Han Ling browsed the internet and, as he expected, found that the entertainment options for the Zerg were extremely limited.
Whether it's music, movies, literature, or everyday games, everything is related to war and resources.
It seems the Zerg are born with a love for combat. Even during their rest time, they hone their combat skills and mech piloting techniques.
Their lifelong pursuit is to become stronger.
Han Ling rubbed his hands together, eager to try his hand at it.
Let him come and give the little insects in the interstellar space some shock.
——————
Capital Star.
Keimyung University.
Room 309, Taoyuan Dormitory Building.
Tech geek Parsons is writing game programs, rapidly inputting lines of code into his quantum computer.
Just then, a notification came from the StarNet.
"Beep beep, beep beep."
Upon hearing the unfamiliar message from the StarNet account, Parsons paused for a moment.
Deep blue eyes and deep blue hair are Parsons' trademarks; in the StarNet, he is known as the Azure Knight.
Opening the StarNet chat window, Parsons saw a message from an unknown insect.
[Swallowing the Wind and Kissing the Rain: I watched your game development video and really admire you. Let's add each other as friends.]
Parsons frowned when he saw this sentence.
Is this bug here to laugh at him?
He's not exactly famous on StarNet, but in the gaming community, most gamers know him.
The Azure Knight is a joke.
Because he has a rare condition called mimicry vertigo.
Once he starts playing 3D or holographic games, his large head immediately feels dizzy, and then he faints.
Because visually, he sees the figures moving, but his actual limbs don't feel the commands to run or jump.
Confused perceptions caused his brain to shut down.
This disease doesn't actually affect the Zerg's normal life. But Parsons is the game's creator.
With this illness, he became a laughing stock in the gaming industry.
In various game development competitions, the games he created were all outdated 2D games.
The impact, feel, and satisfaction are all lacking.
University Student Game Creation Cup, 33-Star Joint Game Competition, 100-Star Joint Game Innovation Competition.
There will always be a bottom-ranked king – the Blue Knight.
At first, such setbacks did not discourage him.
He persevered despite setbacks and finally made up his mind to create a real holographic game on the field.
Game development competitions have rules, generally requiring the creation of a complete game within 24 hours, with a minimum requirement of having one level or gameplay element.
He fainted 45 times during that game. His project's progress was 0; he hadn't even finished building the game arena.
Such a blow even made Parsons consider giving up his game development major and transferring to a military academy.
He is currently a senior at Qiming University.
All three of his roommates found internships at game companies, but he remained in the dorm, haphazardly typing code.
The female father said to him:
"If this job can't support your life or allow you to date Mr. Male Insect, then transfer to military academy as soon as possible."
Parsons is also considering transferring to a military academy.
He sighed, added [Swallowing Wind and Kissing Rain] as a friend, and then sent a message directly to him.
Azure Knight: [If you truly appreciate me, then I have some unfortunate news for you: I'm not planning to continue making games; I'm going back to military academy. If you're just here to laugh at me, start laughing now.]
Swallowing Wind and Kissing Rain: [Huh? You're not making games anymore? I wanted to ask you to collaborate on developing a game.]
Azure Knight: [Don't lie to me, why me? Why me of all people?]
Swallowing Wind and Kissing Rain: [I've contacted most of the independent game developers on StarNet, and only you meet my requirements. I want to develop 2D games.]
Azure Knight: [2D games are two thousand years old; nobody wants to play them anymore.]
Swallowing the Wind and Kissing the Rain: [Not necessarily, there are always exceptions. I have a project, would you like to join?]
Azure Knight: [I'm still a student, I have no money. Are you trying to scam me?]
Swallowing Wind and Kissing Rain: [Heh, fine, if you're not going to cooperate, then how much would it cost to develop a 2D game for me?]
Azure Knight: [Based on file size calculations, for a 10GB game, you'll need 100,000 credits. You'll need to provide textures for the game's character UI, items, and various icons.]
Swallowing Wind and Kissing Rain: [Deal. The game I want to make is only about 10GB in size. I'll give you 1000 credits as a deposit.]
Swallowing the Wind and Kissing the Rain: [Transfer 1000 Credits]
Swallowing the Wind and Kissing the Rain: [Don't run away after you take the money, or your reputation online will be even worse.]
Blue Knight: [Receive Transfer]
Azure Knight: [I won't run. What kind of game do you want to make? Send it to me.]
After receiving the money, Parsons clenched his fist.
If "Swallowing the Wind and Kissing the Rain" isn't a scam, then let's consider this game his final work, so that our youth won't be filled with regrets.
Compared to holographic games that can easily reach 800GB, Parsons can probably make one 2D game like this in about a week.
He waited for about five minutes and then saw that Swallowing Wind and Kissing Rain had sent him a bunch of compressed files.
Swallowing the Wind and Kissing the Rain: [The game textures are all here, and I've also sent you the game's basic framework. You can create a rough outline first. I'll send you the characters and content by tomorrow.]
Azure Knight: [Hmm, your game framework is quite novel.]
Parsons opened up the game's framework requirements.
[Requirement 1: The game must contain 18 different pages: main page, battle page, event page, level page, story page, hidden story page, item page, etc.]
【Requirement 2: The frame size should be customized according to the specific computer model, and it must be full-screen.】
[Requirement 3: The game must be equipped with three major systems: vibration, touch, and sensing, as well as artificial intelligence.]
This is the first time Azure Knight has seen a game with so many requirements.
18 pages, I wonder what kind of game "Swallowing the Wind and Kissing the Rain" is trying to create.
Parson received the file sent from the other side, and after glancing at the game icons, he was almost blinded by their sheer number.
"Holy crap! What are all these things?"
Pink, light blue, light purple, light cyan, creamy yellow—such dreamy colors, they hurt Parsons' eyes.
He suppressed his discomfort and quickly flipped through the entire image package.
The entire compressed file was this color from beginning to end!
The background, game icon, game button, and decorations all share this style.
"Beep beep".
Upon receiving the message, Parsons looked back at the chat window.
Swallowing Wind and Kissing Rain: [By the way, the game's name is "Charge! Top Male Insect Lord".]
When Parsons saw the words "Your Excellency Male Insect," his eyelids twitched.
Azure Knight: [Can I ask what the main storyline of the game is?]
Swallowing the Wind and Kissing the Rain: [Main quest, where the player controls their character to mate with 5 male insects.]
Upon seeing this sentence, Parsons suddenly choked on his own saliva and coughed incessantly.
Azure Knight: [You're really something! That's a male insect, after all!]
Swallowing the Wind and Kissing the Rain: [Go do it now, stop chatting.]
In his university dormitory, Parsons suddenly became curious about the creature that swallows the wind and kisses the rain.
Who on earth is this person? How could they come up with such a bizarre story!
He clicked on the profile page of "Swallowing the Wind and Kissing the Rain" and found that this person's account looked like a brand new one.
The three main comment sections – [Speak Out], [Long Videos], and [Short Videos] – are all empty.
However, there is one work in the literature column.
Parsons clicked on it curiously, his eyes gradually widening.
He opened the door to a new world.
————————
On the other side.
On the garbage planet C1672.
Han Ling was writing furiously on his personal terminal, creating game design documents and analyzing the personalities and behaviors of the five main male characters.
The system is also very busy, currently drawing character portraits.
Singles, couples, and groups.
As Han Ling wrote, he didn't forget to mentally remind the system:
"Hurry up and finish the drawing; submit it before today."
First, draw 3 N-level cards for each person.
3 R cards.
4 SR cards.
2 SSR cards.
After you finish drawing, you'll need to set the level values based on the story I wrote.
