SEC Chapter 15: Learning to Make Games? Yes! We absolutely have to learn!
Chapter 15: Learning to Make Games? Yes! We absolutely have to learn!
Whether it's a past life or this life.
Rehashing old content is one of the things that all game developers love to do most.
For example, when PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) brought about the game "Chicken Dinner," many domestic manufacturers immediately created and remade it!
Chicken-themed games from companies like Goose, Steel, and some unknown manufacturers immediately appeared.
The results of it?
Of all the ones that have survived to this day, only the one under my son's command is still alive.
The world is the same.
Shen Huaizhou spent a week learning about this world, and unsurprisingly, large companies were adept at exploiting their employees.
It remains as unique as ever.
After all, nobody dares to gamble.
Otherwise, in my previous life, a large-scale game was tested for five years, even with the secret procedures of the Imperial Guard.
None of them have the same level of confidentiality as this big company.
Any information that reveals the news.
They've all disappeared.
Of course, none of that is the key point. I, Shen Huaizhou, am going to become a platinum-level author on the reading website.
I wrote the same game twice.
How can readers still read your crappy book?
The readers are like that unfaithful man, so loving, reading yours and then yours, reading yours and then yours.
They all like new and exciting things.
When I first encountered your novel, it was like a beautiful young girl, now just another one with similar content.
Wouldn't I become a haggard old woman?
Contrast, surprise, and emotions.
Most importantly, it can easily lead to aesthetic fatigue among readers, which is not good for the book itself.
However, these words reached the ears of Su Jianxue and Chen Qingshan.
That means something else entirely.
The two exchanged a glance, then turned their gaze to Shen Huaizhou.
He asked suspiciously, "Old Shen, you're not planning to go back to being a security guard again, are you?"
"Pooh!"
Shen Huaizhou immediately objected, saying, "We cannot go against our conscience."
"What security guards? I'm suing you two for defamation!"
"Then why don't we make a sequel?"
Chen Qingshan asked, puzzled.
Because, according to the thinking of Donghuang Game Factory in this world, if a game becomes a hit, of course they want to squeeze every last drop of value out of it.
Are you planning to make a new game?
Su Jianxue called out a name directly and asked.
Yes, that's right.
I've already written the content for the second game in the novel, and it's about to be released. You want me to continue making a sequel to "Getting Over It"?
Are you kidding me?
"You already have an idea?"
Chen Qingshan asked.
"Bingo! As expected of our smartest Ah Xue and Brother Chen!"
"Yes, it's a new project. You guys wait a bit, I need to write the underlying code in the next few days."
"I'll give you a new plan later."
A new project?
Is Old Shen possessed by a gaming genius? In just a few days, he not only created his first game.
They've even come up with a new game project?
You know, even big companies don't have this much incentive. Didn't this guy dream of becoming a security guard?
When did your personality suddenly change?
It cannot be repaired.
Su Jianxue stared at Shen Huaizhou with sparkling eyes and asked curiously, "Can you give us a hint? What kind of game are you planning to make this time?"
"Ugh—"
Faced with Su Jianxue's question, and the gazes of everyone else in the conference room.
Shen Huaizhou pondered for a moment before calmly responding.
"A roguelike dungeon crawler game."
Meat Pigeon Dungeon?
What the heck?
This is a game genre I've never heard of before. Is this one game or two games?
What is a meat pigeon, and what is a dungeon?
Su Jianxue turned to look at Chen Qingshan, only to see a clear look of stupidity in his eyes.
shook his head.
Don't look at me, sis, I don't know what kind of game this is either.
There are currently no games of these two types on the market.
Most of them are FPS games and MMO games.
Even the MOBA genre was only developed in recent years, and Black Dragon is already preparing to copy it.
"That's not important. You'll find out when my proposal is ready."
"Ah...oh..."
Su Jianxue and Chen Qingshan could only open their mouths and utter a couple of "ah ah" sounds.
The other people in the meeting room, even Ah, didn't know what to do.
Mr. Shen is truly astounding.
He truly deserves to be called a genius.
Shen Huaizhou shook his head helplessly. Sigh, as expected, the people in this world still have a rather outdated concept of games.
I don't even know what a dungeon crawler game is.
The Binding of Isaac, if this game were in my previous life, it would be considered the pinnacle of dungeon roguelike games.
never mind!
I'm too lazy to explain now; I'd rather wait for the content in the novel to come out.
"Alright, meeting adjourned!"
Shen Huaizhou waved his hand dismissively! Instead of continuing this rambling, you might as well go and write a few more pages!
Just now, I managed to sneak into the fourth group chat.
I had a few contemporaries who would kindly ask them to give my novel a little promotion.
[Insomnia Remedy: Hehe! Guantian Giant, Platinum Giant, how about a chapter recommendation?!]
[Guan Tian: Bah! Your novel, which's in the top three of the new book charts, wants our chapter recommendations? You have no shame!]
[Platinum: No, buddy, the game you wrote actually got released? You weren't really the mole, were you?]
[Insomnia Remedy: Give me a thumbs up, and I'll tell you all~]
[Guan Tian: Insomniac, if you don't give me a recommendation, I'll report you to your company for leaking information.]
Hehe—
Shen Huaizhou casually sent a ten-yuan red envelope!
This tactic is called diverting attention.
……
[Popularity value has reached 500, unlocking the Popularity Shop.]
Inside the office, Shen Huaizhou curiously opened the popularity points exchange shop.
Many familiar names appeared on it.
There are game project proposals from major companies, as well as insights from game developers.
The most outrageous thing is that you can also redeem modified engines in the popular shop.
Any game that I was familiar with in my past life.
Various art resources, producer insights, and game design ideas can all be redeemed from the Popular Shop.
"How to use Unreal Engine 4 and product design ideas".
[Insufficient popularity, redemption temporarily unavailable.]
"Unreal Engine 5, trial version"
[Insufficient popularity, redemption temporarily unavailable.]
"Unity Engine - Modified Version"
[Insufficient popularity, redemption temporarily unavailable.]
Aside from the fact that these modified engines are ridiculously expensive and I can't afford to exchange for them right now.
The rest...
Each one is a groundbreaking product.
And other items that can be redeemed, such as—
[Game rendering (learnable), game engine development (learnable), game client development (learnable).]
Character concept art (learnable), technical art (learnable), game UI design (learnable)...
Seeing these things, Shen Huaizhou became even more excited!
Therefore, the more popularity points you gain, the more skills you can master.
Becoming the industry leader is just around the corner?
Although I don't know how to learn this knowledge, the taste of this pancake is getting more and more delicious.
