I play games in Zongman World

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu could tell that Yichen wanted to set up a studio, but felt that his strength was not enough, so he planned to make another wave.

She didn't know much about game development, so she didn't make random suggestions, but asked about the new game.

"Now Slaying the Spire only needs to be updated steadily, so do you have a plan for the next game?"

"Next game? Yes."

Yi Chen nodded with a smile, "I have several ideas, but I haven't decided yet, because the difficulty of development is much more difficult than the card battle game Slaying the Spire."

The Binding of Isaac, Dead Cells, Hollow Knight

The above three games are the game candidates that Yichen intends to develop.

Isaac is a roguelike-style dungeon exploration game, with a bird's-eye view, and the combat method is mainly barrage shooting. By obtaining different props, it can be combined into different styles of combat methods.

There is a mantra for playing Isaac, that is, the uglier the character, the more powerful it is. This is also related to Isaac’s art style, which has strong religious elements. The design of monsters and bosses also contains various elements of feces and fart. The same is true for the plot. It's pretty dark.

In Yichen's previous life, this game had a very long development and update cycle. It has gone through many iterations of versions, and the number of props has gradually increased. It can be said that it is a very time-killing game.

The rest of Dead Cells and Hollow Knight are action games. Dead Cells is a pixel-style roguelike action game, while Hollow Knight is a 2D Galaxy Castlevania action-adventure game.

The three games are all very playable, but they are also very difficult to produce.

For a while, Yi Chen had some bad choices.

Scratching his head, Yi Chen sighed: "A person's energy is limited. After making a game, I don't want to keep making the same type of game, but the ideas in my mind now are just art. It’s not something I can do alone.”

"Can you tell me? What type?"

"It's about action. There are a lot of design content in this area. Whether it's pixel style or 2D style, I can't easily handle it alone. Unlike Slaying the Spire, although there are requirements for art, they are not so high."

Stretching, Yi Chen leaned on the sofa and looked at the ceiling.

"Forget it, let's take it slowly. After all, you have to wait for the transition to the official version of Slaughter Spire before you can start thinking about the new game. Let's not talk about this, you go to the library, how is it?"

"not bad."

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu looked at Yi Chen's lazy movements, and said with a smile, "Show the editor the partially written manuscript, and she is quite satisfied, saying that I have made great progress."

As she said that, she looked at Yi Chen twice more.

Sensing Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's gaze, Yi Chen turned his head: "What's wrong?"

Shaking her head, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu didn't speak, but her ears under her long hair were slightly flushed.

When I was in the library before, the editor Machida Sonoko said that her description of the inner heart of the characters in the novel was more delicate, which made people feel immersed in it, and asked her if she was in love.

Naturally, there is no talk of love, but...

Chapter 27: An Excellent First Day

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu sat at Yi Chen's house for a while and then went back, because Yi Chen was about to start work, and it was not good for him to disturb her here.

After arriving home, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu also returned to her bedroom and turned on her laptop.

But after typing two lines, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu suddenly lost his motivation. After dawdling for a while, he chose to close the file, opened Steam, and found the game page of Slaying the Spire.

Although he knew that the sales volume of Yichen's game was gradually increasing, it can be said that he had achieved very good results on the first day, and he bought a copy himself, but Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu hadn't read the game's comment area carefully yet.

Pull down to the comment area, and after screening his own language, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu found that there are quite a lot of comments, which have already exceeded a hundred. You must know that Yi Chen has only found three anchors for the game of Slaying the Spire. Propaganda, the intensity of the propaganda is simply incomparable with his own country.

More than 100 reviews are basically all positive, some say the game is fun, some say the game is difficult.

After looking around, Kasumigaoka Shiyu finished browsing the comment area with a smile on her face, and opened the game by herself.

She used to play the beta version from Yi Chen, but now that the later version has been released, she hasn't played it yet.

"It's not difficult for me to start from scratch. Have a good time and then start writing novels."

After speaking, Kasumigaoka Shiyu threw himself into the game.

