Chapter 74 Solid gold trophy!
Soon, "Fire Thief" entered an intensive development state.
The development time of this game is tentatively set at two months, with another half month of testing time reserved.
If you only look at the game functions, "Fire Thief" is the most difficult game developed by Nitiantian Studio.
This construction system alone would take at least half a year if it were developed entirely by oneself.
But fortunately, construction games are a relatively mainstream game category, and there are many related templates on the official platform.
After careful selection, Gu Fan chose the most expensive simulation construction game template currently, priced at as high as 750,000!
Although the price is high, it is also worth every penny.
This set of templates is very powerful, allowing players to change various voxels in the construction at will, accurate to every small square, and even carve out some special buildings by hand just like "Minecraft".
For example, Chinese-style Dougong architecture, or even sculptures of different styles, etc.
Of course, the specific shape of what can be built depends on the level of the players.
However, even if these templates are applied, the game "Fire Thief" still needs to produce a lot of content, and the two-month development time is still quite tight.
However, there is no dissatisfaction among the employees at Nitiantian Games. Many people even feel that the development progress is too slow and it can be faster!
They can’t wait for the new game to come online and get double bonuses!
Feng Hui even wanted to move the camp bed from home to build a floor in the company. It seemed that he was determined to win the first level of the next bonus.
But Gu Fan still stopped him.
The main reason is that the cafes are not open at night, and they are not allowed to stay up all night!
Later, Feng Hui found a way. He directly moved his laptop home to write code!
Many times when Gu Fan turned on his computer on a whim at night before going to bed, he would see Feng Hui or Zhao Haiquan submitting new code. When I count the progress of the project every morning, there are always some surprises.
And this kind of overtime work is not the same as the overtime work in ordinary companies.
In general, overtime work in general companies is basically a waste of labor, and the actual output efficiency of employees is not much higher than that of normal commuting.
However, all overtime work at Nitiantian Games is truly voluntary and effective overtime work by employees. Coupled with the blessing of work attitude, the development progress has indeed been greatly improved compared to "The Legend of Destiny Wolong"!
After all, who doesn’t want to be like Zhao Haiquan and get a bonus of 188,000 yuan directly!
Many Internet companies strictly prohibit the exchange of salary information among employees. The reason is also very simple, because most of these companies have "salary inversion". Once employees communicate with each other about salary information, it is likely to cause the resignation of some old employees.
But Nitian Game does not have these problems at all. Salaries are basically open and transparent and will not be deliberately concealed.
So everyone clearly realizes that they are shareholders rather than employees of Nitiantian Games.
After all, a specific proportion of dividends can be paid out every month based on the company's actual revenue. What is this but a shareholder?
At this time, all the employees of Nitiantian Games have only one idea, and that is to shed their blood for Mr. Gu!
Of course, everyone also raised some objections to this design draft. For example, it is obviously a survival and construction game, but it does not allow players to build freely at all? No matter how you look at it, this is a setting that has been kicked in the head by a donkey!
But regarding this, Gu Fan still had the same attitude as before: don't explain, just figure it out yourself!
Anyway, this design draft is given to you, not for your comments, but for you to follow it.
In this way, with all the staff working hard, the development progress of "Fire Thief" is very optimistic, and it may even be completed ahead of schedule!
…
…
September 1st, Sunday, 7pm.
An hour later, at 8 o'clock tonight, "The Fire Thief" will be officially released!
Compared with the original plan of "two months for development and two weeks for testing", the actual development progress is much more optimistic, shortening the development time by half a month.
Of course, not a single day was spared during the two weeks required for testing.
For many game companies, this is simply a fantasy.
Even if programmers are forced to work crazy overtime, it would be good if the program is not delayed. How can it be advanced?
But the development progress of Nitian Game is so incredible!
Gu Fan has prepared various snacks, potato chips and drinks in advance and placed them in the living room.
If this game can continue to be popular, it will almost be time to move on to another place to live!
