When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 539: Sign Your Name on the Plan
Lilith thought seriously: “Well, it sounds like this can really save a lot of time.

“It will also be a better way to lure in previous players of Against the Heaven.

“But I am a little worried. Can I really harvest negative emotions steadily?
"If there's something wrong with this game, let alone earning negative emotions, there will probably be serious consequences that I dare not even think about..."

Gu Fan spread his hands and said, "Of course, it's up to you, Boss Li, to make the decision. After all, I'm just someone who comes up with ideas. I can't guarantee that every idea is right."

Lilith fell into deep thought, and it was obvious that she was also hesitant.

Binding to the IP of the previous game of Against the Heaven can indeed gain a lot of attention in the early stage, and it is also more likely to attract criticism, but once it fails, it will inevitably lead to more serious consequences.

"So, the risks and benefits can be considered to be offset for now, but the savings in development time are real."

Lilith thought about it for a long time, and finally decided: "Okay, let's follow this plan! Try to use the previous art resources as much as possible.

"Then go and inform the others to come up with the design and details as soon as possible. The only requirement is speed! Do you understand?"

Gu Fan nodded: "No problem, President Li, I will complete the task!"

……

The next morning, Gan Di sat at his workstation and continued scratching his hair.

I have to say that these designers of Against the Heaven are very strong. After he distributed the tasks, the planning progress of each functional module was gratifying.

Of course, another reason is that the game content before Against the Heaven was all-encompassing, with a variety of mechanisms, and these systems of "Endless Fantasy Legend" can basically find shadows of the past and can be used after some modifications.

Even some functions that did not exist before are often relatively simple and can be written quickly.

So these designers completed their work much faster than the hard-working people imagined.

But this also makes the hard-working person even more anxious, because once these designers have completed the design of basic functions, he will have to continue to assign new tasks.

But he hasn't even built the overall framework of "Endless Fantasy Legend" yet!
Of course, the hard work during this period was not without results. He at least figured out the secret of the bug in Against the Heaven and thought of some possibilities that could turn the tide.

However, whether these methods can actually work and how to integrate them into the game without anyone noticing is a question.

Just as I was struggling, Gu Fan came in from outside.

"Hmm? Mr. Gu!"

It seemed as if the liver emperor had met a savior. In the past few days, he had been thinking about whether to ask for help, but he had not made up his mind.

Because the other three producers were sent out at the first opportunity, and the only one still in the capital, Mr. Gu, had a very high rank, so the Liver Emperor was embarrassed to visit him, as if he were a stupid student who couldn't complete his homework independently.

Now that Mr. Gu is here, I can ask him a few more questions.

However, what shocked Gan Di was that Mr. Gu actually came with a design plan.

"Gan Di, I'm sorry, President Li just issued the latest instructions yesterday.

"These are some changes to Endless Fantasy Legend 2. Take a look."

As Gu Fan spoke, he handed over the design concept draft in his hand.

"I don't know how your original design is going. If it has been basically completed, I'm sorry, you have to make some slight changes according to this new framework." Gu Fan said.

The hard-working man took the design concept draft and flipped through it quickly.

Then an expression of joy appeared on his face uncontrollably.

"Why?

"what?

“There is such a good thing!
"That's great, Mr. Gu. I had no idea before! Now at least the general framework is ready!

“Wait, use the original IP?

"No, Mr. Gu, does your company think so highly of me?"

The liver emperor's expression went through a rapid change from cloudy to sunny and then to cloudy.

When he first got this design draft, he was very happy because he saw that it provided many basic structures of "Endless Fantasy Legend", including the planning and distribution of the world map and so on.

And these were exactly the things that had been bothering him before.

This level of worldview architecture is a huge project in itself and cannot be created in a few days.

Even a preliminary plan often requires repeated consideration and research.

How could the liver emperor dare to make the final decision since he had no relevant work experience before?
It just so happens that I had no idea before, and now Ms. Li and Ms. Gu have provided a solution that doesn't need to be modified, so why not use it? Isn't this like a pillow delivered when you are sleepy?

But when I looked back carefully, it was broken.

Why are the IPs and resources of other classic games being used?
Just take a quick look, these are all the successful games before Against the Heaven, and each one of them is well-known.

As soon as these two heavyweights, "Ascension" and "Blood of Lies", are thrown out, the liver emperor feels a little nervous.

This time, "Endless Fantasy Legend 2" can be said to have been super leveraged!
Originally, the only IP of Endless Fantasy Legend 1 was on the shoulders of the Hardcore Emperor. If this game failed and he was criticized, at most it would be the fans of Endless Fantasy Legend 1 who would criticize him.

