Starting with Genshin Impact, the whole world is going crazy for it.

"Wait for me, don't rush to grab it..."

"Damn, these people are acting like lunatics."

"It's still not perfect, why didn't they make Pokémon figures..."

Zhou Tiankuo was taken aback when he heard a player's question.

Grass.

How could he have forgotten about the Pokémon game?

Isn't this game all about winning people over with all those adorable Pokémon?

If these Pokémon images were made into figurines and displayed here, they would definitely be snapped up!

Zhou Tiankuo could only say, "Because the Pokémon game was only announced yesterday, we've decided to release the figures three days later."

three days?

Some players looked at him indignantly: "Three days after three days, how many more three days can we wait for you!"

"The new game won't be released for another two or three days..."

"Tiankuo Studio, you've caused me so much suffering."

However, the players were clearly just joking when they criticized Zhou Tiankuo, and soon they went to play Pokémon games or go outside to play with their laughter.

Zhou Tiankuo and his team sold half of their thousand figurines in just one morning.

The most popular item was undoubtedly the sunflower, which sold out within two hours of the experience center opening!

Many people bought several.

It's meant to be given to someone else.

Mu Yining offered, "Miss Xia Tian, ​​let's take stock together and then see which items need the most restocking."

"Finally, we'll tell the big boss all the results."

Xia Tian nodded.

Zhou Tiankuo smiled gratefully and was about to go to the office on the second floor when he suddenly saw an uninvited guest.

He was a man around thirty years old.

The man, wearing glasses, stood in the experience center looking around, but his actions didn't seem lewd; rather, they appeared to be him scrutinizing the center.

Zhou Tiankuo was quite surprised.

After yesterday, he had basically figured out the pattern.

In fact, the audience for my own game is quite limited.

Aside from Plants vs. Zombies, which briefly enjoyed popularity across all age groups, other games primarily attract young people.

As a novel concept, the experience center is mainly frequented by players around 20 years old.

Therefore, upon suddenly seeing a middle-aged man appear here, Zhou Tiankuo subconsciously walked over.

"This gentleman?"

Only after hearing Zhou Tiankuo's voice did the person turn around.

Their eyes met, and Zhou Tiankuo felt like he had seen him somewhere before...

"Are you...Teacher Zhou Yunpeng?" Zhou Tiankuo asked cautiously.

Zhou Yunpeng raised an eyebrow in surprise: "We've only met once, yet you still recognize me."

Aside from the fact that Tiankuo Studio won the award, the two of them had never met on the day he presented the award to him.

However, Zhou Yunpeng often saw photos of Zhou Tiankuo on other people's social media, so he was not unfamiliar with this young man who had opened a game studio.

Zhou Tiankuo said calmly, "I have a pretty deep impression of people."

But deep down, he had begun to have doubts.

What was Zhou Yunpeng doing at his experience center? Previously, all the supervision and other matters at Xingguang were handled by Xia Tian, ​​and it's said that the leaders, including Zhou Yunpeng, didn't care at all.

So Zhou Tiankuo’s first reaction was that this person who came to the experience center must have ill intentions!

"Good."

Zhou Yunpeng nodded slightly.

Zhou Tiankuo couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Zhou, is there something you need to do at the gymnasium today?"

The young man in front of him bluntly expressed his doubts, but Zhou Yunpeng calmly replied: "I was thinking that since Xingguang helped you set up the experience center, I wanted to see how it is. It's a kind of after-sales service. If you have any complaints, you can bring them up with me in person."

Zhou Tiankuo's inner thoughts: Holy crap.

He really is an old fox.

These few words, seemingly showing concern for the younger generation and seemingly wanting to hear his opinions, actually emphasize that the experience center is still thanks to Starlight!

Zhou Yunpeng also said, "It seems like he's quite popular now."

Zhou Tiankuo replied with a forced smile: "Because the games our studio produces are already quite popular."

He wanted to say that there were so many people in the stadium, and it had nothing to do with his star power.

Zhou Yunpeng's expression changed.

As the two confronted each other, Xia Tian noticed something was wrong and ran up to them, asking, "Teacher Zhou, what brings you here?"

