"I will never drink again, this head hurts too much."

Chen Xu rubbed his head and complained while sitting up from the bed.

After rubbing his eyelids that were still a little sticky, Chen Xu was stunned when he opened his eyes.

Because the environment in front of him was extremely unfamiliar to him.

"Wait, here..."

The next moment, before Chen Xu could figure out what happened, countless memories emerged from his mind.

drink a glass of red wine

After about an hour, Chen Xu sorted out the memories in his mind.

It is obvious that in his previous life as an ordinary game planner, he not only traveled across time, but also traveled to a parallel world.

According to the memories in my mind, I don't know which node caused the problem in this world. In short, it is completely different from Chen Xu's previous life.

All walks of life have undergone tremendous changes due to the advancement of technology.

However, Chen Xu couldn't tell how big it was. What really gave Chen Xu the most intuitive feeling was the game entertainment industry.

After the war, the world ushered in peace, and with the explosion of science and technology, there was basically no problem in the previous life where people could not afford to eat enough or could not afford medical treatment.

The economic recovery is extremely fast, people are not worried about survival, and there is money in their pockets, so the entertainment industry has naturally become the main direction of development.

The gaming industry belongs to it. For a long time in previous lives, gaming was treated as a scourge and a scapegoat.

Needless to say, it goes without saying at home, but it is also true abroad. Why do shootings happen so frequently? Because the game promotes violence! So supermarkets cannot remove guns from their shelves. We must remove the source of shootings: games!

But it's different in the parallel world. Excellent games can be called art, and top game designers also have the same social status as literary giants.

But at the same time, this world is a little different from Chen Xu's previous life.

In the gaming field, game manufacturers such as Ubisoft and EA disappeared, replaced by others that Chen Xu had never heard of.

As for the famous game producers from the previous life, there are none in this world.

Hidetaka Miyazaki who founded the Souls series resigned from Oracle and joined FS, Masahiro Sakurai who simplified the hardcore platforming game and created a legendary Nintendo series, Sid Meier who defined 4X games, and Hironobu Sakaguchi, the founder of the FF series. , the Hauser brothers who pushed the concept of 3D open world to its peak, Hideo Kojima who created stealth games and cinematic narrative games, and Shigeru Miyamoto, a video game hall-level producer.

These producers who had left a glorious name in the gaming industry in their previous lives have disappeared from this world.

Chen Xu himself is an ordinary student who has just graduated less than half a year ago and wants to join the comics industry.

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

Recalling some memories in his mind, plus some information he consulted on the computer, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh.

Strict laws and copyright protection for cultural products were simply unimaginable in previous lives.

"Illustration?"

After learning some basic information about the world through memory and the Internet, Chen Xu also noticed some drawing papers on the table.

The above are some illustrations I drew before.

After graduating before time travel, the original person always wanted to become a cartoonist.

However, it is a pity that although the article has been submitted many times, it has never passed the review of the editor.

As for the serialization of some comics on the Internet, it is a pity that they are not very popular.

In addition to earning royalties from online comic strips, I also draw character illustrations for some novel authors and make concept drawings for some game companies.

He is not well-known, and his painting skills are not top-notch. They depend on different needs.

Generally speaking, the price quoted for a painting is only about 1,200, and it needs to be revised repeatedly when things happen.

"Comics? We don't understand this stuff either!" Chen Xu couldn't help but pursed his lips as he recalled the memories in his mind.

Although the memory of the original work in his mind allowed Chen Xu to understand various painting techniques, it was useless.

After all, I used to work as an outsourced illustration artist to support my living expenses.

As for the comics in his previous life, Chen Xu had heard of them all, including One Punch Man, One Piece, Death, Naruto, and Conan.

But if you look at it, I'm sorry.

He has only watched anime. Who knows how to draw those popular comics

"Looking at it this way, it feels like I'm going back to my roots in gaming, and the game development efficiency in this world is a bit high!" Chen Xu couldn't help but be speechless after learning about it.

Unlike previous generations where each game company developed its own game engine, although overseas this model is basically still the same, in China there are officially provided game engines.

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

But the most important point and the most basic point 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 and graphics are, if the code is not optimized well, the game can basically be judged to be a failure.

However, due to the development of IT technology in this world, artificial intelligence has also taken a prototype and been applied to all walks of life. Among them, games are the place that has been changed the most.

Mechanical commands and other codes are all implemented through the official game engine and artificial intelligence.

It completely eliminates the situation of killing a programmer to worship heaven in the previous life.

If you want to offer sacrifices to heaven, you usually plan to offer sacrifices to heaven.

Of course, convenience is convenience, but not every designer can use it unlimitedly.

After all, using artificial intelligence to build code requires huge calculations.

Therefore, each game designer has fixed resources every month according to different professional titles.

Of course, you can also set up the corresponding server yourself and perform separate calculations. You only need to pay the authorization fee.

But the price of setting up a server and daily maintenance is not cheap.

As for how to become a game designer, there are three methods.

One is to take the game department exam every summer, and if you pass it, you can get the title of game designer.

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

The last one is to create an independent game that is recognized by the player market, mainly to provide a way for ordinary game enthusiasts but not professional people.

The sales volume reaches 150,000, or the cumulative reviews are 5,000 and the player's praise is above 8.5.

It can be satisfied if any one of the conditions is met.

As for boosting sales and good reviews, it basically doesn't exist, because this is illegal, and there will be no good consequences if you are caught.

"It looks very formal, but at least it shouldn't be difficult for me to get the title of game designer." Looking at the information he learned, Chen Xu touched his chin and said to himself.

After all, he is not alone. Thousands of seniors in the game industry in his previous life are standing behind him.

At this stage, Chen Xu had never thought that large-scale games were lacking in capabilities, resources, and funds.

But for small independent games, Chen Xu is still relatively confident.

He knew all kinds of excellent independent games in his previous life.

After learning the relevant information about this world and reproducing it, Chen Xu's own ability is completely sufficient.

"Wait, what is this?"

Chen Xu, who was thinking about what was going to happen, suddenly noticed something.

There was a translucent blue ball-like mark on the back of his hand that looked like a birthmark.

Chen Xu rubbed his thumb on it, and suddenly a transparent UI pop-up window popped up.

"system?"

In an instant, two words popped into Chen Xu's mind.

Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem too much to give yourself a system after traveling through time, right

But, is this the name of this system

'Emotion collection system'

Looking at the golden UI interface that looked like a domestic web game in his previous life, Chen Xu fell into silence for a while.

It’s all fancy and doesn’t feel like a serious system.
