When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 593 Taking Over "Against the Heavens"

It's chaos, it's all chaos.

All the plans Lilith had made were disrupted!

She originally thought that the hard-working programmer would find all kinds of excuses, from the underlying mechanisms to the specific principles, or even put the blame on other programmers or something.

But I didn't expect that the liver emperor would admit it directly and openly.

Yes, I did it!

I didn't expect that, what's the matter?

You don't believe it? Believe it or not, I've resigned anyway.

There is a kind of heroic spirit in taking all the blame for a brother and then running away in a cool manner.

As for the talk of resigning...that's of course nonsense.

Because the Hardworking Emperor originally only intended to make this one game, and no matter whether the game was successful or not, he had no intention of staying in Against the Heaven.

What's more, as the main planner of this game, the bonus income from this year alone is enough for him to make a fortune and achieve financial freedom.

What is the next step for me to stay in this troubled place? Of course, I will go back to be my own anchor and enjoy my life.

Therefore, the liver emperor didn't care about Lilith's anger at all.

Lilith realized that she was wrong, and very wrong.

Obviously, Gan Di and Gu Fan, or the other employees of Against the Heaven, are completely different.

Gu Fan signed a contract with Lilith, so of course he had to be careful about everything.

If other employees want to continue working at Nitiantang, they have to pretend, find excuses, or try to pass the buck.

The only exception is the Hardworking Emperor. He neither signed the contract nor planned to continue working in Against the Heaven, so he naturally became invincible.

Moreover, before leaving, the liver emperor had obviously made up his mind to take all the blame.

If he sold the program or the test and shared the responsibility, perhaps there would be room for further discussion.

But the liver emperor didn't, he just kept silent and took it all on himself.

"Goodbye, President Li, President Gu!"

The liver emperor returned to his room, took the suitcase that had been packed long ago, and left in a leisurely manner.

Lilith opened her eyes wide and watched the hard-working man get into the online taxi. Then her twin ponytails drooped down instantly and she looked completely wilted.

She sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought.

Gu Fan was a little nervous, but it was not appropriate to say anything at this time. He could only wait silently.

After a while, Lilith seemed to have finally recovered from the blow and looked at Gu Fan: "I've decided! Gu Fan, you are going to take over the development of "Against the Heavens" right now, right now!"

Gu Fan was a little surprised: "Me?"

Lilith nodded: "Yes! This time, you will be the one to complete the final work of "Against the Heavens"!"

Gu Fan shook his head slightly, with a somewhat resistant expression: "Boss Li, this is not good, right?
"The development of Against the Sky has been going on for more than half a year and has already entered the final stage. I have never participated in the development of this game. Is it appropriate for me to suddenly come and take advantage of it?"

Lilith's expression was firm: "If I say it's suitable, then it's suitable!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Gu Fan had no choice but to nod: "Okay, then I'll go and take a look at the details of this project tomorrow."

Obviously, the sudden escape of the liver emperor caused a great shock to Lilith.

She suddenly realized a problem, a very serious problem.

That is, this behavior of the Liver Emperor is very likely to be imitated within Against Heaven!
Originally, Lilith thought that she could easily control the Hardworking Emperor by recruiting him into Against Heaven, but now she realized that she had completely misjudged her idea.

Although Endless Fantasy Tales 2 had a bad reputation in the beginning and the hard-working player turned into a coward on the Internet, it was obvious that the hard-working player did not keep to himself and started secretly planning to do tricks in the game.

As the game’s reputation improves, the hardcore gamers are making a lot of money.

Not only did he earn a lot of fame as the chief planner of "Endless Fantasy Tales 2", but the outrageous share of the profits also helped him achieve financial freedom.

So when the liver emperor ran away, he had no psychological burden and no hesitation at all.

You've made so much money, what are you waiting for?
I can't stay in this strange game company full of urban legends for even a second!

And what about the other employees of Nitiantang?
After so many games, they have made a lot of money!

Especially those employees who hold key positions and can play the role of main planners and programmers, all of them are very rich.

If it were before, they might have been obedient in order to keep their jobs in Nitiantang.

But now, whether they run away voluntarily or are fired, they no longer care. The money they earn is enough to spend in their next life anyway.

In this case, are they still trustworthy?
Totally not worth it!

After going around in circles, Lilith found that Gu Fan was the only one who was more trustworthy.

After all, no matter how rich Gu Fan was, he was also restricted by the contract and was the only person that Lilith could really control. After realizing this, Lilith hurriedly asked Gu Fan to take over the subsequent development and finishing work of "Against the Heavens".

