SWDnovel Chapter 43: A Private Game for Two? Hehe!
Chapter 43: A Private Game for Two? Hehe!
Qi Qi's comment was immediately noticed by many sharp-eyed readers.
Hu Lianlian was the first to see this comment.
As one of the novel's earliest haters, she has long since been won over.
As for the author's identity.
She had made her own guesses, but none of them were as accurate as this reader's.
"This... the author is the finance manager for Insomnia Games?"
"This seems to be the closest thing to the truth, doesn't it?"
"Mr. Chen Qingshan, the head of human resources and management at Insomnia Games, is mainly responsible for the operation of the game company."
"And the mysterious designer, Mr. Shen, is a coder who doesn't have time to write books."
"Therefore, CFO Su Jianxue is indeed a key factor in the author's success!"
With excitement, Hu Lianlian opened Qi Qi's comment section:
[That's actually quite possible! With access to all project financial data, the game's development progress and the detailed business scenarios depicted would be so realistic!]
[It also matches up chronologically! Every major plot twist in the novel corresponds to a significant action in the real world of the insomnia game!]
If this isn't an insider, I'll eat my keyboard!
That's bullshit.
No wonder the novel portrays company decision-making and cash flow so professionally; I initially thought it was due to extensive research, but it turns out it's just insider information (doge).
[Stop guessing, what if this is part of an epic collaborative marketing campaign for the Insomnia Game?]
"Wow, that's quite a bold guess!"
Hu Lianlian scrolled through the rapidly growing comments and gasped.
……
on Monday.
The development discussion meeting for the new game was held as scheduled.
For games that are designed to prevent insomnia, older games need to be operated, but a sequel should absolutely not be released in a short period of time to make money.
That would not only damage their reputation, but also earn them the title of "dog capitalist."
Over this period of time, Insomnia Games has transformed from a small, unknown studio into one with three blockbuster games.
This has attracted the attention of major companies, and even competitors are starting to prepare to follow suit.
The term "pigeon dungeon" has officially appeared in this world.
At the same time, game developers are giving back to players, and players can get rewards for creating mods each month as long as they receive positive feedback from players.
Then you can get incentive funds.
This is a huge benefit for many gamers.
The atmosphere in the office had reached its peak.
The employees, who had been unable to contain themselves any longer, began whispering among themselves.
"Ahem, well, let's start by having the new designer introduce himself."
Shen Huaizhou sensed the warm atmosphere in the office and quickly handed over the speaking opportunity to the new designer.
Soon, the man wearing glasses stood up from his seat.
"Thank you, Mr. Shen. Hello everyone."
"My name is Hu Chen. I previously worked in the development department of Aurora Games. The game Clash of Clans is one of my works."
"However, I recently encountered a bottleneck, which is why I resigned from Aurora Games."
"I hope to work with everyone at the company in the future to create more interesting games."
Hu Chen?
Everyone here knows the game Clash of Clans.
The new game Tribes & Wars 2 has flopped, failing to beat The Binding of Isaac, and sales have plummeted.
However, it is said that this game was not made by the same person who created the first game.
That's why the game flopped.
"Alright, everyone, welcome Designer Hu to Aurora Games."
"At the same time, besides welcoming Designer Hu, there is another crucial issue at this meeting."
"The fourth game in our insomnia game series."
"What suggestions do you all have?"
"..."
At the beginning, Shen Huaizhou's question silenced all the designers present.
In the audience, Su Jianxue almost spat out her water.
"puff--"
Holy crap! It's poisonous!
The comments in this section are absolutely toxic! How did this guy guess that I'm the author of this novel?
I, Su Jianxue, where would I find the time to write novels?
And I don't know how either!
If I knew how, I would have had Shen Huaiting win over Xiao Chunan by the third chapter!
Hehehehe, everyone says that the protagonist reflects the author's psychology.
Xiao Chunan has absolutely nothing in common with me, okay?
Su Jianxue just wanted to yell at them.
But just as my hand touched the phone's keypad, it suddenly occurred to me!
This guy's prediction seems to be pretty accurate!
I, Su Jianxue, had previously suspected that the author was one of our insiders.
They even suspected Huai Zhou, but who exactly is this author?
Su Jianxue was completely baffled and turned her gaze toward Shen Huaizhou on the stage.
Could it really be a Huai boat?
No, that answer is absolutely wrong. As a game designer, you have to think about what games to make every day.
Write code and fix bugs.
With all those messy, crowded code pages occupied, she didn't even have time to find Shen Huaizhou for a meal.
How could I possibly write a novel?
Look at those writers, who doesn't spend a whole day writing two thousand words with just a cup of tea and a packet of salt?
Surely he doesn't have some kind of cheat code?
Ha! I, Su Jianxue, have lost my mind.
This novel is truly addictive; reading too much of it will ruin your brain. I'm uninstalling the reading app!
……
As Su Jianxue started moving with a whoosh, everyone's eyes turned to her.
However, I, Lao Su, am not so easily defeated.
Sure enough, Su Jianxue glared directly, and the Evil King's True Eye redirected everyone's gaze back onto Shen Huaizhou.
"Mr. Shen, I heard that you personally proposed these projects and that they have achieved such great success in the market."
"Do you have any ideas for your next game?"
Hu Chen left Aurora Games because he couldn't stand their games that forced players to spend money.
This almost caused me to lose even my original intention of making games.
"Well—my opinion depends on yours."
"What types of games do you want to make? Feel free to suggest them and let's give them a try."
Several designers were taking notes diligently, after all, President Shen's ideas were indeed helping this insomniac game studio, which was on the verge of bankruptcy.
It has truly developed.
These three new insomnia games are all wildly popular on the Steam platform.
Is there still a market for cooperative games these days?
Hu Chen, as expected of someone who comes from the PVP game industry, immediately mentioned their long-standing collaboration.
I don't know, cooperative games will always have a market, right?
However, when Hu Chen finished speaking...
A small hand suddenly rose up.
"Huaizhou, could we do some kind of private game, the kind you play with two people, you know?"
Eh?
Something is wrong!
Wait a minute! Mr. Su, what you're talking about is a private game for two people, hehe.
It's not the kind we're thinking of, is it?
