Chapter 1188 Caught Off Guard Trial Operation

Saturday, August 18.

As usual, Yan Qi came to the office building where the Chaolu game platform was located during normal working hours in the morning, and continued to search for bugs.

To be precise, finding bugs is only the second purpose, and the first purpose is to verify the authenticity and universality of last week's speculation about metaphysical laws.

Does this treasure land of geomantic omen not take effect on weekends? Is the bug not working on weekends?

This question must be verified.

Last weekend, Yan Qi asked his testing team to work overtime for two days. As a result, the number of bugs found in the two days of overtime was not as many as those found on Monday morning. This efficiency is really worrying. If I knew that the efficiency of overtime work is so low, I might as well let everyone rest at home!

Therefore, Yan Qi told everyone that we should work extra hours this weekend for half a day. If the efficiency of finding bugs is still very low on Saturday morning, then we should just take a break this weekend and wait for the Feng Shui treasure to return to normal on weekdays before continuing to find bugs. That's it.

At this time, everyone in the "Blade of Empire" test team has basically arrived, and test teams from other companies have also moved over one after another.

All the workstations on this floor of the office building have been rented out, and even the two floors upstairs and downstairs have been rented out.

However, although the discussions in the group were heated and even attracted many companies from other cities, there were still many companies in the group that did not participate.

It may be that the people in charge of these companies have relatively strong scientific literacy and firm will, so when it comes to this kind of metaphysical problem, no matter what other people say, they will not be moved.

Of course, Yan Qi didn't care about these companies.

For him, it is the utmost benevolence to remind him, whether love comes or not, anyway, how efficient it is to find bugs in this place, whoever comes will know!

The leaders of the testing teams of other companies basically knew Yan Qi and greeted him one after another.

It's just that when passing by other companies' workstations, it is obvious that these testers also have some doubts on their faces.

"Hey, it's strange, why are there fewer bugs found today? There are not many bugs."

"Find everything? No way."

Obviously, they were all aware of the huge change in bug-finding efficiency on Friday and Saturday.

Yan Qi suddenly remembered that he had not told other companies about this matter.

Quickly sent a message in the group.

"By the way, there is one thing I forgot to remind everyone. Last weekend, I found that this feng shui treasure seems to be out of order on weekends, so don't worry if you can't find the bug. It will return to normal on Monday."

"I only arranged an extra half-day class for the test today, just to verify this matter. It seems that this rule is indeed satisfied at present. So if you have no other work, you can go back to rest and recharge your batteries. Come back on Monday to continue Fix the bug."

Soon, the people in charge of the group responded one after another.

"Huh? Bug doesn't work on weekends? This is too unscientific!"

"It's unscientific, but it's metaphysics! It's already unscientific to have a spherical Fengshui treasure in space, so it doesn't seem surprising that the existence of this space has a certain time law..."

"I do not believe!"

"Let's look for bugs again. If the efficiency is indeed lower, it means that what Mr. Yan said is true. There is no need for everyone to find bugs when the efficiency is low. It is better to do something else."

This time, people in the group seemed to accept this setting quickly.

Although this matter still sounds outrageous, after all, most of the companies that moved here have gone through the baptism of metaphysics and have objectively recognized the existence of this special space, so adding a little more time to the rules does not seem to be a big surprise things...

Yan Qi sat down at his desk, took out his mobile phone and ran his own game several times.

Well, sure enough.

Bug does not work on weekends!

In fact, before running, Yan Qi was still a little bit tangled, whether he hoped there would be bugs or no bugs?

If there are bugs, it means that you have to work overtime on weekends, but the progress of the game can be moved forward a lot; if there are no bugs, the progress cannot be caught up, but you can rest on weekends.

Now that the dust has settled, it is more at ease, giving employees a reason to rest on weekends.

Not bad.

In fact, as a boss, Yan Qi is quite entangled in the issue of overtime.

He is not like many unscrupulous bosses who force employees to work overtime for free simply to reduce costs and further squeeze employees' labor. But even as a boss with a bit of conscience, it is inevitable to ask employees to work overtime.

After all, as a small company or start-up company, there are not so many resources, and there are not enough high-quality employees. Sometimes, if you want to catch up with the progress, working overtime is a last resort.

The game industry is an industry that pays great attention to timeliness. If there are two similar types of games, and one game is launched a month or two later than the other, the difference in revenue may be several million or tens of millions.

