The losses from Moyu Internet Café gave Pei Qian some reassurance.

Both “Pei’s Daily Life” and “Game Producer” were showing vague signs of turning into disasters.

If something went wrong with Moyu Internet Café as well, Pei Qian’s heart truly wouldn’t be able to take it.

Fortunately, Ma Yang never disappointed!

Pei Qian calmed down a bit.

Now, what worried him most was still “Game Producer.”

The continued losses at the internet café, although 300,000 yuan a month seemed like a lot, could only be considered the icing on the cake, not the decisive blow.

As for “Pei’s Daily Life,”… Pei Qian’s only hope for it was that it wouldn’t become profitable.

“I must continue to monitor ‘Game Producer’ closely, absolutely cannot allow any more unexpected issues!”

“I have to learn from the lessons of ‘Sea Fortress’ last time.”

“Before, I didn’t play ‘Sea Fortress’ in depth, just saw the story mode, saw the 888 Fire Kylin, and thought it was a sure thing. But the result was completely different!”

“This time, I must run through it from beginning to end!”

Thinking of this, Pei Qian felt a bit depressed.

People say that money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat.

But for me, why is it so difficult to lose some money?!

…

March 25th.

“Game Producer” was officially completed and entered the subsequent optimization and bug-fixing stage.

Pei Qian specifically requested the latest version of the game from the development team, installed it on his computer, and started from the beginning!

Although he was familiar with all the choices and endings, Pei Qian still wanted to experience the whole game.

The release date for the game was set for April 1st.

Releasing on April Fools’ Day, that’s how willful they were!

If Pei Qian discovered anything in the game before April 1st that might cause it to go viral, then, with less than a week, he could still rush to make some modifications.

As for promotion…

Pei Qian had given up struggling.

Unlike the previous two times, Tenda was now a somewhat famous game company.

Especially with the reputation of “The Ghost General” and “Sea Fortress,” Tenda had accumulated quite a bit of popularity.

So far, all of Tenda’s games have been released on the official game platform, and once “Game Producer” was released, players from “The Ghost General” and “Sea Fortress” would come to play!

Under these circumstances, whether promoted or not, the impact on “Game Producer” wouldn’t be significant.

The key still depended on the game itself.

Pei Qian had created so much content mocking players, and that was his greatest confidence!

Pei Qian began to run through the game from the beginning.

Every node, every ending, every line of narration, he savored carefully.

“…Lü Mingliang’s voice acting is surprisingly good? How did he manage to create such a despicable and annoying voice?”

“So boring.”

“It’s not fun to play through.”

“And this narrator keeps mocking me. I wonder if I could beat up Lü Mingliang now to vent…”

“How much longer until I finish…”

“Hang in there…”

Pei Qian felt a bit mentally disoriented; “Game Producer” had an extremely discouraging effect on him.

Although the game’s artistic style was unique, with Ruan Guangjian personally handling the concept art design, for Pei Qian, it was completely tasteless.

Why?

Because all the choices, all the narration, were written by Pei Qian himself!

Walking into a room, facing N choices.

For players, what lay behind each door, each choice, was completely unknown.

But for Pei Qian, he knew exactly what would happen next.

With a 100% spoiler aura, how could the game be enjoyable?

It was like watching a detective drama while already knowing who the killer was and what the outcome would be; the excitement of the process would naturally be greatly diminished.

So, Pei Qian reluctantly ran through the entire game process, experienced several endings, and reached a conclusion.

Boring as hell!

The game had no special gameplay mechanics, just controlling a character running around from one room to another.

Each time you reach a new room, you can only look at the room’s layout and listen to the narration mocking you in various ways.

Besides that, there were no other gameplay elements at all!

“Hmm, not bad, this game is made to a high standard.”

“It seems that I need to personally take charge of things to be stable!”

Pei Qian felt relieved. From what he could see so far, there was nothing in the game that needed changing. Once released, it would flop, and he could just wait for the money to be lost!

…

…

Meanwhile, other people in the company were also busy.

The first official task assigned to Ma Yiqun, who had formally joined the company, was to play the game “Game Producer”!

But it was just for experience.

Lü Mingliang wanted Ma Yiqun to observe and learn more, but had no intention of letting him provide any opinions or suggestions, let alone participate in modifying the game.

“This company… is special indeed.”

Ma Yiqun couldn’t help but sigh.

Superior office conditions, harmonious work atmosphere, salary and benefits far above the industry standard…

Ma Yiqun had heard about all these from his good friend Huang Sibo, so he wasn’t too surprised.

What surprised him was the company’s work style!

He still remembered the scene on his first day at Shangyang Games.

Just after joining, before his bottom even warmed the seat, Executive Planner Old Liu directly threw a bunch of game copy packages at him to do.

No guidance, no handover.

The requirements were vague, the standards ambiguous.

Except for the deadline, everything else depended on Ma Yiqun’s interpretation.

In short, come and work immediately!

But at Tenda, it was completely different.

Coming here, no work was assigned at all, just six words: Watch carefully, learn thoroughly!

Want to quickly get into the work state?

Sorry, no such luck.

“Indeed, is this the difference in perspective?”

“At Shangyang Games, they do work with no technical content, so even a novice like me can quickly get started. Recruiting new people is completely like using them as brick carriers.”

“While at Tenda, they do design work that requires a very high level of skill, so newcomers can only learn! And this learning process will continue for a long time…”

“Ah, it feels like I’m back in high school, so nervous, so much pressure.”

Ma Yiqun couldn’t help but admire Tenda even more.

After running through “Game Producer” once, Ma Yiqun felt it was very special.

This kind of game, he had never seen before!

It didn’t seem to belong to any common game type on the market. If it were at the Shangyang Games, the boss would have killed the project.

No precedent, too risky, they definitely wouldn’t invest money to make it!

But at Tenda, this kind of thing seemed commonplace.

The boss led innovation, and employees cooperated seamlessly!

This level of tacit understanding probably couldn’t be formed in a short period.

At Shangyang Games, Ma Yiqun often heard conversations like “Is there a successful precedent?”, “Which game should we copy?”, “Are there enough payment points?”, and so on.

At Tenda, he had never heard such things.

It was as if everyone was working towards the same goal with remarkable tacit understanding.

In short, four words: impressive though incomprehensible.

Ma Yiqun deeply felt that he still had too much to learn.

“No wonder they don’t give me work to do, my abilities are far too inadequate!”

“I must study hard, contemplate well, and strive to catch up with Tenda and Mr. Pei’s thinking as soon as possible!”

Ma Yiqun secretly made up his mind.
