The acquaintance with Ye Ke was declared a failure because of Wang Chang, and then met a pirated reader of his novel in the cinema, Liu Xi naturally didn't have much mood to watch the movie, not to mention, this movie has nothing else to praise except for the better special effects.

Because she has become a bad person in Ye Ke's eyes, Liu Xi is not as interested in looking for her as before, and her life is calm, no one scolds her on the Internet, and there are not too many worries in reality.

Liu Shu and Wang Chang's novels are on the right track, on the data network, their collection has been far ahead of the novels of the same period, as for the infinite text of Da Po Street, although the collection at the beginning seems to be good, but due to the appearance of two infinite essays of the same type at once, the novels of Da Po Street were compared in an instant, and the collection plummeted.

However, this is no longer Liu Xi's business, and now she is trying to transform her game from a bunch of settings into a beta version that can be controlled and has a certain degree of gameplay.

Tencent's WeGame platform recently held a domestic indie game Grand Prix, which was announced two months ago, and Liu Xi learned about it through Qian Kun's mouth two weeks ago.

In order to be able to participate in this competition, Liu Xi can only work overtime to draw pixel pictures, and Qian Kun on the other end seems to be staying up all night every day to help make games.

On May 25th, the Stardew Valley 0.1 beta was completed.

The gameplay of this beta version is not high, although you can farm, mine, and make wine, make a house, raise animals, but the plot is not added to the game, and the NPC characters look a little rudimentary because of the hurry, and the standing painting is only less than a third.

Roughly equivalent to the half-finished Ranch Story, those Stardew Valley features haven't been added yet.

If Stardew Valley in another world is borrowed from Ranch Story, then Liu Xi's first version of Stardew Valley will definitely be considered to be plagiarized from Ranch Story.

And there are still a lot of bugs that haven't been discovered and fixed, but the start of the indie game is already imminent.

Liu Xi had no choice but to upload Stardew Valley, and then waited for netizens to criticize Stardew Valley.

Hosted by Tencent, the Indie Game Grand Prix has three parts, the first of which is an audition, in which professional game practitioners weed out programs that had no new ideas or any gameplay at all.

The second part is voting, by netizens to download the game alone, and vote "like" or "dislike", only the netizens who downloaded the game can vote, and the top ten voters enter the third stage.

The third stage is basically a victory, Tencent will let more than a dozen senior practitioners score, the top ten games will be signed, will assist in game development, and will wait for these games to be officially completed and put on their own game platforms for sale.

In the top three of the third phase, Tencent will even help them launch the three major console platforms - if those three games are suitable for consoles.

The prize money for the top ten is 100,000, the top three is 200,000, and the first place is 300,000, but at the same time as getting the bonus, the domestic release of the game will be exclusively signed to Tencent, and the studio's subsequent games will also be monopolized by Tencent.

However, the domestic stand-alone game platform is Tencent's more powerful, if you don't count Steam, which is in the gray area.

The audition should be fine, the problem is the second stage of voting.

If the characteristics of Stardew Valley are not made before the audition, it may be sprayed and plagiarized by a group of domestic players during the vote.

After uploading the game, Liu Xi breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, gave Qian Kun a two-day vacation, and then started to write novels in codewords again.

The stall was too open, which led to Liu Xi concentrating on making games, and the novel could only be maintained once a day.

Post today's update on the Internet, and promote your game over there as the author said.

"Swing's first game 'Stardew Valley' has been added to the WeGame platform's Indie Game Grand Prix, please support more."

After the publicity, Liu Xi turned around and asked Liu Shu, who was sitting on the bed in his bedroom and waiting for more than ten minutes.

"What's the matter?"

"My novel is 50,000 words now, and I haven't signed a contract yet." Liu Shu said calmly, "Wang Chang's book was signed for 20,000 words, and now there are thousands of collections." ”

"Don't worry, even if you can't sign a contract, you can still practice."

It may be that the editors of this world think that Infinity has no future, or that Liu Shu's writing is not suitable for online articles, anyway, until now his books have not been signed, even if his collection is higher than those recommended novel collections.

Liu Xi felt that he couldn't understand it at all, but he could only try his best to appease Liu Shu.

"There shouldn't be any problem in signing the contract, do you know that mortal immortal cultivator? Others signed a contract with hundreds of thousands of words. ”

"I don't know."

Liu Shu shook his head very dryly, and then asked, "It means to continue writing, right?" ”

"Yes."

"That's fine."

He was about to get up and leave, but suddenly asked, "Send me a copy of that game?" ”

"Well, it's not much fun anyway."

Liu Xi didn't have much confidence in his game, sighed, and sent a copy of the installation package from QQ to Liu Shu.

"Maybe it's you in first place, I feel good."

"You haven't even played yet."

During this time, Liu Shu also gave Liu Xi some help, such as helping to call Liu Xi's head teacher as a father to ask for leave or something.

Although Liu Xi always feels that he is being taken advantage of, he can only take a few days off a week in order to catch up with work, otherwise the game will definitely not be able to make a beta version today.

When Liu Shu left satisfied, Liu Xi clicked on the latest chapter, trying to see how readers who learned that he made a game would react.

"Garbage author! Don't hurry up the update and run to make the game! ”

"! The game has been made one.,You've only updated a chapter? ”

"Part-time codeword, full-time game?"

"Other authors play games and make videos at most, but you run to make games?"

Well, the response from readers has been overwhelming, and it is gratifying.

Liu Xi lifted one of his feet and leaned against the computer desk, looked at his white and small feet, and tilted his head to think about what he should do next.

Sure enough, the game should still be perfected, and then the novel continues to paddle one day at a time.

And two weeks have passed, Ye Ke should have forgotten the fear that Wang Chang gave two weeks ago, right?

Then it's time to go to Ye Ke to enhance the relationship.
