I! Game Designer! Ultimate Tormentor Section 12

This is a great opportunity.

A chance to get 200,000 for free, how could I not seize it!

"Perfect, let's use this chance to launch our studio's first work."

Hearing this, the brothers all perked up!

"You have a new idea again?"

"Tell us, what do you need us to do!"

Wu Wei waved his hand slightly, signaling them to calm down, and then continued:

"This time, we're making a rhythm game."

"A rhythm game?"

When they heard this genre, the brothers couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After all, rhythm games have always been a niche market.

However, Wu Wei was quite confident about it.

"By now, all the major streamers playing Getting Over It have almost cleared it, right?"

"Yeah,"

Old Zhang nodded:

"Ah Yin finally beat it last night, he was crying the moment he flew up."

"Dai Xiaomei and Sister Zhou were the same, they cried so hard."

Old Second added from the side:

"Yesterday, basically all the streamers in the console section who were playing this game cleared it, and they were crying terribly."

Wu Wei then remembered the news he saw this morning in the gaming circle titled 'The Entire Console Section Weeps, Ah Yin Cries Out for Rebirth' and understood what it meant.

It seemed his previous playthrough of Getting Over It had truly tormented a host of streamer players.

"Since that's the case,"

Wu Wei revealed his signature perverse smile:

"The next round of torment is about to begin!"

"Dance of Ice and Fire?"

Old Zhang held the name Wu Wei had written down and frowned:

"A rhythm game? Dance of Ice and Fire?"

"I can't see any connection."

Liu Lao Er said.

Indeed, just by looking at the name, no one could imagine what this game would be like.

After all, existing rhythm games on the market basically reflected their genre in their names.

For example, 'Music Rhythm', 'Beat Master', 'Melody Mania', etc.

But looking at Wu Wei's game, it didn't seem to have anything to do with rhythm games.

"How do you plan to do it?"

Zhang Zhiyuan asked.

Wu Wei held up a finger.

"What is the soul of music?"

"What is it?"

"Rhythm."

Wu Wei said:

"When you grasp the rhythm of the entire song, then the control of the entire song will be in your hands."

"So, we just need players to tap out the complete rhythm of the entire piece by hitting notes."

The three brothers were stunned.

Because Wu Wei's theory was simply too straightforward!

"It's that simple?"

"Just that simple!"

Saying that, Wu Wei took out his phone.

He randomly picked a song to play, and at the same time, grabbed a spare disposable chopstick from the table, tapping along to the rhythm of the music.

The chopsticks clattered on the table, and the brothers in the dorm room unconsciously nodded along to the rhythm.

At this moment, Wu Wei could finally understand where his musical ability had improved.

Most people, unless they had formally studied music, could basically only distinguish the accents in a piece of music.

But Wu Wei could now clearly distinguish things like accents, secondary accents, beats, and rhythm change points in a song!

Wu Wei tapped along, closing his eyes.

Soon, the level design appeared in his mind!

Two spinning balls, a simple and easy control scheme!

The winding rhythm grids, and the hellishly difficult rhythm combos!

Everything was as clear as if it were imprinted in his mind!

On the other side, the three brothers were gradually infected by Wu Wei's increasingly complex rhythms.

At this moment, the disposable chopstick in Wu Wei's hand was like a conductor's baton, directing the bodily rhythm of the three brothers!

After the song!

The three looked at Wu Wei, who was spinning the chopstick, with astonishment all over their faces!

Because they all realized that just now, under Wu Wei's rhythmic direction, they had completely swayed along to the entire song!

This was another seemingly incredibly simple, yet captivating, stroke of genius!

"Awesome."

Liu Lao Er, the highest-skilled gamer in the dorm, gave a thumbs-up:

"A heavy sword without a sharp edge, great skill without ostentation. That's probably what it means."

"What the hell, since when did you become so cultured?"

Lu Bian looked at Liu Lao Er in surprise.

Liu Lao Er scratched his head:

"Hey, Dota 2's Pandaren Brewmaster has a greatsword weapon that says that."

Wu Wei nodded.

Damn, who said games make people lose their ambition?

Isn't Old Second a living example of learning through games!

"Gentlemen,"

Wu Wei looked at the brothers present:

"Is this feasible?"

"We'll listen to you."

Old Zhang said.

Zhang Zhiyuan was now completely convinced by Wu Wei.

This kid's mind seemed to hold all sorts of strange ideas.

Every one he brought up felt incredibly simple, yet he himself couldn't think of it from that perspective!

A genius in game design!

A thought flashed through Old Zhang's mind.

"Alright, there are still over two weeks left before the expo submission deadline. Making this game shouldn't be too difficult,"

Wu Wei immediately made a plan.
