You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 322 Flagship Showdown Makes the Whole Industry Crazy! Taoyuanxiang Releases Trailer, Stunning the Whole Network (2 in 1)

[The first trailer for Youyi's new flagship game "Wilderness: Redemption"!]

At the beginning of the trailer, there is a CG of the game's story background. Amidst the melodious jazz music, the scene appears:
"Texas, 1898.

My name is Ed Han and I live in the western United States.

It is the end of the Great Gold Rush, 30 years after the end of the American Civil War, and the land is filled with emerging prosperity and endless opportunity.

I was once a former banker with a sharp mind and calm judgment, but I became a fugitive due to the conspiracy of the Mohei Company - or you can also call me a cowboy who punishes evil and promotes good.

During my escape, I found a treasure map that showed the location of a gold mine and met a group of unusual people:

A bounty hunter galloping across the grasslands, a mysterious priest hiding in the deep valley, and an old friend who was once a companion but has now turned into a ruthless pursuer of the Mohei Company.

This team, each with their own ideas, forged a short-lived cooperation for the common goal of finding gold.

We traveled through the scorching desert, explored the desolate canyons, and even broke into the mysterious Indian tribe. During the journey, I discovered that this beautiful yet dangerous land hides countless secrets.

The closer we got to the gold cache, the more we attracted other greedy explorers, cunning bandits, and ruthless native warriors.

I will have to face various challenges, from peaceful resolutions to fierce confrontations, testing the team's ingenuity and chemistry. As a leader, every decision I make could change our destiny.

In the deepest part of the gold mine, the conspiracy of the Mohei Company finally surfaced, and my companions and I will face a life-and-death battle!

Not only do I have to fight against the enemy's pursuit, but I also have to face internal betrayal and the collapse of the team.

Should I insist on the happiness of my family, or indulge in the temptation of the gold mine? All destinies are determined by my decision and become one with this scorching land!
This is the story of me, Ed Han, an ordinary cowboy. "

After the broadcast reached here, players flooded the screen with comments:
"Fuck, that's exciting! It feels like an American Western!"

"It looks like Youyi Workshop has also upgraded its engine technology. Roll it up, roll it up, hahahaha!"

“The protagonist and his teammates are so handsome, they fit the image of a western cowboy in my mind!
“The historical details of the graphics are very well designed. The R&D team has put a lot of effort into it. I’m looking forward to it!”

"Indeed, compared to the sci-fi style of CrossFire, I prefer this historical adventure style. Every frame makes my blood boil!"

"This jazz music is so flavorful, it's truly comparable to the production of a Western blockbuster!"

Then, the video starts playing the game's actual gameplay trailer:
【Good luck, redemption tonight! 】

After completing the single-player story, you can participate in multiplayer maps with 100 players each.

An interstate train across the western United States will run regularly. You and your teammates can choose to jump off the train at any location, constantly avoiding the shrinking circle elimination and becoming the ultimate winner!
【Westworld Immersion】

"Wilderness: Redemption" will take you into a meticulous sandbox world and experience the Western style of the Gold Rush era.

In the competitive map, you can roam freely, explore supply points, interact with NPCs, and discover various random events.

【Various means of transportation】

In addition to various types of horses, you and your teammates can also drive carriages and hijack trains to expand your travel methods and experience the vastness of the West.

Not only can you steal horses, but you can also train and tame wild horses, build a tacit understanding between you and the horse, and improve the horse's combat effectiveness.

【Enriched hunting system】

You can capture wild animals for food, income, and materials. Choosing different weapons and shooting positions will affect the quality and value of the items produced by the animals.

【Unique revolver aiming system and combat style】

The aiming system allows you to slow down time and mark targets. Different weapons and skills affect combat styles, and the game will provide you with more tactical options.

Bounty Hunting

Although crimes against NPCs will have higher returns, they will cause the state police to be wanted. The bounty increases with the number of crimes. You can choose to evade pursuit, clear the bounty, or spend some time in prison.

【Fascinating time advancement mechanics】

The time advancement system in the game allows you to feel the real passage of life, and different surprises may happen every day...

Now, please put on your cowboy hat, put on your Martin boots, load your revolver, and catch the next train.

A joint effort by Youyi's five major studios!

More development information will be released one after another!

……

When the video ended, the players in the barrage were excited:
"Oh my god, is this still the You Yi I remembered? He's finally standing up!"

"A 100-player elimination chicken-eating game, combined with a western theme, sounds quite interesting."

