This thread was posted around 10am.
By noon, the number of replies reached 400+.
At the same time, there is a small word 'hot' next to the post, which is very eye-catching.
This means it's a popular post.
Because it is noon, people who work and go to school are eating and resting now.
Therefore, the Fourth Natural Disaster Club also received a lot of midday traffic.
And these people discovered the 'reveal' post almost immediately.
Suddenly, the players were in an uproar.
Am I super?
Is "Bloody Scientist" having fun again?
Yang Ying?
main designer?
How to be forced to death by higher-ups?
Meow meow meow!
What a big news!
!
As a result, netizens surfing the Internet clicked on this hot post of the day.
Then I scrolled down and saw a lot of text content and...office photos!
This is actually a post with great pictures and text!
The photos inside further verify the authenticity of the content in the post!
At this point, the players are excited.
If the poster is really the so-called "Bloody Scientist" designer, then the rich content of this post will definitely be a super fun!
I always love to have fun!
I want to see what happened to Blood Scientist during its development!
So, the players of the Fourth Natural Disaster Club returned to the first floor and began to take a closer look at this so-called reveal.
The first sentence is naturally the poster’s self-introduction.
[rt, as you can see from the title, I am the lead designer of Blood Scientist and the overall head of the jump team on its development team. ]
[I have resigned and have no relationship with Jiyou Network. ]
[I originally didn’t plan to post this post, but what I did was really disgusting to me. In order to avoid the hot discussion on the Internet, they brought the disbanded jump group to the forefront of the v-blog to accept accusations and misunderstandings. ]
[I admit that our development team has to bear some responsibility for the failure of "Bloody Scientist", but I, Yang Ying, can use my reputation to guarantee that if it weren't for the stupid senior executives of Jiyou, this game would never be what you see. Such! ]
Seeing this, the players of the Fourth Natural Disaster Club's eyes lit up.
Stupid senior management?
I'm wondering, is "Bloody Scientist" the product of high-level interference? Or is it the reason for the confusion in the development team?
interesting.
Things are really getting interesting.
Players understand that in the gaming circle, there is a phenomenon that is difficult to stop.
That's when the top management of the game company intervened in the development team.
For example, this is the case with a foreign FPS called "Revengeance 3".
It tells the story of a special soldier who was framed by an officer to pay for his crime, and then was rescued by his former comrades and began to seek revenge and clear his name.
The first two generations of the game are of high quality, the plot has a certain depth, and the level design is extremely interesting and will not make you bored.
But by the third generation, players found that the game seemed to be made by a different team, with drawbacks everywhere.
Let’s not talk about the common problems such as the bloody plot, the accumulation of enemies, and the repeated levels.
What really makes players feel uncomfortable is the story of the protagonist in the previous generation falling in love with a black girl who was a passerby, and then being killed by the plot. Then the son of the protagonist went around the world as a black man to find the enemy who killed his father, and finally forgave him with tears in his eyes.
It simply shocked the gamer community.
But this is just one of the bad situations where high-level executives interfere in game development.
What's more, there are even high-level interference in development that leads to dissatisfied employees leaving the company, and high-level interference in development that makes the game different from the original demo.
What should happen is that high-level interference in development makes the game run counter to the players, etc.
In short, high-level intervention in game development cannot be said to be completely harmful, but it definitely does more harm than good!
So from this point of view, what is the situation of "Bloody Scientist"?
The players then looked at the post.
However, the next paragraph made them slightly stunned.
