2: Chapter 002 The Eastern Meat Grinder of World War II
Feeling the countless memories in his mind, Zhou Yang revealed a smile; with these memories, making a game would be simple.
The people of Huaxia in this world had never experienced that kind of desperate war.
Many people were indifferent to war.
Now, he would turn the Battle of Shanghai from his past life in Huaxia into a game and bring it to this world.
Let them experience the cruelty of war.
At the same time, let them appreciate the heroic deeds of the Huaxia ancestors who surged forward one after another, sacrificing their lives without fear.
With these memories, he could completely finish making the game within these two weeks.
The AI in this world was very powerful; it could produce content based on the user's imagination. There was nothing it couldn't do, only things you couldn't imagine.
Game developers in this world did not lack production capabilities; what they lacked was creativity.
Zhou Yang could recall all these memories in his mind just by thinking about them, just like a humanoid computer.
In particular, Huaxia had a unified official entertainment creation platform where all necessary materials could be purchased.
Besides that, as long as you spent money, you could use the AI freely, the computing power was sufficient, and there was no need to worry about AI copyright infringement.
Most of his predecessor's thirty million had been spent on this platform.
He had bought a pile of materials, but in the end, he hadn't used many of them.
Even the AI production functions purchased were the best available.
The computing power was maxed out.
This was also one point that made Zhou Yang feel very relieved.
Fortunately, it was all spent on the entertainment creation platform.
If it had been spent on wining and dining, he would be completely lost right now.
Afterward, he continued to focus his attention on the system.
At this moment, he suddenly discovered an Emotion Store in the top right corner.
Opening it, he saw many items in the store.
Basically, they were all the full production contents of entertainment works from his past life.
Besides that, there was also a custom content item.
But without exception, these things required the system currency called Emotion Points.
Subsequently, Zhou Yang checked the method to obtain Emotion Points.
The method of acquisition was very simple; he only needed to make the players playing his game experience emotions to obtain them.
These emotions could be happiness, anger, or even shock and fear.
Not only playing games, but watching the movies he produced or listening to the music he produced could also earn him Emotion Points.
Seeing this, he immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Isn't this very simple? Once players witnessed the cruelty of war in the game, wouldn't the Emotion Points come in by the handful?
He immediately closed the system panel.
Then he got up and left the bedroom.
Arriving at the guest bedroom, there was a virtual capsule there.
Games in this world were basically virtual reality games.
Not to mention anything else, the sense of realism and the experience were maxed out.
However, Zhou Yang did not open the virtual capsule; instead, he picked up the virtual helmet on the table nearby.
This helmet was for his work.
Using it, he could log into the entertainment creation platform.
Zhou Yang put on the helmet, and after a bout of dizziness, he entered the game production platform.
The experience of this virtual helmet made him feel somewhat intrigued.
Previously, he had really wanted to experience such games, and now that he had the chance, he was actually making them.
Because he had the memories of his predecessor in his mind.
Regarding the use of the entertainment creation platform, Zhou Yang was very adept.
In order not to waste time, he immediately threw himself into game production.
There were still two weeks until the competition started.
But it was impossible for him to actually spend two weeks to finish the game.
Because the game still needed internal testing and promotion.
If he participated in the competition directly without promotion, it was estimated that no one would play it by then.
Let alone whether he could become famous.
What Zhou Yang needed to produce first was the game CG.
The game his predecessor produced was called Star Wars, intending to let players experience the cruelty of interstellar war.
As a result, the steps were too big; he had only completed one-tenth after working for two months.
That CG was also made very hollow and pretentious.
Although the scene of warships bombarding each other was magnificent, it was not much different from those interstellar games on the market.
To summarize in one sentence: there were no highlights.
Hanging on the company's official website homepage, it had only been viewed by a few thousand people over the past few months.
Using the entertainment creation platform, Zhou Yang spent one day producing the CG.
Looking at the new CG in the creation platform, Zhou Yang immediately replaced the CG his predecessor had hung on the company's official website.
Now, when he saw these CGs from his predecessor, he felt very ashamed.
How could he have made such a pile of crap?
The content of that CG didn't show any shadow of anti-war propaganda at all; instead, it displayed the war aesthetics of warships bombarding each other.
After replacing the game CG, Zhou Yang immediately sent this CG to Yang Ruoxue.
Yang Ruoxue hadn't even watched it yet when she sent a question mark to him.
"What is this?"
"A new game CG."
"Are you kidding me? Do you mean you want to make a new game?"
"The money is all spent; do you have money to make a new game? Don't you dare tell me you need more money." Yang Ruoxue's messages bombarded him directly.
"And there are only two weeks left; is it too late for you to make a new one?"
"Trust me, Sister Yang, I will definitely be able to give you an answer by then. I wouldn't joke about going to jail." Zhou Yang replied helplessly.
He owed Yang Ruoxue thirty million.
If he couldn't earn this money back by then, he might really be sent in by Yang Ruoxue.
"Fine, I believe you. Handle it yourself; I hope you can finish it in these two weeks." After Yang Ruoxue finished speaking, she had already given up hope in her heart.
Making a new game in two weeks.
How is this possible?
Zhou Yang hadn't even finished one game in the previous two months, let alone having only two weeks left.
After chatting with Yang Ruoxue, Zhou Yang did not continue to waste time and turned back to immerse himself in game production.
For the remaining time, except for eating and sleeping, he could not afford to slack off at any other time.
...
On Douya Live, the largest livestreaming platform in Huaxia.
A million-subscriber game streamer, Zhou Xiaoyi, was looking for trash games.
Thanks to the Anti-War Competition, the game creation industry in Huaxia was unprecedentedly prosperous.
Anyone with an idea would run off to make an anti-war game.
But there were so many people in Huaxia.
How could everyone make a good game?
Trash games were inevitably the vast majority.
As a middling game streamer with a million followers, she usually relied on livestreaming trash games to create content.
"Brothers, you guys should find me a few trash games. Right, don't find those that are too trashy. I've eaten too much shit, I want to eat something good for a change." Zhou Xiaoyi said with a smile to the audience in her livestream room.
"Got it, got it. Sister Yi, I recently found a game that claims to have an investment of thirty million, has been in development for two months, and still only has one CG. Let everyone have a laugh."
"Where is it? Let us take a look. What does this 30 million big-production CG look like?"
Seeing the message sent in the bullet comments, Zhou Xiaoyi also became curious immediately.
"What's it called? Share it with me, I'll go take a look."
"It seems to be called something like... Star Wars."
"Star Wars? What kind of name is that? It's too cliché."
"Yeah, can you even find it if you search for that name?"
Just at this moment, Zhou Xiaoyi received a message in her private message inbox.
Clicking to open it, it was exactly the link sent by that fan.
"Brothers, wait a moment, I'll click the link and see what it's like."
Subsequently, she clicked the link and immediately jumped to a webpage called [wwii: eastern meat grinder].
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoyi and the audience in the livestream room were all stunned.
