Mr. LUCK, a well-known game designer, whose real name is Yi Feng, has just turned 40 years old and has designed 7 games so far.

The Western fantasy ARPG "Dark Rebirth", which is very popular among players now, is his right-hand work.

In addition, Yifeng also likes to discuss and communicate with various game designers in the Genesis Forum.

Today, as soon as the post of Remer, a legend in the game industry, was published, Yi Feng saw it for the first time.

When Yi Feng was young, he also played games developed by Reimer before he aspired to become a game designer.

Reimer's status and weight in his mind can be imagined.

So, Yi Feng immediately clicked on the post.

"Today, times are changing, technology is advancing, and since the Genesis Game Editor ushered in a new era of gaming.

Pixel games were gradually phased out, and eventually became an outdated genre.

The entire gaming industry is abandoning pixel games, and sooner or later, it will disappear completely.

And this pixel game, called "To the Moon", changed my mind.

I was able to keep an eye on the game, and at first, there were some players who left comments on my Weibo.

They say that finally playing a good pixel game is like finding the emotion of playing the pixel game I designed many years ago.

However, this pixel game is very unpopular and valued right now, and I hope I can review it.

I miss the mention of pixel games, which carries a lot of the good times that older game designers like me struggled with.

I've been in many years and haven't seen a pixel game with a high rating.

Seeing the messages from these players, I went to review "To the Moon" with a touch of nostalgia and curiosity.

When I played this pixel game, I thought it was very ordinary at first, the game was not interesting enough, and the pixel art style was very simple.

But, a little bit deeper, a little bit to understand everything that the game has to say.

That's when I finally realized that the game was great.

Its musical atmosphere and game are in perfect harmony, with interlocking storylines and various foreshadowing techniques.

And the boring and monotonous game process also deepened my sense of substitution.

Later, the game touched my emotions, and I lamented the misfortunes of the characters in the game, prayed for their happiness, and was shocked by the twists and turns of their stories.

"To the Moon" tells a thought-provoking and touching story in the form of a game.

I couldn't be happier to come across such an impressive pixel game.

It didn't just tell me, it told everyone who loves games.

Pixel games are not useless, and they should not be labeled as outdated and disappear into obscurity.

As long as it can touch the hearts of players and bring them happiness, then what kind of game it is and what does it matter?"

Yi Feng finished reading this post, touched his chin and thought for a while: "Reimer's predecessors have spoken, and I will also play "To the Moon"!"

With Remer's status and influence, there are many players and game designers like Yi Feng.

"To the Moon" is starting to become popular!

........

Station B 10085 live broadcast room.

Lin Caiqiu just started broadcasting today, and a large wave of barrages were sent, all of which asked her to anchor "To the Moon".

In order to cater to the needs of fans, naturally Lin Caiqiu began to play "To the Moon......

As the game progressed, Lin Caiqiu's eyes flashed with crystal tears.

Until the end, the creek disappeared, and then she went to the moon with John, she couldn't control the pent-up emotions, and the tear ducts collapsed during the live broadcast: "I'm sorry, everyone, it's a bit of a gaffe...."

"There's nothing out of shape, it's called true feelings, but, don't cry with the ball, John and Xiaoxi will be happy. ”

"To the Moon is a spicy chicken game, and you can't see the screen through tears. ”

"I'm in my thirties, and I'm just as teary-eyed. ”

"This love is really so desirable, I think I believe in love again!"

"My colorful ball is also charming when I cry! This game on the live broadcast feels better than watching a movie, don't say anything, let's get a rocket first!"

"Ten rockets will be given to the anchor in the year of the flowing water!"

"Tuhao, isn't it a good rocket? This low-key number of 13 can be installed, then I'll have ten rockets too!"

"I'm really poor and give the anchor a hundred rockets!"

"Damn! I was surprised to see two local tyrants, do you still lack thighs! And your routine, you are convinced!"

"Anyway, the game "To the Moon" is so good, we watched the live broadcast, and we can't prostitute the game for nothing, hurry up and buy the game!"

And this is just the anchor of Lin Caiqiu at station B, there are other anchors, and some people choose to broadcast this game live!

Therefore, the influence and reputation of "To the Moon" have skyrocketed!

......

A group of game designers.

