Game Development: Starting with Recreating the Anime Game Style

Chapter 201 If he really wants 1 million, I'll eat it.
Wang Jian felt goosebumps all over his body and could no longer care about the half-finished "WEGAME Analysis".

Analysis my ass!!
Fujiko's stock is doomed tomorrow!! It's finished!!

Wang Jian's hands flew to the keyboard like lightning, quickly taking a screenshot of the poster, adding a few lines of his own concise interpretation, and then sending it to several VIP client stock groups he maintained.

His hands were shaking while he was doing this.

This is the kind of excitement that practitioners in the field feel when they see a "major event" happening right before their eyes.

The groups he posted in were all filled with wolves fighting for real money in the stock market.

For the first ten seconds after the message was sent, the group was completely silent.

"Huh? Are they all asleep?"

Wang Jian scratched his head. Logically, this shouldn't be the case. Most of the people who follow their official account and join their paid groups are young novice investors... no, I mean young stock market investors.
They shouldn't be asleep yet.

Just as Wang Jian was scratching his head, an ID named "Pudong Buffett" broke the silence.

"???"

After those three question marks, the group resembled a school of fish that had been startled awake.

"Teacher Wang, is this news reliable? Don't joke around in the middle of the night, my heart can't take it!"

"It's true! It's been announced on the official website and Bilibili!"

"Huh? The game I played this afternoon was that amazing? 1 million in 11 hours!?"

A stock trading group with several hundred members that had been dormant suddenly started refreshing its chat history at midnight, with messages being sent at a rate of more than a dozen per second. Its activity level even surpassed that during the daytime opening hours.

Countless people who were awakened by the "special attention" notification tone went through an emotional transition that took less than a minute, from initial anger and cursing to shock upon seeing the message and then joining in the frenzy.

"Damn it! I had just fallen asleep when my phone vibrated so hard I thought there was an earthquake! It scared me so much I rolled right off the bed! Turns out this was even more thrilling than an earthquake!"

"Screw sleeping! Get up and party!"

"Holy crap, I'm doomed! I just saw Tencent listed on WEGAME today and I even increased my Tencent holdings..."

"Hey bro, let me light a candle for you. If you run fast when the market opens tomorrow, you might just save yourself a pair of underwear."

"I just bought more of my NetEase stock yesterday, so I'm hoping for some good luck! Daddy Star, I love you! I knew kids who play 'Final Battlefront' get the rewards!!"

The atmosphere in the group was a mix of fire and water.

Those who recently bought NetEase stock are celebrating with champagne, because although NetEase is not directly related to this matter, the StarTap channel is clearly a plus for NetEase.

Those who hold Tencent stock felt a chill run down their spines.

The next day, early in the morning

Tencent Building.

WEGAEM's office.

As usual, Zhao Ming walked into the office.

He was in a pretty good mood at the moment. WEGAME was launched on time yesterday. Although it was not a huge hit, the overall effect was quite good under the coverage of Tencent's traffic system.

On the PC platform, there are a lot of PC game gift packs, such as League of Legends and Dungeon Fighter Online, used to attract users.

The Android client has also created crossover gift packs with a large number of games such as Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, and Honor of Kings.

By the time I left work yesterday, the number of downloads had easily surpassed 30 million.

If accounts transferred from TGP and App Store are included, WEGAME also announced yesterday afternoon that it had achieved the "amazing feat" of surpassing 100 million users on its first day of release.

As soon as the press release announcing that he had surpassed 100 million users was released, his friends all congratulated him.

What pleased him even more than the initial success of WEGAME was that yesterday afternoon, WEGAME, representing Tencent, outmaneuvered Xingchen. From afternoon to evening, although FGO was popular in the domestic gaming community, WEGAME, leveraging Tencent's media reach, achieved a significant advantage on a larger scale.

They effectively suppressed news about "FGO" in China.

Therefore, Zhao Ming partied with a group of friends until after 1 a.m. last night and got completely drunk, so he still had a hangover when he went to work today.

But I was still very happy, and I practically hummed a little tune as I walked into the WEGAME office.

On his way to the company today, he was still thinking about writing a report on the launch of WEGAME and enjoying the fruits of victory.

Let's also have a meeting to finalize the next phase of the promotion plan, and strike while the iron is hot to solidify WEGAME's industry position.

As he walked toward his office, lost in thought,

But something strange happened.

When he first entered the department's office area, he could clearly hear loud discussions inside. But as soon as he opened the door, everyone immediately sat quietly at their workstations, as if their internet connection had been cut off.

And almost everyone gave him a strange look before they started typing away on their keyboards like "human-machines".

Instantly, the office lost its "human touch," leaving only the dull hum of the central air conditioning.

Zhao Ming paused for a moment, then glanced at the main creators of WEGAME.

When he came in, these people were sitting on the sofa in the office area chatting. When they saw him come in, they greeted him as usual, but their eyes darted around and their expressions were strange.

"what happened?"

Zhao Ming frowned and walked in their direction.

"You all look like wilted eggplants. Didn't you sleep well last night? Or did Old Ren not approve the budget for yesterday's celebration banquet?"

He usually addresses his superiors as "General Manager Ren," but today he subconsciously called them "Old Ren."

Whether a person is arrogant or not can really be seen from the details.

I made a light joke, but no one responded.

Zhao Ming's heart skipped a beat as he finally sensed something was wrong. He walked over to the WEGAME operations team and sat down on a sofa.

After asking what had happened, the main creators looked at each other in bewilderment.

To be honest, these main creators were really in a bad situation. They weren't sure if Zhao Ming was genuinely unaware or just pretending, so in the end they could only turn on their phones and push the poster from last night in front of Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming took the phone with a puzzled look. The screen was red with gold accents, so arrogant it was almost blinding.

[Global revenue exceeded 100 million within 11 hours of server launch]

Zhao Ming was stunned for half a second, then subconsciously laughed.

"Are you kidding me? 1 million in revenue in 11 hours?"

"Since when did Xingchen start learning our tricks? Just because it's their own platform and no one else can see the transaction data, they start spouting nonsense?"

"Are you crazy? Who would believe this data? Does that brat Chu Chen even believe this poster himself?"

It's like how the US tries to pin its own past actions on the University of Tokyo.

When Zhao Ming saw this poster, his first reaction was, "Isn't this just like the WEGAME account that broke 100 million yesterday?"

As for whether the other party will actually succeed...
He was the first to disbelieve it.

11 hours, 1 million?

If such a game really existed in this world, he would dare to eat his thesis defense live on stream.
