Chapter 37 What is the name of this game?

"Brother Zhong, from what you just posted on WeChat Moments, have you found a job in Jiangning?"

On the way back, Zhong Shengwei received a message from his former colleague Wu Di.

After thinking for a while, he typed in the dialog box: "Found it, a studio that makes stand-alone games, all aspects are pretty good."

"Is there any famous stand-alone game studio in Jiangning? Why haven't I heard of it..."

Wu Di seemed a little confused.

It's not his fault that he thinks too much. The main reason is that there are only a few well-known game studios in China, and most of them are located in other cities. He can't figure out which studio is rooted in Jiangning no matter how hard he tries.

"It's not a famous studio, but a newly established studio called Tianba. It has only made two games so far." Zhong Shengwei explained quickly.

That makes sense.

Wu Di on the other end sent an "hmm" emoticon.

He seemed very interested in the studio, so he asked about its details, including the names of its games.

Before coming to Tianba Studio to apply for a job, Zhong Shengwei had done his homework in advance, so he was able to answer this kind of questions.

“…The team is small, but capable. The combined sales of the two games have exceeded a million copies.”

"You can search for "Living with Others Simulator" on Steam and you will find out."

Living under someone else's roof simulator? After receiving Zhong's reply, Wu Di opened the Steam platform and searched for this name.

Found it! The game name matches, and the developer name is also correct. This should be the game that Brother Zhong mentioned.

"The official version is 25 bucks, which is fine."

A mere 25 yuan is a piece of cake for a high-income person like Wu Di.

After purchasing the game, he quickly installed it on his computer, opened it and started playing.

And on the other side.

After telling his parents the news that he had found a job, Zhong Shengwei returned to his room, prepared to change his clothes and went downstairs to get a haircut.

Tomorrow is my first day at work, and there are female colleagues in the studio, so I must dress neatly.

But just as he went downstairs to get his hair cut, his cell phone rang again.

He picked it up and saw a message from Wu Di with three exclamation marks of unknown meaning.

What does this mean? After replying with three question marks, Wu Di soon sent a voice message.

"Fuck, Brother Zhong! I just played your studio's new game for a while, and guess what I found?"

"What did you find?"

Zhong Shengwei was really curious. What did this guy find that made him so excited? To be honest, he only knew the names and approximate sales of two games under Tianba Studio.

As for the game itself, since he had never played it, he couldn't guess what Wu Di discovered in the game.

"I just had an occupational disease attack and subconsciously took a look at the game update log. I found that... there is no record of any bug fixes since the official version was released!"

"The hotfixes all modify housing prices, and the most recent major version update only added new buildings and new maps."

In the voice chat, Wu Di's tone was as if he had seen a ghost.

Zhong Shengwei was also shocked when he heard what he said, and asked in a typing voice: "Is it true that there have been no bug fixes since the official version was released?"

"Absolutely true!"

Worried that Brother Zhong wouldn't believe what he said, Wu Di made a special video call, pointed the camera at the computer screen, and moved the mouse.

Dozens of update announcements are clearly visible.

Don’t ask why a 27-inch computer screen can fit more than a dozen update announcements. The answer is that the announcements are too short, sometimes just one sentence.

So strong?

Zhong Shengwei was really shocked!

As a game client development engineer, he is also on the front line of game production.

But he had never seen a game that had more than a dozen update announcements but not a single bug.

This is absolutely amazing!

You should know that polishing and perfecting a game is a long process, especially optimizing the underlying code and reducing the occurrence of bugs.

It turns out there really is a game that is optimized to perfection as soon as the official version is released, saving the subsequent one or even two years of polishing!

Just too patient.

And it's not just about patience, it also shows that the development capabilities of this studio should not be underestimated. After all, it is really not easy for a team of four to polish the game to this level.

But then again, what is written in these update announcements? There are more than a dozen update announcements in a row, all of which are about adjusting the housing prices in the game, and the major version update is the pre-sale news of new real estate.

"So...what is the name of this game?" Zhong Shengwei was a little confused.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"It seems to be Living Under Someone Else's Fence Simulator, that's not right!" Wu Di seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but complain, "This is your studio's game, and you're asking me what it's called?"

"I just can't believe it!"

Zhong Shengwei looked at the computer screen on the other side of the video and couldn't help but mutter, "Just this update announcement, would you dare to believe it?"

Wu Di was silent.

He didn't dare to believe it!

He had never seen such abstract update announcements, and there were more than a dozen of them at a time.

"Brother Zhong, it looks like your new job is going to be very interesting!"

"Perhaps."

Zhong Shengwei looked somewhat expectant.

What kind of game studio is Tianba Studio? What is it like to work here?

A game that has never had its bugs fixed after its release, a game whose update announcements are all about "regulating housing prices"...

Thinking of this, Zhong Shengwei suddenly became very interested in "Living under Someone Else's Roof Simulator".

After getting a refreshing haircut, he hurried back home, turned on his computer, purchased and downloaded the game.

He wants to try it himself.

He will officially start work tomorrow. As a "quasi" employee of Tianba Studio, he can't be completely ignorant of his own games, right? Taking advantage of his free time in the afternoon, he plans to experience both games under the studio, not to complete them, but just to understand the magic of these two games.

As a result, he couldn't stop playing.

By the time his stomach growled with hunger and he suddenly remembered that he had not had dinner yet, it was already half past eleven in the evening.

“What…what is this?”

Before playing, he thought it would be a relatively conventional story-based simulation RPG game.

After searching for guides online and trying it out himself, he was shocked.

Living under someone else's roof?

What bullshit are you talking about!

A sarcastic uncle, a weird cousin... these may be annoying. But if I take over and buy my aunt's house, how would you deal with it? Plot-oriented simulation? I washed dishes in a restaurant for three years. Plot? What plot? Oh! If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that this game has a plot. It turns out that the restaurant is not my home!
