I want to make a game

"Global internal testing! Every time a character is developed, a global internal testing will be conducted! The testing opportunities of 10,000 'Under One Person' units are distributed around the world, each unit costs 100,000 US dollars. Players can use this arcade machine for free. Who can find out?

For game bugs, rewards range from tens of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars."

Internal testing is the most direct way to solve game problems. No matter how hard and attentive the programmers are, there will always be unexpected things. Players do not have the ability to develop games, but don't underestimate their ability to find game loopholes.

ability!

The imbalance of character balance in fighting games is very simple. Which character has a ridiculously high usage rate, then there must be something wrong with that character! No one likes to seek abuse when playing games, everyone wants to win, and in order to win, powerful characters are the first choice.

Minoru Arakawa and Kenzo Moto don't quite agree with Liu Zhiyuan's idea. It's not that they don't know how to find players for testing, but at most they can find dozens or hundreds of players and have to sign confidentiality agreements.

"President, I'm afraid this test will take a long time, and it's very likely that players will lose the freshness."

Arakawa Minoru said with concern, Moto Kenzo and others on the side agreed with his words.

This is the limitation of vision. The new game is indeed a good gimmick, especially since the Han Dynasty is now known as a boutique game manufacturer, players will definitely look forward to it.

But what Liu Zhiyuan wants is not a hot game, he wants a classic game with a life cycle of decades. If he has the ability to make the game perfect, then he will never conduct a global closed beta.

The appearance of every new character is a huge publicity opportunity.

But now he does not have the ability to ensure the quality of the game, and he plays crazy gimmicks to raise players' expectations. Once a problem occurs after the game is released, the game can be declared dead. There are many such examples.

How many people in later generations have crazyly played promotional games and ultimately died due to the quality of the game.

"Remember, this is a game that will have sequels for decades. We have to pay more attention to the quality of the game than the temporary freshness. As long as the quality is high, the freshness can be ignored."

CS, in 2020, will anyone still feel fresh about it? No one, but it is still popular. World of Warcraft, who will feel fresh in 2020? But it is still the online game with the highest average number of online users in the world, and a nostalgic server directly crushed it

Other online games.

"Don't worry about the temporary novelty. If you can guarantee the quality of the game, then I will not conduct a global closed beta."

Everyone was silent. They couldn't guarantee it. Not only could they not guarantee it, but they were certain that if they developed and tested it themselves, there would definitely be many big and small problems after the release of this fighting game.

"No objection? Then continue. Any questions?"

Ben Kenzo hesitated and said.

"Are the prices of arcade machines too high? I'm afraid those bosses won't be able to accept it, so why don't we make them free?"

Seeing Liu Zhiyuan frowning, he hurriedly continued.

"Capcom only charges cost for these 10,000 arcade machines and will never make a penny!"

Although this arcade machine for fighting games is not a special model, Liu Zhiyuan's style must strive for excellence, and its price will not be too low. Ben Kenzo understands this very well, but he risked his life for that global fighting competition.

Since it has been decided to conduct internal testing around the world, the sooner the better. The bosses will definitely hesitate to spend 100,000 US dollars, especially if they spend 100,000 US dollars to let players play for free.

"President, I think you may have misunderstood. You have to understand that we are not begging the bosses to buy 'Under One Person', but they are begging us to sell it to them. If the purpose is not for internal testing, 500,000 units,

They all want to fight for their heads."

Except for Minoru Arakawa, who looked thoughtful, everyone else was frightened by Liu Zhiyuan's words. 500,000 yuan for an arcade machine? Still fighting for your head? Is this made of gold?

"I have designed the competition rules for the fighting competition. Let's take a look."

The copywriting that Liu Zhiyuan racked his brains appeared on the big screen.

"The competition format will adopt a points-circulating individual King of Fighters Championship and WCG's national team competition."

"The rules of the points competition are that each player's initial score in each season is 0, 1 point is added for a win, 0 points for a failure, and a best-of-three-game system. The 20 highest points rankings in the world are calculated on November 25th every year.

Players, these 20 players will compete for the title of King of Fighting."

“The rules of the WCG team competition are that starting from the end of the King of Fighters competition at the end of December each year, each country can form 3 teams to start intercontinental round-robin preliminaries. The top two teams from each continent will participate in the WCG finals.

, compete for the reputation of the strongest fighting nation."

Liu Zhiyuan has thought about many competition systems, but the most mature and largest one is undoubtedly football. The current game cannot distinguish many levels of leagues like football. The steps have been too big. The Han Dynasty does not have such influence yet.

, in an era when there were no e-sports clubs, players could only rely on Liu Zhiyuan to support himself.

In the eyes of many people, the club may make a living by sucking the blood of players, but without a club, it may be okay for him to establish a league by himself, but it will not be possible in the long run. He does not have that much energy or financial resources.

“The top 100 players in the global points ranking will receive bonuses ranging from 500,000 to 100,000. The top three players in the King of Fighters competition will receive bonuses of US$5 million, US$300, and US$100 respectively. An exclusive game will be created based on the opinions of the champion players.

His scene, this scene will be added to the game scene next season."

"In the WCG National Competition, the prize for the strongest team is US$10 million, followed by US$5 million and US$300. At the same time, scenes themed after this country's landmark buildings will be added to the game scene next season."

The handwriting was so big that Ben Kensan's face was full of sighs. It was really the same style as always. He was so excited just thinking about this scene that he was shaking with excitement, but... they make games to make money! According to Liu Zhiyuan's method,

How many units of 'Under One Person' will be sold?

"President Liu, I think your idea is very good, but...how much will it cost us!?"

"One hundred thousand dollars for one person, no counter-offering! Moreover, the test machine must be free forever. If anyone dares to charge, we have the right to immediately take back all his Han Dynasty products. This is written into the contract."

"this..."

Motoken was confused. He was not the only one who was confused. Everyone was confused except for Minoru Arakawa. A test machine costing US$100,000 was outrageous enough, but after all, it was a new game from the Han Dynasty, and there was also the World Fighting Championship as a gimmick.

Some bosses may bite the bullet and buy one just to gain popularity, but in the future, $100,000 is too much!
