Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's losses gave Pei Qian some peace of mind.
As for Boss Pei's Daily Life and Game Designer, there were signs that they were about to fail.
If something happened to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe again, Pei Qian's heart would not be able to take it.
Fortunately, Ma Yang never disappoints!
Pei Qian calmed down slightly.
Now, he was most worried about Game Designer.
The internet cafe continued to incur losses. Three hundred thousand a month seemed like a lot, but it could only be considered icing on the cake. It could not be the final nail in the coffin.
As for Boss Pei's Daily Life … Pei Qian's only hope was that it would not get sponsored partnerships.
"I have to continue paying attention to Game Designer. I cannot let anything go wrong!
"I have to learn from Ocean Stronghold's lesson.
"Previously, I did not play Ocean Stronghold in depth. I only saw the story mode and the 888-yuan Red Kilin. I thought I had it all figured out. In the end, that was not the case at all!
"This time, I have to run the entire game from start to finish!"
At that thought, Pei Qian felt a little depressed.
People always say that money is hard to earn and sh * t is hard to eat.
But why is it so difficult for me to lose some money?! '
…
March 25th …
Game Designer had officially been developed. It was now in the phase of tuning and fixing bugs.
Pei Qian specially asked the development team for the latest version of the game, installed it on his computer, and started from the beginning!
Although he knew all the choices and endings like the back of his hand, Pei Qian still wanted to experience it once.
The game's release date was set for April 1st.
Releasing it on April Fool's Day was that capricious!
If Pei Qian really found something that could cause the game to explode in popularity before April 1st … he would still have time to make some changes in less than a week.
As for publicity …
Pei Qian had basically given up on struggling.
Unlike the previous two times, Tengda was now a slightly famous game company.
Especially with the reputation of Ghost General and Ocean Stronghold, Tengda had accumulated a lot of popularity.
Until now, all of Tengda's games had been released on the official games platform. Once Game Designer was released, players from Ghost General and Ocean Stronghold would definitely run over to play it!
Under such circumstances, whether or not Game Designer was advertised, it would not have much of an impact on the game.
The key was still the game itself.
Pei Qian had created so much content to mock players; that was his greatest source of confidence!
Pei Qian started playing the game from the beginning.
Every node, every ending, every voice-over line, he carefully savored it.
"… Lu Mingliang's dubbing is actually not bad? How did you come up with such a cheap and annoying voice? "
"So boring."
"Running is so boring."
"Most importantly, this voice-over is still mocking me. Can I beat Lu Mingliang up now to vent my anger …"
"How much longer until we finish …"
"Hold on …"
Pei Qian felt a little absent-minded. Game Designer had a very strong dissuading effect on him.
Although Ruan Guangjian had personally designed the concept art and the entire game's art style was rather unique, it was completely boring to Pei Qian.
Why?
That was because Pei Qian had personally written all the choices and narration!
He walked into a room and was faced with N choices.
For the players, every door and every choice was completely unknown.
However, to Pei Qian, he knew exactly what was going to happen next.
There was a 100% spoiler halo; how could this game still be fun?
It was like watching a detective drama. He already knew who the murderer was and the outcome; the excitement of the process would naturally be greatly reduced.
Thus, Pei Qian pinched his nose and ran through the entire game once. After experiencing a few endings, he came to a conclusion.
It was extremely boring!
There was no special way to play the game. He just controlled his character to run around randomly from room to room.
Every time he ran to a new room, he could only look at the layout of the room and listen to the voice-over mocking him.
Apart from that, there was no other way to play the game!
"En, not bad. The game this time is very good.
"Indeed, it is more stable if I personally play the game!"
Pei Qian relaxed. From the looks of it now, there was no need to make any changes to the game. It would be dead once it was released. He just had to wait for the game to incur losses!
…
…
At the same time, everyone else in the company was busy as well.
Ma Yiqun, who had officially joined the company, received his first official job — to play Game Designer!
However, it was just to experience it.
Lu Mingliang asked Ma Yiqun to watch and learn more. However, he did not intend to let Ma Yiqun give any opinions or suggestions. He also did not want Ma Yiqun to participate in making changes to the game.
"This company … is indeed very special."
Ma Yiqun could not help but feel emotional.
Superior working conditions, harmonious working atmosphere, salaries that were much higher than those in the industry …
Ma Yiqun had heard his good brother Huang Sibo talk about all these before. Thus, he was not too surprised.
What surprised him was the way this company worked!
He still remembered the first day he joined Shang Yang Games.
He had just joined and had not even warmed his seat when Chief Planner Old Liu threw a huge pile of documents for him to do.
There was no guidance or handover.
The requirements were very vague, and the standards were very vague.
Apart from the deadline, everything else depended on Ma Yiqun's own performance.
All in all, since he was here, he had to work!
However, it was completely different for Tengda.
Here, no work was arranged for him. There were only six words: Watch well and learn well!
Want to quickly enter the working state?
Sorry, that was not possible.
"Indeed, is this the difference in the structure?
"Over at Shang Yang Games, there is no technical content at all. That's why even a newbie like me can get used to it quickly. Recruiting newbies is just like ordering them around like brick-moving workers.
"As for Tengda, they do design work that requires a very high standard. That's why newbies can only learn! What's more, this learning process has to last for a long time …
"Ah, I feel like I'm back in high school. I'm so nervous and stressed."
Ma Yiqun could not help but admire Tengda even more.
After running through Game Designer once, Ma Yiqun felt very special.
He had never seen such a game before!
It did not seem to belong to any common game genre in the market. If this was done at Shang Yang Games, the boss would definitely kill him.
There was no precedent, and the risk was too high. The boss would definitely not invest in this!
However, at Tengda, such things seemed very common.
The boss took the lead in innovating, and the employees worked very closely together!
Such rapport was probably not something that could be formed in a short period of time.
At Shang Yang Games, Ma Yiqun often heard conversations like 'Are there any successful examples?', 'Which game should we copy?', 'Do we have enough purchase points?', and so on.
At Tengda, however, he had never heard of such things.
It seemed like everyone was working towards the same goal with great rapport.
All in all, it was very impressive even though he did not understand it.
Ma Yiqun felt that there was still too much for him to learn.
"No wonder they have to give me work. I'm too incompetent!
I have to work hard and understand. I have to try to catch up with Tengda and Boss Pei's thinking as soon as possible!
