Chapter 1185: Bug Communication Group

August 15th, Wednesday…

Yan Qi continued to look for bugs with the testing team and submitted them to the development team to be modified.

He had already fixed many bugs, but the new bugs that he found had not decreased at all!

He had to say that this situation was indeed very frustrating.

He felt like he was standing on a broken boat, scooping more and more water out!

Only Yan Qi was more optimistic and could withstand it.

Logically speaking, after the game ‘Blade of the Empire’ was developed, a small range of players had been arranged to test it. There might be bugs but it was not to the extent that they could not play it, right?

Now, a bunch of bugs were appearing out of nowhere. It was as if everything he had done before was useless.

It was like doing a math question. He was about to figure out the answer when he realized that he had imagined an implicit condition, causing him to miss a huge step. He had to fill in the gaps in the steps.

It was very difficult for his mentality to not have problems after suffering such a blow.

However, Yan Qi felt that there were only so many bugs. It was better to discover them sooner than later. Since the bugs could not be fixed, he could postpone it. It had been developed for months. He did not mind waiting a few more weeks.

Even Yan Qi, the boss, personally experienced the game repeatedly. Whenever he encountered new bugs, he would submit it to the development team and keep an eye on the progress.

After finding a few more bugs, Yan Qi prepared to rest.

He switched on his cell phone and realized that someone had invited him to a new group chat.

“Eh? ‘Dawn Games Platform’s Developers Conference’?”

“…Do we have to create a group? Isn’t that a little superfluous?”

After seeing the group name, Yan Qi felt that it was a little ridiculous.

He had never heard of a gaming platform that created a special group and pulled all the game developers in it!

That was because most games companies were only focused on their own games and did not care much about the situation of other games companies. Game platforms only needed to communicate with game manufacturers separately. Why did they have to create a group to pull everyone in?

However, on further thought, Yan Qi felt that it was nothing much to add to such a group. He could also get to know other companies in the industry.

The person who created the group was obviously a sub-account. Yan Qi guessed that this was one of the employees of Dawn Games.

He guessed correctly. Li Yada had created this group using her alternate account. The reason why she did not use her alternate account was mainly to prevent leaks.

Yan Qi did not think too much about it, because it was quite common to open alternate accounts at work. Many people separated their work and life accounts and specially used their work accounts to add business partners.

He glanced at the list of members in the group. There were only a dozen of them so far, but they were still inviting others in.

The group leader of the chat group, whose ID was ‘staff of Dawn Platform’, spoke first.

“h.e.l.lo, everyone! Thank you for your trust in Dawn Games. I created this group because I hope to share some new developments of the platform with everyone in time and strengthen communication. In addition, everyone can also communicate and share daily experiences in the group.”

“At the moment, the program for the Dawn of Games platform has basically been developed. The cloud server has also been arranged. I expect to start the trial operation before this weekend. The game that has been edited by bugs can be sent online by me in private. There’s no need to rush for those that have not been edited. After all, it’s still in the trial operation stage.”

“All in all, do your best, everyone!”

He even sent a ‘Struggle’ emoji at the end.

Yan Qi was a little surprised. Dawn games platform was quite efficient.

Due to the problems with technology in this world, game development and other programming were relatively fast. However, it was obviously not an easy task to complete the game platform in such a short period of time.

It looked like the technical team at Dawn Games was also a more mature technical team.

In addition, the behavior of building groups to communicate also made Yan Qi feel quite warm.

Other games platforms basically did not chat with developers after all. They discussed business seriously. Some large platforms even had huge shelves and often ignored small game companies.

Someone replied in no time.

“Ah, are we going to start the test run this weekend? I feel like our bugs can’t be fixed!”

“It’s not just impossible to change, we can’t even replicate those bugs…”

“+1, the situation here is the same. We want to vomit thinking about bugs!”

When they heard that the trial operation would start over the weekend, these companies obviously could not remain calm.

There might not be many players during the trial run but there were very few games on the platform. The games that were released could basically obtain good recommendation spots.

Thus, there were many benefits to partic.i.p.ating in this test run.

However, the problem was that the bugs could not be fixed!

Many companies did not even know how to reproduce the bugs that had already been triggered, much less fix them. “Change all the bugs” was easy to say, but it was probably a long way to go.

Of course, the conditions of Dawn Games were not to “fix all the bugs”, but for “Manager Tang to not meet more than three bugs after playing for half an hour”.

Many gaming companies had some wishful thinking because of this. After fixing more than ten bugs, they brought the game to them again. In the end, reality ruthlessly taught them how to behave.

Now, many people were highly suspicious. The gap between “Manager Tang playing for half an hour and found no more than three bugs” and “fix all the bugs” might be much smaller than everyone had imagined. It might not even exist.

It would have been better if not for this group. After entering this group, everyone realized that they were all the same!

They were all tortured by bugs.

Yan Qi looked at everyone’s conversation silently and suddenly realized that the situation he was in might not be an exception.

What’s more… no one seemed to have realized that this building was actually a place with good feng shui?

