Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 7 Who is the peak at the end of the game? When I see Cai Gou, everyone is in vain!

"I Want to Be a Man" sold nearly 60,000 copies in less than four days after its release, and its emotional value was also close to 80,000 thanks to live broadcasts by major anchors.

Entries to the College Student Game Festival are priced at a unified price of 3 yuan per entry.

The price may seem low, but it has an advantage that other games cannot compete with——

The platform does not take a commission!
  Even other expenses such as publicity and distribution are borne by the College Student Game Festival official.

In other words, no matter how much money Cai Gou makes, apart from normal taxes, all other profits can be collected into his own pocket.

Even at the end of the College Student Game Festival, considerable bonuses will be awarded.

This way.

For newcomers who are just starting out but stand out, there is no need to worry about the first pot of gold.

This is also the reason why the game industry in this parallel world is so developed.

A complete new talent training mechanism is crucial to any industry.

"Eighty thousand emotional points? The game is over. It should be no problem to break through 150,000!"

Cai Gou smiled and said: "Finally I can let go and have a big game! New games can also be put on the agenda!"

"For a new game...the size can be increased and try changing the genre!"

"Players feel ecstasy after playing "I Want to Be a Man"? Where are they?!"

"The next game will let them experience what real hardcore is!"

Just when Cai Gou was thinking about which theme to choose for the next game.

"Dong dong!"

Liu Ruoya opened the half-open door and walked in:
  "Classmate Cai, I didn't disturb you, did I?"

Cai Gou stood up immediately after hearing this:

"Class teacher, why are you here?"

"Well, there's a small matter. You couldn't get through on the phone, so you came to the dormitory to look for me."

Cai Gou took out his mobile phone and explained:

"After the schedule and rankings were released today, many people called me privately. They turned off their phones because they were annoyed."

"Haha, I guess that's the case too!" Liu Ruoya pulled up her hair that was hanging down from her temples and asked:

"How does it feel to be a blockbuster?"

"That's it!"

"Well! Your attitude of not being shocked by honor or disgrace is very good!"

After a few pleasantries, Liu Ruoya got to the point, informed Cai Gou of Wu Xiu’s invitation, and explained:

"I didn't agree. I wanted to ask your opinion. It's okay if it's inconvenient for you."

After hearing this, Cai Gou felt warm in his heart. After all, wasn't Liu Ruoya asking for a favor to find Wu Xiu just for herself?

Now that people are asking Liu Ruoya to be a middleman, it's just a one-time meeting, and it doesn't matter to Cai Gou.

"It's okay to meet up, but I'm too busy recently, so the place will be at school. I'm too lazy to run out."

Liu Ruoya agreed, but she was confused:
  "Too busy? The game is halfway through, what are you busy with?"

"Oh! Are you planning to make a new map for "I Want to Be a Man" and update the version?"

Without waiting for Cai Gou to answer, Liu Ruoya began to analyze incessantly.

"This is indeed a serious matter. Since the schedule ranking results were released in the morning, all participating teams that have spare capacity have begun to exert their efforts!"

"Although they have almost no hope of surpassing you, if your current sales numbers can maintain a steady increase, it is likely to break the record of the College Student Game Festival!"

"At that time, the Golden Cub Badge prize money from the College Student Game Festival will be doubled!"    "Huh?" Cai Gou waved his hands and smiled when he heard this:

"I don't care what the other participating teams are doing now, I'm just thinking about the theme of the next game."

"what?!"

Liu Ruoya was shocked: "You already have an idea for the next game?"

"Yeah...but it's still in the drafting stage."

"Then you don't plan to break the record? And you don't want the doubled bonus?"

"There is no conflict between the two!" Cai Gou said with a smile:
  "Although "I Want to Be a Man" will undergo a version update, it will not create new maps and new levels. Instead, it will choose to open the creative workshop so that they can also become the creators of game levels!"

Liu Ruoya's eyes widened when she heard this. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this method was far better than making a few new maps!

Even if Cai Gou didn't eat or drink for the remaining three days, how many new maps and new levels could he create?
  But if a creative workshop is opened, players can advance from challengers to creators.

By then, the popularity of the game "I Want to Be a Man" and the response among the player groups will increase greatly!
  It is equivalent to players helping Cai Gou improve the depth and breadth of this game.

Other teams will surely fall into the sea of ​​​​people!
  The most important thing is that all this does not require much thought on Cai Gou's part.

The cost is very small and the profit is extremely high!
  "Sure enough, it's just the wrong name, not the wrong nickname!" Liu Ruoya said with a smile:

"I finally know why Fei Yangyang and Zhu Pingan in dormitory 404 call you Brother Dog!"

"You are a real dog!"

"As long as you know what you're doing, come on, try to make your teacher feel proud!"

"Eh!"

After seeing off the class teacher, Cai Gou logged into the event page, glanced at the various games of Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, and smiled slightly as they each showed their magical powers.

It wasn't until Cai Gou's eyes were locked on the 33rd-ranked game [Rush ahead] that there was a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Don't worry, we have a long way to go!"

After half an hour.

All players who purchased the game "I Want to Be a Man" will be notified of the update announcement.

[General Tiangong: This update opens the creative workshop function. Players can use the game's own editor and materials to create game levels. After uploading, other players can enter the challenge]

[Of course, in order to prevent players from maliciously creating map levels that cannot be cleared, all players who upload levels need to record a video of a successful challenge]

[From now on, until the end of the College Student Game Festival, players who have not passed the production level will receive the out-of-print title "The Ultimate Real Man"]

[Subsequent players can rate the new levels every month on the playability, difficulty, creativity and other dimensions, and the selected players will automatically wear titles such as "Level Creator", "Creative Master" and "Uncrowned King"]

As soon as the update announcement came out, it caused thousands of waves!

The player base was instantly excited, and the update announcement went viral at an extremely fast speed.

"What? Open the creative workshop? We can also design levels? This is really... so cool!"

"I have my own principles. I don't want to be stepped on by others all my life. You think I am a beggar. I have been waiting for a thousand years just to wait for an opportunity. I want to fight for a breath, not to prove that I am great; I want to tell people that I must get the out-of-print title!"

"Awei is dead, did you choose him! Idol! I'm determined to get the out-of-print title! Even Jesus can't keep him, I said so!"

"Ah! Ah! The former Zhen Huan is dead, and I am now Niu Hulu Zhen Huan! None of you can pass the new level!"

"Incarnate Obito: I want to create a world where only Lin can clear the level!"

With the help of creative workshops.

The sales trend of "I Want to Be a Man", which had been gradually flattening and the gap gradually narrowed by other games, soared instantly.

The participating teams sighed after seeing this——

Who is the peak at the end of the game? When I see Cai Gou, everything will be empty!
