Creating games in the future

After hearing a familiar sound, a screen appeared in front of me.

[It has been announced that Alexander Lockhart, the reborn, has turned 18, a comprehensive analysis of his actions will be made, and his ultimate rewards calculated.

Analyzing...

Analyzing...

Analyzing...

Complete analysis.

According to the analysis made, Alexandre Lockhart still retains his original dream, his rewards should be generated to help him achieve his goals.

Calculating Karma points...

Full calculation.

Reward successfully generated.

Reward 3.

I remember this: You will receive a complete memory of all the entertainment media consumed in your last life].

Suddenly a strange feeling came over me, it was like having forgotten the name of a movie, then a long time later and the name just coming back to mind.

That's the sensation I'm feeling now, but the memories that appeared aren't mine, I was a bit confused, I reread the reward and only then did I understand.

"Completing the memories" was actually simply adding memories of how all the games, movies, songs, series, books, were created.

My mind was filled with memories of everything I'd ever played, watched or read, and I could remember perfectly how each of the things I'd ever consumed had been created.

"Hahaha, YES...HAHAHA, this reward is simply the best, hahaha."

Even if I get the memory of just the things I've consumed, that's more than enough, as a designer I've had to watch, read and play everything to get inspiration for my designers.

The most incredible thing is that I've gained the memories of even the games I haven't finished playing, or that I've only seen the trailers for, basically at this point I have literally thousands of Ips that I can easily recreate.

But what's really blown me away is that these memories haven't just been added to my mind, but they've become totally mine, meaning that the whole experience of creating these things has become part of me.

I could even feel my hands shaking with excitement, but I tried to calm down and looked at the screen, maybe there was something else.

[ The reward has been delivered, a small amount of points has been detected, would you like to exchange them for a new reward, or would you like to save them for the next accumulation of points?]

(Next accumulation of points? So I need a certain number of points to be able to be reborn and receive a reward? Doesn't matter)

"Yes, I'd like to use the points"

[ Starting analysis to generate the new reward.

Analyzing...

Analyzing...

Analyzing...

A new reward has been generated.

Reward 4.

Sleep is for the weak: You can stay awake for ten days without feeling sleepy or tired, but you'll need to eat four times as much to keep your body at its peak.

All the Karma points have been used and all the rewards have been delivered.

We thank you for your good deeds and hope you have a good life.

Goodbye].

As soon as the splint was gone, I felt my body getting a little stronger, but I didn't pay much attention to it, the last reward wasn't really anything amazing.

But it will come in handy if I run out of time. Taking a deep breath, I began to think about what to do.

My second reward was having the memories of my past life be extremely clear, that's the only way I've been able to make the animations and games so far.

But with the memories I've received now, it will make things much easier in the future.

Looking through all the extra memories, I realized that most of them are useless, from research information about the market to the game schedules, which I obviously won't use.

I spent the whole night sorting out useful and useless things, and finally in the morning I had a plan.

(I have to tell Albert first.)

At first I had no idea how to make those songs with a big symphony orchestra, but now I have an idea of the structure, with Albert's help we can use some programs and musical instruments to make those epic God of War songs.

.......

After eating twice as much for breakfast, I hadn't slept a wink, so I went to Grandma Maria's store.

And obviously the old man was there, massaging her shoulders, I don't even know what to say.

As soon as I entered the store, they both looked at me.

"Alex, huh? Did you come alone? Jade didn't want to come along?"

"Hehe, I actually came to find Albert, so I didn't call her."

"Alex, we're busy, what do you want now?"

He looked at me as if I'd committed a crime, I bet if he'd had a gun, he'd have pulled it now.

(That old simp, it looks like you're going to get some things, you're going to die massaging her shoulders without getting anything else).

"TSH"x2

"Why are you looking at each other like that?"

"It's nothing Mary, I'm going to have a little chat with Alex, come back and finish your massage."

"Haha, it's okay, I told you I didn't need it, my shoulders are fine."

"Puff, hahaha"

"What are you laughing at kid."

(╬ ಠ益ಠ)

"Nothing, I just thought of a joke, hehe."

Taking a deep breath, I stopped laughing.

"Actually, Grandma Maria, it would be nice if you could help me too."

"Hmm?! Sure, what do you need?"

I started to explain my idea, I need epic songs that convey a sense of something great.

I tried to explain to them how these songs work and that in addition to dozens of different instruments, I would need a group of singers.

"That's difficult, you'd need to use some programs to play various instruments, plus we could use a voice AI to make the singers, that's going to be a bit expensive, but I think I can do it."

"Actually, I don't want to use AI to do that."

"...."

"...."

"Alex dear, I know you like to do things manually, but using an AI wouldn't decrease the quality, in fact it might increase the quality, as well as saving a lot of time."

Hearing that, I smiled.

"Yes, Grandma, I understand that, but the reason for wanting to use real musicians is not only about quality, but also about marketing.

"Using an orchestra with a choir will be something unique that will attract a lot of attention."

In the past, many companies have used famous orchestras to attract attention, even many presentations of new games would have orchestras and choirs setting the right mood for the event.

Having this kind of thing will give people a feeling that the game they're buying has more weight.

Albert looked at me and sighed.

"I understand, but it's going to be expensive, you already know that basically there aren't many people who know how to use musical instruments, plus calling dozens of women to sing... basically, if you really want to do this, you'd better prepare a lot of credits."

"Money is no object"

(I have the money I earned from the animations, and if I'm short I still have Dad's ID, haha)

After that we continued talking for a few hours, Grandma Maria promised to talk to some friends and try to find some interested in the project.

As for Albert, he said he'd talk to his contacts, he knows a lot of people, most of them artists who haven't been successful, maybe they'll agree to help for a salary.

It's going to take some time to get everything organized, but that's fine, even if I have to submit backlogs for the competition.

In the first round of selection I only need to send the first one, if after the screening I need to send the second one.

After everything had been sorted out, I returned home, only to find Jade staring at me like a criminal.

"So you went to see Grandma Maria on your own?"

"....."

"I..."

Just as I was about to speak, I saw Melissa laughing behind the door.

(That cheating brat.)

Sigh 

"I'm too old for this.

........

Note: I decided not to put in a system, I thought about giving him knowledge of all the works of the earth, but that wouldn't be so useful for him, it would be more useful for me as the author.

So giving him knowledge about the production of all the media he knows seems better, even though it's almost the same thing, hahaha.

For those who don't remember, in chapter one, the protagonist gets two rewards, the first being to be reborn in a world where it would be easier for him to achieve his dreams.

And the second is that he remembers everything from his past life perfectly.
