Chapter 34: Limited Ability

This new [Color Atlas (Gold)] skill allows Ren Amamiya to perfectly reproduce the colors of the "Edgerunners" animation's composition.

The most important thing is that with this skill, he doesn't need to repeatedly try mixing colors for coloring, which would take a lot of time.

Which colors to use to mix Tiffany Blue, ultramarine, lilac purple, and pink, and in what proportions?

It's all in his mind.

He can mix any color in the world in just a few seconds.

"Good, good, good."

Ren Amamiya was quite satisfied.

Although now, the work time for the draft is quite short.

Especially since "Edgerunners" is a bi-monthly magazine and is only published every half month, in addition to the previous manuscripts, there's nothing to worry about.

But who wouldn't want to finish work earlier and have more free time?

Ren Amamiya is happy to do it.

"There's another one, the Game Lord, Guigui, with a platinum-level skill."

Ren Amamiya's eyes lit up and he thought: 'This name won't turn me into a video game god, will it?'

Even if the platinum-level skill doesn't make him the supreme king of the video game world, it can still evolve to the level of a common god, right? No need to say more. Ren Amamiya directly explored the details of the new skill [Game Lord (Platinum)].

However, the result disappointed him...

Because this new skill [Game Lord (Platinum)] is actually a skill related to video games, but it's...

a skill related to video game production!

"No way!" Ren Amamiya shouted, and said: "No, the System can help me replace this skill! Change it for me!"

The System's cold, long-lost voice appeared in his mind: "I'm sorry, this system cannot temporarily replace issued skills."

Ren Amamiya sighed: "What do you mean by giving me this? By the way, I'm a mangaka, not a game designer."

This new skill [Game Lord (Platinum)] grants Ren Amamiya comprehensive abilities in all aspects of video game production.

Exactly, it's a full range of skills, including script programming, game engines, model creation, art design, and others.

It still focuses on video game production, such as algorithms and programming languages, including C++, C#, Java, Python, and other commonly used languages in video game programming.

It also includes programming languages for common game engines like Unity, Unreal Engine, and Cocos2d-x.

Suddenly, he became a senior team member with 20 years of experience in video game production, but he only had experience.

Platinum-level skills are strong, but after all, they are only Platinum-level, and it's impossible to reach master-level skills.

This directly transformed Ren Amamiya into a master in this field.

Above all, being a comprehensive skill, he is now equivalent, at most, to a veteran video game producer in the domestic industry in terms of production.

A producer who does practical things, not a leader who only manages a team.

But... what's the use of this? Ren Amamiya no longer works in a video game company.

The idea of creating a MOBA game before was just an idea.

He just wanted to invest his own money to find a team, and then he would devise the MOBA game's gameplay and rules and let a professional team produce it.

It's not that he has to personally participate in game production to write programs or create models.

At most, he can participate in art design and draw some conceptual sketches of classic MOBA game characters from his previous life.

"Forget it... Anyway, it doesn't cost me any points, so I'll keep it as a collection," Ren Amamiya said helplessly.

However, at that moment, the System replied: "A good game can be spread better, receive more praise and recognition from more people, and allow the host to complete the task better." "Especially the game "Cyberpunk 2077". If successfully produced, more people will know about the work "Edgerunners" and the host will also receive more attention."

Ren Amamiya rolled his eyes. "Come on, System, you have to understand that it wasn't "Cyberpunk 2077" that created "Edgerunners", but "Edgerunners" that saved it!"

"Besides, not even the Polish idiots can make "Cyberpunk 2077" a success. With this platinum-level skill, can I achieve what their top team can't?"

He chuckled. "Don't be funny, okay?"

The game "Cyberpunk 2077", the Polish idiots, a top team that produced a series of successful games like the "Witcher" series, spent eight years producing it, but they could only produce a half-finished "Cyberpunk 2077", full of loopholes and, obviously, of questionable quality.

How can he complete a 3A masterpiece that an entire team has worked on for eight years and still couldn't complete?

Doesn't the stupid Pole want to improve and optimize Cyberpunk 2077?

He has money and a senior team, but he has never been able to improve or optimize it.

Isn't it because it's too difficult? This is due to realistic factors.

Everyone wants to do something well. Don't university students want to get the highest grades in their final exams and an average of 4.5 in all subjects? But thinking is one thing, and being able to do it is another.

Even studying hard every day, like a high school student, you might not achieve it.

The same goes for video game production. You strive to create an epic masterpiece without bugs, with excellent gameplay, and thousands of people chasing it.

But, in fact, bugs appear non-stop, gameplay is criticized, no one cares, and all sorts of problems arise.

It's not about whether you want to or not, but whether you have enough ability.

And it's definitely not as easy as Ren Amamiya thought to produce "Cyberpunk 2077" with a high degree of completion.

To rely on a platinum-level skill? Don't be funny, if it's a master-level skill, Ren Amamiya is confident.

Even a diamond-level skill is barely enough.

But a platinum-level skill, this is too much.

"The host can seek cooperation, work in teams, and strive to complete tasks to earn points, draw, or directly purchase powerful skills, and combine low-level skills to strengthen more powerful skills."

The System continued to reply.

"Okay, okay."

Ren Amamiya shrugged and said, "System, you can retreat, I don't have that idea for now."

Then, the System's voice instantly disappeared.

"Okay, okay, it's almost time."

Ren Amamiya didn't take it to heart, grabbed Pochita, and said with a smile: "Let's go wash our faces and eat!"
