Chapter 460 Why Is This Game so Difficult?

This senior is called Shi Donghui, and now he has opened a medium-sized game company in Ancheng.

Nowadays, smartphones have become popular. Shi Donghui stepped on the trend of mobile games back then, which led to his current career.

But if you want to go further, it will be a bit difficult.

The games developed by Shi Donghui's company are not the kind of popular games, and they are not phenomenal. In addition, the mobile game industry is also very competitive nowadays. Several projects developed by Shi Donghui later ended in failure.

The entire company now relies on several old games of the company.

Today, Shi Donghui is writing a new game plan on the computer.

He is going to make a game of Candy Crush. Although there are similar products on the market, the model of Candy Crush is enduring.

The disadvantage is that it is a bit difficult to make money. Games like Candy Crush are originally casual games. Everyone can play anyone's game. There is no need to play yours.

Shi Donghui is too anxious now. He knows that there are some problems with this project, but he can only bite the bullet and do it.

At this time, his mobile phone rang, and it showed an unfamiliar number.

Shi Donghui put down his work and picked up the phone.

He guessed that it was another loan company calling him.

Ever since he downloaded a loan software and browsed it, these calls have never stopped.

Just as he was about to hang up, the person on the other end of the phone said, "Hello, Senior Shi, I'm Xu Ye."

Shi Donghui was stunned for a moment, then he remembered.

This morning, Ma Qiang called him and said that the big star Xu Ye was looking for a game company.

Xu Ye's name is too famous now. There are many Xu Ye's songs in Shi Donghui's playlist. His personal favorite is "Old Boy".

Shi Donghui was quite confused. What could a big star ask him to do?

The entertainment circle and the game production circle are not the same circle.

Not to mention asking Xu Ye to endorse them, even if Shi Donghui was sold, they couldn't afford Xu Ye.

In reality, this is Shi Donghui's first contact with a star, and there is a different feeling.

I just always feel that something is wrong in the sentence just now.

"Hello, Xu Ye. Teacher Ma has already told me about it." Shi Donghui said with a smile.

"Senior Shi, that may take up some of your time. Are you free now?" Xu Ye asked.

Shi Donghui said, "I am free. Just tell me if you have anything."

He muttered to himself, "Xu Ye is different from the rumors on the Internet. This is quite normal and there is nothing wrong with him."

Normal people don't communicate like this. Xu Ye's tone of voice is also normal and polite.

In Shi Donghui's impression, big stars of this level have a lot of pomp and circumstance.

"Xu Ye is indeed a good star." Shi Donghui made an evaluation in his heart.

Xu Ye's voice came from the phone.

"Senior Shi, then I will speak directly."

Shi Donghui said, "Please speak."

"Senior Shi, it's like this. I have a few game ideas and I would like to ask your company to help me make them."

When Shi Donghui heard this, his excitement subsided.

His ears were calloused from hearing such words.

Just among the employees in the company, every day someone says that they have come up with a great game idea.

But in the end, after everyone held a meeting to discuss it, they all rejected it.

There are even some ideas that the people who came up with them rejected after they calmed down.

In this creative industry, there are too many ideas, and the key is to be able to transform the ideas into products.

Shi Donghui didn't want to discourage Xu Ye's enthusiasm, so he asked: "What ideas, tell me?"

"Senior Shi..."

As soon as Xu Ye said the name, Shi Donghui finally realized that something was wrong.

Why do you have to call me Senior Shi every time you open your mouth?

Senior Shi sounds like a taste!

You kid definitely did it on purpose!

Shi Donghui was speechless, he finally understood that Xu Ye was really sick!

Shi Donghui interrupted Xu Ye directly: "In fact, you don't have to call me senior every time."

"Okay, Senior Shi." Xu Ye said.

Shi Donghui was more convinced after hearing this, Xu Ye did it on purpose!

On the other end of the phone, Xu Ye stopped calling him Senior Shi and went straight to the point.

"I've asked my friend to make one of the ideas into a game. Why don't I send it to you first and have a try?" Xu Ye asked.

The game he was going to send to Shi Donghui was a game called "Sheep Sheep" that was kept in his system warehouse.

This game was criticized by netizens on Earth because of the special period at that time and the second level that was almost impossible to pass.

This game mode is also destined to be short-lived and cannot last long.

However, as a tormenting little game, this game is definitely worthy of its name.

Xu Ye had never had a suitable opportunity to release this game before. This time, he happened to be connected with Shi Donghui, and "Never Expected" was going to be promoted, so he simply released this game.

