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

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!"

Chapter 398 What is Nitiandang up to?

"Okay, since there's such a glitch, I'm sorry, not really! Who needs to play fair?"

"If other games had this kind of glitch, using it might make one feel a bit guilty, but not this game!"

"Time to exploit it shamelessly!"

Instructor Ding once again opened "Heartbeat Dream," but this time he was smarter. He kept his hand on alt+F4, ready to shut down the game at the speed of light if anything went wrong!

If it were any other game, quitting the game could skip some challenges and Instructor Ding would feel somewhat guilty because that's not just skipping classes, it's like skipping school entirely.

But "Heartbeat Dream" never did preach integrity, mixing horror elements into a romance game, so don't blame players for not having integrity either!

The motivation for Instructor Ding to continue playing was very simple: the rewards!
