When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay

So far, there is only one game mechanism left that can create a big obstacle to players.

That is "earthquake".

Angels will still regularly cause earthquakes to collapse buildings built by players.

But the problem is that the triggering of the earthquake depends on the player's construction process of official buildings. If the player controls not to build new official buildings, then the earthquake will never be triggered!

It’s over, everything is lost!

At this time, a lot of positive emotions are already being recorded. In other words, negative emotions are flying high!

"Gu Fan! How are you going to explain now!!"

Lilith is very angry, and the consequences... may not be serious.

Gu Fan had already expected this.

Oh, devil.

Previously, Michelangelo tried to dig a hole underground to cross the high wall of the Kingdom of God. If Gu Fan hadn't extended the wall all the way to the depths of the ground, the player would have been able to escape in an easier way.

Lilith was still very moved at the time, as if she regarded Gu Fan as a loyal minister, and said that if the Negative Emotions Office grows in size and rewards are given based on merit, Gu Fan must be number one.

But now?

After discovering a new bug, I immediately turned my back on him.

It can only be said that the devil's mouth is a deceitful ghost. No matter how much Lilith acts like she has been deceived, the suspicion in her bones can never be eliminated.

He said he believed Gu Fan, but in fact he still didn't believe it at all. Whenever a new bug appeared, Gu Fan would blame him again.

Fortunately, Gu Fan is already familiar with this.

He had already memorized the 8 bugs this time on his computer and calmly brought them to Lilith.

"Okay, then let's go through it one by one. I will never refuse the pot that belongs to me, but if it is not my pot, I will never admit it!"

It was another exciting sharing pot meeting.

…

Gu Fan first pointed to the first BUG.

"First of all, after the player captures the loser, the loser can still climb the wall. This is obviously a problem in your design, right?"

Lilith subconsciously retorted: "Why?!"

Gu Fan was prepared and opened the design draft so that the two documents could be displayed side by side.

"You made it very clear when you designed these three skills of Fire Thief: they are all useless skills!

“So, the Comedian attracts monsters, and the Mimic can only imitate his teammates’ actions, right?

“As for grappling, this is obviously the most practical skill, so I wrote that ‘grab’ is a very soft control effect that can only lift small and medium-sized monsters and get their feet off the ground.

“However, all their other movements are not affected!

"So, this thing can climb the wall, doesn't it completely conform to the design concept of your design draft?"

Lilith opened her mouth slightly, not knowing how to refute for a moment.

really!

When she designed these three skills, she designed them in the direction of "the least useful". As the most practical skill, grappling naturally suffered the most restrictions.

Even Lilith has imagined a scenario in which the player is attacked and killed by the monster after controlling the monster. That will definitely generate a lot of negative emotions!

Unexpectedly, he missed the problem of people who lose their minds climbing the wall?

Wait, who wrote the setting that the heartless will climb the wall?

Oh, it’s me too, that’s okay.

Although the suggestion of the Lost Heart was made by Gu Fan, when setting up the monster Heartless in God's country, Lilith felt that the combat power of this thing was too weak. Even if there was a numerical advantage, it would be difficult to pose a big threat to the players. .

So I slapped my head and added a wall-climbing skill to them.

This is also to enhance the monster's mobility and create more trouble for players.

After thinking about it, it seems that it is indeed a design problem...

Lilith coughed twice: "Ahem, then this is barely a design problem, next one!"

Gu Fan looked at the second BUG.

"The heartless ones in the Kingdom of God can inherit the player's profession and use the skills of the Fire Stealer."

This time, before Gu Fan could analyze it, Lilith said with a dark face: "Okay, this is also a design problem, next one!"

In fact, Lilith had thought about this at first. If she had specifically added the sentence "Those who have lost their minds cannot use any skills" in the design draft, it would not be so troublesome.

But the problem was that at that time, Lilith didn't think there was any problem with this at all.

