Have you ever made games? Then you should write about games!

"Go and see what happened."

The secretary turned around, pointed to a subordinate, and told him to go to the center of the hall to see what was happening.

Although the person whose name was called was unhappy with the secretary's imperious manner, he knew that a higher rank could have an advantage, and besides, the secretary was the head of the project team, so he could only obediently follow orders.

After stepping out of his stall, he looked at the crowded people in front of him, took a deep breath, and squeezed his way in.

The commotion that erupted in the center of the convention center gradually spread to Konami's booth.

After learning from the tourists' snippets of conversation that the culprit behind the riot was the Star Card located in the center of the convention center, Captain Tanoshita immediately had a bad feeling.

After instructing his deputy to keep an eye on the stall, he quickly walked out and, despite his short stature, weaved through the gaps in the crowd at a surprisingly fast pace.

However, when he encountered roads completely blocked by crowds, with not a single gap to be found, he couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath.

"Damn it, why did the organizers let so many people in, and so many of them are Chinese? Don't they know that Chinese people are the world's most dangerous barnacle population?!"

Captain Tianxia exerted his inner strength, sidestepping taller people and straightening up to bump into smaller people with his shoulder.

As a member of the "human-ramming gang," the crowded Edo-era video game expo excited him even more than the city streets.

After all, there are always some gaps in the city streets, and if he encounters someone with a bad temper, he might actually be caught and held accountable.

However, the exhibition hall was so crowded that there was almost no space between people. Even if the person he bumped into wanted to turn around and grab him, he could not squeeze through the crowd.

Sometimes sidestepping to make way, sometimes ramming forcefully, Captain Tianxia squeezed his way to the center of the hall, to the very front of the Star Card booth.

"Phew, the practice of hitting people on the street has been somewhat effective."

Captain Tanaka tidied his messy Mediterranean hairstyle and looked up at the player who was trying out the game in front of him.

Due to the organizers' deliberate targeting, Starcard's booth was not large. Even though the equipment was arranged quite compactly, it could only accommodate ten players and fans to try out the games together, which was no match for the booths in positions 1 and 2.

Besides the ten players who occupied almost the entire booth, Captain Tianxia could also see a few people discussing something with a woman with a cold and beautiful appearance at the back of the booth.

However, Captain Tanaka only glanced at the woman's attire, a lewd glint in his eyes, and didn't care what she was discussing with the others.

After scrutinizing Yin Qingying's body several times with his eyes, Captain Tianxia reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

"If I don't have to work overtime tonight, it's time to go to Kabukicho for some fun."

After making a decision in his heart, Captain Tianxia remembered his real business and turned his attention back to the game that the player in front of him was trying out.

"A chicken... an FPS shooting game... searching boxes... and loot after killing it?"

After only glancing at other people's gameplay footage, Captain Tianxia was able to extract some elements from the new Star Card game.

The game features chibi-style characters as player-controlled roles, a shooting game theme, the ability to search for items in containers on the map, and loot drops after defeating enemies.

These elements do indeed offer some playability, but...

With so many elements mixed together, is this game really fun?

For Captain Tanaka, who is now middle-aged, he is not interested in chibi-style characters. As for shooting games that require reaction time, he completely retired from his game library after he turned 30.

The only things that piqued his interest were the idea of ​​searching for items on the map and the feedback mechanism of being able to search for loot after defeating enemies, but that was all.

Yet, despite this seemingly incredibly boring game, why did all the players who tried it show expectant eyes and satisfied smiles?

Just as Captain Tian was racking his brains trying to figure it out, a gasp instantly drew everyone's attention.

"Holy crap, a huge red card appeared!!"

The one who exclaimed was a player to the left of Captain Tianxia, ​​who was staring at the screen with his mouth agape, his face full of surprise.

The tourists watching behind him craned their necks to look after hearing the exclamations.

After seeing the items on the screen, they also showed surprise and a murmur of discussion broke out.

According to the official Starcard game guide, red should be the most valuable item in Escape from Chickenkov.

"That's right, but even among red items, there are different levels of value. The most valuable item is undoubtedly the key that can open special houses."

"I see. So, is the graphics card he offered valuable?"

"As for the graphics card, it can only be considered a mid-range item among red items. However, according to insiders at Starcard, the graphics card can be used later to build a machine in the home base to collect the equally valuable red item, Bitcoin."

"Graphics cards can actually be used to produce Bitcoin? That makes sense in reality. By the way, how much is one Bitcoin worth, and is it considered a 'red item' (meaning it's considered a valuable commodity)?"

"The value of Bitcoin is still unclear, and it's hard to say whether it belongs to the category of 'red items' (meaning items that are considered valuable or prohibited), as no one has actually found one yet."

Captain Tanaka struggled to move to a different spot, trying to figure out what had just happened and why the player who was testing the game was so excited.

However, by the time he reached the player who had pulled out the graphics card, the player had already started playing the game again.

After all, each person's trial time is limited to only half an hour. Even though Escape from Chickenkov is very easy to operate, it will still take players a few minutes to get the hang of it.

Captain Tanashita could only piece together what had just happened from the whispers of the tourists in the neon-lit area.

"Tch, it turns out it was just a game item. What's wrong with young people these days? They all love to make a big fuss."

Captain Tanaka shook his head helplessly and continued to look at the screen of the player in front of him who was trying out the game.

He controlled a primitive-looking chicken character, killed the enemies blocking the door, opened the door, entered the room, and began searching for containers.

As a beginner map, Zone Zero doesn't have many searchable containers in a room, usually only 2-3. The enemies that spawn on the road are also not very dense. For players with some shooting experience, the difficulty is not too high.

However, if greed leads to an encirclement by the enemy, the difficulty will increase dramatically.

Fortunately, the player in front of Captain Tanoshita did not have any intention of coveting the supplies. After searching several containers in the room, he began to return the way he came.

Carrying the red graphics card, the player proceeded with extreme caution and concentration, fearing that he might inadvertently fall into the enemy's encirclement.