Although all the employees of Against Heaven are suspected to be traitors, Lilith still wants to find one that is relatively easy to control, even if it may just be an illusion.

Gu Fan asked tentatively: "Boss Li, aren't you afraid that I won't develop games for a long time and some unexpected situations may happen because I am not good at it?"

Lilith narrowed her eyes and said, "No! Trust the people you employ, and don't employ them if you don't trust them. I have always been a good and reasonable leader, so you can rest assured about this.

“Besides, the foundation of Against the Sky is very good, and I am very confident in the design of this game!
"As long as you don't deliberately sabotage it and follow our original design idea strictly, and go through all the current codes from beginning to end, it should be stable!"

Gu Fan felt that there were too many flaws in Lilith's words, and he didn't know where to start.

In the end, all the words came together into one sentence: "Okay, President Li, I will definitely work hard!"

……

After Lilith left, Gu Fan opened the design document of "Against the Heaven" on his computer and went over it again.

This project was launched several months ago, and entered development shortly after the launch of Endless Fantasy Tales 2.

As for the idea of ​​this game, it was of course provided by Lilith.

However, other people also worked together to design the specific gameplay of the game and provided a lot of constructive suggestions.

The scene at that time was roughly like this.

……

“I’ve got a great idea for my next game!

"But the specific details still need to be discussed with everyone."

Lilith acted very confident.

At this time, "Endless Fantasy Tales 2" had just been launched not long ago, and Lilith didn't know that it would experience so many twists and turns in the future, so she was in a relatively good mood.

What's more, judging from the idea, "Against the Sky" is indeed a game worth looking forward to.

The Liver Emperor asked cautiously, "What idea?"

At this time, he was still not sure how much money "Endless Fantasy Tales 2" could make, so he was in a state of being cautious in the company, trying his best to make Lilith ignore his harm.

“I want to make a pay-to-win game!

“A pay-to-win game!
"It's a pay-to-win game!" Lilith's eyes were full of confidence.

Gu Fan was silent for a moment, then asked, "But Boss Li, we never made this kind of game before, isn't it because... the revenue is difficult to control?"

Lilith waved her hand: "Of course it's because the technology has improved, and my design concept has also improved! Oh, anyway, don't ask too much, I say I can do it!"

Gu Fan nodded and said no more.

Gan Di felt a little dizzy listening to what was going on nearby. He didn't quite understand what the two people meant, but he didn't take it too seriously. After all, such strange things were not uncommon in Against the Heaven, especially when it came to President Li.

Strictly speaking, before this, Against the Heavens had never made a true pay-to-win game.

To put it simply, it is a game that sells numbers and you can become stronger by spending money.

Why not do it?

Because the negative emotion collection mechanism of this type of game is relatively complicated, Lilith thought it was too risky and difficult to control, so she didn't do it.

Although numerical games that increase power by spending money are criticized by countless players, they still have a large market. In fact, they have almost become the mainstream of web games and mobile games on the market for a long time.

This proves from the side that this type of game has a special soil.

According to Lilith's analysis, this type of game is actually a typical pyramid structure.

At the top of the tower is a small group of super-paying players. They spend money in the game to get numerical values, and one person can kill and mow down people like crazy. Therefore, the positive emotion values ​​they get in this type of game may be hundreds or thousands of times that of other games.

The base of the tower at the bottom is inhabited by many zero-spending or micro-spending players. They basically act as cannon fodder at the bottom level in the game, relying on extreme hard work and a little bit of luck to barely keep up with the mid-spending players. If they encounter super-spending guys, they will only be killed at the resurrection point.

However, players who spend no money or very little money may not necessarily have many negative emotions.

Because they have sufficient psychological expectations for their situation, they will not be broken even if they are killed by krypton guys, but will get used to it.

The designers of these games will also try their best to balance the gaming experience of zero-氪 players as much as possible. After all, these zero-氪 players are considered to have the gaming experience of top-氪 players. If they all run away, the top-氪 players will have nothing to play.

Therefore, under this dynamic balance, even in games where you can become stronger by spending money, the overall emotional output is positive. Even some games that can balance the feelings of top-level spenders and zero-spending players can gain a lot of positive emotions from spenders.

So is it possible to fine-tune this system?
Is it possible to find a way to make both paying players and non-paying players unhappy?
Of course it is possible, but with just fine-tuning, unexpected things could happen.

So until Lilith came up with a particularly solid idea, she never considered making a similar game.

This time, I don’t know if her method of collecting negative emotions has improved, or her game design concept has made progress, or she thinks that making this kind of game can destroy the reputation of Against Heaven at once?

In short, it’s finally time to play a game where you become stronger by spending money!
