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

"Hey, did you see the latest video from that blogger who gained popularity through Black Star Travel?"

"Black Star Travel blogger, doesn't Little Jiang eat ginger?"

"That's right, it's her. Her latest video completely scathingly criticizes Xingyou's 'Devil's Roulette'!"

"Oh, I watched that video. I'd say it's fairly objective, since these problems do exist."

"You actually agree with a hater blogger?"

"Some of her videos are indeed a bit nitpicky and malicious, but I think this video is not without merit, it's just that the wording is a bit sharp."

"Seriously, buddy?"

"So what? At least this blogger reads the comments section carefully, and seems to have connections with Star Card Games, which could prompt Star Card to modify the points that players complain about."

Inside the coffee shop, listening to the heated discussion at the next table, Chen Dong maintained a calm and indifferent expression, even though it was related to his own life.

He opened the sugar jar on the table, picked up the metal spoon, and added three spoonfuls of sugar to the coffee in front of him.

Adding three spoonfuls of sugar to a latte is Chen Dong's coffee-drinking habit.

Next, gently stir to mix well, allowing the sugar to blend perfectly into the rich coffee.

Chen Dong slowly picked up his coffee and took a small sip.

In an instant, a rich coffee aroma mixed with a slightly sweet taste filled Chen Dong's mouth.

"Brother Chen, you've changed."

Across from him, Sun Dan's gaze towards Chen Dong was filled with a complex mix of emotions: unease, tension, a sense of relief, hope, and a touch of unfamiliarity.

Chen Dong put down his cup, not taking up the topic, but instead asking Sun Dan a question.

"Just say what's on your mind, don't waste time."

Sun Dan was clearly taken aback by Chen Dong's directness and paused for a moment before slowly speaking.

"I want to... go back to Starcard."

"impossible!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Dong decisively refused as soon as Sun Dan finished speaking.

As the saying goes, a dog that has bitten its owner should not be kept.

Furthermore, please refrain from harassing my employees in the future. If this happens again, I will take legal action.

Seeing that Chen Dong was about to get up and leave after saying those words, Sun Dan quickly offered his bargaining chip.

"President Chen, please wait a moment. I heard that Tengyan is currently developing a game that is very similar in type to Terraria, which is being developed by Xingka."

Furthermore, there are only 7 days left until Teng Yan's "Atlantis" is completed and released.

Chen Dong retracted his right leg and looked down at Sun Dan, who had a slight smile in his eyes.

"What are you trying to say?"

"As long as Mr. Chen lets me return to Starcard, I guarantee that I can complete and launch Starcard's game within 7 days, before Atlantis."

Furthermore, please rest assured, Mr. Chen, I will absolutely not betray Starcard this time!

After saying that, Sun Dan quickly put on a flattering smile and held up three fingers as if making a vow.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

In Sun Dan's view, even if Chen Dong changed a little because of being betrayed,

However, that muddle-headed personality that's ingrained in him can't be easily changed.

Therefore, as long as you deceive them, there is still a high chance that the other party will fall for it.

Even if the other party doesn't fall for it, it won't cause you any loss.

Even if there are no sure things, try three times; you never know, it might work out.

However, it is indeed difficult to change a person's nature, but what if a completely different person were to be born?

Unmoved by Sun Dan's oath and guarantee, Chen Dong sneered.

"Even if Tengyan steals my idea and releases it first to dominate the market, it will still be no match for Terraria."

Chen Dong gradually discovered this problem as early as after finishing his first game.

As the novel's popularity continues to rise, the games featured in it inevitably have their ideas stolen by competitors, who then develop them into games ahead of time.

Therefore, after writing "Devil's Roulette", Chen Dong intentionally hid some key content of the game.

For Vampire Survivors, it's a meticulously designed item upgrade system; for Terraria, it's the randomness of map generation, the item crafting system, and an extremely free and open gameplay.

In addition, the quality of these games themselves filled Chen Dong with confidence.

Even if similar competitors emerge, they will not be a match for us.

Therefore, the conditions proposed by Sun Dan held no appeal for Chen Dong whatsoever.

After leaving the coffee shop, Chen Dong went straight back to the company.

Sun Dan remained seated in the coffee shop, watching Chen Dong's departing figure through the glass, his face gradually contorting into a grimace.

He couldn't understand how Chen Dong, a complete novice who knew nothing about games, could create two hit games in a single month.

Furthermore, there is another game that, even before it was fully developed, has already captured the public's attention and attracted a large number of potential players.

Even a genius with extraordinary talent like him would find it difficult to do such a thing.

Looking at the "Atlantis" logo hanging on the building outside the window, Sun Dan's heart was quietly filled with resentment.

In his view, the reason he could not succeed was entirely due to the domestic environment.

"If they don't want me here, there are plenty of other places that will."

Since everyone in the country is blind and can't see my talent, I'll just have to take it abroad.

Sun Dan gritted his teeth inwardly.

"Just wait, in the near future, both Xingka and Tengyan will be trampled under my feet!"

……

Upon returning to the company, Chen Dong did not rush back to his office but instead headed towards the Product Development Department III.

As the company gradually became wealthier, Chen Dong decisively expanded Xingka from a micro-company with just over ten people to a small company with nearly fifty people.

Most of the new hires are programmers, responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of the game.

Since Starcard has only launched three games so far, Chen Dong divided the product development department into three parts, each responsible for "Devil Roulette", "Vampire Survivor", and "Terraria".

Product Development Department III was responsible for the development of Terraria.

The department head is Xiao Qin, a veteran of Star Card Games.

Although he was called the supervisor, he actually only managed about ten subordinates.

Even so, he still seemed very surprised when he told Xiao Qin the news, after all, it was a promotion and a raise.

"Xiao Qin, how's the development of Terraria going?"

Xiao Qin was completely absorbed in compiling the code until Chen Dong walked up behind him and he heard Chen Dong's voice, at which point he suddenly came to his senses.

"Mr. Chen, rest assured, Terraria will definitely be completed before the annual game development competition begins."

However, the speed can no longer be increased, and it's highly unlikely that it can catch up with "Atlantis".

"It's alright, just continue development at the current pace." Seeing the guilty look on Xiao Qin's face, Chen Dong chuckled and comforted him.

Recently, Xiao Qin and his Product Development Team 3 have been working overtime to ensure that Terraria can be completed before the annual production competition.

Chen Dong naturally saw their efforts and remembered them.

"Thank you all for your hard work these past few days. Everyone will receive a bonus after the task is completed!"

Wolves travel a thousand miles to eat meat, dogs travel a thousand miles to eat excrement.

In Chen Dong's view, the best way to unleash the wolf-like spirit of employees is to give them meat to eat.

There's no such thing as wanting a horse to run without feeding it.
