My game is depressing worldwide.

When the mental hospital studio came to Mingcheng, Yu Xiaoming naturally hosted them throughout the visit.

After sending the three people back to their hotel.

Zhou Qian and Shen Qingtu did not return to their own rooms, but went to Chen Xuan's room instead.

Although Yu Xiaoming is a rich second-generation, he has good family upbringing and does not have the habit of being extravagant. During his three years of university, it was not apparent what his family background was like.

However, at this point, they are willing to spend money.

Chen Xuan had a suite, which was chosen because it would be more convenient for him to hold meetings or discuss projects.

The other two were a level below, but still not cheap.

"I still think you were a bit impulsive," Shen Qingtu said, crossing her arms. "There are two major problems you can't avoid."

"I know!" Zhou Qian raised his hand, "The quality of the script and the target audience!"

"...You should go draw circles in the corner instead." Chen Xuan sighed, "Senior, you can ask."

"First of all, there's the issue of the publishing license." Shen Qingtu said with a pained expression, "It's a spy thriller, you know. It's not like 'To the Moon,' which is easy to get approved and obtain a publishing license."

Many players have a misconception that only online games and games requiring continuous operation need a game license.

Legally speaking, any game that is made available to the public via the Internet needs to obtain a game license.

On Earth, obtaining a game license is much easier than in Chen Xuan's previous life; many game genres can be released almost without any effort.

However, certain topics still require a considerable approval time, which is part of the risk.

This is mainly for the healthy development of the industry, to prevent a large number of controversial themes, pornography, political injustice, gambling, and reskinned games from proliferating.

Even so, every year many games are more than halfway through development, but are canceled due to licensing issues.

"Well, I already have a plan, but I still need to consider it further."

"Are you going to get something for free again?"

"Comrade Shen Qingtu, you are questioning my character!"

"Alright, alright, second question." Shen Qingtu said with a straight face, "Have you considered how to promote it? We can't just have another iwanna speedrun challenge, can we? You've already offended Tianshuo, the number one publisher in China."

"Next Saturday night," Chen Xuan said mysteriously, "You didn't know that date, did you?"

"The Game Committee's semi-annual selection of outstanding independent works..." Shen Qingtu suddenly realized, "Indie games that win awards there can receive featured placement on the official platform as a reward."

"bingo~" Chen Xuan snapped his fingers.

"So, you're still just getting it for free?"

"My operations team, which I'm so proud of, is just seen as freeloading in your eyes?"

Knowing that Chen Xuan had a plan in mind, Shen Qingtu breathed a sigh of relief.

She really enjoys the feeling of constantly challenging herself with different types of games.

She would be very sad if the mental hospital's workshop closed down.

"Oh, right, there's something else serious." Shen Qingtu's expression became much more serious. "Recently, there's been a lot of negative public opinion about 'To the Moon' online, which may affect subsequent sales."

"Negative public opinion? About what?" Chen Xuan frowned slightly.

No way?

There are no major bugs, no sensitive topics, the story is completely fictional, and it's a love story.

How could this generate negative public opinion?

"Some people believe that 'To the Moon' stigmatizes people with autism, trivializes their suffering, and carries an outsider's arrogance, thus creating deep-seated stereotypes about people with autism."

Chen Xuan: ?

Are you sure you're talking about "To the Moon" and autism?

Not Cyberpunk 2077 and Cyberpsychosis?

Zhou Qian took a bag of snacks from his room, leaned back on the sofa, and ate with relish, mumbling, "It's just some attention-seeking content creators making baseless accusations. Don't worry about it, it'll all calm down in a while."

Chen Xuan pondered for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "Something's not right. This is clearly an attempt to kill someone, not the kind of public opinion that content creators create randomly."

In the internet age, the most terrifying and deadly thing is having your stance and position questioned.

One's attitude toward vulnerable groups can also be considered a stance.

There's really nothing else to criticize about "To the Moon," so we can only start from this aspect.

"Damn it?! That can't be right." Zhou Qian sat up abruptly. "But we're innocent!"

"The person who wronged you knows better than you how wronged you are." Chen Xuan glanced at Zhou Qian. "For the time being, you should not participate in the preparation of 'The Invisible Guardian' and focus on paying attention to public opinion."

