When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 696 BUG also means infinite possibilities (finale)

More than a month has passed, and the Against the Heaven Game Family Bucket Challenge Competition has finally come to an end.

The top 1000 players worldwide who have completed the game have completed the competition and results review, and the specific list has been announced to players around the world!

As for the huge first prize of $1000 million, it was won by an ordinary player from a third world country.

This player was not very well-known before, but from his game account, it can be seen that he is a young man who pursues excellence and has platinum achievements in many games.

Winning first place this time not only made him financially free, but also instantly made him the focus of the world and the envy of other players.

Of course, since bonus distribution and tax payment require specific procedures, it will take a relatively long time for the money to reach these players.

Those players who missed the prize due to a single wrong move were filled with regret.

After all, it’s hard to say when the next large-scale challenge competition like this with extremely high prize money and open to everyone will be held.

However, although most players just played for fun and did not get any prize money, they still felt that they had fun from these games.

Afterwards, the account of Nitiantang became unusually active and released news.

In the next few months, Against the Heavens will launch the "Player Choice Editions" of these games simultaneously around the world!
Everyone is curious, what is the player choice version?
Against the Heaven, can you translate it for me?
The so-called player choice version retains the classic mechanism of the original game, while fine-tuning the functions and continuously updating the content based on player feedback.

In a nutshell, Against the Heavens is finally going to do something that any serious gaming company would do!

This is the ultimate good news for players.

Although the games of Against the Heaven are relatively complete, there are still many problems.

Many games rely on players to privately develop various mods to improve the gaming experience.

Although it is playable, it is still inconvenient for players who have just started the game.

There are also some online games, such as "Endless Fantasy Tales 2", "Shadow World" and "Against the Sky", for which many players do hope to be updated.

Take Endless Fantasy Tales 2 for example, some players do not want updates because they want to accumulate all the characters over time, and updates mean new characters, which they cannot afford.

But for those players who are tired of playing existing characters, they certainly still hope for new characters and new maps.

After all, there is no good substitute for other games.

It's difficult to satisfy everyone. Comparatively speaking, there are more players who support updates.

It doesn’t matter if the update is slow, as long as it’s there!

Players are also puzzled as to why Against the Heaven suddenly underwent such a change, and there are many different opinions.

Some people say that it is due to the requirements of foreign laws and regulations, while others say that Against the Heaven has changed its chief planner.

But obviously, no one can guess the real reason.

As the global official website of Against the Heavens was updated, players noticed that there was a new slogan on the page:
If you find a bug in the game, please do not make it public, because the existence of our company depends on the operation of the bug.

……

"Gu Fan!
"Why is there no more Coke? Did you drink it secretly?"

Listening to Lilith yelling in anger, Gu Fan felt helpless: "What do you mean by drinking secretly? Just drink normally, okay? I bought this Coke for myself! There's more in the refrigerator outside. I'll get you a can."

Lilith took the Coke with satisfaction: "That's pretty good!

"Let me tell you, the company Nitiantang has grown to its current size thanks to my original shares. Even though you have grown stronger now, you can't be ungrateful. Do you understand?"

Gu Fan chuckled and said nothing.

More than half a year has passed since Lilith and Chamuel disappeared last time.

During the past six months, Gu Fan has done a lot of things, including arranging the "player choice version" of the previous game, developing new games, adjusting the company structure, etc.

Nitiantang is developing towards a normal gaming company.

When Gu Fan saw Lilith suddenly appear again, he was a little scared.

However, judging from the current situation, Lilith has indeed turned into an angel, and the contract between them has indeed disappeared.

"So, Ms. Li, what specific work are you responsible for now?" Gu Fan asked.

"Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced myself to you yet.

“I am now Lady Lilith, the number one game producer in Heaven!

"I'm here to help you gather more positive emotions this time."

Lilith put her hands on her hips and said proudly: "Although not yet, I believe that with my talent, it is only a matter of time before I can get to the management level in Heaven!"

Gu Fan was a little shocked: "Ah? Still making games?"