Sure enough, the rare BOSS Lilith was refreshed at five minutes past seven o'clock.
She was very satisfied when she saw the mountain of snacks and drinks on the small table in front of her. She lay down on the massage chair with ease, took the remote control from Gu Fan, and turned on the live broadcast software of the projector.
As soon as I opened it, I entered the Chen Tingquan live broadcast room by default where I exited last time.
"Okay, dear friend, this baby is very open, very open, but it's of no use. Just keep it for yourself and play with it. You can't earn energy, you know.
"Hey? Friends, wait a moment, there's someone knocking on the door."
Chen Tingquan stood up and opened the door, and came back a moment later.
"Hey? Let's not look at treasures today. I received a gift. Strange, where did the gift come from?
"My dear friends, please don't talk nonsense. This is not a gift from someone who cheats on you. This is a live broadcast room with positive energy. Please don't talk nonsense.
"Huh? It was sent by Nitiantian Games?
"Oh! That's right, we agreed that there would be gifts for clearing "The Legend of Destiny Crouching Dragon"!"
…
Lilith almost forgot about this, she looked at Gu Fan subconsciously.
Gu Fan quickly explained: "Mr. Li, isn't this the standard you set at the beginning? A small gift of 20 yuan for each player who passes the level. As the number one war criminal, Chen Tingquan gave him a special gift.
“We carefully selected and carefully made it, and then specially requested it from the courier company, and it was delivered today.
"This is all to help "Fire Thief" get more popularity and attention in the early stage!"
Lilith nodded: "Well, yes, that's the case."
After all, it was money from her own treasury. Lilith quickly recalled it and turned to look at the projection screen, preparing to see Chen Tingquan's reaction after receiving the gift.
…
Chen Tingquan unpacked the box in front of the camera in the live broadcast room while sharing his "glorious deeds" with his friends.
"Maybe some newcomers don't know that this game was so scolded back then! Professor Ding even risked his life and fortune to not download it unless he couldn't pass the level. In the end, it was me who turned the tide. Once it has fallen, the building is about to collapse! Discovering the core mechanism of "Wolong Ce Nesting" not only saved the game's reputation, but also saved Professor Ding's life.
"Speaking of which, Xiao Ding should treat me to a meal."
Chen Tingquan showed off while opening the express delivery.
Friends in the live broadcast room also posted comments one after another.
"I have received it! A customs clearance medal and a certificate. They are quite exquisite. I think they cost more than ten yuan."
"Only a dozen dollars?"
"Otherwise? This game only costs you 98 yuan in total, and the official platform has to take a commission and deduct taxes. Do you want the manufacturer to give you money to send you gifts, right? A medal worth more than ten yuan would be good!"
"There is even a clearance certificate, which is quite cool. People who don't know it would think how difficult it is to clear the game."
"If you have the ability, try to clear the level without using [Wolongce Nesting]."
"That's the core mechanism of the game, why not use it? If you have the ability, you can become a ski champion without using skis."
"That's a BUG!"
"Nonsense, it's just the core mechanism!"
Seeing that the barrage was about to start a quarrel, Chen Tingquan quickly took out the contents of the express box.
"Hey? Friends, why is my gift different from what you said?
"Is this a golden trophy? It's still shaped like Zhuge Liang's feather fan. Huh? This is quite interesting.
"Gold-plated? No, why does it feel so heavy? It's pressed against my hand.
"Wait a minute, isn't this... pure gold?
"This is really pure gold, with a certificate!"
Chen Tingquan was stunned. As a professional treasure appraisal anchor, he was of course very familiar with gold. He could roughly determine whether it was gold by touching and weighing it. With the accompanying certificate, it becomes even clearer.
"This game against heaven actually gave me a solid gold trophy??"
This trophy is not big, it is a very small one that fits in the palm of your hand. Although it is made of pure gold, it is not particularly expensive. It should cost you 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
But as a gift from a game company to players, this thing is outrageous enough!