"Reimer's old-timers have spoken, this game is going to be popular, I'm really envious, I can actually let the old-timers be tap water. ”

"I've already played, it's normal to be able to fire, it turns out that I can still play this game, I'm kneeling anyway. ”

"The music and the game are matched, and the sense of substitution in the back is really good, and the song "To the Creek" has two syllable symbols, which can be so good, I can't control my tears when I listen to it. ”

"Hey, what the old Reimer said makes sense, maybe, we can also try to develop pixel games, which are low in development cost and fast. "Yes, yes, as long as the game is fun, the type really doesn't matter, I'll get a pixel game when I have time!"

"Then you have to work hard for a pixel game of the level of "To the Moon", and it really requires skills, and this script is suitable for making movies. ”

.......

After "To the Moon" in Remer's recommended post, it caused widespread sensation and attention, and the interest and curiosity of many players were raised.

More players began to choose to try to play "To the Moon", after all, this is the guarantee and recommendation of Reimer, a legend in the gaming industry, and they are also relieved.

Especially for players who have purchased "To the Moon" for the first time, and then, feel that the game experience is extremely poor.

These players, they were shocked, and with a little disbelief, they went to clear "To the Moon"!

Soon, the direction of the wind changed.

These players who have given bad reviews and are not recommended have added and modified their reviews!

As for those refunded, most of them bought the download again!

The game score of "To the Moon" on the Leli game platform gradually climbed up from 5.0, and it didn't take long to climb to 9.7 points!

Sales also began to increase significantly, and in the future, the rate of thousands of sales per hour even skyrocketed!

It's a miracle that this pixel game has not kept up with the times, but it has reached this rate of sales growth!

......

A game media website.

Director: "Xiao Wang, hurry up and take down the manuscripts we sent on the website." ”

Xiao Wang: "Which manuscripts?"

"It's those drafts that sing the praises of "To the Moon" and the game of Leli! Now the game is selling like a rocket! Players have received rave reviews!

The title of the manuscript was changed to "To the Moon, the Shocking Magic of the Glass Game!"

"Yes!"

The game score of "To the Moon" on the Leli game platform gradually climbed up from 5.0, and it didn't take long for it to become 9.7 points!

Naturally, sales began to increase significantly, and in the back, the rate of more than 1,000 sales per hour even skyrocketed!

Even those players who were originally refunded, most of them changed their minds and repurchased the download!

Seeing such a reversal, the game circle was dumbfounded.

In May, more than half a year has passed since Leli Games developed "Hatsune Miku Singer Project", a super popular game, which made Leli Opera Company rise at once, and was known as a magician in the game industry.

Many people in the industry are happy to see Leli games make jokes.

Finally, in November, the situation of Leli Games' development of the second pixel game "To the Moon" is quite bleak, which can be said to be a myth buster.

The industry thought that this joke was settled, after all, Leli Game was the head iron, and it was hard to touch the pixel games that were eliminated by the times.

However, within two days, the situation was reversed, and it was incredibly fast.

is already an outdated pixel game, but it has created a miracle again, and it has also refreshed the entire gaming circle's perception of pixel games.

Those game media and portals that were not optimistic about the draft of "To the Moon" suddenly became busy

A game media executive: "Xiao Wang, hurry up and take down the manuscripts we sent on the website." ”

Xiao Wang: "Which manuscripts?"

"It's those drafts that sing the praises of "To the Moon" and the game of Leli! Now the game is selling like a rocket! Players have received rave reviews!

The title of the manuscript was changed to "To the Moon, the Shocking Magic of the Glass Game!"

"Yes!"

..........

Four o'clock in the afternoon of the day.

Because of the shocking reversal of "To the Moon", the atmosphere of Leli Game Company was full of joy.

In addition, the company has now recruited a new Xia celadon, and there is one more person, which looks a little lively.

Well, a little bit of that is fine.

Because Xia Celadon is really cold, especially this morning, Xia Celadon came to work in the company.

Of course, Lin Xiao explained some details of her work.

Then, the girl replied, still standardly: "Well, okay, I see..."

After a while, Lin Xiao felt very tired.

To say, Xia Celadon is perfunctory, but it is not like that at all.

Lin Xiao can also see that she is just a character and has no malice.

Lin Xiao concluded from this that the so-called facial paralysis is very cute, which is a paradox in itself.

After all, there are cute points, but, after approaching, communicate with each other.

found that I couldn't feel the cuteness of the other party at all, that is to say, distance produces beauty, and truth is not deceiving.

All in all, a girl with facial paralysis can't be provoked!

"Lin Xiao, this time thanks to you saying that you want players to speak for the game, this is why "To the Moon" has won the favor of the legendary teacher Reimer in the game circle!"

