APTnovel Chapter 179 "Happy Match"
Chapter 179 "Happy Match"
That night.
Lu Ran sat in his study, staring at the system panel in his mind.
Current popularity rating: 78,234,567
One million.
Since the release of "Sing If You Want" three days ago, its popularity has soared from 23,000 to 1.25 million.
This speed is many times faster than before.
Of course, Lu Ran knew that part of the credit went to Shen Yuege's songs, part to his TUTU, and even the song "Hero" contributed to the success.
After the system upgrade, duplicate contributions from fans were recalculated, and with the explosive growth of TUTU users, its popularity skyrocketed.
Lu Ran leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.
One million.
You can search now.
What are you searching for?
He opened the game folder on his computer, which contained several small games he had written before: the first version of "Sheep and the Sheep", "Jump Jump", and a simplified version of "Plants vs. Zombies".
He typed all of this out by hand from memory; he was sick of writing code.
It's not that I can't write, it's that I'm too tired.
It was never something one person could do, but Lu Ran wrote it all out of his own volition, just so that there would be more games in the world.
One episode of "Jump Jump" kept him up all night.
If he were to actually write a game called "Honor of Kings" by hand, it would probably take him until the novel was finished.
"I wonder if there are any other functions after the system upgrade besides expanding the search range," Lu Ran muttered to himself. "Is a simple upgrade too ordinary?"
Lu Ran opened the search box, recalling other popular games from his previous life.
After thinking for a moment, he typed: 【Happy Match Complete Development Materials】
—The search requires 5,000,000 popularity points. Confirm?
confirm.
The next second, all the information about "Happy Match" appeared in his mind.
At the same time, Lu Ran noticed that there was a download button next to the document.
"Download? Is it the kind of download I'm thinking of?" This discovery greatly excited Lu Ran.
Lu Ran was afraid that the game information he found would require him to type out code one by one, so the first game he searched for was a relatively small one.
If it could actually be downloaded to a real computer, it would save him a lot of trouble.
Click to download.
Then, a selection interface appeared in his mind, allowing Lu Ran to freely control the area to be downloaded.
Lu Ran chose to download it on his nearest computer.
【正在传输数据...1%...15%...47%...89%...100%】
Download complete.
Lu Ran opened the folder and froze.
Lu Ran initially thought it was just an ordinary document.
When I clicked on it, I found it was a complete set of development materials.
The source code, art resources, planning documents, operation strategies, commercialization plans... even the Excel spreadsheets for level design are included, with hundreds of levels in total, and the number of steps, objectives, and obstacle locations for each level are all contained within.
If Lu Ran wanted, he could even update the game dozens of times to keep it vibrant.
Lu Ran still remembers that this game had an extremely strong vitality in his previous life. Even before he transmigrated, many girls in his company still had this game on their phones.
Its main selling point is its high replayability.
Because each game is very short, it is perfect for playing in short bursts of free time.
As TUTU Technology's second game, it's well-suited to be released after "Jump Jump," thereby increasing female users' stickiness with TUTU.
The most outrageous thing is that the document also contains a "user psychology analysis report" that analyzes in detail how match-3 games make players addicted, how to design monetization points, and how to control the difficulty curve.
You should know that the results of the previous system search were not this detailed.
You really do get what you pay for.
After all, this was found with 1 million popularity points, whereas previously it only had 100 popularity points.
After carefully examining the folder, Lu Ran remained silent for a long time.
Then, in his mind, he said to the system:
"Dad, you're really awesome."
However, the system remained silent.
Since there are still projects, let's get to work.
Lu Ran picked up her phone and sent a message to Zhou Mingzhe:
Come to my office tomorrow, I'll show you something good.
Zhou Mingzhe replied instantly:
What good stuff is it?
"A game," Lu Ran typed. "The kind of game that will make your girlfriend forget you even exist."
Zhou Mingzhe:
I never had a girlfriend.
[Then I'll let you play until you forget about finding a girlfriend.]
Zhou Mingzhe:
【…】
What time tomorrow?
...
A week later, the auditions for "Super Girl" officially began.
Seventeen competition zones were set up across the country, from north to south and from east to west, with long queues at the registration points in each zone.
The registration point for the Shanghai division was set up at the Shanghai Gymnasium. It opened at 7:00 a.m., and by 6:30 a.m., there were already more than 300 people lining up outside.
Wearing a mask, Lu Ran blended into the crowd, pretending to be a passerby accompanying a friend to register.
For this audition, Lu Ran selected some similar singers from Xingyao and Shen Yuege's studios.
With such a large workload as preliminary selection, he certainly wouldn't want his wife to be involved.
Standing next to Lu Ran was a girl in her early twenties with a ponytail, clutching a crumpled registration form in her hand and muttering to herself.
"Qinghai-Tibet Plateau"
Lu Ran was startled by the shout.
After the girl finished singing a line, she turned to him and asked, "Brother, what do you think?"
"Uh..." Lu Ran carefully chose his words, "It's...refreshing."
"Right! My parents both say I sing well!" The girl excitedly clutched the application form. "They say my voice is definitely singer material!"
Lu Ran silently moved half a step to the side.
Then suddenly he yelled again, startling my heart.
The procession moved forward slowly.
Another half hour passed before it was finally the girl in front of him's turn to enter.
Lu Ran stood at the door, watching her figure disappear at the end of the passage, and suddenly became a little curious: just how far could this girl go?
If he were the referee, based on that shout just now, he would definitely...eliminate her.
Sure enough, fifteen minutes later, a loud wail came from the passageway.
Then the girl rushed out, shouting as she ran, "Why won't you let me pass! I sang so well! You've rigged this!"
Lu Ran: "..."
A staff member chased after them, looking helpless: "This contestant, the judges said your pitch is off..."
"My pitch is fine! It's your ears that are faulty!"
The girl ran away, cursing and swearing.
Lu Ran silently took out her phone and sent a message in the work group:
The auditions were so exciting! I recommend everyone check them out if you have some free time.
Tan Yu replied instantly:
[Were you there?]
Yes, experiencing life.
I want to come too!
Okay, come over here quickly.
