Chapter 193 Azazel’s trump card
Huang Wang opened the backend of the game "Henggang Middle School Simulation" with a look of surprise on his face.
At the beginning, there weren't many changes, and sales were still the same as usual, half-dead.
But gradually, the growth rate of sales seems to have increased, and the newly obtained reviews have begun to gradually improve!
At the beginning, the evaluation of this game was "mostly negative reviews", and soon fell to "a lot of negative reviews".
The reason is also very simple. "Mostly negative reviews" are because players experienced poor quality graphics and cumbersome operations as soon as they entered the game, while "flood of negative reviews" are because players discovered a single gameplay after in-depth experience. Frequent bugs.
But now, the game's critical reception has actually improved and turned into "mixed reviews"!
In the future, "Henggang Middle School Simulator" will probably maintain this evaluation standard. It will not be able to break out of the industry with a shocking negative review rate like "Hell of Hell", nor will it be able to win the title of god like the game Against Heaven. super high rating.
However, the mixed reviews are enough to make some players willing to play!
Especially in recent reviews, "mostly positive" occasionally appears. Looking at this comfortable blue font, Huang Wang is filled with joy.
Looking at the growing sales data in the background, Huang Wang is even more happy.
Immediately afterwards, he opened other live broadcast rooms and game forums.
Then, Huang Wang was surprised to find that some of the live broadcast rooms of My Neighbor Totoro Live had taken the lead in using a small program.
The function of this small program is also very simple. It can be regarded as a MOD or some kind of modifier. Once opened, it can access the background data of the live broadcast platform and automatically collect the IDs of viewers who send gifts in the live broadcast room. and information, and automatically change the roles of students, teachers, and academic directors in "Henggang Middle School Simulation" to the corresponding audience IDs.
Moreover, this small program can even perform simple settings. For example, what kind of gifts can be given and what level of name can be changed, all with clearly marked prices.
For some small anchors, there are not that many viewers in the first place, so naturally they cannot find that many rich people to send them to the airport. If there are not enough people giving gifts, naturally there will be no cluster effect, and the final result is likely to be that no one is willing to give gifts.
Therefore, small anchors can lower the standard of gift-giving at their own discretion, such as giving one free cat food, giving a few yuan to apply for a card, or they can change the name in the game and enhance the sense of participation.
In this way, the program effects that have appeared in Wang Dawei's live broadcast room can be easily reproduced in other live broadcast rooms!
This kind of gift-giving behavior not only has full positive feedback, but this positive feedback also comes very quickly, without any delay.
In the past, Wang Dawei would input the gifts manually after seeing them, which was too inefficient after all.
With this small program, name changes are automatically completed. After the name is changed, a striking highlight effect will appear on the student's head, and there will be a gift effect similar to fireworks blooming. At the same time, the changed ID will also be displayed directly on his head.
Of course, the anchors still have to be grateful for the gifts.
For some special rich viewers, if the anchor pays special attention to them, the anchor can also manually adjust the names to assign more satisfactory characters to the rich viewers.
In short, the appearance of this small program was very timely, almost delivering pillows to the anchors when they were dozing off.
As for the forum, players also expressed their opinions on Wang Dawei's speech and launched a heated discussion.
Even on a question and answer website, questions related to Henggang Middle School once again became a hot search topic.
This heat... is rising so fast!
I have to say that popularity is a mysterious thing. When you want it, no matter how hard you rack your brains to choose a topic, or you try your best to buy hot searches, the popularity may not come; but sometimes you don’t think about it at all. When it comes, the heat suddenly and inexplicably arrives on its own!
At this time, Huang Wang felt as if he had been hit by a sudden wave of wealth.
His expression couldn't help but become excited: "Sorry, Mr. Sa, you are right! It is obviously better to make a business simulation game from the perspective of the principal!"
Of course, Huang Wang is just talking about it, which does not mean he really agrees with Azazel. He also knew that Mr. Sa was probably just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.
And even if the game becomes popular, he may not be able to get any project bonuses. After all, "Hell of Hell" is like that, and it has just barely recovered the research and development costs to prevent the company from going bankrupt.
But even so, Huang Wang was still happy.
From now on, he is a programmer with two successful game projects!
