Losing Money to Be a Chapter 21: This Game Seems to Have a Problem!

Chapter 21: This Ga Seems to Have a Problem!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The next afternoon, Ruan Guangjian crawled out of bed having a slight hangover.

Thankfully, they had only drank beer and his head was mostly cleared after sleeping.

“Oh, right! The ga!”

Ruan Guangjian suddenly recalled – the ga should have passed through the vetting process by now!

He took out his phone impatiently and searched for Ghost General on the official platform.

The original art was sothing that he and his dormitory mates had rushed out after giving it burning tons of midnight oil and he cherished it like it was his own son. As such, he naturally hoped that the ga would beco popular.

By then, he could use the term concept designer on himself legitimately.

Thereafter, be it whether he was looking for jobs or seeking investnts, things would definitely be easier for him once he tosses these original arts under his portfolio.

That was why even though he was just an artist outsourced with the job, he was even more concerned about it than Pei Qian was!

“Ah, the ga’s passed the vetting process! Hurry and download it! Just search for Ghost General!”

Ruan Guangjian yelled out and his friends that had woken up scurried to download it on their phones.

After looking at the ga’s information interface, Ruan Guangjian frowned.

Why was it so simple?

It was especially the case for the summary! Claiming that this guy was just barely doing his job was an understatent – it was clear he gave no f*cks at all!

Summary: This is a normal card ga with nothing new

?!?!

Did the creator bear so grudge against his own ga or sothing?!

Besides, most other gas would place so promotional pictures or beautiful posters on this page to improve the impression of the ga.

In any case, they would dump all the best art resources the ga had to offer on the information page so that gars would be tricked in.

As for whether the actual graphics matched the promotional pictures... that didn’t matter anymore; they would be able to retain part of the gars that were tricked in.

But yet, Ghost General had no pictures at all!

That was the reason why the total downloads was still zero by the ti Ruan Guangjian searched for it – even Pei Qian had not downloaded it yet.

“He must not have had the ti to promote it since the ga’s just gotten through the vetting process... yes, that must be it.”

Ruan Guangjian consoled himself while downloading and entering the ga.

He naturally did not care about the 10 yuan cost of the ga.

It was an extrely rudintary card ga with a gaplay that resembled Qute Three Kingdoms six months ago.

However, that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing either.

Mobile gas had never required overly complex systems or gaplays. In this age, the trend still leaned towards mobile gas that were more relaxing.

Most of the gars could only afford around three hours of daily gaplay spread through the entire day.

Therefore, most of the mobile card gas around that period revolved around automated gaplays such as clearing stages and sweeps1 using energy and limited number of entries to control the amount of ti gars had to spend on the gas.

Introducing too many flowery gaplays wasn’t sothing that would benefit them.

However, for a ga such as Qute Three Kingdoms that has already been operating for a year, there exists a paradox.

While new gaplays were more effort than they were worth and could bloat the ga such that gars would find it too tedious, these sa gars would feel bored of the ga if it remained the sa all the ti without any new elents.

As such, Qute Three Kingdoms would go through an update every three months or so to introduce new skills and cards. While that caused their ga to turn bloated, they had no other choice.

However, that problem wouldn’t exist for a new ga such as Ghost General.

While it made use of Qute Three Kingdoms’ older gaplay, it was a classic gaplay that had already gone through the market’s approval and gars would be more accepting towards it.

All it took was a change of overall appearance to please the gars.

Besides, since the ga contained so of the more rudintary playstyles, card gars would be able to pick up on it quickly without finding it tedious or tiring.

Ruan Guangjian did not take long to draw so cards that were suitable for newcors.

Looking at the overall effects, he felt that they were decent!

When he was creating the original arts, Ruan Guangjian knew that these would be used for a card ga and as such, he had intentionally added so unique designs so that the characters would seem more moving.

For example, if Guan Yu the dragon was waving his blade and wanted to slash soone, his card would shake with that would vibe with the players.

The more he looked at them, the prouder Ruan Guangjian was.

“Indeed, I’m the only one who can create such perfect original arts!”

Initially, Ruan Guangjian was even worried that his art style may seem awkward or would not match with the ga. But now, it looked completely fine.

Not only were the cards fitting in well, it even added a unique feel to the ga.

The beautiful cards along with the decent interface effects and passable music and sound effects gave Ruan Guangjian quite a decent playing experience!

Having played other mobile card gas before, it didn’t take long for Ruan Guangjian to get the hang of it.

Or perhaps, it was because he was the one who had created the original art and he felt like its father that Ruan Guangjian was even more enamored towards the ga.

After a few minutes, he entered the routine card drawing segnt.

Most of the card gas would introduce a segnt as such so that they could entice the players to stay with a rare card.

Of course, in order to ensure that the ga’s paywall would work, the card would normally be just a normal purple card. It was sothing that may seem decent for newcors but in reality, it wouldn’t be useful and would be taken as trash in the later stages.

Ruan Guangjian was naturally clear about that point.

However, he was stunned after 10 consecutive draws.

He had actually drawn two orange cards?!

Ruan Guangjian had a clear understanding of the cards’ values in-ga. After all, the requirent form had stated clearly that a portion of the warriors would be made into rare cards.

Right now, he had already drawn two warriors – Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang. These two were true blue rare warriors and in fact, the rarest in the ga!

Ruan Guangjian was completely confounded.

His first reaction was that this ga must still be in its testing stage. That must be why the draw chances were set wrongly and there was a high chance of drawing rare warriors.

However, it did not take long before the next most ridiculous thing ca along.

To Ruan Guangjian’s shock, he found out that the ga’s shop only had a single purchasable item – a permanent mbership card!

Players who do not purchase the mbership card could only have a 10 draw daily while gars who did could have two 10 draws.

Other than that, Ruan Guangjian found no other purchasable items nor were there any premium systems or the likes.

In other words, while the ga contained in-ga purchase elents, the most one could spend was just 30 yuan! They couldn’t even top up more into the ga if they wanted to!

“This... could this be because the ga is in a testing stage and that’s why the functions are incomplete?”

“But that’s not right. Isn’t this the version that had already gotten through ESRO’s vetting process?”

Ruan Guangjian felt that sothing was wrong.

If the creators wanted to update the ga or fix any bugs, they would have to apply to ESRO for a new vetting process.

Besides, there was a limited number of tis that one could apply for a vet monthly and they couldn’t repeat it endlessly so that ESRO’s staff would not have their ti wasted.

Usually, it would be the actual version of the ga that was submitted for the vetting process and there shouldn’t be fundantal issues as such!

After all, the ga would be published on the official shop after it was approved so that gars could see and purchase it.

Out of responsibility for the gars, the creators should not be changing the contents of the ga incessantly as well.

Ruan Guangjian was thoroughly stumped.

Since it wasn’t a lowly error, it must have been intended by the creator!

He had not thought that Ghost General would be a mobile card ga with this much conscience!

Wouldn’t they be making terrible losses then?!?!