"This cowboy wants to go panning for gold right now. Is there anyone online to team up?"

"This revolver aiming system looks interesting. Will there be a separate revolver handle for sale?"

"Let's be honest, whether it's the plot or the gameplay, Youyi's new game is not inferior to Longteng's."

"This is a true flagship battle! Just watching the trailer makes me so excited and excited. Hahahaha, manufacturers, hurry up and start fighting!"

After the promotional video was aired, its views soared rapidly at a rate of 180 million per hour!
Longteng Group naturally did not want to be outdone and continued to buy hot searches and traffic for its own games.
In this way, "Crossfire: Heroes of the Counter-Strike" and "Wild Survivor: Redemption" took turns to top the video playback charts of major platforms.
In the evening, the promotional videos of the two games had exceeded 10 million views, and exceeded 20 million the next morning!

With Longteng Group and Liu Group spending money like crazy to buy traffic, the two games took turns to top the Weibo hot search list!
The battle was so intense that players would refresh their screens every few seconds and find that the hot search champion had changed.

The publicity war launched by the two giants has made small and medium-sized manufacturers in the industry tremble.

Someone left a message on the game developer forum:

"Holy crap! Are these two dads crazy? The money they've spent on promotion and marketing in the past two days alone is enough to fund our research and development for several years!"

"We can't afford to offend you... Let's just reschedule our FPS project."

"You guys are lucky that you can change the schedule, but we can't. Our boss watched these two promotional videos this afternoon and asked us to change the track."

Of course, small studios avoid schedules, but some large and medium-sized game companies choose to enter the market as soon as the FPS craze becomes popular!

The day after these two promotional videos became popular, Mileyou announced the sandbox FPS project "project-SH".
According to rumors posted online by internal employees of Mileyou, this game is known as the VR version of the two-dimensional beautiful girl GTA, and is led by the founder Cai Yuhao himself.

Currently, the project has expanded to more than 300 members.

In addition to the games from the two giants, the one that players are most looking forward to is naturally this new game from MiLeYou:
"Cai Miao is leading the team? Then this project is a sure thing!"

"The abyss of Disintegration 3 is almost reaching its limit. Hurry up and give us something new to play."

"But to be honest, if it's still the classic weapon pool, character pool, constellation removal, and big and small guaranteed, I'm almost exhausted."

Originally, other manufacturers were still watching the competition between the two giants.

However, after Mileyou announced its entry, more manufacturers began to follow suit!
Haizhu City Nanshanju has announced the release of the all-platform VR shooting project "Dust White Forbidden Zone" for the second dimension beautiful girl.
Shenzhou Dream Creation World announced the beautiful girl VR shooting project "Kalabiqiu" exclusively owned by Longteng Fantasy.
Jianghai City Dilidili announced its self-developed all-platform VR project "Slude" featuring beautiful girl aerial combat shooting.

……

At one time, more than 30 small and medium-sized manufacturers that received investment announced their entry into the FPS market, and the gaming industry was in chaos!
In the past two days, on the NGA forum, players have been shocked by the madness of the manufacturers:
"Holy crap! In the FPS field, this is really going to set off a melee across the entire industry!"

"Roll it up, roll it up! Hahaha, the manufacturers are rolling inwards, and the players are the ones who benefit!"

"I hope the price of VR gaming equipment can be reduced. Aside from Taoyuan Shenyou, the other two are a bit pricey and not wallet-friendly. ┓(`)┏"

When someone mentioned Taoyuan Township, everyone realized that——

Hiss...yes!
I was wondering why there seemed to be something wrong with the FPS melee these past two days. It seems like an important participant is missing!

What about Taoyuan Township?

Where is my powerful father from Taoyuan Township?
In the VR console launch battle this spring, Taoyuan Township's performance was obvious to all. The three VR games it launched were all top hits, and "My Wife is the Savior" even became popular abroad.

The first flagship game of each console can determine the status and future of a console.
Taoyuanxiang is now one of the top three domestic game console manufacturers. Logically speaking, it should participate with all its strength.

but!
Why didn't Taoyuan Township appear in yesterday's promotional video? What's going on with this company?!

Thinking of this, a large number of Taoyuanxiang fans and passers-by players who were just watching the show rushed into Taoyuanxiang’s official accounts on various platforms.

Then--

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

The updates of all official accounts of Taoyuan Township have stopped seven days ago and have not been updated.

