When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay

"Okay brothers, clear the level in one week!

"I'll stop playing here today. When I wake up tomorrow, I will study the side plot of this game and try to see if there are other endings."

Emperor Gan looked at the time, it was already past four in the morning.

At three o'clock, he thought he would be able to finish it quickly, but he didn't expect that the boss was stuck for an hour in the end.

But it doesn't matter, after all, this BOSS battle is really hearty and enjoyable. It is also the most impressive BOSS battle that Gan Emperor has fought in the past two years.

It’s a perfect ending to the game “Ascension”.

The popularity of Gan Emperor's live broadcast room was not high to begin with, and it was already past four in the morning, so there weren't many viewers at the moment.

However, they still posted "congratulations" and "666" to share their joy.

Emperor Gan couldn't help but guess: "I don't know what the conditions are for winning the gold trophy for this game?

“It’s not easy to guess.

"By the way, I'm going to see what specific achievements this game has!"

Although he has already won two gold trophies, the Liver Emperor will obviously not be satisfied with this.

Of course, he also knew that the probability of continuing to win the gold trophy was low, because the game Against Heaven was becoming more and more popular and there were more and more players. There are all kinds of talents among the players. Even if the Liver Emperor grows eight more livers, he may not be able to round up all the remaining gold trophies.

But he still had to try anyway.

The conditions for winning a gold trophy are different for each of NiTianTian's games, and NiTianTian official does not necessarily directly announce the specific conditions for winning.

Take the game "Ascension" as an example. If you want to get the gold trophy, do you have to be the first to clear the level? Or will you be the first to hit the hidden ending? Or are there any other conditions?

It's not easy to guess.

However, based on Emperor Gan's understanding of Nitiantian games, this clue is often hidden in the game's achievement system.

Most of the most difficult achievements in the game are directly related to the gold trophy.

Gan Emperor opened the achievement system of "Ascension". There are 33 achievements in total, and Gan Emperor has completed 15 of them during the normal game advancement process.

Simply pull the achievement system to the bottom. The last achievement is undoubtedly the platinum achievement, which is automatically obtained after completing all previous achievements.

The focus is on the penultimate achievement: "Short Sleep"!

The description of the achievement is: Complete the ending of "Awakening at Sunrise" within 3 hours.

The Gan Emperor instantly made a guess: "Could it be that...the condition for completing the gold trophy this time is to see who can complete the ending the fastest?

"'Awakening at Sunrise'... What kind of ending is this? I didn't seem to see this option before. Is it a hidden ending?

"You want to complete the hidden ending in three hours? Oh my god, it's a bit difficult!"

Although Emperor Gan still doesn't know what conditions are needed to achieve the ending of "Awakening at Sunrise", judging from the achievement list, this is obviously a hidden ending in the game.

And since it is a hidden ending, compared to the normal ending, a series of specific side tasks must be completed.

According to the current clearance process, Gan Emperor can roughly estimate the speed-passing time of the game "Ascension".

If it is the ending where the two or five boys rebel during the invasion, since there is no need to go to the upper world and there are fewer bosses to fight, the speedrun time is likely to be reduced to less than forty minutes.

The conventional "return to nature" ending should be able to be compressed into less than an hour.

So what about the more complicated ending of "Wake Up at Sunrise"? I estimate it can be compressed into less than an hour and a half.

But it should be noted that this is a world record level!

Speed ​​pass players race against time, and these data are all extreme data. But for the average player, even if they deliberately practice according to the guide and perfectly plan the relevant processes, I am afraid that this time will have to be at least half.

In other words, it is definitely a huge challenge for players to reach the ending of "Awakening at Sunrise" within three hours.

If you want to get all the achievements in this game, I'm afraid you have to suffer like crazy!

…

…

the next day.

February 3rd, Monday.

Wei Chengjie arrived at the company on time and found that all the workstations were basically empty. Only Zhou Yang was sitting at the workstation, yawning and playing "Ascension".

"Huh? Isn't today Monday? Did I see the wrong date?" Wei Chengjie was very puzzled.

Zhou Yang looked at him: "You read that right, Brother Wei, today is indeed Monday."

Wei Chengjie was even more puzzled: "Where are the people? Why didn't everyone come to work?"

Zhou Yang continued to type the BOSS seriously: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, Brother Wei. Mr. Gu said before that the first three days after the game is released will be a flexible working system. Everyone can decide their own time to go to and from get off work, or they can choose to stay at home. office.

