Chapter 12: How can someone who makes games have time to write novels?
I just want to strangle this bastard producer!
His hammer had already landed on the orange, but...
As a result, he veered off course and slid off the top, landing right at the starting line.
The entire dormitory fell silent.
Xiao Bing and her other roommates stared blankly at Hu Lianlian behind them.
Finally, Xiao Bing spoke up, asking, "Lianlian, are you alright?"
"I'm—fine!"
That one minute of stubbornness turned into a full half hour of torture for Hu Lianlian!
During this period, it includes, but is not limited to, being forced to take desperate measures, being at one's wits' end, doing one's best, and doing whatever one pleases.
Especially the tenth time I went up Orange Mountain.
With a shaky hand, I found myself back in the starting village once again.
Hu Lianlian felt that she seemed to have a bit of liver fire.
I finally got past the Orange Mountain level, but this was just the beginning of how torturous this game was.
Hu Lianlian's current state.
And from looking down on the game and showing all sorts of contempt, to being so tormented by the game that they are completely speechless.
However, Hu Lianlian seemed to see it.
The author of that trashy novel and the producer of this game.
He crossed his legs and looked smug in front of himself.
Extremely joyful.
It was as if I could see that there were many more players and viewers in my comment section.
They're laughing at themselves.
Indeed, it's quite amusing for anyone to build their happiness on the suffering of others!
It's just that it lacks morality.
But, is morality important?
Meanwhile, in the Insomnia Game Studio.
Shen Huaizhou, however, had a grin on his face as he looked at the streamers on various live streaming platforms.
He was scratching his head in frustration, trying to outwit and outmaneuver Mr. Bennett.
Especially that sledgehammer or pickaxe!
One careless move and you could waste half an hour, or even an hour, of your time!
At least, before this game came out.
Most of the games on the Donghuang Marketplace are just reskinned games designed to trick players into spending money.
At most, it's just a reskinned version of some IP name.
Dare to torture the players?
Are you kidding me? These projects will be rejected as soon as they are submitted.
Shen Huaizhou knew about this back in his previous life.
Game developers at those big companies don't really have much authority.
When a game doesn't allow you to create any demos, and you've just written a plan, the operations team thinks it's useless.
That means you'll be rejected outright; you won't even have a chance to complete it.
Therefore, in the previous life, many independent game studios gradually emerged.
Although many of these studios have failed to deliver on their promises, they have also managed to scam investors.
However, once it's actually made, the quality is generally not too bad.
Tsk!
This game is interesting!!
In the short period of time since its release, just one hour, his novel has gained a considerable number of new fans!
It's amazing that a new author and a new book can reach over 500 collections!
This is truly unique on this reading website.
Game Title: The Binding of Isaac
[Game Type: Roguelike Dungeon]
[Required Popularity Points: 500/200]
Sure enough, the popularity score has reached 500!
"The union of Isaac?"
Shen Huaizhou muttered to himself, leaning back on the sofa, and casually glanced at the game provided by the system.
There are quite a few games with 500 popularity points, but their quality is just so-so.
Previously, when I was writing the second game.
Originally, I planned to include the green bird in the design, but then I thought that one would be enough for a side-scrolling platformer.
It's not good if it's too torturous.
After all, if two similar games were released at the same time, it would be criticized as padding in a novel.
Once the readers lose interest...
I'll just give up. If I don't keep reading, my novel will be ruined.
Works that are all the same will always cause readers to experience aesthetic fatigue.
The same applies to games.
If all the games released by Insomnia Games are of the same type, then there's no point in continuing to operate this studio.
I might as well go home and become a security guard.
Of course, this idea had to be put out quickly, otherwise Su Jianxue and Da Chen would find out.
I'm going to talk about myself again.
Sigh, making games is hard. Who likes making games?
It's more interesting to write novels; what if one book makes you a legend?
Shen Huaizhou looked at the signing information that popped up in the back office!
Without hesitation, he decisively selected the option to sign the contract.
……
In the girls' dormitory.
Hu Lianlian was barely breathing, and Xiao Bing and her two roommates stared blankly at the listless Hu Lianlian.
His eyes were filled with distrust.
"Lianlian, are you kidding me?"
"You mean, an author wrote about this game in their novel a few days ago?"
"And it even successfully reflected the reactions of us players?"
As a staunch inheritor of materialist thought, Xiaoice's eyes were filled with doubt.
Hu Lianlian's eyes fell on Xiao Bing's long, snow-white legs.
Her shapely buttocks were encased in tight denim shorts.
Despite her stunning beauty, she couldn't attract even a shred of interest from Hu Lianlian.
"yes……"
"Exactly the same, even the level designs in the novel, and the reactions of the streamers and viewers... they're all the same..."
Hu Lianlian opened the novel app and handed the book "I'm Just Giving Up, I Just Want to Drive Players Crazy" to her sisters.
This game was released after the very first chapter featuring the protagonist, Xiao Chunan.
The content of the first five chapters was only released five days ago.
Click on it now; this book has already been signed.
The protagonist has already started preparing for his second game, which is being promoted in the book.
But, what a coincidence!
The game was actually released just five days after the novel was published!
The prices are exactly the same, ten yuan. You won't lose out or be cheated.
How could this dog of a developer possibly know in advance what games would be released in the future?
This is outrageous!
Hu Lianlian and Ge You lay on the floor, leaning back in their chairs, playing games all night for a full six hours.
She had no idea where the final level of the game was.
Countless defeats made her deeply understand the true meaning of this game!
It tortures players and drives them crazy.
Ah—it was I, Hu Lianlian, who was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. I apologize for disturbing you.
"No way..."
Xiao Bing held her phone, looking puzzled.
However, when she opened the novel and took a look, she found that the first chapter had indeed been published five days ago.
Moreover, the first chapter clearly states that "Getting Over It" became a hit because of its unique gameplay.
"So accurate..."
"I even suspect that the game's creator wrote this book himself."
"Absolutely impossible!"
Xiao Bing's words were immediately refuted by Hu Lianlian!
"Making games is so hard, even for indie games, the producers still have to write code."
"How could I possibly have time to write a novel?"
