Chapter 1 Producer Development System
Parallel world, Blue Star, Binhai City.
"Alright, Uncle Ren, don't worry. Senior sister has already had three games fail. The next game can only be a mobile game, and it will definitely fail even more than the previous ones."
"Don't worry, I guarantee that if this game flops again, my senior will definitely go home and inherit the family business, and never mention making games again."
In an office building in the city center of Tianhai, Tang She watched the traffic outside the window while listening to the conversation on the other end of the phone.
"Oh, what are you talking about? You can rest assured about my work. I'll disappear immediately after receiving the money, and I definitely won't cause you any trouble, Uncle Ren. Alright, alright, thank you for your trust, Uncle. My senior is waiting for me in a meeting, let's talk later."
After hanging up the phone, Tang She breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up the documents on the table and prepared to go to the conference room.
A year ago, he was just a recent college graduate who grew up in an orphanage and was no different from any other recent graduates.
If I had to say, he's slightly more handsome than the others.
This became the trigger for the current incident.
He met Ren Wei, his senior, whom he hadn't seen for a year, right after graduation.
To summarize the situation in one sentence:
The senior student didn't want to go on blind dates and wanted to use him as a shield. He offered her 30,000 yuan a month, seven types of insurance and two types of funds, and 17 salaries a year.
As a young man with ideals, ambitions, and principles, Tang She accepted the offer without hesitation.
You can't give up money for your dreams, can you?
As for why Tang She has now become an undercover agent for his senior's father?
By then, the company had already developed two games, and my senior had lost nearly 50 million yuan.
We won't even mention how much money we lost; the barrage of negative reviews online left the senior student with only dejection on her face.
No one can accept their dreams being slandered online.
The senior student's father couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to find Tang She.
Under the same conditions, the monthly salary increases from 30,000 to 50,000, and there is a bonus of 10 million after the job is done.
This time, Tang She agreed without hesitation.
As for how the senior will view him afterward?
The two would never cross paths again, and Tang She didn't think he could really marry a rich and beautiful woman and reach the pinnacle of life.
He was just an orphan who had long since seen through the illusions of the world; such a thing was simply impossible for him.
Moreover, even if it really happens, entrusting your life to someone else is an extremely unreliable act.
Given this opportunity, making as much money as possible is the best strategy.
A while ago, my senior developed another game, which was even more of a flop than the previous two.
So much so that even the term "Tangren" (唐人, meaning "people from the Tang Dynasty") has become a word used to attack people on the internet.
Success was within reach, and Tang She didn't know how to describe his feelings, but he became increasingly nervous.
So this time, failure was absolutely not an option. He even took the initiative to participate in the game's production for the first time, to ensure that this failure would be absolutely certain.
Just as he was about to leave his office and head to the conference room for a meeting, a screen of light suddenly appeared in front of him.
[Producer development system successfully bound.]
[Host: Tang She.]
[Current challenge: Pending.]
[Current round: Round 1.]
[Host's current level: LV.1]
Tang She stared blankly at the light screen in front of him.
The system seemed to sense his confusion and refreshed the screen with more detailed information, quickly filling the screen in front of him.
This system will do its best to mold the host into a perfect game producer.
Every Monday, the host can start a game development challenge. The system will randomly select three games for the host to choose from.
After the host selects a game, the system will evaluate the host's team, and then provide the development cycle, estimated sales revenue, and system settlement time.
The host must complete the game's development within the specified timeframe. If delays or other actions cause a postponement of the game's release, the system will enter a 3-month cooldown period. (The timer will begin after the game's release.)
[After the game's official release, the settlement timer will begin. If the actual sales revenue exceeds the projected sales revenue after the system's settlement, the host will successfully advance. If the actual sales revenue is lower than the projected sales revenue, the system will refund the host's development costs, and the game will enter a one-week cooldown period.]
[After advancing, the host can choose to enter the next round of game development challenges. After successfully advancing three times, a reward level will be entered, where the system will randomly select a masterpiece for the host to develop, while simultaneously increasing the host's level. Once the host completes the development and releases the game, the game development challenge will start again from the first round.]
For some reason, this system gave Tang She a strong sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Shaking his head to clear his mind of useless thoughts, Tang She easily understood the system's functions.
Simply put, if you play the games specified by the system and earn money, you can keep it for yourself, and the system will also give you a new skill.
Don't worry if you lose money; the system will cover you. After a period of rest, the system will provide you with new targets.
It does seem to be a system that can train people, but Tang She only wants to be a loser right now, so he can't use this system for the time being.
Let's talk about it after my senior goes home.
Just as I was about to turn off the system, the screen blurred again, and three names appeared on the screen.
Animal Well rating: 9.8.
[The Scales of God Rating: 9.6]
[Rating for "Three Kingdoms Kill": 2.3 out of 10]
[Because the host's current level is low, only the game rating can be seen.]
Tang She glanced at the screen subconsciously, then his attention was completely drawn to the game with a score of 2.3.
Everyone else gets 9.6 or 9.8, and you only get 2.3. Isn't that a bit embarrassing?
But that's not important. If we get the game's design proposal, we'll definitely lose money.
His original intention in holding this meeting was to seize the project while the others lacked a clear leader.
Although it is somewhat unethical to do this, it is good for everyone.
Once the senior student gives up on this project, I can recruit them back myself.
With the system in place, these employees will surely achieve great success and make a fortune by following me.
Whether they seek wealth or fame, they can satisfy their desires.
And the senior student?
The senior student has trillions of dollars to inherit, so there's no need to trouble her with such a small matter.
He did whatever came to mind, directly choosing the Three Kingdoms Kill game. After the system asked a question, the text on the screen changed again, and at the same time, dozens of pages of planning documents appeared in his hand.
Current development team: four people. Estimated investment: 350,000. Under evaluation...
[Development period for "Three Kingdoms Kill": 90 days. Estimated sales revenue: 1 million. System settlement time: 30 days.]
A two-part mobile game with a three-month development cycle and 350,000 yuan in development funds expects to generate 1 million yuan in sales per month?
What is the system thinking?
The system's algorithm is difficult to understand.
Tang She then glanced at the A4 paper that had just appeared in his hand; it was the design document for the game "Three Kingdoms Kill".
This is a card game based on the history of the Three Kingdoms period. Historical civil and military officials are represented as cards, which players can use for PVP battles.
This was exactly what Tang She wanted.
Although the history of the Three Kingdoms is very interesting, nobody cares about it, and it is not a key point in the exam.
This has led to most people only remembering the three rulers Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, and not being able to recall the names of the others.
Even historical texts from the Three Kingdoms period aren't very popular.
PVP is a terrible gameplay mode, and all mobile games on the market now focus on PVE.
He suddenly created a PVP card game; isn't that just asking for trouble?
The proposal states that the game's main problems are poor balance and serious pay-to-win issues.
Such problems need to be amplified even more.
Since I haven't played this game, there's no need to adjust the balance.
All I need to do is deepen the pay-to-win pool. Unnamed generals cost 20 yuan, while those with names cost 200 yuan. Three Kingdoms rulers like Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei cost 2,000 yuan to buy.
Let's see who plays this money-grabbing game then.
However, at this time in the company, Tang She was just a dispensable nobody.
If he wants his senior to develop the Three Kingdoms Kill game according to his ideas, he still needs to make some efforts.
I need to think about how to convince my senior.
