Wednesday, November 30th.
All employees of Yangyang Games are busy.
Wang Xiaobin took a sip of coffee, and then sent a message on the company's internal chat software: "Let's test some new DLC more, it will be online soon, let's see if there are any. bug!”
Wang Xiaobin is mainly responsible for leading half of Yangyang Games’ manpower to develop DLC for some old games, including “Lonely Desert Road”, “Game Producer”, “Return to the Shore” and “ Sea Fortress".
Among them, "Back to Shore" and "Sea Fortress" have undergone major changes. There is too much content to be done in DLC, so they cannot be completed in a short time. They will be postponed to the end of this month and the beginning of next month respectively.
However, the DLCs for the two games "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Game Maker" are relatively easy to make. The development work has been completed and they can be officially updated after the bugs are tested.
Although the current bugs have been almost corrected, Wang Xiaobin does not dare to take it lightly at all. He still asks everyone to play the game more and test more, for fear of encountering various hidden problems after the game is released.
This is actually because of a rather metaphysical issue.
After the demo of a new game or a new version of Yangyang Games was made, I went to see Mr. Pei for a look. The test was good before going, but in Mr. Pei’s hands, all kinds of incomprehensible mysteries appeared. bug.
Wang Xiaobin even wondered whether Mr. Pei had any special means of finding bugs, or whether Mr. Pei himself had a bug constitution.
So every time the game is updated and DLC is developed, we strive for excellence in testing. We test it many times before launching it online, for fear of missing some fatal bugs.
The updated DLCs for the two games "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Game Maker" are priced at 5 yuan and 18 yuan respectively.
For "Lonely Desert Highway", the main body sells for 1 yuan, and the first DLC also sells for 1 yuan, and it is now free.
This new DLC is priced at 5 yuan, which was set by Wang Xiaobin himself, which is considered a historic breakthrough.
Because the content of this "Lonely Desert Highway" DLC update is much richer than the main game.
On Wang Xiaobin’s computer, the DLC update announcements for the two games have been written.
"Lonely Desert Highway" DLC update announcement:
1. New networking mode. Networking mode supports: inviting friends to play together (up to 8 people supported), randomly matching players together Game (starts from the starting point, supports up to 8 people), random encounters (randomly encounters other players in the process).
Text or voice chat can be used in network mode, and various detailed settings can be adjusted in the settings interface.
After the player turns on the Internet mode, if the vehicle breaks down on the road, he can ride as a passenger in other vehicles on the roadside.Continue your journey and continue driving from your current location after an hour's ride.
2. A new random scene function is added. If you drive for a long time in the desert, you may see mirages and various scenery around the world, including pyramids and other ruins in the desert.
When checking in at various attractions, there is a certain chance of triggering the Easter egg "Traveler Bao Xu": a lonely traveler in the desert asks for a ride. When you arrive at the destination, you will get a new vehicle appearance and a new scene.
"Game Producer" DLC update announcement:
1. New game function: message board. Players can leave messages on the ground, doorways, walls and other places in each level. The messages will be generated using fixed vocabulary combinations to enhance the player's interactive experience.
2. New gameplay: leverage mode. Players will get an assistant to help the narrator choose the route. Players can use the assistant to mock the narrator.
3. New gameplay: new player care mode. Old players who have passed the game can enter the game for new players who have not passed the game through the random matching system, and guide new players to make choices by freely inputting text in chat.
The art materials of these two games have not changed much, but some more interesting online gameplay has been added.
Moreover, Wang Xiaobin deliberately buried Easter eggs about the "Sea Fortress" DLC and the new game "Mission and Decision" in both games for early publicity and warm-up.
In fact, at the beginning, Wang Xiaobin didn’t have much idea about what the DLC of these games was going to do. He just wanted to do as much conventional gameplay as possible to complete the tasks.
But Huang Sibo found him and asked him to cooperate with "Mission and Choice" and add a pre-plot of "Mission and Choice" to the DLC of "Sea Fortress" to promote and warm up.
When Wang Xiaobin heard this, of course he readily agreed.
He had no idea at first, but Huang Sibo directly delivered the ready-made plot content of the game to his door. How could he not do it?
After planning the DLC content of "Sea Fortress", Wang Xiaobin thought about it. In this case, he would put all the DLC of the old game on the new game.
It not only updates the game content and gives old players something to do, but also serves as a publicity warm-up, which can increase the pre-sale sales of "Sea Fortress" DLC and "Mission and Decision". Why not?
So there are updates to "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Game Maker".
Wang Xiaobin checked it over and then arranged to send update announcements regularly.

