Have you ever worked as a game designer at a major company? You just write game-related articles?

Chapter 14: Almost Exposed! What a close call!

He had just lain down when Su Jianxue grabbed his hand and pulled him up.

When Shen Huaizhou opened his eyes in a daze and looked at the woman in front of him, he only saw Brother Chen waving his hand with a roguish expression.

Leaning against the door means, "May you have good luck."

"Heh...heh...Lao Xue, good morning."

"What do you mean 'early'? Get up quickly, we're having a meeting!"

The moment Shen Huaizhou's eyes slid over Su Jianxue's long, black-stockinged legs, Su Jianxue's voice came through.

"Let me tell you, our game has sold over 20,000 copies!"

"Chen Qingshan, how much was it again?"

At this moment, Chen Qingshan walked in from outside and closed the office door behind him.

Looking at himself with a face full of surprise:

"Huaizhou, you're amazing!"

"In less than 24 hours, we've sold 24,352 copies of this game!"

"How much...?"

Before Shen Huaizhou could even wake up, the sounds of celebration could already be heard outside his office!

Insomnia Game Studio has a small number of employees.

A dozen or so.

The team mainly consists of artists, level designers, planners, and operators, along with their three partners.

Within Donghuang's gaming industry, they are a team that only outsources.

They can make a living even by outsourcing.

But now, their studio's first game has actually sold.

More than 20,000 copies were sold.

Mr. Shen is truly a genius!

More than 20,000 copies were sold for ten yuan each, which means that he earned more than 200,000 yuan in just one night.

With the platform's commission, over 100,000 yuan could be earned in just one night.

I made a profit, I still did.

Moreover, this is only the sales figure for the first day, based on my understanding of this game from my previous life.

A million units sold is not a problem at all.

Moreover, this is only the first day; it hasn't been fermented or promoted by the streamer.

Thinking of this, Shen Huaizhou's lips curled up slightly.

……

Without a doubt, "Getting Over It" became a hit, selling over 20,000 copies on its first day.

After the players were tortured to the point of ecstasy, none of the streamers could escape it.

In just one day, various game live streaming rooms...

Every streamer now has a copy of Sima Games called "Getting Over It".

Watch as Uncle Bennett, under your control, leaps from a great height.

It has brought torment to countless live streamers.

However, it also brought joy to countless viewers.

Similarly, the media also sensed this trend.

After all, even big companies don't dare to make these kinds of games that torture players these days.

But what about this studio called Insomnia Games?

How utterly rebellious!

This is outrageous! How dare they torture the players! What are players? Players are just韭菜 (a metaphor for easily exploited people)! You torture the韭菜, but what if the韭菜 won't let you harvest them?

now.

Inside the meeting room of the Insomnia Game Studio.

Financial Controller Su Jianxue was happily reporting the data to everyone:

"According to our backend monitoring."

"Today, the sales of 'Getting Over It' have not stopped, but are still rising."

"Among them, the first day of the game's release."

"We've successfully completed our debut! We sold 20,000 copies!"

"I also want to thank President Shen for his brilliant leadership! Let's give him a round of applause!"

clap clap clap-

wow-

Throughout the conference room, applause resounded continuously, as this game was now the first insomnia game to be released.

This momentum is very good and has greatly increased the confidence of every designer present.

However, as for Shen Huaizhou...

At this moment, he was holding his computer, frowning as he designed the next game's appearance in the novel.

But then, my phone chimed.

This drew his attention to his phone.

Is it a work group?

[Chen Qingshan: Hey! Lao Xue, Huai Zhou, look at this book, it's amazing!]

[Su Jianxue: What's wrong? I don't read male-oriented novels.]

[Chen Qingshan: This damn novel, it was just signed, but on its very first day of publication, it actually predicted the game our company would be releasing!]

[Su Jianxue: Huh?]

[Chen Qingshan: Do you think it might have been written by one of our own employees? Writing a novel during work hours, wouldn't that be considered a leak?]

[Su Jianxue: But... this game was just submitted by Huaizhou, wasn't it?]

[Chen Qingshan, Su Jianxue: Ding—]

hiss! !

Shen Huaizhou, who was secretly typing away, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, a cold sensation rising directly from the soles of his feet.

As the two bosses chatted in the group, several employees also took a look.

An entire conspiracy theory emerged in this group chat.

Even everyone is a suspect, but every time the suspicion is directed at Shen Huaizhou.

You'll be swept away by the rhythm.

Similarly, similar suspicions have emerged in the book review section.

Information linking authors and game developers is emerging in abundance.

However, as long as the author remains silent, it means that this matter can only be left unresolved.

Otherwise, what game developer would write a novel themselves?

Perhaps they're just idle?

However, online literature is a niche genre, and no matter how much speculation there is, it will never break out of its niche.

It was only mentioned by a few people within the player community.

then--

The book's popularity has surged once again.

The book "I'm Just Giving Up, I Just Want to Drive Players Crazy" instantly rose to the top of the new book charts.

Its ranking is only below the new books of some big names.

He surpassed several platinum authors on various online reading platforms.

……

"Old Shen! Old Shen, what are you doing? Snap out of it!"

Shen Huaizhou snapped out of his daze in the group chat and looked at everyone in the conference room, trying his best to conceal his presence.

He was afraid that everyone present would find out his current identity.

"Ahem!"

"Our game has already been launched on domestic gaming platforms, so my next plan is to develop a mobile version of this game."

Holy crap!

Before Shen Huaizhou could finish speaking, Chen Qingshan blurted out "Holy crap!"

"Old Shen, are you even human? I haven't even played the PC version of this game, and you're saying the mobile version? Are you trying to torture those players to death?"

"Hehe—"

"Hey, what the hell!"

Su Jianxue tried hard to suppress her laughter, saying, "To be honest, although I, Su Jianxue, didn't pass the test."

However, Shen Huaizhou's suggestion is actually quite good!

only--

I don't know why, but I always felt that Lao Shen's suggestion made me feel like I was playing a villain.

"This game is a hit, when are you going to release a sequel?"

Just then, Chen Qingshan suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

"Part Two?"

Shen Huaizhou shook his head and said seriously.

"I have no plans to make a sequel."

"What's the difference between these generic games and those reskinned, pay-to-win games?"

"We just gained recognition from players because of Getting Over It."

"Wouldn't making a sequel just be rehashing old material?"

"That's bad for one's character."