[The game "Bloody Scientist" was developed to enter the horror game market and occupy a certain share, and to lay the foundation for future games. ]
[In other words, this game is used by Tech Games to test the market, not for our players. It is fundamentally used by senior executives to pave the way for future products. ]
】
[Therefore, the development cycle of this game is very short, less than a year including the day of release. ]
[Yes, you read that right, The Blood Scientist was developed in less than a year. Our 32 partners in the jumping team worked overtime day and night to achieve this level. ]
[During this period, some people fainted at their work stations due to excessive overtime work, some were dizzy due to long-term lack of sleep, and some even suffered from insomnia and were depressed all day long. ]
[I want to pour out my heart to everyone! I want to tell all the players! We tried our best! We have paid! But we really tried our best! It’s not that we don’t want to make the game a good job, it’s just that the senior management of Silly Bird is eager for quick success and compresses time again and again, making it impossible for us to make it! ]
Seeing this, the players couldn't help but frown.
One year?
Or 32 people?
Can this make a quality game?
What's more, it's the so-called 'horror + shooting' innovative FPS.
This is something that even major foreign manufacturers cannot do!
Technology game executives may think that game development is too simple.
Although the only domestic games are released every few months, there are at least a hundred people in the credits after completing each of their games, so it's natural.
In addition, "Dark Forest" was originally promoted as being developed by one person, which was controversial.
However, the reason why Weiyou is so productive is not only because of its large development team, but also because of its solid partner, Infinite Entertainment. Therefore, there should be no shortage of development funds, after all, the reputation is there.
And your technical game development team only has 32 people, how can it be compared with other people's teams of hundreds of people.
There is also the requirement to make a game for one year, and even this small amount of time must be compressed. It really feels like using people as tools!
but...
The players were confused.
Why are tech game executives so eager to release it?
With such curiosity, the players then read the post.
At this time, the writing style of the post began to become sharp and emotional.
[A certain president of a technical game, whose last name I won’t reveal, repeatedly interferes in game development. ]
[Why is "The Bloody Scientist" criticized by everyone for not finishing it? It’s thanks to this CEO who has a long-term vision. ]
[It was originally planned to have 12 levels, but when the 10th level was produced, the 'eager' president forced it to be deleted. ]
[why? Very simple! ]
[Because he wants to make money quickly while the topic is still hot before the only game releases a new game. For this reason, we did not hesitate to use the "reverse bounce" move to gain attention. In the end, our jump team faced huge time pressure, so we rushed to the shelves without careful polishing, resulting in this irreparable mistake. ]
[To this, I just want to say, damn it, if you don’t understand, don’t show off your superior status to me! ]
[Before development, I said it was only for quality and reputation, not for sales and profits. We took it seriously and believed that we really wanted to make a masterpiece comparable to the only game we had. As a result, during the development process, they repeatedly interfered with the work plan, belittled us, were eager to realize cash, and had double standards, which made a lot of our efforts go to waste! ]
[The senior executive requested that the process be shortened, the script be compressed, and the finale be released in advance. His mind full of data reports was extremely simple, but he didn't know how much trouble it caused us and how difficult it was for us to do. ]
[I tried to explain to him the model, art, music and sound effects, as well as testing, numerical adjustment and other extremely time-consuming work. This does not include optimization and bug fixing. ]
[But do you know how that stupid senior officer responded? ]
[The CEO who only sees business and utilization value asked me why the game took so long? Why don’t mobile games from other development teams take that long? ]
[Do you know how I felt after hearing this? I just want to fucking slap him! ]
[And finally, do you know how much time we have to cut down the game and put it on the shelves? ]
[Five days! ]
[Yes! You read that right, we only have five days! And do you think it can be done in five days? ]
[Obviously not! ]
[However, the wise CEO of Jiyou thought that was enough. ]
[Also, he said something that I will never forget. ]
[That is: 'You must not only ensure the quality for me, but also complete the game for me within the specified time. ']
Wow——
Seeing this, players can understand who the problem is, no matter how much they like to have fun.
Within five days, both quality assurance and development must be completed.
This is simply impossible.
This statement is actually correct when taken in isolation, but it is obviously outrageous when used in this situation.
From this point of view, this 'wise president' should be the type of person who is just pointing fingers and reading data reports, rather than someone who truly understands the industry.
No wonder why a company as big as Jiyou can produce such stand-alone games.