For small companies, this difference in speed is enough to determine the life and death of the company.

Therefore, in order to keep the company alive, to prevent employees from looking for jobs again, and to share more bonuses in the future, Yan Qi sometimes had to ask employees to work overtime in order to catch up with the development progress.

This made him feel entangled from time to time.

Although the employees understood and cooperated with this behavior very well, Yan Qi still felt a little sorry.

It's all right now, don't worry about it. Since Feng Shui treasures do not advocate overtime work on weekends, and overtime work on weekends is inefficient, it is better to give employees a holiday to rest, adjust their status, and continue to fight against bugs next Monday.

Thinking of this, Yan Qi said: "Okay, it's verified, it's really ineffective to fix bugs on weekends. Everyone orders Moyu takeaway at noon today. I invite you. After eating, you can go home from get off work!"

"Of course, if you have an appointment at noon, you can leave early."

As soon as this remark came out, the employees cheered.

"Boss Yan is awesome!"

"Thank you, Mr. Yan, for the treat!"

As a result, a small number of employees who had lunch with friends or were going home for dinner greeted Yan Qi and then left, while the other part of the employees stayed and left after lunch.

Yan Qi stopped looking for bugs, but opened the official website of Chaolu Game Platform to check the current status of the platform.

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but I’m startled when I see it.

"Huh? The game platform started trial operation yesterday afternoon?"

"It seems that I did mention it before, but aren't everyone still fixing bugs?"

Yan Qi vaguely remembered that the staff of Chaolu Game Platform had talked about the trial operation in the group before, but everyone was busy fixing bugs, so they subconsciously thought that the trial operation must be postponed.

There are not many games, how can this platform be put into trial operation?

As a result, I found out now that I really have to try hard!

Turning on the gaming platform, everything seems normal at first glance.

The homepage of the platform also has various recommendation positions, and different partitions are made according to game types and devices. Although the content is not too much, it cannot be compared with those game platforms with hundreds or thousands of games, but it still looks good. It's neat.

Yan Qi habitually opened this column of action games to check.

After all, he is an action game himself, and he also wants to see if there are any competing games on the platform that directly compete with his own games.

However, when I clicked in, I realized that there was actually a game of my own called "Blade of Empires"!

"Ah? No, isn't our game still under revision?"

"Why are you already on the game platform?"

Yan Qi hurriedly clicked on the game's details page to view it.

On the details page, there are the game's introduction, information, and promotional images. These have been given to the Chaolu game platform before, so it is not surprising that they appear on the platform.

The original button to download the game/start the game is not available, and there is a special prompt bar, which shows the current number of bugs in the game "Blade of Empires"!

This number appears to be data grabbed directly from the game's test backend.

Yan Qi asked the test team leader: "Hey, did Chaolu Game Platform ask us for the data interface of the test background?"

The test team leader nodded: "That's right, we have already paid it after we signed the contract. After all, they also need to keep track of our bug fixes in real time."

Yan Qi clicked on other games and found that most of them were also modifying the status of bugs, the difference was only in the number of bugs.

Occasionally, you can even see changes in the number of bugs, indicating that the company is working overtime. After a bug is fixed and submitted, the test team will test and confirm that there is no problem. After the modification is completed, the bug will disappear, so the number of bugs in the background also Changes will occur and will be synchronized to the game platform in real time.

The vast majority of games on the Zhaolu game platform are in this state: you can see how many bugs are left to be fixed, but you can't play them.

Yan Qi searched for a long time before finally finding a game that can be played. It is an old game that was launched on other platforms half a year ago. According to the lifespan, it should have entered the middle and late stages of life.

This kind of game has very few bugs, because the version of the game is already very stable, but at the same time, it means that there is no new content, and the appeal to new players is basically zero.

Although "Blade of the Empire" and other games that are not online are also mobile games developed by small companies, at least they are new games, and they are still competitive in the mobile game circle.

As a result, all the competitive games were fixing bugs, and the non-competitive games were launched, but they couldn't attract many players.

Moreover, although the Zhaolu game platform has made some distinctions between games that are already available for download and play and games that are undergoing bug fixes, such as making special marks on game icons and allowing playable games to be screened out through screening, it has done a poor job. It's not that obvious.

As a result, players who entered the platform could not find the game to play for the first time, clicked on one and found that the bug was being fixed, and opened another one and it was still being fixed...

This feeling is quite painful as one can imagine.