The release of games must be handed over to the game company.

Shi Donghui was surprised and said, "It's already been made?"

He really didn't expect Xu Ye to be so efficient.

"If you want to turn an idea into a game, it's not something that can be done by just one friend. You probably have to pay someone to do it. It's really good to have money." Shi Donghui sighed.

He could probably guess that it was definitely not a big production, probably just a small casual game.

Xu Ye couldn't handle a big production game.

After the two added each other as friends, Xu Ye directly sent the software installation package of "Sheep Goat" to Shi Donghui.

On Earth, "Sheep Goat" is a small program game, and it is connected to the Internet.

Xu Ye used the system to generate a stand-alone version of the installation package.

After receiving the installation package, Shi Donghui immediately chose to install it.

"The installation package is only a few dozen MB, it seems to be a small casual game."

Shi Donghui waited quietly.

The game was installed quickly.

There was an icon with a sheep on the desktop of Shi Donghui's mobile phone, and the name of the game was written below, "Sheep Goat".

"This game name is very strange."

Shi Donghui clicked on the icon, and the loading speed was very fast. After a few seconds, he entered the game interface.

The game interface is a green lawn with four sheep circling on the lawn.

The name of the game is on the top, and a "Start Game" button is below.

The interface of the entire game can be said to be very simple.

Shi Donghui clicked to start the game.

In the picture, a group of sheep ran across the screen, and when the sheep ran across, they entered the first level.

"This transition design is quite interesting." Shi Donghui commented.

The appearance of the first level was also presented in front of him.

There were nine pairs of small squares overlapping each other, with patterns of grass, carrots or corn painted on the small squares.

And there was an empty slot at the bottom.

Shi Donghui clicked on one of the small squares, and the small square entered the empty slot below.

Then he clicked on two small squares with the same pattern. When three identical small squares were collected in the empty slot, the three small squares disappeared together.

In an instant, Shi Donghui understood the gameplay of this game.

"Isn't this just Candy Crush? It looks much more interesting than the old version of Candy Crush!"

Shi Donghui has never seen this elimination method on the market.

"This idea was actually thought up by Xu Ye, great!"

Shi Donghui now feels that the plan on his computer is a piece of shit. Compared with the Candy Crush he is playing now, it is simply meaningless.

Shi Donghui is also in the mood to play. He plans to play a few more levels to see what this game is all about.

"The whole mode is probably the same as other Candy Crush games. It gradually increases the difficulty. The later the levels, the more difficult it will be."

Shi Donghui thought while clicking on the screen.

The first level can be said to be not difficult at all. You can eliminate it by just clicking.

Soon, Shi Donghui eliminated the last group of small blocks.

The screen changed, and a new level appeared on the screen.

After seeing this new level, Shi Donghui almost vomited blood.

"Fuck, you call this the second level?"

The first level has only 18 blocks in total, but the blocks in the second level are so dense and stacked that they almost cover the entire screen.

At this moment, a prompt box popped up on the screen.

[Difficulty soars! 】

After seeing this prompt box, Shi Donghui's unwillingness to admit defeat also came up.

"I, Shi Donghui, a senior game practitioner, can't pass the second level of a Candy Crush? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Candy Crush is just a Candy Crush, how difficult can it be?

Shi Donghui didn't rush this time, but stared at these small blocks and analyzed them.

"It looks a lot, but it's not difficult. The small blocks in the previous level were stacked in two layers. In this level, the most stacked are the blocks in the lower left and lower right corners. The blocks in other places are stacked at most three layers. It's actually very simple to eliminate the blocks you can see."

With this idea, Shi Donghui started playing.

The background music of this game is "Ordinary Disco" sung by Xu Ye before.

Accompanied by the music, a few minutes later, Shi Donghui finally clicked on the last block he saw.

"After this block is eliminated, there must be nothing below!"

However, when he clicked to eliminate, there was actually another block below this block.

"Ah?!"

Shi Donghui was confused.

Good man, aren't all blocks stacked in a misplaced manner? How come your block is not in the right place!

How could anyone know there was a block underneath you if you put it like this!

"Don't panic, don't panic. There is still a chance. This is the only way to have fun."

Shi Donghui continued to play.

After a few minutes, Shi Donghui shouted, "Damn! Why is there still one underneath!"

At this time, Shi Donghui was gradually getting drunk on the disco music.

Fortunately, the game version that Xu Ye sent him allowed unlimited use of game props.

