Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Lin Li had already realized who the person in front of him was.

This person in front of me.

In her previous life, due to immense public pressure, she ultimately attempted suicide to prove her innocence.

However, the fact that a living person was forced to death did not attract the attention of the players.

in contrast.

At the time, countless media outlets suppressed the news.

Alex's death did not elicit any public reaction.

The whole incident will take place in 22 or 23.

The LGBT community, represented by Zoe, is becoming increasingly fantastical, with awakening culture gaining popularity and ugly ducklings becoming the dominant theme in Western games.

The silent majority of players are the ones who sense something is wrong.

Then, articles began to expose the truth.

Players then realized that Zoe had been using her usual tactics to attack her male colleagues in order to build up her reputation.

Simultaneously.

A long post previously published by Alex's sister has also been unearthed.

According to Alex's sister, Alex was the one who suffered from mild depression.

Moreover, after breaking up with Zoe, he suffered from public opinion for a long time, and Zoe continued to make personal attacks against him.

This is the end.

Public opinion on the entire incident then began to reverse.

"Yes, I'm that unlucky guy."

To be honest, after hearing the whole story, Lin Li still hadn't figured out how to help Alex.

On the one hand, this matter is very sensitive right now.

It’s still 19.

The pressure from public opinion is all on Alex. It's like the cyberbullying in China. When public sentiment is high, it's real, and you can't reason with them.

No matter how right you are, it's hard to make your voice heard.

on the other hand.

This matter is also linked to LGBT issues.

to be frank.

Lin Li didn't want to touch this thing now; for Xinghuo, it was a thankless task.

Even if Lin Li's actions today were discovered by someone with ulterior motives.

Lin Li might also be targeted.

but.

It's unrealistic to expect Lin Li to simply abandon the matter.

If you haven't encountered them, that's fine; but if you have, and you don't lend a hand, then you're not Lin Li.

Moreover, according to Alex's description.

Lin Li is becoming increasingly familiar with the impact of this matter.

Especially regarding Alex's Night in the Woods, putting aside all the messy stuff behind the game, let's just look at the game itself.

Night in the Woods is definitely one of the best indie games.

The game is commendable in both its art style and story.

In its previous version, the game sold 20 copies on Steam in its first month, with a 94% positive review rate.

Chapter 347 The Best Demo

In this world timeline...

"Night in the Woods" was even made available on the Spark platform. It was launched last July and sold over 200,000 copies on the Spark platform.

This number is already quite good.

Considering that the team behind "Night in the Woods" only had a few people, Alex's statement that he was not short of money was probably true.

However, it was probably because of the success of Night in the Woods that Zoe came knocking on her door again.

That phrase comes from...

The person who wronged you knows better than you how wronged you are.

Having committed so many evil deeds, Zoe was naturally worried that her ex-boyfriend would make a comeback.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Zoe, who had broken up with Alex years ago, launched another feminist offensive, pulling him back to hell after he had already embarked on a path of success.

During this period, Alex had actually come to terms with it.

But when he went to look for a job again, he found that in the vast United States, no company dared to hire him.

In other words.

His last sanctuary, where he could peacefully continue developing games, was also taken away.

In addition, Zoe launched a relentless offensive.

Alex ultimately chose to commit suicide.

"Perhaps you can choose to go to China or Europe."

“We are working on a project called Starlight Sparkle, and Spark can provide funding.”

"You can organize a team in China to continue making games."

Lin Li quickly found the real reason why Alex wanted to commit suicide from his account.

It wasn't actually because of Zoe.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be alive today.

From 13 to 19, a period of 6 years, if he really couldn't stand the cyberbullying, he would have died long ago.

Not to mention that he was able to continue working in game development during this period.

Enix's real blow.

From "Night in the Woods"

Alex and his friends created Night in the Woods, a game celebrating friendship, but he was ultimately abandoned by the friend he worked with on the game.

He was not only abandoned by his former friends.

They were even abandoned by the game.

The biggest blow to him was that he had no channels to make games.

Lin Li couldn't solve too many problems for the time being, nor did he have that much energy, but giving Alex an opportunity was still an option.

"Go to China?"

Lin Li nodded.

"You can pretend you're dead, go to a completely unfamiliar place where nobody knows you, and pursue your purest passions. Of course, you can also stay in America."

Lin Li then described the Starlight Shimmer Project to Alex in detail.

The so-called twinkling of stars.

It's somewhat similar to the Spark Program.

However, the "Starlight Shower" is more of a one-time support program for startups and companies that haven't yet released their first game.

These manufacturers were often overlooked before.

Because there were no results.

Naturally, no one invested.

Spark provides support specifically to address this pain point.

As long as you can pass Spark's review and it is confirmed that you are really making games and have basic game production capabilities, Spark will provide a certain amount of funding.

There is also support in terms of experience.

The money won't be much, just enough to keep you from starving.

For domestic studios, the cost is generally between tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands.

But at the same time.

These amounts, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, are not a burden at all.

First of all.

This money will be collected monthly based on a percentage after the product is listed on the Xinghuo platform.

Secondly, for a game to be listed, it must be logged into the Spark platform.

that is it.

This plan was once jokingly referred to as a "basic living allowance" by game developers within the industry.

But it did help some game development teams who were working out of passion.

We survived the most difficult time.

When Lin Li recounted the plan, he did not speak with any pity.

Instead, it was handled strictly as a business.

He simply told Alex about this, and at the same time, he also told Alex that he actually had a choice.

This was actually easier for Alex to accept.

As for the end.

What will Alex choose?

Whether he pulled himself together or ultimately chose suicide.

Lin Li really couldn't control that.

After I finished explaining it to Alex.

Lin Li escorted Alex back to his home, then returned to his own hotel.

this matter.

For Lin Li, it was actually over.

Regardless of what Alex chooses next.

He could accept it all, after all, he had done his utmost.

After all this trouble...

When Lin Li returned to the hotel, Su Shanshan had already returned as well.

The two work in different places during the day.

But they lived in the same place.

I talked to Su Shanshan about what happened today, and Su Shanshan was quite surprised.

"That person is so pitiful. He was finally starting to see some improvement, but he was forced into this situation."

Lin Li nodded as well.

"Who says it isn't?"

"You said, that guy, what's his name? Alex's, what will be the final choice?"

Lin Li frowned slightly.

Looking out the window at the city night view.
