Chapter 13: Don't let me catch you! Otherwise, I'll sink you every time I see you!
"Oh, right!"
Xiao Bing nodded; although she wasn't a game design student, she still knew.
How can a code slave have time to write novels?
Even if we don't talk about 996, we're basically spending all day in front of the computer. Where would we find the time to write?
But this novel is actually quite interesting.
Ignoring logic, pure plagiarism-based wish-fulfillment novels are simply wish-fulfillment novels that don't include games currently on the market.
Write your own original works?
Funny?
Aren't you afraid your novel will flop?
"Right? How could a professional not think about making games and instead write novels?"
Hu Lianlian nodded thoughtfully, her analysis sound and logical.
Producers have to code every day, how can they have time to write novels?
Even someone like her, who majored in game design, doesn't have time to write.
Otherwise, wouldn't reading Platinum be a breeze?
But... this book.
Your grades seem pretty good, huh?
It's already signed a contract and it's still on the new book chart?
"Don't bother looking, it's been photoshopped."
"Trash novel, just trashy writing."
Hu Lianlian said with a disdainful look.
……
I went downstairs and bought a basket of steamed buns, and had a simple breakfast.
Back in his office, before anyone else had arrived, Shen Huaizhou started typing!
The following content is almost entirely about the male protagonist, Xiao Chunan, creating his second game.
The second game is called The Binding of Isaac.
The reason Shen Huaizhou decided to have the protagonist play The Binding of Isaac as the second game is...
That's because this game belongs to the dungeon crawler genre.
It stands out from the crowd.
What's most amazing about The Binding of Isaac is its item system.
In most roguelike games, the random elements are placed on map generation and item stats.
This results in a situation where there is often little connection between props.
For example, there was a mini-program called "Rumble Pigeon" that Shen Huaizhou had seen on Douyin before, where the weapons and props had almost no combination.
They're just relying on numbers to win.
Such games either need to add novelty through map updates or through character introductions.
Gradually, the repetitive gameplay experience turned into a formulaic pattern of searching for different powerful items.
But The Isaac is different.
This game maximizes the synergy between items.
This is like the former doing addition, while the latter doing multiplication, greatly increasing the novelty of each round.
The underlying logic is also why Shen Huaizhou included it as the second game.
The most important thing when writing about a game is to be familiar with that game.
At the very least, you have to have played it; otherwise, what's the point of just copying games recommended by readers in the comments section?
After updating 4,000 words, I also saved 4,000 words.
Look at the number of readers who have already read over two hundred!
Shen Huaizhou's confidence immediately increased.
"At this rate! This book should easily be a top-tier seller, right?"
One hundred reads is the entry-level qualification, five hundred reads are needed to get full attendance, and one thousand reads is already considered a superior person.
As for the legendary realm of exquisite craftsmanship, if we, mere LV1 novices, were to witness it...
Then one must address him as a big shot.
"Oh ho ho!"
"I too have the potential to reach the realm of the finest!"
However, in the novel's comment section...
But then a player actually appeared, which startled Shen Huaizhou.
Is my identity as a top producer about to be exposed?
[I played this game. Author, are you the creator of this game? I'd like to send my warmest greetings to your mother.]
I always felt that the author of this novel was also the producer.
"How is that possible? How could a producer write a novel?"
Don't let anyone catch you! Otherwise, you'll be stabbed every time they see you!
This game is so much fun! The creator is a genius!
Bad review! This is a smear campaign by paid trolls; I'm deleting it!
Shen Huaizhou stared speechlessly at the comments, realizing that this generation of players was far from calm.
I've brought you a fun game, and you still want to insult my mother?
They're even planning to drown me?
Why are there so many bad people in this world?!
Of course, I won't delete the ones praising the game, since it is indeed fun, as long as I don't play it myself.
He was self-aware enough to know that with his clumsy hands, he wouldn't be able to handle the later space challenges.
Even Orange Hill, I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to see it in this lifetime.
Shen Huaizhou subconsciously opened the backend.
Well!
[My attempt to give up is just to drive the players crazy]
[Collection count: 530]
[Follow-up Read: 201]
[Number of comments: 180]
Not bad, the reading is very steady! It seems I'm destined for a place on the Sanjiang List.
I had just opened it when I saw another comment in the background.
[Mo Lanlan: Author! Author! I'm your fan! Why haven't you created a group yet?]
"???"
Creating a group? Are you kidding me? I don't have time to create a group.
It really is—
……
As the sun rose, Su Jianxue had already arrived at the company long before the sun was rising!
Shen Huaizhou arrived before the door was even opened.
Inside the conference room, a pair of long, snow-white legs were encased in black stockings, and her dazed eyes had been staring at the screen in front of her for a full half hour.
I'm so sleepy...
"Lao Xue! Our game is a hit!"
As soon as Chen Qingshan opened the door, he saw Su Jianxue staring blankly at the computer!
The image on the screen was stuck right here at Orange Hill.
The girl's hair was all messy. If I hadn't left work with her yesterday, I would have thought that something had happened between Su Jianxue and Shen Huaizhou.
"Game...what game..."
Su Jianxue was completely bewildered, as the boss of the Insomnia Game who controlled the finances.
It's been a long time since I've heard of any legitimate income being deposited into accounts.
"Wait a minute? You mean, our game became a hit?"
"Is this...is this really real?"
"what?"
Big Brother Chen looked completely bewildered at the chaotic Su Jianxue, unsure of what to say.
"How many copies were sold?"
"One hundred? Two hundred, or..."
Thanks to having participated in the closed beta test of this game, Su Jianxue was quite worried about how fun it would be.
A game that costs ten yuan a copy, a hundred copies would only cost a thousand yuan.
That's not even enough to pay one employee's salary.
Am we getting excited too soon?
With a long, drooping face, Su Jianxue cautiously threw the question to Chen Qingshan.
Chen Qingshan looked at the data he had just received and carefully counted the number of words on it.
"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand".
"Twenty-four thousand three hundred and fifty-two copies."
"Lao Xue, we sold 24,352 copies!"
"In less than 24 hours since its release, we've already sold over 20,000 copies!"
"What?!"
Su Jianxue immediately perked up, staring at that damned Bennett on the computer screen in front of her.
They rushed straight towards Shen Huaizhou's office.
"Wake up! Wake up! Boss Shen, get up and get to work!"
