Chapter 309 Game Exhibition
What Gu Fan said is indeed the truth.
Actually, to be fair, are there really so many bugs in Wanxiang Editor? Not really.
Although it has many new technologies and new mechanisms, it is not as stable as the old version of the editor, so that other companies do not like to use it, but it is not like any game you make will have 100 bugs.
The reason why there were so many bugs in "Ascension" before was because Gu Fan deliberately left them in in order to fulfill Lilith's "100 bugs" requirement.
In fact, if we really fix it seriously, there are a lot of model and texture bugs among these 100 bugs, which are easy to fix.
After the great success of "Ascension", both the official and other game companies were encouraged. Not only did the official make several major updates to the Vientiane Editor, but many other game companies also chose to use the Vientiane Editor. Develop your own new game.
So, although there are still a few game companies using this editor, they can indeed use it reluctantly.
Compared with traditional editors, Wanxiang Editor is more powerful and more complex.
So there are two paths before the "Endless Fantasy Legend" project team at this time.
The first way is to use the original engine to make it. The advantage is that it has fewer bugs and is stable. However, some unique designs in the game, such as the gravity system and the resulting physical effects, require additional production, and the workload is still huge.
The second way is to use the latest version of Vientiane Editor. The advantage is that new functions such as gravity system and time system are available. This editor has similar modules that can be quickly implemented. But the downside is that there may be more bugs.
Even if the testing team tests carefully and the program tries its best to fix it, there will eventually be fish that slip through the net.
Comparatively speaking, the development speed will be faster using Wanxiang Editor.
Wei Chengjie nodded: "Okay, Mr. Gu, then we will use the Vientiane Editor to develop it. It just so happens that several of our core programmers have also used this editor to develop "Ascension", so they have some experience. "
Gu Fan wandered around again and took a look at today's recruitment situation.
After Nitian issued the recruitment request, it was immediately filled with resumes from all over the country.
After all, Nitiantian Games has many successful projects, and even traditional MMORPGs such as "Shadow World" can operate stably. It is obvious that it is a prosperous and prosperous game company. Coupled with the urban legends of various bonuses, it is still very attractive to talents.
At present, Xiao Mingyu is responsible for the initial interviews with these people, mainly to determine the authenticity of resumes and verify some basic information.
After that, the heads of each department will be interviewed to determine the business capabilities and enter the probation period.
After the interview was completed, Xiao Mingyu distributed several resumes that passed the interview today to the heads of various departments, and then made a simple report to Gu Fan.
Gu Fan is quite satisfied with the current recruitment progress.
“By the way, Mr. Gu, there is one more thing.”
Xiao Mingyu took a printed leaflet from the desk nearby: "In three months, there will be a large-scale game exhibition in the Magic City.
“The exhibition organizer invites us to go there. It’s up to you to decide whether you want to participate.”
Gu Fan took a look at the flyer and saw that the event was called "Magic City International Game Art Festival Expo". According to the promotional content on the flyer, this was a large-scale international exhibition integrating game hardware, software, related media and services.
To put it bluntly, all kinds of game-related hardware manufacturers and game companies will participate in this exhibition, which is quite large. For some invited key companies, the exhibition will arrange large booths and corresponding trial areas.
At the same time, on the big screen in the main venue, major game manufacturers or hardware manufacturers can also promote their new products or games, taking this opportunity to provide concentrated exposure and display to domestic and foreign game media.
There is no doubt that this is an excellent opportunity for some emerging domestic game manufacturers.
Barnarin Games is currently a fame in the domestic game industry. In the past few games, all the games have been greatly successful, so the organizers are also given face. As long as Nitian Games confirms its attendance, it will be allocated a large exhibition area, and the official will also provide dozens of trial equipment.
Of course, the specific layout of the booth and related maintenance still need to be solved by Nitian Games itself.
Gu Fan thought for a while and quickly made a decision: "Go! If you have this opportunity, of course it can be used to promote our new game.
"In this way, we will seize the time and develop a trial demo of "Endless Fantasy Legend" first. At the same time, the 70 version of "Shadow World" can also produce a test version and bring it to the exhibition.
“These two games are the main contents of our exhibition.
"The official should give us about 60 trial devices, tentatively as follows: 25 devices for "Endless Fantasy Legend", 25 devices for "Shadow World" 70 version, and 10 devices for Inverse Heaven Other games, such as "Ascension" and the like.
“In addition, we will produce additional promotional videos for the 70th version of "Endless Fantasy Legend" and "Shadow World" for big-screen broadcast and display."
Xiao Mingyu nodded: "Okay, Mr. Gu, I will make arrangements right away."
The current promotional video for "Shadow World" is easy to say, because it is already in the development plan of the 70 version.
The promotional video mainly shows the new races, new groups, and new map areas of the 70 version. Generally speaking, they are all quite satisfactory content, but after all, it is a specially produced CG, so the accuracy will be higher.
"Endless Fantasy Legend" has not yet produced special CG, and there is no need to produce that kind of traditional CG.
Gu Fan's idea is that after the demo is finished, he can just choose a few scenes in the demo and make a simple promotional video using the actual demonstration of the game content. This will save time and effort. After all, the game itself is also based on gameplay. .
The focus is still on the trial session at the press conference.
If it is other game companies, the trial phase is relatively simple. Anyway, if you throw the demo on it, as long as it’s not too bad, it won’t overturn.
But the game Nitiantian is different, because the demo must not only be tested by the players, but also by Mr. Li.
After all, the trial demo is not the official version. After this exhibition is over, everyone will continue to modify the game before it can be officially launched for sale.
Then the question is, what if Lilith discovers some clues during the trial and thinks that the game will not collect enough negative emotions after its official release, and strictly demands Gu Fan to make major changes?
Hence, the reputation of players during the trial session at the exhibition is very important.
It should not be too high, causing Lilith to question the content of the game and force Gu Fan to make major changes; but it should not be too low, otherwise the exhibition will ruin the reputation and players of the official version of the game will not come to play.
The degree of this must be carefully grasped.
