Top game producer

There's one more lottery chance.

Whirr, whirr...

The pointer of the wheel stopped on a gold coin, engraved with a delicate four-leaf clover pattern.

[Congratulations, Host, for winning the item: Lucky Gold Coin!]

[

Item: Lucky Gold Coin

Function: Something good will happen.

How to use: Eat it.

Description: Luck favors the prepared.

]

Wang Jian was a little confused: "The description is so vague, what does 'something good will happen' mean? And can this thing be eaten?"

But he didn't particularly care about this item.

Rather than ethereal luck, he believed more in real effort.

Wang Jian took the Lucky Gold Coin out of the system space and felt a strange sensation in his hand. After examining it carefully, he laughed: "Isn't this a gold coin chocolate!"

It really can be eaten.

He peeled off the shiny aluminum foil, revealing the black chocolate, and took a bite.

"Hmm? The taste is not bad, with a milky smoothness and just the right amount of bitterness."

Wang Jian happily ate the Lucky Gold Coin, and suddenly paused, feeling a sense of foreboding, as if something good was about to happen.

At the same time, across the ocean in the Golden Dollar Country, a Chinese student yawned, closed his textbook, and put it aside.

He typed something into the search bar and browsed: "Let's see what games are popular in China recently."

...

A light and catchy mobile phone ringtone rang, and Wang Jian glanced at the caller, whose name was saved as Reporter Little Rabbit.

The image of the girl wearing a pink rabbit ear hat immediately appeared in his mind.

The purpose of this call was self-evident. Wang Jian scratched his head: "Another interview? If they come to interview me every time a game is released, it feels a bit troublesome!"

Although it had been three months, the last interview felt like it was just last week.

Maybe in the future, I can have excellent employees like Baili Ao take my place in interviews.

He answered the phone.

"Hello."

"Producer Wang Jian, hello! Do you remember me? I'm Little Rabbit from Amusement Park Reporter. First of all, congratulations on the great success of your 'Kingdom Defense'!"

People always praise each other. Wang Jian said modestly: "You're too kind. The success of the game is inseparable from the support of you media friends."

Little Rabbit laughed: "The quality of the game itself is the most important thing, otherwise, no matter how good our articles are, players won't buy it. The purpose of calling today is to interview you again, to ask some questions related to 'Kingdom Defense'. I don't know if you have time?"

Wang Jian replied simply: "Okay."

Little Rabbit said happily: "That's great. Then, like last time, should we come to you, or would you like to come to Amusement Park? Our editors all especially like your games. If you come, you'll definitely be very popular."

Wang Jian thought for a moment: "I won't go there. Maybe next time when there's a chance."

Little Rabbit seemed a little regretful: "Okay. Then when should we schedule the interview? How about tomorrow morning?"

Wang Jian: "Sure."

Just as he was about to hang up, Little Rabbit seemed to remember something else: "Oh right, I have some good news here that I forgot to tell you!"

Wang Jian asked curiously: "What good news?"

"Isn't the Divine Dragon Award coming up in two months?" Little Rabbit paused playfully.

Wang Jian already had a rough guess that the good news Little Rabbit was about to tell was related to the Divine Dragon Award, and his mood was faintly excited: "Could it be..."

The Divine Dragon Award is the most prestigious award in the Chinese game industry, and the annual award ceremony is also very grand, with hundreds of thousands of players watching the live broadcast on that day.

Being able to win the Divine Dragon Award is undoubtedly the greatest recognition for a game, and every game producer regards it as the highest honor.

The judging panel of the Divine Dragon Award is composed of representatives of the thirty most influential game media and channels in China, including Amusement Park, Kernel Network, Touch Hand Network, etc., which may change slightly every year. Each representative can choose five favorite games to nominate for each award. After the organizer counts the initial nomination results, they are announced online, and then the judging panel votes based on their experience with all the games.

Little Rabbit stopped keeping him in suspense: "The organizer has already sent a notice asking major game media to submit their recommended lists before the end of the month. We at Amusement Park are having a heated discussion internally. 'To the Moon' and 'Kingdom Defense' have almost received unanimous support from the editors and have been confirmed for Amusement Park's recommended list."

Wang Jian quickly said sincerely: "Thank you so much, really thank you for your support."

Regardless of whether he wins the award in the end, just a Divine Dragon Award nomination is already an honor.

He thought to himself, could this be the good thing that the Lucky Gold Coin was talking about?

Little Rabbit smiled: "Don't spread this news yet. The good news is over, then I'll see you at the interview tomorrow."

...

Several days later, the interview video was released! The comments increased at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Here it comes!"

"Wow, another interview with Wang Jian!"

"'Kingdom Defense', I'm going crazy about it!"

"Trash 'Kingdom Defense', it almost made me not finish my homework during the holiday!"

"I'm here to see the cat!"

This interview was similar to the last one. Little Rabbit first introduced the game 'Kingdom Defense', and then asked Wang Jian some questions related to game production.

"As we all know, tower defense is a niche genre. Why did you choose such a genre? Aren't you worried that the market won't accept it?"

"I'm a strategy game enthusiast and have played many tower defense games, but I didn't think they were good enough, so I had the idea of making my own tower defense game. Although the genre is relatively niche, as long as you like it, that's enough of a reason to make a game. The market is not my primary consideration.

And I believe that as long as the quality of the game is excellent, there will be fans to support it."

"When browsing the 'Kingdom Defense' forum, I found a post that was specifically discussing the easter eggs in the game. Some are from other games, some are from movies, some are from novels. Players are tirelessly discovering the easter eggs and enjoying them.

How did you skillfully integrate so much content into the game? Which easter egg is your favorite?

"At first, I wanted to add a few easter eggs to enrich the details of the game and increase its fun, and finally decided to delve deeper into this direction. Team members also provided a lot of inspiration.

Favorite easter egg? Each one is carefully designed, it's really too difficult to say which one I like the most."

"It is very, very rare for a game to be continuously successful in development, especially to achieve great success continuously. How do you view this matter?"

"Try to do your best, and the rest is up to luck."

"Do you have plans for the next game?"

"'Faster Than Light', a space-themed game. Players will play the captain of a Federation warship, under the encirclement and interception of the rebels, to bring the intelligence that can determine the outcome of the war to the last line of defense of the Federation, thereby saving the galaxy."

"Sounds very interesting, then let's look forward to the early completion of this game!"

The video ended, and the players who watched the interview started discussing it!
