Generally speaking, the work progress of the R&D team of a game company will be one or even two versions faster than the game content that players play.

For example, if the version that players are playing is 1.01, then the test server should already be testing the game content of 1.02, the development team should be developing the game content of 1.03, and the development plan of 1.04 has been put on the agenda.

Of course, these are some games with frequent version updates.

But even for games that don't update as often, the development team plans to develop at least one version faster than what current players are playing.

After the development of the game is completed, of course, it is necessary to quickly enter the next stage of development, otherwise the project team will have nothing to do during this time?

Therefore, based on his previous work experience, Huang Sibo felt that it was time to set the next stage of R&D plan, which was his job as the executive planner.

There is no time when Mr. Pei urges the development of the next version, and Huang Sibo starts to arrange, which is a serious work mistake.

Bao Xu had no opinion on this, and raised his hands in agreement.

"But now the question is...... I didn't know what plan to make, I didn't even know how to revise it, and I had no direction. Huang Sibo spoke out about his troubles.

The new version is nothing more than two parts, one is a fix and the other is an improvement.

On the one hand, it fixes some bugs, loopholes and irrationalities that originally existed in the game, and on the other hand, develops new gameplay, new maps, and new content, and improves and expands the game itself.

But the problem Huang Sibo encountered now is that "Sea Fortress" itself is already in what he and Bao Xu think is perfect, and there seem to be no bugs and design flaws that need to be fixed!

As for developing new content......

Truth be told, there's enough content right now.

There is a story mode, there is a battle mode, and there are a variety of subdivisions such as biochemical mode, ghost mode, and explosion mode in the battle mode.

There's nothing new to add just yet!

Before players are tired of playing the current game content, don't you have enough to toss new gameplay and new maps with that effort?

Bao Xu also had a little pain, which was beyond his ability.

Playing games, Bao Xu is good.

But for the planning of the game itself, Bao Xu is completely inadequate.

"I don't understand this, Brother Huang, you can watch it yourself, what do you think of this?" Bao Xu asked.

Huang Sibo thought about it for a while: "I think we should find some core players to experience the game and give us some opinions and suggestions." ”

"Brother Bao, don't get me wrong, it's not that your suggestions are not enough, it's just that after all, the authorities are fans, we still have to find as many other players as possible, the larger the sample, the more accurate the data."

Bao Xu didn't care, but nodded, feeling that what Huang Sibo said was very reasonable.

The balance and feel of the previous game all depend on Bao Xu alone.

Bao Xu felt that the ballistics of which gun needed to be changed and which action felt bad, so Huang Sibo arranged for the design team to change it immediately.

However, Bao Xu is just a person after all, no matter how powerful he is, he can only represent him personally.

With hundreds of thousands of players in the game, who can guarantee that their tastes will be representative of the majority of players?

Therefore, Huang Sibo felt that he still had to find a group of players to experience the game.

If you find a fault, you can arrange it for the next stage of the version plan to continuously optimize the game.

In this way, Huang Sibo wants to formulate the next work plan, and he has a clue.

"I agree, though, which players are you going to look for? We asked them to test the game for us for no reason, would they be willing? Do you have to pay a fee? Bao Xu asked.

"Hmm...... That's a problem. Huang Sibo frowned slightly, "I want to find a few guinea pigs." ”

……

Back at his desk, Huang Sibo was also a little worried.

Indeed, a few guinea pigs, no, a large number of guinea pigs, should be put to the test by the time of the game.

In fact, before a normal game is launched, there should be a player open beta link.

In many cases, no matter how strong the business ability of the test team is, it can't compare to those sand sculpture players with bug physique.

However, on the one hand, after the popularization of game editors and the acceleration of ESRO review, the development process of many games has become more and more compressed, and the open beta has become dispensable. On the other hand, Mr. Pei never explained that he wanted to arrange an open beta, and directly asked Huang Sibo to interrogate the game.

Therefore, "Sea Fortress" was directly hung up on the Internet, and there was no player open beta at all.

Now Huang Sibo feels that it is necessary to catch a few mice to give advice to the game, but where to catch the mice has become a big problem.

No connections, no way!

Or...... Please advise Mr. Pei?

Inappropriate.

For such a simple matter, please ask Mr. Pei, I can't afford to lose this person!

Huang Sibo repeatedly warned himself: You are now the executive mastermind!

Mr. Pei entrusted you with an important task, not because I hope you will ask him about everything like a primary school student, but because I hope that you can take charge of yourself and properly complete your own work!

Some small things, it is best to be able to handle them properly, and don't always trouble Mr. Pei.

Besides, there is no such thing as catching mice, Mr. Pei doesn't necessarily have a problem, although Mr. Pei has great powers, but he can't personally roll up his sleeves and find players to try out the game, right?

Therefore, Huang Sibo suppressed the idea of asking Pei Qian and decided that it was better to do this kind of dirty work by himself.

After trying to turn to a thousand degrees to no avail, Huang Sibo sent a message within the design team.

"I'm looking for a group of players to test the game...... Who has the way? It's best to find some fan groups who like to play FPS games, and make a wave with the group owner PY to help pull a group of guinea pigs over. ”

"Of course, we have to be funny. It's not possible to give them money, but you can give them some limited-availability guns in the game. ”

Spending money to find someone will definitely be able to find it.

But if you spend money, you have to let Mr. Pei know.

Huang Sibo felt that there was no need to trouble Mr. Pei in this matter, and it was impossible for him to post money himself, so he could only give some in-game benefits.

Although it is not very attractive to players, it ...... It's better to talk than nothing.

Soon, everyone replied.

Most of them, like Huang Sibo, have no access, don't know similar people, and don't have a similar player base.

Xiao Lu proposed that he could search for some player groups of "Anti-Terrorism Plan" to see if he could successfully blend in and have a wave with the group owner.

However, the success rate of this program is not high.

The player group who enters the house advertises and lets them play other FPS games, but they can't give enough benefits, and I'm afraid they will be kicked out on the spot by the group owner.

At this moment, Lin Wan spoke.

"Uh...... I do have the contact information of a large group of FPS game enthusiasts. They basically have one or two player groups, and there should be hundreds or thousands of players in the group. ”

Huang Sibo hurriedly asked, "Can you PY with them?" …… Oh, excuse me, let them do me a little favor. ”

Huang Sibo realized that he shouldn't be open-mouthed in front of the cute girl, and hurriedly corrected his wording.

Lin Wan didn't care: "No problem, I'm familiar with them, a matter of words." ”

Huang Sibo was a little curious: "How do you know so many FPS game enthusiasts?" ”

It's a bit unreasonable.

Lin Wan is not an FPS game lover, and even if she is, there is no reason why she would know the owners of so many FPS game groups at the same time.

Lin Wan explained: "Oh, it's because when I was interning at Tianhuo Studio, the project team specially hired a group of FPS game core players to be testers for the development of "Bullet Marks", and I was responsible for docking and liaising with them. ”
