Game design: I was exposed as a spoof player

Seeing that all the team members below lowered their heads and no one spoke, Ma Jiayi became even more angry.

The game that my team spent two years building was actually defeated by a small game called [If you are a man, you will go down a hundred floors].

Forget it, I originally thought that the little game [If you are a man, go down a hundred floors] would lose popularity in a few days, and then I would make a lot of hype about [Happy Farm]. As a result, the designer designed another game called It's a small game for [Scary Granny], and it's popular again.

In the end, it goes without saying that the developmental game [Happy Farm] designed by myself was basically ignored, and the downloads were only over 20000 in a whole week.

Such bleak data led to today's company meeting to hold a denunciation meeting for himself.

If it wasn't for the fact that he still has a game that is about to be launched, the company would have fired him a long time ago.

When he thinks that the game designed by his team of hundreds of people has only over 2 downloads, while the download of "If you are a man, you will go down 150 floors" has reached [-] million downloads, Ma Jiayi gets angry.

Originally, I planned to rely on the success of the [Happy Farm] game to complete this year's performance, so as to get promoted and raise my salary, and become a member of the highest-level group of people in the company, but now... oh, Ma Jiayi Can't help but sigh again.

In the end, Ma Jiayi still couldn't hold back the resentment in his heart, and slammed the table hard.

"boom!"

"Talk, is this dumb? Isn't he usually good at talking?"

"Who gave me the swearing guarantee that our game will be popular all over the world as soon as it is released on the shelves, and it will set off an upsurge of development games in the new era. This is the achievement you gave me? You don't feel ashamed, I We are all ashamed of you."

"Hmph, I'm still a top student, this is the grade you gave me!"

After a while, a thin young man with curly hair and glasses said weakly, "Mr. Ma, we never thought that a game with such rough workmanship would actually become a hindrance to us."

Thinking of the villain wearing a beret in [If you are a man, go down a hundred floors] and the black-faced grandma in [Scary Granny], the man with glasses feels very depressed.

As long as the style of painting is not styled, as many disgusting people as you want, the result is a small game that is worthless in my opinion, but it has set off a nationwide craze, and the trend has not stopped until now, but it is getting more and more crazy .

And the game that my company has spent two years on, is actually deflated in front of this kind of inconspicuous little game?

In the beginning, no one on the team thought their game would fail.

Shuangma Games is one of the top three game companies in China.

The team configuration is complete, including planning, 3D rendering, programming, art and so on.

Originally thought that only two other companies would bring trouble to him, not such a small game that had no signs of development before.

Just a villain keeps moving left and right, just to try to jump to the next floor.

Why can't the man with glasses think of it?Just such a small game that looks very sandy and disgusting, how can it set off an upsurge?

And the other [Grandma Horror], it's just to scare people, okay, it's obviously a horror game, why can it be a big hit.

You must know that before the game [Horror Granny] came out, many game companies also found a new way to try horror games, and the final result was just to replenish the game library of Changyou platform. (Just like many novels that are not popular on the novel platform, they are just generating electricity for love.)
At this moment, the man with glasses is a little skeptical about life. Could it be that small games are the ultimate way out?Is the direction I have been insisting on before is wrong?

He doubts life, and Ma Jiayi, the project leader, doubts life even more.

How did such a small game with no special effects achieve such an exaggerated download volume?
Moreover, two consecutive mini-games have been promoted by Changyou platform.

The more he thought about it, the more irritable he became, Ma Jiayi slammed the table again.

"The bonus is gone, the performance is gone, go back and think about it for me, where did we fail this time? I will see each person's reflection draft of no less than 3000 words tomorrow morning."

"Ah?" Hearing this, all the members below looked like cocks whose feathers had been plucked, without a trace of passion.

It's been so many years since I graduated, and I'm not in school, so it's like doing a self-criticism.

After a while, Ma Jiayi looked at the team members who had no fighting spirit, shook his head, and let out a long sigh.

"The occurrence of this situation is something none of us want to see. I hope that everyone in the team will keep it in mind! Don't let the same situation happen again, otherwise our department will be eliminated!"

"Okay, everyone cheer up and prepare for the next plan. How is the test of our other game going?"

Hearing Ma Jiayi's words, everyone off the field breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there is still a chance, before Ma Jiayi said this, everyone was worried that they would lose their jobs. After all, in a big company like Shuangma Games, survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest are the only indicators of the company.

And their other game is an island pixel game, which is also a development game, but it is more open.

Since pixel games like "If you're a man, go down a hundred floors" can become a hit, there shouldn't be any mishaps in this developmental pixel game that I'm about to debug.

If it doesn’t work, I will catch up with the progress recently and add some other ways to play on the island to add more fun.

Of course, more importantly, they want to get back their confidence and their dignity.

After all, it is unbearable to be rubbed on the ground with a spoof game by an independent game producer as a staff member of a major game company.

So, no matter what, their next game can't fail, so as to prove their worth.

"Mr. Ma, the debugging is almost done now, and some content and graphics need to be optimized. If it goes well, we can put it on the shelves in a week, but before putting it on the shelves, I suggest that we hold a brainstorming meeting and think about how to make it in our current situation. Some new gameplays have been added to some game frameworks." The man with glasses boldly spoke up this time, and his voice raised a lot.

"How about adding a competition mode? Like a Lego stacking competition on a show?" Another member of the team offered his opinion.

"Yes, but we'd better keep the open mode and not restrict the player's thinking."

"But if that's the case, what criteria should we use to judge?"

"We can also use the survival mode to get some pixelated monsters to open houses, and players can increase their sense of refreshment by protecting their homes."

"But in this case, the workload we need will be greatly increased, and the launch may have to be delayed by one month."

"No, it must be on the shelves within half a month. I have signed a life and death certificate." Ma Jiayi protested.

What a joke, after a month, even if the game is developed, the day lily will be cold.

I have worked hard in Shuangma Game Company for 15 years, and I will never allow such a situation to happen.

"Then we can add a checkpoint mode, add some grinding modules on the basis of the cultivation category, and add some settings."

……

A group of people began to discuss frantically, and everyone did not want the same incident to happen again.

Otherwise, there is really no place to put the face.
