National Game Producer

"I don't know, maybe he wants to catch us off guard." Wen Yu shook his head.

"Caught us off guard..."

Zhou Sheng thought for a while, took his [Editor Resonator], and brought Brother Wen Yu to the work area in the living room, "I'll send a message to ask him first."

After that, he edited a private message and sent it.

Yunsheng: Didn’t you say it would start in an hour? What do you mean by putting that game on the shelves in advance?

A minute later, the other party responded to the message.

Firebringer: Don’t worry, that’s not a game to compare your ratings with, it’s just to supplement the plot.

Firebringer: So, are you ready to launch a new game with me in an hour?

Yunsheng:……

Yunsheng: Let me think about it.

Firebringer: Oh, then you think about it faster, I don’t want to wait too long.

After Zhou Sheng read this message, he looked up at the article.

"How is it? What did he say?" Wen Yu asked curiously.

"He said that the game was only used to supplement the plot..."

Zhou Sheng paused for two seconds, turned his head and looked at the [Editor Resonator] on the coffee table, and then added, "He also urged us to quickly launch new games with him."

"..." Wen Yu was silent for a moment and asked, "Then what should we do? Do we want to do it?"

"Send the game for review first."

"But haven't you polished it yet?"

"It's almost the same. Some small details are the difference between 9.9 points and 10 points."

Zhou Sheng reached out and picked up the [Editor Resonator] on the coffee table, "According to the standards of the previous games of 'Firebringer', we have a good chance of winning. After all, the gameplay of his games is interesting, but the plot is indeed very obscure.

, and it has been split into several parts. Most people are basically confused when playing it, and it is difficult for the official media to give high scores."

The game ratings he competed with "Firebringer" were naturally not the public ratings on the official game platform, but the ratings given by an authoritative media that was also founded by the government and was specifically used to rate games.

Zhou Sheng knows very well that when the official media evaluates a game, there will be a "story integrity" requirement.

The general meaning of this requirement is that a game must have a complete and interesting story line, not just a story fragment with no beginning and end, let alone an illogical fantasy.

To the official media, a game that doesn't tell a good story cannot be considered a qualified game at all.

Obviously, it is impossible for any work in the "Escape from the Cube" series to meet the requirements of official media.

Perhaps after the "Escape from the Cube" series is finished, it will become a complete and exciting story.

But now, when evaluating only one of these works, "Escape from the Cube: XX" clearly fails.

"But he might also come up with other games, right?" Wen Yu hesitated.

"Are you worried that the game we have carefully polished for half a year is not as good as the game he made on the fly?"

Zhou Sheng asked calmly, "Don't forget, although our games are not selling well, they have always been among the top batch of horror and suspense games. Among the games that have been released for sale, we do not have a single game rating.

It’s less than 9 points.”

"Well, then you can send the game." Wen Yu nodded and said nothing more.

Zhou Changchang took a breath, put on his glasses and hat, uploaded the studio's new game to the official platform, and waited for approval by the platform.

After doing all this, he took off his glasses again and sat quietly on the sofa.

"Passed it up?"

"Passed it up."

"Then what do we do next?"

"Wait."

"..." Wen Yu fell silent, looking absently at the coffee table in front of him.

After a while, he suddenly raised his head and coughed lightly.

Zhou Sheng turned his head to look at him.

"I have a proposal." Wen Yu sat up straight with a solemn expression.

"What."

“Shall we try that new game called ‘Firebringer’?”

"..." Zhou Sheng looked at him expressionlessly, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"It's just to inquire about the opponent's situation and analyze it carefully." Wen Yu tried hard to explain.

"..." Zhou Sheng opened his mouth, and finally took a long breath and waved his hand, "Go and find out."

"What about you?" Wen Yu asked.

"I'll go to Weibo again." Zhou Sheng put on his glasses again.

Time passed quickly, and half an hour passed quickly.

Just when Zhou Sheng was about to go to the official game platform to check the situation, he suddenly heard Wen Yu yelling "fuck" from across the way.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Sheng took off his glasses and looked at the other party with a cold face.

"That 'Firebringer' has launched a new game!" Wen Yu said with excitement.

Zhou Sheng: "???"

"It's true, the new game is called "Escape from the Cube: Mill", it still has the same familiar flavor..."

Seeing that something was wrong with his expression, Wen Yu lowered his voice instantly, paused for two seconds before adding, "The new game was launched five minutes ago, exactly half an hour after the previous game was launched."

"Has he posted on Weibo?" Zhou Sheng asked.

"I just opened the game... uh, I'll go check it out right away." Wen Yu quickly put on his VR glasses and lay down on the sofa.

Zhou Sheng looked at him quietly for three seconds, then looked away and logged into Weibo with his mobile phone to check the news.

Sure enough, the other party updated an update five minutes ago.

Fire Bearer: Continuing to add to the plot, by the way, @云生, have you thought about it?

Like the previous update, a link to a new game is also attached below this update.

"It feels a bit condescending..." The writer opposite suddenly said aloud.

"I know!" Zhou Sheng responded coldly.

"He is releasing new games continuously like this, probably in response to your previous critical review, and then pretending to do it again, right?" Wen Yu touched his chin with one hand and speculated seriously.

"I know!" Zhou Sheng continued to respond coldly.

"Then how should we reply to him?" Wen Yu asked.

"No need to reply. Once the game is reviewed, I will notify him directly and put it on the shelves."

"good."

…

Another half hour passed.

"The Fire Bearer" once again posted an update on Weibo.

Fire Passer: @云生, it’s been an hour and you still haven’t thought about it, okay?

As usual, there is a link below, and on the other side of the link is the store page of "Escape from the Cube: Birthday".

Zhou Sheng looked at this Weibo and was silent for a long time.

"Zhou Sheng..." Wen Yu from the opposite side called him.

"Wait a moment, wait until the game is reviewed." Zhou Sheng said indifferently.

When the game passes the review...when the game score comes out, he must make the other party speechless!

At this moment, he suddenly received a private message from the "Fire Bearer".

Fire Bearer: Aren’t you going to compete?

Yunsheng: Wait a minute.

Fire Bearer: What are you waiting for? If you wait any longer, it will be tomorrow!

Fire Bearer: If you don’t want to compete, just say so. Don’t waste my time!

Yunsheng: Give me a little more time.

Yunsheng: It’s not that I don’t want to compare, it’s that the game hasn’t been reviewed yet.

Fire Bearer:......

Fire Messenger: It’s been an hour and you haven’t passed the trial yet?

Firebringer: Okay, let me know when your game passes the review.

Zhou Sheng's fingers hung on the screen of his phone and he didn't press it for a long time.

Wen Yu across from him glanced at him and suddenly felt that he was extremely haggard at this moment.

'Just like the detective in "Escape from the Cube"...'

Wen Yu silently groaned in his heart, then put on his glasses and continued playing the game.
