Have you ever worked as a game designer at a major company? You just write game-related articles?

Chapter 6: Let's test it! Huh? There really is such a game?

Zhu Ji, the Celestial Dragon, sent out red envelopes in the group chat.

Then, when I was planning to find someone to learn more about this game studio...

[I have fully mastered all the resources for Getting Over It, and my understanding of the level design has reached 100%]

I have a complete understanding of the game's design philosophy.

Without hesitation, Shen Huaizhou began studying the game's design principles after finishing writing the code.

Don't be fooled by the game "Getting Over It".

They're really good at torturing players.

However, after carefully understanding the design philosophy behind it, one can realize that this game is not simply designed to torment players.

It's simple, I've learned it.

Next, I will explain the design concept behind this game.

After that, the subsequent levels were handed over to Chen Qingshan and his team to take care of.

Shen Huaizhou opened the comments section of "I'm just giving up, I only want to torment the players" again.

He immediately started using his alternate account:

This began to provoke the single-player Celestial Dragon.

"What, we gave you a test spot, and you're too scared to come?"

"Tsk, it's alright, just apologize and I don't think the author will be angry because you didn't give Gold Alliance rewards."

"After all, no normal person could play 'Getting Over It' without going crazy."

"Just don't be so arrogant in the future, talking like you've played every game imaginable."

"Stubborn Guy~~~"

As soon as the message was sent out by the alternate account, Shen Huaizhou could already imagine the other party's expression!

Here comes Zhu Ji, who just learned about this studio in the group chat.

At this moment, she held her phone with a flushed face.

He was like a steam engine, wishing he could dig the other person out of the phone and whip their corpse!

This is outrageous! I, Zhu Ji, have never suffered such humiliation!

Hey! Insomnia game, huh!

We already know where you come from! It's just an outsourcing studio with fewer than fifty employees!

Still acting arrogant in front of me?

I'd like to see what kind of games your outsourcing company can make!

Zhu Ji put down her phone and looked at the office building in front of her.

old.

However, it works.

This Insomnia Game Studio, isn't it on the eighth floor?

Moreover, they only rented half a floor and had only forty-odd employees.

These were all told to him by the experts in the group.

Zhu Ji had arrived downstairs at the studio half an hour earlier.

Once you come up, you can clearly see the words "Insomnia Game".

It was placed crookedly at the doorway.

It looks like... who would have guessed this was a game studio?

"This studio, which has been open for two years, only takes on outsourcing jobs; every game it develops itself flops."

"I have a friend who works as a graphic designer in this studio."

"It's rumored to be going out of business."

If there's someone inside the game studio, then this news has to be believed.

After all, the group members have a wide network of connections.

Even incidents like bosses hitting game designers with chairs are commonplace in the gaming industry.

What kind of games can a game company like this make?

Normally, Zhu Ji wouldn't even bother eating this kind of shit.

……

"Ding!"

Zhu Ji picked up her phone; it was a message from a group member who had a relative who was an employee inside the company.

【Brother Chicken!】

I just asked, and their employees all said there's no such thing. You haven't been scammed, have you?

Zhu Ji looked at the door of the studio in front of her with a serious expression after seeing the message from a friend in the group.

Could I have really been scammed?

This shitty studio, it feels like they're running a telecom fraud operation.

"No, even if it's a scam, I'm not afraid."

As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful woman with long legs and black stockings suddenly appeared in his line of sight.

Her long, black, lustrous hair fell naturally over her shoulders.

She had her hair tied in a high ponytail.

She was wearing a well-fitting, yet figure-flattering, office lady-style short skirt.

Upon seeing this beautiful woman, Zhu Ji immediately felt a tickle in his throat.

"This...this receptionist..."

Zhu Ji felt that his Supreme Bone seemed to be stirring restlessly.

Confucius said: "Food and sex are human nature."

This was simply an appreciation of beautiful women; there were no impure thoughts whatsoever.

But... the owner of this studio has such good taste! He actually put such a pretty girl as the receptionist.

Isn't that a bit of a waste?

At this moment, Su Jianxue walked out from the front desk with a puzzled look on her face, looking at the novice wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses in front of her.

He curled the corners of his mouth, then walked over:

"Excuse me, are you one of the testers who received a testing slot?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Before he knew it, he had found himself standing in front of a computer, looking completely bewildered.

Before her stood a well-dressed man, with the beautiful woman who had just greeted her beside him, and another man following behind.

The three of them stared intently at him.

"These are the players you recruited for the closed beta?"

"One of them, one of them, just one of them!! He's just one of the ones I was looking for."

"Dude, you should know what a closed beta test is all about, right?"

"Here, sign this confidentiality agreement first."

……

Shen Huaizhou handed the confidentiality agreement to Zhu Ji in front of him, suppressing a laugh as he sized her up.

Whether a game is fun or not, of course, needs to be tested in closed beta.

Internal testing is not for employees.

Sure enough, the stubborn Tianlong is a qualified test player.

The most prominent line on the confidentiality agreement is: "Violation of this confidentiality agreement will be subject to legal action."

After carefully reading the confidentiality agreement, Zhu Ji couldn't help but look up.

He took a closer look and saw that the three of them were staring intently into his eyes.

Finally, it fell on Shen Huaizhou.

"You guys actually made a game called 'Getting Over It'?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

"Old Shen, you're amazing! You even guessed that!"

Shen Huaizhou ignored his two companions and nodded: "Welcome to participate in our test."

"Getting Over It is an indie game developed by Insomnia Games. You're in luck."

Indie game?

Wait, Insomnia Game Studio?

What was the author's name again?

Insomnia powder! Holy crap! I think I've discovered some truth!

Am I being set up?! That author of "Insomnia Powder"... could he be an employee of this studio?!

"..."

Zhu Ji was at a loss for words, her gaze shifting back and forth between the three people.

The author is definitely one of these three people!

Could it be—this young lady?

Seeing this man named Shen Huaizhou smoothly take the confidentiality agreement from his hand.

Then, I sat down in front of the computer.

Zhu Ji's face turned red!

Damn it, my life has been ruined by this girl!

Test it! Let's test it then!

I, Zhu Ji, have tested so many games, why would I be afraid of an indie game made by a small studio like yours?

Are you kidding me?

As long as this studio isn't involved in telecom fraud, then Old Zhu has nothing to be afraid of.

This concerns my honor, Zhu Ji.

Don't let me find out where that troll who's been criticizing me is from, or I'll tear you apart until your own mother won't recognize you.
