Chapter 52: Kitchen Mobilization? What kind of pirated stuff is that?
At the same time that the PV for "Overcooked" was released across the internet, many people noticed—
Does this insomnia game never run out of creative ideas?
impossible?
As a result, many game developers started to come up with their own clever ideas.
Haters are just part of normal business competition; you'll get used to it.
Gamers outside of Donghuang couldn't believe that game companies would fight each other in such a large place as Donghuang.
That's not all; the level of infighting among Donghuang's game players is no less intense than that of business battles.
But none of that matters!!
Inside the Aurora game, Director Yan felt a chill run down his spine and trembled.
However, the comments section was bursting with laughter at this moment—
Hahaha, this game looks like it'll be really fun!
[It looks so cute to play, I can't resist!! I really want to play!]
[Dude, this game is for couples! Is it really appropriate to push it to a single guy like me?]
[Dude upstairs, this is a hint that you'll find a partner soon!]
【From Chunxi Road? That's fine too, but you need to be a little gentler~】
[Pfft—Dude, have some mercy, lift your butt up a bit, hahaha!]
This world is NOT fair!
The joking "hahaha" comments are still going strong.
However, the images in the PV did not disappear.
Besides the promotional PV, there was also an awkward little office skit inserted behind the scenes of this PV.
These are all digressions.
Ji Yuan stared at the PV footage, his face extremely grim, downright ugly!
A promotional PV!!
And in the promotional PV, there's a short, awkward skit that the producer himself starred in!
This is absolutely unbearable!!
Looking at Director Yan's innocent expression, Ji Yuan was truly furious.
I can't take it anymore! Seriously, I can't take it anymore!!
Looking back at PV, Ji Yuan shook his head helplessly: "Since the acquisition is out of the question, it's not going to work out."
"I'm not leaving."
"Your task now is to immediately issue an announcement declaring that our kitchen party game is coming soon!"
"Hurry up! I'm giving you a seven-figure development fund, not for you to stand here reporting this nonsense!"
"Hurry! Go!"
The development of Aurora Games' Overcooked Kitchen is nearing completion.
After all, they thought it was just a small game, and the investment was not much. They didn't even spend seven figures to create the game demo.
It's all about layer-by-layer exploitation and kickbacks.
This is normal for a large company.
Director Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that although Ji Yuan was angry, he didn't intend to fire him.
Who knew that people playing insomnia games could be so shameless?
They actually plagiarized a game that only exists in a novel?! Seriously.
After returning to his office...
Director Yan then began to act arrogantly, taking advantage of the situation.
As the current director of Aurora Games, he has always considered himself superior.
He turned on his computer and looked at the name that was now blacked out.
He fell into deep thought.
"Damn it, I gave him ten thousand yuan, hoping he'd smuggle out some inside information about the insomnia game, but he wouldn't!"
"You should at least give me back the ten thousand yuan!!"
For Director Yan, ten thousand yuan is really nothing.
But this guy took 10,000 yuan from me and didn't give me any information at all!
Even as a professional manager, he felt like he had been scammed!
Tap tap tap tap, Director Yan typed text rapidly on the keyboard.
At that moment, Shen Huaizhou, who was engrossed in the insomnia game, saw a message sent from his friend list.
[What's wrong with you? Didn't I pay you ten thousand yuan to get me some core data for the new insomnia game?]
[You were just bragging about having access to the inner circle, weren't you? Where's the information?]
[Other people's page views are all over the internet, where's your key information??]
This was followed by a dozen or so increasingly aggressive questions.
Shen Huaizhou, who had just finished work, stared at the screen, speechless. He moved his fingers.
Then, Director Yan, who was at Aurora Games, suddenly saw a refund notification for 10,000 yuan!
[xxx is refunding you 10,000.00 yuan]
Holy crap!!
"You son of a bitch!!"
Before he could finish his swearing, the other party quickly sent him a link!
That's a download link for a game on a steampunk platform!!
Here's the inside scoop, free for you. Downloading it costs money.
After sending the message, Shen Huaizhou smiled and then blocked the other party.
Director Yan had no idea what the other party's mindset was after sending the message.
At this point, he was about to explode.
For some reason, out of curiosity, he actually opened the game.
"Insomnia Games' latest title, the multiplayer co-op party game—Overcooked—has launched with a bang!"
"This game will be launched globally on all platforms in three days!"
The moment that line of text appeared, a flash of anger suddenly appeared in Director Yan's eyes!
asshole--!
How dare you play me like this! Do you really think I'm an idiot?!
Grass!
Who gave you permission to be the first to release this! Who gave you permission to be the first to release this across all platforms, globally! Who!!
……
That afternoon, the promotional PV for Aurora Games' party cooking game "Kitchen All-Stars" was urgently released across the entire internet.
Although I didn't catch the exhaust fumes of the insomnia game.
Although they failed to seize the initiative, the similar themes and similar publicity timing still successfully stirred up public opinion.
However, public opinion is quite different.
[Aurora has also made a kitchen game? A head-on collision with an insomnia game? That's so audacious!]
[Hmm...this promotional video is off, it sounds more like a cooking tutorial!]
[It looks quite exquisite, but why does it feel like... they're seriously trying to teach me how to cook? Is this what I want?]
[Let's download and try the game when it comes out; maybe it'll surprise us?]
Forget it, the trailer gives off such a righteous vibe, it's too serious and boring. I'll wait for Overcooked in three days.
[Without comparison, there's no harm done. The insomnia thing is just nonsense, while the aurora thing is a full-scale mobilization... It seems like they've already lost in terms of momentum (watching the drama unfold)!]
But more often than not, it's a tug-of-war.
[This is garbage; the insomnia game must have been the first to plagiarize!]
[Where did you copy from? Point it out to me. Isn't it obvious who copied whom? I really don't know what you pig-brains are thinking.]
[Is Aurora Games plagiarizing? Aren't many of their games like this?]
【That's it! 】
[Our market for aurora borealis is right here; if you don't understand, then shut up!]
The discussion was very intense, and the post was even published in just half an hour.
It made it into the top three of Weibo's entertainment trending topics!
Even Shen Huaizhou, who was typing away at the time, saw the news.
#Aurora Games' brand new title, "Kitchen All Day," makes its grand debut! Going head-to-head with "Overcooked!"#
