Chapter 60: Is this game a covert advertisement for the Ministry of Civil Affairs?
At this moment, Aurora Games is still fiercely debating how to develop the game "Kitchen All-Star"!
The show "Overcooked" completely shattered their perceptions!
A simple cooking game can actually be done like this?
This put the entire product development department of Aurora Games into deep thought.
"How could this be? How could a food-themed game develop such gameplay?"
"That shouldn't be the case... Shouldn't this kind of game be like our Kitchen Party?"
"Why is there a racing mode?"
The gameplay of Overcooked Kitchen is not as complicated as they thought.
Although it's also a multiplayer interactive game developed by Insomnia Game, it's not the kind they envisioned.
Simulation management?
No, this game has absolutely nothing to do with simulation management games.
However, their game "Kitchen All Day" was positioned as a simulation game from the very beginning.
Who the hell would classify a game as a simulation game?
This show, Overcooked, is totally messing with me, it's making fun of me!
Damn it! You author of "Insomnia Powder," couldn't you at least write out the specific gameplay details?!
Now, the development of "Kitchen All-Out" is progressing smoothly and steadily.
but.
It probably won't live to see the players.
"Xiao Li, how were the stats for Overcooked yesterday?"
Director Yan from the Operations Department arrived and stared at the front of the line for quite a while.
"Director Yan?"
"Hmm, it's alright, you can continue working."
"Director Yan, last night, Hu Nao Kitchen's live stream occupied the top three spots in the gaming sections of multiple video platforms, including Douyin, Douyin, and DiliDili."
"Sales of the steam engine platform also jumped to second place last night."
"By this morning, we had already reached number one in sales."
Upon hearing the report, Director Yan felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
You're something else, Overcooked!
You're being ridiculous! This isn't how you make games! Shouldn't you keep releasing more of Human: Fall Flat?!
You shouldn't be releasing a second or third version of Isaac!
Why do you have to create a new game?! Why do you have to come up with completely new gameplay?!
Damn it!
……
At the same time that Director Yan received the news that the game "Overcooked" had topped the charts, he was unable to sleep!
However, a game made it into the top three of the trending topics on Weibo!
This sparked a lot of discussion among the viewers.
#This game is addictive! After playing this game, my girlfriend drained me dry all night!#
That was information posted on DiliDili by a blogger named Miaowujiang and her boyfriend about their daily life.
It only gets tens of thousands of views on this site, but after being sliced and edited...
Within a short period of time, it went viral on major platforms.
This immediately attracted a lot of attention!
Holy crap! You can't believe it??? Bro, I really feel sorry for you. It's just a game, and you've been drained dry all night?!
Could you share your thoughts?
Brother, are you still alive?
[Tsk tsk! Poor brother, turns out this is a smuggled advertisement for the Ministry of Civil Affairs.]
[Damn! I was thinking of hanging out with my girlfriend, but now that I see this, I'm really too scared.]
There are more and more trending topics on Weibo.
There were those who stirred up the atmosphere, those who fueled the fire, those who joked around, and a large number of real players.
After learning the news, they flocked to Weibo to spread the word.
For a time, this was supposed to be just a minor news item in the top three of the entertainment section.
It detonated instantly.
It dominated the top ten trending topics on Weibo, with eight of them related to "Overcooked".
Are you kidding me?
It's just a kitchen game, a small game from an unknown game developer.
How did it garner so much attention?
[To be honest, this isn't a veiled advertisement. I'm a pretty bad player, and my girlfriend beat me up all night.]
[Pfft, hahaha, buddy, how can you be so bad?]
Brother, farewell. I will take care of your wife and children.
Is this game really that fun? Are you kidding me?
Is this not?
As the public opinion grew, the focus of these netizens shifted to the interaction between the couple.
Insomnia Game Studio.
Inside the chief producer's office.
Shen Huaizhou stopped typing, chuckled, and let out two satisfied burps.
Then, I logged into the official Weibo account of the insomnia game.
I typed in some text and simply posted the message:
"Dear gamers, please don't just focus on the interactions between couples."
"Don't forget, you can also play this game with your roommates or best friends."
"Friendly reminder: Unless it's a relationship that's at least ten years old and unbreakable, you must keep your mindset stable."
"Games are fun, but please don't let them cause any deaths!"
The word "human life" was highlighted in large brackets.
Then he sent a cheeky smiley face.
A trending topic that was originally without any problems was turned into a disaster by Shen Huaizhou's actions.
The decisive and direct approach once again drew the players' attention.
Even those who don't play this game are now being bombarded with the words "Overcooked" in their faces.
Is this game really that fun?
An idea instantly popped into the players' minds!
The phrase "fooling around in the kitchen" seems to be branded directly into their hearts.
Even players who had never played the game saw it trending on social media.
Casual fans.
They were all deeply attracted by these four words.
Especially when I saw the official Weibo account of the insomnia game, they actually put the words "human life" in curly braces.
[Honey, I've finished all the chores around the house. I washed the socks and underwear, I knelt down and scrubbed the floor spotless, and I washed all the dishes. I've never seen this before, it looks so fun! I love it! Can you buy me one? @18cmHunkyMan!]
[18cm tall hunk: No problem, just wash up, same place again tonight!]
[Pfft! You guys upstairs are acting weird, aren't you?]
[Sister-in-law, same here, can I play the game? I promise I won't tell my brother @GardeniaSeason]
[Gardenia Season: If you treat me well tonight, I'll play this game with you until tomorrow morning!]
The people of Donghuang understood immediately.
He directly forwarded this Weibo post.
Shen Huaizhou, who had just finished eating, was browsing through these Weibo posts.
The smile on his face never faded.
The people of Donghuang who understand everything in a second, does that mean I, Shen, am still a pure and innocent boy?
