Chapter 127 Game Testing
Time passed little by little, and as before, Chuhe still kept posting a picture about the setting of the road to survival, or the guns, servants and so on on Weibo every day.

The expectation of countless players from the beginning has also become a habit.

In the Tianhe Network office building in Qilin Park, a group of different guests were ushered in.

The active player of FAZE, a European and American FPS giant, is known as NIKO, the God of War in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

And shroud, a retired player from the C9 club with a long history in North America, made his debut as a talented FPS player at the beginning, but he himself did not adapt to the professional arena. He had brilliant and shocking moves, but most of them were still used as a breakthrough, but it cannot be denied His FPS talent, among passers-by and live broadcast platforms, even most active professional players cannot beat him.

In addition to the two of them, there are some other high-level players who were invited by Chuhe to conduct the first round of tests for Left [-] Dead.

Many of them were contacted by Chuhe through EA's relationship, and they will conduct a five-day test on the Tianhe network.

"A cool office environment." Led by the staff, everyone came to Tianhe Network's office.

Looking at the entertainment facilities placed next to them, everyone couldn't help but praise.

Unlike most game companies in China, Tianhe Network can be said to be a wonderful flower.

Ping-pong tables, host game halls, and even in the corner of the office, you can find seesaws and neatly arranged arcade machines.

If we only talk about the comfort of the working environment, Tianhe Network can definitely rank among the top in the world.

It can be said that if you make a table, what is the company that a person in the game industry wants to enter the most, then there is no doubt that 80.00% of them will choose Tianhe Network.

It's just that Chuhe itself has no idea of ​​rapid expansion. Although it recruits a group of people every year, most of them are mainly for school recruitment, and social recruitment only accounts for 30.00% of the quota.

"Only with a good environment can we make excellent games." Chuhe said with a smile, and at the same time introduced his company to them personally.

"That's right, Famine is very good, and of course the world is also very good, but I can't understand some of its plots." Shroud next to him said with a smile.

The difference with niko is that as a big anchor on Twitch, although most of his games are FPS games, sometimes he also plays other types of games as an adjustment during the live broadcast.

He has also played Famine and Jianghu, but of course the time is not as long as FPS games.

Listening to a few people next to him discussing famine and Jianghu, niko was a little confused. As a professional FPS player, although he had heard of famine and Jianghu, he had never tried it himself. After all, he needed regular training. Stay competitive.

This time, being able to accept Tianhe Network's invitation to participate in the test, besides having a small amount of money, the more important thing is that the club has just finished a game and is going on vacation.

Seeing Niko's bewilderment next to him, Chu He said: "I believe you should already know, this time, please mainly test our new game 'Left [-] Survival'"

Needless to say, Chuhe has extra things, this thing has been clearly introduced in the previously signed contract.

As for the responsibilities of testing, Chuhe doesn't need to pay too much attention. To some extent, they are more professional than Chuhe in how to test games.

Relevant game bugs are tested by professional game testers, and like shroud and niko, they put forward their own suggestions on gameplay.

Soon everyone entered the studio's trial room, and the entire room was covered with game posters.

"It's really cool, is it a doomsday-themed game?" Looking at the zombie picture on the poster, Shroud said.

"Is there a plan for PC?" Niko also asked.

"Of course there is, but so far we have focused all our energy on the host platform." Chu He nodded and said.

If it is a PC platform, then the gap between a master and a rookie will be very different, but if it is a console platform, there is not such a high requirement for the so-called marksmanship.

Because almost all FPS games will have a built-in self-aiming system.

Everyone sat down in batches and began to try out the game.

Sitting on the sofa, he adjusted himself to a comfortable position. Shroud entered the game.

With the end of the previous game company's logo, a rotten palm slowly appeared on the dark screen, and at the same time, countless flies flew around and made buzzing sounds.

"Wait a moment!"

Four vague figures slowly appeared in the picture, a white middle-aged and elderly retired soldier, a black college student, and an ordinary biker and ordinary workplace employee.

"The actual game screen? This is awesome!" Looking at the CG of the screen and enjoying it for about ten seconds, shroud said to himself, and then he didn't intend to continue watching, but directly pressed start key to enter the game.

"Let me see, um, this is what the single-player campaign is about. Can you also choose the third person and No.1 title?"

After looking at the options interface at the beginning, shroud chose No.1 and entered the game.

No one told them, it was all on their own to play, which was actually part of the test.

To test the guidance of the game, they themselves are high-level players of the game, and they are very familiar with the game. Basically, they can quickly get started with any game.

But if it's a game, even they are a little confused at the beginning.

That is obviously even more unfriendly to ordinary players.

I dare not say whether the content of the game is good or bad, but at least the guidelines at the beginning are much worse.

"Wow, there is an AK in this room. I like this gun, but the bullets are a little short."

Chu He stood by and watched the crowd try out the game. Most of them were silent and concentrated on playing the game. For example, Niko was serious and sat upright to manipulate the characters in the game, constantly shooting zombies, and discovering new things at the same time. After the gun is shot, the wall will be shot, and the ballistic and recoil of the firearm will be tested.

In comparison, shroud, who is two places away from him, seems a bit talkative, or because he is a twichi anchor, he often talks to himself and introduces himself when playing games.

"Wow, these zombies look ferocious, but they feel like rag dolls, and I have 3 strong NPC teammates. This easy difficulty is really too easy, it's like mowing grass." shroud While trying to play the game, I feel emotional.

　The road to survival written in the book is 1+2, not 1 or 2 alone
