"Have all the bugs reported by the testing team been tested? What about the programming team?"
“I have basically tested everything, there are no problems, and the values are all normal. Players will be able to experience it normally after the update is completed tomorrow.”
After checking the new version of "Expedition Girls" from beginning to end and confirming that the sections that each group was responsible for were correct, Jiang Yucheng nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, I will do the final finishing work, those who have things to do at home or want to take a rest can leave work early."
"Long live!" "Thank you, boss!"
Along with the employees' voices of gratitude, the employees who had originally gathered around the computers also left one after another.
After finishing the final work, Jiang Yucheng turned off the computer, took a deep breath, and looked at the black screen of the computer in front of him with a complicated expression.
Everything that needs to be done has been done. We are just waiting for the new version to go online tomorrow and observing the data feedback from the background.
As Jiang Yucheng posted the update announcement on the official website of Thorn Interactive Entertainment, the few remaining players of "Expedition Girls" also quickly noticed the update announcement.
There is no doubt that all the players who have stayed with "Expedition Girls" until now instead of switching to "Empire Expedition" are basically loyal fans of this game. Even if they often complain about the wise planning, it is because they are disappointed with the game. Deep down in their hearts, these players still hope that this game can become better.
Therefore, when the update announcement came out, everyone who was still following this game, whether they had quit the game or not, looked over curiously:
“I don’t know why, but I always feel like this game might be dead tomorrow… But the official even updated it? Does this mean they are trying to make a last-ditch effort?”
"I read the announcement. In addition to changing the weird gameplay from last time, they also added a few new characters and new skins. Emmmmm, the official is not planning to make a quick buck and run away, right? The game is already so unpopular, and they are still opening a new card pool? Are you crazy?"
"When I saw the gameplay changes earlier, I thought your game could be saved, but all you did was show me new characters and new skins? You're just trying to make money, right? Are you dissatisfied with the game? You're still thinking about making money at this time. Can't you be more careful?"
Just when players were discussing and expressing their disappointment, the official of Thorn Interactive Entertainment made a separate analysis post for the new card pool and new characters.
The players were already angry, but the officials not only turned a blind eye to their demands, but also intensified their efforts to promote new characters
Many players who happened to be paying attention to the game announcement were immediately amused.
OK, you want to make money, right? I want to see what kind of amazing characters you guys have created, and you still expect some krypton gold tycoon to pay for you!
With the idea of quitting the game after taking a look at the new characters, players casually clicked on the new character analysis post.
silence.
Seeing that the group that was lively and angry half a minute ago suddenly became quiet, some Banyun players who had uninstalled "Expedition Girls" a long time ago suddenly became a little confused:
"Why is no one talking? What happened? Did Thorn do something outrageous again? I haven't paid attention to the game for a long time. Is there anyone who can broadcast it?"
No one paid any attention to him.
After a minute-long silence, someone finally came back to his senses from the new character's novel skill mechanism and overly beautiful face—
"What the hell! What kind of godly character is this!"
This sentence seemed to be like a switch. As a new chat box popped up, more players who heard the news and read the analysis post also joined the topic:
“Did you change your game artist? The new character portraits are so good-looking! I want to lick them right now! Who said ‘there are only a few new characters and new skins’? Come out and see me use my wife’s unparalleled beauty to slap you in the face! [Picture][Picture][Picture]”
"Wake up buddy, didn't you say that yourself? You just said that Thorn was crazy. You changed your expression so quickly, didn't you?"
"Nonsense, she's obviously my wife!"
"Alright, alright, isn't he just a paper man? Is it fun to argue about such fake things all day long? Isn't it better to face the reality like me? I'm lying in bed with my wife Chris."
"Stop talking. I don't think I can sleep well and wait for the server to open tomorrow. I just want to practice cultivation until four in the morning and spend as much money as possible when the new card pool comes out!"
After a popular game anchor on a live streaming platform reposted the new character illustrations of the new version of "Expedition Girls", the pictures of these new cards quickly spread on the Internet.
It has to be said that for a large number of otaku players, a beautiful portrait that fully meets their aesthetic standards can often occupy a considerable proportion in their hearts. In the face of many passers-by attracted by the portrait, the original players of "Expedition Girls" also put aside their past prejudices and dissatisfaction and started to recommend it seriously and fairly:
"Gameplay? Generally speaking, it's similar to "Empire Expedition". There were some weird operations before, but the official attitude is good and they have made good changes. The new version has basically the same gameplay, but the new character portraits are very beautiful, and the skills, portraits and background stories are well integrated. And it's only been less than a month since the public beta, so it's still a good time to get in."
