GDYARVE **Chapter 1: So You Guys Think It's Very Simple, Huh!?**
# Game Design: You All Rate it Very Easy?
Warning Note: I am translating this for myself i real like this novel, there are some small and big issue with translation. This is mtl
Ye Feng crossed over to a parallel world where games were scarce. He obtained a game development system that increased his game-making abilities based on players rating his games as "super difficult." However, the feedback he received was consistently "very easy." Determined to challenge this, he introduced a series of notoriously hard games from his previous world, such as *Getting Over It*, *Dead Cells*, *Bloodborne*, and *Sekiro*. Despite players being frustrated and broken in spirit, they still unwaveringly chose the "very easy" option!
**Chapter 1: So You Guys Think It's Very Simple, Huh!?**
[Survey: Very Simple]
...
Ye Feng sat in front of the computer, looking at the survey results on the difficulty of his game.
The results were overwhelmingly: Very Simple.
He had transmigrated, and upon arrival, he found himself sitting in front of a computer screen, lost in thought.
In his previous life, he was a seasoned game designer worth billions! He had been enjoying the waves and beauties on the ocean when a stormy night and a giant wave flipped his boat, drowning him in the endless tides.
It took him half an hour to accept the fact that he had transmigrated.
He examined the original owner's memories. If Earth was a world where the ninth art exploded, then this place was a wasteland for games!
None of the previous life's games existed here!
He thought of Hollow Knight, Sekiro, Dark Souls, Dead Space...
The more he thought, the more uncontrollable his trembling became. Any of them could easily crush this place, right?
Very Simple?
Ye Feng looked at the feedback he just collected.
So you guys think it's very simple, huh!?
[Ding! Game Production System Activated: Our goal is Super Difficult!]
[Get Super Difficult ratings to improve the host's game production abilities!]
[Current Super Difficult ratings 0/1000]
[Upgrade Reward: Holographic Projection Technology]
Ye Feng exhaled heavily. As a transmigrator, he could still play without a system,
but having a system meant he could dominate in another world, right?
"Simple is simple. My games had the same results, and I'm used to it."
"As long as I can pass and graduate, isn't that enough?"
The person speaking beside him was Song Shan, a fellow student in game design.
Recently, their professor assigned a project:
[Create a game and upload it. Grades will be based on download count and user ratings.]
Sixty points were the goal, sixty-one points were a waste.
Almost everyone had this mentality.
Just pass.
"Let's see them call this one simple." Ye Feng immediately opened the game development platform. In an instant, a game that would break one's spirit appeared in his mind.
"Getting Over It"
This game had driven countless players insane in his previous life, known as the "Rage Simulator."
He calmly reopened the game editor.
This world had a very convenient game framework platform, providing numerous free and paid game development resources.
In addition, it offered simple physics engines, free music, basic game logic, and more.
The world aimed to develop games, but no matter how much support it provided, nothing could flourish.
They spent all their skill points on technology, severely neglecting games. Despite ample resources, they still couldn't produce anything decent.
"What are you making this time?" Song Shan stood behind Ye Feng.
"Something very simple." Ye Feng quickly dragged free assets into the editor. Soon, a jar, a bald man, and a hammer appeared on the screen.
The three images were simply pieced together, forming a very comical figure.
A naked man in a jar, holding a hammer.
The man's swinging arm movements were also mechanical, looking very silly.
"What kind of monster is this?" Song Shan asked, puzzled.
"This is the game's protagonist." Ye Feng remained expressionless. This little man in the jar had been the bane of all game streamers in a certain period on Earth.
Just hearing his name or seeing that hammer would make their faces contort.
After finishing the character model, he started editing the map. The map of "Getting Over It" looked simple, like low-quality stitched images, but every level was meticulously designed.
Any mistake would send you back to the beginning.
In just an afternoon, he completed the game and began recording endless background commentary.
A series of witty lines that constantly attacked the player's mindset.
Song Shan, who had been watching him work, looked at Ye Feng like he was a monster.
That commentary!
This guy, is he not afraid of being beaten?
Is he totally giving up!?
"Cough, finally done." Ye Feng grabbed a water cup. The continuous voice input left him parched.
He opened the Yogame platform and chose to upload the client.
[So You Think My Games Are Very Simple?]
When Ye Feng added this tagline, Song Shan's eyes widened.
He thought Ye Feng had definitely lost it.
Everything he did this afternoon was either asking for trouble or dancing on the edge of it.
The character model lacked sincerity, the map was hastily built, the background commentary was full of sarcasm, and now the tagline was full of provocation!
"Done. Let's go. I'm so happy today. Dinner's on me!" Ye Feng put his arm around Song Shan's shoulder.
Feeling the youthfulness of his body, he couldn't deny his happiness.
As he closed the dorm room door, he glanced at the now shut-down computer.
From now on, I'm bringing the game empire with me!
Ye Feng's tagline had a significant impact. The game had just been uploaded and already attracted a lot of attention.
With graduation season approaching, many game design students were uploading their games on the platform.
Good feedback might land them a good job during campus recruitment.
Every year, this was also a time for streamers and netizens to find entertainment.
The animation and game design departments were nicknamed "two fun departments" by netizens.
Student projects were always quirky.
The netizens loved giving these games appropriate ratings.
Yin Ge was a streamer on the Shark platform. As the top game streamer, he always had a huge following.
Recently, he enjoyed reviewing graduation projects from game design students.
These games were full of flaws, providing great humor and excellent streaming content.
After each review, he kindly left four words in the game's comment section.
[Very Simple]
He was playing another game when his viewers notified him that a game called "Getting Over It" had been uploaded.
"Holy cow, this game is clearly targeting me!" Yin Ge laughed, cursing.
Who didn't know he liked writing 'Very Simple'?
But this time, it wasn't.
The original owner might have known who Yin Ge was but didn't care, and Ye Feng naturally wouldn't organize that part of his memory after transmigrating.
"Goodness, he dared to price it at ten bucks? With that character and modeling, even one buck is too much!" Yin Ge scoffed, placing his hand in front of him. "Guys, we're going to be fair and just."
"Watch me play and give it a sharp critique. Very——Simple!"
Very, very fried egg!
