This book is also known as: "How Programmers Can Turn a Garbage Game into a Timeless Classic with a Bug" Recently, Gu Fan, president of Reverse Paradise Games, has once again fallen from grace due to a minor bug in a new game. As a top designer in the industry, all the games designed by Gu Fan have very distinctive characteristics: At first, players thought these games were all boring and monotonous, and were just trash games that disgusted players. However, after players discovered a major bug, the gameplay of these games underwent a dramatic change, making them so addictive that players forgot to eat and sleep and couldn't put them down! As a result, players once again engaged in a heated discussion about whether this was a bug or a game mechanic. In response, Gu Fan solemnly clarified the matter in an interview: "Hello everyone, I am game designer Gu Fan. You can also call me by my English name: fan·gu (rebellious bone)." "I hereby solemnly declare that these so-called 'core gameplay' features were not originally designed by our company; they are all bugs! We simply did not fix them because players liked them!"
