Chapter 27: Party Games? What kind of game is this?
Chapter 27: Party Games? What kind of game is this?
"Huh? Aurora Games?"
Shen Huaizhou was sitting in his office, just about to go out for lunch, when he saw Su Jianxue come in.
Well, Shen Huaizhou really hadn't thought of that.
Under the Black Dragon Entertainment umbrella in this world, there actually is an Aurora Game.
This prophet's reputation is about to be cemented.
Moreover, this matter seems to actually have something to do with me? And it seems to have a significant connection.
"So, Huaizhou, what do we do?"
Su Jianxue asked, pursing her lips.
"Let's gather some material, this is such good material..."
"What?"
"It's nothing. Come on, let's go eat at that new braised pork knuckle rice place downstairs for lunch today. It's on you."
He quickly tried to trick Su Jianxue into leaving; if she found out he was a novelist, she'd laugh herself to death.
Just kidding, you absolutely have to keep writing a novel a secret from your closest people.
Otherwise, very awkward things will happen.
For example, you could post your novel on the "We Are a Loving Family" social media platform and ask your family members to follow and like it.
Or you could go to the market to buy groceries and recommend your book to this person or that person.
Eek—
Thinking about this, Shen Huaizhou's embarrassment kicked in.
After learning that Aurora Games was about to visit, Shen Huaizhou felt it was necessary to describe this part of the story in detail.
In addition, there is the third game, which is the core of the conflict.
It's time for us to make our appearance.
However, since it was a copying game after all, Shen Huaizhou symbolically let Xiao Chunan learn how to make games.
It lasted until 11 p.m.
He then released the new chapter.
It wasn't until the next morning, when I opened the backend of the author assistant, that I saw quite a few comments.
Human: Fall Flat? This looks like a PVP game? Is it a MOBA?
[It's probably an FPS game.]
Do you guys really think this game will actually happen? Let's wait for the insomnia game announcement.
[No way, the author, as a decent person, wouldn't just copy from one studio like Insomnia Games.]
[Wait, is this author a mole? How does he know so much inside information about the gaming industry?]
[If you can't beat them, acquire them. That's the simple, straightforward way to wage business.]
I don't know why, but I have a feeling that I'll be seeing this game in just a few days...
[Does the Insomnia Game really have that many employees?]
I had heard from that big shot in the Golden Alliance that this studio only had about twenty employees.
With twenty employees, making two indie games is fine, but how could they possibly make a third game?
Even if it's outrageous, it's impossible to release a game every week, right?
"Hey, you didn't expect that, did you? It's our Insomnia Games again this time."
[Game Novel Master System]
[Host: Shen Huaizhou]
[Work: "I'm just giving up, but I want to drive the players crazy!"]
[Game titles featured in the novel: Getting Over It and The Binding of Isaac]
[Novel Popularity: 811 (Novel popularity is calculated based on collections, subscriptions, and monthly tickets, which can be redeemed for games and abilities within the novel.)]
[Eligible work for redemption: Human: Fall Flat]
These past few days, I've been learning about the game design ideas of my predecessors on Earth by leveraging their popularity.
I have basically mastered some of the qualities of a producer.
Now, the popularity points used have reached 800, enough to redeem for the next game.
Eight hundred popularity points—something I never expected when I started writing this book.
But now, people who came because of the donations from the Golden Alliance, people who have played both games, people who trade stocks, and people who tell fortunes have all come.
A group of fun-loving readers are here, and the number of readers has exceeded two hundred.
"OK, I've chosen you."
……
Half an hour later, inside the conference room.
Su Jianxue was incredibly excited! Because the people from Aurora Games had actually come looking for her!
It's exactly the same as described in the novel!
Moreover, just like the protagonist in the novel, he righteously and firmly rejected Aurora Games' offer of shares and investment.
Su Jianxue, now sitting in the conference room, was still feeling her heart pounding wildly.
Hahaha, I never expected that I, Su Jianxue, could be so bold as to refuse the financing request from a big company.
Hahahahaha.
"Lao Xue, what's making you so agitated?"
Chen Qingshan, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and nudged her arm.
"Cough cough, it's nothing!"
"Old Chen, how's your hiring going? I think we need to hire more people in several departments."
"Don't worry about that, Huaizhou has a solution for me."
"They say they'll insert a recruitment announcement into the update trailer for 'The Binding of Isaac'."
"Also, in addition to announcing our participation in the Steam Platform New Product Festival, today's meeting will also announce a new game."
"what?"
Upon seeing that everyone had arrived, Shen Huaizhou's lips curled up slightly.
"As you all know, both of our games have been invited by the Steam platform to participate in this year's New Game Festival."
"However, let's leave aside the glories of the past for now."
"I think the third game in the Insomnia Game series should be finalized by now."
Everyone has a game report from major gaming platforms over the past five years.
The scope covers FPS, MMO, and MOBA genres.
Single-player games are also available.
However, most of them are sequels to some old IPs from abroad, and they sell fairly well.
"Mr. Shen, what's the design direction for our new game?"
This person, named Ye Wenqiu, is the level designer for the insomnia game.
I'm currently in charge of the Isaac project.
They were particularly interested in the randomly appearing levels, and therefore had great admiration for Shen Huaizhou.
Anyone who came up with the idea of a roguelike dungeon-style random gameplay is a genius.
"What are your thoughts on the development of this upcoming game?"
Shen Huaizhou asked with a smile.
"Stop keeping us in suspense, Lao Shen. We all know you're ready, so just reveal your new game."
Chen Qingshan spoke up.
Shen Huaizhou nodded, and then connected the computer to the projector.
Soon, a PowerPoint presentation was displayed in front of everyone.
"Then, let's make a party game for our third game!"
As the name suggests, party games are primarily online games!
This kind of game is completely boring when played alone.
However, if there are more people, the nature of the game changes completely.
They interfere with each other and hold each other back.
This kind of game must be played by multiple people, otherwise it defeats the purpose of a party.
only……
The moment Shen Huaizhou uttered the words "PPT" and "party game".
The entire meeting room fell silent.
What is a party game? How come they've never heard of this type of game before?
Only Su Jianxue, sitting in the corner playing on her phone, had her small hands clenched tightly.
really!!!
That novel!
You guessed right again!!
