I Just Want Players to Save Money, They Insist on Giving Me!

Chapter 121: Chapter 65: Revolutionary FPS Gameplay! The staff were amazed: Could a human brain come up with this type?_2

Not to mention those big-skill, small-skill, flashy FPS games that even incorporate melee assassin classes with swords and daggers.

Just me pulling out a tile can obliterate you in seconds, okay?

But what made Ke Jin feel even more helpless was this.

The promotional video’s barrage was uniformly full of praise at this moment.

"What the heck?? This balanced? Who are you? Are you even the Netcom I know?"

"Incredible! This trend is really the conscience of the industry! Slowly regenerating health, the lower the health, the more it recovers, which obviously favors the average player since big shots usually don’t lose much health unexpectedly."

"You can even build ladders and flank? Damn! There’s something to play with now!"

"Isn’t the coolest thing that after killing an enemy, you can keep their weapon for 15 seconds? This setting is simply stunning! Wanting to try a pro’s gun before, you could only befriend a pro and arrange to duel in the training ground. Now, kill a pro and you can instantly use their gun for 15 seconds, when did Netcom become so generous? My goodness!"

"Now I have to play this!"

"The most balanced FPS ever! I don’t care what anyone says, I’m diving in! Even if a gun costs 8888 credits, I’m in!"

"8888 credits for a gun? More like 8888 credits to open a loot box! With a winning chance of 0.8888%!"

"The poor guy up front, stop being cynical here. If you’re broke, why play online games at all? Go play your single player games."

The densely packed barrage covered the sky, and although there were a few negative comments scattered throughout, the vast majority were praises.

This made Ke Jin feel incredibly embarrassed.

What kind of bitter lives are the FPS players on Blue Star living...

Maybe this is the sad truth of getting used to crap, then suddenly a pot of pig swill comes along, and everyone rushes to it, finding it delicious.

But at the same time, this crappy promotional video ultimately cemented the game Ke Jin wanted to develop.

Pubg!

Games like Rainbow Six and Overwatch, though they are higher-tier options in the same category.

No matter how you slice it, they still retain a hint of street-fight vibes, just from the same lineage but you’re one level up.

Like someone else’s paper gets a 50%, and your paper pulled out can score full marks.

But that’s not stunning enough.

What does ’stunning’ mean?

Others score 50%, you pull out a paper with no score, not because you didn’t do well, but because the teacher’s hand is trembling as he sees your answer, realizing it’s an ultimate perfect answer he’s never seen in his 30 years of teaching and he dares not to carelessly grade it. He calls over the headmaster, who shivers after a glance, and hastily passes the paper to the principal, who immediately kneels down, looking up and shouting with emotion, "With you, Huaxia Nation! Our country’s might grows stronger today!"

That’s what ’stunning’ is.

So how to be stunning.

Change the gameplay!

On Blue Star, the gameplay is only about tactical street fighting, just as a freshly-minted roast chicken knows only one position.

But if you bring out a battle royale mode, it’s like a high-society lady seasoned with experience has mastered the yoga 18 poses.

I mean, talk about spicy, right? And you’d love that spice, wouldn’t you?

Considering the explosive popularity of Pubg in my previous life, even if it was completely botched by the operators and left to the players to fend for themselves, it still holds a certain heat in the FPS community.

If the Earth’s players who’ve seen countless FPS generations are so enthusiastic.

Not to mention the Blue Star players who haven’t seen much of the world.

The shock it will bring is definitely unprecedented.

And it will surely cause a panic at Netcom, the kind where if they can’t buy you out, they just squash you then secretly start going all out on their own type.

Decisively opening the loot box.

The system upgraded to level 7 this time around didn’t add any new functions.

But there was an additional chance to input a term, which still couldn’t be the game’s name directly; searches had to be done based on categories and key hints.

Decisively entered the keywords [FPS][Battle Royale Mode].

However, considering the certain chance that Apex might pop up, Ke Jin, to be on the safe side,

directly chose the rare-grade card gifted by the system.

With a thought, he confirmed its use!

The exterior was still the diamond loot box, but the probability of nabbing a top-tier game increased.

Taking a deep breath, thereafter, he started it up!

His gaze fixed tightly on the loot box, watching it wobble left and right.

Quickly, fireworks burst forth, and the box shone with glittering gold specks.

[Congratulations! You have obtained an SS-level game planning proposal: Pubg!]

There it is!

Steady!

The moment he got the planning proposal, Ke Jin walked straight out of the office and hastily called a staff meeting.

He had no time to spare, and couldn’t wait any longer.

Since "Arknights" had been released for nearly two to three weeks by now,

and he had been resting during the earlier sale period.

Pulling out a perfect new game proposal wouldn’t be impossible.

However, this also served as a wake-up call to Ke Jin.

It feels like it’s time for another expansion at the company. This way, I can divide into several departments in the future. When there’s a game for Department A to make, I can claim that the proposal came from tapping into parts of Departments B, C, and D, with the main concept from me and details added by the staff.

And vice versa.

At least this could gloss over the fact that ’I can produce a comprehensive proposal in no time’.

Since Wind Traveler, the company had actually expanded once more.

From the original thirty or so people, they directly picked another batch of ’cotton’, expanding to a team of a hundred people, with the treatment still as before. Newcomers start with 3K, and then slowly the salary floor and bonuses increase as they become proficient.
