I! Game Designer! Ultimate Tormentor

"Um..."

Old Zhang interjected from the side, looking a bit scared.

He had completely forgotten to tell the two groups of streamers that their "Dance of Ice and Fire" allowed for customizable controls.

Making the two groups of streamers suffer for so long and only remembering this now, Old Zhang was a little afraid of getting hit.

However, he still had to say it!

After all, this was an original system that he and his colleagues had painstakingly created!

"It's like this, Boss, Sister Liu Liu, our game..."

"Allows for customizable controls."

"Huh?"

The four streamers were stunned when they heard this.

"What do you mean by customizable controls?"

Ah Yin had never even heard of such a thing and asked doubtfully.

Old Zhang couldn't explain the principle behind it in a short time, so he decided to demonstrate using one of the available experience machines.

"Old Second, give me the main perspective."

With that said, Liu He made an OK gesture and projected the machine Old Zhang was operating onto the big screen.

Looking at the lively "Dance of Ice and Fire" booth, filled with laughter and cheers, Xiang Tianming's heart sank.

It was over.

Everything was over.

This plan to destroy Wu Wei had completely fallen apart with the sudden arrival of the four major streamers.

Of course, if it were just the plan falling through, it wouldn't have been so bad.

It would have just meant losing an opportunity to crush Wu Wei and get revenge for himself and his father.

But the situation was far worse than that.

He didn't know how Wu Wei had managed to see that his game had problems, that it was made by Mingye Game.

However, judging by Wu Wei's confident demeanor, the truth of his impersonation was likely already confirmed.

Furthermore, because both of them made rhythm games.

One was placed in the prime location at the main entrance, while the other was in the most awkward position at the back.

This had already sparked much discussion among players and visitors.

After all, in terms of game quality and completion.

Wu Wei's "Dance of Ice and Fire" completely crushed his "Music Master."

With excellent music, background illustrations passionately contributed by Shen Yunshi, a gripping game rhythm, and an addictive game mode.

This innovative and groundbreaking rhythm game had pushed him into a corner!

Originally, from the morning until now, out of the more than 1,300 copies sold, 80% had been refunded!

And now, it seemed "Dance of Ice and Fire" still had a secret weapon yet to be revealed.

Xiang Tianming slumped despondently by his deserted booth, looking lost as he glanced at Wu Wei's booth.

It wasn't just Xiang Tianming.

More and more on-site visitors, online viewers, various media outlets, and even game company executives looking to discover talent, were now all looking at the big screen being operated by Old Zhang in real-time!

Just moments ago, one of the game's designers had proposed a brand new concept—

Customizable controls!

Everyone was curious about what kind of system this was.

Could it solve the control issues that Ah Yin and Liu Liu had just raised?

And to what extent would it optimize the controls?

Old Zhang began operating the computer.

"Everyone, we were a bit caught off guard by the sudden visit of the streamers just now, so we momentarily forgot about this system."

Old Zhang said as he exited the game to the main menu.

"This system primarily addresses the issue that Boss just mentioned, which is also a common problem with all rhythm games on the market: the feel and hit feedback."

"This issue was first raised by our lead designer, and after hundreds of hours of continuous tuning by our Platinum Studio, we finally came up with this solution."

As he spoke, Old Zhang clicked open the game settings.

At the very top, in a prominent position, was 'Automatic Rhythm Calibration.'

"Click this button, and we'll enter a gameplay sequence,"

"Boss, could you please demonstrate?"

Old Zhang stood up and invited Ah Yin to try.

"Okay."

Ah Yin took Old Zhang's seat.

On the screen, a straight grid appeared, with two small balls rotating.

Then, a system prompt appeared on the screen.

'Please tap the keyboard according to your actual rhythm, and we will calibrate during this process.'

As Ah Yin pressed 'Start,' the balls began to move.

Unlike the levels.

This calibration system used the simplest, most straightforward drumbeat: eight beats, with no fluctuations.

The background also changed from illustrations to a coordinate system with the center grid as the baseline.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The drumbeat sounded, and Ah Yin started tapping the keyboard in sync with the beat, according to his actual response.

Under everyone's gaze, a curve appeared, moving forward with the two balls as Ah Yin tapped!

When Ah Yin tapped slightly faster, the curve would automatically move downwards.

When Ah Yin tapped slightly slower, the curve would adjust slightly upwards.

And as Ah Yin tapped step by step, eventually, the entire curve perfectly aligned with the horizontal grid!

Calibration complete!

"Now, please reopen the level and see if the feel has been optimized," Old Zhang said.

Ah Yin was skeptical.

Could this thing really be that magical?

Whether it was the visuals or the rhythm, it was worlds apart from the performance in the game levels!

He opened the game's first level.

Ah Yin tried to start the game.

This was the game's first level, and the difficulty wasn't too high.

Moreover, Ah Yin had already played this level seven or eight times, so he could basically memorize the patterns.

As the music started, Ah Yin began tapping the keyboard to the rhythm!

Da! Da! Da! Da!

In just the first eight beats of the opening!

Ah Yin felt a distinct difference!
