Reborn to Make Games: My Girlfriend is a Game Streamer

Jiang Yiting lightly tapped the table with her fingertips, quietly suppressing the excitement of the lottery draw.

"Alright, alright, the lucky draw is over for now. Let's move on to tonight's games."

As soon as she finished speaking, she clicked the mouse, and the game interface loaded:

A somewhat barren expanse of yellow earth, a figure stuck in a clay pot, holding a long-handled iron hammer.

The live chat immediately exploded with comments:

-This graphics look so rudimentary, is this game even playable?

Is the streamer playing 4399?

- How can a game made like this even be sold for money?

Jiang Yiting glanced at the comments and explained, "New viewers think the graphics are simplistic? That's right, compared to those resource-intensive AAA games, it is indeed very simplistic."

She awkwardly swung the hammer, hooking it onto a rock, causing the character to sway comically.

"But indie games are like a barrel; developers' limited energy will only be poured into the longest plank."

The game's strength lies in its gameplay built around its unique physics engine.

The game was relatively simple at the beginning. Jiang Yiting, with her decent hand-eye coordination, controlled the jar-man to climb up, albeit clumsily.

Although there are occasional setbacks, they are always able to recover quickly.

-This physics engine doesn't seem too strange, does it?

- It doesn't look that difficult. It's just about using a hammer to hook onto something and climb up, right?

-Isn't this game easy to play?

Room 1201 next door.

As Chen Bainian watched the "easy" and "not difficult" comments scrolling across the screen, a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

The real test has yet to begin.

This initial success is nothing more than an illusion before the storm.

Sure enough, the real challenge soon arrived.

Jiang Yiting arrived at the first real challenge in the game – a narrow passage between two rocky cliffs, where she needed to use a hammer to hook onto a hanging lamp on the cliff face and then climb up with precise force.

Once, twice, three times...

She tried controlling the character multiple times.

Jiang Yiting's fingertips turned slightly white from pressing the mouse so hard.

Jiang Yiting's fingertips turned slightly white from the force she exerted. Every time she was about to succeed, she always failed at the last moment because of a barely perceptible tremor.

-Is the streamer any good or not?

-I'm tired of watching it!

- Keep it up, Lou Ge! You're almost there!

After another near-successful attempt, she slumped back in her chair, letting out a short, sharp cry: "Ah—!"

This genuine breakdown, ironically, ignited the atmosphere in the live stream.

The barrage of comments exploded instantly, a mix of encouragement, teasing, and empathetic anxiety, reaching another peak in interaction after the giveaway.

-----------------

Meanwhile, the Douyu platform's hosting area operation backend.

Xiao Zhang, an operations staff member, pointed to the backend data and said to his supervisor Luo Yu, "Brother Luo, the average viewing time of users in the 'Twelfth Floor' live stream room has stabilized at over 35 minutes, far exceeding the average level of the division."

Moreover, her bullet screen interaction rate soared by 200% when the game reached its climax.

This is a typical characteristic of high-quality content going viral, not a bubble sustained by lotteries.

Supervisor Luo Yu pushed up his glasses: "These kinds of streamers who can retain users and even generate discussion through their content have huge potential."

Let's test the waters with a "top picks" feature in her section, then increase its priority level by one tier.

-----------------

Jiang Yiting leaned back in her chair, rubbing her aching wrists vigorously.

She raised her chin at the camera, that familiar, defiant smile returning: "Who said it was easy with just hands? Come on, buy the game, take a screenshot and send it to me, let's see who beats it first!"

The number of people stubbornly arguing in the comments immediately decreased by more than half, leaving only a few scattered individuals still "resisting stubbornly."

I wonder if the real people behind these comments have actually downloaded the game.

At this moment, the "big brother" who had been quiet all night also popped up and greeted the audience.

"Oh my, this is my 'big brother,' isn't he handsome?"

Jiang Yiting gently placed the little black cat on the table and rubbed its chin. The little guy purred contentedly.

"Who do you think 'Big Brother' is? It's this cat."

"I didn't choose the name; it's a long story, I'll tell you another time!"

She cleverly changed the subject, using the act of petting the cat to ease her tense nerves.

A moment later, Jiang Yiting put her older brother down on the ground, rolled up her sleeves, and, feigning seriousness, as if cheering herself on, softly shouted, "Brother Lou, rise up!"

The bold and spirited Sichuan accent sounds like a bugle call to arms.

Then, she gripped the mouse tightly again, her expression focused, continuing her masochistic journey that night.

After several stumbling attempts, she finally passed the first hurdle, the Stone Forest.

When the jar-man stood steadily on the large platform at the start of the second level.

Jiang Yiting slammed her hands on the table with a loud bang, followed by a trembling cheer: "I made it up! I finally made it up!"

The Sichuan accent that flowed out unintentionally revealed a hint of relief and a touch of pride.

Holy crap! A cause for universal celebration!

I'm so touched, it really wasn't easy!

Everyone stand up! Let's send some gifts to Brother Lou!

A flood of comments and virtual gifts poured in, celebrating this hard-won success after overcoming setbacks.

"Thank you everyone, thank you for the gifts."

-----------------

Meanwhile, next door, 1201.

Chen Bainian's gaze fell on the screen, and his fingertips unconsciously tapped the table twice.

The surge in comments and gifts in the live stream, fueled by repeated setbacks, demonstrates how this "show effect" contributes to the game's spread.

This is exactly the kind of attention he, as a developer, is happy to see.

However, when he saw Jiang Yiting unconsciously furrow her brows, he paused for a moment while tapping.

The physics engine, which he personally tuned, has deliberately designed delays and feedback amplification features that can indeed easily create a strong sense of frustration.

-----------------

"Thank you 'Longevity Games Studio' for the big rocket! Thank you Producer Chen for the gift!"

Jiang Yiting's voice returned to its usual bright and cheerful tone, but her slight panting still revealed the intensity of what had just happened.

"Let's take a break and start the second round of live giveaways tonight."

Jiang Yiting skillfully introduced the "benefits" of the live stream's lucky draw.

At the same time, she switched out of the game screen and glanced at the backend data: the number of followers had exceeded 20,000, and the number of real-time online users remained stable at over 1,000.

Jiang Yiting couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

She has been trying to do live streaming part-time for over a month, but this is the first time she has ever had such a high level of popularity as tonight.

Keep in mind, she's in the niche console gaming section.

According to what she learned from the game streamer groups she joined, this number of online viewers is comparable to that of top streamers, even in the most popular online game sections.

She couldn't help but think of the mastermind behind tonight's event.

Chen Bainian, the unlucky cat owner of "Big Brother," the game producer of "Longevity Game Studio," and the man whose ambition is "longevity" and whose name is a homophone for "hundred years."

It seems that there is a layer of mystery behind him, making people want to explore.