Yan Qi felt that he should do something to help them seeing how his colleagues were being tortured by bugs.

Even though he could not reduce the number of bugs, he could still speed up the number of bugs that he would find!

What’s more, this office building seemed to have many empty seats. It would not be a problem to come to a few more companies.

At that thought, Yan Qi replied in the group. “If everyone thinks that it’s difficult to find bugs again, I have a more mystical solution. You can just look for bugs in the Dawn Games platform. This seems to be a treasure ground. The chances of finding bugs have greatly increased!”

Yan Qi received a bunch of question marks the moment he sent the message.

“?”

“Brother, you’re so humorous. Why did you choose the location for bugs?”

“How is this metaphysics? You’re obviously lying to yourself…”

“Ah, don’t tell me that a building management team just joined the group.”

“Sh*t, it looks like there are too many bugs and the pressure of changing them is too great. The child is going crazy and is hallucinating!”

“Bro, believe in science. No matter where it is, the probability of bugs appearing is the same. It’s impossible for people who make games not to understand such a simple knowledge of probability, right?”

No one believed him at all.

This was also within Yan Qi’s expectations. After all, what he had said was too bizarre. He would not have believed it himself if he had not tested it repeatedly.

“Why would I lie to you?”

“I’ve already moved all the testing teams over. Take a look. [Picture]”

“You can come and try as well. Just send two testers to bring your own game over. There’s no loss anyway.”

Yan Qi did not say much. After all, this was complete metaphysics, and it was intermittent.

The weekend did not seem to be working.

He only wanted to help them because he saw that these companies had suffered from bugs.

Forget it if they did not believe it.

In any case, these companies could not complete the bugs and the game could not be released. It would not be in his way.

“I still think it’s ridiculous…”

“I’m quite close. Forget it, I’ll make a trip. If I can’t find a bug, you have to treat me to a meal!”

“Alright, everyone is in Jingzhou. It’s not bad to take the opportunity to meet and gather. I’ll go and take a look then.”

“Can someone send a location?”

Obviously, most people still felt that it was quite nonsensical and did not believe it at all.

However, these people were all small companies after all. They were all in the gaming circle of Jingzhou. It was good to get to know more people. Perhaps they would be able to help each other in the future. Thus, a few of the person-in-charge of the nearest companies discussed and decided to bring their own games over.

If he could not find any bugs, he would just treat it as a face base.

Yan Qi stopped looking at the group and continued looking for bugs.

Half an hour later, the people in charge who had spoken in the group slowly arrived.

There was the boss of a games company, the chief designer of the games, and the person-in-charge of the testing team here. He found the address Yan Qi gave directly.

After greeting each other, Yan Qi led them to the workstation that he had rented last week.

The testing team was still working nervously.

“Good lord, Boss Yan, did you really move the test team here?”

“I don’t know what to say.”

“Boss Yan, you don’t have to be so superst.i.tious, right? I thought you were just joking previously. However, it looks like your problem is much more serious than nonsense…”

These people might have come but they still did not believe that this place could detect bugs.

Yan Qi could not be bothered to explain further. “You’ll know after playing your own game.”

Everyone was skeptical. They found a place nearby to sit down and took out their cell phones to start their own game.

At the moment, most of the games on Dawn Games were mobile games. That was because the threshold for mobile games to be created was relatively low. What’s more, it was the development period of mobile games. There were many players, so mobile games were the best choice for these startups.

Those who were willing to work with Dawn Games were basically Jingzhou’s local small game companies, so they were basically all mobile games.

The representatives of various companies did not believe in such metaphysics at all.

However, after playing their own game for a few minutes, their expressions changed.

From disdain to shock, from shock finally to confusion.

That was because they realized that bugs were appearing frequently in the game!

In fact, bugs that had only appeared once before and never appeared again were now appearing again!

He did not calculate deliberately but he felt that the probability had obviously increased a lot!

However, his shock quickly turned into confusion.

His long-standing concept of materialism and science was being challenged at this moment…

At first, everyone thought that Yan Qi was joking. He was just joking.

After coming, everyone realized that the situation was more serious than that. Yan Qi was not joking. He really thought so and even moved the testing team over!

Thus, everyone began to worry about Yan Qi’s mental state.

Now, everyone realized that the severity of the situation had completely exceeded their understanding.

That was because what Yan Qi said was actually true!

Many people still found it hard to accept this fact. After closing the game process, they calmed down for a few minutes and opened the game again.

In the end, he still met a bunch of bugs. What’s more, they did not overlap with the previous bugs!

Everyone could not help but look at each other, feeling like their worldview had been overturned.

“There really is a place with good feng shui?”

“The chances of bugs that did not appear previously are obviously higher here!”

“I’ll call the person-in-charge of the test in our company and ask him to bring two tests here for testing!”

“I’m going to look for the building management and see if there are other work desks…”

“Wait a minute, don’t be anxious, everyone. I think that with the spirit of scientific, rigorous, and serious testing, we should try the other floors first and look for the floor with the best effect of this building. If there is a floor with better effect than this one, wouldn’t it be better for us to rent that floor directly?”
