Is the internal beta and public beta of online games a technical need or a commercial promotion

The internal test was originally launched for technical adjustment and improving the game program. In the early days, there was no doubt about that, but now, it is true that many companies like you, like some Korean online games, don't need a particularly long closed beta period when they are transferred to the Chinese market, because the game has been tested for a long time in South Korea. However, it does not mean that all closed beta tests are for commercial copying.

There are many examples, if a paid online game, the closed beta will not be very long, and the open beta will be even shorter (such as World of Warcraft, which has only been in public beta for 2 weeks,).

And also. The game to find bugs is by no means nonsense as you say, there is no bug-free program in the world, let alone games. The closed beta is to better improve the game.

Digression: World of Warcraft seems to have taken 2 years of internal testing alone, and I started to have news of the internal test in my second year of high school, and I only played the open beta version until my freshman year, which made me sigh at the long time and the hard waiting. Of course, produced by Blizzard, it must be a high-quality product, so for a beloved game, waiting is also a pleasure, hehe.

Hope you are healthy gaming,

The open beta is just a game that is not done well.,It's just an excuse to improve.,Why a good game can not be a closed beta?,The open beta can also be only two weeks.,It can be not updated for a year and a half.,Bad games have problems every once in a while.,How to explain the signboard of the open beta.。

Strictly speaking, online game testing is divided into three steps: closed beta, internal beta and public beta.

The meaning of the closed beta is that the game production has just been completed, and the game needs to be tested technically, and the test at this stage is purely technical, and the story of the game, the plot, and the character design have nothing to do with it, and the whole game is basically in the embryonic stage, so no one else can contact the game except for the relevant technical personnel.

The closed beta is the longest of the three phases of testing, as little as a few weeks, as many as several months, this stage of testing is very important, and it is also the most comprehensive test of the game, all the technical issues about the game, as well as the game's story, character, style, characters, costumes, language, action, the rationality of the main and side quests, and many other aspects of testing and evaluation, and even the final modification. Even if it is a closed beta, there are very few people who can participate, most of them are game production personnel, operators and merchants who produce and operate games, and some ordinary players.

When it comes to the open beta stage, a considerable number of players will participate, and by this time, the game has been basically finalized. That is, the tests that are in the final stages of the official launch. In fact, it is to listen to the opinions and feedback of players, so as to make statistics and preparations for correcting errors in the future, and the way to correct errors is generally in the form of patches.

But there are exceptions, for example, the upcoming European and American sci-fi masterpieces according to the official disclosure, even when it comes to the open beta, there are very, very few ordinary players who can participate, and the people and players who can participate in the open beta must be designated by the game ** provider. In contrast, domestically produced online games are more relaxed, which may be due to the eagerness of the company to let more people get in touch with the game and give the game a big advertisement.

Closed beta is generally only open to a small number of players, (with special exceptions).

The public side is open to all players, but there is no charge for game points!

After the official operation, the point card fee will be charged.

However, if it is a "free" online game.

There is not much difference between the open beta and the official operation.

The difference between the closed beta and the open beta is only in the range.

First of all, let's talk about the closed beta:

The internal test is relative to the public beta of the model,In fact, the internal test is a comprehensive test of the technical stage of the game manufacturer,Game ** business and related planners on the game's running performance,The cultural background of the game,And the problems of the game system,The steps are very detailed,Specific to the costumes,Actions,Language,For example,The language of the scholars in the game should be polite and polite,Absolutely not mixed with the language components of the rivers and lakes, etc.。

Let's talk about the open beta:

The public beta is to invite some users from all over the country to participate in the test, mainly focusing on possible problems with the client, testing the performance of the server and finding bugs in the program.

The number of candidates participating in the beta is wider than the closed beta, but there are exceptions, such as the upcoming sci-fi blockbuster, which is strictly selected by the game producers for both the closed beta and the open beta, unlike any other online game.

This is caused by the characteristics of stand-alone games, because the return of funds for online games relies on players to intervene in the game, and constantly invests in the cost of production, whether you participate in the internal beta or the open beta, you only understand the tip of the iceberg of the game, that is, it is useless for Zen to fully understand it, because the online game is through continuous upgrades, adding scenes and stories to finally improve the game.
