Chapter 205 Can you give me some tips?

After Lu Haocheng and Gu Fan roughly finalized the design plan for this miniature handle steering wheel, they immediately returned to find a designer for detailed design and production of samples.

I originally thought it was just an ordinary little toy, but now Lu Haocheng realizes that it can be regarded as a core accessory of the "Explorer" series of handles!

If it really succeeds, it might be able to boost the sales of the "Explorer" series of controllers.

What if it fails?

It doesn't matter, after all, the "Explorer" series has released many particularly failed accessories before, such as the steering wheel knob.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to just think of it as a complete life at that time.

However, one thing worth noting is that Mr. Gu always insists on calling this plan "your plan", which is a bit like he is trying to distance himself from the relationship.

This made Lu Hao Chengdu feel a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Gu, this is obviously your design! I can't take your credit for this.

"I even think that when releasing this product, your name should be added to it. Just call it...'Commemorative peripheral designed by Gu Fan, the president and chief designer of Nitiantian Games'! I think it will definitely sell well. !”

Gu Fan quickly shook his head: "Of course not!

“We at Nitiantian always seek truth from facts when doing things and don’t engage in such fancy gimmicks.

"What's more, I just provided the idea, but don't you have to do the specific implementation? In the cultural and creative industry, the idea is not important, what is important is the person who implements the idea.

"So, Mr. Lu, you don't have to be modest. If this product fails, it can only be said that there is a problem with the idea. If the product succeeds, it means you have implemented it well."

Lu Haocheng couldn't help but feel happy: "Oh, why are you so embarrassed? Thank you so much, Mr. Gu!"

Obviously, Gu Fan's words mean the same thing. If there is a blame, then Gu Fan should take the blame himself. What if there is credit? Then leave it all to Lu Hao.

Within the company Zhitong Controller, Lu Haocheng certainly has to count on some good projects and performance to get promoted.

If this joint venture can be a big success, he will certainly have many benefits.

Whether the specific product was designed by him will also directly affect the amount of credit.

Of course, in Lu Haocheng's view, Gu Fan is the president of Nitiantian Games and the company belongs to him. It is normal for him to look down on his small contribution to product design.

But this kind of generosity still touched Lu Haocheng.

After all, there are many bosses who are careless in reality, but few are truly generous.

Gu Fan smiled in his heart, what a generosity, this is just the most basic desire to survive.

The two had a great conversation and quickly decided on the design plan for this miniature steering wheel.

As for its specific name and how it will be announced later, that will happen later. The top priority right now is to produce the product first, play with it, try it out, and then make some improvements later to try to make it a hit!

…

Back in the hotel room, Gu Fan lay on the bed and stretched out.

Since Lilith transferred him from the game department, Gu Fan has been enjoying his leisure time. His work intensity has plummeted and he can have more time to rest every day.

I just don’t know what the current status of Road Rage Simulator is.

Gu Fan opened the live broadcast platform on his laptop and wanted to see what games the anchors were live broadcasting recently.

But then, his expression was a little surprised, and the mouse also stopped on an exclusive event page of the live broadcast platform.

"Ascension" National Speed ​​Run Contest!

Gu Fan was a little surprised, but he wasn't too shocked at first. He thought it was an event organized by the My Neighbor Totoro Live platform itself.

But after a closer look, I discovered that this event was actually organized by Nitiantian Games and the live broadcast platform! The prizes are all provided by Nitiantian Games, and My Neighbor Totoro Live provides some traffic support.

Gu Fan's CPU almost burned out and he didn't understand what was going on.

Was it Zhou Yang or Su Tong's idea?

But this kind of thing must be done with Lilith’s nod, right?

Taking a closer look at the rules of the speedrunning competition, Gu Fan understood.

This speedrun competition is completely different from the previous speedruns of "Sisyphus" and "Lemur". The key point lies in the word "all people"!

The competition is divided into many different tracks, not only the difference between the evil path and the innocent path, but also divided into many different stages within the game.

According to the progress of the game, each speed pass process is roughly divided into more than three speed pass stages.

The speed pass process that originally took about 30 minutes, after being divided into three stages, only takes 10 minutes.

For ordinary players, the difficulty is obviously greatly reduced.

Moreover, players do not have to run for 10 minutes to get rewards. The official requirement is that as long as they can run for about 13 minutes in each stage, they can get rewards.

Of course, due to different processes, the time divided into each stage cannot be accurately stuck to 10 minutes, so the specific standards will fluctuate. But in general, the time required for ordinary players to reach the standard is basically about 50% higher than the theoretical best time of professional speedrunners.

