Chapter 53: Let's make a mess in the kitchen and get started!
Three days passed in the blink of an eye!
Amidst the overwhelming barrage of "GG" messages from Aurora Games, even though it was the last day before the release of "Overcooked," the entire internet's trending topics and push notifications were almost entirely dominated by "Overcooked."
The number of players who pre-registered for this "All-Out Mobilization" game across the entire network exceeded five million in just three days!
Below that is a whole bunch of data about traditional pre-order delivery of kitchenware, ingredients, and so on.
Three million pre-orders is a devastating blow to some smaller manufacturers.
Facing an industry giant like Aurora head-on, the pressure Insomnia Games has endured over these three days is unimaginable.
But is that really the case?
NO NO NO!!
Insomnia Game Studio, Product Development Department, Game Testing Area.
Hu Huchen slumped in his office chair with a look of utter despair, facing several colleagues who also looked dazed and exhausted.
It's no exaggeration to say that he's been in charge of the testing phase since he took over the development of Overcooked.
Every single one of them ended in chaos, with friends breaking up and game controllers being smashed.
Today was the happiest day he had had in recent days.
No other reason than that Overcooked will be available on Steam at noon today!
It was simultaneously launched on other mainstream domestic game platforms at 6 PM.
This means—
He is finally free!
That way, I won't have to suffer from my teammates anymore!
"My friends, the hard times are over."
Hu Chen straightened up, supporting himself on the armrests of the chair, his voice filled with the relief of surviving a close call:
"From today onwards, the responsibility of testing rests with the players."
"Notify the operations center to closely monitor public opinion and provide positive guidance."
At this moment, Chen Qingshan walked over.
He smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Old Hu, you've worked hard."
"It's not that it's hard... it's mainly mentally exhausting."
Hu Chen couldn't help but wave his hand, but then he couldn't help but laugh.
"But Lao Chen, I'm truly impressed by President Shen's imagination."
"I can already predict what a sensation it will be on all the major live streaming platforms after the game is released."
"Just thinking about this makes me want to laugh."
"hey-hey."
"Who can argue with that?"
Chen Qingshan smiled and turned his gaze to Shen Huaizhou's office: "Old Shen seems to have unlocked his full potential lately."
Through the glass window, one can clearly see the scene in Shen Huaizhou's office.
Shen Huaizhou sat in front of the computer screen, his expression somewhat tense.
His ears seemed a little red; clearly, he was flushed.
Beside him, Su Jianxue was gripping the handle, her body swaying unconsciously from side to side, muttering to herself.
Talented and playful, he attempted to influence game characters using physical methods.
I can't carry him, I can't carry him. That guy, Lao Xue, is really bad at the game but loves to play.
"Ugh! I'm not playing anymore!"
Su Jianxue suddenly slammed the game controller down on the table, her voice filled with frustration:
"What's so fun about this game! These interactive items are ridiculously overpowered. I'd rather play my 'Getting Over It' game!"
"Idiot producer!!"
She blurted it out angrily.
However, the words had barely left his mouth when...
She looked at Shen Huaizhou with an embarrassed expression.
My neck feels stiff, like I've got a stiff neck.
Those big eyes blinked, instantly overwhelmed by embarrassment and unease.
Oops!
Forgot about the person in front of me, it seems, perhaps, maybe...
Is that the idiot producer himself?
"That... Huaizhou!"
Su Jianxue quickly switched her expression, flashing an overly sweet smile, and her voice softened instantly!
"Are you tired? Are you thirsty? Would you like coffee or a Coke? I... I'll go get it for you!"
"..."
Shen Huaizhou didn't speak, but silently turned his head away.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.
Su Jianxue's smile vanished completely, and her fingers unconsciously twirled the hem of her clothes.
Finally, Shen Huaizhou decided to let this guy go, a slight smile playing on his lips:
"No need. Director Su, you should rest for a while and recover your strength."
No, it seems like I'm being mocked.
But it seems like it wasn't completely ridiculed?
Can this be tolerated?
The next second, Su Jianxue decisively left the office without looking back, her departure clean and efficient.
……
Noon, in Dousha's live stream, gaming section!
"Guys! First release! First release! I've already downloaded the game!"
"Let's give it a try first, and then see who we can play this game with."
Chen Dazhuang, without saying a word, directly purchased and downloaded the game from the Steam store.
"I am a top-tier player in Human: Fall Flat! Watch me carry your character!"
"It's just a co-op game! I'm totally confident this time!"
Seeing that someone was going to test the poison on them, the comments section erupted with cheers.
[A stunning debut, a stunning first play! Zhuang Ge is invincible without teammates!]
But I have a chill running down my spine.
Although it's a cooperative game, I think as long as your teammates don't mess up, there won't be any problems.
[Quickly call Peach, Brother A, and the others to come over! Tomato is also welcome.]
[Tsk, are you trying to ruin him?]
Hopefully this game is fun. I've already bought it and don't want to get a refund in two hours.
[Are the works in the Insomnia Game series generally okay?]
That's true, but I didn't expect their fourth game to be a cooperative one.
Ding--
As soon as the game was installed, Dazhuang double-clicked the game icon without saying a word.
Unlike most games on the market today, Donghuang's games are different.
The works created by Insomnia Games have already generated a wave of popularity in today's market.
In just a few months, they developed three amazing works.
The Binding of Isaac and Human: Fall Flat, in particular, saw their popularity skyrocket to the top of the Steam platform's online player count in a short period of time thanks to their modded gameplay.
The multiplayer online gameplay also adds to the entertainment value for many overseas gamers.
It is said that The Binding of Isaac alone has already sold a million copies.
This is fantastic news for the domestic game market.
I wonder what kind of surprise this Overcooked game will bring them.
"Wu-hu-!"
As soon as the game installation package was installed, Dazhuang took a deep breath.
As he spoke, he clicked on the game icon, and then the screen went black.
After the familiar logo of the Insomnia Game Studio appeared.
Then we officially entered the game—
[Game Title: Overcooked]
[Game Type: Multiplayer Online, Casual]
Developer: Insomnia Games Studio
[Game Background: The Onion Kingdom is in crisis, and only the best cuisine can save it!]
In Overcooked Kitchen, players must hone their skills in various harsh kitchens to become culinary masters and defeat the ancient ghouls of this plague-ridden land.
