Chapter 1 Study Simulator
Downloads: 5
Chen Ba manipulated the mouse to continuously refresh the developer backend, and looking at the glaring words on the page, his heart sank.
How could this happen?
He is a man who has awakened the system. In the novel, he is the son of destiny and the most beloved child of God.
But the current situation is that the first pixel-style simulation game he made with full confidence has only been downloaded five times since it was uploaded to the Steam platform.
Among them, one download was contributed by himself. After all, this is a one-time purchase game, and he had to experience the entire process of purchasing and warehousing in person.
As for the other four downloads, those were probably the users he had finally attracted after promoting them in the class group for a long time.
[The most hardcore game producer system]
This is the golden finger that Chen Ba awakened not long ago, and it is also the reason why he has great expectations for this game.
Although the system is a simple one, apart from displaying the status of the game being made and providing various auxiliary functions, it cannot be operated as easily as other systems, but it is better to have plug-ins than not.
This is a game that has been verified by the system and has a completion score of 91 points!
Although the pixel style is indeed a bit old-fashioned, Chen Ba's artistic skills are his weak point after all, and achieving this is already an extraordinary performance.
“Is it because there is no publicity?”
Chen Ba muttered to himself.
The saying “Good wine needs no bush” is no longer popular nowadays. No matter how good a game is, if it is not pushed to the player community, people won’t know about it!
【Study hard simulator】
This is the first game produced after Chen Ba awakened the system, which took three and a half months to produce. It is priced at 18 yuan on the Steam platform.
Because games named "XX Simulator" have been very popular recently, he also followed suit and made a simulation game, hoping to get some free traffic.
The gameplay is very simple.
Players need to play the role of an ordinary middle school student who lives in a remote mountainous area and has a poor family background. While sharing farm work and housework for the family, they also study hard to ensure that their grades are always among the best in the grade and eventually get admitted to the high school of their dreams.
The core gameplay lies in the fact that daily chores such as herding cattle, cutting grass for pigs, and breaking corn will consume the player's physical strength while increasing a certain degree of motivation for learning.
Lack of physical strength leads to decreased learning efficiency.
The motivation to learn will greatly increase the speed at which players gain subject experience during the learning process, which is equivalent to a gain buff.
It is definitely not possible to not do any chores and just focus on studying.
The core gameplay of the game determines that chores, main quests and side quests must be completed, otherwise a failure ending will be triggered.
Working like crazy won't work either, because you only have so much energy every day. If you don't take time out to study, your grades will definitely not keep up with the progress of the game...
The degree of completion of this game was considered very good in Chen Ba's opinion. He even felt it was incredible after he finished it. How could he have completed a game of this quality independently?
The system is so strong!
In the end, Chen Ba could only sigh that cheating was shameful but effective, and subconsciously compared it with similar games.
As a result, he found that except for the sloppy graphics and abstract characters, the "Study Simulator" he made was not inferior to those games made by large teams.
It is even slightly better in terms of plot completeness and game playability.
With this quality, 18 yuan is a great bargain! Chen Ba couldn't imagine why the game was not well received. He could only conclude that the publicity and promotion were not in place, and no one had discovered this "treasure game" yet.
When everyone discovers the fun of this game, the number of downloads will surely soar, and he will become a shining new star in the gaming circle, and from then on he will reach the pinnacle of his life...
Now it's fantasy time!
Chen Ba was troubled for a long time about what to write in his signature after the game became popular, and how many bodyguards he should hire after becoming famous. He only came to his senses when his cell phone beeped.
"Hello? Brother Ba!"
"Tell me the truth, did you really make this game?" Wang Kun, Chen Ba's roommate in college, asked in disbelief.
"If it wasn't me who did it, then it was you who did it?" Chen Ba first choked, then asked, "Did you download it and try it out? How was it? How did you feel?"
"In one word, awesome!"
Wang Kun yelled on the phone, "How did you suddenly come to your senses and create such an amazing game?"
"I have been playing it since I downloaded it. The only feeling I have is that it is not easy for poor students. The part where they read books under the moonlight while hungry made me cry."
After praising the game, Wang Kun immediately told Chen Ba that the game made by his good friend was so fun that he had to recommend it crazily in the circle of friends.
"But if we just recommend it for you, I'm afraid it won't attract many people. Brother Ba, have you considered asking those game UP hosts to promote it?"
"Yes, but I have no money!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
They are all good friends, so Chen Ba did not hide anything: "Do you think I don't want to find someone to promote it? The problem is, how can I pay them for the advertising?"
After graduating from university, Chen Ba first joined a famous game company to write client code. Not long after, he resigned and joined another Internet e-commerce company. Later, he was fired for speaking too directly and offending people.
After all these years, he still hadn't saved any money. As for asking his family for money... Chen Ba, who had already graduated, really couldn't bring himself to ask.
What's more, his parents are not rich people. They are just ordinary farmers who work hard in the fields.
[Hard Study Simulator] is more like Chen Ba’s own personal experience than a game.
He really did read under the moon!
But that was not because they were worried about the electricity bill and could not afford to light a candle, but because of the extreme ice and snow disaster that caused a power outage that lasted for a month.
Wang Kun is also suffering.
Wang Kun, who also graduated not long ago, has a slightly better family background than Chen Ba, but he is not a rich second-generation and cannot help him much.
But Wang Kun said that he had added a Pili Pili UP master as a friend, and it happened that this UP master also made game videos and could recommend it to Chen Ba.
As for success or not, it depends on your appearance.
After all, Wang Kun also said that even though the UP host only has hundreds of thousands of fans, he also has business orders to take on. Although there is a probability of free help, it is not as high as imagined.
“Give it a try!”
Wang Kun sincerely felt that the game made by Chen Ba had great potential, so he said very positively: "Even if he doesn't reply to me, I will help you promote it in the comment section of each game video and attract more players to join the game."
"There's no need for that. You're acting too much like a navy!" Chen Ba was speechless.
Although he cares a lot about the sales of the game, after all, it is related to his income, but he also doesn't want Wang Kun to help him get good reviews everywhere and attract ridicule and abuse from passers-by and netizens.
He appreciated his good brother's kindness.
As for posting a lot of comments that are irrelevant to the videos under each video, that will only attract negative attention and there is absolutely no need to do so.
"Don't worry, your game is so good, it will definitely become popular!"
Wang Kun was full of confidence: "I will take care of recommending it to the UP host. If this one doesn't work, we can try another one. There will always be a bored UP host who will be interested..."
