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?!

Enhancing Qing Lin benefits both the current players who have Qing Lin and those who do not yet but might obtain her in the future.


Because they feel that enhancing Qing Lin has devalued originally powerful characters like Lei Tu and Cold Frost.


Everyone was playing well with Lei Tu and Cold Frost, and then suddenly you enhance Qing Lin. Isn't this just prompting everyone to pull for Qing Lin again?


Although the game experience hasn't changed, this comparison still makes many players uncomfortable.


Zhuge Jun continued to explain: "This is the main reason why many developers refrain from enhancing characters and adjusting game balance.


"Because enhancing a character can make players feel that their own characters are devalued. And enhancing old characters has no actual benefits for the developers.
