I Wrote a Bug, but It Became the Core Gameplay

No, do you really have a bug? 🙂

I remember one sentence after reading the book about bugs Bloody words in the early stage, silence in the middle stage, and nonsense in the later stage.

I'll just say what the family says, but book friends will just listen to it 🤭 When Sister Qing first released her new book, I read the beginning of the new book and thought the setting was quite interesting. Compared with the much-loved "Loss of Money", the "capitalist" in this work has become Mr. Li Lisili, and the protagonist Lao Gu has become a worker. In this way, the story becomes similar to the perspective of Tengda employees in "Loss to the Richest Man". The boss is desperately trying to lose money, and the employees are desperately backstabbing 😂 "On how I backstabbed to compensate the boss" "The Years I Backstabbed at Tenda" This setting is very lovable at the beginning and development stages of the novel, including getting better and starting to run the picture (no). Most of us book friends are workers, who doesn't want to backstab his boss? Regardless of whether he is a capitalist who should hang up street lights or lose money to the boss, or stab the boss in the back, please do the same for me! 😂 In "Loss to Become the Richest Man", Mr. Pei, a clever little guy, is trying every possible means to lose money. In the early and middle stages of the work, there is no embodied "villain" for Mr. Pei to defeat, nor is there a humanized "dog system" to compete with him in a battle of wits and courage. Mr. Pai's enemy is actually the alienation of capital, and because "the capitalist turns out to be myself", the victory of the anti-capital attributes of the work is actually reflected/presented in Mr. Pai himself (laughing) Therefore, book friends have become more and more aware of Mr. Pai, and Tengda also In the middle and late stages of gradually becoming bigger and stronger, the plot of losing the boss in one operation is as fierce as a tiger, the machine gun moves two and a half meters, and the profit is overflowing. From a creative point of view, it is becoming more and more difficult to handle. From a reading experience, a war without enemies for a long time will inevitably lead to aesthetic fatigue. At this time, Comrade Meng Chang appeared as the "imaginary enemy" (laughing), and the novel also changed from "a war with one person to compensate for the total loss" to an extreme struggle with Xiao Meng. Pull, extreme pull! Conflicts and interest are once again full, and book friends' expectations for "I know, I still make money after losing money" are also full again because there is a concrete "opponent" to "defeat". So when I came to this game, when I saw Li Lisili, a boss in a dual sense, appeared at the beginning, I was very looking forward to it. From the beginning, the object Lao Gu wanted to defeat had a concrete human goal, not just abstract things such as certain ideas, systems, and failed egos. The ultimate struggle between Mr. Li, a criminal capitalist, and [Cancel]The Chosen[/Cancel] elite worker Lao Gu will also be seen throughout the book. One day, Lao Gu will defeat Mr. Li and win a great victory, just like the hero in the movie finally defeated the evil devil, so the audience can leave with satisfaction eating popcorn. The battle of wits and courage between Lao Gu and Mr. Li, and the successful backstabs again and again, have indeed satisfied the expectations of me as a reader. No matter you are a street light reservation person or a devil, backstab, backstab fiercely! ! Mr. Li was a little more furious when she saw the rave reviews for the new game! ! 😂 Unfortunately, it only takes two hours for the hero to defeat the devil in the movie, while the span of online novel serialization is often measured in years. When Lao Gu and Mr. Li's extreme push stretched to a few months or even a year, problems arose. Reading novels, at least reading online novels, requires a sense of gain. No matter what you get, upgrading is also a gain. The protagonist gets an artifact and a skill, which is also a gain. The relationship between the protagonist and the girl who has a crush on each other is also a gain. If you lose money, you will make a lot of money. The joy it brings to readers is also a gain (laughing) But the protagonist's gains must always match his efforts and risks. Take Mr. Pian, who has brought a huge amount of emotional value to everyone, as an example Mr. Pian is making a lot of money, and the backstabbing employees are going crazy again! However, President Pai actually lost nothing. All he lost was an opportunity to significantly increase the value of his personal property. President did not take any real risks in this process, and even gained a small amount in fact. What brings joy to book friends is the huge gap between Mr. Prefect's good expectations and the "cruel reality" 🤭 As for Lao Gu, as a chosen worker, he does not have much autonomy. He is a protagonist who can only passively see the tricks, and is pushed by the plot to run all the way. Although Lao Gu can often use his subjective initiative to make exquisite predictions, the overall situation is generally like this. And as time goes by, he can only become more and more suspicious in the eyes of Mr. Li. At least, "people have to trust their fate, and so do the devils." He is regarded as the mascot in the eyes of "other people's bosses" and the broom star of the devil company. In other words, As Lao Gu went from victory to victory again and again, his situation, instead of improving, actually got worse. From the perspective of the rationality of the work, due to the natural opposition between Lao Gu and Mr. Li, negative emotions and player experience, this is inevitable. And what about Lao Gu's income? Sorry, didn't see it. It can't be "Mr. Li is deflated again" or "I successfully received the labor remuneration and lived one more day", right? =. = In other words, before truly defeating Mr. Li and gaining freedom, Lao Gu can basically only gain emotional value. But this is completely unequal to the risk Lao Gu takes. He succeeded in walking the tightrope time and time again and achieved countless stage victories, but he could only gain emotional value. The confrontation with Mr. Li destined that as long as the game was still "rave reviews", he would never be trusted by Mr. Li, and as long as he failed once, there would be an abyss waiting for him. Problem This game is not about apocalyptic survival or supernatural escape games. The protagonists in those works face endless crises. Surviving for one more day is a victory, but what Lao Gu experiences is daily life in the city. Once he fails, the price will be his soul. And when Lao Gu achieved ultimate success, what did he gain? The life and freedom that originally belonged to him. A company that would have lost everything if he hadn't worked so hard to maintain it. On the day Lao Gu finally won, he took back what originally belonged to him. Otherwise, could he still sell Mr. Li and let Heaven really imprison her for thousands of years? What's more, even if she is really imprisoned by Heaven for thousands of years, and even expects the enemy to be lenient and lenient, President Li is instigated by Heaven to rebel, what can Lao Gu get? What's even more troublesome is that in this process, there are no quantitative intuitive benefits such as "Lao Gu gets a percentage of the stock from Mr. Li every time he makes money", or "Lao Gu's level has increased!" "New skills are obtained!" "Lao Gu gets the Sword of Apophis!" And even if only the emotional value is gained, the "result" of each stage victory that Lao Gu achieves, that is, the sense of gain brought by the refreshing point of "Mr. Li's celebration party" is gradually shrinking. Lao Gu is actually not Mr. Li's partner but just a wage earner. He has been being ordered around by Mr. Li. Whenever he succeeds, he does not gain Mr. Li's respect. Instead, he has to carefully deal with Mr. Li's suspicion and anger. Hong Kong True, even if this is a romance novel, Lilith is actually a tsundere demon who signed an "unequal agreement" with him because she fell in love at first sight in order to save Lao Gu who was in danger just after crossing over. In the end, Lao Gu won a big victory and the two of them lived a happy life without shame. Up to now, each "copy" is becoming more and more boring to read. On the one hand, there may be a misalignment between Qing Jie's writing expectations and practice. But on the other hand, the essence of becoming less and less interesting is the lowering of expectations. Due to the lowered sense of expectation, gains that are equivalent to the previous level can no longer bring the same satisfaction as before. When Lao Gu's success so far has not brought him substantial improvements or gains, but has made his situation more difficult, and it is estimated that this situation will continue, his battle has become exhausting. As a reader, I can't help but feel confused like this: I read another copy just to see how Lao Gu is usually bullied by Mr. Li, and then after he defeated Mr. Li, he was doubly bullied by Mr. Li? Then the imperial army didn't come in vain?

