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

Chapter 345: Chapter 354: Fire Bullet

Wei Chengjie clicked the video with a puzzled face to check it out.

As the producer of "Legend of Infinity Fantasy," he often kept up with the latest developments in the game, but there was nothing particularly noteworthy.

Although a section of speedrun players were still playing daily, trying to discover new ways to play the game, their quirky maneuvers hardly influenced the majority of players’ gaming experience.

However, the title of the video today was obviously exaggerated, which caught Wei Chengjie’s attention.

In the video, a player controlled the Hero to a high platform.

The Hero jumped off the edge of the platform and threw a Flame Bomb behind him during the jump.

The player immediately drew a bow in midair, triggered Bullet Time, then quickly switched abilities and released a second bomb.

Both bombs detonated in succession!

Up to this point, Wei Chengjie could barely understand, it was just about throwing two bombs in a very short time after jumping.

But what happened in the next second completely baffled Wei Chengjie!

Just a second before the explosion of the bombs, he vaguely saw the shockwave created by the first Flame Bomb hit the second Flame Bomb against the Hero’s buttocks, and then the second Flame Bomb’s impact and explosion together generated a force that instantly propelled the Hero, even flying him out of the screen!

Although the Hero returned to the screen quickly, this strong propulsion didn’t stop but kept pushing him further away.

At this time, the Hero casually opened his Glider Wings and blew the Power of Wind behind, and he immediately drifted away at an extremely fast speed toward the horizon!

This speed was far higher than any known movement method in the game.

Once the Hero landed, the video’s creator didn’t forget to open the map for viewers to see the distance drifted, the previous little platform had turned into a small black dot in the far distance, barely visible, showing how far he had flown.

This maneuver left Wei Chengjie stunned. How was it done?

I made this game, and I had no idea it could even be done like that!

Soon, the video creator explained the details and principles of this move.

"This maneuver mainly utilizes the propulsion force of the Flame Bomb!"

"When I was testing the Flame Bomb, I noticed that it not only causes damage upon explosion but also generates a propulsion force which can disperse monsters.

"As the Flame Bomb is upgraded, the explosion damage increases slightly, but the propulsion force significantly intensifies!"

"Later, during a routine attempt, I discovered the Fire Bullet maneuver, and after numerous tests and adjustments, I finally developed a simple, easy-to-learn, and effective way to execute it!"

"The principle is simple, try to keep the two bombs and the Hero in a straight line in the air.

"Then the explosion of the first bomb propels the second bomb, which hits the Hero’s buttocks just right, and coupled with the explosion effect, creates a tremendous propulsion force that instantly launches the Hero!"

"Of course, there’s a certain chance of failure in executing this maneuver; if the bomb hits the wrong spot, like the Hero’s back, or if the bow is drawn too slowly to trigger Bullet Time, various mistakes can lead to a failure of the Fire Bullet.

"However, after some time of practice, I’ve been able to master it perfectly! Below are the detailed steps and precautions for this maneuver.

"I also programmed a controller macro, which I’ve linked in the video comments section. Feel free to use it if you’re interested!"

Wei Chengjie scrolled to the comments section and found a pinned comment from the uploader, which indeed contained a specific macro file.

Now many domestically produced controllers already support macro commands, and by pressing a specific macro button, corresponding actions can be executed.

If it’s the same brand of controller, you can import settings with one click. For different brands, you need to set it up yourself, but following the tutorial from the video uploader shouldn’t be too troublesome.

As for the others in the comments section, they were completely shocked by the video uploader’s maneuvers, all kinds of adulation ensued.

"Wow, that’s so awesome! I’d thought that the Flame Bomb was one of the most useless skills later in the game, but who knew it could be used like this?"

"Using this Fire Bullet maneuver to solve puzzles in ruins, isn’t that invincible?"

"Indeed it’s invincible, but then again, the ruins already had many ways to solve puzzles."

"This tutorial is so addicting! Have you ever seen the fantasy platform at three in the morning? I’ve been practicing here for hours, and the Lizardmen next to me have fallen asleep!"

"Hero: Handy, love using it, just my butt hurts a bit."

"I’ve learned it! From now on, I’ll never walk properly again, I’m going to measure the entire Fantasy Continent with Fire Bullet!"

Obviously, after seeing this video, many players of Legend of Infinity Fantasy got excited, as if a new world’s doors had been opened.

People had thought that there wasn’t much left to discover in the game, but unexpectedly, there’s always some ingenious players who manage to bring out something new!

And just the operation of a Fire Bullet is clearly not the end.

Soon, players in the comment section pointed each other in the right direction and discovered even more creative tricks in Legend of Infinity Fantasy!

The timings when these tricks were discovered varied; some were found within a week of the game’s release, while others only a few days ago. Each had a limited impact and, though they also had videos, they didn’t trigger much of a buzz.

But now, as time passed and popularity fermented, coupled with the emergence of many creative tricks, the gameplay of Legend of Infinity Fantasy subtly evolved.

And is now transforming from quantitative changes to qualitative ones!

"Wait, when did Legend of Infinity Fantasy have so many bizarre ways to play?"

Wei Chengjie did a quick count and found that just the redirect links in the comment section were numerous, and if he manually searched on video websites, he could find much more related content.

And after counting, he realized that during this time, players weren’t doing nothing; rather, they were accumulating little by little, gathering all the small bugs together!

"Man-made Mortar! A portable long-range weapon based on Flame Bomb and adhesive props!"

"Returning Thunder! A wide-range lethal weapon based on Boomerangs and Lightning Attribute!"

"On how to change direction and layer thrust in strong wind environments"

"Justice from the Sky! On the correct way to use adhesives!"

These titles, when viewed one or two at a time, might seem mundane, but all together, they were hard to suppress a chuckle.

Why does it feel like reading academic papers?

Many were "A design diagram of an XX product based on XX technology," and even under the videos, the comment sections listed references, claiming they were inspired by certain videos.

Wei Chengjie watched all these videos and felt like he had truly opened the doors to a new world.

He even had the illusion that the Legend of Infinity Fantasy everyone else was playing was not the same game as the one he played!
