Chapter 76: A Storm Caused by a Butterfly

What? Aurora is going to make a zombie game too? Are you kidding me?!

[First recharge of 6 yuan, get a free Gatling gun! First recharge of 18 yuan, get a golden Gatling gun!]

[Are you kidding me? Do they even know what fighting zombies is? Do they know what a "Musou-style" (unrestricted, high-stakes) gaming experience is? Seriously, stop messing around.]

My ex-wife had a baby behind my back? Huh?

[So you're just jumping on the bandwagon because the Left 4 Dead trailer went viral, huh?]

[I know the tricks. It's definitely related to microtransactions. Otherwise, why would they suddenly add these guys to a PVP game?]

The game "Reversed Wars" has attracted a lot of attention by developing a zombie-fighting mode.

Aurora Games, Product Development Department.

"Director, how did it go? Did President Ji approve our proposal?"

As soon as Director Yan returned, his subordinates crowded around him.

"well……"

Director Yan sighed. It was indeed not a good thing to take the proposals from the team members and ask for credit.

But there's nothing we can do. If we can't play, we'll just pay them an extra month's salary.

Having just returned to the product development department, Director Yan tidied himself up a bit.

Then I went to my workstation in the development department.

"Everyone, CEO Ji has instructed us to develop a zombie mode for 'Reversal War' before 'Survival Road' goes live!"

"In addition, President Ji has given this mode a brand new name: Biohazard Mode."

"All employees, work overtime!"

"An extra month's salary!"

Raiguang Games Studio.

After seeing the message posted on Weibo by Aurora Games, President Shu's lips curled up slightly.

Sure enough, I hadn't misread it.

Insomnia Studio has once again sparked a new wave of activity.

This also led them to change the direction of their new game development!

"Mr. Shu, here is the latest project list from the development department."

"Um?"

General Manager Shu picked up the latest project list from the development department and looked at it carefully, after the baptism of the Insomnia Game.

The development department is addressing changes to the previous development process.

"That's right, Mr. Shu."

"Left 4 Dead, judging from the information provided by Insomnia Studio at the East Asia Game Show, is a cooperative survival game."

"So, after optimization, our team modified the original project!"

Mr. Shu carefully reviewed the project report results before him.

It's clear that their initial development goal was to create a postmodern apocalyptic mobile game!

It also focuses on a combination of PVP and PVE gameplay!

However, this gameplay doesn't seem to differ much from other MMOs currently on the market; it's just that the martial arts theme has been replaced with a post-apocalyptic one.

With the unveiling of the development model for Left 4 Dead, the project team immediately adjusted its operational approach and model!

"Is it primarily a multiplayer cooperative camp-building gameplay?"

President Shu looked at the report in front of him and nodded slightly.

"Yes, Mr. Shu, the brand new operational direction focuses on a wasteland cooperative survival gameplay."

"Within the game, players are guided to help each other overcome the harsh post-apocalyptic environment through camp construction, map exploration, resource gathering, and more..."

"Combining PVP and PVE modes as the main approach."

"Hmm, that's more interesting."

Imagine a post-apocalyptic wasteland fraught with danger, where only a portion of the population has evacuated to a safe zone.

However, there are still a large number of survivors in the world.

These people are left behind in a dangerous area. What do they need to do to survive in this wasteland?

Stick together for warmth!

Not only that, they also have to face all sorts of dangerous monsters in order to survive and obtain resources.

Set up a camp and survive together.

"I also think the game's name needs to be changed."

"Mr. Shu, do you have any comments?"

The other side is called "The Road to Survival" because their worldview is about escaping from a post-apocalyptic world, and all the monsters along the way are experience packs for them.

This game actually makes people band together for warmth and support!

How about we call it "Tomorrow After"?

"After surviving, tomorrow is the next day, so I think this game could be renamed 'LifeAfter'."

……

Insomnia Game Studio.

"Huaizhou, both Heilong and Gangzi's game studios have already released information."

"Reversal Wars introduces a brand new biohazard game mode."

"And Gangzi's Thunder Light Studio has also confirmed the name of the new game: LifeAfter."

Chen Qingshan, Su Jianxue, and Hu Chen were all gathered in Shen Huaizhou's office.

The speaker was Su Jianxue, whose voice carried the air of a mature and sophisticated woman.

But no one in the office treated her like a mature, sophisticated woman.

How does this guy resemble the mature woman in any way?

Shen Huaizhou wasn't surprised when he heard the news, after all, this survival journey was just like Resident Evil.

It ushered in a completely new era.

Many zombie apocalypse games in later generations almost all have a Left 4 Dead background.

"It's okay, I wasn't planning on eating this cake by myself anyway."

"As long as they can make games that players like, isn't that enough?"

"Instead of defending against them, we should optimize our own game."

"By the way, Lao Hu, have you figured out how to collaborate with M-Zone's virtual machine on that 'Paper Wedding Dress' project?"

"That's about it, Mr. Shen. Do you have any further thoughts on the paper wedding dress?"

"Ugh—"

Shen Huaizhou nodded and took out an A4 sheet of paper from the drawer and handed it over.

"Here, I wrote a song for this wedding dress. I haven't decided on the background music yet, so I'm leaving it to you."

Can you write a promotional song for a new project while writing code for Left 4 Dead?

Hu Chen was completely dumbfounded.

No, Mr. Shen, are you really that talented?

Not to mention Hu Chen, even Da Chen and the other two were completely dumbfounded. Huai Zhou can write songs?

How is that possible? Isn't this guy a code fanatic?

He should have absolutely no interest in humanities-related projects, otherwise wouldn't that contradict his public persona?

Only Su Jianxue squinted, staring intently at Shen Huaizhou.

A chill ran down Shen Huaizhou's spine.

Soon, the second promotional trailer from Insomnia Game Studio was released!

As the second trailer was released, Shen Huaizhou's fingers landed on the keyboard.

"I've already written about the plots of recent business wars and game expos."

"If I write any more, it will just be filler content."

"Next, we should add the paper wedding dress and include this background music as well."

"He's a plagiarist, copying games is plagiarism, copying songs is plagiarism too!"

Da da da da.

With the sound of the keyboard, characters appeared one by one in the writer's assistant.
