C1: Alternate Time,

Rubbing my head, I sat up from my bed while complaining.

"I'll never drink again. It hurts too much." this was my thought.

After rubbing my still-sticky eyelids, I was stunned when I opened my eyes.

Because the environment in front of me is unfamiliar. Have I been kidnapped? Another one of my new thoughts.

"Wait, here..."

Before I can figure out what happened? In the next moment, countless memories emerged in my mind.

It took about an hour or so for me to sort out the memories in my mind. But my body is stiff.

I see that in my past life, I was a game designer and I not only crossed but also crossed into a parallel world.

According to my new memories, this world is different from my previous life.

All walks of life have undergone great shifts with the advancement of technology.

However, I can't tell how big it is. What I want to check is the game industry. So where is my Peach-18X 36D? Let me check the info about this world.

After the war, the world has ushered in new stable peace, and with the emergence and advancement of new technology, there is no such thing as being hungry or curing illnesses like in my previous life.

The economic recovery was fast, and people were not worried about survival against food and illness, But what to do to pass the time and entertain their curious fulfilled souls, with enough money to spend the entertainment industry naturally became the main area of development and the game industry became an integral part.

For a long time in my past life, games were used as an escape but later on with the internet and Social media, there was some improvement in status. But in poorer countries, they still retain the tags of time and money squandering....needless to say in China, the same is true in foreign countries.

Why do shootings happen so frequently? What is the best way to stop it? I say~ shouldn't the gun shops be closed and toy guns be taken off the supermarket's shelves? But other people~ No, we want to take down the source of shootings: games! Because video games promote violence! What about Movies? Just one of the many weird topics of talk.

But in this world, it is different. Excellent games are called Art, and top game designers have the same status as literary geniuses and celebrities.

~ Yeah, Art is an Explosion.

But at the same time, this world is different from my previous life.

In the game field, game makers such as Ubisoft and EA disappeared, replaced by others that I had never heard of.

As for the famous game creators from the previous life, there is no one in this world.

Hidetaka Miyazaki, who created the Soul series, resigned from Oracle and entered From Software, creating his very own Genre.

Masahiro Sakurai, who simplified hardcore platforming and created the legendary Nintendo series;a

Sid Meier, who defined 4X strategy games, and

Hironobu Sakaguchi, the founder of the Final Fantasy series. Oh, Tina!

The Hauser brothers, who pushed the concept of a 3D open world to the peak,

Hideo Kojima, who created stealth and cinematic narrative games, and Shigeru Miyamoto who was a video game hall-of-fame producer.

These producers who have left a glorious mark in the game industry in their previous lives have disappeared from this world and I, Chen Xu, am an ordinary student who just graduated less than half a year ago and wants to join the comic industry.

"This world...is a paradise for cultural practitioners!"

Recalling some memories in my mind, coupled with some information I consulted on the computer, I couldn't help but sigh.

Strict laws, as well as copyright protection for cultural products, were unimaginable in my previous life. Where Internet Pirates run rampant!

"Illustration?"

Through memory and the internet, I learned some basic information about this world, and I also noticed some drawing papers on the table.

Above are some of the illustrations I drew before.

After graduating before crossing, the original body wanted to become a cartoonist.

However, a pity that although the script has been submitted many times, it has never passed the editor's review.

As for the serialization of some comics on the Internet, it is a pity that the reception has been lukewarm.

In addition to the royalties from comic series fees serialized on the Internet, I also need to draw character illustrations for some novel authors and make concept maps for some game companies as a freelance.

I am not the best and my skills are mediocre.

In general, the price per piece of a painting is only about 1200 yuan, and it has to be revised repeatedly with changing client requirements.

"Cartoons? I don't understand this stuff! My original self also has a little understanding" I recalled my memories and couldn't help but purse my lips.

After all, I do illustration freelancing to earn a living.

Although the memory of the original, made me understand various painting techniques, it was useless.

As for the comics in my previous life, I have read a lot of them. I know all about Big 3, One Punch Man, fairy tales, Hunter X Hunter, Demon Slayer, Jojo, and Conan.

But, sorry for raising your expectations.

I have only watched the anime, who knows how to draw these popular mangas?

"Looking at it, I feel like I'm going back to my old job, and yeah the game development efficiency in this world is a bit high!" I couldn't help but be stunned after learning about it.

Different from the game engines developed by various game companies for themselves and others in my previous life, although this model of development is still used overseas, there are officially provided game engines in China and overseas.

In addition, as we all know, game production covers many aspects, such as numerical value, Art, plot, level design, and code.

But one of the most important, and fundamental, aspects is the code.

It is directly related to the performance of your game and is equivalent to the skeleton.

No matter how good the gameplay screen is, if the code and other optimizations are not good enough, it will determine the game's failure and success.

However, due to the development of IT technology in this world, artificial intelligence as a prototype and agent has been applied to all walks of life, among which games were the first and most changed places.

Some mechanism commands and other codes are implemented through the official game engine and artificial intelligence.

This completely put an end to the situation of overworking and overpaying a programmer.

Of course, this convenience is convenient, but not every designer can use it infinitely.

After all, using artificial intelligence to build command code and optimization requires huge calculations that need a large amount of money.

Therefore, each game designer has a fixed amount of resources every month according to different job titles and subscriptions.

Of course, you can also set up a new server yourself to perform separate optimization, and develop codes, and you only need to pay the licensing fee for base models and their uses.

It's just that the price of setting up a server and daily maintenance is not cheap.

As for how to become a game designer, this world has three methods.

One is to participate in the examination of the game department every summer, and if you pass the exam, you get the title of game designer.

Another way is to enter a game company, get work experience for two or three years, then apply through the company's channels, and report to the game department to become an official game designer.

The last one is to make an independent game (indie developer route) that is recognized by the player market. Mainly to provide a way for ordinary game lovers, professionals, and other enthusiasts.

There are a few requirements for your game, though. You need to achieve one of the following:

1. The sales volume must reach 150,000,

2. The cumulative evaluation of 5,000 peoples

3. Or getting a review score of 8.5 out of 10 after the locked-in period

Satisfy any one of the conditions and you are the new certified game developer.

As for brushing some sales and praise ~ frauding, there is no such thing, because it's an illegal act, and if you are caught, your application and future application will be revoked indefinitely. Who would want a national BAN?

"It looks formal, but at least it shouldn't be difficult for me to get the title of game designer." Looking at the information I learned, I touched my chin and said to myself.

After all, I am not alone. I am still standing on the shoulders of those giants from my previous world.

At this stage, let's forget about large-scale games. I lack in all aspects of ability, reputation, channel, resources, and funds.

But for the small, independent game. I am confident in this one.

I knew all kinds of excellent independent games from my previous life.

After learning the relevant information about this world. I know my ability is also sufficient.

"Wait, what is this?"

Chen Xu, who was still thinking about the next thing, suddenly noticed something.

That is, on the back of my hand there is a translucent blue sphere like a birthmark. Not on the hip. Weird

I rubbed the mark with my other thumb, and suddenly a UI with a golden theme pop-up window popped out like those ads on the news and sports website from my past life.

"System?" Weird~ it is golden.

In an instant, two words popped out in my mind.

Thinking about it again, it doesn't seem like it's too much to have a system after passing through.

But, what is the name of my system?

'Emotion Gathering System'... Silence

Looking at the golden UI interface like a homemade web game from my previous life, I fell into a hush silence for a while.

There are bells and whistles, and it feels like it's not some serious deal.
