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

035 Did I Kill Myself? !

the next day!

Xiao Ao, who was deeply aware of his clown behavior, decided to change his ways and become a good person.

I stayed up all night writing an apology letter and posted it on my Weibo homepage, not forgetting to pin it to the top!

However.

The development of things has long been out of control, and the player's anger is not easy to calm down!

As the "Platinum Review Incident" continues to gain popularity.

In the end, it even alarmed professional official evaluation agencies!

Almost 80% of the domestic media have decided to lower their status in order to take advantage of this wave of popularity.

Take the initiative to rate "Dead Cells", a game produced by a small company!

[ING review (9.5/10): This body is the result of death! It is no exaggeration to say that Dead Cells, produced by Platinum, is definitely the indie game that shocked me the most this year! Excellent and smooth feel, retro but not cheap pixel art style, random and addictive weapon system, all challenge the limit of every player's imagination! At the same time, it can also be called a textbook for horizontal 2D games in the industry! 】

[Metacritic (10/10): The biggest surprise of the year! It has created an unprecedented new game type - Rougelike! Please remember this name, Yu Luo! We should all get to know this wonderful, talented designer! The meat pigeon will definitely become one of the greatest inventions in the gaming industry this century! 】

[Travel Starry Sky (10/10): Jaw-dropping random design, fragmented but rich plot text, retro yet exquisite painting style... and most importantly, a refreshing sense of impact! Obviously, ten is only the limit of our scoring system, not the limit of Dead Cells! 】

Player Bonfire, 9.7 points!

Bili Game Forum, 9 points!

Small white box, 9.9 points!

that's all.

From game media to game forums, to major video websites and marketing account self-media

Without exception, everyone spoke highly of "Dead Cells"!

So much so that this already popular game exploded overnight and entered the attention of many experienced players!

The fire is inexplicable...

But it’s so hot!

...

【Ding! 】

[Settlement time is over! This round of investment is completed! 】

[Project: Dead Cells]

[Current investment amount: 1 million yuan]

[Game sales: 1.56 million yuan]

[Ten times rebate amount: 0 yuan]

[Remaining time for settlement: 0 days (settled)]

【Ding! It was detected that the host continued to make profits and achieved a hidden achievement - a business genius! 】

[Achievement Reward: Time Limit Reduction Card]

[The reward has been distributed and can be used by the host at any time]

The moment when the system's clear beep sounded in my mind.

The smile at the corner of Lin Keke's mouth froze on his face, petrified and motionless in place.

It's like being disconnected from the game Earth Online.

She clearly remembered that last night, she took a look at the company's backend data and saw that sales were still hundreds of thousands short of making money back... Then she lay down in bed and slept with confidence.

As a result, I just woke up and faced a beautiful day, ready to get ten times the rebate.

Then you told me...

A game that sold 50,000 to 60,000 copies overnight not only managed to recoup its original investment, but even made hundreds of thousands more?

ah?

Lin Keke was dumbfounded and scratched his little head.

This...this is completely impossible! Could it be a system BUG?

With such doubts!

She just turned on her phone and wanted to take a look at the sales data in the background.

I saw several hot search push notifications in a row!

"The pigeons are coming!" Many authoritative media gave Dead Cells extremely high scores! 》

"The evaluation score for all platforms exceeds 9.6!" Dead Cells creates a whole new game genre! 》

"One act to become a god?" The biggest dark horse in the gaming industry this year - Platinum Star! 》

"A great game worthy of being recorded in history!" An exclusive feature provides you with an in-depth analysis of the wonderful design of Dead Cells! 》

...

"ha?"

Looking at the media reviews one after another in front of him, Lin Keke's CPU burned out.

She must have heard of this kind of propaganda.

It is said to be very effective in the gaming circle and is deeply recognized by players!

But the problem is also obvious, that is...

Under normal circumstances, mainstream media like these will only select masterpieces in the industry for review!

Small games like theirs that cost tens of millions of dollars are simply not worth the attention of others!

so...

Where do these inexplicable reviews come from?

Could it be Lao Yu or Sister Yu Rou secretly giving money to others?

That’s not right either!

These mainstream evaluation organizations are very protective of their feathers.

You can spend money or have connections with them for evaluation, but the results of the evaluation are beyond your control.

A good game is good, a bad game is bad!

The eyes of the players are sharp, and it is useless to talk nonsense!

This is the thought.

Lin Keke became even more confused.

After all, "Dead Cells" is hosted by her and she provides creative ideas. It is an anti-mainstream and anti-human game in every sense!

To put it clearly, it is not designed for people to play with...

Then why is everyone still applauding it unanimously?

The ups and downs of life made Lin Keke feel like she was about to faint.

With such doubts, she opened one of the most popular reviews and read it carefully——

"ING China: Dead Cells, the masterpiece of the meat pigeon game!" (10/10)》

What's amazing about me...is still a perfect rating!

Lin Keke, who was grinning with anger, suppressed the mood of complaining and read on.

[It is no exaggeration to say that "Dead Cells" is definitely this year, no! This is the independent game that has surprised me the most in the past five years]

[The reason why I say this is because it created an unprecedented game type "meat pigeon"]

[It cancels the traditional level growth system, and at the same time randomizes the drop probability of weapons, just like a lottery, and can even let people experience the surprise of the explosive equipment in the novice village! 】

[It uses a unique "cell growth mechanism" to cleverly reduce the boredom and frustration of repeated play for players]

[Even the pixel art style that has been criticized for many years has been combined with the old-fashioned horizontal 2D game to create a wonderful retro chemical reaction]

[From "Sledgehammer" to "Dead Cells", Star Platinum once again proved with actions that they are the biggest dark horse in the gaming industry! 】

[I believe that everyone, like the editor, is very much looking forward to their next game! 】

Looking at the lines of comments, Lin Keke frowned.

It always feels a little weird... Something's wrong?

These game settings have been blown up to the sky and become gods...

Why does it seem like deja vu?

How strange, let’s take another look at the players’ comments.

"Correct, pertinent, and to the point!"

"If nothing else, the most exciting thing is this weapon system! There are so many types, and each one is a brand new experience!"

"I'm very angry. I'm obviously in a repetitive cycle of death! But I just can't get tired of playing it. I just want to play it again for the last hundred million!"

"As long as you blow Death Cell, we will be good brothers and the eternal gods of Platinum Star!"

"The content of this game is so rich. Selling it for ten yuan is really outrageous. Is their boss' brains kicked in the ass?"

...

Each and every one of these comments is heart-breaking!

Lin Keke's face turned dark when she saw it!

Take a look at the game reviews and then look at the comments section of players.

She couldn't help but let out a question from the depths of her soul——

ah?

Rebirth, random weapons and maps, side-scrolling pixel game...

Isn’t this the big pits and poisonous spots I listed at the beginning?

this moment!

The world line ends!

Lin Keke's mind went blank!

who I am? where am I? Why do I appear in this world? Did the system choose me, or did I choose the system? Is there an end to the universe? Who is my future husband?

Who killed me...

I looked up and saw a perfect score for Dead Cells - the masterpiece of independent games!

Lin Keke, whose face turned dark, let out a soul cry!

damn it!

I killed myself!

She was almost so angry that she gritted her teeth.

It's like taking a bite of the original nine-turn large intestine.

"What a sin... What a sin!"

"This game! You really can't lose anything!"

"That's so cool! My aunt still doesn't believe it!"

at this point.

There is no turning back!
