188: Chapter 188 New Game Release

On the other side, the closed beta had ended.

Zhou Yang was reviewing the game issues reported by players during the closed beta.

There were quite a few issues with the game, and a large portion of them were valuable.

Besides that, there were many suggestions made by players, and Zhou Yang read through every single one of them.

Some suggestions were good, and Zhou Yang decided to adopt them.

For example, one player suggested he release an International Server so that people from other countries could also play the game.

Originally, he hadn't had this idea; after all, the game's content was quite controversial.

If he really released it, wouldn't Japan come over and intentionally leave bad reviews?

Furthermore, to set up an International Server, he would need to establish servers in other countries.

This was also a troublesome point.

Being already quite busy, he decided to just skip it after thinking about how troublesome these things were.

However, now he had changed his mind; the game was almost finished.

He happened to have time to handle the International Server matter.

If there was anything he didn't understand, he could also ask Yang Ruoxue for help.

After reading through all the game feedback, Zhou Yang stretched his sore back.

The International Server matter could wait a few days; the game customized by the officials also needed to be put on the agenda.

The official funds had already arrived in his account two days ago.

The speed of the payment exceeded his expectations.

Since the officials had paid so quickly, he certainly couldn't slack off.

The faster he finished it, the better impression he could leave on the higher-ups.

As for the subject matter to choose, Zhou Yang originally had multiple options in mind.

Half of these options were famous battles from the history of China in his previous life, and the other half were from other battlefields of World War II.

However, after thinking for a few days, Zhou Yang ultimately chose a war involving China.

Among them, the one that best demonstrated the will of the military was none other than the one fought at the beginning of the founding of China in his previous life.

It was that war which verified the saying: "Strike one punch to avoid a hundred."

That war produced the strongest light infantry on the surface of the earth and created many impossibilities in human history.

The will of the military was concretely embodied in this war.

Whether it was the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, the Battle of Triangle Hill, the Battle of Chorwon, or Samso-ri, these battles all demonstrated the unparalleled willpower of the Chinese military.

This willpower was a will of steel, using flesh and blood to forcibly withstand a torrent of steel.

It wasn't that other battles didn't demonstrate it, but this battle was simply too brilliant.

The China of his previous life already possessed a torrent of steel; combined with a will of steel, one could only hope that the enemy also had a will of steel.

Zhou Yang had long since redeemed all the information about this war.

Having accumulated points for so long, redeeming these things was more than enough.

Since he was going to do it, he would make all of it.

Let the China of this world witness the world's strongest light infantry, and let the Chinese military of this world experience the battles that the strongest light infantry on the surface of the earth had once fought.

...

Zhou Yang quickly threw himself into his work.

After taking over the film production, Yang Ruoxue also began to get busy.

Besides that, Zhou Yang threw extra work at her: sorting out the matter of the International Server.

This problem was not difficult for her.

She just needed to contact some friends abroad.

As long as the money was sufficient, she didn't need to do much work at all.

Just like that, a month passed quickly.

During this month, Yang Ruoxue finished filming the first movie.

For this first movie, Yang Ruoxue chose the Battle of Shanghai.

After finishing the first one, the second one, The Rape of Nanking, was also in production.

Her plan was to follow the chronological order of the game's background.

To film all those major battles.

Even if she couldn't achieve a 100% recreation, being able to recreate seventy or eighty percent was enough.

Besides that, the matter regarding the International Server for the new game had also been settled.

As soon as the game was released, there would be no issues with the servers.

During this time, Zhou Yang polished the Pacific War, and the official customized game, War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, was also almost finished.

This was his progress without rushing; if he had sped up, it would have been finished by now.

Inside the villa in the Imperial Capital, Zhou Yang walked out of his studio.

Arriving on the first floor, Yang Ruoxue was watching a livestream.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang immediately walked over with a smile and said, "Sister Yang, it's great that you're here. I was just thinking about talking to you regarding the new game release."

Hearing Zhou Yang's voice, Yang Ruoxue immediately snapped out of her focus on the livestream.

"New game release? Is the game polished and ready?"

"Yes, it's no problem. We can start the game's marketing campaign," Zhou Yang nodded.

"Alright, I'll arrange it right away."

After saying this, Yang Ruoxue turned off the game livestream.

She immediately went to get busy.

That same day, the news that the new game was about to be released hit all the major trending searches.

The game's release date was set for two days later.

The pricing for this second game was not very expensive.

Zhou Yang continued with the same pricing as the first one.

For the players, this price was considered quite cheap.

After all, compared to the games from Yiteng Group, Zhou Yang's pricing was truly conscientious.

When the game's marketing began, Zhou Yang also changed the game's pre-release status on the platform to pre-order.

At this moment, major streamers who were live, upon learning that the new game was open for pre-order, all rushed to pre-order it.

"Brothers, does this pre-order come with freebies? It includes a pre-order medal, and this medal is actually quite cool."

Inside Wang Ye's livestream room, he browsed the game's pre-order page.

The content displayed was the same as during the closed beta, but it had an extra International Server.

Seeing this International Server, Wang Ye was a bit curious.

"Brothers, this International Server should mean exactly what it says. We can play with foreigners."

"If that's the case, then it will be interesting. I really want to see players from Japan and MeeLeeSoft fight each other; just thinking about it is fun."

The audience in the livestream room heard the Netizens' comments and all agreed wholeheartedly.

"Yes, yes, yes. Listening to you say that, Brother Wang, I can already imagine how interesting it would be."

"What if we play Story Mode? If Japan players are also the attacking side, are they fighting themselves?"

"Good heavens, if that's really the case, wouldn't the people of Japan have a mental breakdown?"

"They'd have a mental breakdown even without that."

"No, I have to play on the International Server. If I go up against Japan, it will definitely be interesting."

"Count me in. There's nothing fun about the domestic server; if we're going to play, we should play on the International Server and beat up Japan."

Seeing the audience's comments, Wang Ye felt the same way.

What's fun about the domestic server? Playing ranked matches is just against our own people.

Going to play on the International Server and fighting foreigners is the fun part.

"I suggest the developers release a national war mode where players from the same country are matched together."

"That could work. I don't want to get matched with Japan."

"I feel like they could also organize tournaments. If this were turned into an esports tournament, it would definitely be very interesting."

Seeing this, Wang Ye couldn't help but exclaim that these fans really had a lot of ideas.

But every one of these ideas spoke to his heart.

"Did the developers hear that? Follow these suggestions, and the game will definitely be a hit—no, it will be even hotter than a hit."
