When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 474 Production Line

At night, in the Against the Heaven game conference room.

“Here’s an idea for a new game, take a look at it.

"Gu Fan, don't say anything! You are no longer in charge of the game department, so don't comment on the specific design of the game. Let our new producer speak."

Lilith stared at Gu Fan warily.

Gu Fan was a little nervous, but still nodded: "Of course, President Li, I should not meddle in other people's affairs. I have always been very clear about my responsibilities at work."

Lilith nodded: "You better be!"

Gu Fan smiled secretly in his heart. It was obvious that Lilith was now wary of him, but he had no choice but to do it.

In fact, if Lilith was more assertive, she could have chosen to simply have Gu Fan not participate in any aspect of the game development, not even in the discussion of design plans.

But Lilith still hopes that Gu Fan can produce some physical products to match the game.

After all, since Gu Fan took over the physical department, the products developed are indeed good, which makes Lilith quite satisfied.

Although these physical products all failed later, it was not entirely due to problems with the products themselves, but because the failure of the games led to the failure of the physical products as well, which was a kind of chain reaction.

So in terms of physical products, Lilith still wants to give Gu Fan some more chances and observe.

Of course, Lilith also vaguely expected Gu Fan to give some good suggestions. After her "wise" screening, perhaps these opinions could still play a role.

Hence this rather awkward situation.

Allow Gu Fan to attend the meeting as an observer, but he cannot express any opinions yet. Let others speak first.

After reducing the weight of Gu Fan's speech, Lilith felt that she was back to normal.

Gu Fan, Zhou Yang, Wei Chengjie and Su Tong began to check out Lilith's new idea.

At this time, Zhou Yang and Wei Chengjie had also rushed back from other places. They still had to lead the outsourcing team to cooperate in the development of new games, and of course they also had to participate in the design of the new games.

But it is obvious that the protagonist of this speech must be Su Tong.

However, while everyone was looking at the ideas, Lilith was frowning slightly and lost in thought.

If...Suppose...

What if Su Tong is also a traitor?
Then try to choose a new person to take over as producer?

but……

If this is true, is there anyone in the entire Against Heaven who can be truly trusted?
How about finding a producer from outside? Or just transfer Qin Fengliang over?

It doesn't seem very reliable...

Lilith doesn't really want to find a new producer from outside, and doesn't want to make a major reshuffle, because that will seriously slow down the development of the game. If the game is delayed and not launched, won't the negative emotions earned in the early stage also be delayed?

In this state of uncertainty, Lilith couldn't help but wish to just become a paperhanger to get by.

Gu Fan was originally quite relaxed, but when he saw this idea, he inexplicably felt a chill down his spine.

what's the situation?
Is Li always calling on me?
A leader and a bureaucrat, isn't this hinting at a situation that goes against heaven?
Isn't this the standard way of playing the insider? It's just like playing yourself.

But soon, Gu Fan adjusted his mentality.

The problem is not big.

What if she clicked on me? Li had been suspicious of me for a long time. What could she do? No way.

See what Su Tong says.

Soon, everyone had read through the ideas provided by Lilith.

Simply put, it is to develop a two-player business simulation game, with one player playing the role of a leader and the other player playing the role of a bureaucrat.

The game goals of both parties seem to be the same, but in fact there are certain differences.

"In short, we must first determine the specific background of this game. After determining the background, we can then specifically finalize the details of the management system."

Lilith looked at Su Tong expectantly.

Although they are both simulation management or strategy games, the games produced will be very different if different backgrounds are chosen.

Is it an ancient background, a modern background, or a futuristic sci-fi background?
Is it business operation or strategy?

What percentage should each system in the game account for?
A good idea is certainly important, but these details are equally important.

Su Tong looked at Gu Fan.

Gu Fan coughed twice and said, "Why are you looking at me? You are the producer now.

"Just follow President Li's ideas and design carefully. I am the person in charge of the physical products now, and I have to cooperate with you."

Lilith quickly added: "Yes, during the design process, we must focus on how to stimulate the players' anger and bring out the essence of the two-player game to the fullest!

"If the two players don't get angry enough to fight offline, then this design is unacceptable!"

Zhou Yang and Wei Chengjie looked at each other. Wow, President Li is not pretending anymore, right? The two players are so angry that they are having an offline PK?

