August 15th, Wednesday …
Yan Qi continued to look for bugs with the testing team and submit them to the development team to fix.
They had already fixed many bugs, but the number of new bugs did not decrease at all!
It had to be said that this situation was very discouraging.
It felt like standing on a broken boat and scooping water out. The more you scooped, the more water there was!
Only Yan Qi, who was a more optimistic person, could still hold on.
Logically speaking, after the development of Blade of the Empire was completed, they had arranged for a small group of players to test it. Although there were bugs, it should not have reached the point where it could not be played, right?
But now, a bunch of bugs appeared inexplicably, as if all the previous work had been in vain.
It was like solving a math problem. Just as the answer was about to be solved, you realized that you had filled in a hidden condition, causing you to miss a large step, and you had to fill in all the missing steps.
It was hard not to have problems with your mentality when dealing with such a blow.
However, Yan Qi felt that there were only so many bugs. It was better to find them earlier than later. Since they could not fix all the bugs, they would delay it. They had already been working on it for a few months. A few more weeks did not matter.
Even as the boss, Yan Qi personally tried the game repeatedly. He submitted new bugs to the development team and kept an eye on the progress.
After finding a few more bugs, Yan Qi was ready to take a break.
He turned on his phone and realized that someone had invited him to a new group chat.
"Hmm? 'Morning Dew Gaming Platform Developer Exchange Group'?
"… Is there a need to create a group for this? Isn't it a little unnecessary? "
After seeing the group name, Yan Qi felt that it was a little ridiculous.
He had never heard of a gaming platform creating a group to drag all the game developers they worked with into it!
That was because most game companies only focused on their own games and did not care much about the situation of other game companies. The gaming platform only needed to communicate with the game developers. Why did they need to create a group to drag everyone in?
However, on second thought, Yan Qi felt that it was not a big deal to join such a group. He could also get to know other companies in the industry.
The person who created the group was obviously a smurf. Yan Qi guessed that it was one of the employees of Morning Dew Gaming Platform.
He was right. This group was created by Li Yada using a smurf. The reason why she did not use her main account was to prevent leaks.
Yan Qi didn't think too much about it, because it was quite common to have a smurf account at work. Many people separated their work accounts from their daily accounts, and used their work accounts and business partners.
Glancing at the list of members in the group, there were only a dozen people so far, but they were still inviting others to join.
The owner of the chat group, whose ID was "Staff of Morning Dew Platform", spoke first.
"Hello everyone! Thank you, everyone, for your trust in the Morning Dew Gaming Platform. We created this group in the hopes that we can share with everyone the latest developments of the platform in a timely manner and strengthen communication. In addition, everyone can also exchange and share their daily experiences in the group. "
"At present, the development of the Morning Dew Gaming Platform's program has basically been completed. The cloud server has also been properly set up. It's estimated that we can start trial operations before this weekend. You can contact me privately if the bugs are fixed and I'll arrange for them to be released. There's no rush for those that haven't been fixed. After all, it's still in the trial phase."
"Anyway, everyone, do your best!"
He even sent a "work hard" emoji at the end.
Yan Qi was slightly surprised. This Morning Dew Gaming Platform was quite efficient.
Due to the technological problems in this world, be it game development or other program development, they were all relatively fast. However, it was clearly not an especially easy task to create a gaming platform in such a short period of time.
It seemed like the technical team on the Morning Dew Gaming Platform was also a rather mature technical team.
Apart from that, the act of building a gaming platform made Yan Qi feel quite warm.
After all, other gaming platforms basically wouldn't chat with developers. They would discuss business with a straight face. Some big platforms were even especially arrogant and often ignored small game companies.
Very soon, someone in the group replied.
"Ah, this, is the trial operation starting this weekend? I feel like it's impossible to fix all the bugs! "
"It's not just impossible to fix all the bugs. It's even difficult for us to reproduce those bugs … "
"+ 1. It's the same situation here. We're vomiting from looking for bugs!"
As soon as they heard that the trial operation would start this weekend, these companies clearly could not stay calm.
Although there would not be many players during the trial operation period, there were few games on the platform. Basically, the games that were released would get a good recommendation spot.
Therefore, there were still many benefits to participating in this trial operation.
However, the problem was that the bugs could not be fixed at all!
Many companies did not even know how to reproduce bugs that had been triggered, let alone fix bugs. "Fix all the bugs" was easy to say, but to actually do it, it was probably far away.
Of course, the condition of the Morning Dew Gaming Platform was not "fix all the bugs", but "Director Tang did not encounter more than three bugs in half an hour."
Therefore, many game companies had some wishful thinking. After fixing a dozen bugs, they brought the game to the door again. As a result, they were ruthlessly taught a lesson by reality.
Now, many people were highly suspicious. The gap between the two conditions of "Director Tang did not encounter more than three bugs in half an hour" and "fix all the bugs" might be much smaller than everyone thought. It might even not exist.
It would have been better without this group. After entering this group, everyone communicated and found that everyone was the same!
They were all suffering from bugs.
Yan Qi silently looked at everyone's chat history and suddenly realized that the situation he encountered might not be an exception.
Moreover … everyone seemed to have not discovered that this building was actually a treasure land?
