Chapter 799: Chapter 251: I Am a Game Artist! (The End)

"Game Dev Story"

The plot of the story is very simple.

It tells the story of a game design company that rises from obscurity to recognition.

The gameplay is even simpler.

Players, acting as the boss of a game company, set the company’s development policies, finalize game design plans, and during the process, decide whether to seek partnerships with outsourcing teams and whether to conduct advertising and promotions, ultimately launching the product to see the market response and final market reviews and awards.

Through such a big series of repetitive cycles, they make money and then step by step develop more refined games.

Extra money can also be used to train employees, allowing them, once experienced, to shorten the game development process.

Generally speaking, it’s a very ordinary business simulation game.

In today’s diverse gaming market of Blue Star.

This game is truly ordinary in setting, graphics, and gameplay.

Ke Jin still has better games in hand.

Be it big titles like Resident Evil, The Last of Us, Devil May Cry, Dark Souls, Grand Theft Auto, Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter, Baldur’s Gate, etc.

Or sports and competitive games like Extreme Country, the 2K series, the FIFA/NBA series.

There are also racing games like Need for Speed, Forza series.

Real-time strategy games like Civilization, and the very popular Stellaris, more famous for its memes than the game itself.

If he really wanted to make money, "Dungeon & Fighter" as a 2D side-scrolling fighting online game has never feared competition in terms of revenue.

And then, small but equally high-quality productions like Diver Dave, The Witch’s House, Portal, Terraria, and The Memory of Edith Finch.

Ke Jin had too many options to consider.

Stepping back ten thousand steps.

If he really wasn’t picky, launching Genshin Impact wouldn’t be out of the question.

But Ke Jin, amidst a plethora of noteworthy games,

chose this seemingly extremely ordinary game.

He then started his last official livestream.

At the beginning, Ke Jin named the company "Ready Player One."

The company started with just 1000 yuan.

And the company only had two employees.

Ke Jin changed the randomly generated names of the two employees to "Ke Yu" and "Gou Chehua."

Employees could be involved in five main sectors: planning, copywriting, operation, music composition, and programming.

The employee named Ke Yu had a very high initial bonus in graphics.

And Gou Chehua had a high bonus in operations.

When making the first game, the company didn’t unlock many categories.

Only options like simulation, puzzle, board, and card games, etc.

And sub-categories and tags like "Treasure hunt," "Robots," "Judiciary," "Ninjas," "Civilization," etc.

Each choice of theme and tag affected the budget for production differently.

Ke Jin chose the simulation genre and the "Civilization" tag.

Then, in the development console section, he chose to develop on the PC platform.

After confirming the game production,

in the game, two pixel-style employees started typing on their keyboards constantly.

The game development progress chart also showed at the bottom progress bar, from 0% to 100%, meaning the game was complete.

Moreover, it had four reference dimensions: "Fun," "Originality," "Graphics," and "Music Composition."

These four dimensions would affect the game’s sales.

Higher dimension values meant a higher chance of creating a best-seller.

Once the development progress reached 40%, a pop-up would remind players that they could now choose a graphic designer to design illustrations and characters.

Then it asked which player to choose for the related production.

Ke Jin unhesitatingly chose Ke Yu.

Although in the game, Ke Yu’s graphics skill value wasn’t very high, only in the 30s, compared to Gou Chehua’s single-digit value, it was acceptable.

But compared to those outsourcing teams, with graphics values ranging from tens to hundreds, and even three to four hundred,

it seemed somewhat inadequate.

But Ke Jin still resolutely chose Ke Yu.

The moment he locked it in,

suddenly gifts effects rose in the livestream room.

"User ’Raindrop Yu’ sent a Fire Arrow!"

Seeing the ID of the person who sent the gift, the comments stirred up excitement.

"Wow, awesome! The wife is great!"

"Baby Yu, hehe, my Baby Yu!"

"Isn’t this a coincidence, the wife and the big uncle are here, I have to send some gifts now as a greeting gift. /sly /sly"

"It can only be said that they are true siblings, the brother is so determined to choose his own sister in the game, their relationship is really good."

"Admiring, a godlike sibling relationship, unlike my sister, she loves to kick me every day, asks me to wash her underwear, particularly likes to grab the food I’ve eaten from, seriously annoying."

"Guy above, be careful with your sister, I can only say there’s a problem, can’t say much else here."

Ke Jin glanced at the comments and clarified.

"Don’t misunderstand, I chose Ke Yu because she’s free, the other outsourcing members are too expensive. If there were better options, I definitely wouldn’t choose Ke Yu."

Saying this, he even moved his mouse over to the gold coin section to prove he really couldn’t afford better talent right now.

Just as these words were uttered, Ke Yu, who was still watching the screen, couldn’t hold back anymore.

She directly typed in public chat.

"Can the host please refund my rocket, I sent it by mistake, thanks."

Watching the siblings ’attacking’ each other made the livestream’s comments roll intensively again.