That night, besides making the third malfunctioning robot, Yi Chen took the time to log on to various domestic websites and watched the live broadcasts of those game anchors, as well as various videos.

At the prime time of the live broadcast at night, there are many more live streamers of Slaying the Spire along with the tap water in the forum, and there are both big and small streamers.

Although many people will choose to be a cloud player after seeing the game and watch the live broadcast for free to pass the level, but there are also many people who choose to buy it and try it out after seeing the price of the game.

Anyway, you can get a refund within two hours, as long as you haven't refunded frequently before, it's easy to get a refund if you don't like it.

So this night, the sales volume of Yichen's games has increased to a certain extent.

Switching back and forth between live broadcast rooms, Yi Chen said with a smile on his face: "As long as my next update is maintained well, then the sales and evaluation of the game don't have to worry too much."

Thinking of this, Yi Chen opened his account on station b and changed his original username.

YC Productions.

The studio with the initials of its own name is the same as the development name of the game on steam.

"Although I'm the only one now, the name of the studio can be established first, and it's not bad."

After finishing the name and writing the signature, Yi Chen closed the webpage and continued to work.

With this account, he plans to make and upload some video updates for the game in the future, but there is no rush now. After some progress has been made, he can find some up masters to help forward it.

........

the next day.

Yi Chen got up on time, exercised his body and had breakfast before going out early.

When he came out, he didn't see Xiazhiqiu Shiyu, and he didn't know whether he went out first or not.But he didn't go to the next door to ask. He went downstairs, got on his bicycle, and set off.

On the way to school, Yichen passed the intersection and remembered the car accident scene he saw here on the first day of school.

"The car accident at that time seemed to be mentioned at the school's opening ceremony. It seemed that it was indeed a freshman, and I don't know what happened to the other party's family."

Shaking his head, the green light just happened, and Yi Chen didn't think much about it, and continued to move forward.

As he approached the school gate, Yi Chen saw a yawning golden retriever with thick dark circles getting out of the car... Well, Ying Lili.

Get out of the car, push the bicycle to the side of Ying Lili, Yi Chen greeted: "Good morning, it seems that you have stayed up late?"

"what!"

Ying Lili was taken aback, and she became refreshed. She relaxed after seeing Yi Chen, "So it's you, good morning."

"Tsk tsk, those who don't know think I'm at the same level as you, obviously I'm a senior."

After complaining a bit, Yi Chen asked, "You're so sleepy, didn't you stay up late last night to play games? How is it? How's the progress?"

Ying Lili didn't make any excuses, and directly admitted: "Well, I stayed up late, and I cleared both characters, and the fighters beat the first step."

"Huh? Not bad, it seems to have improved."

Hearing Yi Chen's praise, Ying Lili raised her head triumphantly: "Hmph, who do you think I am, it's just such a simple game."

The smugness in her tone made those who didn't know how powerful she really was, but it was nothing more than the experience accumulated from all kinds of defeats.

However, Yi Chen didn't attack the opponent, after all, he had to let the opponent be the tester of his own game in the future.Although Ying Lili is a bit good at playing games, he has played a lot of games and can give some good suggestions.

Because there was a need to park the car, Yi Chen didn't talk much with the other party, and quickly turned around to the parking shed, and Ying Lili walked into the teaching building by herself.

As soon as he stepped in, his shoulders were held down by two girls from the same class.

"Sawamura-san, is that Senior Yichen from the second year of high school?"

"Yes yes yes, he is so handsome and tall. Seriously, boyfriend?"

"Oh?" Ying Lili was stunned for a moment, her face flushed instantly, "That's not true, I just met each other by coincidence!"

"real or fake?"

"Looking at your expression, Sawamura-san, I always feel that there is something wrong."

"How could there be any problem!" Ying Lili argued loudly, "That guy is in the same class as Kasumigaoka Shiwa, and I also know him because of Kasumigaoka Shiwa, it's not that kind of relationship. Well... really want to say If so, the relationship between those two guys is the problem."

Recalling the pictures she saw a few times before, no matter whether it was in school or outside school, Ying Lili fell into gossip thinking.

