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

"Not bad, the quality of this game is excellent."

Gangzi Games, Leiguang Studio.

Mr. Shu looked at the scene before him with delight; their survival-themed multi-platform game was under development.

And at this time, Left 4 Dead was released as promised.

Today, while observing these live streaming platforms, Mr. Shu already noticed the game's explosive popularity!

From the moment it was released at noon, dozens of live streams were all unsurprisingly broadcasting Left 4 Dead!

This applies not only to the gaming area, but also to the dance and singing areas.

On Dousha Live alone, 25 out of the top 30 games on the gaming platform are streaming Left 4 Dead!

The other five are PVP games under the Black Dragon streaming platform!

After all, Tribes and Wars is a game that has remained popular for a long time!

There are also dance, singing, and beauty zones.

At least one of the top three streamers was playing Left 4 Dead.

Although this game has been rated and is prohibited for viewers under the age of 18 to watch or purchase!

But that still couldn't dampen the players' enthusiasm!

Especially after a hard day's work, it's rare for cattle and horses to come home and have a relaxing trip.

Musou mode? That's a good idea.

"Mr. Shu, according to our marketing department's research, the game's sales on the first day will definitely not be less than 50,000 copies."

"At this rate, the first-week sales of a single steam engine platform will likely be close to 150,000."

Sales of 150,000?

In the past, this would have been something to celebrate in the Donghuang gaming circle!

Any game that is listed on a gaming platform will have its share of the revenue taken. For a game that costs 100 yuan, it's already considered very good if the game company can earn 20% or 30%.

Getting on a platform is equivalent to advertising, and game platforms are required to charge you for your advertising.

But will Left 4 Dead, which sold no less than 50,000 copies on its first day, really only sell 150,000 copies in its first week?

Not necessarily!

However, Mr. Shu saw a brand new business opportunity in it.

The reason why these big companies are hesitant to develop games is due to various restrictions.

Every game company is keeping an eye on them.

Even if big companies are masters at covering up their mistakes, they still make the news in the first place!

Without a doubt!

This time, Insomnia Studio actually dared to release the first zombie-fighting game under the rating system.

This undoubtedly paved the way for these major game developers.

In the past, we were guided across the river by feeling our way; now, they have to feel their way across the river by feeling their way across the insomnia studio.

That's really kind of funny.

"The success of the Survival Road testifies to the success of our Donghuang game rating system."

"This makes the path we need to develop next much clearer."

"We also need to speed up the development of our project, codenamed Tomorrow After."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if we caught the aurora."

Mr. Shu wasn't envious at all of Gangzi's success in the insomnia studio, because he believed that the number of studios under Gangzi's control was a significant advantage.

Their experience in developing original games is far superior to that of Black Dragon, which merely uses the name of a technology company.

But you've always been working for an investment company, right?

It's safe to say that the situation is now very clear!

The explosive popularity of Left 4 Dead has attracted a group of players and game companies to follow suit!

This benefit isn't just for the insomnia clinic.

"Well...Mr. Shu, about that decision we made before, to go and check out the insomnia clinic..."

"What are your thoughts now?"

The secretary asked curiously.

Shortly before the day before the Insomnia Studio's survival guide was launched, Shu Qi proposed to go and investigate.

The secretary hasn't contacted the other party yet, so she doesn't know if President Shu is still interested.

"Yes, of course I'll go."

"Try to get in touch with them. I want to have a face-to-face conversation with that genius producer."

"Okay, Mr. Shu, I'll contact the insomnia studio right away."

The secretary bent down to leave, but was called back.

"Wait, remember, when we're communicating, don't act all high and mighty like you're from a big game company. We're there to learn, understand?"

"Understood, Mr. Shu."

With Mr. Shu's approval, the secretary slowly left the office.

"What I'm interested in is not just a single subject like Left 4 Dead."

"Games featuring zombie hordes are a derivative of this genre."

As he spoke, Shu Qi slowly picked up the coffee on the table and took a small sip.

……

Similarly, under Black Dragon, within Aurora Games.

Ji Yuan, the vice president, was now in the president's office like a subordinate!

Also present were Aurora Games' lead planner, lead operations manager, lead artist, and other employees from the game department.

Everyone's face was filled with a serious atmosphere as they stared at the real CEO in front of them!

"Insomnia... Studio..."

"That sets a good example."

Across from him, Ji Yuan, the vice president of Aurora Games, said with a forced smile, "President Fang, you're right."

"It's all my fault for not managing my staff well. If I had known earlier that this insomnia clinic used to be our outsourcing company, I would have invested in them long ago."

"The other party has now completely rejected our invitation to cooperate."

"..."

"alright."

Mr. Fang turned around and rotated his chair to look at Ji Yuan.

As the president of Aurora Games, Fang Wen has always been immersed in the gaming industry.

He is also the person who understands games best among the several game studios under Heilong.

Back then, he was the chief game producer when Black Dragon was first established, and most of the games on the market that replicated the gameplay came from his team.

Later, when Heilong was expanding into the gaming industry, he became the president of Aurora Games Studio.

"The people under President Ji are really capable."

Fang Wen's words had a double meaning, as he pointed at Director Yan, one of Ji Yuan's subordinates.

"The lead planner for this survival game, if I remember correctly, is Hu Chen, the designer from our company who previously worked on Tribes & War, right?"

"Why is he now working at an insomnia clinic?"

"Um?"

Ruined!

Upon hearing this, Director Yan below broke out in a cold sweat.

I feel uncomfortable all over!

Especially the way the CEO was staring at me, as if he wanted to devour me whole.

"Director Yan?"

"Yes, Mr. Fang, I'm here."

Fang Wen slowly tapped the table with his hand, glanced back at him, and said calmly, "Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come anymore."

"I will have the disciplinary department investigate your activities over the past few years at the company."

"If you are clean, you have nothing to worry about; if you are not clean..."

"Oh."