Although the names "Hell's Evil" and "Henggang Middle School Simulation" are written on the resume, which makes people's emotions change when they see it, you can just say whether it is a successful project or not!
It is much better than those projects that I have never heard of or even died suddenly before they were launched!
It has added brilliance to his personal resume...oh no, it will be infamous forever, but no matter what, black and red are also red, which will be very helpful for his future career!
I wanted to share the joy with Mr. Sa, but I didn't expect that Azazel's face turned pale and his hands were trembling slightly.
He murmured: "There are still emergency plans, there are emergency plans..."
Huang Wang was a little confused: "Emergency plan?"
He has never heard of any emergency plan in this game, not to mention that the game is in a great situation now, does it need any emergency plan?
Or is it possible that Mr. Sa’s so-called “emergency plan” was actually used in such a favorable situation?
I saw Azazel opening the game forum and quickly editing a post.
The title of the post is: Real hammer! "Henggang Middle School Simulation" plagiarizes "Prison Tycoon"! unambiguous evidence!
The content of this post is very clear. It directly accuses "Henggang Middle School Simulator" of plagiarizing "Prison Tycoon", matching the similar systems and functions of the two games one by one, and also lists a large number of screenshots for comparison. evidence.
For example, "One-click class scheduling" obviously copied the "One-click assignment of prison guards" in "Prison Tycoon", but since Prison Tycoon is full of prisoners, it doesn't matter how you assign prison guards, so the rules are written quite casually. However, "Henggang Middle School Simulation" did not add many additional rules during its production, which resulted in this function being particularly confusing and not having the desired effect at all.
In addition, the post also explains many bugs that appear in the game.
For example, the BUG "Students who were eliminated from the key class disappear mysteriously" is also because in "Prison Tycoon", the key class actually corresponds to the death row, and they are shot immediately after leaving.
Those strange art resource errors in the game, such as the tables and chairs in the cafeteria and the doors and windows in the classroom, are often messed up and turned into another style. This is also because the remaining art resources in the game template have not been deleted, so there is a problem with resource calling.
This is why school tables and chairs often turn into prison tables and chairs, and classroom doors and windows turn into prison bars.
Finally, after all the evidence was listed, the final word was made: "For such a shameless game manufacturer, please unite and boycott it! You can play casually for 2 hours, but you must remember to refund!"
After finishing writing, Azazel not only posted it on the forum, but also reposted it everywhere, including a few comments in the comment area of "Henggang Middle School Simulation".
Huang Wang stared at it dumbfounded. He was shocked, but he didn't dare to stop him at the first time. After all, Sa was his boss.
But when he saw Azazel copying and pasting for the fifteenth time, Huang Wang finally couldn't help it. He grabbed his arm: "Mr. Sa! What are you doing!!"
There is a reason for Huang Wang's anxiety. Everyone can see the harm these posts have done to the game "Henggang Middle School Simulation"!
Of course, strictly speaking, "Henggang Middle School Simulation" does not violate any laws and regulations.
If "Henggang Middle School Simulation" directly copies the code of other games, or directly uses the art resources of other games, then it is directly illegal. Even if other companies do not sue, the official platform will take action against the game once verified. Rack handling.
The reason why "Henggang Middle School Simulation" is so similar to "Prison Tycoon" is mainly because it uses the same template and the same functional modules of "Prison Tycoon".
Since these templates and functional modules are purchased from the official platform, there is no legal risk.
Including the art resources with bugs, they are also a small amount of low-quality resources that come with the template and are sold together.
But the absence of legal risks does not mean the absence of ethical issues.
Just like some game companies, they completely imitate the gameplay of popular games, produce similar games, and then use marketing methods to grab the market. Is it illegal? It's not illegal, but that doesn't stop players from scolding him.
Just as "Henggang Middle School Simulation" was about to recover, it was stabbed in the back by one of his own people and directly extinguished the spark. Huang Wang couldn't accept it!
Azazel was unmoved. He still shook off Huang Wang's hand, sent the last post, and leaned back on the computer chair confidently.
"You know nothing, I am the boss of Hell Front!"
For Azazel, if this game really makes money, then three-quarters of the negative emotions will still be taken away by Lilith. This is absolutely intolerable!
