Creating a zombie in a mountain village terrifies players worldwide.

Chapter 22 O5 has sent out a notification!
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, as players completed the game, the popularity of Chu Renmei gradually faded.

Once the initial excitement wore off, the forums were no longer filled with strategy guides and discussions, and streamers, after recording their walkthrough videos, moved on to other popular games.

After all, traffic is king.

However, Lin Shu was lying on the sofa in the haunted house at this moment, with a satisfied smile on her face.

"Three months, a full three months."

"Finally finished adjusting the game, it was really not easy."

Looking at the messy haunted house in front of her, Lin Shu felt as if she had been liberated and breathed a sigh of relief.

The Ju-on arc is finally finished.

The dubbing files were sent the day after the contract was signed.

That university student team completed the text in 18 hours.

Overall, the dubbing files were acceptable; Lin Shu didn't find any major flaws.

Aside from Kayako's low growls and strange cries, which made him fight back six or seven times, it just didn't sound right no matter how he listened to it.

He was finally satisfied with the final draft after revising it many times.

According to the studio manager, the voice actor's throat swelled up from working on this so-called 'bubble voice,' and he had to take a day off to rest.

Lin Shu simply smiled at this.

He really liked the responsible CV professional and said he would like to collaborate with them again in the future.

Afterwards, based on the total duration of the dubbing and re-dubbing, he paid 2900 yuan, and the transaction was completed.

Then, Lin Shu immediately began the implementation process.

Before him lay Kayako, covered in blood, her throat emitting the low, guttural growls of the voice actor.

To be honest, it did give me goosebumps.

Beside her stood a high school girl without a chin, also covered in blood, her empty eyes staring blankly ahead.

Today, Lin Shu personally experienced the entire process of "Ju-on" chapter, which took him a full 10 hours.

Of course, these 10 hours mainly included his various 'daredevil' attempts, as well as adjustments to game details and gameplay.

It was like playing and modifying at the same time, so it took a lot of time.

During this process, he tried his best to put himself in the player's shoes, to simulate the various crazy moves that players might make, and then designed some corresponding feedback to give players a little surprise, like 'the developers already guessed you would do this'.

The entire "Ju-on" arc takes about 4 hours to complete.

However, for players playing for the first time, it may take about 6 hours to complete the game.

Players with limited free time or those who are less skilled at the game will probably need two or three days.

In short, the content of the 'Ju-on' arc is enough to keep players entertained.

At this moment, Lin Shu got up from the sofa, and in developer mode, his body passed through the floor and sank straight into the ground, arriving at a small laboratory below.

This is the modeling project he outsourced for 2000 yuan: a laboratory located beneath a haunted house.

"We've received the outsourced scene models, and we've also secured the necessary promotional channels."

"We still have about 10,000 yuan left in the crowdfunding campaign. We hope this game can help us regain our fame."

As Lin Shu spoke, she walked down the dimly lit corridor of the laboratory.

The scene here is small, about the size of a basketball court, with all sorts of unidentifiable experimental equipment, workbenches, and pipework filling the rooms, creating a cold, industrial feel.

This scene was added by him; it wasn't in the original movie.

His reason for adding it was quite simple.

If we're going to make horror games, let's go big. Starting with "Ju-on," we'll expand the world-building, connecting classic and niche horror elements to create our own horror game universe.

Just like Assassin's Creed and The Conjuring universe.

This underground laboratory was the first step he took into his terrifying universe.

"Now that the game's popularity is gradually declining, it's time to update and launch an update to bring players back."

"But this time it can't be free. After all, I've put so much effort into it, and added new scenes, new voice acting, and new storylines. If it's free again, I'll be a philanthropist." "So the price... considering the size of the game, if it's too high, people will hesitate and give up. If it's too low, it won't be fair to my efforts and will seem cheap."

Lin Shu opened several gaming platforms and checked the prices of many games.

I compared the size and quality of my own game and weighed the pros and cons repeatedly in my mind.

Ultimately, the price was set at 99 yuan.

The third chapter will not require any further payment.

The price is neither too high nor too low; it's affordable for students and also within reach for working professionals.

If the price is set too high all at once, it will inevitably be criticized for being greedy.

Therefore, this price is the most suitable.

"The game is done. Next, we'll release a gameplay demo video to let players see that new content is coming."

Lin Shu moved her fingertips, and two virtual screens appeared before her eyes.

The above are the Tianwang video platform and a social platform called 'Vbo'.

He skillfully logged into his Skynet account—'O5'.

In the Skynet world, each person can only have one account.

Once you complete real-name authentication, it's basically valid across all internet platforms, so you don't need to register separately on different platforms.

So he posted the demo on a video website and started waiting for it to be approved.

Then he posted another notice on Weibo.

The title is: [The second chapter of the horror game "The Victim's Tape" is here! The 'Ju-on Chapter' is here! Experience the terror of ghosts firsthand in 360°! New storyline and new scenes await your exploration! Friend, are you brave enough to give it a try?]

After finishing, Lin Shu logged out of SkyNet, stretched, and her stomach rumbled at just the right moment.

"I've been so busy I've forgotten to eat. I should go and satisfy my hunger."

After saying that, Lin Shu smiled, shook her head, got up, and walked out of the rented room.

At this time, it is 8 PM in China.

As soon as Lin Shu sent out this notice, it was quickly discovered by editors of some game news websites, who then promptly reposted it on their own websites, starting to attract a massive amount of traffic.

Among them, the disaster relief community is not to be outdone, or rather, it acts even faster!

In less than half an hour, Lin Shu's notification was reposted verbatim to the game section, pinned to the top, and given an attractive title.

[Breaking News! A new trailer for the horror game "The Weird Videotape," which has streamers screaming for their lives, has been released! Explosive and terrifying content! Call your most hated buddy and watch it together!]

At this moment, there are still quite a few players surfing the internet, and they immediately perked up after seeing this post.

A creepy videotape has released a teaser!?

Explosive content? Thrilling and scary?
Holy crap! I'd better take a good look at that!
So, the players opened the post with great anticipation, their expressions filled with excitement.

The community editor was quite considerate; instead of expressing their own opinion, they simply posted the developer's original text, making it clear to everyone.

Original post:

Dear players, hello.

Thank you for playing my game and for your strong support, which allows me to have enough time and money to carefully polish the game's quality.

The new content released this time is Chapter Two, which is set in Japan. The game is still in Early Access.

But rest assured, the content of Chapter Two is very complete, and it could even be played as a standalone game on its own. It will not end poorly.

In addition, considering the funding and time requirements for subsequent development, I had to make a decision: starting from Chapter 2, the game will adopt a paid model.

The game is currently priced at 99 yuan. Players who purchase the game will receive all subsequent updates for free and will not need to purchase them separately.

Meanwhile, to thank the players who participated in the crowdfunding, please send me a private message with your record, and I will give you a Chu Renmei figurine as a gift.

Here, the developers assure everyone that the new content will completely overturn the 'Village Corpse Chapter' experience, giving you the ultimate horror! The ultimate chills! And the ultimate thrill!
Therefore, we ask for your continued support.

O5, the individual developer, is extremely grateful!
