Chapter 293 Test Team (25)

The next day, Kong Jue and his disciples who were interested in games and had certain talents arrived.

These disciples were at the foundation-building stage at the worst, and because they came from the Demon Sect's Origin Sect, they were always looking down on others. Only the people from the Wanfa Sect would let them look at them straight.

But now, after seeing Lin Yuan, they were all dry-mouthed and stuttered.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang Wai, I am your follower. Since I played your game, I have been obsessed with it and I wish I could play your game every day."

"Finally I saw Fang Wai alive!"

"I made a small game before, and I would like Mr. Fang Wai to give me some advice. At the same time, I want to know how to make the players feel painful while wanting to keep playing like Mr. Fang Wai?"

"It's worth it that I have plotted against more than a dozen fellow disciples, and finally I got this opportunity to meet you."

The one who plotted against his fellow disciples was taken out by Kong Jue and beaten up, and then he was transferred to the Zongheng Sect to play his strengths.

The Zongheng Sect is a group of guys who can't practice without some conspiracy, and this disciple is just right.

Since they are disciples of the Benyuan Sect, their brains are naturally qualified.

However, there are different divisions of labor in planning. Some are better at copywriting, some are good at numbers, some are good at gameplay, and some are good at level design.

These can be seen slowly later, so these people can be allowed to enter the team first to hone, and then slowly choose.

After calculating the current scale, Lin Yuan found that the entire team has expanded to hundreds of people at the beginning.

There are 20 people in the Benyuan Sect and 110 people in the Nightmare Sect, including five immortal masters. They can fight a small-intensity sect war when integrated.

After that, we have to continue to add people and continue to expand the team. The management difficulty is higher than that of Shennong Valley at the beginning.

Moreover, the disciples of the Demon Sect may be a little lax. At the beginning, they work hard because of the novelty, but after a long time, they may slack off, which will slow down the progress.

Especially for large-scale games, even if these people are cultivators, plus they have opened the time magic, it will take at least half a month of real time to complete.

Moreover, many departments are currently missing, and art and sound effects are not in place. If we wait until they are found before starting, a lot of time and morale will be wasted.

In this case, the best management method is the agile development model.

The advantage of the agile development model is rapid iteration and rapid development. The entire game is iterated through time periods, and each time period can change the version content.

Its advantage is that it can be faced to players in advance, allowing players to see the game content at the beginning of the game, thereby reducing the possibility of problems with the game after a long period of development.

The initial game may only have a vague framework, but with the continuous iteration of the version, the content of the game will be continuously filled.

Moreover, each version can receive feedback from players, and its own problems can be continuously optimized and improved throughout the process.

And for the disciples of the Demon Sect, the iteration of the version is also a good opportunity to provide external stimulation.

The effect can be seen at the beginning of the game, and there can be new gains every time after the version iteration. There are always various stimulations in the whole process, which is a model very suitable for the disciples of the Demon Sect.

However, agile development is not without disadvantages.

The whole team needs to be highly coordinated, and agile development is used in occasions with fewer people. If there are more people, they must be divided into groups, and they must actively pay attention to the connection between each group. When problems arise, they also need to communicate and solve them in a timely manner.

Fortunately, dreams have their own particularity. If a part of the content is not seen by the player, then this part of the content can be blurred and no problem will occur.

In other words, if a part has a problem, as long as the player does not see it, then this place can be treated as a black box and the game will not report an error.

In this case, the advantages of group development can also be reflected, but it still requires a large testing team to always pay attention to and solve the problem.

First, let the people of Benyuan Sect read the planning manual he wrote. Lin Yuan and the 18-year-old Yue Linglong were eating watermelon, and couldn't help saying, "Where should we find the testing team?"

"Are there any requirements? I'll help you solve it."

Looking at Yue Linglong who was chewing watermelon like a hamster, Lin Yuan took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and then said, "It's best to be online all day, and you can sneak into dreams at will, and you can record any problems at any time."

"It's not easy to find." Yue Linglong said embarrassedly, "The problem with dreams is that you can't realize that you are dreaming, and once you realize it, you will wake up quickly. The monks of the Nightmare Gate can do it, but their number is not large. Most of them are helping you deal with structural problems. It's not easy to find them."

"Well..."

Although some problems in dream games can be avoided, other problems will follow.

Testing requires finding problems, but the difficulty is that after finding problems in dreams, they will wake up quickly, and then they have to repeat the process.

This is a huge waste of time and efficiency, and agile development is a development model with a very obvious barrel effect. The efficiency of testing has now become the shortcoming of this management model.

Yue Linglong also thought for a long time, then leaned on Lin Yuan's shoulder with her head tilted, and said in embarrassment: "Your requirements are too high. If it doesn't work, just trouble that fat guy."

"Is the fat guy you are talking about called Zhang Decai? Master Zhang is very busy."

"Then apart from that fat guy, only ghosts can fulfill your needs."

"The requirements are indeed a bit high... Wait, ghosts?"

Clapping his hands, Lin Yuan suddenly realized.

Why didn't he think of asking a ghost cultivator to complete this task!

Ghost cultivators can send dreams, can enter and exit dreams at will, and will not wake up after discovering problems.

And because ghost cultivators have low desires, if some functions can ignite their desires, then it means that the content of this game is well done, which is equivalent to testing the gameplay.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan felt that he could also ask the Ghost King for help.

Immediately contacted the Ghost King, Lin Yuan told him his idea, and the other party immediately agreed.

"If it is this task, we, the Yinhun Hall, will naturally have no choice. And we ghost cultivators can also play the new game, I think everyone should be very happy. Even if you don't invite us, I will find a chance to contact you after I know it."

The Ghost King was so easy to talk to, and Lin Yuan was relieved.

In less than a day, the Ghost King's people arrived.

Hundreds of ghost cultivators gathered in Yue Linglong's study, and the chilly ghost energy lowered the temperature a little.

The leading woman lowered her head, revealing her white neck, and said grimly: "Mr. Fangwai, I am Bai Gui, and I am here to support you on the orders of the Ghost King."