Emotions are being directed blindly by Sabi’s senior management!
With the current quality of "Bloody Scientist", it is a complete waste of manpower and time.
Not only did it lose its reputation, but it also lost development talents and some players and users. I simply don’t know how to evaluate this senior executive.
The players expressed their condolences for the whistleblower, and then continued reading.
The post continues and the content continues.
[After explaining the chaos of game development to everyone, I would like to answer the questions online about whether "Bloody Scientist" will continue to be updated and optimized. ]
[First of all, our jump group has been disbanded, members have resigned, and choreographers have been reorganized. For a 'tool' that fails to bring profit to the company, it is almost impossible to get subsequent maintenance. ]
[Simply put, it has been abandoned. ]
[A certain president personally said that this 'tool' that is supposed to make money is used to expand the market, and there is no need to consider the player group or the taste of players. ]
[In his eyes, players are just wrongdoers, and they don’t need to be maintained in batches. ]
[Despite my repeated requests, a certain CEO still insisted on going his own way, thinking that he had a high position, knew more than us, and could control the overall situation. ]
[Dead Space, the only game released some time ago with a space science fiction theme, received a warning from a certain CEO because it was the same as "Bloody Scientist". ]
[Including the shooting system of "Sky Mountain" a long time ago, which was also accused of plagiarism by a certain president. ]
[I admit that a certain CEO of Jiyou has outstanding abilities and strength in some aspects. But in terms of game development, I can only say that you are nothing! ]
[Here, I, Yang Ying, ask the players to forgive us under my real name. We can't maintain the game, we failed, and we're sorry for you. But we will never take the blame! You will never be dragged out by Jiyou to focus your fire! ]
[Players please look at this matter rationally, our development team is also a victim! ]
...
After reading the entire post, the players of the Fourth Natural Disaster Club finally understand why "Bloody Scientist" became like this.
Let’s not talk about the shortcomings in all aspects. It took 32 people to do it under the circumstances of insufficient time and compressed time!
In other words, this is a game that was screwed up by the top brass.
Players spent money and were wronged, and the development team was disbanded because it failed to meet expectations.
It’s true that he lost his wife and lost his troops!
Who exactly is the 'certain senior CEO' in Yang Ying's post is actually not difficult to find.
You can find out who it is by searching on Chaqi.com.
An Yuanlong!
The top executive president of Jiyou Network!
After the players learned about the target, without saying a word, they ran to the v-blog of Jiyou and turned on the Yin and Yang mode.
They all accused a certain senior executive of Jiyou of having outstanding ability, long-term vision and good command.
And those who bought the game were even more rude. They directly used the keyboard to curse An Yuanlong bloody, venting their dissatisfaction at being wronged.
In this way, after a full day, Jiyou was so criticized that he immediately started to shrink back and delete the blog in place, not daring to bubble up.
But even so, the Internet is still full of anger.
Yang Ying's posts were wildly reposted on major platforms and groups, letting more people know the cause and effect of the incident.
It's not easy for technical games.
Whoever helps the big V or manufacturers on V blog to speak up will be punished.
Some big Vs are very tough. Because they helped the technical game and were bullied by the players, they couldn't get angry and went out to fight in person. As a result, they were completely covered by firepower. They deleted their blogs and said that they were depressed because of the online violence.
Some big Vs were charged, and they said they would seek legal assistance to let players know that the Internet is not a lawless place.
Then he was charged a second time.
There are even more big Vs who deliberately made players angry, called them grievances, and tried to find problems within themselves. As a result, they were boxed out with real information the next day, issued an apology overnight, and then moved away.
For three whole days, no big V could help speak to the manufacturer.
Jiyou himself has been silent since he was rushed, and vowed to keep his head down and fight to the end.
Just like that, two more days passed.
While the players continued to talk about this matter, another shocking news quietly broke out.
That is the media rating ban on the VR version of "Dark Forest" has been lifted!
