Game Design: How did I become the richest man?

Chapter 2 Something is wrong in this world

Liu Wei turned on his computer and began to search for the feasibility of these two majors.

But after only a few minutes, Liu Wei discovered something was wrong.

It seems that something is wrong with the world process.

Although it is 2017, some popular works in the entertainment industry no longer exist.

In the gaming industry, what shocked Liu Wei the most was the disappearance of Penguin.

No, it is more accurate that 'Penguin Interactive Entertainment' has disappeared. Penguin only exists as a dating platform.

The disappearance of 'Penguin Interactive Entertainment' means that a large number of penguin-related games no longer exist.

dnf, lol……

These traces seemed to be erased by an invisible hand.

There are still some masterpieces, but it has become a different game entirely.

"The butterfly effect caused by time travel?"

Liu Wei first called his family to confirm that everything was fine before he started thinking.

From the known information on the Internet, Liu Wei confirmed several things.

Just some works disappear, but those celebrities still exist, just in another work.

The development of science and technology is not much different from before time travel, and it is still proceeding step by step.

But the only thing that made Liu Wei feel strange was.

Although 'Penguin Interactive Entertainment' has disappeared, the mainstream of domestic games is still the 'free game era'.

Although domestic crackdowns on piracy and cheating have become more stringent, the threshold for entry into prison has been further lowered.

But this still cannot change the decline of the 'buyout game' in the country.

"In this case, I will directly choose the game industry!"

Liu Wei looked at the computer screen and said.

As a senior otaku, although Liu Wei doesn't know how to make games, he can play them!

As for the movie...the movie in Liu Wei's mind is not suitable for filming!

In the pig farm and goose factory in the previous life, many good games and good cards were played poorly.

What's more, I don't need to be a pig farm or goose factory at all, I just need to play a rubbish game.

Make another drastic change at will and go straight to GG!

A loss of [-] can only be considered a small amount of money!

With the experience of being backstabbed many times, is it not easy to find the poisonous points of players?
"Show it badly, and then lie down and make money!"

"Life is so simple!"

Liu Wei is very confident in his "bad game".

……

Liu Wei logged into the steam platform and found that the steam platform had also changed.

First there was a 'developer platform'.

Everyone can publish their own games here, and there is a lot of game material in the 'Developer Platform'.

Even people with no basic knowledge can use the 'Developer Platform' to make some simple games.

Of course, better game assets cost money to use.

As for the best batch of materials, they are all specially customized by the studio. Unless the company goes bankrupt, they will not be sold on the steam platform.

But users can contact those famous studios through the steam platform to facilitate their own customization.

And the user name of his 'Developer Platform' is 'Ultimate Network Co., Ltd.'.

It seems that the system has done all these trivial things.

Just play the game!
"This makes it easier for me to operate."

"I just need to spend money to buy some templates, and then randomly set up pictures, change skins, etc. The 3 yuan can be easily spent, and with the planning and operation in my mind, I have countless ways to make this game unsuccessful. "

Just do whatever comes to mind, and Liu Wei has already begun to think about what game is better.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Wei grinned and smiled.

"It's up to you!"

"Original mountain templates, colorful, lifelike, ten thousand sets."

"Cosmic starry sky scene template, with ethereal sound effects, [-] sets."

"Who would buy this except someone who is being taken advantage of?"

"But what a coincidence, I am going to be taken advantage of today!"

"I still have some money left, so I can buy something and put it on it. This hedgehog template is good. You can move around freely. I bought it."

"Oh, this rabbit template is pretty good too. It can also bark. I bought it!"

"Finally, add a leaderboard function, perfect ending!"

It took Liu Wei half an hour to consume all 3 yuan.

Simply put, these resources are a bit expensive.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the sales volume to be in single digits now.

But there are advantages to being expensive. First of all...it's expensive!Secondly, it’s very realistic… and very expensive!

Finally, it's really expensive!
For example, this original mountain template looks like a mountain from the inside out, with steep rocks and trees standing on top. The foundation of the mountain can also be seen in the lower part, which is so lifelike.

It can even automatically adjust the shadows of mountain peaks based on differences in lighting and background. The details are amazing!

Only sold for 1 yuan?

This is no better than robbing one's conscience!
Look at this cosmic starry sky template again, with the sky full of stars and the ethereal music ringing in your ears. Do you feel a sense of resentment?
Imagine a lonely mountain floating in space, surrounded by countless stars, reflecting each other. Nature and animals on the mountain live in harmony. It’s so stupid!
But after all, this is a game, not a wallpaper. Liu Wei must set up a suitable gameplay, which can at least pass the system's review.

A suitable gameplay is the essence of the game.

A simple combination of templates cannot make a qualified game.

Liu Wei dragged the purchased small animal template into the original mountain template, so that there was basic interaction.

Although there are only two animal templates, there are so many of them.

More quantity leads to qualitative change!

As long as the player clicks on the animals, these animals will escape.

As for the rest of the gameplay?
I've given you an escape from the interaction. Isn't it enough?

What bike do you want?
You are no longer that kid who could enjoy playing whack-a-mole for half the day!
But after Liu Wei thought for a moment, he showed mercy and decided to add additional interactive gameplay.

That is - you can use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out! ! !
The zoom-in function allows you to observe the scene changes of the mountain in more detail!

The zoom function allows you to enjoy the wonders of the universe!

"I'm such a good person!"

Liu Wei shook his head and sighed to himself.

All that's left is the game's end screen.

Liu Wei thought for a while and decided not to do it!

What do you want to end the interface?

Do you need these things for a bad game?
When a player exits the game, just come up with a ranking list to show how long this person has been playing!

As for the name of the ranking~
'Time wasted ranking'

By the time players see themselves playing such a mentally retarded game for so long, they will definitely be dissatisfied.

When I saw the name in this ranking when I quit, I must have greeted the company from top to bottom!

Not only that, this game has no way to run in the background.

Once the mouse is not on the game screen, the leaderboard will appear directly, forcing the end!

perfect!

Because the 'Developer Platform' comes with its own editing function, the purchased template resources can be integrated at will.

So even if Liu Wei himself has never learned programming, he can easily complete it.

But when it was put on the shelves for review, Liu Wei ran into trouble.

This crap is, at best, a game, and at worst, garbage.

Moreover, the domestic environment is dominated by the 'free game era'.

So Liu Wei directly set a price of six yuan for this game.

The price is neither high nor low, just on the threshold of domestic players.

If it’s too low, people may be too lazy to retreat.

It’s too high, but this is already the top price for this game. If it’s any higher, you’ll be warned by the system.

Liu Wei is well aware of the shortcomings of domestic players. He won't blink an eye if he pays 2000 yuan for a free game, but feels distressed for a long time if he pays dozens of yuan for a buyout game.

Not to mention his own piece of shit.

But there are always a few players who want to challenge their weaknesses.

Therefore, Liu Wei needed to persuade him to retreat from other aspects.

Game name: "Mountain Simulation"

Game introduction: In the vast universe, you can enjoy this beautiful and quiet moment, together with a mountain...

The introduction is a plus for a game.

Other people's profiles try their best to describe the characteristics of their games.

For example, Cthulhu, meat pigeon, girl...

But there is no difference between Liu Wei’s game introduction and whether he has written it or not.

You can understand things clearly from the poster, so I have to repeat them again.

Take the badass to the extreme!

"Perfect!"

Liu Wei clicked upload with a smile on his face.

Start thinking about the happy life after a month of ruin.

"What should you do first after you have money?"

"Hey Hey……"

　Everyone can speak actively, and I will listen carefully and study hard.

　　Those who like it highly can write a book~~
