"What a smirk, have you eaten yet!" Luna, wearing an apron and cooking with a hot blush and sweat beads on her forehead, stood before John, holding two pairs of utensils in her hand.

"Take a break for a while." After looking back at the sweaty Luna, John stood up from the chair and shook his head.

Luna put her utensils into John's hand with a lip, took off her apron, fanned the wind, and walked to the air conditioner, closing her eyes very comfortably.

"Don't blow the air conditioner if you're sweating. Be careful not to catch a cold. Go to the bathroom to wash your face and wipe the sweat from your body." Turning off the air conditioner, just like a mother, John said.

The cool cold wind suddenly disappeared. Listening to John's words, Luna, standing in front of the air conditioner, glanced at him with a grudge: "I know, I'm very annoyed."

However, although she complained, her body walked to the bathroom honestly. The top of the dining table, although it is summer, in the air-conditioned room, the food has become warm.

"Yes, next we are going to develop the big project you said before?" Luna asked while eating.

"In preparation, there is a motion capture studio for outsourcing, which has not yet been determined, and the team needs to apply more advanced engine functions. Koch and Evelien can adapt to the rhythm of this project." John nodded, but he was still thinking.

How to choose a horror game? From the horror itself, "Outlast" is very good, but from the sales point of view, "Outlast" is a failure. John must admit this.

"What's going on?" Luna was curious as she noticed John was absent.

John took a bite back and smiled: "It's nothing. Thinking about 'Outlast,' horror games are too scary and will make players feel timid, but not horrifying will make players talk. Choosing a middle ground is a difficult choice."

Listening to John's words, Luna, who was drinking soup after eating, showed a strange expression: "Didn't you lose money in 'Outlast'? You made a lot of money."

Luna looked at John in front of her, put down the bowl in her hand, and couldn't figure it out. A few days ago, when the online game media talked poorly of "Outlast," with low sales, she worried that John would be affected. But then the other party also persuaded her to pay attention to these, saying "Outlast" was successful and earned, but now she is still tangled.

"It was indeed earned, but the performance of 'Outlast' did not meet expectations." John nodded but shook his head again.

"The audience for horror games is still very low. After all, not everyone likes horror games. For example, some people find some food delicious, but some people find it nasty unless they deliberately cater to the other party." Luna thought to say.

She had started learning game development, including the development of "Seen." Now although she can't say anything about getting started, as she doesn't understand it at all. But by commercializing the game, she understood this truth.

"To cater to players." John put down his chopsticks.

"And didn't you say you want to do what you want to do?" Luna looked at John and said.

In the beginning, she also asked John this question. He gave her the answer that he wanted to make the game he wanted to do; she still remembered it clearly. Just like the light disperses the darkness, John couldn't help but play a clever trick. Did you think of so many things when you first chose the game? Every gamer needs to consider commercialization when making games. After all, if a game company can't make money, it can only fail even if it does a good job.

But John, who has the dream memory, didn't think about it at first because he was confident enough that even if a game fails, relying on the countless ideas in his dream memory, he could make a comeback.

Just like when he chose "Octopath Traveler," he liked the combination of retro and modern elements in it. He chose "Resident Evil" because of the game's perfect narrative technique, as well as its plot and control of the game rhythm. He chose "Outlast" not only because he wanted to play with the team at the time but also because of the kind of fear stimulation brought about by the horror game "Outlast."

From the commercial horror game, compared with "Outlast" in the dream memory, John's development is not qualified because it is too scary, causing many players to dare not even try. But from the horror game's point of view, "Outlast" did not fail; he made this game more scary, more frightening.

"I understand." John was very excited to stand up and ran to hug Luna.

He loves games. He was engaged in the game industry and wanted to bring games that he liked to players. Did "Outlast" fail? It has not failed. For most ordinary players, this is a game that they dare not play. But for the top horror game lovers, "Outlast" is a classic that cannot be missed.

What about the positioning of "Resident Evil"? It targets those who are a little bit interested in horror games but dare not to play extreme horror games like "Outlast." These people are the target players of "Resident Evil," so that more courageous players can experience the fun of horror games within the scope of acceptance. This is the positioning of "Resident Evil."

"What do you understand?" Sitting on the chair, Luna, who was hugged from behind, was stunned.

"I understand what game I want to create." John smiled happily.

"Although it is not very clear, don't change the topic and pay the bills; it is time for you to wash the dishes." Luna turned back, smiling happily.

"No, I never thought about preparing an excuse not to wash the dishes." John smiled bitterly.

"Really? Then, I hope you can also make no excuses." Luna smiled, and at the same time, called the dog, and waved.

Hearing the call of the mistress, the Doggo, who was playing with a ball, stopped his movements and then ran over.

"So dear John, can you explain why there is a mezzanine in the dog kennel, and cigarettes are hidden in it?" Luna pointed at the bedroom with a smile, touching the dog's head.

'???, This has been discovered.' His expression froze, and John, sitting in the chair, looked at Luna's smiling expression, like staring at the boss.
