My game is depressing worldwide.

"This," Yu Xiaoming pointed to a shortcut on the desktop.

"Iwanna?!" Zhou Qian's breath hitched. "But that's Chen Xuan's work. I was just getting paid to help out."

"Don't you know how capable Brother Xuan is? He doesn't care about this little thing at all; it's just a casual move. Don't you know how much you'll lose by missing this opportunity?!"

Zhou Qian gritted his teeth, struggled for a while, and then spoke.

"good!"

The demonstration activity is now halfway through.

At first, the audience was somewhat enthusiastic, and there would be some applause after the demonstration, but now everyone is indifferent.

The entire place was eerily quiet.

Zhou Qian reluctantly connected the computer screen to the monitor.

Taking a deep breath, I said into the microphone, "Now I'll begin my demo. The project is called 'I Wanna,' a fan-made game based on... 'Jumpers.'"

After saying that, Zhou Qian felt like he could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of his toes.

It's so embarrassing.

Shen Qingtu, the author of "The Jumper," is still sitting in the audience.

In this kind of situation, the demonstration is actually a way to prove one's professional level with one's work, in exchange for a satisfactory offer, or at the very least, a stepping stone to a bigger stage.

The demo works are basically all showcasing their strengths; the more outstanding their ability in a certain area, the more promising they are, so they are all original games.

But he presented a fan-made game... to put it bluntly, it was a map made with a game editor.

What's so special about this? Are you showing off how great other people's games are?

As expected, many people looked up as soon as these words were spoken; some were curious, some were bewildered, and some were puzzled.

However, the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released.

"Now, let's begin the demonstration." Zhou Qian reluctantly opened the game.

Over the weekend, Zhou Qian basically spent all his time updating "iwanna," and Chen Xuan didn't write all the time either, adding some more content.

Since it was a demonstration, Zhou Qian chose to load the archive containing the content created by Chen Xuan.

offstage.

Shen Qingtu felt drowsy and couldn't help but yawn.

Ugh, I should have known better than to stay up so late last night...

I'm currently unemployed and not in a hurry to find a job. I spend my free time playing video games.

Originally, I just planned to relax.

Unexpectedly, "I Wanna," a game with a high level of difficulty but very interesting level design, became the most time-killing game.

There's always something curious in my head.

What other design options are there?

What other ingeniously designed scams could there be?

How did this designer's brain even start?

Later on, she even developed a sense of camaraderie with him after being tortured by him—can you believe it?

I couldn't help but feel a little regretful, as the website where I uploaded my fanfiction of "Jumper" was not registered under my real name and didn't leave any contact information.

Otherwise, I'd really like to meet the designer and give him some advice.

The recent updates to "I Wanna Belong" have been of mediocre quality.

It's not as amazing as that level when I first encountered it.

While I was thinking, another new junior student on stage began his demonstration.

She had expected another incredibly boring presentation, but one sentence from him immediately caught her attention.

"...I Wanna... is a fan-made game based on Jumper."

Ok? !

Her pajamas vanished instantly, her eyes widened like saucers, and she stared incredulously at the stage.

Did I hear that right??

Shen Qingtu's mouth gaped open in disbelief when she saw Zhou Qian actually open "I Wanna."

It's like searching high and low without finding it.

The designer never expected that he would be a junior from Lincheng University.

"Hidden talents abound."

Shen Qingtu immediately sat up straight and looked at the stage with a serious expression.

I couldn't help but feel a little expectant; something that could be demonstrated in this setting must be of good quality, right?

Zhou Qian has already begun the demonstration.

"Okay, let's start the game now."

This level was designed by Chen Xuan, and he had no idea what was inside.

Preparing a draft in advance is completely useless.

So, let's just say what we see.

"First of all... wait, why does this game have built-in bullet comments?"

As soon as these words were spoken, even more people who were daydreaming started to see what was on the screen.

It's like watching videos on a video-sharing website like PiliPili.

A line of comments appeared on the right side of the screen and flew to the left.

"Don't you know about the game you made?" someone in the audience whispered in disbelief.

But some people joked, "Demonstrating the game from a streamer's perspective? That's an interesting approach."

"As expected of a demo, the head is way too big! The game even has built-in bullet comments, it's hilarious."

Zhou Qian looked bewildered, wondering what Xuan'er was up to.

But I still read it aloud.

"What would happen if the streamer tried pressing the button?"

Then try pressing it.

In the first area, the little people still start from the starting point.

At the end of the dead end below, there is a button that you can touch.

