Chapter 1: The Dark Side (New Book, Please Read)

"This year's Game of the Year winner is..."

"Space Robot!"

"what!!!"

Zhou Kuang woke up from a nightmare, only to find that he was in front of an office.

"Mr. Zhou, what's wrong?"

A secretary in a black business suit and silk stockings hurriedly opened the door when she heard Zhou Kuang's call, her face filled with anxiety as if something had happened.

Zhou Kuang was confused, but he still remembered the other party's identity from his memory. He waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. Xiao Su, you can go out first."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

The secretary, whom he called Xiao Su, nodded and walked out with documents under his arm, closing the door gently.

Only then did Zhou Kuang have time to recall what had happened.

He remembered waking up bright and early, skipping breakfast, and watching the gaming industry's most prestigious annual awards ceremony in front of his computer. He was eagerly anticipating a breakthrough domestic game, but after nearly four hours of waiting, not only did the Game of the Year award go to his chosen title, but it went to a game with no sales, no creativity, all pre-existing mechanics, and a price point that was far from affordable.

The only reason for his victory is that he has a big capital behind him that is closely related to the organizer.

The moment Zhou Kuang heard the host read out his name, accompanied by the extremely Tang Dynasty electronic music repeating "Space robot, I am a space robot", his chest blood surged, his eyes turned black and he fainted.

When he woke up, he found himself in this office.

He closed his eyes and recalled again. It turned out that Zhou Kuang had traveled to a parallel world. Although it was still called Blue Star and the location was still China, the world had changed.

He is still called Zhou Kuang now, but his identity is different. Before he traveled through time, he was just an ordinary copywriter and planner, and occasionally did numerical planning work in the company. One person was split into two halves to save costs.

But now Zhou Kuang is the founder, CEO and chief producer of a game company. In short, he has the final say on all matters in the company.

The company has about 40 employees, which is not small. They currently only have one decent mobile game running, which generates decent revenue, but is already at the end of its life cycle.

All the mobile games they developed after this game failed miserably as soon as they were launched, so they urgently needed to create a new successful product to maintain the company's operations. Otherwise, if the revenue of this game continued to decline, the company's accounts would be in crisis.

"Ding! Your cheat has arrived!"

Before Zhou Kuang could react, the system automatically opened a pop-up window in his mind.

"Mission released!"

“Mission Objective 1: Before the revenue of “Hot Blood Battlefield” drops to the break-even point, create a stand-alone game demo based on Unreal Engine 4 and achieve a passing score of 60 points.”

"Mission Objective 2: Before the revenue of "Hot Blood Battlefield" drops to the break-even point, release a trailer for the game targeted in Mission 1, and achieve 100 million views for the single trailer on Bilibili."

"Hot Blood Battlefield" is their mobile game with decent revenue. It is a very "traditional" pay-to-win mobile game, which is mainly supported by the big bosses of several servers. From time to time, they have to create small accounts to provoke the bosses and be slaughtered like pigs by the bosses.

However, this method gradually became ineffective. At this time, the monthly profit minus the cost was not much. In two months at most, they might not be able to make ends meet.

Therefore, the system required him to create a stand-alone game DEMO using the Unreal Engine 4 within two months and then upload it to Bilibili.

Zhou Kuang turned this matter over in his mind, stood up and slammed the table!
This can be done! So he immediately called back the secretary who had just left. Zhou Kuang remembered that her name was Su Jing, who had graduated from university just over two years ago.

He hired her as his secretary not only because she was pretty, but mainly because she was efficient and could help him with many chores that he didn't have time to do or didn't want to do.

Su Jing looked at Zhou Kuang who was sitting behind the desk opposite her and looking at her with a smile. Although he still looked handsome and handsome, and was loved by everyone, there was an indescribable sense of incongruity.

Thinking of the strange noises the other party had made before, I felt even more strange.

However, she shook her head inwardly, thinking that she must have overthought, so she asked, "Mr. Zhou, what can I do for you?"

Su Jing, with her long, lustrous black hair tied back into a ponytail, exuded a sophisticated air. Her features were delicate, and the black-framed glasses accentuated her intellectual aura. She wore a tight, black silk OL outfit, which accentuated her figure. The velvet drapes on her legs accentuated her slender legs.

"Mr. Zhou?"

The other party's clear voice with a hint of doubt interrupted Zhou Kuang's thoughts. He reacted and said, "Notify all department heads to hold a meeting at 2 pm."

"okay, got it."

"Okay, you go make arrangements first."

After Su Jing left, Zhou Kuang began to think about what kind of game he should make.

The system requires him to make a stand-alone game based on Unreal Engine 4. If you simplify it, there are actually only two requirements.

One is to use the Unreal 4 game engine, which is the most advanced 3D game engine on the market with a very high level of industrialization, so this goal is not difficult to achieve.

The second is a stand-alone game, which means it cannot be an online game. For example, the "Hot Blood Battlefield" they made is actually an online game that can be played on a mobile phone, and its core is no different from the online game on the computer.

Although it is not impossible to make stand-alone games on mobile phones, in a broad sense, stand-alone games still refer more to stand-alone games on computers or consoles.

Zhou Kuang's company has a total of 4 employees. Even if they are not used to using Unreal Engine , it is still easy to make a stand-alone game DEMO.

But he also has to consider the company's financial situation. If he only meets the system requirements but cannot make money, the company will go bankrupt and everything will be over.

Just as he was thinking about which game from his previous life would be suitable for a team of their size, he suddenly realized.

Although mission objective 1 is easy to meet, there is still the second half of the sentence. The DEMO of this game must reach the passing score of 60 points.

The system did not explain how the 60 points were assessed. He tried to ask but received no response. He could only see the information panels for the two tasks released by the system.

If the size of the game is also taken into account in the rating range, there will be risks in making small games, independent games or even 2A games.

In addition, the requirement of mission objective 2 is to reach 100 million views on Bilibili, and it is a single game promotional video. Making a small game may not trigger public opinion at all. Does Zhou Kuang have to hire water armies to increase the number of views?

It is not impossible.

But after thinking it over again and again, Zhou Kuang gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and decided to do something big.

Just do 3A!

 I'm not pretending anymore, TGA I'm Feng Fu