Thursday, December 1st.
Since moving to Jingzhou in mid-October, Qiao Liang has lived in Jingzhou for a month and a half.
In this month and a half, he has completely adapted to life in Jingzhou, and his daily lifeLife has also undergone some changes.
First of all, my work and rest schedules have become regular, my eating habits have become healthier, and my original dark circles and puffiness have improved a lot.
Moyu Takeout recently launched a "monthly package", specifically for takeout parties like Qiao Liang, as well as office workers.
To purchase this "monthly package", you first need to choose your takeout time in advance. For example, office workers can choose noon from Monday to Friday, and those who work overtime can choose noon and evening from Monday to Saturday. ;The second is to choose the taste and dishes that you can accept in advance.
After purchasing the package, you can deposit the money into your personal account, choose automatic deduction, and get up to one meal on credit. If a meal is already owed on credit, the customer needs to pay the last payment within 2 hours before the next meal is delivered, otherwise the order will be cancelled.
When the meal delivery time comes, Moyu Takeout will automatically deduct the fees and deliver the meal, and arrange the dishes based on the taste selected by the customer in advance and the recent dining history to ensure a variety of tastes and balanced nutrition.
If there is a temporary emergency and food delivery is not required, customers only need to cancel it in advance on the "Meal Delivery Calendar" interface of the APP.
This monthly package is great news for otakus like Qiao Liang and some office workers.
Because ordering takeout is a kind of enjoyment in a few cases, but a kind of torture in most cases.
Qiao Liang often has this experience. Sometimes she forgets to order takeout when she gets busy, and when she is done, she looks up and sees that it is already 1 p.m.; sometimes she picks up her mobile phone to order takeout at 11 o'clock. I checked through more than a dozen stores but couldn't find what I particularly wanted to eat, so I wasted fifteen minutes just ordering takeout, but I still couldn't find anything I was particularly satisfied with. Sometimes I accidentally ordered takeout during peak hours, but the delivery guy was so angry that I couldn't find anything I wanted to eat. It took over an hour for the order to be delivered, and the rice was already cold.
At present, the domestic takeout industry is still in its wild growth period, so there are often some unpleasant dining experiences.
For those who have been eating takeout for many years, the "monthly package" of Moyu Takeout means that they no longer have to worry about what to eat every day. The randomly delivered meals give them a sense of " On the other hand, it also ensures the food delivery time and experience.
Because this "monthly package" is like another form of advance booking, because Moyu Takeout stores have estimated the order volume in advance and can guarantee the cooking and delivery of most meals. meal time, so the taste and dining experience will also be improved.
The "monthly package" set by Qiao Liang is lunch and dinner every Monday to Friday.
His current life is to get up every morning and go for a walk downstairs, go to a nearby bun shop to have breakfast, walk around for a while, and then cut videos or play games when he comes back. Lunch and gameplay are waiting for him. Just have it delivered to your door on the hour.
On Saturdays and Sundays, I sometimes go out to meet fans or friends, and sometimes IOrder some other takeaways at home, such as fried chicken, milk tea, roast duck, etc., to improve the taste.
At noon today, Qiao Liang was still reading the latest news while eating Moyu takeout as usual.
A lot has happened in more than a month, and the thing that Qiao Liang is most concerned about is obviously the GPL league that will be held in Jingzhou.
He even went to the familiar place of Mingyun Villa to get to know the gates of various e-sports clubs, and he also broadcast live to fans.
Recently, various live broadcast platforms have emerged one after another, and more and more money has been spent. As an UP owner with his own fans, Qiao Liang will naturally not miss this opportunity.
It’s just that there is a big difference between being a UP host and being an anchor. Most of the audience for Qiao Liang’s live broadcast are his own die-hard fans, which is not very popular.
But for Qiao Liang, he can also live stream and earn some money for gifts besides eating. This life is already very beautiful.
"Huh? What is this?"
"Update announcements for "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Game Maker"?"
"These two Is this game still being updated? ?"
When Qiao Liang saw the discussion in his fan group, he thought it was a joke at first.
That’s not true. How old is this game? It’s still being updated?
Wouldn’t it be better to just let them be buried peacefully?
Qiao Liang couldn’t help but sigh. Among the many game companies at home and abroad he had seen, Tenda was definitely the most unique one.
Obviously we have a dominant online game like GOG, and new games are still under development. The priority of these development work must be much higher than updating old games, right?
As a result, Mr. Pei insists on dedicating manpower to maintain these old games that have almost no popularity and not many people play. This is outrageous!
You really won’t abandon or give up?
