Inebriation-seeking Blue Shirt

This book is also known as: "How Programmers Turn a Crappy Game into a Timeless Classic with a Single BUG"

Recently, the president of Nitiandang, Gu Fan, once again fell from grace due to a minor bug in his new game.
As a top-notch designer in the industry, all of the games designed by Gu Fan have very distinct characteristics:
At first, players felt that these games were monotonous, dull, and purely revolting garbage.
However, once players discovered a major bug, the gameplay underwent a drastic transformation, rendering them sleep-deprived and unable to quit!
So, players once again launched a major debate over "whether this is actually a bug or a game mechanic."
In response to this, Gu Fan clarified in an interview with all seriousness:
"Hello everyone, I'm the game designer Gu Fan, but you can also call me by my English name: fan·gu (means rebel).
"I want to reiterate firmly that these so-called 'core gameplays' were not part of our company's original design—they are bugs! It's just that we didn't fix them because the players liked them!"

Why the bug I wrote became a core gameplay mechanic?!

Gu Fan cleared his throat twice, "Don't freak out just yet. Since the ideas are already on the table, try your best to base your design on these two concepts."


"After all, by continuously deriving from these two ideas, the gameplay will quickly emerge."


Wei Chengjie's mouth twitched slightly. President Gu's words were hardly comforting!


However, under the watchful eyes of both the boss and the investor, Wei Chengjie, as a professional designer, couldn't afford to show any weakness. He had no choice but to rack his brains and press on.


First of all, the first point, that equipment can be damaged and cannot be perfectly repaired, doesn't actually leave much room for design.


Because once it's determined that equipment can be damaged, many of the subsequent designs are fixed and cannot change.
