Almighty Video Game Designer

Wulin Legend’s playtime depended on their players. Higher skilled players playing through the game just for the story might take thirty odd hours, but a less skilled player wanting to get either the good or evil endings would probably require over thirty hours.

If the players wanted to experience all the endings and the different branches in the quests, or even wanting to complete all the quests in Luoyang city before meeting their master, the number of hours would be a whole different story.

For someone completely new like Lin Xue who didn’t have any strategy in mind would probably take a few tries before they got an ending relating to being the head of the league.

Of course she didn’t know that was going to happen, she was just highly focused on the game, completely forgetting to gank Chen Mo.

Yao Yu Was still preparing an advertising document for Tale of the Sword.

“Yes, include a few more exciting shots into this cinematic. And the combat system as well, put more emphasis on the cooler spells. The colors are too dark for this one, redo it or increase saturation or brightness. And this one…”

Guo Feng would’ve rated this song at the top. The lyrics and melody was provided by Chen Mo, there was also a professional composer involved, so none of this should be a problem.

That means Chen Mo wasn’t happy with the singing.

But the singers Guo Feng reached out too were the best of the best, so their skills weren’t a problem. Any better than that, they would have to resort to stars.

Was there a need for so much effort just for a theme song of a game?

“You think this guy isn’t good enough of a singer?” asked Guo Feng.

Chen Mo nodded, “Yeah, far from my expectations.”

Guo Feng wiped the seat off his forehead, “But.. If you keep going higher, we’ll be looking at A ranked singers. But from the looks of it, you need the best of that too?”

“Yes, can you do that?”

Guo Feng cleared his throat, “I could, but just the managers of those singers, and we’ll probably pay market rate. But you have to know that it’s going to be a huge sum of money, do you really need to invest that much into the theme of a videogame?

“Of course. Alright, just help me look for one. Ideally it would be someone that has done songs of similar themes like Wuxia or Xianxia. Someone who sounds authentically Chinese, someone that sounds really elegant. I don’t want someone who is popular in their niche, I want a singing juggernaut.”

Guo Feng nodded, “Alright, you’re paying after all. I’ll see what I can do.”

Recording studio, Huaxiang Recording Company, Hong Kong.

Zhou Yifeng had been dealing with some problems.

He had been doing quite well recently as the most popular male singer under Huaxiang Records.

But had been troubled by his new album.

He had done most of his songs for his album, but his main song for his album hadn’t surfaced.

Zhou Yifeng was one of the better singers. He looked pretty average but was a good singer, a singer-songwriter at that, helping propel his popularity in China.

But singer-songwriters would often encounter inspiration droughts. He hadn’t released anything amazing in the past two years. He could still stay afloat through his previous songs, but it wasn’t a long term plan.

Because of how saturated the market was, the spotlight comes and goes. They might be replaced after a year of not releasing albums, and he might be nearing retirement if he maintained two years without one.

The manager walked up to him, “Hey Yifeng, there’s someone from China who asked you to sing a song, a high price.”

Zhou Yifeng scowled, “I thought I told you, I’m not doing anything before the album is released. You don’t need to tell me about performances like these in the future.”

The manager shook their head, “It’s not a performance. A gaming company is making a theme song and already wrote the lyrics. They just want you to sing.”

Zhou Yifeng was a bit angered, “I don’t have time for that either. I’m still preparing for the new album, reject it.”

The manager said with some hesitation, “But I’ve heard the song, I recommend you to make that decision after you listen to it.”
