Top game producer

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and the production of "To the Moon" was nearing completion.

Today, Wang Jian used the excuse of debugging game content to stay late at the studio alone.

He deliberately stayed behind to use the item "Sylvanas's Music Box."

"Just open it, right?"

Wang Jian curiously opened the small, exquisite music box, and to his surprise, two translucent banshees floated out.

He was startled.

The two banshees floated in mid-air like virtual projections, and as their song began, musical notes flew into the "To the Moon" icon on the computer.

After singing a sorrowful and poignant elegy, the two banshees turned into rays of light and disappeared.

Wang Jian savored the moment and listened to the BGM in "To the Moon" again, feeling that...it seemed even better?

Compared to the previous beauty and melodiousness, it now seemed to have an added touch of enduring companionship.

However, it didn't seem to have as big of an impact on the art style of "Demon King" as when he used the "Silly and Happy Stick" last time.

Perhaps it was because his own art was lacking last time, leaving more room for improvement, while this time the BGM production was already excellent, so the improvement was smaller.

He pondered, "Now that the game's production is almost done, I can start promoting the game from tomorrow."

...

Lin Fan, as his name suggests, was an ordinary office worker.

Besides work, he usually liked to play small games to pass the time.

Before starting work, he thought that once he had a salary, he could buy and play any game he wanted.

But after starting work and receiving his salary, he bought a few long-awaited AAA titles, only to find that he didn't have enough time to play them.

A game with hundreds of hours of gameplay was impossible to complete, so they could only gather dust in his purchased list.

Gradually, his hobby of playing games turned into playing small games.

At this moment, Lin Fan had just finished dinner and was sitting in front of his computer, searching for games that interested him.

He searched for a long time but couldn't find one that caught his eye.

Extremely bored, he couldn't help but think of "The Demon King Hid the Hero's Holy Sword Without Telling", which he had played two months ago.

That game was really interesting, with a great concept, giving him a refreshing feeling.

The gameplay wasn't long either, enough to finish in one night.

Unfortunately, after playing it once and trying all the traps inside, the game had no value in playing again.

Later, he played all the top-ranked text-based puzzle games on the new game chart, but the novelty wasn't as strong as at the beginning, and he lost interest in the genre.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan opened Longyuan's Weibo again: "Let's see if there's any new news about 'To the Moon'."

In the past half month, Longyuan had gradually released some information about the new game on Weibo.

At first, he revealed that the new game was called "To the Moon."

Then, every other day, he would release a screenshot of the game.

First picture: On a cliff at night, a gray stone lighthouse stood against the backdrop of the deep blue sea with gently rippling waves and the night sky dotted with scattered stars and sparse clouds. Two young men and women sat side by side next to the lighthouse, the young man turning his head to gaze at the girl in the blue dress, revealing tender affection.

Second picture: Inside what appeared to be a spacious residence, a piano was placed in the center, with an ugly duck toy on the lid. Faint moonlight shone through the window onto the piano. A white-haired old man sat quietly in front of the piano, with densely packed paper rabbits placed on the ground around him. There was some blurry noise in the picture, making it look somewhat distorted. Two transparent figures stood behind the old man, seemingly observing the room.

Third picture: Still on the cliff, next to the lighthouse, but the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it was drizzling, giving a sense of oppression. It was still the same white-haired old man, holding a blue and white umbrella, standing quietly in front of a stone tablet, as if reminiscing about something.

...

Yesterday's picture: The sun was setting, casting orange-yellow afterglow, with half of it already submerged below the sea level, dyeing the sea surface a bright red. Many figures gathered on a large bridge, their eyes cast in the direction of the setting sun—where a rocket launch base was located. A spaceship had just left the launch pad, its tail spraying dazzling light, merging with the afterglow of the sunset, and soaring into the sky above.

However, apart from the daily routine of a game picture, there was no explanation of the game's plot.

Some of the pictures were full of suspense, such as the second picture, with the ground full of paper rabbits, which made the players who were following Longyuan's new game very curious, and they speculated about the plot around the pictures.

Many people made plausible guesses, but none of them seemed reliable enough to reasonably explain the suspense of the pictures.

"Huh?"

Lin Fan was a little surprised that today Longyuan updated not a picture, but a video: "Is this a trailer for the game?"

He opened the video with great curiosity and watched it in full screen.

The screen went black.

"Beep."

Accompanied by this electronic sound, a green light swept across the screen from left to right, with a noticeable undulation in the middle.

Electrocardiogram? Lin Fan thought to himself.

After repeating a few times, slow and gentle piano music gradually sounded, and Longyuan's ancient sword logo floated on the screen.

The scene came to a study, and the dim yellow sunlight brought a sense of nostalgia to the study. The white-haired old man sat in an armchair, turning his head to look at the paper rabbit next to him.

The screen then darkened, and a line of text appeared in the middle of the screen: "They can take you back, Johnny."

The old man returned his gaze to the front, stood up with a cane, and seemed to have made some kind of decision.

The scene switched to a map that looked like the suburbs, where two doctors in white coats were walking, the male figure holding an object that looked like a medical kit.

As the center of the lens moved from behind the two figures to in front of them, a magnificent country villa was revealed.

"They can give you a second chance to restart your life."

The two doctor figures walked to the door of the villa and stopped.

"Everything stems from that special beginning."

The scene changed to what looked like a memory scene with dull colors, seemingly from a long time ago.

A girl sat on the corner of the stairs, seriously reading a large book in her hand, with an ugly duck toy next to her.

Two boys came to the corner of the corridor, and the boy behind pushed the boy in front of him and slipped away. The boy in front was exposed to the girl's sight, and the small figure sometimes faced the girl and sometimes faced the direction of the corridor, and even though it was difficult to draw expressions on the small image, you could feel his shyness, nervousness, and confusion.

The girl closed the book in her hand and looked directly at the boy.

"Change one thing, fulfill a wish."

Accompanied by soothing and warm piano music, scene after scene flashed by, the lighthouse under the night, the girl folding paper rabbits, the young men and women riding horses across the grass...

At the end of the video, still against the backdrop of the night, the lighthouse that had appeared countless times appeared. The camera moved up continuously, and under the illumination of the silver moon hanging in the sky, the light on the top of the tower lit up, reflecting the two familiar silhouettes in the lighthouse, embracing tenderly...
