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

After leaving Jiang Jia's office area, Chen Dong did not return to his office directly, but went to the Product Development Department 3 first.

Generally speaking, a game requires a large number of people during development, but once development ends and the game is running, the need for manpower decreases significantly.

Therefore, among the three departments responsible for product development, the Product Development Department III has the most staff.

According to Chen Dong's plan, although the first version of Terraria has been completed, there are still many subsequent versions that need to be updated.

Therefore, now is not the time to lay off the staff of the Product Development Department 3.

On the contrary, Chen Dong is still considering whether to continue recruiting for the Product Development Department III to speed up the update speed of Terraria.

Upon entering the office area of ​​Product Development Department III, the constant sound of keyboards being typed immediately filled Chen Dong's ears.

Seeing that the employees were engrossed in code development, Chen Dong slowed his pace and walked gently to the side of the department head, Xiao Qin.

"Mr. Chen, what brings you here?"

Xiao Qin had just finished typing a line of code and was about to stretch and rest when he saw Chen Dong standing next to his workstation. He was startled.

Chen Dong wore a smile, looking quite amiable, and spoke in a similarly gentle tone.

"Xiao Qin, don't be nervous. I just want to know how the development of Terraria version 1.1 is progressing, and whether it can be released this week?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I guarantee that version 1.1 will be completed within this week!"

Xiao Qin is a veteran of Star Card Games, but he's not that old; he's only been out of college for about four or five years, a time when he's full of energy and passionate about his work.

In addition, Chen Dong not only gave it to others, but he was also very generous when it came to money. If it weren't for the rules of Star Card, Xiao Qin could have even settled down at the company.

Xiao Qin only truly understands the ancient poem she learned in Chinese class when she was a child.

"To repay your kindness, I will serve you with my life! If I fail to complete the mission and disappoint you, Mr. Chen, I will voluntarily leave Starcard!"

Seeing Xiao Qin's enthusiastic demeanor, Chen Dong felt very gratified and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

"Just do your best. If you have any needs, just let me know as soon as possible."

Afterwards, Chen Dong did not disturb Xiao Qin's work any further, left the Product Development Department III, and returned to his office.

As soon as Chen Dong pushed open the office door, he found that Yin Qingying was already waiting for him inside.

"Mr. Chen, the latest data for Terraria is out."

On the table was a stack of data reports that Yin Qingying had already organized.

"Total sales reached 300 million copies, and the number of online players reached 30, yet it only ranked twelfth on the popularity charts?"

As Chen Dong flipped through the reports, his brows gradually furrowed.

The ranking of Terraria on the list was significantly different from the game's data, which puzzled Chen Dong.

Noticing the suspicion in Chen Dong's eyes, Yin Qingying slowly explained.

"Mr. Chen, it's highly likely that it's because of Teng Yan that many Atlantis players are maliciously giving low ratings to Terraria, causing a serious mismatch between the game's rankings and data."

Chen Dong nodded slightly; this explanation matched his own guess.

"Mr. Chen, should we raise this issue with the steam platform?"

Yin Qingying attempted to offer a solution.

However, Chen Dong rejected it outright.

"Teng Yan only guided the fans' opinions and did not hire any online trolls. This behavior is not considered a violation of the rules. Even if the Steam platform is notified, it is unlikely that the problem will be resolved."

"Should we also encourage fans to lower the rating of 'Atlantis'?"

"No need, doing that will only result in a lose-lose situation."

Chen Dong shook his head, rejecting Yin Qingying's suggestion once again.

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Dong slowly spoke.

"Instead of wasting energy on scheming against Tengyan, we should focus on polishing Terraria. Whether we can win the annual game development competition will ultimately depend on the quality of the game."

"Just taking the beating without fighting back doesn't seem like your style, Mr. Chen."

Chen Dong looked up and his eyes met Yin Qingying's, which were slightly smiling.

Has Yin Qingying, this iceberg, finally seen the light? How come she's joking around now?

Chen Dong was puzzled, Chen Dong was confused, Chen Dong gave up on dwelling on it, and found an excuse for Yin Qingying.

It seems the issue of the renovation costs for Xingxing Welfare Home has been resolved, which has improved her mood and made her more cheerful.

"Of course," Chen Dong said with a smile. "Version 1.1 of Terraria will be released this week. We can use this opportunity to launch a promotional campaign and invite a few streamers to play the latest version of Terraria together."

The days when good wine needs no bush are long gone. In this society where the entertainment industry is highly developed, no matter how good the wine is, once it is trapped in a deep alley, no one will come to it.

"I understand. I'll go prepare for the pre-launch promotion and contact the anchors on several major platforms now."

Yin Qingying nodded vigorously, then turned and left the office.

After seeing Yin Qingying off, Chen Dong didn't rest; he started writing a novel.

It took Chen Dong only two and a half hours to complete his goal of writing 6,000 words.

Just as Chen Dong was about to pick up his phone to watch some videos and relax, a trending topic popped up at the top of the screen.

[Terraria Latest Version Update Preview!]

"Oh? The news of the version update is trending so quickly?"

Seeing that the Terraria update news had climbed to seventh place on the trending topics list, Chen Dong smiled silently.

Meanwhile, in Shanghai, inside a pink-decorated rental apartment.

The girl was wearing a thin nightgown, and through the silk fabric of the dress, one could vaguely see her fair and alluring skin underneath.

Su Tao curled up in the beanbag chair, the hem of her nightgown rolled up to her upper thighs, revealing a faint pink hue, while her slender, fair legs swayed rhythmically up and down in mid-air.

"Lately, all these anime are just 'toilet paper' stuff. There's not a single good one. It's all isekai (another world) anime, so boring!"

Su Tao gently bit into the potato chip, the crisp sound of it breaking mingling with the popping of cola bubbles, echoing throughout the rented room.

With a slip of her hand, Su Tao opened the novel app while chugging a can of cola.

With a satisfied, loud burp, Su Tao opened the new book ranking list, intending to find some good new books.

However, the sudden ringing of the bell interrupted her actions.

Click to connect, and a gentle voice immediately came from the other end.

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Su Tao?"

"That's right, who are you?"

"I'm an employee of Starcard Games. We'd like to invite you to a promotional event for Terraria, as the latest version is about to be released."

Is a new version of Terraria coming out?

On the other end of the phone, the Xingka employee in charge of the liaison was taken aback by Su Tao's unique focus.