Today's data and momentum, "To the Moon" has achieved gratifying results, and it has been certain, and Artoria, who cares about "To the Moon" very much, praised Lin Xiao with joy.

"This time, I think it's really lucky. Lin Xiao was modest, in fact, in his opinion, it was a matter of time before the quality of "To the Moon" was reversed, but this time the luck was too good, and the players were powerful, and he was surprised by the speed.

"Luck is part of strength. Artoria said seriously.

"Agreed. Xia Celadon made a rare opening.

"Anyway, celadon, how does it feel to work here?" asked Artoria in passing.

"A bit idle. Xia Qingci said lightly.

"Now you can take a break and be mentally prepared, and everyone will have work to do in the next game. Lin Xiao interjected and revealed the next step in advance.

Artoria's eyes blinked, and she was interested: "What game are you going to do?"

"I'm going to get into mobile games, and when the game design document is written, we'll have a meeting to discuss it. ”

.........

4:30 p.m.

Lin Xiao met Ye Buyi in the reception room, wearing formal clothes to come to the interview.

Originally, they were in the TT chat group, and they talked about it, and they have known each other for a long time.

So there's no need to say anything polite

Lin Xiao said generously: "Everyone is familiar with each other, you don't have to be nervous, let's chat casually." ”

"I'm not nervous, I'm very happy to meet the creator of the virtual singer. Ye Buyi replied with a smile.

"Judging from your resume, what you are good at is game evaluation, and you don't seem to be proficient in game design, so you said you want to apply for an assistant, right?" Lin Xiao Zhengse

It's not uncommon to work as an assistant to a well-known game designer.

After all, in order to qualify as a game designer in this world, you need to independently design a game with a certain popularity.

Most of the people who choose to be assistants do so because they don't have the experience and level to qualify as a game designer.

It's also a great way to become an assistant to follow the game designer, gain experience, follow their teachings, and enrich yourself, just like being an assistant to a manga artist.

"Yes, I want to start as an assistant and work my way up to become a good game designer. Ye Buyi said enthusiastically.

Lin Xiao stared at Ye Buyi's eyes and said in a deep voice: "I can see that you are sincere, but you are now 26 years old, and at this time, you still plan to become a game designer, what is the reason?"

This question made Ye Buyi fall into deep thought, and after a while.

"Since before, I like to play games very much, and I have tried to take the road of game designer, but it didn't .....work," Ye Bufu showed a regretful expression, "Later, I did game reviews, and my work was mainly to write those review articles or promotional soft articles, some time ago, I suddenly found that my job was very meaningless, especially sometimes, the company collected money, and asked me to write review articles, which must beautify those games with poor quality, monotonous gameplay, and even plagiarism." ”

Ye Buyi paused, and some guilt appeared in his eyes.

Then, he continued, "Because of this, I plan to stop doing game reviews and get back to my heart and pursue my original dream, which is why I plan to become a game designer.... At that time, I sent resumes to many game designers, but they were all rejected, and I happened to see the recruitment information posted by Leli Games on Weibo, so I had the mentality of giving it a try, so I submitted a resume for a job search game designer's assistant. ”

Hearing this answer, Lin Xiao pondered.

Ye Buful, this UP who generates electricity with love, is still very loving, Lin Xiao actually admires him very much, otherwise he would not have been invited to the interview.

You can feel the sincerity in his words, he is the kind of person who really loves games, and he really wants to learn as an assistant and then realize his dreams.

Working with such a positive and energetic person will surely be a lot of fun.

The only drawback is that the shortcomings of Ye Buxing's ability are more obvious.,Only proficient in game evaluation.,Game design is estimated to be just getting started.。

While Lin Xiao was pondering, Ye Buyi waited quietly, quiet on the surface, but in fact, he was restless in his heart, restless, and his nervous back was wet with sweat.

After about five minutes, Lin Xiao looked at Ye Buyi and said seriously: "That's good, the probation period is 6 months, if your performance during this period can satisfy me, then you can stay, what do you think?"

"Really!?" Ye Buying's eyes widened.

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded at him.

After receiving the affirmation, Ye Buyi suddenly couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he spoke incoherently: "Great, thank you, thank you so much, I will definitely cherish this opportunity!"

Lin Xiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, come to work tomorrow, don't come in a suit, I don't have so many rules, it's good to be free." ”

Ye Buyi hurriedly nodded: "Yes!"

In this regard, two new members of Leli Games confirmed.

The research and development of Lin Xiao's next game will also officially start.
