Game Development: Starting with Recreating the Anime Game Style

Chapter 469 Chu Chen, you old thief!

Chu Chen, you old scoundrel!

Su Xiaoli wasn't just saying it; she was genuinely angry.

The problem is with Chu Chen. You can just cut ties whenever you want, but why not do it somewhere better? You have to leave a hook before you even start cutting.

The game has now entered its third cycle.

The game's difficulty has clearly increased, and as the story progresses through the previous few loops, not only the game's difficulty but also the storyline gradually becomes more challenging.

Regardless of the player's choices, Adam's suspicions continue to grow.

This means that players often have to deal with unexpected situations, and the final scene of the game takes place in the central square of Seaside Town.

The sun was shining brightly, and Adam was chatting casually about the weather with the actor playing the postman.

Everything seemed so ordinary and peaceful.

Aside from the postman's poor acting skills, Su Xiaoli, as the "director," had to monitor Adam's awakening rate while also keeping an eye on the postman.

During previous patrol missions, this postman often made some basic mistakes during "rehearsals," so Su Xiaoli was very worried that this guy would cause trouble.

However, when filming officially started, this guy didn't cause any trouble, but a woman who shouldn't have been there walked straight across the square and headed towards Adam.

Su Xiaoli's pupils contracted instantly.

is her!

Hannah Smith!
The blonde woman who was personally stamped "rejected" by her during the first round of actor screening because she was wearing a cross!

Why is she here?

Immediately afterwards, the game interface was filled with piercing alarm sounds and flashing red lights.

[WARNING: Unregistered personnel have entered the filming area!]

[Warning: Anomalies detected on target "Adam"!]

Adam's awakening rate bar started to surge wildly, as if it had been injected with adrenaline, instantly breaking through the dangerous 60% threshold from a stable 5%!

On the screen, Hannah wore a compassionate yet complex smile. Standing before Adam, she ignored the postman actor beside her, who was now flustered and constantly trying to trip her up, and asked softly:
"Adam, have you ever thought about going out to see the world?"

The moment that line was uttered, the entire plot shifted dramatically, like an F1 car stepping on the gas. Adam on screen showed a genuine expression of "confusion" for the first time.

The music starts, the camera zooms out, panning from Adam to the entire town, then suddenly zooms out again, focusing on Adam.

He looked up into the distance, then at Hannah, and opened his mouth as if to ask something.

Just at this moment.

"Snapped."

The screen went black.

Then, several large words appeared on the black screen.

[To be continued]

The moment this scene appeared, the live chat exploded.

These comments, much like her own feelings, all express a lingering, unsatisfied, and agonizing sense of unease.

"Broken here? This is worse than death! How is Adam? Is there any hope for the ratings? Can I even go to work?!"

"To be honest, this game is really addictive."

"It felt like watching an 'interactive movie' of The Truman Show! It wasn't just about choosing an option and watching a clip; it was about truly participating in how the world worked! Every decision felt incredibly significant!"

"I'm panicking! I'm panicking! Chu Chen, can you sleep? I definitely can't sleep!"

"This game demo was only shown for less than an hour, but it contained more information than I've watched three seasons of a TV series!" "9 points? It has to be 9 points! The remaining point is deducted because you stopped here!"

It took Su Xiaoli a while to recover. She grabbed the water glass on the table and took a big gulp, then let out a long sigh, as if to expel the anger in her heart.

"Family members, I have an announcement to make." She spoke into the microphone, her tone serious. "From today onwards, I, Su Xiaoli, am Chu Chen's number one hater, without exception."

The screen was instantly flooded with a series of "hahaha" and "support" comments.

Actually, by this time, Su Xiaoli had already adjusted her emotions.

But for the sake of the live stream effect.

She still joined in the cursing, her voice booming.

While cursing, he also reopened the Starry Sky Games platform. Among the eleven demos, "Adam's World" had far more downloads than the second-place game.

The rating soared to an astonishing 9 points.

The missing point was almost entirely due to the "demo being too short".

"Let's see what the second place looks like."

To some extent, this type of competition demo is actually a great way to attract users, because after playing one demo, many people will habitually play the next one.

After all, there are no barriers to entry, and it's free.

To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy, it's like going to a pornographic website to read erotic novels; this one-hour demo, though exciting...

But for the streamer, this time is clearly not enough.

Su Xiaoli's gaze swept quickly across the special page of the Starry Sky Games platform. The cover images of more than a dozen demos were displayed side by side, like a row of courtesans waiting to be chosen.

Besides "Adam's World".

The popularity and ratings of other groups are also visibly soaring. One of them has a cover image with a strong pixel style, showing a figure wearing a cloak and holding a long sword standing in front of a broken, glowing rift.

On the other side of the rift was a mirror image of the world he inhabited—a gloomy ancient castle on one side, and a vibrant forest on the other.

Game Title: Echoes of a Parallel World

Production team: MT Studio.

"It's that French team!" Su Xiaoli immediately remembered, "The one that was incredibly awesome in the quiz!"

The viewers in the live stream were instantly reminded of their memories.

[Oh, it's them! That incredibly skilled team!]

I remember they managed to snag a 1080Ti graphics card.

The advantage of making competitions entertaining is that they create memorable moments.

If you ask me about MT Studio, probably not many people know it, since Dead Cells hadn't been released yet and many people had no recollection of the studio.

But if you say you were incredibly good at answering questions, then many people will immediately remember you.

"Then let's try this team game."

With that in mind, Su Xiaoli no longer hesitated and decisively clicked download. Since a 48-hour game isn't very large, the game was installed quickly.

Similarly, after clicking "Start," there's no extra intro; the screen immediately cuts to the game.

A burst of rapid and rhythmic percussion music rang out, and pixelated characters descended from the sky, landing heavily on a stone brick ground.

At this time, Dead Cells had not yet been released.

However, MT was originally designed to promote Dead Cells, and all of its games basically adopted gameplay similar to Dead Cells.
