Chapter 18 is difficult? It's not something anyone can do.
What should I make for the second game...?
Chu Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed, searching his mind for a suitable game.
It's worth mentioning that Chu Xiao's game creation speed increases as his cultivation level rises.
Now that he has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, he can play games a little faster than when he was a mortal.
This is undoubtedly good news, because it means that he has chosen the right path.
Start by creating small, high-difficulty games → players die, their souls increase → cultivation level improves → production speed increases → create larger games.
This process repeats itself, creating a virtuous cycle.
Therefore, the second game that Chu Xiao should choose should ideally be smaller in scale.
The production process won't take too long or be too difficult, and players will be able to complete the game before their initial enthusiasm fades.
After careful consideration, Chu Xiao selected two targets.
Vampire Survivors.
Sanabi.
"Both are nice... Oh no, I'm having trouble deciding."
Chu Xiao hesitated for a few minutes before finally making his choice.
Vampire Survivor is indeed a very fun game, and it's bound to be a huge hit as soon as it's released in this game desert world.
But... its difficulty is both hard and easy.
After all, this is a fun trip for pigeons to mow the grass.
Although players may die several times in a row at the beginning of the game, the time it takes to die can be extended indefinitely after becoming skilled.
The slower the player dies, the slower Chu Xiao's soul acquisition speed will be.
Therefore, even though Vampire Survivor was easier to create, Chu Xiao still chose Evasion Assassin as his second game.
"As for vampire survivors, I'll do that when I'm a little stronger."
Chu Xiao had already considered how to arrange for the vampire survivors.
Once he gets stronger, his game production speed will increase.
He could release Vampire Survivor and several Vampire Survivor-like games all at once.
In this way, the novelty for players won't wear off too quickly, and the speed at which they acquire souls won't be too slow.
After all, there are countless games featuring vampire survivors.
It's worth mentioning that this type of game already existed before Vampire Survivor in the previous life.
For example, *Xiahou Dun the Undead Slayer*, *Bloody Land*, *Evil Spirit Invasion*, *Magic Survival*, etc.
Ultimately, Vampire Survivor became the pioneer of this type of gameplay and is even considered its ancestor.
There are various reasons for this, which I won't go into detail here.
Rather than dwelling on past lives, what's more important now is—
Give him a suitable name for his second game.
Yes, the name "Dodge Assassin" is a bit too... indescribable.
After all, this game has neither dodging nor assassins.
Not only would it be unsuitable for the current cultivation world, but it would also feel quite out of place in my previous life.
"Should we just call it 'Sanafie'?"
That way of addressing someone in their past life was indeed quite fitting, but here... it falls a little short.
This is a world of cultivation, so what kind of name can both reflect the game's features and meet the needs of the general public?
After a moment's thought, Chu Xiao registered a game name on the Spirit Network.
"Persist to the end?"
The word "persistence" might have been less appealing in the previous life, but in this world of cultivation, it's a word that no one can avoid.
Whether they are cultivators or mortals.
The only way to live well is to persevere.
After choosing a name for the game, Chu Xiao began to devote himself entirely to its production.
For Chu Xiao, creating the game "SANABI" was not particularly difficult.
Firstly, because the game itself is not very large.
If we don't take into account the time players spend getting stuck due to the difficulty, the game would only take a few hours at most.
Moreover, the most important element of this game—the visual effects—is easier to achieve in this world.
All the creator needs to do is imagine the scene in their mind.
Then, use an array to imprint the image in your mind, and then show it to the players.
Secondly, it's because this game is also a 2D side-scrolling pixel game.
Isn't that a coincidence? It just so happens that Chu Xiao's first game was also a 2D side-scrolling game.
In other words, Chu Xiao can make modifications to the framework of the first game to reduce his workload.
After all, making games on the Spirit Network doesn't require worrying about engines or code.
The formation is like a brick; you can move it wherever you need it.
No matter where it is used, the formation will operate in the same way it is supposed to.
All that's needed is to slightly modify the relative effectiveness of the formations.
Although doing it this way feels a bit like cutting corners...
But making money—no, making money from the soul—is not shameful.
With that in mind, Chu Xiao copied the underlying framework of the game "Alice in Wonderland".
After pondering the similarities and differences between the two games and finalizing his plan, Chu Xiao began to make changes.
He is now different from when he first came into this world.
Undoubtedly, he was more experienced, and his cultivation level had changed from that of a mortal to that of a cultivator.
In addition, many parts can be modified and copied directly.
Therefore, this time, Chu Xiao spent much less time than the first time.
In just one day and one night, his second game, "Dodge Assassin"... no, it should now be called "Persistence to the End?"
— Officially completed.
"Another day of burning out."
After running the completed game once, Chu Xiao collapsed onto his bed, exhausted.
At that moment, he felt completely drained.
However, Chu Xiao believed that it was all worth it.
"Upload the game for review first, then I'll take a quick two-hour nap..."
"After waking up, I'll record a video to slap Liu Qiqi in the face, and also promote my new game."
Chu Xiao raised his arm and pressed it over his eyes to block out the light.
A wave of exhaustion, as if he had taken off dozens of times in a row, swept over him and quickly took away Chu Xiao's consciousness.
……
Several hours later.
Yinzhou, Cloud Apartment.
Meng Sibo quit the game "Alice in Wonderland" after being tortured by monsters for a day.
"Damn, why is this game so hard?"
Meng Sibo rubbed his temples, which were throbbing slightly.
He picked up his phone, intending to relax by watching some short videos on the "Lingli Lingli" app.
"Does the game developer have some kind of sadistic tendency? The game he made is clearly of good quality, but it's as difficult as cultivation."
With a pained expression, Meng Sibo really wanted to curse the game's creators' family.
"If Noelle weren't so pretty, even if this game were top-notch, not even a dog would play it."
Meng Sibo was complaining when he suddenly saw a video title on the trending page.
Is Alice in Wonderland difficult? Isn't it something anyone can do?
"?" Meng Sibo stared at the highly insulting headline and was furious.
"Damn, anyone can talk big, but I don't believe you won't get beaten up."