The last update 7 days ago was a repost of a pornographic picture of Lady Blue and White from "Amazing Girls" drawn by a female artist.

The players were immediately defeated:

"Hey guys, everyone else is busy with the game, and you're just reposting obscene pictures. Where's the trailer for your new game? Bring it up!"

"Although I like Lan Baiji very much, you guys are too Buddhist, right? By the way, can I ask where to download the high-definition original image? Slurp~"

"New game, GKD! New game, GKD! New game, GKD!"

In less than half a day, with the help of fans and people who like to have fun, the comments on this post exceeded 2!
……

That afternoon, at Taoyuan Township Villa.

Lu Yu was sitting in a massage chair, legs crossed, eating chips and watching videos. Li Hongmei came over anxiously.

"Boss Lu, this is bad! The players are going to capture us!"

Lu Yu was so shocked that he almost dropped the bag of potato chips in his hand and turned to look out the window:
"What the hell? Players are teaming up and fighting downstairs?" "Well, I mean, the players are going to take over our official account's comment section."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, steadied the bag of potato chips in his hand again, and asked blankly: "Why?"

Li Hongmei was shocked. Wow, as a CEO, the gaming industry is so turbulent, and you don’t know anything?
But on second thought, although Mr. Lu realized it later, he was able to win the battle thousands of miles away every time. This is also the benefit of planning before taking action.

It’s worthy of being called a thousand-layer cake!

After listening to Li Hongmei's explanation, Lu Yu rubbed his eyebrows:

"But we've just launched the project, and we have to spend a lot of time petting cats and resting every day. How can we find time to make a promotional video?"

He thought to himself:
The gaming industry in this world is really booming. The speed at which each of you projects is established and starts is like riding a rocket.

Don’t your employees need to rest, enjoy life and spend time with their families?

What is the meaning of life and death?
Make the boss happier and live a peaceful life for his employees?

……

However, since the players have such strong opinions, Lu Yu thought that he should make a promotional video first.

The problem is that the game project files are still in the state of creating a new folder, and there are no art resources. What should I do?
He suddenly caught a glimpse of the low-cost online drama he was watching, and an idea struck him. He instructed Li Hongmei:
"You are like this..."

three days later.

As players eagerly awaited the news, Taoyuan Township's official account finally released a new update:
Sorry for the long wait, the first trailer for the upcoming FPS game "Codename: Shinkansen," which will be exclusive to Taoyuan Shenyou consoles, has been released!

Players can’t wait to open the video:

At the beginning of the video, a simple real-life train carriage appears.

It was so shabby and old that it looked like a set temporarily borrowed from a stage crew.

Immediately afterwards, the door at the end of the carriage opened, and a heroic, punk-style female police officer appeared.

Zhang Qiqi, who plays the policewoman, has long wavy hair with gently swaying bangs and smoky makeup that outlines her charming eyes.

Her police uniform resembled a spiked denim shirt with holes in the pants, which highlighted her smooth white legs and shiny black leather boots.
The baton in his hand (actually a baseball bat) is printed with flying stars, giving him a rebellious air.

She shuttled between the carriages, holding a baseball bat, looking very domineering.

She first stopped beside the female passenger played by Milk Candy.
Zhang Qiqi said seriously, "Hello, Miss, please show me your ticket and ID."

Milk Candy nervously handed over his ID.

Seeing the gender column, Zhang Qiqi frowned: "Are you...Mr. Niu?"

Milk Candy looked out the window guiltily: "The ticket was printed wrong."

Zhang Qiqi returned the document to the other party in silence.

After walking forward for a while, a wretched fat man played by Chu Xiong rushed towards the carriage with drooling.

"Milk Candy Sister, here I come, hehehehe..."

Zhang Qiqi stopped the fat man expressionlessly: "Passenger, please respect yourself."

Chu Xiong rolled his eyes at the other person and said, "Why are you meddling in other people's business? My favorite toffee ice cream is about to melt. Don't bother me while I'm licking it..."

Before he could finish his words, the other party handcuffed the fat man to the carriage handle.

The camera cuts to a scene where Zhang Qiqi arrives at the dining car and discovers the female passenger, played by Hua Wu, sleeping on the dining table.

Zhang Qiqi: "This is not a place to sleep. We need to persuade her to go back to her seat."

She walked into the carriage.

The screen goes black and a subtitle appears: "One day later"

Zhang Qiqi yawned and walked out of the dining car in a daze.