"After all...even if you come to the company, there is nothing to do."

Wei Chengjie opened his mouth slightly and was speechless for a moment.

What you said really makes sense!

If it were any other company, the week after the game is released would definitely be the busiest. Everyone would have to be on call at the company, and they would have to be ready at any time even after get off work.

After all, there are likely to be bugs or emergencies after the game is released, and they must be dealt with promptly once they occur.

Only a week after the game is released and it is determined that there are no major problems, can everyone relax a little and start preparing for the development of a new version immediately.

But the game Against Heaven is obviously completely different.

Since you can’t change a line of code after a game is released, and you can’t develop new versions, then why do you come to work?

Even if you come here, aren't you just fishing at your work station?

Obviously it was with this in mind that Gu Fan directly changed the three days after the game was released into a flexible working system.

And this is a true flexible work system. Employees can work how they want. Unlike other companies, which talk about flexible working systems, in fact they can only make it longer, not shorter.

Wei Chengjie looked at Zhou Yang: "Then why are you here anyway?"

Zhou Yang continued to play the game seriously: "Hey, the stupid bird flies first! I can't always let Mr. Gu carry, I have to work hard!"

Wei Chengjie sat down at his workstation. Since everyone is here, let's work overtime. Oh no, let's work overtime.

Of course, Wei Chengjie is also paying attention to the situation of "Ascension" this weekend.

After all, this is the first game he developed after joining Nitiantian Games. If it fails, he will doubt his life.

But fortunately, this game was a success without any danger!

In just two days over the weekend, Wei Chengjie experienced a lot emotionally like a roller coaster.

At the beginning, many players gave "Ascendance" angrily negative reviews because of the large number of bugs that existed in "Ascension", causing "Ascension"'s ratings to hover around "mixed praise" for a long time.

But soon, Wang Dawei analyzed the plot of the game and made players realize that these bugs were part of the plot. Coupled with the discovery of hidden mechanisms such as "air swimming", "bug sword" and "manual world switching", "Ascension" 》The playability is greatly improved.

Therefore, the reputation of this game has improved rapidly, and now it has become "mostly positive"!

It wouldn’t be surprising if after some time it becomes “rave reviews”.

Yesterday, a large number of clips of anchors suffering in "Ascension" appeared on video websites.

Seeing different perspectives in a two-player game, switching worlds in a single-player mode, grabbing mission NPCs, being bloody tortured by BOSS... these are all quite good program effects, so these slices quickly gained extremely high popularity and promoted The second spread of "Ascension".

The most interesting thing is probably the word "collapse".

When you open the live broadcast platform, almost half of the pictures in the console area are "Ascension", and more than half of these pictures have the word "collapse" in them.

Netizens have ridiculed that "Ascension" is a game that teaches players how to write the word "collapse". This "collapse" is not only the collapse of the characters in the game, but also the collapse of the mentality of the players outside the game!

In its early days, Ascension was truly a game of pure suffering.

But with the continuous discovery of hidden mechanisms, different types of players have begun to experience completely different fun in the game.

For those hardcore players who like action games, they refuse to use the BUG version of the relic sword and stubbornly continue to use the regular game mechanism to pass the level.

Even in order to make it more difficult for themselves, they will choose to pass the level under the "three bans"!

The so-called three bans are ban on props, ban on martial arts, and ban on finding immortal records. In other words, you can almost only use the basic actions in the game such as moving, jumping, dodging, attacking, and parrying to pass the level.

For handicapped players who don't want to hone their skills, they can follow the video tutorial and use air swimming directly after arriving at Jiangdu City to sneak to Jingon Temple.

The first time you go to Shingon Temple, you will normally trigger a BOSS battle in the fantasy world, but this is a mechanical BOSS after all, and you can easily pass it after reading the guide.

Then you can swim once more to reach the True Word Temple, and you can get the BUG version of the relic sword, and then start the path to unparalleled strength.

It doesn't matter if you can't parry perfectly. Using the BUG sword and various props is enough to pass the level.

Of course, more players will choose a compromise. They will get the BUG sword but also hone their combat skills. Only in some special circumstances will they use the BUG sword to pass the level.

In short, players can adjust the difficulty of combat by themselves, play the game in the way they like and gain happiness!
