This is not a BUG, this is a game feature

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Tianba Studio was on holiday.

Chen Ba also packed his luggage and boarded the flight home for the New Year. He stayed with his old father at home for half a month.

No show-offs, no relatives to borrow money...

nonsense!

No one in the village knew what Chen Ba was doing outside. When he didn't come back for the New Year last year, the villagers thought he had become a son-in-law.

It's not like no one came to inquire. After all, the Chen family was going to build a new house after the Chinese New Year, and the news had already spread throughout the village. Everyone is very curious, what kind of business is this guy Chen Ba doing outside? It seems that he is quite profitable?

"Just open an online store!"

"I thought you were running a company, but it turns out you're opening an online store! So what do you sell in your store?"

"Selling some rice specialties, what about 3090, 4090..."

Most of the uncles and aunts in the village have never gone to school, and a few of them are in elementary school or high school, and have never used a computer. Even if I tell them about graphics cards and GPUs, they don't understand.

Chen Ba simply said it was a local specialty of America, so everyone would understand.

The young people in the village knew what the 3090 and 4090 Chen Ba was talking about, but they were too high-end and they couldn't afford them.

Who in the Chen family... has opened an online store outside, and I heard it sells American local specialties! It’s delicious. Have you tried it?

Facing these people in the village, Chen Ba only said that he had opened an online store, but did not disclose the information about Tianba Studio.

It’s not that wealth is not revealed in vain.

The main reason is that the explanation is not clear, and in the eyes of these villagers, video games are harmful things, and may even damage their father's reputation.

The most important thing is, what if he reveals that he has opened a company outside, and people in the village come asking for a job?

"You did the right thing!"

When Chen Ba returned to Jiangning after the New Year, Yang Dong, who learned about his experience, laughed and said, "It's useless to tell them that. Just say that you can open an online store outside."

This is the truth!

Isn’t Xianyu Digital an online store? Isn't Chen Ba the owner of this store? As long as these are true, it’s not lying!

"Okay, let's not talk about this."

After finding a place to put the bacon, sausages and glutinous rice cakes and peppers stuffed by his father, Chen Ba hosted the first meeting of the studio after the new year.

The content of the meeting is very simple.

The development progress of the new game "God's Grace Continent" needs to be accelerated, and we strive to release an early trial version next month.

Next is the game announcement!

For several previous games, including "Star Emperor", due to the studio's lack of money, there was basically no publicity or promotion before the game was released.

Even if there were, it would only involve a few anchors trying it out, and the coverage would not be wide.

This time it’s time to get real!

Relying on the continued sales of the previous games and the additional income from Xianyu Digital, Tianba Studio has money in its pocket and does not need to be as careful as before.

"The Steam platform will give us a round of recommendations for new games, but subsequent recommendations will depend on the number of people on the wishlist."

A round of recommendations is to give face.

As for subsequent recommendations, it depends on the number of people added to the wish list. The more people add to the wishlist, the more interested players there are, and the more recommendations the platform will give.

It is worth noting that "God's Grace Continent" has now been launched on the steam platform, but it cannot be purchased and can only be added to the wish list. This is why Chen Ba is particularly concerned about the number of people on the wish list.

Because the number of players adding wishlists can basically reflect the popularity of the game and its expected sales data.

"After the early access version is released, place some ads on short video platforms, live broadcast platforms and major game information websites."

Chen Ba said with some pain: "Don't sign a contract that is too big. Try the promotion effect for a while. If the effect is not good, we will withdraw. There is no need to invest all the money..."

Making money is not easy either.

Xianyu Digital changed the graphics card. Although the business was okay, the store was opened for a short time and it did not make much money.

These few advertising spaces alone will contribute to at least half a year of Xianyu Digital's profit. Although Chen Ba is not stingy, he will inevitably feel distressed.

He hasn’t bought a house or a car yet!

It's okay if "God's Grace Continent" makes money, but it would be terrible if it doesn't make money. Not to mention Tianba Studio closing down, it will take at least half a year of hard life to recover.

"How was the testing session?"

After talking about the follow-up arrangements, what Chen Ba is most concerned about and cares about the most is the game testing.

New games must have bugs!

This is inevitable. He just hopes that there will not be too many bugs and that the difficulty of repairing will be low, so as not to increase the workload too much.

"Fortunately, there are about 17 game bugs that have been verified during the testing phase, and 12 of them simple bugs have been fixed in time..."

Having said this, Xiao Lu scratched his head and said, "But the remaining 5 bugs are a bit difficult to fix, and they won't be solved for a while."

"Are there any serious bugs? For example, the cow herding incident in "Hanchuang Kudu Simulator" is a bug that can change the nature of the game!" Chen Ba asked.

"There is one!"

Xiao Lu said happily: "The bug caused by the favorability system, under special circumstances, wild monsters can actually be captured by players and then follow them."

"If this bug is extended and expanded, I'm afraid even the Demon King will not be able to escape..."

Chen Ba’s eyes lit up.

Okay, okay, Xiao Lu, you did a good job!

He guessed that the system was dishonest and was definitely laying a trap for him, so he did not dare to relax for a moment during the Chinese New Year, and often thought about possible bugs in "God's Grace Continent" at home.

Don't ask. If you ask, you will be afraid of being tricked by the system.

As the saying goes, one learns from one's mistakes. Chen Ba has been tricked by the Tiehanhan system so many times. If he doesn't have a longer memory, will he still be a normal person?

Now you can rest assured.

Chen Bazhang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This bug... is of a very bad nature and must be fixed and adjusted in time. It must not appear in the early access version."

Finally got a good night's sleep.

He had been worried before that whether the new game would hide vicious bugs, and what secret mines had the Tiehanhan system secretly planted?

Well done Xiao Lu!

The nature of this bug is very bad. If even the Demon King is admitted into the harem by the Brave Raiders, then is it "the Brave Fighting the Demon King" or "the Brave Man soaking up the Demon King"?

If Xiao Lu hadn't discovered...

Chen Ba was secretly glad that thanks to Xiao Lu's sharp eyes, if this was not discovered in time, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Xiao Lu's bonus is doubled this month!"

"As we all know, Xiao Lu has been working hard since he joined the company. He wakes up earlier than a chicken and goes to bed later than a dog, so his salary should also be increased..."

With a wave of his hand, Chen Ba not only gave Xiao Lu a double bonus, but also publicly praised his hard work and expressed that he would give him a salary increase.

This bug was discovered too timely.

As a hero, of course he wanted to reward him. Without Xiao Lu's help, how could he have seen through the system's conspiracy?