The rewards for this speedrunning competition basically focus on participation. As long as you can reach the standard on any track, you can get a 10 yuan discount coupon for any game in Nitian; if you can reach the standard on three tracks, you can get about A small gift of 30 yuan; if you meet the standard of more than five tracks, then Nitiantian’s next game will be completely free of charge!

If you can complete the speed pass of the entire game process and reach the minimum standard, you will also receive an additional reward: 198 red envelopes!

These rewards may not seem like much, but the point is that they are not limited to the number of winners like ranking rewards, but are a pass-through reward that will be given to anyone who passes!

If it's a bit extreme, if all the players in the game Nitian can speed through the entire process of "Ascension" and meet the official minimum time standard, then the official will really give all players a 198!

This reward is quite tempting for ordinary players!

Compared with the generous passing rewards, the ranking rewards are quite shabby, and can even be said to be dispensable.

Only the first, second and third place in each track will receive red envelope rewards of 298, 198 and 98 respectively.

It stands to reason that in general speedrunning events, no matter how low the bonus is in the first few rounds, it will always be around 1,000, and the bonus for the first place is often much higher than that for the second place, and some peripherals or hardware worth several thousand yuan may even be given. It’s also normal as a prize.

After all, in a speedrunning competition, if you want to get first place, the effort you put in is much higher than that of others.

But I have to say that this new speedrunning event has indeed aroused great enthusiasm and attention.

The popularity of "Ascension" has already begun to decline. Although there are indeed many players who are studying the speedrunning of this game and enjoy it, it is only a carnival for a small number of players after all.

Ordinary players finish the game for a week and get a perfect ending, and then basically give up.

But now, since there are no new games to replace them in the short term, and this speedrunning competition has real money rewards, players are idle and just take this opportunity to learn how to play speedrunning.

As long as you complete a 10-minute speed run on one of the small tracks, you can earn yourself a cup of milk tea. Anyway, you have nothing to do, so why not give it a try?

The popularity and attention of the competition itself have increased, attracting more players to join.

They may not care about the rewards, but they do care about the popularity and traffic brought by the competition.

As a result, the momentum from the beginning of this speedrunning contest was even greater than the previous speedrunning of "Sisyphus" and even "The Hellboy"!

At this time, Gu Fan was feeling a little nervous when he looked at this speedrunning competition.

He didn't expect that someone would bring him a pillow while he was dozing off...

He has used all the positive emotions given by Shamir before, mainly to enhance the positive emotions players get during the speed pass process.

If we only look at the recent situation, the situation is still somewhat confusing. Although there is a high probability that you can get your money back, you may not be able to make a lot of money.

But now, suddenly everyone has a speed pass...

Gu Fan could only say that he felt like someone was helping him.

Was it Chamille who took action? Or someone in the company?

It couldn't be that Lilith came up with this great idea on her own, right?

It's simply puzzling.

However, Gu Fan did not delve into this point. If he seemed too curious, it might arouse Lilith's suspicion. He pretended that he didn't know anything and just did his job seriously.

…

…

More than two months passed in the blink of an eye.

May 30th, Friday at 5pm.

Gu Fan was not at the hotel today but returned to the villa. After all, tomorrow is the weekend. There is no work, so naturally there is no need to "travel" and you can have a good rest.

During the day today, Lu Haocheng had brought over a sample of the twice-improved micro-handle steering wheel accessory. Gu Fan had a brief experience with it and found no problems this time. Mass production was almost ready to begin.

Of course, it is said to be mass production, but in reality, only a few hundred pieces are produced at most.

This was only obtained because Nitiantian Company was wealthy and relatively reputable.

After all, this accessory seems quite unreliable, and Zhitong handles don’t dare to produce too many. If there is a backlog, it will be troublesome. Such a comprehensive product may not be able to be sold even if it is discounted and reduced in price.

The decoration of the experience store has been roughly completed. Gu Fan has been keeping an eye on the progress and is quite satisfied with the current decoration effect, fully realizing his original plan.

As for "Road Rage Simulator", based on time calculation, the development of the game itself should be almost completed, but it will still undergo rigorous testing in the future.

Gu Fan was sitting on the sofa, wondering what takeaway he should eat today, when the doorbell rang.

When he opened the door, he saw that it was Zhou Yang.

"Mr. Gu, I heard that you are back. I came over quickly to take a look."

The expression on Zhou Yang's face was very confusing: "The development of "Road Rage Simulator" has been basically completed, but... Mr. Gu, I still haven't figured out what kind of bugs this game will have! Can you... Any hints?”
