The Ten Years of Rebirth

Chapter 110 Fruit Assassin Beta

In a blink of an eye, the time came to the morning of August 8th.

Leaning on the seat, Xu Xing let out a long sigh of relief, twisted his sore neck, and watched the opening animation of Fruit Assassin running on his phone, with a gratified smile on his face.

"Is this considered the production is complete?" Li Zhibin, who was watching the excitement, asked curiously, "The next thing is to upload to the platform?"

"It's still early." Xu Xing rolled his eyes at him, "This can only be regarded as an internal beta version, and it has to go through bug testing, modification, and perfection before it can be uploaded to make money."

"Then this game can't be played now?" Li Zhibin looked strange, "I don't see any problem."

He picked up Xu Xing's pineapple phone from the table, because he already knew how to play it before, so Li Zhibin got started very quickly.

After entering the game, there is a simple novice tutorial first, and then enters the joy of cutting melons in the infinite mode.

Needless to say, although Li Zhibin had also played the castrated version shown to him by Xu Xing before, the experience was really not comparable to the current full version.

After all, the core attraction of this game is the refreshing and vivid feeling when cutting the fruit.

To achieve this effect, the art resources of the fruit itself, the simulated gravity environment and rotation angle of the running code behind it, and the reality of the juice splashing after the fruit is cut, are matched with the corresponding cutting sound effects.

Only when all these things are integrated together can the essence of the game Fruit Assassin be fully displayed.

So much so that Li Zhibin had just played a few games, and he was already a little bit over the top. He sat on a chair beside him with his mobile phone in his hand, and began to bury his head in cutting melons.

Seeing his appearance, Xu Xing exchanged a glance with Yan Chijiu, and they both smiled knowingly.

Among the people around him who know that he makes games, Yan Chijiu has always believed that this game can succeed.

On the one hand, it was because he believed in Xu Xing, and on the other hand, because as a developer, he had a deeper understanding of the core selling points of this game, so Yan Chijiu could indeed understand the charm of the game that Xu Xing said.

As for ordinary users such as Li Zhibin and Yao Yuanyuan, no matter how gaudy Xu Xing said, it would be more realistic to play directly.

Seeing that Li Zhibin would not disturb work for the time being, Xu Xing and Yan Chijiu began to conduct bug tests on the beta version of Fruit Assassin.

This kind of small mobile game is not like a large-scale client game. Before the server is opened, it has to go through the internal test of the players, so as to collect a large amount of data and feedback, and then further optimize the game.

Even this kind of internal test can be carried out for several rounds, and the public test server will be officially launched after a year or a half of testing.

And for small mobile games like Fruit Assassin, you only need to use special bug testing software to debug, find out the corresponding problems, and then repair and improve them to ensure that there are no bugs that particularly affect the operation of the game during the running process.

This process can take a few days if it is fast, or half a month if it is slow.

After all, no programmer can guarantee that the code he typed does not have any bugs.

No matter what the program is, there will be bugs, large and small, and the purpose of testing is not to eliminate all bugs, but to ensure that these existing bugs will not cause major problems in the operation and service of the game.

The morning time passed quickly.

Li Zhibin, who was playing Fruit Assassin, accumulated a lot of points and achievements without knowing it. He thought he could exchange them for skins, but after entering the mall page, he suddenly realized that the game seems to be all in English?
Before I entered the game page and saw English, because I usually see such a UI interface when playing, so Li Zhibin didn't think much about it.

But at this moment, after finding out that the entire game is in English, Li Zhibin was a little confused.

Just at this time, Yao Yuanyuan from downstairs came upstairs to deliver lunch, and the four studio members sat around the coffee table, chatting about Fruit Assassin while eating lunch.

"To be honest, this game is really good." Li Zhibin admitted decisively that he had made a mistake in his judgment before, "At least I played it well, and I feel that many people should like it."

"Is the evaluation so high? Let me play with it later." Yao Yuanyuan asked curiously.

She also played the castrated version before, but it was only for Yan Chi's sake.

At that time, the game resources were not well integrated, and the feel and experience of playing were rather awkward. Yao Yuanyuan was curious about what the current beta version looked like.

"I think it's really okay." Li Zhibin said, and continued to analyze, "Recently, I have also watched some games on mobile phones. It seems that there are many paid games in the past, but now it seems that some small games have been changed to free. ? But Xu Xing, it seems that the skins in your game store can be exchanged for free, right? Can this still make money?"

"Didn't you realize that it's all in English?" Xu Xing stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth, and said with a glance at him.

"That's right." Li Zhibin reacted, and immediately felt strange, "Why do you make our domestic games all in English? I can understand some simple words in the game interface in English, but the words in the mall are all Many people don’t understand English at all.”

"Because I didn't plan to release this game to China first." Xu Xing said with a natural expression, "To make money from foreigners, of course it's all in English."

"What?" Li Zhibin was obviously taken aback when he heard this, "You want to send abroad?! Are you sure?"

In Li Zhibin's view, the game environment abroad is much more mature than domestic ones, and there are more big productions than one, and the game quality is far better than domestic ones.

Under such circumstances, not to mention competing abroad, it is already quite difficult to get a share of the pie in China and to maintain the studio through game profits.

Not to mention that the first game will go overseas and harvest the wallets of foreigners.

In Li Zhibin's view, this is simply a dream.

Those big game manufacturers in China can't bring their games abroad, let alone small workshops like them?

"Calm down, calm down." Xu Xing patted him on the shoulder to calm him down, "Don't be so flustered when you mention foreign countries. Of course, there are specific reasons for me to choose foreign markets for the first launch."

"It doesn't matter how many reasons there are." Li Zhibin scratched his head in distress.

Originally, after he played this game, he really found it very interesting. If it was released in China, many people should like it.

But when you think about the strength of foreign countries that can produce various large-scale 3A games, even if you take a step back, they can also make games with a wide audience like League of Legends. Fruit Assassin is too childish in front of these games.

There is even a feeling that Li Zhibin is so naive that he can't do it.

Xu Xing, who was eating at the side, saw the expression on his face, and guessed all about his thoughts.

However, Li Zhibin cannot be blamed for this. After all, it would be too embarrassing to crush a high school graduate who doesn't know much about the game market with the eyes of future generations.

Although he felt that even if he explained it clearly, he could not completely dispel the doubts of people like Li Zhibin and Yao Yuanyuan, but he still explained while eating:

"The mobile game market is different from the end game market."
