I! Game Designer! The Boss Cried At The Loss At The Beginning!

It was exactly the same time!

Magic City, the headquarters of Mingyue Game Company!

It is different from the cheerful atmosphere of Platinum Star.

Their project director, Chen He, was standing in the conference room with a gloomy look on his face.

Looking at the sales report document in his hand, his hands trembled slightly.

It seems that he is trying his best to suppress his anger!

The several employees below all lowered their heads.

Just like a child who has done something wrong, he doesn't dare to take a breath.

"say something!"

Chen He slapped the table so hard that the screen shook twice!

"Everyone made great promises and spoke eloquently while playing the game! Why are they all mute now?!"

After a long time.

Only one employee in a suit raised his hand tremblingly.

He said in a weak tone, "Director... no one would have thought that... such an unpopular game like ours could compete with competing products..."

turn out to be!

Just three months ago.

Their company came up with a sudden idea in order to carve out a bloody path in the increasingly convoluted gaming industry.

I plan to find another way and invest five million to create a rarely seen side-scrolling action game.

Perhaps it was because the subject was so unpopular that no one thought of the word "car crash" at all.

But who would have thought.

Not only did tragedy happen, they were knocked unconscious and the car completely overturned!

Sales were severely crushed by a game called "Dead Cells" produced by a small workshop, and it was completely wiped out!

"Platinum Star..."

It was like a nightmare, repeating this name over and over again.

Chen He, who became more and more angry as he thought about it, punched the table again.

them!

Mingyue Game!

But it's a serious game company!

Whether it's planning, art, or well-known designers and screenwriters in the industry...it's all there!

They can accept crashes and being cut off.

But the competing games that beat them should come from large companies of the same size, right?

Rather than a small workshop like Platinum Star that I have never heard of before!

Chen He couldn't figure it out.

They are also horizontal action games. Where did you lose?

Why are players willing to endure the same pixel art style as mosaic, rather than take a look at a game with exquisite graphics that they have invested a lot of money into?

He didn’t understand, and the other employees didn’t understand even more!

A pixel art style, full of retro atmosphere, a game that almost doesn’t have the word poverty written on its face.

How did you manage to crush them in all aspects and reach the top of the new game sales list in just one night?

Oh, right...

Sledgehammer, which ranks second on the new game sales list, seems to be their platinum game.

"Your salary will be cut in half this month, and all your performance will be lost!"

Chen He was so angry that he suffered a myocardial infarction.

"When you get back, let me reflect on where we lost in the game!"

As if thinking of something, he waved to the employees again.

"in addition."

"Go and find out who the designer of this game is!"

Looking at the employees who nodded humbly, Chen He waited for a long time before sighing viciously.

"This defeat is a painful lesson! You should all keep it in your heart!"

"Now Platinum's two games are firmly at the top of the list of new game sales. We can't just wait and wait!"

"So the above temporarily adjusted the plan, allowing us to take the initiative, increase our publicity efforts, hire trolls and self-media game reviewers..."

Before he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something important again.

His brows furrowed slightly.

"And in order to save this loss, Mr. Li asked us to immediately think of a way to plan another different type of game."

"Do you have any ideas?"

The tense and serious atmosphere in the conference room eased a little.

Several employees looked happy.

It was obvious that Chen He's proposal had been anticipated by them and they had made preparations in advance!

Yes.

The moment I saw Dead Cells explode into popularity overnight and hit the sales charts of new games.

They already knew it.

This battle will definitely end with their defeat.

It's really embarrassing that a big game company was defeated by a small studio that was unknown and had no such person in the industry.

It would be too shameful if this matter went over like this, and the management above would definitely not agree.

"so..."

"We analyzed and investigated the current market share and made further plans."

One of the employees wearing glasses came over and opened the game plan in his hand.

"Currently, the small-cost and small-volume independent games segment is temporarily dominated by Platinum Star, and we cannot get involved."

"And some high-cost, large-scale games are monopolized by big companies like Tenda and Enet, so they definitely cannot be considered."

He drew circles on the document and analyzed it one by one.

"Then excluding the above game types, and considering that this Game Development Festival is about to be held, we are also invited to be included."

"In the end, we came up with a game type that is quite niche and unpopular, but has great potential due to the popularity of somatosensory chambers."

Upon hearing this, Chen He suddenly became interested and asked quickly.

"What is it?"

The employee pushed up his glasses, revealed the last page of the document, and said confidently.

"Horror game!"