Lilith nodded: "What's wrong? Is it strange that my game-making talent is recognized by those old stubborn people in Heaven?" Gu Fan was a little curious: "Wait, why did you accept your new identity as an angel so smoothly, Li? You are a capable general in Hell, didn't Lucifer protest?"

He originally thought that if he turned Lilith into an angel, it would inevitably lead to a bloody storm, a great war between heaven and hell, and even this war would last for thousands of years...

When they start fighting, I can live and develop comfortably in the human world.

As a result, nothing that was imagined happened at all.

Lilith was a little unhappy: “That old bastard Lucifer!
"He pretended to ask for someone from heaven, but Michael somehow talked him into sending Chamuel to hell to work for him.

“It’s a good opportunity to update the business models of both Heaven and Hell at the same time.

"Haven't you always felt that Heaven was too inefficient and Hell was too rough? It's just right. Let me teach these angels what high efficiency means, and let Chamuel set some rules for those disrespectful demons in Hell.

"In the short term, we will rotate for a hundred years first, and then see what happens after a hundred years."

Gu Fan couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand: "So careless... It seems that my understanding of heaven and hell is completely wrong..."

Lilith sighed: "There's nothing I can do, I've long said that this world is just a huge makeshift team!

“When I become the Archangel one day, I will send these two old guys, Michael and Lucifer, to the front line to test the game every day. If they don’t finish the test, I will pull out a hair and not allow them to sleep!

"By the way, what is Anti-Heaven's new game going to be about?"

Gu Fan was alert instantly: "Boss Li, now you are an angel, you should not need to collect negative emotions anymore, right?

"Against Heaven is just about to turn over a new leaf, so please stop it. If you continue to make rubbish games, I won't cooperate with you."

Lilith waved her hand: “How could that be, heaven requires positive emotions.

"But...

“The technology in Heaven still hasn’t improved much. Just like before, we have to create negative emotions first and then convert them into positive emotions before we can receive the converted positive emotions.

"But this part is more free. Although pure positive emotions are difficult to collect, there is no loss either, so you still have a certain degree of freedom."

Gu Fan nodded: "Oh, that's easy, just make a suffering game every once in a while and it should be about the same."

Lilith stretched lazily: "Okay, okay, let's get started! Do you have any ideas for your new game? I think you may need the help of Lilith, the first producer of Heaven.

“It just so happens that I have a few good ideas, so I’ll give them to you for free.

"I have already completed the most complicated creative process. You just need to turn them into games."

Gu Fan thought for a moment and said, "That's not impossible, but you, Boss Li, no longer have an official status in Against Heaven, so it's not legitimate for you to design games.

"How about this, let's sign a labor contract, and give you a base salary of 8000 per month, no bonus, no overtime pay, but snacks and cola are all included, okay?"

Lilith's eyes widened in shock: "Gu Fan! You are the one who got the upper hand! Just wait, when I go to hell, I will fry you into a finger-licking chicken!"

Gu Fan took a document from the table and said, "Okay, no more jokes, this is the next new game from Against Heaven."

Lilith reached out to take the design and glanced at it.

"BUG Construction???"

The name confused her.

Gu Fan explained: "It is a more traditional construction game, divided into 2D and 3D modes.

“Players can use the materials provided in the game to build the world and levels. After the construction is completed, they need to go through the levels themselves and then upload them.

“But you must put a bug in it.

“Other players enter the game to experience it, look for bugs, carefully complete the levels, and then rate the levels.

“The ratings are based on two dimensions: ‘level design’ and ‘bug design’.

“High-scoring works will be given priority on the list, and particularly outstanding authors will be directly hired by Nitiantang as individual designers or programmers.”

Lilith was a little speechless: "There's no need to pretend anymore! The current Against Heaven can really eliminate all the bugs!
"Gu Fan, with your technical ability, you could have done it a long time ago, right?"

Gu Fan smiled and shook his head: "No, no, no, President Li, I really didn't lie to you about this matter.

“No matter how great a programmer is in this world, it’s impossible to completely eliminate all the bugs in a game, and I can’t do that either.

“That’s the kind of thing only God can do.

“What’s more, BUGs are accidents and errors in the game, but they also represent infinite possibilities.

“It’s always going to be an integral part of the game, isn’t it?”
