154: Chapter 154 New Game Promotion
It is hard to leave one's homeland.
These elderly people feared that once they left their homeland, they would never be able to return.
Not to mention that many of them could not withstand the bumps and hardships of the evacuation journey.
"Zhou Yang, I'm tired of watching this livestream. When are you releasing your new game? I want to play it."
Yang Ruoxue sighed.
She was the type who got bored easily.
She didn't lack food or drink, nor did she lack money.
She could afford everything she wanted to buy, and she didn't have much desire for things she couldn't afford.
"Soon, Sister Yang." Zhou Yang smiled helplessly.
Time flew by, and another week passed.
During this week, Zhou Yang added to and polished the content of his second game.
For this second game, Zhou Yang wanted to make it an online game, not just a single-player one.
Unlike the first game, which focused on the story experience, this second game, the Pacific War, was all about kill, kill, kill.
The island landing battles were kill, kill, kill.
The naval battles were also kill, kill, kill.
Making it an online game would definitely be much better than a single-player one.
However, in the end, he chose to make online play the primary focus and single-player secondary.
After finalizing most of the content and polishing the game, the second game was ready for promotion.
Naturally, this task was handed to Yang Ruoxue.
Yang Ruoxue certainly had the capability for the job.
Moreover, promoting the game wasn't difficult.
Currently, the hype for this second game was already at an unprecedented high.
The previous buzz hadn't faded either, maintaining a steady, moderate level of interest.
Once the official website of Ruoyang Interactive Entertainment released the announcement and promotional CG for the new game.
The Netizens who had been following the new game immediately spread the news.
The first to react were the online self-media outlets, followed by major media organizations that also began reporting on it.
Even the state media reposted and reported on the matter.
Yang Ruoxue was scrolling through videos and ended up seeing the one posted by the state media.
The content of the video was exactly the new game announcement she had just posted on the company's official website, and even the video footage was the new game's CG.
This video had a very high number of likes, reaching several million.
And taking a look at the timestamp, it had been posted just half an hour ago.
In just half an hour, it had already received so many likes.
The advertising effect was much better than if she had invested money into it herself.
Yang Ruoxue hadn't expected that the state media would advertise her company's game.
Although her family background was powerful, she didn't have the ability to get state media to advertise her company's game for free.
But soon, Yang Ruoxue realized what was happening.
This must be the authorities' support for Zhou Yang.
As long as it was a game made by Zhou Yang, the authorities would support it.
Support like posting a promotional video was far more effective than just giving money directly.
Soon, the hype for the second game ignited the entire Chinese internet once again.
Less than a month after Zhou Yang's first game, the second game was about to be released.
This speed of releasing one game a month was incredibly fast, even with the support of virtual creation technology.
This left peers in the industry completely baffled.
Especially Zhang Yida of the Yiteng Group.
When he scrolled across this news, his first reaction was disbelief.
Then, it was suspicion.
When he opened the official Ruoyang Games website, he had to believe it.
In less than a month, someone else's second game was about to be released.
Zhang Yida's expression was rather grim.
Zhou Yang alone could match dozens of people in their studio.
Although one person's work efficiency could indeed be very good.
But human energy is limited, and one person cannot work twenty-four hours straight.
If the workload is heavy, one person simply cannot handle it.
After all, one person is not omnipotent.
Yet, Zhou Yang seemed to have shattered their perception of reality.
One person was worth an entire team of theirs.
Could it be that Zhou Yang had a complete game in his head? He didn't even need to think; he just made it.
Zhang Yida couldn't understand it.
After putting down his phone, he took a deep breath.
He didn't believe that Zhou Yang could complete this game in a month alone; he must have been working on it for a long time.
It is possible to make a game in a month, but that requires enough manpower and excellent coordination.
And the game's scale must be small.
A hundred-person team under him had once spent a month making a game that wasn't very large in scale.
He had also played Zhou Yang's first game, and the scale of that was not something one person could develop in a month.
Even if their team were to do it, it wouldn't be easy to develop.
The time required would be at least several or even a dozen times longer.
If all of Zhou Yang's future games were produced at this speed.
Their Yiteng Group's gaming business would inevitably suffer a major blow.
But fortunately, what gave Zhang Yida some comfort was that Zhou Yang's games seemed to be all war-themed.
They couldn't compete in this area, but there were no competitors in other types of games.
Although they lost the competition, it didn't shake their core market.
...
At this moment, Wang Ye was livestreaming.
He was teaming up with several streamers for a collaboration.
These streamers were all new and trending on the platform recently.
Among them were Zhao Jin, who could hand-craft poison gas bombs, and Li Qingfeng, who could hand-craft full-automatic rifle production lines.
As well as Qian Fei, who could hand-craft bullet production lines.
The reason for collaborating with them was naturally to try and craft guns and bullets in the game, and then counter-attack the Little Devils.
At this point, they had been in the game for three days.
Under the call of Wang Ye and these streamers, most of the players on the server had been gathered together by them.
They transported materials, built factories, and assembled production lines.
They even volunteered to act as workers, producing firearms and bullets.
Among them, the most mature technology was the full-automatic rifle production line.
With mature technology, one production line could produce fifty full-automatic rifles per day.
However, the output of the bullet production line was quite pathetic, with a daily output of three thousand rounds.
This output was really too little.
Even if they laid down a few more production lines, it was still pitifully low.
This output wasn't even a fraction of what the front line consumed.
Of course, this was the output assuming sufficient raw materials; if raw materials were insufficient, the output would be even lower.
Everything was because there was too little time.
"Sigh, I'm numb. There's not enough time. If there were enough time, the Little Devils would be nothing." Qian Fei stood in front of the production line and rubbed his head, feeling a massive headache.
Wang Ye listened to his complaints from the side, feeling the same way.
"Sigh, if there were enough time, this production line could be improved further, and the output could go up." Qian Fei sighed again.
"There's no way around it; this Grand Battlefield mode has too many restrictions and only gives us this much time." Wang Ye shook his head as he said this.
"What do you guys think, if we tried to retreat from Jinling directly, and ignored Jinling, so that everyone doesn't die, would we be able to stay in the Grand Battlefield mode forever?" At this moment, Li Qingfeng, who was on the side, suddenly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, it was as if a bolt of lightning had pierced through the chaos in Wang Ye's mind.
Li Qingfeng's words suddenly reminded him of something.