She approached the bathroom door, sniffed, frowned slightly, and knocked on the door.
"Sir, please don't smoke here."

Zhang Fan's frivolous voice came from inside: "Hey, policewoman, if you have the guts, come in and stop me!"

Zhang Qiqi had no expression on her face. She kicked open the bathroom door, dragged Zhang Fan out and beat him up.

Zhang Fan begged for mercy while being beaten:
"Ouch, ouch, Sister Qiqi, be gentle, this... this is just a promotional video, ouch..."

Amidst Zhang Fan's screams from being beaten, the screen went black and subtitles appeared:
"As a police officer, besides solving crimes, you also need to check suspicious people, take care of passengers, and deal with hooligans and gangsters.
Experience a different train inspection journey with Taoyuan Township's new tour, "Codename Shinkansen."

……

After the trailer ended, the players were completely dumbfounded:
"Wow, what did I see? A next-generation flagship masterpiece from Taoyuan Township? A CG blockbuster turned into a short film?"

"The acting is so awkward, so awkward that I could dig out a villa with my fingers."

"But let's be honest, Sister Qiqi is so cool."

"Taoyuan Township! I'm really impressed by you, Old Six. Isn't this an FPS game? Where's the gun?"

"I'm so disappointed in you. Other manufacturers are working overtime and competing internally, and you have the nerve to come up with this to perfunctorily treat us?"

"You chose to go crazy between releasing a poster and releasing a real game demo?"

"Hurry up and work overtime, operations staff, please post updates more frequently. At your age, how can you even sleep well?"

Seeing the online players urging him, Lu Yu smiled without saying anything.

When he was a producer in his previous life, he also found that some players often criticized their bosses for forcing them to work overtime and lamented the hardship of workers on their homepage dynamics.
But it is precisely this same person who often criticizes game companies for not working overtime, complains about the slow pace of development, and complains about the service being shut down during the day for updates.

To put it bluntly -

Let me work overtime?

No!

Let others work overtime to serve me?

necessary!
……

Seeing the storm of anger raised by online players, the employees in the company were extremely panicked!

But Lu Yu remained calm and sent an email to comfort everyone: "Don't panic, stay calm!"

Liu Mengyuan also left a message in the work group: "Everyone, believe in Mr. Lu's old thousand-layer cake. Mr. Lu must have a deep meaning behind this!"

Jianghai City, Longteng Group Building.

When Fan Langtao saw the newly released promotional video of Taoyuan Township, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve up.

Haha, Lu Yu, have you seen the resource gap between yourself and the big groups and decided to give up treatment completely?

Or... are you trying to deliberately show weakness to your competitors by making a bad promotional video, intending to withdraw from this round of flagship war?
but……

Admitting defeat now? Too late! What were you doing before?

This time I will make you remember it forever!
He called his public relations assistant over and gave him some instructions.

Afterwards, the official account of CrossFire quickly made mockery.

The official account pretentiously forwarded a message from a player asking about the development progress, and said sarcastically:
"We're all working diligently, but we don't have time to make low-quality skits to fool the players."

This repost instantly received a lot of likes and recognition!
There is a trumpet mixed in with the rhythm:
"Taoyuanxiang is a small company after all. It can't come to the fore at critical moments. Only a big company like Longteng can produce blockbuster games!"

……

Jianghai City, Youyi Company Headquarters.

Shi Yi looked at Taoyuan Township being deeply criticized by the players and nodded slightly.

It seems that his position as the head of Youyi family is secured!
"Secretary Wu, your strategy of killing two birds with one stone is really good."

Wu Liang: "I am just picking up shells in your ocean of wisdom, Zhuhai."

Shi Yi nodded comfortably. This flattery was quite authentic!
He asked, "How about we also follow the trend and mock Taoyuan Township?"

Wu Liang smiled and shook his head:

"On the contrary, we should use Youyi's publicity channels to help Taoyuan Township spread this awkward drama.

But you also know that by doing this I am not helping Taoyuan Township, but putting them on the fire, which is even more embarrassing!

We and Longteng, one positive and one negative, will definitely make Taoyuan Township extremely uncomfortable and force it to completely withdraw from the competition.

From now on, we just need to wait for changes in the cooperation between Longteng and Tenghui, and we will be sure to win!"

Shi Yi said excitedly: "Okay! After this is done, I will promote you to Vice President of R&D!"

Thinking of the upcoming promotion, the two men laughed proudly in the office.
