"Qin Yi's rice is boiled, and you're still chopping vegetables!"

"Then what should I do? I promised you to wash the dishes, but there isn't even a plate that can hold them. What should I do if I don't cut the vegetables?"

"I'm furious!"

"I'm so angry!"

In the office of Nebula Games, Zhao Zhuo, who is responsible for level design, and Qin Yi, who is responsible for numerical values, had the following conversation.

This is the fourth case that occurred during testing after the game DEMO came out.

"Mr. Chen, is this game really for couples to promote relationship building?" Yang Xin looked at Chen Xu with a strange look.

Ruan Ningxue next to her didn't say anything, but she nodded her head like a woodpecker, which fully demonstrated that she and Yang Xin had the same idea.

"Ahem, of course not only couples, but also friendships and brothers can play this game." Chen Xu concluded seriously.

"The reason for this can only be said that Qin Yi and Zhao Zhuo are more competitive." Chen Xu added.

"Something feels wrong." Yang Xin muttered as he looked at the game screen of "Kitchen" in front of him.

From the beginning, she felt that this game was really popular with everyone.

but now

She had reservations because she had played with it a bit.

Easy difficulty and clearance are not a big problem.

But running for three stars made her blood pressure rise all of a sudden, and she couldn't help it sometimes.

"Alright, here's the game's promotional video. Sister Xin, you and the senior sister can watch it. I also need to be interviewed by the media."

Chen Xu looked at the two people who wanted to continue discussing "Kitchen" with him and changed the subject.

"Media interview?" Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue were a little surprised.

"The exclusive interview with Game Time is also to prepare for the promotion of the new game." Chen Xu said.

After hearing this, the two of them were stunned.

After chatting with Ruan Ningxue and Yang Xin, Chen Xu walked towards the office.

Although this interview was done to facilitate the promotion of "Kitchen Kitchen".

But in fact, many media are really interested in him.

After all, in the gaming circle, there is still a gap between him and the top game designers and masters in terms of popularity.

But at least in the independent game circle, the name Chen Xu is still somewhat famous.

"Teacher Chen, nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!"

Pushing open the office door, Wu Tian, the editor of Game Space, greeted Chen Xu excitedly.

From the time he accidentally came into contact with "Undertale", he experienced a shock that it brought him.

In fact, he has been paying attention to Chen Xu silently, and Chen Xu's works did not disappoint him.

The emotion brought by "To the Moon" made him cry. As for "Escape".

Although from a personal subjective point of view, he doesn't like horror games very much.

But he also had to admit that this was definitely an excellent horror game, a game that could make a macho man urinate.

It can be said that he has admired Chen Xu, a game designer, for a long time.

So when he knew there was an opportunity for an interview, he immediately applied for this opportunity with the editor-in-chief.

"You don't have to call me Teacher Chen, just call me by my name." Chen Xu felt a little awkward when he heard Wu Tian calling him Teacher Chen.

Although under the birth of various rising stars in previous lives, Teacher Chen and the glorious photos on his computer hard drive are nothing.

But in the photography industry, Teacher Chen is still at the level of the founder.

So when others call him Teacher Chen, Chen Xu always feels that this title still doesn't sound very serious.

Wu Tian hesitated upon hearing this, a little confused. After all, from his point of view, the so-called "teacher" is just an honorific title. It is a very normal title in the gaming industry.

"Um... Mr. Chen, first of all, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to accept our interview."

After thinking about it, Wu Tian changed his words and said, although he didn't know why Chen Xu didn't like the title of teacher, he couldn't really call people by their names.

"Don't be so nervous and reserved. We can have a casual chat first." Chen Xu smiled and took a bottle of Coke from the box next to him and handed it to the other party, and then took one himself.

"Uh... ok... ok." Wu Tian looked at Chen Xu with a smile on his face, subconsciously took the bottle of Coke and put it in front of him, and then responded.

"Then let's talk about the game "Undertale" first. After all, the previous "Mirror" was not convenient for reporting. The main reason for developing "Undertale" was to discover the shortcomings of a game on the market. Before this, the meta concept appeared more in novels and movies, so I also thought about why this model cannot be used in games? And in terms of the sense of substitution, games have more advantages."

"To the Moon"? How about it? I believe that countless players have already given their answers. As for "Escape", I did develop it with full enthusiasm. Judging from the feedback from the players, it is obvious that they also You should feel it.”

"Players want it, and there is a lack of similar games on the market, so we do it. That's why I say that I feel like a warrior of love. Each of our games is full of love for players. It's like it's about to erupt." Volcano-like enthusiasm.”

"The same is true for new games. My 'love' for players is also nurtured in new games."

New game!

Hearing Chen Xu's words, Wu Tian's eyes lit up as he was sitting there.

But there was finally a hot topic that could attract attention, although he knew in his heart that the main purpose of Nebula Games was probably to promote its new game.

But at least there is a breaking point, at least it is exclusive news.

Wu Tian said with expectation: "Can Mr. Chen reveal a little bit about the new game?"

"Of course, the new game will be a cooperative game suitable for all ages and will be launched on February 14th, which is Valentine's Day."

"We hope that this game can make the relationship between lovers and players deeper. Of course, if you don't have a partner, you can also follow your good brothers, sisters and good friends to experience and enjoy the beauty of this game."

Chen Xu said with a smile and very sincerely.

At the same time, Chen Xu also showed two original concept paintings of "House Kitchen".

The cute little crocodile chef, the onion king, and Kevin the dog are two chefs wearing chef hats in the lively kitchen. Everyone is smiling.

To sum it up in four words, that is: harmony and love.

Four more words: It’s fun.

At first glance, people feel that this game is very warm and it is the kind of game that must be played among friends.

… … … …

The interview was not very long, less than 20 minutes.

With a smile as bright as spring breeze, Chen Xu personally sent Wu Tian to the gate and watched him enter the elevator.

"Young man!" Chen Xu looked sad.

In the elevator, Wu Tian was holding a voice recorder and an unopened cup of Coke.

At this time, he came back to his senses and recalled the entire interview process just now.

I feel a little dizzy.

Shouldn't he be the interviewer? Why does it feel like he has become a stenographer

Looking at the recorder and Coke in his hand, Wu Tian fell into deep thought.

When did you lose your right to speak

It seems like it started with this bottle of Coke, right

"But fortunately, it's not without some gains. Chen Xuxin's game material is quite sufficient, but we have to come up with the press release quickly!"

"Let's use the title 'Transmission of Love', and the game "House Kitchen" looks very warm from the original painting. It seems that players who have girlfriends during the Spring Festival this year will be able to have a good year. !”