I thought the plot in Sister Qing's book was outrageous enough, but the reality is even more outrageous. As soon as the DNF mobile game came out, it took the first place in the negative review list of the Three Kingdoms Killer game. The Three Kingdoms Killer players are now clamoring to help Hanshi, hahaha

Not to mention the same type of "This is not a BUG, ​​this is a game feature", and the idea of ​​collecting negative emotions is really unpleasant. The last game played in this way, "The Last of Us 2", was already scolded...

There was a problem with this setting from the beginning. If it is too torturous and there is no feedback, it will not be popular at all. You just spend money to promote it, that is, a few anchors will play it, and players will not touch it. Then when the second game is released, others will know that the same company will not even watch it. If you change companies, others will know who you are. If the reputation is bad, no one will play it.

， First of all, the character design of President Li is actually quite poor. This kind of enslavement forces the protagonist to be the villain in other types of books to promote the climax, but not in this book. Therefore, even if there is a pot-sharing meeting to make her suffer, readers still find it disgusting: a buffoon is oppressing the protagonist, or even exiles the protagonist, while the protagonist can only stab her in the back, which is too little fun. Secondly, there is no point in using the main line of collecting negative emotions in the game. If you really want to earn negative emotions, just design a few top 2 games. No matter how many patches you apply, you can't hide the fact that there are actually a hundred ways to disgust players. The simplest one is to design a good plot and then destroy it all and get out of the circle. Finally, the reader's sense of substitution is not enough. The protagonist of this book is essentially a slave, so this book actually has a bit of mainstream abuse content. In contrast, Mr. Pei is the protagonist of Bai Shuang's article. Mr. Pei can eat well and sleep in a good house even if he does not make money. But is the protagonist of this book okay? No matter how good the game is, what does it have to do with the protagonist? He's just a slave to the devil

Treat Party A as a fool, and the setting of "decent" and "villain" is like a joke. The protagonist does very little to achieve the goal and does not work very hard. The author just forces the protagonist to win. Seeing repeated plots of Lilith's failure will not make you happy at all, but will make you feel sympathy.

