript was released at 7:12 in the morning. By the time Chen Ba saw the transcript, three hours had passed.
Game Star is indeed one of the best stand-alone portals in China. Even during the day on weekdays, the number of visits to the website is not low. This interview has accumulated more than 50 comments.
Pika Pika Sniper: Come on, I hope you will become the light of domestic independent games!
Niu Mo Gongbin [reply]: The lackey is lucky enough to be popular, but it is also the light of domestic independent games. It feels not as good as Pengcheng’s Shatangju Studio!
Jay Chen, a cowherding teacher: The simulator for studying hard in the cold window is quite fun, and you can get your hands on the new game! By the way, will the price increase this time?
Comments were polarizing.
Some players who have played or learned about "Hanchuang Kudu Simulator" expressed support for Tianba Game Studio and encouraged them to continue to make better independent games.
The other part are netizens who have never played or heard of "Hanchuang Kudu Simulator" and express their disdain for the praise of others in the comment area.
It's just an unknown small studio. I've never heard of their games. Is it such an embarrassing thing to brag about? Have all the domestic independent games been released?
In my opinion, it's just a piece of shit!
Whether it's bragging or belittling, Chen Ba had anticipated this scene before being interviewed by the editor of Game Star, and he had no emotions in his heart.
He is not a soft girl, and it is impossible for everyone to like him. Anyway, he only wanted to help "The Survival Simulator" become famous when he was interviewed.
From this point of view, the effect is still very good.
Game Star is a well-known stand-alone portal website. Once their information is released, it will soon be picked up and edited by various self-media marketing accounts, and then spread to the entire network.
This is nothing new.
Marketing accounts are all unscrupulous guys. They don't have the ability to write original articles themselves, and they just wash other people's articles all day long.
The hardest hit area with proper game information!
In just one morning, this interview, which was originally published on Game Star, quickly changed into more than a dozen versions, changed hands through marketing accounts on various platforms, and was seen by countless players.
Then……
The downloads of the two games "Hanchuang Kudu Simulator" and "Living Under the Fence Simulator" have increased!
Among them, "The Survival Simulator" has the largest increase.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that as the second work of Tianba Game Studio, "Simulator" is better than its predecessor in every aspect.
The price is the same anyway, so why not buy a new product that is “way ahead”?
Because Renrenjixia Simulator is still in the early access period, the game is not very complete and is considered a semi-finished game.
Chen Ba was worried that these new players would be dissatisfied after the experience. They felt that there were too many bugs or poor optimization, etc., so he even posted a "note" on the game page.
In early access games, bugs are inevitable. At this time, how to appease players and avoid the collapse of the game's reputation has become the biggest headache for game producers.
Surprisingly, although after the game star interview was released, thousands of players of "Living under the Fence Simulator" instantly poured in, but no one encountered a bug.
Players were pleasantly surprised.
Although it is normal for early access versions to have bugs, who likes bugs? Not encountering bugs is definitely a good thing!
But Chen Ba felt something was wrong.
its not right!
How come there are no bugs?
Not to mention particularly serious bugs, even minor bugs have not been reported by players. I feel that apart from optimization and adaptation, the entire game is flawless.
There is obviously something wrong with this!
It is impossible for a game in the early access stage to be bug-free, even if the core code is generated by the system.
If it is not found now, it only means that the bug is hidden deep.
This is not a good thing!
Considering the progress of the game's development and the approaching expected release date, Chen Ba couldn't sit still.
high pressure! A high voltage test is a must!
If he didn't find a bug, he might not even be able to sleep well at night. This is like having a daughter-in-law who is as beautiful as a fairy, but Xiao Huangmao surnamed Wang lives next door.
Although Xiao Huangmao surnamed Wang is very honest and does his job for the time being, and there is nothing unusual about him, you just don't feel at ease, and you feel worried every day when you leave home to go to work.
Chen Ba has this mentality now.
He doesn't believe that there are no bugs in the game, and he doesn't believe that Xiao Huangmao will always be honest. He must solve this hidden danger before he can go to work with peace of mind and launch the official version of the game with peace of mind.
A set of high-voltage tests is a must.
A glass of beer, 213 glasses of beer, -1 glass of beer, a glass of Coke, a glass of lizard, a glass of foot washing water...even a bowl of fried rice, he would test them all.
Only a sufficiently high-pressure test environment can expose Xiao Huangmao's true nature, and then others can steal everything and send him to Mars to avoid future troubles!
At the same time, he also wants to activate players.
As long as you report a bug to him during the early access stage of "The Survivor Simulator", you will be rewarded with a thousand yuan!
Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.
He didn't believe it. Could it be that the little yellow guy next door named Wang was really an honest person?