Shi Donghui had used the three game props countless times, but he found that the hope of passing the game was getting farther and farther away from him.

"I can't get through it at all! Who the hell made this game!"

After failing again and again, Shi Donghui roared unwillingly.

The sound even spread from his office to the employees' workstations outside, and a group of employees looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What's wrong with the boss?"

"I don't know, is he playing games?"

"The boss is really good at playing games, is there any game he can't pass?"

A few minutes later, Shi Donghui started again.

He didn't believe in evil.

Before he knew it, an hour had passed.

Finally, Shi Donghui passed the second level.

There was a layer of sweat on his forehead, but his eyes were still fixed on the screen of his mobile phone.

A new prompt was displayed on the screen.

"You have passed the level."

When the prompt box disappeared, the game returned to the main interface.

Shi Donghui's mind was full of question marks.

"That's it?"

In order to pass the second level, he didn't know how many times he had repeated it and how many props he had used.

The result of passing the level was like this?

You know, in game design, if a level is difficult, the player should feel a sense of accomplishment after passing it.

This game itself is outrageous. The first level is at the level of kindergarten, and the second level directly becomes the level of college students.

This is not playing the game, but being played by the game.

As a result, the second level, which is so difficult, was passed, and the game didn't give any feedback.

"This is not a game that a normal person can think of. It's really Xu Ye!"

Shi Donghui took a sip of water and started thinking after a while.

Despite the criticism, the design of this game is still good.

The interface of the whole game is very refreshing, the key points are also very prominent, and it is not difficult to get started.

The payment point is also very obvious, which is the use of props in the game.

Shi Donghui dares to guarantee that if he shamelessly maxes out the payment points, he will definitely make a lot of money.

"This was actually thought up by Xu Ye?"

Shi Donghui immediately respected Xu Ye.

You are a star in the entertainment industry, and now you want to steal our game company's job?

Thinking of this, Shi Donghui called Xu Ye.

"Xu Ye, I'm done with the game. Do you want to sell the game to us, or do you plan to go for a cooperative model?"

Shi Donghui is ready to have a good chat with Xu Ye about the details of the cooperation.

He doesn't plan to make the Candy Crush game in his hand, which is far inferior to "Sheep Goat".

"Senior Shi, this is it, I'll give this game to you, and I don't want any money. I have two game ideas that need you to help me make. We will go for a cooperative profit-sharing model for these two games."

Shi Donghui didn't underestimate Xu Ye's ideas this time.

After Xu Ye finished talking to him on the phone, Shi Donghui's eyes were already bright.

The ideas of these two games are very good, and they can definitely make a lot of money, and it is a continuous income.

At the end, Shi Donghui asked: "The difficulty of the second level of Sheep Sheep, there is no need to make it so difficult."

"It has to be so difficult. This game does not need so many levels. There are only two levels. The second level must be difficult." Xu Ye said.

He said difficult, not like the kind on Earth that can't be passed at all.

This can be adjusted in the program behind the game.

After all, Xu Ye doesn't need to make money for him with this game, and this kind of game is destined to be popular for a while, just as a warm-up for the other two games.

Xu Ye and Shi Donghui communicated for a long time before they determined the specific details of the cooperation.

This kind of pure money-making business, Shi Donghui can't not do it, he just needs to make the game, and give Xu Ye a share of the subsequent profits, Xu Ye also gave him a small game for free.

"Xu Ye is such a good man." Shi Donghui sighed.

He asked, "Xu Ye, do you want to put your name on the sheep?"

Xu Ye immediately said, "That's not necessary, just put your company name."

Shi Donghui's company also wants to move this game to the mini program, which is also Xu Ye's suggestion. Shi Donghui thinks it is quite reliable.

By moving it to the mini program, with the help of the users of Penguin Chat Software, there will definitely be more game users. This kind of small game does not take up memory and is convenient to play.

"Okay, then don't put your name on it. I'll ask someone to draft a contract. Let's sign it when it's done." Shi Donghui said with a smile.

Xu Ye gave Shi Donghui two game ideas, one is "Temple Run" that has appeared on Earth, and the other is "Plants vs. Zombies".

Even now, these two games still have a lot of users.

And these two games also have a linkage in "Never Expected".

The next day, Xu Ye and Shi Donghui's company signed the contract.

At this time, Xu Ye was in a film and television base.

Today, the crew of "Never Expected" filmed the last scene.

This scene is also a more touching episode in "Never Expected".

The name of this episode is "Goodbye, Kingdom of Daughters".
