Game Design: Who Rated My Games as Very Easy? - Chapter 1
Chapter 1: So You All Think The Game I Made is Very Easy?
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
[Rating: Very Easy]
…
Ye Feng sat in front of the computer, looking at the results of the game’s difficulty level. In the end, all of the results were: very easy.
He had transmigrated and found himself sitting in front of a computer screen in a daze.
In his previous life, he was a veteran game designer with a net worth of over a hundred million! Originally, he was enjoying the waves and beautiful women on the sea, but on a stormy night, he was directly overturned by a wave and drowned in the endless waves.
It took him half an hour to accept the fact that he had transmigrated.
He looked at the original owner’s memory. If Blue Planet was the world from the Ninth Art explosion, then this place was simply a desert for games!
All those games from his past life were nonexistent here!
He thought of Hollow Knight, Sekiro, Dark Souls, Dead Space… The more he thought about it, the more his body trembled uncontrollably. Any one of them could easily beat this side, okay?
Very easy? Ye Feng looked at the feedback he had just received and thought, “So you all think it’s very easy, huh!?”
[Ding!Game Creation System unlocked: Our goal is to be super difficult!]
[Obtained the ability to create games by gaining super difficulty from survey results!]
[Obtained Super Difficulty 0/1000]
[Upgrade Reward: Holographic Projection Technique]
Ye Feng let out a heavy breath. As a transmigrator, even without a system, he could still play games. But with a system, wouldn’t he thrive in this different world?
“So what if it’s easy? The games I create also end up like this. I’m used to it. As long as I pass, it’s good enough.”
The person who spoke next to him was called Song Shan. Like the original owner, he was also a game design student.
Not long ago, the professional teacher had given him an assignment:
[Create and upload a game, and the students will be graded based on the download count and scores from the online community.]
60 points long live, 61 points wasted. Almost everyone had this mindset. It was good that he passed.
“Watch me make another game for them. This time, let’s see who dares to say it’s very easy!” Ye Feng immediately opened the game production platform, and in an instant, a game that could drive people insane appeared in his mind.
[Get over it: Digging for Ascension]
This game had driven countless players crazy in his previous life, and it was also known as the Roar Simulator by players.
He quietly opened the game editor on his computer again.
This world had a very convenient game architecture platform that provided countless free and paid game creation materials. Other than that, there were some simple physics engines, free music, basic game logic, and other things.
The intention of this world wanted the game to develop vigorously, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t help it. The skill trees were all used for technology, and the game aspect was heavily biased. Despite having abundant resources, they couldn’t produce anything remarkable.
“What are you planning to do this time?” Song Shan stood behind Ye Feng.
“Something very simple.” Ye Feng quickly scrolled through the free materials in the editor, and soon, a barrel, a bald man, and a hammer appeared on the screen.
The three pictures were simply pieced together to form a very funny picture. A small figure sitting naked in a barrel, holding a hammer in his hand. The movements of his arms were also a little mechanical and looked very funny.
“What kind of monster is this?” Song Shan stood behind him and asked curiously.
“This is the main character of the game.” Ye Feng remained composed. This little figure sitting in the barrel was the source of suffering for all game streamers on Blue Planet at a certain time. As long as they heard his name and saw that hammer, their expressions would start to twist uncontrollably.
After dealing with the character model, he began to edit the map. The map of “Get over it: Digging for Ascension” looked simple and crude, like a low-quality sticker sewn together, but all the levels were carefully designed. Any mistake in any location on the map would send the player back to the starting point.
In just one afternoon, he finished the game. Then, he held the microphone and began to input endless background narration. A series of witty remarks were aimed at attacking the person’s mentality from the beginning to the end.
Song Shan, who had been watching him play the game, heard what he said and looked at Ye Feng as if he was a monster.
This narration! Was this person really not afraid of being beaten up?
He was just lying flat!
“Cough, it’s finally over.” Ye Feng took a cup of water from the side, and a series of voice messages made his mouth dry.
He opened the YoGame game platform and directly chose to upload the platform’s client.
“So you all think the game I made is very easy?”
When Ye Feng sent the game notification, Song Shan’s eyes widened. He felt that Ye Feng must have lost his mind. Everything Ye Feng had done that afternoon was either seeking to be beaten or on the verge of seeking to be beaten.
The character modeling was insincere, the map construction was hasty, the background music was full of mocking words, and now, the game’s push message was filled with provocative words!
“It’s done. Let’s go, my treat at the cafeteria to celebrate!” Ye Feng grabbed Song Shan’s shoulder. Feeling the energy of his youth, it would be a lie to say he wasn’t happy.
At the moment he closed the door of the dormitory, he glanced at the computer that had already been shut down.
From now on, I’m here with the gaming empire!
It had to be said that Ye Feng’s push message had a huge effect, the game had just been released and it attracted a lot of people’s attention. This was because the graduation season was approaching, and many game design students would upload their games on the platform. If the feedback was good, they might have a chance to enter a good company during campus recruitment.
At this time every year, it was also a time for streamers and internet users to have fun. Because Animation and Game Design were called the two entertainment majors by internet users, the student’s graduation projects were also strange.
They were also happy to give these games corresponding ratings.
Brother Yin was a live streamer on Shark Platform. As the top gamer, he was extremely popular every time he streamed. Recently, he was even more interested in reviewing the games he designed for graduation.
Those games were full of flaws and provided excellent material for his entertaining broadcasts.
After every review, he would kindly write a few words in the game’s comment section.
[Very Easy]
While playing another game, he had already received a notification from his fans in the streaming room that a game called “Get over it: Digging for Ascension” had gone online.
“I bet he’s aiming for me with this game’s push message!” Brother Yin looked at the game and immediately cursed with a smile. Who didn’t know that Brother Yin had the habit of writing ‘very easy’ to people?
But this time, it really wasn’t.
The original owner might know who Brother Yin was, but he didn’t pay much attention to it, and naturally, Ye Feng, who transmigrated, wouldn’t organize that part of the memory.
“Damn, he still has the nerve to set the price at ten yuan? This character, this modeling! One yuan is more than enough!” Brother Yin sneered. He stretched out his palm and placed it in front of him. “Brothers, we are absolutely fair and just.”
“Watch me play it and give him a sharp critique. Very—easy!”