"Which one is more fun, Expedition Girls or Empire Expedition? I think it's Expedition Girls. Empire Expedition was inspired by Expedition Girls in the beginning. If it weren't for the previous accident, Yunsu's imitation game wouldn't be so high on the best-selling list now."
—
"Is there an update to "Expedition Girls"?"
Unlike Jingzhi Interactive Entertainment, which left work early, as one of the production teams under Yunsu Games, overtime has long been a common occurrence at Fengling Studio. At this moment, the chief planner had just put down his work and was about to take a short break when he heard the voices of his colleagues around him talking.
"Yeah, I heard it will be online at 4am tomorrow. I think their new character portraits are pretty good. A lot of people are posting them today."
The chief planner frowned and coughed heavily.
Several artists suddenly realized that they had said something inappropriate and quickly shut up and stopped discussing it.
The entire office returned to calm once again. Compared to the small wave of excitement caused by the character illustrations on the Internet, "Expedition Girls" failed to cause any waves on its competitors' side.
Is "Expedition Girls" going to be updated
oh.
For the employees of Wind Chime Studio, this kind of game that is outside the top 100 on the best-selling list is not worthy of their attention at all. They just forget about it after hearing about it and naturally don't take it to heart, let alone regard it as a competitor.
Just like that, with a small number of players eagerly waiting and a large number of passers-by curiously watching, "Expedition Girls" ushered in its first version update after its server launch.
Luo Gaofeng is just such a passerby player.
Unlike die-hard players who deliberately waited until four in the morning for the game to be updated, Luo Gaofeng did not wait until the next morning when he woke up from his sleep, and then he downloaded the installation package of "Expedition Girls" with the idea of just playing around.
While the phone was automatically downloading, Luo Gaofeng ordered a takeaway. When he finished washing up and returned to his phone, the game "Expedition Girls" had already been installed.
After going through the initial novice guidance plot and levels, Luo Gaofeng finally had time to click on his own "Team" page.
"Well, the illustrations are indeed very pretty, and the style is very much to my liking," Luo Gaofeng nodded with satisfaction, "I hope I won't be disappointed next time."
After roughly understanding the game operations, Luo Gaofeng began to advance the map.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
It wasn't until his stomach started to growl that Luo Gaofeng suddenly woke up. He subconsciously glanced at the time in the upper right corner of his phone and was surprised to find that he had pushed the map for three hours without realizing it? And he didn't feel bored at all
Is this game poisonous
If you are an ordinary player, after discovering this, you can either choose to follow your heart and continue to indulge in the game, or give up the game and uninstall it directly.
But Luo Gaofeng is a veteran player after all.
Luo Gaofeng had played the game of the same type, Empire Expedition, but he would get bored easily after playing a few levels, and would wish to add a speed-up function to the battle screen, or even skip it directly. But when it comes to Expedition Girls, he would not have any idea of skipping the battle.
Why
With an inquiring mindset, Luo Gaofeng compared "Empire Expedition" and carefully observed the similarities and differences between the two battle scenes, and finally found the problem -
Each of the battle dynamic scenes of "Expedition Girls" is more refined and delicate than that of "Imperial Expedition". The latter remains unchanged, while the former will add interesting details to each level of the map. In comparison, one is naturally playable and the other is boring.
"That's quite impressive," Luo Gaofeng became interested. Looking at the picture of "Expedition Girls", it was obvious that the studio had a dedicated art director, which was quite rare in mobile games. "I won't comment on other aspects, but the art director of this game is really good..."
As he spoke, he curiously clicked on the list of the studio production team of "Expedition Girls" -
Art Director: Mu Suxing.
Luo Gaofeng: …
As an animation fan who loved "IS" and also followed the legendary work "Love Superpower", Luo Gaofeng was silent when faced with the name on the screen that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar.
He paused for a long moment, then as if he suddenly remembered something, he suddenly turned the page to the side with the new character portraits. However, to his despair, the name written at the back of the signature was still the name that he could not forget every time he dreamed of the ending of "The Superpower of Love" where the girls scrambled to dismember the hero.
Luo Gaofeng suffocated.
Damn, why is it you again