"Ugh?"

"Xiazhiqiu-senpai?"

The two girls looked at each other, and they were also very interested.

Although the gossip of her classmate Eiriri is very interesting, but they are more interested in the gossip of Kasumigaoka Shiwa, who is a well-known beautiful girl in the school!

Yi Chen didn't know that he was gossiped just now, so after parking his bicycle, he went upstairs and came to the classroom.

After saying good morning to a few classmates in the class, Yi Chen came to his seat and sat down.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu had already come to the school earlier, and before Yi Chen sat down and greeted him, he took the lead and said, "You came with Sawamura?"

"Well, yes, it just happened to happen."

Instinctively answered, Yi Chen was stunned, and turned to look at Xia Zhiqiu Shi Yu.

How did she know?

Chapter 28 Consequences of Game Addiction

I was sitting by the window, so I could indeed see the school gate outside, but Kasumigaoka Shiyu's seat was on my right, so I couldn't see it.

Facing Shang Yichen's gaze, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's face flushed slightly.

The corner of the mouth was raised, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu propped his chin with one hand, looked at Yi Chen and said: "What's the matter, it's impolite to look at a girl like that!"

Yi Chen rolled his eyes directly, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just happened to meet him just now, and seeing that guy Sawamura has dark circles under his eyes, I asked him if he stayed up all night playing games."

"Ah~~~ That's right."

Kasumi Hill Shiyu nodded thoughtfully.

With Ying Lili's personality, the game was released yesterday, and it is indeed possible to stay up late to play the game, and it is normal to have dark circles under the eyes.

Thinking of this, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's mood improved a little.

Looking at the classroom, there are not many students coming, so Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Yichen."

"Hmm, what's up?"

"Golden Week is coming soon, do you have time then?"

"Yeah, it's going to be a holiday soon."

Yi Chen thought of this matter belatedly, so he said, "Well... nothing to do, I will probably carry out the follow-up development of the game at home. What, do you have anything to do?"

"A little bit, is there something I need your help with?"

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu looked at Yi Chen with a smiling face, "Since you have nothing to do then, please spare a day."

Although he didn't know what Xiazhiqiu Shiyu needed his help for, Yi Chen still nodded and agreed.

"Okay, you can just find me when the time comes, I don't go out very much anyway."

Yi Chen agreed, which made Xiazhiqiu Shiyu feel better.

"Thank you."

After finishing speaking, I returned to my senses in a happy mood, not knowing what I was thinking.

As for Yi Chen, he took out his mobile phone, logged in to Station B, and checked the popularity of his game.

Thanks to the absence of card-based tower-climbing roguelike games in this world, the Slaying Spire created by Yi Chen has gained a lot of popularity in just two days after its release.

After looking around domestic websites and forums, Yi Chen logged on to several foreign live streaming sites, and also saw many game anchors live streaming his own games.

It seems that I made the right choice to release the English version from the very beginning, otherwise it would have lost a lot of global popularity.

I picked a few live broadcast rooms and watched them. These anchors played pretty well, but since the class was about to start, Yi Chen could only take a cursory glance and put down his phone.

At noon, neither Yi Chen nor Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu went to the activity room, but ate bento in the classroom.

After eating two mouthfuls, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu's cell phone rang.

She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Ying Lili, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Putting away the mobile phone, covering the bento and putting it back into the bag, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu looked at Yi Chen who was at the side and said, "Mr. Yi Chen, lend me the key for the event."

"Huh? The key?"

Yi Chen swallowed the food in his mouth, took out the key from his pocket and put it in Kasumigaoka Shiyu's hand, "Do you want to use the activity room?"

"It's not me, it's Eriri." Kasumigaoka Shiyu chuckled, "Didn't she stay up all night? She's so sleepy now, I want to borrow the activity room for a nap."

"Okay, let's use it." Naturally, Yi Chen would not refuse such a trivial matter, "But remember to lock the doors and windows for me before leaving, the wind is strong these days, and if the dust blows in, it will be very troublesome to clean .”

"No problem, I'll remember."
