I! Game Designer! Ultimate Tormentor! Author: Do It Again

Wu Wei had transmigrated to a parallel world and become a game designer.

He had wanted to make good games, but instead, he activated the Tormentor Game System.

As long as his games earned enough wails and resentment from players, he could grow stronger and stronger.

And so, Wu Wei went farther and farther down the path of tormenting players.

"Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy."

Boss Yin furiously smashed his keyboard. "Get the hell off my computer!"

"Outlast."

Pure Black shrieked himself hoarse. "Who designed this game?! Stop chasing me—aaaaah!"

"Call of Duty."

Countless players watched Ghost fall, crying as they cursed, "You bastard, Wu Wei! Tomorrow, you can die with Shepherd!"

For a time, Wu Wei's name struck terror throughout the gaming world!

Until the League of Legends design team invited Wu Wei—

Doom Bots!

That day, every player in the world would never forget the terror of being dominated by Wu Wei.

Wu Wei: I won't make good games. I'll just torture you. Heh, that's how I roll!

#"Dragon Soul" launched on Steam on its first day, receiving mostly negative reviews and being accused of being a cash grab#

#"Origins of War" delayed once again; the developer decided to release it with Epic in September#

#"Shining Showdown" ignited the battlefield! The group stage would begin tomorrow#

#...#

Inside the dormitory building of Binhai Academy.

Wu Wei stared at the computer before him with a complicated expression.

Although there were things on the gaming news page he recognized, such as Steam and the Epic platform.

Wu Wei considered himself fairly well-versed in games.

Not to mention the three major categories of FPS, Racing, and Sports games, he had even dabbled in all kinds of obscure niche games hidden away in strange corners.

Yet he had never played, or even heard of, any of the games in the news before him.

Therefore, Wu Wei now had every reason to be certain.

I really did come to a parallel world.

The time for me to make my grand ambitions a reality has arrived!

He had once been a corporate slave at a game company, and now he was a game design student at Binhai Academy.

Sticking to his old trade definitely wouldn't put him at a disadvantage.

He had looked it up just now. There were plenty of games in this world, but they barely overlapped with the games from his own world—or rather, there was very little overlap.

That meant there was an enormous amount of room for him to show off.

Super Mario?

Plants vs. Zombies?

God of War?

Resident Evil?

Wouldn't any one of those casually crush the world's standards?

Damn it! A gaming empire was within reach!

Wu Wei was feeling absolutely thrilled.

And the reason he could think that way was because this world had enough of a foundation to make his dream possible.

Seven years ago, a team made up of top professional game development groups from seven countries had jointly developed a super game creation platform called Zhiyou.

On this platform, anyone could select the materials available and build their own game.

This included music, models, animation design, logic programming, and art design.

You could find anything you liked on this massive resource platform.

Of course, not everything on it was free.

Some low-quality beginner works might be available for free use.

But high-quality resources came with a hefty price tag.

And if you truly had enough money, you could even buy out the resource's copyright.

In short, Zhiyou was a game factory that anyone could enter for free.

As for what kind of thing you walked out of that factory holding in the end, that depended on your money and ability.

Wu Wei rolled up his sleeves, preparing to make a relatively simple game to test the waters, when a ding suddenly rang in his mind!

Host's goal of building a gaming empire detected

Tormentor Game System activated!

Description: For every game the host creates, "Wail and Resentment Points" will accumulate. The higher the Wail and Resentment Points, the higher the host's abilities.

Current Wail and Resentment Points: 0/1000

Wu Wei: ...

So instead of making good games, you just torture players for fun, huh?

System, do you have some kind of improper tendency?

They said that if one did not explode in silence, one would become perverted in silence.

After pondering life for a full half hour, Wu Wei shrugged.

Sorry, my dear players.

My heart was set on the bright moon, but the system was perverted.

I, Wu Wei, have become mentally twisted!

Torturing people, huh?

Wu Wei abruptly raised his head, and a chilling gleam flashed through his eyes!

I'm damn good at torturing people!

In his previous life, Wu Wei had played all kinds of games.

Long illness made the doctor.

When it came to tormenting a player's mind, Wu Wei understood it all too well!

Without another word, he opened Shark Live Platform and browsed around.

Looking at those familiar streamer faces, a twisted, wicked smile appeared on Wu Wei's lips.

Keyboard sales are about to go up!

An idea flashed through his mind, and Wu Wei pulled a dazzling figure from the vast game library in his head!

Opening Zhiyou Platform, Wu Wei found an image of a bald man.

The drawing was a little rough, but that was fine.

Next, he found a texture of a black cauldron.

He layered the two images together, and there it was—a bald man sitting inside a large cauldron.

It had to be said, this platform was incredibly awesome. It fundamentally simplified the difficulty of game development.

Then he added a hammer.

He set up the character's basic movement logic.

Perfect!

As Wu Wei moved his mouse, the little bald man in the cauldron swung his sledgehammer along with the mouse wheel. He looked foolish, his expression utterly calm.

Next came the level design, built from all kinds of textures.

In just half a day, relying on Zhiyou Platform, Wu Wei had basically finished designing all the levels.