Is this a purely abusive article? Are you giving the devil too much power? Lilith wants to replace people for the company, she wants to design whatever she wants, and she has to find faults everywhere. The protagonist can't resist and can only make small moves. The situation itself is very uncomfortable. You also give him an angel to increase the pressure? Adding it once here is not enough. Do we need to replace the protagonist and add another one? Is it possible that the devil will be able to disband the company later? Where do you want readers to put themselves? Take on the role of the protagonist? The main character is a grandson. , The protagonist makes Lilith deflated. Will being deflated like this do him any good? At the beginning, it was possible to ask the protagonist to change his chair to improve his quality of life, but the chair was always being robbed. Later, he only improved his quality of life once and for all. Readers are very tired at work, so don't let them see others continue to be exploited after get off work. Or do you want the readers to become the devil? The devil is deflated, and each deflation does not have a big impact on the devil. Lilith can always escape from Lucifer. As the villain in the book and the final boss, she is punished too little every time something goes wrong. It was obvious that she was the fault every time and she basically acted like a normal person. How about joining the angel side? The angel side has been winning, winning, oh, no, they are also suffering. They have won positive emotions, but their reputation has been damaged. And are you serious about the character of Angel? What does it mean: "I can make heaven refuse to sign you." Instead of wooing those who can help you, you threaten them? It's poisonous, yes. In reality, it's even more outrageous than this, but the negative feedback you wrote in the book will ultimately be felt by the readers. The protagonist is already in a difficult situation, and you still have to put pressure on him. Or are you asking readers to pretend to be other employees? Yes, other employees do have good welfare benefits, but your operation of replacing the protagonist is too outrageous. Let me give you an example. You work in a company, and your Party A is a very smart person. Then every time Party A makes outrageous demands, your big boss resists the pressure and finds a way to deal with Party A and sell the product. As a result, Party A was dissatisfied with your leader and changed your leader, and then the pressure suddenly fell on you. So now you have two choices. One is to make things well, and then Party A will be dissatisfied with you, and you may be replaced in the end, which is very difficult to do well. The other is not to make things well, Party A will be very satisfied with you, but you will not get the money, and the company may go bankrupt in the end. You choose. When you see this, will your blood pressure rise? Of course, it's okay if the book doesn't have positive feedback from the protagonist. You can make the game in the book interesting, but ask yourself, is the game you wrote really interesting? Will anyone really want to play? The first game, is it fun to turn bullets? Fun, but can everyone do it? No, in the end this game will become a toy for the big guys, and ordinary players will become a toy for the big guys, and then they will continue to retreat. As an ordinary player, will you be happy to play it? The second game is also average. Digging is already a very good game. You just added the original ejection and stretching operations of Digging to the dragon's flapping wings. It's novel, but it's just average. The third game is very good. It is interesting for the audience to watch and for players to play. It has various program effects and is nonsensical enough. It is the most enjoyable chapter I have ever watched. The fourth game. . . The fourth game is equivalent to you spending a lot of energy on pre-requisite tasks, and then the guidance is particularly poor. The buildings may be very good, but its pre-requisite is terrible, and it is very unfriendly to lone wolves. If there are other alternatives on the market, and I am not a die-hard fan of this game company, why should I play it? And let's talk about something that's hard to define. If your game is particularly shitty and some of its functions are particularly good, someone will definitely activate it at this time. If it really doesn't work, there is still MC. Why don't I just create and build it directly? Oh, yes, as a creative game, there is no creative mode or administrator toolbar. . . The fifth game is very interesting. It makes people want to play it just looking at it. It has different endings, different branches, alternating two worlds, and the irreconcilable ascension of machinery and flesh and blood. There are both program effects and gameplay. You can suffer or choose not to suffer. Players can choose to cooperate or cheat each other. This is very interesting and should be a favorite of many players. Of course, I am a player and a reader, and I have my subjective bias. I will question the content I don't like. For example, I am very bad at FPS, but there may be FPS masters who like the first game, and there may be iron-blooded builders who like the fourth game, so this does not represent everyone, nor can it represent it, but I think some readers will have similar feelings to me. I don't say this just for the sake of stacking up, and if you have any objections, you can post them in the comment area, but I do feel that this book is not as interesting as The Richest Man even if it is not entertaining. I can understand that the author wants to make a counter-routine of "bugs become the core gameplay" and "actually I wrote the bugs", but at present, the protagonist's position is indeed too weak. I haven't read it since the protagonist was changed. If there is anything later, I will continue to add.

After losing money and becoming the richest man, this is the fourth book. I feel that the author wanted to find a new direction to break through, but undoubtedly failed, so he wrote back to this routine. It still doesn't feel as amazing as Mr. Pei, and it's not even as good as the eunuch's virtual end...