Seeing that these colleagues were all suffering from bugs, Yan Qi felt that he should do a little bit to help them.
Although it could not reduce bugs, it could speed up the speed of discovering bugs!
Moreover, there seemed to be a lot of empty spaces in this office building. It would not be a problem to have a few more companies.
Thinking of this, Yan Qi replied in the group, "If everyone thinks that it is difficult to reproduce bugs, I have a more metaphysical solution. You can come to this building of the Morning Dew Gaming Platform to find bugs. This seems to be a treasure land. The probability of finding bugs is greatly increased! "
As soon as Yan Qi's message was sent out, he received a bunch of question marks.
“？”
"Brother, you are so funny. You still have to pick a place to find bugs?"
"How is this metaphysics? It is obviously lying to yourself …"
"Ah, could it be that a building property manager sneaked into the group?"
"Oh no, it seems that there are too many bugs and the pressure of fixing them is too great. It has caused the child to become insane and have hallucinations!"
"Brother, believe in science. No matter where, the probability of bugs appearing is the same. Such simple probability knowledge, it is impossible for a game maker not to understand, right?"
No one believed him at all.
This was also within Yan Qi's expectations. After all, what he said was too bizarre. If he had not tested it repeatedly, he would not have believed that it was true.
"Why would I lie to you?"
"I have already moved the entire testing team here. Look. [Image] "
"You can try too. Just send two testers with their own games. There is no loss anyway."
Yan Qi didn't say much. After all, this was indeed metaphysics through and through. Moreover, it was sometimes ineffective.
It did not seem to work during the weekends.
He saw that these companies were suffering from bugs, so he understood compassion and wanted to help them.
If they did not believe him, then forget it.
In any case, these companies could not fix the bugs, and their games could not be released. It was not a problem for him.
"I still think it is nonsense …"
"I am very close. Forget it, I will make a trip over. If I can't find the bugs, you have to treat me to a meal! "
"Alright, everyone is in Jingzhou. It is not bad to take this opportunity to meet and gather. I will go take a look."
"Can someone send me the location?"
Obviously, most people still thought it was nonsense and did not believe it at all.
However, these were small companies after all. They were all in Jingzhou's gaming circle. It was good to know more people. Who knows, they might be able to help each other in the future. Therefore, a few people in charge of the companies nearby discussed and decided to bring their own games over.
If they could not find the bugs, they would treat it as a gay meetup.
…
Yan Qi did not look at the group anymore. He continued to look for bugs.
After more than half an hour, the people in charge in the group arrived one after another.
The boss of the game company, the chief designer of the game, and the person-in-charge of the testing team were here. They went straight to the address given by Yan Qi.
After greeting each other, Yan Qi led them to the work station that he had rented last week.
The testing team was still busying themselves nervously.
"Good lord, Boss Yan, you really moved the testing team here?"
"I don't know what to say."
"Boss Yan, you don't have to believe in metaphysics to this extent, right? I thought you were just joking before, but now it seems that your problem is far more serious than just joking around … "
Although these people were here, they still did not believe that this place could test for bugs.
Yan Qi could not be bothered to explain more. "You'll know when you run your own games."
Everyone was skeptical. They found a place to sit down and took out their cell phones to run their own games.
At the moment, most of the games on Chao Lu Gaming Platform were mobile games. That was because the threshold for creating mobile games was relatively low. Moreover, mobile games were booming now. There were many players. Therefore, mobile games were the best choice for these start-up companies.
Those who were willing to work with Chao Lu Gaming Platform were basically small local games companies in Jingzhou. Therefore, they were basically making mobile games.
The representatives of the various companies did not believe in such metaphysics at all.
However, after opening their own games and running for a few minutes, their expressions all changed.
From disdain to shock, from shock to surprise, and finally to confusion.
That was because they realized that the bugs in the game were really appearing frequently!
Even the bug that had appeared by chance once before and never appeared again was encountered once again!
Although they did not deliberately do the statistics, they felt that the probability had increased significantly!
However, this shock and surprise soon turned into confusion.
The materialism and scientific concepts that had existed for a long time were being challenged at this moment …
At the beginning, everyone thought that Yan Qi was joking and that it was just a joke that was not very funny.
After arriving, everyone realized that the situation was more serious than that. Yan Qi was not joking. He really thought so. He even brought the testing team over!
Therefore, everyone began to worry about Yan Qi's mental state.
Now, everyone realized that the severity of the situation was completely beyond their understanding.
That was because what Yan Qi said was actually true!
Many people still could not accept this fact. After closing the game and calming down for a few minutes, they started the game again to experience it.
In the end, they encountered a bunch of bugs again. What's more, there were bugs that were not the same as the previous ones!
Everyone could not help but look at each other, feeling as if their worldview had been turned upside down.
"There's actually such a thing as a treasured place with Feng Shui?"
"The bugs that did not reappear before are obviously more likely to be triggered here!"
"I'll call the person in charge of testing our company and ask him to bring two testers over to test!"
"I'm going to look for the building's property management to see if there are other workstations …"
"Wait a minute, everyone, don't be anxious. I think in the spirit of scientific, rigorous, and serious testing, we should try the other floors first. We should find which floor has the best effect in this building. If there is a floor with better effect than this one, wouldn't it be better for us to directly rent that floor?"
