Chapter 1182 Dissuade a company again
After seeing Lao Liu away, Tang Yishu returned to her work station.
"How is the situation?" Li Yada asked.
Tang Yishu hesitated for a moment: "There are a little more bugs in this game...so I asked him to go back and change it, and come back after the bug is corrected."
Li Yada was a little surprised: "Ah? Isn't this game already online? Why are there still many bugs?"
"Isn't this reasonable?"
Tang Yishu pointed at the opponent: "I don't know this, I don't know either."
Li Yada nodded: "Maybe the outside companies are not as good as Tengda in all aspects, so the testing team is not very powerful. It's okay, you're doing it right."
"It is normal for a game to have one or two bugs, but there are so many bugs that affect the normal game process. This only means that the company's work is not done properly, the testing department is not conscientious, and there are problems with internal management."
"If there are so many bugs that affect the normal experience of players, it should not be put on the shelves, but should be modified until there are no bugs before uploading them. It is correct to persuade them to withdraw."
"It's okay, this is just one company, let's take a look at another one."
Having said that, Li Yada inexplicably had a bad premonition.
Because the first company was at least a game that had been put on the shelves, logically speaking, there should be relatively few bugs.
The second company's game is still under development.
Although this game called "Blade of Empire" has been almost done, only the final finishing work is left, and the testing work is definitely in progress, but the completeness is definitely not as good as those projects that have been launched.
There are high probability that there are more bugs than the previous copycat "Heroic Battle Song" of "Hot Blooded Battle Song".
Then the question is.
Is it because I am not lucky and the game I encountered happened to have a bug. Is this an accident?
Or are the game companies outside the world like this?
Li Yada went to Tengda to work not long after he entered the industry, so he didn't have much experience working in other companies.
In her impression, Tengda's game seems to have not been bothered by bugs.
During each research and development period, bugs will spring out like mushrooms after a rain. The testing department keeps asking for bugs and the development department keeps repairing. Generally, before the game goes online, bugs will basically be repaired.
Even if some subsequent modifications are required after going online, the workload is often not very large.
Therefore, she always felt that changing the bug is nothing more than a physical job. If the bug has not been corrected when the game is online, it can only mean that there is a problem with the attitude.
If you can't even do this kind of physical work well, what's wrong with your attitude?
But now it seems that these companies outside seem to be not very good?
"Forget it, I don't want this anymore. It might have been just a chance before, how could every company not fix the bug?"
Li Yada felt that she was overthinking, so she shook her head and stopped thinking, but continued to do her own thing.
...
After Tang Yishu waited at the work station for more than an hour, the boss of the second company arrived on time.
Tang Yishu still invited him to the conference room according to the previous procedure.
"Hello, Director Tang."
"My name is Yan Qi. My information about our company and my personal resume have been sent before."
Tang Yishu nodded: "Yeah, I've seen it, please sit down."
After Old Liu left, Tang Yishu carefully read the information given by Li Yada. This time it was very time-consuming, so I remembered it all.
Yan Qi and his company can basically be seen as a microcosm of many mobile game startups.
He used to be the mastermind planning for a game company in Magic City, and the project he led was successful, but the boss was too stingy and had a net income of six or seven million a month. As a result, the entire project team did not pay a penny bonus.
The boss called it: use the money you earn to advertise and make more money.
I also drew a cake by the way, saying that the money I earned from the game after a few months of advertising may double, and everyone will give me a large bonus.
Yan Qi has been in the workplace for two or three years, so how could he not know how excessive this cake was, so he ran away decisively?
On the day he resigned, he knew that he was doing the right thing because the boss just verbally tried to keep it, and did not mention the salary increase or bonus.
It can be seen that this boss doesn't care whether the employees are leaving.
This is a normal phenomenon. After all, the game has been made. You can earn millions per month by stable operation. Is it important whether employees can run away?
After running a master planner, I will just ask you again in the future. Anyway, there is no shortage of people in this industry.
After resigning, Yan Qi no longer wanted to be a senior worker for others, so he had the idea of starting a company by himself.
He is from Jingzhou. He heard that Jingzhou has developed very well in the past two years and the game entrepreneurial environment is also good. So he attracted several friends from the industry to come to Jingzhou, established a new mobile game company, and obtained millions of venture capital from some local investors in Jingzhou.
After working on it for half a year, the game was made.
The game he made is called "Blade of Empire", which is an arpg mobile game, which is an action game.
Logically speaking, the threshold for this type of game type is relatively high and is not suitable for startups. However, thanks to the official editor and Yan Qi's previous work experience, the development is quite smooth.
