Making Games in the Interstellar Era

Game player Su You transmigrates to the interstellar era and faces hellish difficulty from the start.

His parents’ mecha company is on the verge of bankruptcy due to malicious competition. His second younger brother has been expelled for playing too many games, and his little sister has developed psychological problems from bullying and only likes staying in the kitchen.

Su You: What do we do? It looks like our family is finished!

Looking at his whole family of frail and helpless people, Su You, a game design expert, declares: There’s nothing a game can’t solve!

#Mecha, Mecha#

A brand-new mecha game, with a bottomless mecha pool and seven slots. Collect three identical mechas in the slots to clear them. Fill all the slots and you lose.

The first level, on easy mode, can be beaten with your eyes closed. Beat the second level on hard mode and you can make it onto the planetary rankings.

Simple gameplay, addictive music, and competition between players on different planets make it impossible to put down.

At first, players scoff: What kind of brain-dead game is this? Is it for kindergarteners?

Later: Do you know how deep this mecha pool is? There are dozens more hidden beneath every mecha you move!

But for the sake of their planet’s ranking, netizens have no choice but to fight on.

Everyone who beat the game remembered just one thing: Buy mechas at the Su family store!

#Synthesize an SSS-Rank Mecha#

To help his younger brother review for the upcoming mecha parts exam, Su You poured his heart into developing a game about synthesizing mechas from parts.

Mecha parts and accessories drop randomly from above. Mecha parts can be combined into mecha accessories, and accessories can then be combined into mechas.

Players eagerly sharpen their knives: If we can’t own an SSS-rank mecha in real life, surely we can get one in a game!

Half an hour later: I’ve already synthesized two mecha arms!

Three hours later: I’m just one high-torque joint away from synthesizing it!

Students playing the game: Knowledge has entered my brain by a despicable means.

#Little Sister’s Pizzeria#

The player runs a pizzeria and has to make pizzas according to customers’ requests.

Before opening the game, players think: It’s just a casual management game. Easy. But then...

Customer: Where’s the cheese? I can’t see any, even with a magnifying glass! -8.60

Customer: Is this really all the sausage you put on it? -11.80

Customer: You didn’t put enough tomato sauce on! -5.30

Player 1, spitting blood: At first, I got bad reviews for skimping on cheese. Then I added so much cheese that I bankrupted the shop!

Player 2: What’s the difference between vegetarians and vegans? And what does lactose intolerant mean?

Player 3: They praise my cooking to my face, then leave a bad review when they walk out. What kind of customers are these?

Player 4: Am I the only one who thinks these pizzas look delicious?

The real-life Little Sister’s Pizzeria has pizza and cola. You’re welcome to take some.

Players before entering the shop: This time I’m the customer. I’ve already prepared my reasons for leaving a bad review!

After entering: This is so good~ Can I apply to make my own pizza?

Theme: Face adversity with resilience and determination.
