In the Internet age, who still makes traditional games?

As Xu Meng's doubts arose, new information surged forth again—

[Company Owned: Zhumeng Game Network Technology Co., Ltd.]

[Employee Count Exceeds One Hundred, Mission Over-fulfilled]

[Mission: Turn Crisis into Safety]

[Mission Objective: Reverse the deteriorating reputation and revenue of 'Project Frost Snow', and pull the company out of the bankruptcy crisis]

...

The light screen disappeared.

Xu Meng was stunned for a moment, then disappointedly wanted to slam the table—

Isn't this useless?!

2 million is not a small amount.

If he were still in the original world, he would be happy for at least a month.

After all, building a game company from scratch is mostly a studio model, with at most 10 people.

2 million is enough to pay a year's salary.

But at Zhumeng, it only extends life for another month.

More advanced development tools are the same, simply improving work efficiency.

But the problem Zhumeng is facing now cannot be solved in a month or two—raising a failing shooting game to a first-class level within two months?

Isn't this a joke?!

The media and peers have already sentenced Zhumeng to death, and even the players have started lighting candles.

Assistant Chen Mengling saw that Xu Meng's face was unsightly, and thought he was angered by the trending search, and quickly comforted him:

"Boss, don't worry, only two or three people are secretly submitting resumes, most of them are still very loyal!"

Xu Meng looked up at this assistant, and a question mark slowly appeared on his head.

If you can't speak properly, you can just not say anything!

Even you, the general manager's assistant, have heard the rumors, then the actual situation will only be more serious!

"I know, I know, you go ahead and do your work." Xu Meng waved his hand.

"Oh, okay." The little assistant looked worried, but could only leave the office.

Xu Meng then opened his computer with a headache, studying his own 'Project Frost Snow', wanting to see what the situation was and whether there was any hope for salvation.

From the initial project proposal, 'Project Frost Snow' saw that there were no [anime + shooting] type games on the market, and wanted to seize this relatively blank track.

The idea was good, but the final product...

Was neither anime nor shooting.

If you want to call it a shooting game, it doesn't do online multiplayer, doesn't do competition, and doesn't seriously research shooting feel.

It focuses on how to limit player resources, and how to design BOSS and weapon values to force players to spend money.

If you want to call it anime, it didn't put effort into the beautiful girl character design and appearance, but instead created a bunch of nonsensical plots, and even created CP for the male and female characters in the game...

The three female characters with the most screen time at the beginning—Tongque, Heyin, and Xiaoningxi, actually had obvious dialogue showing affection for male characters!

Only Xiaoningxi escaped because she was young.

—Even so, Xiaoningxi also has a close male teacher, Yunfei.

This made Xu Meng's head full of question marks:

Are you sick?

Who designs anime like this?

Others make games to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses, but you promote weaknesses and avoid strengths, using all the dregs, right?

Who else would die but you?!

Xu Meng only felt his blood pressure rising, his head aching.

He suddenly understood why the games he developed in his previous life by riding the wave of popularity were able to succeed.

—Although he rode the wave of popularity, he always thought from the player's perspective when designing games, studying how to design something fun, how to surprise players.

But it turns out there are so many game designers who don't care what players think at all?

What's even more amazing is: now all the geniuses working under me are this type!

Xu Meng was extremely speechless, and even wanted to laugh.

"Good, good, good... so that's how you play..."

The royal road to reversing the game's reputation—relying on hard power to improve the game's quality, don't even think about it, it's impossible in a short time.

"Then I can only... take a gamble."

He's not seen cases of anime shooting games being resurrected.

Although the methods are a bit unsavory, and it's inevitable to be scolded by some moral guardians as vulgar, it's better than the company going bankrupt, employees losing their jobs, and himself having to bear tens of millions in loans.

So he logged into the official account of 'Project Frost Snow', and wrote an announcement while thinking.

...

...

10 minutes later, on the Weiguang social platform.

The official account of 'Project Frost Snow' released an announcement.

Because the bankruptcy prediction of [Game Observation] topped the trending searches, a large number of media and netizens were waiting for 'Project Frost Snow' to respond.

[Game Observation] and the objects of their bankruptcy predictions verbally attacking each other online is also a regular program, which attracts a large number of netizens to watch the gossip every time, and this time is no exception.

The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Now that 'Project Frost Snow' has finally accepted the challenge, the gossip netizens flocked to it immediately.

Then, they saw something completely beyond their expectations—

"Thank you for your concern about 'Project Frost Snow' and Zhumeng Games.

But this little thing is really not worth drumming and calling everyone over.

But since you're all here, in order not to make everyone come in vain, we'll take this opportunity to announce some things.

'Project Frost Snow' has started the re-creation process, and some disclosable changes are as follows:

1. Plot Changes:

All character CP settings will be deleted, and no such content will be produced in the future.

(Note: The writing team is being replaced with new blood, and we sincerely invite game script planners and male-oriented harem web novel authors to join the writing team.)

2. Character Costume Changes:

All female characters will be completely re-dressed, and more costumes that fully display the character's figure and aesthetic personality will continue to be launched in the future.

Male characters who are not related to the main storyline will be deleted, and related characters will also be gender-swapped to female characters.

(Note: We sincerely invite illustrators. All Zhumeng employees warmly welcome beautiful girl doujinshi artists to come ashore!)

3. Rating Increase:

We are very sad to announce—

Due to the character's figure, clothing, and action scale issues after the remake, the rating of 'Project Frost Snow' will be increased from the original [12+] to [18+].

From now on, users under the age of 18 will no longer be able to register.

After the version update, registered users under the age of 18 will also not be able to log in.

A refund channel for minors will be launched within a week.

More change information will be gradually released later, so stay tuned!"

—

Everyone who saw the announcement—whether it was the [Game Observation] editor, industry peers, 'Project Frost Snow' players, or pure gossip netizens, were all shocked.

The same sentence was rolling in their minds—

"What is this operation???"

Can't understand!

Can't understand at all!

Shouldn't you vehemently refute the views of [Game Observation], angrily accuse them of inaccurate data and fabricating rumors out of thin air, demand that [Game Observation] apologize for the losses caused to Zhumeng Games by their erroneous remarks, and threaten to resort to legal means, but in reality, you won't do anything other than make harsh remarks?

—Netizens can watch similar dramas seven or eight times a year, and they are already familiar with them!

Why, when it comes to Zhumeng Games, do you suddenly not play according to common sense??

Not only are you not angry, but you also took the opportunity to issue an announcement?

And...

Do you want to see what you actually posted?!

After the netizens came back to their senses, the comment area exploded:

"The writing team is being sacrificed to the heavens?"

"Good riddance! Serves them right! But what does recruiting harem authors mean?"

"Does this imply that you can open a harem in the game in the future?!"

"I know someone who writes harem novels, writes very well, but has failed three times in a row, and is about to run out of food, @Zhuanlunzhe, come and beg for food!"

"Character gender swap? Awesome! I can only say it's really awesome!"

"Costume change, 18+, doujinshi artists... is this going to be heavily unloaded? Things are getting better, brothers!"

"Genius! Anime games should have learned from hentai early on."

...

...

What was bustling was not only the Internet.

Just one door away from Xu Meng's office, the open office area quickly became noisy.

And the most lively of them was undoubtedly the writing team, who were touching fish and browsing Weiguang during work hours.

As they browsed, they suddenly found that they had been fired...
