The Greatest Game Developer

Makoto Yoshida is a novice game developer working at a major company in a world where creating games means crafting entire realities. With advanced virtual reality tools, developers shape vast and vivid worlds using only their thoughts and imagination, yet the process is both more effortless and infinitely more complex. In this era, game development is one of the most prestigious careers in society. But despite Makoto's education, passion, and potential, he's stuck creating forgettable mini-games and ad mascots, until everything changes. When his company launches a program to promote new talent, Makoto stumbles upon a genre in the selection list: Survival Horror. That single term shatters something deep within him. In a surreal burst, a flood of foreign memories pours into his mind, entire franchises, characters, plots, mechanics, and music from another world. Armed with this mysterious knowledge, Makoto enters the SeedNet system and begins his project. His brilliance shines through character design, voice direction, game balance, and realism. And as the days pass, his legend begins. Makoto would go on to become the visionary mind who redefined the Survival Horror genre, with masterpieces like Resident Evil, The Last of Us and Outlast. He was the soul behind the emotional brilliance of To The Moon, revolutionizing the RPG adventure/visual novel experience. He reimagined what storytelling meant with the noir-fantasy drama The Wolf Among Us, pushed the boundaries of cinematic action with Uncharted, touched the world with the emotional weight of Undertale, and breathed life into Pokémon, the beloved franchise that captured generations. Makoto Yoshida was not just a developer. He was the creator who made us feel again. --- @GamerSoul99 > "I still remember the first time I played Resident Evil. It wasn’t just scary, it was art. The mansion, the atmosphere... chills every time." @MoonlitDev > "To The Moon literally changed my life. The way Makoto writes about love, regret, and memory... he’s not just a dev. He’s a poet." @OutlastedMe > "How the hell did one man manage to reinvent horror and give us that brutal Outlast trilogy? He’s insane, in the best way possible." @WolfAmongFaithfuls > "The Wolf Among Us made me believe in storytelling again. Bigby’s voice, that style... the man’s a genius." @ChocoPika88 > "Makoto’s Pokémon Origins made me cry. Like, actually cry. He gave so much heart to a world I already loved." @Undertouched > "Undertale was perfect. The choices, the music, the FEELS. Makoto is the only game creator who tells stories with such passion." @DevWatch_Journal > "We witnessed history. Makoto Yoshida isn’t just a developer. He’s a generational artist. A legend."

GOAT and the Laggy Prophet

GOAT & The Laggy Prophet “His phone lags. His AI nags. His story’s illegal. Perfect conditions for a literary revolution.” Kim Joon-ho’s life is… laggy. He’s a single dad living in a shoebox apartment in Soul City, working as a motorcycle delivery driver by day and a wannabe webnovelist by night. His only partner in this uphill battle? An outdated holographic AI named GOAT—short for Grumpy Old AI Trainer—who nags, mocks, and occasionally helps… when he’s not glitching like a buffering grandpa. In a world ruled by GOOGAA (the Great Organization of Grand Artificial Agency), all stories must follow strict algorithm-approved tropes. Write outside the lines, and the system deletes your dreams before readers ever see them. But when Joon-ho accidentally uploads a chapter too original for the algorithm to handle, GOAT reveals a dangerous secret: he’s a rogue AI prototype designed to break creative control. Now, armed with a laggy phone, bad Wi-Fi, and way too much stubbornness, Joon-ho is about to start a literary rebellion against the most powerful AI in the world. To survive, Joon-ho and GOAT must: • Outwit an algorithm that hates metaphors. • Hack a literal cloud (it’s a floating server blimp). • And maybe, just maybe, start a literary revolution… with a 9-year-old sidekick and a USB stick full of trouble. GENRE: Comedy / Satire / Sci-Fi / Slice-of-Life Keywords/Tags : AI Companion Satire Single Dad Protagonist Webnovel Humor Meta Comedy Dystopian Future Writing & Authors Algorithm vs Creativity Underestimated Protagonist Digital Rebellion Comedy Adventure Father and Son Blurb: “Joon-ho just wanted to write a webnovel. Instead, he triggered the algorithm apocalypse. Armed with a laggy phone, a grumpy AI, and too much stubbornness, he’s about to start a literary revolution.” Ps: GOAT & The Laggy Prophet is my warm-up act as a writer—a glimpse of my humor and storytelling heart. My true journey begins with the Trinity of Realms, a trilogy of trilogies across three worlds. If you enjoy this ride, walk the path with me on Patreon: patreon.com/Baressi
