Chapter 15 Call Me Director!

What makes Chu Jun feel ashamed the most is that the game "Fantasy" is actually a game made by Chinese people to cheat money.

Originally, the popularity of this game was quite high when it first started.

It is an open sci-fi sandbox game with a high degree of freedom. The background of the game is roughly a robot scattered on a desolate desert planet.

In order to find its way home, it needs to collect some materials to repair the rocket.

Combining the CG and exquisite illustrations given by the promotional film, it looks like that.

The price is 394, which is an extremely high selling price in the game circle.

But because it was developed by a Chinese game studio, and it was a sci-fi game and a sandbox, many players in Huaxia rushed to support the domestic game, and bought this game on the day it was released.

After getting it, I was completely dumbfounded.

How outrageous is this game?

First of all, the 3D modeling framework is very rubbish, not to mention all kinds of modeling.

The scene is even more outrageous, with endless yellow sand, and then there are several groups of stone models pasted on them, scattered randomly.

Even some students who love to tinker with programming can make this thing with their feet.

The most outrageous thing is that the main mission of this game is super!Very!universe!boring!

At the beginning, the player was asked to collect 10 rocket repair materials, and the location of the materials was not given, so the player was allowed to control the dilapidated robot to search everywhere on the planet full of yellow sand.

In this process, there are no battle scenes or decryption elements.

Just looking for it.

After the player finally found all 10 repair materials, the player was asked to find 100 repair materials for the rocket program.

Many people have already given up playing at this point, and they have sent comments and started rushing to the game studio of "Magic".

But there was a player with a very strong willpower. He continued to search in the lonely desert and finally collected 100 materials.

After submission.

The system unexpectedly has a BUG!

The player posted about it on the forum, and the game studio finally couldn't bear the pressure and fixed the bug.

However, the hard-earned materials collected by the player were also emptied.

So he tried again to collect the materials.

I thought what was waiting for him was the picture of the rocket taking off and returning home.

However, it does not.

A prompt pops up on the system interface again, requiring players to collect 5000 copies of various ores as fuel for rockets.

This player is also an iron-headed kid. He just wanted to see what the game he bought at 394 was like. Maybe the fun ones are all behind the game for 394?

So, he once again embarked on the journey of collecting materials.

When he worked so hard to collect the materials again, he finally thought he could start the rocket.

The game ended directly, and the main interface of the game bounced back.

Players uploaded their experience to the forum indignantly, saying that this is a game that has not even made an ending.

There is not even an ending screen, as long as the materials are collected, it will directly pop back to the main interface, either exit or start a new game.

The outcry is getting louder.

In the end, the game studio had no choice but to update a wave of game content again, and declared that the ending of the game had been produced.

When the player went online and looked at it, he was dumbfounded.

This time, not only all the 5000 ores he had collected so hard were reset to zero, but he even added an extra collection form.

9999999 battery blocks need to be collected.

At this point, the game studio has made it clear that it is a small quilt under the flyover, everything you say is right
But this seemingly impossible and difficult and boring task was completed by the player who only wanted to see the game clearance screen.

He spent several months traveling to and from every corner of the desolate desert alone every day.

At the end of the day, I finally collected all the materials.

What awaited him was no picture of the rocket taking off, nor any other scenes.

There is only one sentence in red letters on a white background typed out with PS software.

"Hey, congratulations on clearing the level."

The player is said to have spent a day in front of the computer thinking about his life.

……

All in all, the appearance of this game is simply a stain in the history of game development.

Getting the finished game made Chu Jun numb from head to toe.

How to sell it?
Not to mention selling 394, even if it is only sold for 1 yuan, it is a blasphemy against the player's IQ.

"Useless rubbish." Chu Jun sighed helplessly, this thing can't be thrown away.

Putting it in the system inventory will occupy a grid...

After thinking about it, he decided to export the game and put it in a USB flash drive.

Seal it forever with a USB flash drive.