But if he messes up now, I'm afraid that this mess will splash on all the fans of Against the Heaven indiscriminately. Then the fans of "Ascension", "Blood of Lies", "Shadow World", "God Forsaken City", "Tokimeki Dreamland" and other games will scold him together!
The liver emperor felt that he was still a baby, and this was completely beyond his ability to bear.

"Boss Gu, it's not that I'm belittling myself, the key is that you know exactly who I am!

"Is Endless Fantasy Tales 2 going to be similar to 'Anti-Paradise Super Smash Bros.' from the very beginning? Then you shouldn't have come to me from the beginning!
"I don't have the ability, nor the reputation, and I don't have the ability to withstand pressure!"

The liver emperor was speechless. No matter how he thought about it, it was the world's fault and he was innocent.

Gu Fan coughed twice and said, "It's okay. You don't have to have any ability. As long as you have the ability to take the blame, that's enough."

Liver Emperor: “Ah?”

Gu Fan hurriedly explained: "What I mean is courage, the courage to take the blame!

"In fact, in an extremely mature development team like Against Heaven, as the lead designer, ability is not the most important thing, and prestige is not the most important thing either."

The Liver Emperor was confused: "What is the most important thing?"

Gu Fan said seriously: "The love for the game! The courage to make decisions! And the closeness with fans! These are the most important.

"Let's go through them one by one. Do you, the Liver Emperor, love the games before Against the Heaven from the bottom of your heart?"

The Liver Emperor nodded blankly: "Yes."

"Are you a person who dares to make decisions?"

"...That's right."

"And the most important point is, are you the person who is closest to the players and fans of Against Heaven in the entire Against Heaven game?"

This question made Gan Di stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he came up with a very affirmative answer.

"This is probably the only one that is beyond doubt, I think."

When it comes to being close to players, the Hardcore Player is indeed the closest.

Because for the other employees of Nitiantang, it is no longer a question of whether they are close to the players or not, they are trying hard to stay away from the players!
The players were furious and wanted to rush to Nitiantang, but they could never find anyone.

Any employee of Nitiantang will never open a social media account online or reveal their identity.

In short, the entire company of Nitiantang and all its employees seem to be isolated from the entire gaming circle.

He doesn't answer players' questions, doesn't interact with players, and doesn't even participate in any activities in the industry.

And what about the liver emperor?

After all, he is a loyal fan of Against the Heaven and also a host, so he is naturally closer to the players than anyone else on Against the Heaven.

So from this point of view, the Liver Emperor does have a unique advantage within Against Heaven.

"But the problem is... Mr. Gu, what do these three points you mentioned have to do with me being the main planner?"

The liver emperor was not so easily fooled, and he soon came to his senses.

Gu Fan hurriedly continued: "Of course it is related, you will know if you continue to work on this problem.

"In short, I hope we can work closely together and develop our projects simultaneously."

The project that Gu Fan is in charge of is, of course, "Fantasy Book".

The "Fantasy Book" must be closely related to the game content, and each part of it must perfectly correspond to the chapters of the game, so the planning must also be a chess game.

The Liver Emperor nodded quickly: "No problem, Mr. Gu, just tell me what to do, I will fully cooperate with you!"

Gu Fan quickly corrected: "No, no, no, how can I ask you to cooperate with me?

"You are the main planner, and I am just the product manager of the physical product. I should cooperate with you, understand?

"But I can also play the role of a consultant. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time.

"Also, if you have any plans that you really don't have time to write, you can also let me write them for you, but you can just revise them and sign your name after you're done."

The Liver Emperor was a little embarrassed: "How can that be possible? Is it appropriate for me to sign the proposal written by you, Mr. Gu? It must be jointly signed, and you are the first author."

Gu Fan's mouth twitched slightly: "Why are you being so polite to me? If I ask you to sign your name, then sign it! Do I, a CEO, have to snatch this little credit from you?"

The Liver Emperor was a little embarrassed: "That's right, OK, then I will listen to you, Mr. Gu."

Gu Fan was satisfied: "That's it.

"Okay, Ms. Li has already issued a strict order. Our first phase of development will take a full year. Our goal is to develop the main body of the game, complete at least 80% of the content and complete general testing, and not have too many bugs.

“We then spent another two months to complete the development of subsequent content and optimize the game.

"During these two months, we can also conduct internal testing, pre-promotion and so on.

"That's about it, let's get started!"
