Chapter 1 Who would play this kind of ghost game?
"…So, this is your interview piece? Cat Leo?"
Conference room, Golden Wind Game Technology Co., Ltd., 22nd floor, Binjiang Technology Building.
As the interviewer for this game director recruitment, Chief Secretary Chu Qingzhou looked at the game plan in his hand, and then at the young man in front of him wearing a Mickey hoodie.
There was uncertainty in his tone.
She really couldn't imagine that this crappy thing could be called a "game plan"!
The game concept map on the homepage alone is outrageous.
The A4 paper is spread out horizontally, and the obstacle design exactly the same as Mario's appears on the paper.
However, the protagonist changed from a bearded plumber to a cat that walks upright and has a mean expression...?
The grass, water pipes, and even the clouds in the picture were all marked with the word "dangerous".
The vector arrows are dazzling, as if there are a hundred traps waiting for this cheap cat to take the bait with every step.
In the sloppy painting style, a sense of sarcasm comes from within.
Was this fucking thing designed by carbon-based creatures?
Chu Qingzhou took another look at the screen with a complicated expression.
Who the hell would play this kind of ghost game!!!
"Let me confirm again, Mr. Gu Sheng,"
After taking a deep breath, Chu Qingzhou closed the project plan and frowned as he asked:
"Are you sure this is the concept map of the game screen?"
"Sure, that's the style of the game..."
As he spoke, the older boy sitting opposite him gave an awkward yet polite smile:
"abstract."
…
His name is Gu Sheng, a time traveler with his own system.
Three years ago, due to an accident, he traveled to this parallel world and became a freshman majoring in game design at Binjiang University.
In this world, the level of electronic technology is slightly higher than in the previous life, but the gaming level is very poor.
The types of games are limited, the gameplay is monotonous and stereotyped, and in China, there is rampant plagiarism and krypton gold-winning games, and there are countless assembly-line games.
And Gu Sheng's system seems to be designed to conquer this blue ocean——
【Game Treasury System】
This is a points redemption system, which stores the source code architecture of all the games Gu Sheng played in his previous life.
Once opened, those works that can be called the ninth art will see the light of day again and continue to shine in this world.
but.
To start the system, you need to complete two prerequisites:
[Condition 1: Before the system is turned on, the host is prohibited from publishing any games]
[Condition 2: The host must successfully apply for a director or higher position in a game company during his senior year internship]
[Note: Both conditions must be met at the same time before the system can be officially activated, otherwise it will self-destruct]
The first condition is simple and can be easily achieved.
The key is this second condition!
During the "internship period", applied to become a "director" of a gaming company?
This difficulty is hell!
What level is a director?
That’s Hidetaka Miyazaki! That’s Sid Meier! That’s Gabe Newell! That’s Shigeru Miyamoto!
You want me, a student, to apply for the position of game director?!
Unless a boss is determined to bankrupt the company!
Otherwise it would be impossible!
Not to mention him, even if Hideo Kojima came, it would be impossible for him to become a game director overnight before graduating!
But unfortunately, the system conditions are like this. If it cannot be turned on during the one-year internship period, the system will automatically disappear.
Therefore, Gu Sheng could only try his luck.
And just yesterday!
He finally received a reply to his 100th resume.
A company called [Golden Wind Games] responded to his job application and asked him to apply today.
…
but……
It seems that the result of the interview is not ideal.
Gu Sheng looked at the interviewer's gloomy face and sighed inwardly.
He is just a poor student in this world. Even though he had interned at FromSoftware in his previous life, he worked at Yubi Sichuan-Chongqing Studio as an assistant project planner after returning to China and has rich experience in game production.
But a good cook cannot cook without rice.
Plus, the time for applying for a job is tight.
With no other options left, he had to hastily create this "Cat Rio" as an interview piece.
"Although... it's a little sloppy,"
Seeing that the interviewer was speechless, Gu Sheng decided to save his face a little:
"But the gameplay is absolutely fine,"
"A huge amount of traps will constantly stimulate players. Every time a level is passed, it will be a dopamine-secreting moment for players!"
You farted.
Chu Qingzhou rolled his eyes in his heart.
Believe me, I am the one.
Are all the players masochists? Their lives are so easy that they have to play such eye-catching things like yours???
Chu Qingzhou sighed, not wanting to waste any more time on a stupid designer, and gave Gu Sheng an apologetic smile:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, your work doesn't meet the minimum standards of the gaming industry,"
"so--"
Before he finished speaking!
Then, a crisp and sweet voice sounded beside me:
“So I think you have great potential!”
As soon as these words came out!
Gu Sheng and Chu Qingzhou were both startled and turned to look.
Next to Chu Qingzhou, at the chief seat in the center of the entire conference room, sat a young girl.
The girl was about the same age as Gu Sheng, around twenty-two or twenty-three, with a small round face and big eyes, and a bun on her head like Nezha, looking sweet and cute.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot about her.
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows.
Although it is outrageous, this girl is the president of the company and the real decision maker.
Little Nezha didn't say anything just now, and Gu Sheng almost treated her as a mascot.
But who would have thought that as soon as he opened his mouth, he said something shocking.
Chu Qingzhou was obviously a little confused.
My dear ancestor, how did you know that this grandson has potential?
Is that the cat with the cheesy smile?
Or is it the water pipe that can be used as a rocket launcher?
Or is it that stupid mushroom that will poison you to death if you eat one bite?
No matter from which angle you look at this crappy game, it doesn't seem like something a normal designer could have planned, right?
Just put this "Cat Rio" on the market and don't even mention a copy!
If he can sell half of it, I'll kneel down and kowtow to this guy!
However!
Facing the surprised look of the chief secretary Chu Qingzhou, Little Nezha was not impatient, but smiled slightly and looked at Gu Sheng:
"Mr. Gu, you just said... you have no work experience, right?"
"without ."
Gu Sheng nodded.
If his previous life is not counted, he indeed has no work experience.
"No recent plans?"
"without."
“And there are no projects in the pipeline?”
“No.”
"Very good! The Golden Wind will be the place where you can realize your ambitions and dreams!"
As he spoke, little Nezha actually stood up and stretched out his hand towards Gu Sheng:
"Welcome to join Golden Wind, Director Gu!"
What the hell? No? Wait a minute???
Seeing that their hands were about to hold together, Chu Qingzhou felt like his CPU was about to burn out!
What the hell is going on here?
Is the boss crazy?
Why do you still choose to go to the tiger mountain?
However, no matter how hard Chu Qingzhou tried to stop him, he was still a step too late.
bite!
As Gu Sheng held Little Nezha's hand, a crisp sound instantly rang in his mind -
[Congratulations, you have successfully applied for the position of Director, and the Game Treasury System is officially open! ]
[From now on, the system will automatically collect players' emotional points for redemption of games. The higher the game sales, the faster the emotional points will accumulate! ! ! ]
Is this... success?
Gu Sheng wanted to laugh.
Happiness comes so absurdly.
This little Nezha is really a great enemy... No, he is a great benefactor!
However, what he didn't know was.
Just as his system was activated!
A reminder sound also rang in Little Nezha's mind -
[Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully bound the manager, and the investment rebate system is officially opened! ]
[From now on, if the project of the host suffers a loss, the system will compensate the host with ten times the rebate! ! ! ]