Of course, due to investment limitations, it is definitely not particularly excellent, but Yan Qi feels that his own game is of good quality, and it should be no problem to make some money after it is put on the shelves, so it should be no problem to support the company.
For most mobile game startups, the idea of getting rich overnight may be too unrealistic. The first thing you should consider is how to survive.
The game is about to be developed, and Yan Qi has also contacted many game channels.
For small companies, the more channels they go to, the better. As for the proportion of the share, don’t think too much, and you can get as much as you give. Small companies basically have no say.
So, I heard that there is a new game platform in Jingzhou, and it is quite close to the office location of his company. Yan Qi was very happy and came immediately.
"This is the internal beta version of our game. Currently, only a small number of players are playing. But Director Tang, don't worry, there are few bugs and it will basically not affect the normal game process."
Tang Yishu nodded and took the phone.
"Okay. Mr. Yan, this is the agreement, you can take a look first."
"If you are satisfied with the terms of the agreement and the number of bugs that appear in the game within half an hour does not exceed three, then we can sign the contract today."
Yan Qi took the agreement and felt a little surprised.
It's that simple?
He has also negotiated with other channels, and even these channel dealers are more and more powerful than each other.
Some give very low share, while others require major changes to the game. Anyway, all of them have put forward conditions, but some are very excessive and some are relatively good.
Like Chaolu Game Platform, he has never seen a channel that requires no more than three bugs within half an hour.
Half an hour? Three bugs?
Yan Qi thinks there should be no problem, right?
I have built a WeChat official account [Book Friends Base Camp] to send you year-end benefits! You can go and have a look!
Although the game "Blade of Empire" has not been officially launched yet and has many bugs, these bugs are basically concentrated in some mid- and late-stage large-scale levels and in-depth gameplay.
In half an hour, it was basically just the early stage.
When developing and testing this game, because it is necessary to optimize the guidance of novices, the previous content has been modified many times, and the bugs are the least.
Yan Qi felt that as long as he was not particularly memorized, he should not encounter three bugs in a row within half an hour, right?
One of these two people tried the game, and the other looked at the terms of the agreement. The reception room temporarily quieted down, leaving only the fighting sound effects in the game.
Yan Qi just looked at the beginning and saw that the two sides had a 50% share of money, and Tang Yishu had already encountered the first bug.
The novice's guide was directly stuck. During the guidance process, there would be a gray mask on the screen, highlighting the place where the player wants to click and indicating it with an arrow. After clicking the button, the mask did not disappear normally, and the screen remained in a gray translucent state.
"Ah..."
Yan Qi was a little embarrassed.
It’s not that there is anything strange about encountering a bug, the key is that it’s too fast!
Moreover, the newbie's guide to a bug, let alone he has never encountered it, even the testing team of their company has not encountered it.
Before Yan Qi could explain, Tang Yishu had already skillfully turned off the game process and re-entered.
"It's okay, just keep reading the agreement."
Yan Qi had a vague premonition, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only continue to read the agreement carefully.
...
Half an hour later, Yan Qi had already carefully looked at the agreement twice, and the number of bugs found by Tang Yishu was finally settled.
Within half an hour, Tang Yishu found twelve large and small bugs!
There are four very serious bugs here, and once they appear, the game process cannot continue to be promoted. Although the consequences of the remaining bugs are not that serious, they also have a very bad impact on the game experience.
Yan Qi couldn't hold on his face anymore.
There are too many bugs, what's the situation!
He even doubted whether the program on his phone was installed incorrectly. He did not install the stable version, but brought the development version.
Otherwise, how could the stable version have so many bugs in the early stage?
This is simply unreasonable!
Tang Yishu seemed to have expected this result, so she handed her phone back: "It's okay, Mr. Yan, it's normal for a game to have bugs. If you go back and modify it, as long as you can control the number of bugs within half an hour to less than three, we will sign the agreement."
"By the way, you have read all the contents of the agreement? Do you still feel satisfied?"
Yan Qi nodded: "Satisfied, what can I feel dissatisfied? This condition is already very good for us."
"Don't worry, I have remembered all the bugs you encountered. Let them hurry up and modify them when they go back!"
"Change bugs is our duty, and we even have to thank you. If we hadn't happened to encounter these bugs, we might not have known that there were bugs in this place."
"If these bugs are officially launched, the losses will be huge."
Yan Qi thanked Tang Yishu very much and left with his cell phone.
Chapter completed!