These three skills are pretty rubbish to begin with and should not have any serious consequences. And even if the lost person obtains skills, it will only cause greater trouble to the players. Is there any need to restrict it?

Therefore, the blame cannot be placed on Gu Fan.

Gu Fan continued to read the third article: "During the integration of the Heaven Guard and the Heartless One, the player remains in the capture state and can capture the Heaven Guard.

"Well... let's just say the design and programming are half done by one person.

"Your design draft didn't include how to deal with this situation, and I ignored it.

"But in any case, looking at this alone, it is not actually a vicious BUG. After all, the player's capture time is limited, and once the Heaven Guard is out of the player's control, it can no longer be captured."

Lilith nodded: "Okay."

Gu Fan continued reading: "The fourth BUG is that after players leave the Kingdom of God, they can build freely without restrictions.

"There is also a sixth BUG. Players can extend a piece of material from the city wall into the Kingdom of God.

"These two bugs are essentially the same, and I don't think it's my problem."

Lilith's voice suddenly rose: "Why?"

Gu Fan explained: "It's very simple. I set the entire Kingdom of God as an area where construction is prohibited. The specific method of prohibition is that as long as the player is in this area, the construction system cannot be activated.

"This is the safest way to restrict it, okay?"

Lilith nodded: "Yeah, no problem."

Gu Fan continued: "So the sixth BUG is that the player activates the construction system at the border, and then selects the longest construction voxel to extend into the prohibited construction area. This is originally a gameplay within the rules. Strictly speaking, it is not actually a It's a BUG, ​​but it's combined with the BUG of "The Heartless Climb the Wall", which makes it easier for players to jailbreak.

“This can’t be my problem, right?

"If I use other methods to restrict players from building, for example, things built in China will directly collapse and disappear. Not to mention that it will look very strange and inconsistent with the story background of the game. If any new BUG is induced, it will cause What should I do if the labyrinth building in the Kingdom of God is also broken and it is easier for players to obtain materials?

"Of course, there is another reason for the fourth BUG, ​​that is, the supervision of the supervisor only targets the hard workers, not the fire thieves. I think this is completely understandable, right? Because the hard workers and the fire thieves are two different identities. If the supervisor As for the fire thief, if the player is selected as the fire thief and it goes up and beats the player to death, wouldn’t it be all chaos?”

Lilith frowned. It was obvious that her brain was working rapidly.

But after a long time, she was still defeated, as if cold water had been poured on the overheated CPU: "Okay, then these two bugs are not your problem..."

Gu Fan continued: "Article 5: When a retired player logs in twice in a row and an unintentional player escapes from prison and goes to the Kingdom of God, the player will be reborn on it.

“There is also Article 8. A skilled loser can imitate the hard work of a loser.

"These two items can also be classified into the same category. In the final analysis, all heartless people are regarded as the same type of creatures by default. There is no essential distinction between the heartless people inside the wall and the heartless people outside the wall.

"As I said before, the design and programming are half and half. You didn't write it, and I didn't think of this problem, so I just adopted a relatively simple implementation method.

"After all, how could I have predicted that a heartless person in the Kingdom of God would use such a bizarre and tortuous way to escape from the Kingdom of God?

“Finally, it’s Article 7. Players control the Heaven Guard to kill the Overseer.

"This...even if it's my fault, it's really an oversight.

“I just adjusted an attribute for Overwatch that completely overwhelms all players, but I didn’t expect the players to drive the Heaven Guard over.

“If the overseer is directly set to be invincible, or can be resurrected infinitely, this BUG may be avoided.

"But you have also seen that for this supervisor, we did not even make the voice or animation when being hit or killed. Obviously, everyone on the production team did not expect that this thing could be killed..."

Lilith frowned, but finally nodded.

Indeed, whether this overseer is beaten or dies, there is no animation or feedback, which shows that the production team did not expect this situation.

After all, God is working hard abroad and there is no attack button at all. How can he pose a threat to the supervisor?