Looking at the system, opening the treasure chest for the second time will consume 2000 reputation points.

kill!

"Crack."

Accompanied by a tremor of the treasure chest.

Mr. Chu received a sentence of "Thank you for your patronage" displayed on the system's light screen

"..."

Opening the treasure chest for the third time requires 4000 reputation points, and it is also the last chance for this week.

Give Dad something nice!Dad kowtows to you!
Maybe he heard Chu Jun's inner prayer.

The moment the third bronze treasure chest was opened, it shone brightly!
【Ding!Congratulations on unlocking the game type: SLG——TDG (tower defense type)! 】

In an instant, Chu Jun's eyes widened.

He is suffering from the fact that fighting games are too niche and too hardcore to be accepted by the public.

As a subcategory of strategy simulation games, tower defense games have been sought after by many players since their inception.

It doesn't eat the player's talents and operations like fighting games.

The game mode is simple but highly playable, and has endless fun. It is a competition of intelligence and strategy.

For example, defending radish, which was once all the rage in China, is one of the classic tower defense games.

Compared with the talents and hard-core operations required by fighting games themselves, tower defense games are obviously easier to break the circle.

"Do you want to protect the radish?" Chu Jun thought for a while before rejecting the idea.

It's not that the game isn't classic enough.

Rather, each game requires cycles in its production.

Moreover, once a game of this type comes out, there will be a large number of follow-up games, and then the second and third games of the same type will be launched.

The income obtained will obviously not be too high.

Therefore, Mr. Chu needs to ensure that the first work selected for each game type is the classic among the classics, and the best of the best.

Defending the radish is obviously biased towards young people, and in this world where games are not popular enough.

Launch games for children first, and the sales will obviously not increase.

"Is there any more classic tower defense than defending radish?" Chu Jun searched the massive game memory in his brain quickly.

I haven't found any results in my mind, but my eyes fell on the potted plants on the window sill, which were coated with a layer of silver light by the moon.

"Plants vs. Zombies!!"

----

The next day.

Chu Jun, who had just arrived at the company, heard a burst of gossip.

"Have you heard that a small employee in our R&D department was promoted to the game director yesterday! The game is sold out!"

"Where's Zhang Qikai? Has he been squeezed out?"

"If you ask me, this position is not easy to sit in. Zhang Qikai has an uncle who is on the board of directors, and his nephew was kicked out. The newcomer looks like a talent who will be trained by Tang Dong. Can he just sit back and do nothing?"

"That's right. It hasn't been a day or two since Mr. Hu has been eyeing Mr. Tang's shares. Who doesn't know that Apocalypse is such a big cash cow? Even the games brought over from the European and American headquarters are not acclimatized in our country. There are tens of millions!"

"I heard about Director Zhang's dog legs, and I just heard some rumors. He said that the upper management of the company plans to leave the mess that Director Zhang made to Mr. Chu."

"Which one?"

"Who else can there be? The mess of the plan to break the circle. The indicators issued by the headquarters a while ago require the company to be able to independently develop games, and how many indicators to break the circle. How many talents are playing games now? The short video and live broadcast industries are both I'm about to lose my money, can the game industry not be jealous?"

"Hey! That mess is too difficult, isn't it? Director Zhang seems to have not even completed one-tenth of the progress, and then Director Hu came forward to suppress the matter. Now if Mr. Chu takes office as a new official, he will lose this task ..."

"Mr. Chu is about to die."

"Who says it's not. But let me tell you, Mr. Chu is just lucky. How can a small employee jump a few levels to become a director? He has a pretty face, and he may have some unreliable relationship with Mr. Tang. Tang Dong will protect him like this. If it's me, maybe I can do it too?"

"You can pull the hook quickly."

Several colleagues were discussing on the way to work, Chu Jun walked past them, listened to their conversations, and glanced at them.

Immediately, several people panicked and greeted each other stammeringly.

"Chu...Mr. Chu."

"Call me Director."

"But, you...you are only on your first day in office."

"the next day!"
