Chapter 37: Chapter 37: What’s This Ga Called Again?
"Zhong, I saw your recent post on social dia. Did you find a job in Jiangning?"
On his way back, Zhong Shengwei received a ssage from Wu Di, a colleague from his previous company.
After pondering for a mont, he typed in the dialogue box: "Yes, I found one at a studio that makes single-player gas. It’s decent in all aspects."
"Are there any famous single-player ga studios in Jiangning? Why haven’t I heard of them..."
Wu Di seed a bit puzzled.
It’s not surprising that he’s overthinking. The number of well-known dostic ga studios is limited, and most are located in other cities. He racked his brains but couldn’t figure out which studio has taken root in Jiangning.
"It’s not an established studio, it’s a newly founded one called Tianba. They’ve only made two gas so far," Zhong Shengwei quickly explained.
That makes sense.
Wu Di sent a "Hmm Hmm" emoji packet from the other end.
He seed very intrigued by this studio, so he asked about the specifics, including the nas of the studio’s gas.
Before coming to Tianba Studio for an interview, Zhong Shengwei had already done his howork, so he was able to answer these inquiries.
"...The team is small, but quite capable. Combined, the sales of their two gas have reached millions."
"If you search for ’Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator’ on the Steam Platform, you’ll find it."
Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator?
Upon receiving Zhong’s reply, Wu Di opened the Steam Platform and searched for this na.
Got it!
The ga na matched, and the developer’s na did too. This must be the ga Zhong ntioned.
"The official version for 25 bucks doesn’t look bad."
Just 25 bucks — for soone like Wu Di with a high inco, it’s a piece of cake.
After purchasing and adding it to his library, he quickly installed the ga on his computer and started experiencing the gaplay.
anwhile, elsewhere.
After telling his parents about his job, Zhong Shengwei returned to his room, planning to change clothes and get a haircut downstairs.
Tomorrow is the first day of work, and there are female colleagues at the studio, so it’s important to look neat and tidy.
But just as he was heading downstairs for a haircut, his phone rang again unexpectedly.
Upon checking, it was a ssage from Wu Di, featuring three inexplicable exclamation marks.
What does that an?
After replying with three question marks, Wu Di quickly sent a voice ssage.
"Oh my God, Zhong! I just played so of your studio’s new ga. Can you guess what I discovered?"
"What did you find?"
Zhong Shengwei was genuinely curious about what Wu Di had discovered that made him so excited.
Truth be told, he only knew the nas and approximate sales figures of Tianba Studio’s two gas.
As for the gas themselves, since he hadn’t played them, he couldn’t guess what Wu Di had found in the ga.
"I had a mont of occupational reflex and glanced at the ga’s update logs, and found... there’s no record of bug fixes since the official release!"
"All the hotfixes are for adjusting housing prices. The latest major version update only added new properties and maps."
In the voice ssage, Wu Di sounded as if he’d seen a ghost.
And hearing this surprised Zhong Shengwei, too. He typed: "Really? No bug fixes after the official release?"
"Absolutely true!"
Worried Zhong wouldn’t believe him, Wu Di even started a video call, pointing the cara at his computer screen and scrolling with the mouse.
A dozen update announcents were clearly visible.
Don’t ask how a 27-inch computer screen can fit a dozen update announcents — the answer is the announcents are too short, so only a sentence long.
That’s impressive!
Now Zhong Shengwei was truly shocked!
As a ga client developnt engineer, he was in a frontline position for ga creation.
Yet he had never seen a ga with tens of update announcents showing not a single sign of bugs.
That’s absolutely remarkable!
Ga polish is typically a long-term process, especially in optimizing core code and reducing bugs.
Turns out there are gas that get released officially with optimized perfection, cutting down on post-release polishing needs for one, or even two years!
It’s outstandingly patient.
Not only is there patience, but it also signifies this studio’s developnt strength is noteworthy, considering a four-person team polished the ga to such a degree is truly impressive.
But speaking of which, what’s written in these update announcents?
A dozen update announcents all centered on adjusting housing prices, the major version update featuring new property pre-sale information.
"So... what was the ga’s na again?" Zhong Shengwei felt a bit puzzled.
"Seems like it was Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator. Wait, that’s not right!" Wu Di seed to rember sothing and couldn’t help but retort, "Your studio’s ga, and yet you’re asking
what it’s called?"
"I just can’t believe it!"
Looking at the computer screen on the other end of the video call, Zhong Shengwei couldn’t help but mumble: "Considering these update announcents, would you believe it?"
Wu Di remained silent.
He couldn’t believe it either!
He’s never seen such abstract update announcents before, and now they’re coming one after another, in tens.
"Zhong, looks like your new job will be quite interesting!"
"Perhaps."
Zhong Shengwei had an expression full of anticipation.
What kind of ga studio is Tianba Studio? What kind of work experience will it offer?
A ga that’s gone official without bug fixes, a ga whose update announcents are all about "price adjustnts"...
Thinking about it, Zhong Shengwei suddenly beca highly interested in "Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator."
After getting a neat haircut, he hastily returned ho, opened his computer, and purchased and downloaded the ga.
It’s ti for a firsthand gaplay test.
Tomorrow is the official start of work, and as a "prospective" employee at Tianba Studio, he can’t just remain unaware of his studio’s gas, right?
Since he had so spare ti in the afternoon, he planned to play through both gas the studio had released, not aiming for completion, but just wanting to understand what’s special about these two gas.
However, after starting to play, he found himself completely unable to stop.
When his stomach growled with hunger, and he suddenly realized he hadn’t had dinner yet, it was already eleven thirty at night.
"This... what is this?"
Before playing, he thought it would be a rather conventional, plot-driven simulation RPG ga.
But after browsing online guides and experiencing it firsthand, he was totally shocked.
Living Under Soone’s Roof?
What nonsense are you talking?
An acerbic uncle, a sarcastic cousin... these might be anger-inducing. But if I completely turn the tables and directly buy the house from my aunt’s family, how would you handle that, sir?
Plot-driven simulation?
I’ve been washing dishes in the restaurant for three years. Plot? What plot?
Oh! I almost forgot until you ntioned it — this ga does have a plot. Turns out the restaurant isn’t my ho!
