Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Li Haoyu was taken aback when he saw Wang Manni.

But he quickly returned to normal.

He said to Wang Manni, "Hello neighbor, I just moved in." Wang Manni nodded perfunctorily, then went downstairs to work with her head held high.

Li Haoyu watched Wang Manni's departing figure.

He couldn't help but frown.

However, Li Haoyu's brows relaxed immediately. He and Wang Manni were just casual acquaintances, so this kind of behavior was actually quite normal.

Wang Manni is actually a typical "refined poor" girl. She is not materialistic, but her abilities are not enough to support her ambitions.

Actually, Wang Manni is somewhat like the kind of saleswoman that many people criticize.

Selling too many luxury goods makes one think of oneself as a luxury item.

Actually, she wasn't that popular.

Wang Manni always harbored a beautiful fantasy: she wanted a lifelong, monogamous love, and she also wanted a rich, handsome, and interesting guy.

But there's no such thing as a free lunch.

……

Li Haoyu stood at the door, pondering what to eat.

Li Haoyu glanced at his remaining generic T-shirts. He knew that given his current financial situation, pursuing a girl like Wang Manni was unrealistic.

You just wait, after the game "2048" is released.

That will be the time for him to show his charm.

Although Wang Manni is somewhat vain, she still works hard. She also has her bottom line: she will never start a relationship casually, and she won't fall in love easily.

Even when she thought she had met Liang Zhengxian, her "soulmate" according to her intuition, she first confirmed that Liang Zhengxian was indeed unmarried before establishing a romantic relationship.

This way, she can avoid appearing "emotionally immoral" in front of Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin. This is also Wang Manni's "self-defense" mechanism.

However... this protective shell isn't very sturdy.

Li Haoyu has many ways to break it.

Then win over Wang Manni!

Sometimes I need a girl's phone number or WeChat ID.

Why not just give her a room key?

Li Haoyu has already set the rules for the dating game. Girls like Wang Manni can only choose to hold onto the room key or give up on Li Haoyu, this "eligible bachelor".

Unfortunately, Li Haoyu is still a "diamond bachelor".

But is money still a problem for him?

Everything will be there once the game is released.

Li Haoyu made up his mind.

Make money first!

……

The current trend in the gaming industry is quite similar to the situation in reality.

For example, the most popular MOBA game, *League of Legends*, became *Infinite Brawl*, *PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds* became *Stealth Sniper*, and *Hearthstone* became *Yu-Gi-Oh!*

Although there are slight differences in details and content, the game mechanics remain the same.

Mobile games haven't been as popular as they were in the past, probably because game developers haven't moved away from big-budget single-player games and PC games, and still feel that the mobile game market doesn't have that much room for growth.

"In that case, I still have a good chance."

"I just need to establish a foothold in mobile games, earn my first pot of gold, and then continue to develop new games. This way, I can snowball and quickly build a gaming empire."

This is a perfect idea!

Thinking of this, Li Haoyu's mood improved, and he ordered another bowl of rice. After eating and drinking his fill, Li Haoyu returned to his rented room; the rendering was finally complete.

Finally, the blue screen stopped!

The game framework has been basically set up:

All that's left is to refine the details.

Actually, the game *2048* isn't an original creation; it largely borrows the format from *Threes*. So why is *2048* more popular?

Much of the difference lies in the richness of the materials in "2048," which includes images, videos, carousels, and other formats, making it much more playable.

"We still need some sound effects, otherwise the fun of eliminating enemies is a bit lacking! We still have some budget left, so let's buy a better game effects package."

"We also need to design a leaderboard feature; a game is meaningless if you can't show off."

The game encourages users to invite others to watch, initiate challenges, and share their achievements on social media, fostering interaction and further expanding its reach.

The herd mentality of "if you play, I'll play too," and the competitive mentality of not wanting to fall behind in the rankings, are the best ways to promote games.

Ultimately, all of this relies on emotions and social interaction.

To facilitate the game's wider adoption, Li Haoyu immediately added a feature ranking contacts. This feature wasn't difficult to add, and he completed it quickly.

However, the game's basic functions have already been completed.

But Li Haoyu still felt that something was missing.

Simple games don't mean monotonous; Li Haoyu further optimized the physics rules.

This makes sliding blocks more natural, and a single slide will move all blocks in the same direction, just like in Tetris.

He also added a random block appearance mechanism, making each round of the game almost completely different. This allows players to gradually refine their combination strategies as the game follows the principles of gravity.

This rule gives the game endless room for exploration.

This will significantly increase the difficulty of the game in the later stages.

But Li Haoyu didn't care about that.

The harder the later stages, the better! There are always some players who enjoy being tortured and taking on high challenges.

It's easy to get started, but difficult to master.

This is Li Haoyu's ultimate goal.

If some gaming pros came specifically to challenge the extreme difficulty, Li Haoyu would be more than happy for them to come; to him, that would be a free win.

Li Haoyu was very excited, feeling like he was a genius.

He then became fully engrossed in the game of advancing.

Li Haoyu's inspiration flowed freely, and he had already memorized much of the core code. The latest version of "2048" was quickly completed.

"This game is so addictive, it's bound to win over players!"

After finishing the game, Li Haoyu ran it on a computer simulation and felt a long-lost joy. He was very satisfied with the experience and decided to release the game immediately.

Game title: 2048.

Game Description: 2048 is a game that can be very mindless or very challenging. Please don't get too addicted to it, as it is one of the greatest games in the world.

If you don't believe me, click in and see for yourself. If you still can't like it after trying it for ten minutes, we welcome a one-star review to encourage us.

Li Haoyu put a lot of thought into writing the introduction.

Mindless praise? Not only is it low-class, it will also discourage some users from clicking on it.

But if it's too bland, that won't do either, and he's out of budget for advertising. So he's using the bold claim of giving a one-star review to prove the game's quality, hoping that some people will be willing to click in and take a look.

After all, there are plenty of rebellious gamers everywhere.
