I! Game Designer! Ultimate Tormentor Section 10

As he spoke, Wu Wei extended his hand.

Old Zhang looked at Wu Wei's face, which seemed to have a plan already.

After a long moment, he smiled.

"I heard what you just said,"

Despite calling Wu Wei a pervert, Old Zhang still extended his hand and clasped Wu Wei's:

"You looked pretty pathetic fighting alone, so I'll reluctantly join you."

"I appreciate that."

Wu Wei smiled and shot Old Zhang a look.

Between men, words are often unnecessary. Sometimes, a single sentence or even a glance can convey mutual understanding and affection.

Wu Wei knew that even though Zhang Zhiyuan's words were harsh.

The gratitude in his eyes was undeniable.

Yes, Wu Wei appeared to be a psychological pervert, finding amusement in the players' suffering.

But in reality, Old Zhang knew that the game Wu Wei created, Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, was genuinely skillful.

Was this game simple?

Simple.

A pile of textures, a few voiceovers, a physics engine, and an animation system.

It was straightforward, with no difficulty whatsoever.

Zhiyou had thousands upon thousands of games like this, so why was Wu Wei's Getting Over It dominating the weekly sales charts?

Because Wu Wei had perfectly captured the players' psychology!

He gave them hope, only to crush it countless times.

But after those countless disappointments, he would then provide an unparalleled sense of accomplishment!

In terms of psychological balance, Wu Wei had achieved the absolute extreme!

This was why so many people were addicted to this game!

This wasn't accidental; it was a breakthrough for Wu Wei in understanding game psychology!

He knew that Getting Over It was just a simple beginning.

A suffering game era, belonging to Wu Wei, was about to commence!

Back in the dorm, Zhang Zhiyuan placed the food he brought for Old Second and Old Third on the table and clapped his hands.

"Come, come, let's have a little dorm meeting."

There were four people in their dorm.

Zhang Zhiyuan himself was the eldest, the oldest.

Next was Liu Lao Er, whose real name was Liu He, a robust man from Shandong, known for his straightforward and honest nature.

He was a legend in drinking sessions, once holding the record for fighting against four dorms alone, only for him to be the one left standing to go pee. He was formidable.

Old Third was interesting, named Lu Bian.

The first time he introduced himself, Wu Wei almost laughed himself into the hospital, and the neighboring dorms nearly called the police.

His name was too conducive to kidney health.

Of course, Lu Lao San truly lived up to his name.

He came from a wealthy family, changing girlfriends as easily as drinking water. He was the dorm's god of wealth, often helping his unfortunate brothers.

Finally, there was Wu Wei, the youngest in the dorm, an unremarkable psychological pervert.

The four of them were usually very close, which was why Wu Wei decided to lead his brothers on a grand venture this time.

"What's up?"

"What meeting?"

Old Second and Old Third poked their heads out from their dorm beds and asked.

"Come down, come down,"

Zhang Zhiyuan beckoned, pointing to Wu Wei beside him:

"Boss Wu has something to say, hurry up!"

"Okay, okay! Alright, alright!"

The two busied themselves, putting on subservient expressions, and scrambled down from their beds.

"Boss Wu, what are your instructions?"

Lu Lao San acted as if he were at their beck and call, his face full of fawning.

Wu Wei knew his brothers were just joking around. He let out a laugh and a playful scolding, and the four of them sat together.

"As you guys know, my game made some money."

"Holy crap, can you just talk normally? Don't be so humble-braggy! You call that 'some money'?"

Old Second, Liu He, said:

"You were number one on the weekly sales charts, over twenty thousand copies sold. After the platform's ten percent cut, your net profit is over 400,000!"

"If that's 'some money,' then we might as well just give up on life!"

Liu He's family situation was considered the least well-off among them.

Wu Wei had earned a full 400,000 in just one week from a single game. It was enough to make anyone envious!

"That's not important,"

Wu Wei said with a grin, waving his hand:

"What's important is that I want to use this money to start a small studio and make games."

Upon hearing this, Liu He and Lu Bian, who had been joking around moments before, both froze.

"A studio?"

"Yeah, a game studio, one that specializes in making games."

Wu Wei continued:

"Of course, this is just a preliminary idea. Let's all speak our minds. If you guys are willing to do this together, we'll go for it."

"If not, or if you have work commitments at home, don't feel awkward about saying so."

Ever since Getting Over It became a hit, Wu Wei had been doing a lot of thinking.

He couldn't keep fighting alone forever.

Right now, it was manageable because the game's scope was relatively small.

But what about later?

It was only a matter of time before he aimed for AAA development.

The Undead who kindled the fire, the Wolf who hesitated and would be defeated, the Phantom who navigated through rain of bullets, the Crossbowman who delivered packages.

All these classic games and their unique gameplay were waiting for him.

The sheer amount of work involved was something he couldn't possibly handle alone.

Since he was going to build a company eventually, why not start the team-building process earlier?

His dorm mates were all brothers he knew inside and out.

Regardless of anything else, they were all loyal and wouldn't betray him.

Stability was crucial for any company.

Wu Wei, with his prior work experience, understood this very well.

Looking at the sincere Wu Wei, Old Second and Old Third felt a prickle of emotion in their eyes.

That was 400,000!

It was an absolutely considerable sum!

Yet, Wu Wei was offering to share it with his brothers.

He was contributing his first big earnings to help them achieve their game development dreams!

Wu Wei's boldness was truly admirable.