Although this leader had always been very demanding of her, Xia Tian still had to respect him.

Zhou Yunpeng looked a little embarrassed: "I saw someone say that you came to work at Tiankuo Studio. It turns out it's true."

"Yes, a lot of people online know about this. I've told you before, but you just didn't notice." Xia Tian was quite frank about it.

Mu Yining, who followed, was stunned.

What kind of chaotic scene is this?

She only followed the gossip online.

Seeing Xia Tian's ex-boss and current boss in the same time and space up close still feels very strange.

Zhou Yunpeng cleared his throat: "I'm glad you're having fun here. I came here today to try out some of your studio's games. Do you have any recommendations?"

He had always wanted to figure out why Tiankuo Studio was so incredibly popular.

However, due to some kind of arrogance, he had always been too embarrassed to download Tiankuo Studio's games at home.

Now that he hears the experience center is packed every day, Zhou Yunpeng finally couldn't hold back any longer.

It was Starlight that helped him set up the experience center, so why don't they know how to thank him?

Xia Tian quickly said, "If Teacher Zhou wants to try a game, I recommend Plants vs. Zombies. It's my favorite game too."

"Moreover, a mini-game has a shorter playthrough. You can tell how well the game is designed after just a few levels."

Xia Tian is seriously making this recommendation.

Zhou Yunpeng nodded: "Okay, then could you please turn on a computer for me?"

Because he was the manager of Starlight, he didn't need to go through any formalities and just sat down in front of the computer.

Xia Tian turned on his computer and then helped him open Plants vs. Zombies.

"This game is really well designed. I think even the teacher would be impressed after playing it!" Xia Tian is a loyal fan of the Plants vs. Zombies game.

Zhou Tiankuo remained silent to the side.

In fact, he had already begun to look forward to it.

He could tell that Zhou Yunpeng still had some reservations about him.

This can be seen from the fact that Zhou Yunpeng has never appeared in public in previous matters.

But as long as you play his game seriously, Zhou Yunpeng will definitely be impressed and amazed!

Chapter 122 Stubborn on the surface, but secretly convinced

Zhou Yunpeng sat down.

Within minutes, he said, "The first two levels weren't difficult."

A fact that is neither praised nor criticized.

Zhou Tiankuo nodded: "For a game like this, the difficulty should naturally increase gradually. Players can't be unable to beat it from the very beginning."

Firstly, this game doesn't have a strict tutorial, so the first few levels are a process of getting used to it.

Crazy Dave will appear as an NPC to provide some guidance, but players still need to gradually figure out how to play the game in the first few levels.

Secondly, if the game is set too difficult from the beginning, many players will give up because they can't get into it at the start.

Only a very small number of players who enjoy torturing themselves will persevere and keep going.

People need to experience a sense of accomplishment to have the motivation to move forward.

Zhou Yunpeng was actually already captivated by the game, but on the surface, he pursed his lips and replied arrogantly, "Let me play a little longer... I can't sit here and play this game all afternoon."

Zhou Tiankuo smiled but remained silent.

The reason why the game Plants vs. Zombies is so popular is because of its cleverly designed difficulty level.

Zhou Yunpeng had only sat down and played two levels when he started the third, and he had already noticed the ingenuity of the game.

He couldn't help but silently admire Zhou Tiankuo's skill in making games!

The first two levels are very simple, but from the perspective of a professional, the difficulty does increase progressively.

Xia Tian, ​​Zhou Tiankuo, and the others stood aside, quietly watching him play the game.

For a game designer like Zhou Yunpeng, who has been in the industry for ten years, playing two or three levels is enough to reveal a lot.

Even from the very first screen of the game, he could sense Zhou Tiankuo's dedication in designing the game, but he didn't say anything at first.

After a while, Zhou Yunpeng calmly placed the last Peashooter.

After finishing this level, he returned to the main interface and looked at the encyclopedia he had just developed. He asked Zhou Tiankuo, "Did you design all these plants, zombie types, and so on by yourself?"

Zhou Tiankuo nodded.
