To ascend, I had no choice but to create games-Chapter 850 - 469: Actually Did It

"The problem now is, how do we define card and board games... Xiao Douzi, you’re stealing my creep!"

"First come first serve. You didn’t say anything when Monkey was digging at your butt from behind! I think card and board games should be defined broadly, such as having simple rules, transparent information for both players, and being competitive without needing to pay for win mechanics."

"I like this definition. Huang Ping, it wasn’t me Monkey was poking; it was you."

"Monkey, you bastard! Normally, you’re so sweet calling me uncle; why can’t you be nice now!"

"Meow~"

"Don’t you be sweet on one hand and dig at my butt on the other! Is there no law anymore! Are there no legal rules anymore!"

The room was in total chaos; a group of people playing games while discussing the challenging task Fang Cheng had set, which was quite entertaining.

Initially, Leon was a bit unaccustomed since multitasking between slacking and working wasn’t his forte.

But after a while, he grew to like it.

Work was enjoyment, and so was playing games; now combining the two joys allowed someone to experience double the happiness at the same time, feeling like riding a hot air balloon straight to the peak of life.

However, the challenge given by Fang Cheng turned out to be harder than imagined, and after two all-nighters, the four planners still hadn’t come up with any exciting ideas.

Leaning on beanbags, all four sporting dark circles, sipping on soda pop, felt their brains turn to cotton wool, all thoughts sluggish.

"How about auto chess?"

"We discussed this initially; it’s feasible, and with the ample IP we hold, throwing a melee wouldn’t be impossible. But I feel it’s not what the boss wants."

"True, what the boss probably wants is... how should I say it... something more Fang Cheng-like."

"Yeah, I like that description, more Fang Cheng-like."

As a character who’s risen like the morning sun in recent years, Fang Cheng and his games have become key research subjects for game manufacturers.

His games are distinct with a strong sense of personal expression, one can feel the creator’s passion for gaming and the efforts made to ensure players have a joyful experience.

The more they investigated, other companies realized, making games like Fang Cheng’s wasn’t difficult.

You just had to nail every detail.

But the more they thought about it, the harder it got.

This title was both an honor and a shackle.

Huang Ping had lots of interesting ideas, but they just didn’t feel sufficiently Fang Cheng.

He and his companions had finished the regular drinks and were now drinking mildly strong beer.

Even though it wasn’t strong, they were already a bit tipsy.

Monkey looked up listlessly at the ceiling, muttering to himself: "If all else fails, we could just do Duel City."

"Like the mobile version of Game King?"

"No, like the cyberpunk kind."

Leon grimaced and then said, "How is that possible; the costs are terrifying! Just modeling various scenes would take years to complete, and the AI for different NPCs would require constant exploration. It’s just a few of us; we can’t pull it off... wait, maybe we actually can! We have Fang Cheng A Dream!"

"Right, since we’re doing it, let’s go big! We’re not making a card and board game, we’re creating an open world!"

"And just an open world isn’t enough; since it’s Duel City, we would definitely need different cards. How shall we do that?"

"Personification! Turn each card into a character and use simple rules like Sichuan Mahjong, personifying mahjong itself!"

"Once it’s personified, we need a card-drawing system! It must be thrilling and unique! Since our theme is a card and board game that isn’t really one, then let’s add some elements young people like."

"The scale is getting bigger, but I love it! Since we are already gearing up to make something big, let’s go even bigger! Just do it boldly, let’s also develop an enhancement system!"

"I’m so hyped right now! I’ve worked on card games before; we can incorporate the rules of card games. What else do you guys want?"

"Sexy stuff! A card game isn’t complete without sexy stuff!"

"Exactly, a strip system. Actually, I have a dream to create a strip mahjong game that can pass censorship!"

"You’re speaking my language; let’s make this mahjong game together."

Staying up all night lowers one’s cognitive abilities but also leads people to say things they normally wouldn’t dare, doing things they normally wouldn’t dare.

Now, after playing two nights straight, the four became incredibly excited, the alcohol in their drinks numbing their nerves, allowing each of them to let loose.

Silly ideas and brilliant electronics ideas flew together, unusual thoughts collided with ideas that would normally never surface, ultimately creating a distinguished card game.

This game allowed for card drawing and enhancement, and although players couldn’t pay to win, buying a daily pass allowed them twenty draw attempts per day, with additional attempts obtainable through gameplay.

The collected cards could be enhanced, Sichuan Mahjong tiles each bearing distinct effects, activated by sequences like Pong and Kong, bringing new twists to the game.
