My game is depressing worldwide.

It wasn't until he finished speaking that Zhou Qian realized what was happening.

This thing was made by Chen Xuan!

He quickly turned around.

What met his eyes was Chen Xuan's smiling expression.

"Work hard, have fun, I grant you permission to overstep your bounds."

[Zhou Qian's defense penetration value detected +2]

As long as you give me the defense penetration value, everything is negotiable!

Zhou Qian, puzzled, nodded blankly and went back to playing.

The second area has two platforms on the left and right, which you have to jump over from the air.

As we all know, most games start with a tutorial level.

In other words, is the second area more hellish?

"Come on, let me taste the saltiness!"

Zhou Qian directly controlled the little man, jumping towards the land in the air and landing precisely between the two spikes.

it is good! !

That jump was perfect.

The thought had barely crossed my mind when I sensed something was wrong.

The first area features counterintuitive designs.

When players see this scene, their first reaction is to jump into the middle of the spikes to avoid damage, believing that this is the right way.

Is it possible that they deliberately designed a trap because they guessed what the players were thinking?

Finished!

He did not disappoint his expectations.

A spring appeared in the middle of the spikes.

ber~~

The little man was launched straight into the sky and flew to a place that resembled paradise.

The background is a person wearing a patriarchal crown.

There's absolutely no trace of Photoshop editing.

With a whoosh, lasers shot from his eyes, instantly killing the villain once again.

"Isn't this my picture?!?!" Zhou Qian turned around in shock. "Are you fucking crazy?!"

[Zhou Qian's defense penetration value detected +2]

"You call that sacrificing yourself for art!" Chen Xuan said with a straight face, spouting nonsense. "The ninth art is still art."

What the hell! Art has appeared!

[Zhou Qian's defense penetration value detected +1]

Zhou Qian nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, gritting his teeth as he said, "My photo must be removed in the final version."

"It's nothing."

Just as Chen Xuan was looking on expectantly, the defense penetration value finally reached 10 points.

The most exciting part: the card drawing!

In his past life, Chen Xuan had seen a scene where an otaku was murdered, and the detective immediately recognized it as a homicide.

Why?

Because the gacha banner that Otaku had been looking forward to for so long was going to open in two days, and he had already saved up more than 100 pulls and farmed all the materials and equipment, there was absolutely no way he would commit suicide at this time.

System, draw a card!

Chen Xuan murmured to himself.

[Congratulations, host! You have gained the ability—Super Memory!]

A faint orange glow emanated from near the skill name.

Do you understand the value of a single SSR pull?

Chen Xuan was overjoyed.

After acquiring the skill, I clearly felt that my mind was much clearer.

I can recall many details from games I played in my past lives, as long as I paid attention to them.

Including the game's storyline.

I glanced at the list of options.

Does that mean we can start writing the project proposal and game description?

Since the decision has been made to create a low-budget game, story-driven and depressing for players, in addition to "I Wanna,"...

There is indeed a suitable work.

To the Moon

This is a game with a simple plot structure, but a powerful impact.

Many people dislike its pixelated style, but after completing the game, they exclaimed that it's really good.

Some people were healed, while others were depressed.

Regret and a sense of injustice permeate the entire story.

Moreover, the cost is relatively low, making it ideal for the current predicament where there is little development cost.

The wailing and howling continued in the boys' dormitory, but in room 1338, only occasional curses and the rhythmic tapping of keyboards could be heard.

I don't know how much time passed.

Chen Xuan typed the last period, stretched, and loosened his wrists.

The script is finished; it just needs some final polishing.

Next comes the preparation for development.

The game "Go to the Moon" could be developed independently.

However, this would take longer, which Chen Xuan could not accept, so he needed to recruit more people.

Just then, a voice came from behind.

"Brother Xuan, I've created an area as you requested. Would you like to take a look?"

"it is good."

Chen Xuan sat in Zhou Qian's seat, trying out the game while asking, "Do you know any reliable and affordable outsourcing options?"

The script is ready and we're about to enter the development phase, so we need to prepare some things in advance.

Zhou Qian thought for a few seconds and replied, "Professor Cui's husband runs an art outsourcing company, but the prices seem to be quite high."

Professor Cui's original name is Cui Manzhou. She is 35 years old this year, a doctoral student who stayed at the university, and a married woman with short hair. Her first impression is that she is very capable.

Those who stay on as PhDs at universities are all remarkable, and Cui Manzhou is no exception.

She focuses on innovative interactive technologies in VR games, and also applies her expertise to public welfare.

She crowdfunded and spearheaded the development of a charity mobile game called "Push Open the Next Door," with all proceeds donated to a charity focused on mental health issues.

Incidentally, Chen Xuan had released two independent games during his freshman and sophomore years of college and had also had contact with Cui Manzhou.

However, at that time, although the original owner was not exactly a quiet person, he was not a social butterfly either, and he didn't have much contact with others.

Write this information down.

After trying out the level that was being created periodically, Chen Xuan nodded and said, "No problem, you can upload it now."

"Oh right, spring recruitment has already started, right? Game companies will be coming to the school on Mondays to see demonstrations of outstanding student projects and scout out promising talents. If you're lucky, you might even run into Professor Cui on Monday."

"Speaking of which, how are your preparations going?"

Zhou Qian's hands continued working, and he nodded confidently, saying, "With you helping me oversee things, I'm confident I can get an offer on Monday!"

"Then I wish you the best of luck in your job search."

"Thank you for your kind words."

...

...

A few hours later, at 2 a.m.

Another corner of Lincheng.

Shen Qingtu, dressed in pajamas and looking exhausted, walked out of the bathroom and sat down at her computer desk.

Looking at her somewhat haggard reflection on the screen, she gave a self-deprecating smile.

"Ha, looking like neither human nor ghost, I still have to give a speech to my juniors."

Earth has advanced technology, but due to historical reasons, its gaming industry started relatively late.

Lincheng University was the first school in China to offer a game design major, and she was among the first graduates.

During a presentation of outstanding student works that year, she pulled out the game "Jumper," stunning everyone and successfully landing a job at Tianshuo Network Technology, becoming a professional in the game industry.

As for the game "Jumpers", the decision to make it free and open source was unintentional; I just thought it would be suitable for younger students to practice with.

Surprisingly, there are quite a few enthusiasts online.

Over the years, it has become a hub for fan-made side-scrolling platformer games.

Shen Qingtu simply built a website where users could download fan-made works of "Jumper," and the website displayed the number of downloads, completion rate, and rating.

Because of the author's identity, he has some fame online.

But things weren't so smooth in the workplace.

Just a week ago, few people knew about it.

This so-called genius senior from Lincheng has lost her job.

This unemployed senior will return to Lincheng University three days later on Monday.

He gave a speech to his younger schoolmates.