If this kind of big news really came out, I'm afraid this game wouldn't need to be promoted or buy hot searches.

Su Tong thought about it seriously and said, "Boss Li, what do you think of management games like production lines?" Lilith was stunned for a moment: "Huh? A management game like a production line? What kind of production line is it exactly?

“In other words, it’s more of a science fiction background, right?
“Why do you prefer this background?”

Su Tong explained: "Because I think this game mode pays more attention to details and can create conflicts better.

"Isn't this more in line with your needs, Ms. Li?

“For example, let’s say the player, who is playing the bureaucrat, sneakily throws an additional component into the production line.

"Then the other player will have to go through the entire production line from the beginning. Just thinking about it makes me feel like I'm going to break down."

Lilith's eyes lit up: "Huh?

"Great! Great idea! This is a perfect match to the original idea!"

There are also many types of business simulation games.

For example, in some games, players only need to make specific decisions. Even when placing buildings, they only need to place them in specific locations, and there is not much freedom.

"The City Forsaken by God" is such a type of game.

But some business simulation games have a very high degree of freedom, and players can even manually adjust the details of certain buildings.

Production line games are the most outrageous of them all.

Simply put, there is a very complex technology tree in the game.

From raw material mining, to parts manufacturing, to machinery manufacturing, and finally to large warehouses and other buildings with special purposes...

The entire technology tree is extremely complex, and a top-level technological building may require up to a dozen production links.

If players want to mass-produce these technological buildings, they need to build the production line from scratch.

For example, you can first build a mining machine to mine, and then use a conveyor belt to send the ore to a smelting furnace;
The smelting furnace smelts the minerals into plates, which are then sent to the manufacturing machine via a conveyor belt, and the manufacturing machine makes specific parts;
The conveyor belt then sends the primary parts produced by various minerals to high-level manufacturing machines to make more complex parts, which are then used to make resources for climbing technology, and then the resources for climbing technology are used to develop higher-level technology...

This cycle continues.

In this process, each resource line requires extremely precise planning and extremely complex calculations.

The ultimate goal of the player is to achieve automated production of all parts, continuously collect all resources on the map, and ultimately build a highly automated technological city.

"Automation" is the biggest charm of this game.

Originally, this type of game is quite addictive, with both positive and negative emotions, but overall there are more positive emotions.

After all, this kind of game has a natural threshold, and the players who stay after screening can better appreciate the fun of planning and management.

Build a fully automatic production line and create a magnificent automated city.

When the entire system runs perfectly, players will get great joy.

But if a traitor is added into this process, the whole game suddenly becomes cruel.

Because any wrong part may paralyze the entire production line.

If players want to find out where the problem lies, they have to go through the entire production line.

What's more, another player can deceive the superiors and the subordinates, conceal specific data, or distort the implementation of the policy...

In the end, the two players might actually fight each other.

Lilith stood up excitedly and walked around twice. It was obvious that she was very excited about the new idea proposed by Su Tong.

This is a perfect match with the original idea!
But she soon calmed down.

Although this game sounds like it can create a lot of negative emotions, but too much is as bad as too little. What if it scares all the players away? You still have to think about disguise as much as possible.

Moreover, there is the lifelong enemy bug.

Lilith tried hard to think about where the bug might appear this time, but she was ultimately defeated. She could not imagine what might happen.

But no matter what, we still can't take it lightly.

“Okay, that’s a good idea, but what specific background should I use?

"Even if it's science fiction, there are many different backgrounds."

Su Tong thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go with a science fiction survival theme?
“In the context of the game, let’s say there are some survival elements.

“For example, while players are developing technology, they may also encounter severe natural disasters, such as severe cold or extreme heat.

“These two natural disasters will transform randomly and last for a long time, which will have a very serious impact on human survival.

“Players have to plan ahead.

"At the same time, players can also choose their own political system and technological path. In the early stage, the goal is survival, and in the middle and late stages, they have to escape from this disaster-ridden planet and head for a new home."

Lilith nodded happily: "Hmm? Very good!
"It's absolutely perfect, you really are a genius!

"How can we make all these systems perfectly compatible based on the basic idea? Very good, this is it, I won't change it!"