Zhou Qian guided the little figure forward and touched a button.

"And then? Nothing happened." Zhou Qian was a little puzzled, and was about to control the little figure to walk back, "Wait... what's wrong with me not being able to move?"

The next moment, even more comments appeared.

[？？？？？？？]

[Oh, this]

[lol]

[Non-still image]

[Zawarudo!!]

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, the immobilized little figure was bumped into by the game's built-in bullet comments.

pia!

It turned into a cloud of blood mist and hung in the air.

"ah?!"

"Damn, can comments kill people?"

"I'm impressed by this idea."

"Don't tell me it's interesting? It's more eye-catching than the previous ones."

Zhou Qian paused for two seconds, then quickly restarted, clearing his throat as he said, "This game is quite challenging; it can bring players unexpected challenges and fun..."

After being resurrected, the little man did not walk towards the dead end and touch the button.

Instead, it jumped onto the path above, intending to head to the very back and then to the next area.

However, there are traps on the road to survival.

Two sharp spikes blocked the way, making it impossible to pass.

To pass the level, you must solve the puzzle.

The only mechanism the little character can access right now is the bullet screen button at the bottom.

After being touched again, the spike mechanism above was activated.

But the little figure was unable to move again, and the barrage of comments continued to appear.

[You don't believe in superstitions, do you?]

[Hilarious, a second time!]

[Non-still image]

He was killed in the accident again.

"Pfft, hahaha, the comments are changing too!"

"It's just like watching a video on Pixiv."

"This show is a perfect 10/10."

The audience's interest was piqued.

Even some guests who had been playing on their phones the whole time looked up.

Being watched by so many people and dying twice made Zhou Qian feel a little embarrassed.

Being watched and criticized in the live chat.

Are you crazy?!

What kind of design is this?!

The third resurrection.

"There's a brief one-second window between pressing the button and the point where the button becomes immobile. Let's try going a little faster this time."

This time, the little figure managed to brush against the button and land in a relatively safe place.

Then more comments popped up.

[Hey bro, you're here?]

[lol]

[hat trick!]

"We dodged it! We dodged it!" Zhou Qian exclaimed happily.

But the joy didn't last long.

A comment appeared in the center of the video screen.

[Yes, your video is buffering.]

This made the young people present burst into laughter.

The next second, this comment actually fell down like a brick!

Not only that, it also traversed the terrain in the game, jumping up and down on the screen.

pia!

The villain dies again.

Shen Qingtu's facial muscles tensed up, her lips pursed tightly, and she was struggling to suppress her laughter.

It's as if I can see myself playing I Wanna and getting unlucky and losing my composure.

A few soft laughs rippled through the room.

"I've found a way to pass this level! I'm definitely not going to die this time!"

After all, they have so much experience of being abused.

Are you kidding me? Do you really think I'm one of those newbies who've never played I Wanna?

I've memorized the safe locations!

As long as I stay in that position in the air while my character is paused, I'm safe!

This time, Zhou Qian was extremely serious.

As he wished, after touching the button, it stopped in mid-air.

The barrage of comments arrived as expected.

[A quadruple celebration!]

[Taking Apprentices]

[I'm a garbage collector, what kind of garbage are you, streamer?]

[Wow, you've learned how to use mid-air traps? You've got some talent!]

"As you can see, these bullet comments are actually designed to increase interaction with players," Zhou Qian said, spouting nonsense with a straight face. "While the bullet comments may appear to vary in length, they don't move vertically in landscape mode, so this position is safe!"

It seems to be as he said.

A horizontal barrage of comments appeared, saying "[Yes, your video is lagging]", and the barrage jumped up and down in the air, but it couldn't hit the stationary little figure in the air.

"See? This is an absolutely safe spot. As long as you jump here, you won't die. It's a perfect location!"

just.

Zhou Qian had just finished speaking.

The barrage disappeared, the little figure resumed movement, and fell from the sky.

The next moment, countless sharp spikes suddenly appeared on the ground, right under the little man's feet!

pia!

The little man was stabbed to death again, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

Everyone present was stunned.

No one expected that Zhou Qian had just made such a big show of himself, and they hadn't even had a chance to praise him yet.

I ate a huge lump of food again.

In the auditorium, after a brief silence.

"Holy crap, hahaha!"

"Wow, that's a psychology master!"

"Dude, are you a natural-born streamer?"

"It's so entertaining!"

"That's the charm of games! No one can predict what will happen next, including the designers."

Laugh out loud.
