I! Game Designer! Ultimate Tormentor

"For example, if Boss were to reach the fifth stage, we'd give out fifty illustrations. If Liu Liu reaches the sixth stage, she gets sixty."

Wu Wei then added:

"But there's one thing to note: you'll only receive illustrations for the stages you've completed."

"Like how Boss is currently on the fourth stage, his forty illustrations are for stages one through four. Anything beyond that won't be given."

Wu Wei was incredibly shrewd.

All the mousepads were confidential.

Those were end-of-stage rewards; even if you were a major streamer, you couldn't leak them to me!

(Thank you, esteemed readers, for your support! Please give me flowers! Please give me review tickets!)

It had to be said, Wu Wei's move was utterly devious!

Even Old Zhang had to give him a thumbs-up and praise, "You really are a scoundrel."

This was a form of disguised scarcity marketing and a competitive mechanism.

Since I'm using the illustrations as one of my selling points, I'll definitely make a spectacle out of it.

It's all about skill.

Want to give mousepad rewards to your fans?

Here you go!

But whether you can give your viewers the greatest rewards depends on your performance as a streamer!

All four of them were streamers, so naturally, they wanted to secure more benefits for their viewers.

Moreover, after Old Zhang announced this news, both their streams exploded!

Rockets and airplanes were flying across the screen, urging their respective streamers to go all out!

For a time, even many high-tier fan badge holders who usually lurked in the streams made their appearances.

'Boss, charge! Don't come back if you don't get fifty illustrations today!'

'Fifty illustrations for one rocket, no upper limit, just go for it!'

'Liu Liu! You can't lose, not for the little artist's sake!'

'Old woman, charge at them for me!'

'If you win, I'll pre-order a King, and I always keep my word.'

There were countless similar bullet comments.

Under this immense pressure from their viewers, even though they knew they shouldn't be focusing so much on one game at this gaming exhibition.

The streamers found themselves in a position where they couldn't back down.

Not to mention, all of them had already been captivated by the game and were unwilling to give up.

Soon, the four streamers spontaneously divided into two groups: Ah Yin would be playing, and Liu Liu would be playing.

Dai Xiaomei and Cousin would cheer on their teammates respectively!

Tap! Tap! Tap-tap-tap!

"Ouch—"

With a sigh of frustration, Ah Yin once again fell at 85% progress on the fourth stage.

This game was truly a bastard!

Even the usually good-tempered Ah Yin couldn't help but curse the designer in his heart.

This darn game seemed designed to mess with people's minds!

Just as you'd get used to the rhythm cycle, it would suddenly change tempo and catch you off guard!

It was fine at first; it just meant replaying a few more times.

But as the stages increased, the difficulty also escalated!

Not only were there the Rabbit Grids and Turtle Grids representing speed and slowness, but there was also the annoying Vortex Reversal Grid.

Already struggling to keep up with the fast pace, the addition of the vortex reversal was enough to make anyone's mentality explode.

'Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter, what attempt is this?'

'The twenty-seventh attempt, don't ask, just know I've watched from start to finish.'

'Liu Liu and the others are also stuck in the eighties.'

'This vortex grid is too insidious; it reverses just as the speed changes.'

'Feels like Boss is like a gorilla playing the piano, flailing around.'

"Hahaha, who said the pianist was a gorilla? What good does it do you to make me laugh so hard?"

"This game is too torturous."

"But it looks really fun to play, much more fun than that rhythm game the boss played before."

"The key is that the illustrations are too beautiful."

"I'm getting a little addicted just watching, I'll wait for the boss to clear this level before buying the game."

"This stream's effect feels just like Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy before."

"The series where your mentality gradually changes."

"I wonder if this designer was influenced by Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy?"

"People who make games like this are all seasoned veterans."

"You guys just talk a big game, but in reality, you're all faster to pay, right?"

"Boss, stay steady!"

"You're on the fourth level of a fifteen-level game and already at eight lines? A 90% skill level?"

"..."

Ah Yin looked at the live stream comments, feeling a bit weary.

But more than that, he felt unwilling.

Why?

He was already at eighty-five percent!

He was so close to seeing the full picture of that scene where the man and woman met, with a love letter flying in the background!

How could he keep falling here!

He really couldn't accept this!

"No,"

Ah Yin took a sip of water and waved his hand to explain.

"Let's be honest here, I completely understand how to play this game now,"

"But it's still the same old problem we always talk about with rhythm games,"

"When it comes to the feel, even though it's been tuned very well,"

"It still feels a little bit off, especially during fast-paced tapping. I always feel like the reaction is slow."

Hearing Ah Yin's words, the comments were filled with the word 'excuses'!

Clearly, the viewers didn't believe Ah Yin's explanation and just thought he was losing his composure and making excuses for himself.

"On this point, I'll speak fairly,"

Liu Liu and Dai Xiaomei, who were on the other side, also temporarily stopped playing.

"The boss is right, rhythm games, this is a common issue,"

"It's not necessarily a problem, it's mainly a feel issue."

As he said this, Old Zhang, who had been watching with great interest, suddenly slapped his forehead!

Damn it!

I can't believe I forgot about this!
