My game is depressing worldwide.

A little bird nestled against someone?

What solution?

Zhou Qian looked bewildered: "I don't understand. Can you explain in more detail?"

Why are kids asking so many questions?

Ignoring him, Chen Xuan printed out an A4 sheet of paper and stuck it on the office door.

Asylum Studio!

Madhouse (English).

Take a wild, unconventional, and rebellious image.

Since there's no animation company on Earth that makes Sakura, Death Note, and One-Punch Man, Chen Xuan decided to borrow that English name.

Yu Xiaoming, standing to the side, was wiping the glass with a rag, looking very serious, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

He really wanted to join, but unfortunately, he hadn't finished dealing with things at home.

Before long, the office was completely transformed, and Shen Qingtu arrived, bringing together all the members of the Asylum Studio.

We first held a brainstorming meeting to initiate the project.

As the producer, Chen Xuan couldn't possibly oversee every detail, so he had to provide thorough explanations to help Zhou Qian and Shen Qingtu grasp the game's main selling points.

After the meeting.

"Senior, do you know anyone in charge or the operations team of the Pixiv gaming section?"

Shen Qingtu nodded: "It just so happens that a project I was involved in before has a collaboration with the gaming sector."

After saying that, she fiddled with her phone for a while.

Not long after, a WeChat contact card was sent to me.

"This is an operations manager in the gaming section. We've already agreed that you can add him directly."

"Okay, thank you."

After a moment's hesitation, Shen Qingtu said, "Should I go and discuss it? Although 'Iwanna' is a huge hit, using that as leverage alone might not be enough."

Chen Xuan shook his head: "I'll have to deal with them sooner or later, so I might as well get to know them beforehand."

Chen Xuan sat back down in his seat.

Before starting my work, I first brought up the system panel.

It's been four days since iwanna became a viral sensation online, and the hype hasn't died down at all.

As a result, the defense penetration value accumulated to an exaggerated level.

[Defense Penetration Value Balance: 3832]

[Host's accumulated defense penetration value has reached a new stage, unlocking a new system function!]

[Music Resource Pack: Provides music-related game resources based on the host's works]

Music resource packs, as the name suggests, can only contain music-related items.

Compared to regular lotteries, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Regular draws are cheaper, have a very high potential, offer orange and purple quality skills, and all sorts of strange and wonderful items, but the potential is also ridiculously low.

The music resource packs are different; they offer more precise items, but they are also more expensive.

"It saves us from having to find a music outsourcing company again, which is a timely help."

[Consume 3500 defense penetration points to obtain a music resource pack?]

Yes!

The treasure chest with the musical note icon opened after a shake, revealing a densely packed list of music resources.

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the theme song "For River" from the movie "To the Moon".]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the theme song "Born a Stranger" from the movie "To the Moon".]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained an interlude from "To the Moon"...]

The series of prompts made my head spin.

However, at the end of the list, Chen Xuan noticed something different.

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the opening theme song "Megumel" from Clannad.]

[The file size of "To the Moon" has not reached the maximum limit for the music resource pack. Music resources for other projects will be automatically generated for the host.]

Goodness, they really are honest and trustworthy.

I opened the hard drive and took a look.

Some music files have already been saved, including "For River" and "Born a Stranger," two songs that run throughout and connect the soul.

However, since "Megumel" is an opening theme sung by human voices, it only has lyrics and music, and it still needs to find someone else to sing it.

As for the remaining 300 points of armor penetration, I don't plan to keep them either.

smoke!

After wave after wave of blue skies and white clouds.

[Recruitment Card (Blue): Temporarily acquire suitable employees to complete a task] x1

[Eloquent Tongue Experience Card: Enhances your persuasive skills for a limited time] x1

[Basic Directing Techniques (Blue)]

Wait, directing techniques?

Chen Xuan was speechless as he looked at the blue skill that popped up at the end.

While regular gacha pulls are cheaper, they are unpredictable, with huge differences between the best and worst results.

Why would someone who makes games learn this stuff?

However, I still chose to use it; having more skills is never a bad thing.

Now that the preparations are done, it's time to get down to business.

I added the person in charge of the game area as a friend, and they accepted my request shortly afterward.

Remember to activate buffs before engaging in team fights.

Chen Xuan immediately used the [Eloquent Tongue Experience Card] he had just received, along with the [Lucky Charm] he had obtained a few days ago.

Then I sent a self-introduction.

...

Donghai City.

Pili Pili Headquarters.

Having just finished a meeting, Fang Juexia sat in his office, rubbing his hair with some annoyance.

"There haven't been any major game releases lately, what can I do? Can I still make games?"

The gaming section has always held a mediocre position on Pixiv, neither particularly high nor low.

Moreover, this section has one characteristic—it's extremely demanding on games.

If a major game is released, one trending topic after another appears in the gaming section, and sometimes half of the videos on the trending homepage come from the gaming section.

But if no major titles are released, then it's a disaster.

For example, recently.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the entire gaming area was stagnant.

How easy is it to revitalize a region through events?

Just as I was fretting, my phone chimed with a friend request.

Thinking about the message Shen Qingtu just sent, I guess this is the producer who joined her new team.

They said they had business to discuss.

But based on Fang Juexia's many years of experience in the industry, most of these people are just asking for favors.

So when you click "agree," you've already thought of how you'll refuse.

[Hello, I'm Chen Xuan, the creator of iwanna. I'd like to collaborate with your platform on an event. Would you have time to discuss it further?]

Oh, Iwanna, I'll just use the excuse I've prepared to refuse...

and many more.

iwanna?

Fang Juexia sat up abruptly, his face filled with surprise.

Although I don't quite understand why, videos related to Iwanna are indeed popular.

It's the only game in the gaming section that's recently trending.

[Hello, iwanna is indeed very popular in our site's gaming section. No offense intended, but is it really necessary to have joint operations for fan-made games?]

iwanna's sudden popularity stemmed from Lao Wei in the gaming section, who was very familiar with Fang Juexia.

He was very happy that the game was a hit.

But I really can't think of any joint operation activities that could be involved in this kind of game.

Just then, a document was sent to me.

Fang Juexia opened the document and began to read it carefully.

At first, I could read quickly, but the further I read, the slower I became.

In the end, you might even need to pause and read it word by word.

"It seems to actually work?" Fang Juexia muttered to himself.

Although this is the first time I've heard of the creator of iwanna, it seems...

He has a very good understanding of Pixiv's operating model, no less than I am as a practitioner in the industry, and he did indeed propose an activity that can solve the current pain points of the gaming section.

[We can discuss this in detail; I believe this plan is highly feasible.]

Shortly after the message was sent, a reply came back immediately.

[There's one more thing I need to ask you. Do you have any recommendations for content creators who sing well and speak foreign languages?]
