Game development giant

"Plague Company" Li Yuanhang only produced a mobile version, and has no idea of ​​making PC and other platforms for the time being. In addition to the limited funds, the most important reason is that he has no experience in making games on other platforms.

The mobile phone operating system in this world is very different from the previous life. The mainstream mobile phone operating system in this world is made by a company called dandelion, whose Chinese name is dandelion. The name of the system is dandelion, or DL ​​system for short.

People in China don't know who took the lead. They are habitually called the lantern system. Later, this name quickly became popular, so that most people believed that the Chinese name was officially started.

After dandelion learned about it, it was very bachelor to directly announce that the official Chinese name of dandelion is called Lantern. On China's official website, two red lanterns were ingeniously hung on both sides.

The performance of the DL system is very superior. Dandelion does not hold the DL system like Google in the previous life. Most of its shares are in the hands of more than 30 large mobile phone manufacturers in the world. China has three manufacturers holding shares in Dandelion.

Dandelion is more like the ARM company in the previous life. It is only responsible for the kernel update of the DL system, and the mobile phone company invests in the purchase of the kernel source code of the new version of the system.If the mobile phone has not updated the system kernel, except for the initial purchase of the source code, you can not give dandelion a penny in the future.

After Wang Xiuqin’s art resources were in place, it didn’t take long for the first Alpha version (internal test version, referred to as A test) to be completed. A test only has bacteria as a pathogen, which is mainly used to test whether the game program is smooth, Whether it is stable, whether there are major BUGs, etc.

This time the test must not only find out and fix bugs, but also start adapting to mainstream mobile phone models. Li Yuanhang has already purchased more than 20 various second-hand mobile phones in advance.These mobile phones have curved screens, full screens, special-shaped screens, and mobile phones with resolutions of 16 to 9, 18 to 9, and 21 to 9, representing most types of models in the world.

Adaptation is to install the A-test "Plague Company" on these mobile phones and run them, and if there are any problems such as stretched, blurred or distorted images, they will be resolved in time.

Li Yuanhang has no avatar technique, and can only be used to test games on a compatible mobile phone, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

The tester is naturally only Li Yuanhang. After repeated testing, discovering and modifying BUG, ​​adapting a mobile phone, retesting, re-discovering and modifying BUG... This cycle has been carried out for nearly a month, and the A test is considered to be ended.

After the A test, Li Yuanhang added two pathogens, viruses and fungi, to the game, and immediately began the Beta test (external test version, referred to as B test).

Unlike the A test, which is tested in the development environment and simulated actual operating environment, it is tested by developers and professional testers, while the B test is completely handed over to the players for testing, and the BUG is fixed in time by collecting feedback from the players. .

Naturally, it is impossible for Li Yuanhang to build a car behind closed doors. He registered a developer in an application market called MBGM. This application market is somewhat similar to a collection of tapap and Ku’an in the past. He is specialized in mobile game information, sharing and downloading. Platform.

MBGM, a mobile game distribution platform, has a small market share in China, but it has a group of extremely sticky users whose activity and loyalty far exceed those of other platforms.

More importantly, users of this platform are still very happy to experience the games under test. Many mobile games of domestic game studios like to start testing on this platform. Players are also willing to choose their favorite games from them. To the feeling of baby.

After Li Yuanhang repeatedly confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the B test version of Plague Company, he uploaded the game client to MBGM's backstage for review, and then set the rules for screening test players in the backstage.

Because he did not get the version number, it was impossible for Li Yuanhang to start the paid download, so he could only screen out a batch of test players from MBGM users.The rule of screening is very simple, that is, the higher the user level in MBGM, the more players who have tested the game will be given priority to get the activation code. 500 activation codes are issued every day, tentatively issued for a week.

After doing all this, Li Yuanhang suddenly felt a little empty. He remembered that Wang Xiuqin had said that when the game started testing, he would give her a total of activation codes so that she could also experience the game he made.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanhang picked up his mobile phone and dialed Wang Xiuqin’s phone. The phone was connected shortly after the ringtone rang. The sound of Wang Xiuqin’s words came along with the sound of explosions and metal collisions: “I’m right. I'm going to call you. I didn't expect you to call first. If you have something to do, you should come to my house first. Let's eat and talk. Then, I'll hang up first."

Since the last time he saw Li Yuanhang's haggard appearance after he exploded his liver, Wang Xiuqin has often called him to the house for a dental sacrifice, and by the way, he supervised him not to work too hard.

Originally, Li Yuanhang didn't want to go to Wang Xiuqin's house too often, for fear of her husband's misunderstanding. Later, she learned that she and her husband had been divorced for almost a year, and now only she and her daughter live together.

Wang Xiuqin’s daughter, Shen Yuqian, likes to be with Li Yuanhang very much. Sometimes the little girl stays at home alone on weekends, so Wang Xiuqin simply asks her daughter to play in Li Yuanhang’s rental house, and also gives her a task to supervise her. Uncle Li cannot work too long a day.

So recently, Li Yuanhang has not only recovered his body, but also because of a follower supervising him, he takes time out every day to exercise. Recently, he has already exercised his six-pack abs.

Li Yuanhang hadn't said a word yet, Wang Xiuqin had already hung up the phone straightforwardly, he smiled helplessly, and quickly changed into a set of clean clothes and went out.

When I came to Wang Xiuqin's house, four or five steaming dishes were already on the dinner table. Shen Yuqian was sitting on the sofa watching cartoons, and when she saw Li Yuanhang coming, she bounced and found him a pair of slippers, smiling happily Said: "Uncle Li, if you come here later, the dishes will be cold..."

Li Yuanhang said while changing his slippers, "That means I came at the right time, not early or late, the time is just right."

"Uncle Li next time, you have to come here earlier. My mother and I won't wait for you when it's late." Shen Yuqian took Li Yuanhang's hand and sat down on the sofa, then looked up at Li Yuanhang and asked: "Uncle Li , Have you exercised during my absence these days?"

Shen Yuqian is very attentive to the tasks her mother has entrusted to her. Not only will Li Yuanhang supervise him to exercise, but even when he is not there, she will also use her mother's mobile phone to send messages or call to urge Li Yuanhang.

Li Yuanhang smiled and scratched Shen Yuqian's little nose: "Don't worry, Uncle Li completes Xiaoqian's assignments with quality and quantity every day, including running, push-ups and sit-ups a lot."

Shen Yuqian smiled like a flower immediately after listening.

At this time, Wang Xiuqin came out with a spoon, nodded to Li Yuanhang and said, "Let’s eat."