"Okay." Zhou Qian knew the importance of this matter and nodded seriously. "I'll register a new account and infiltrate the fan groups of those content creators to collect some evidence and see if I can lure out anything."

"The preparation and filming stages of 'The Invisible Guardian' will require your help and mine."

Shen Qingtu nodded: "No problem, but you need to reimburse 648 yuan as compensation for emotional distress."

"Did the minimum guarantee go wrong?"

"Um."

...

...

It's the afternoon of the 8th.

Mr. Xiao Meng skillfully found two Pixiv favorites pages in his bookmarks and opened them.

After confirming that there were no new developments on either side, he let out a puzzled "Huh?"

"Are you really that patient? Not even a reply? Are you planning to let it go?"

The ID name on the page is "Producer Chen Xuan". His latest posts include a repost of the news about the establishment of "Asylum Studio" and a repost of the news about the release of "To the Moon".

He has already posted three videos during this period, and each one has become more popular than the last.

Of course, he didn't skimp on the rice either.

More than 7 yuan.

This is quite rare for a new UP like him who hasn't been active for long.

"Ha, what good does it do to cower in the dark?"

Mr. Meng chuckled, opened the fourth video he had prepared, and checked it one last time.

Still no response! As a long-time fan, I am extremely disappointed with Asylum Studios.

"As a die-hard fan of Asylum Studios' first work, 'iwanna,' I am truly disappointed. Producer Chen Xuan, I want to question you."

Who gave you the audacity to stigmatize patients and trivialize suffering? Do you find it delicious to profit from human suffering? How can you face your fans who have supported you all this way?

The collapse of the mental hospital's workroom was actually foreshadowed as early as the Iwanna era...

Finally, I hope that the Asylum Studio can recognize its mistakes as soon as possible and issue a public apology!

I'm Mr. Xiao Meng. Making videos is hard work, so please give me a like, comment, and share to support me. Thank you everyone.

no problem.

release!

Mr. Xiao Meng is very confident in his video.

Through the gradual build-up of emotions in the previous videos, this video finally ignited the players' emotions completely.

At the same time, it allows you to cultivate a personal image and make money without any problems.

In just ten days, he has already gained 20 followers.

It can be said that it grew very fast.

"I refuse to believe there won't be a response after this video was posted!"

Mr. Xiao Meng hummed a song as he opened the QQ group.

[Mr. Xiaomeng (Group Owner): @Everyone, the new video has been posted. Please like, comment, and subscribe! Thank you!]

This immediately garnered a lot of responses, and the topic quickly shifted to Asylum Studios, a game studio that had previously received little attention.

It's a bit of a pity about Mr. Xiao Meng.

You can chat all you want, but keep posting lewd pictures!

There's nothing in this world that's addictive, legal, and beneficial to physical and mental health.

Then it's just a big thunderbolt.

At that moment, a message in the group caught his attention.

The profile picture was incredibly abstract, and the nickname was even more baffling.

[Pure Love Bull Warrior: Holy crap, guys, Chen Xuan came to our company to discuss a new project collaboration, just three days ago!]

The group chat immediately erupted in chaos.

[Holy crap? Bro, tell me more]

[Your company is really carefree.]

[You still have the leisure to play this game?]

[Pure Love Bull Warrior: This is classified, buddy, I absolutely can't say this]

Mr. Xiao Meng was immediately excited.

This person has been in the group for a while and participates quite actively, often posting NTR-themed comics.

If we could find out about the Asylum Studio's new projects, wouldn't that be a great achievement?

The boss who paid him to do so must be very happy.

So I didn't hesitate to add them as friends.

[Pure Love Bull Warrior: ?]

[Mr. Xiao Meng: Bro, are you serious? Do you have any proof?]

[Pure Love Bull Warrior: Believe it or not, there's no evidence. I'll get into trouble if I post this nonsense.]

[Mr. Xiao Meng: That's not what I meant.]

[Mr. Meng: I can offer you some financial compensation; you just need to tell me what kind of people work for your company.]

[Pure Love Bull Warrior: The boss is a female programmer, and there's also a somewhat handsome level designer]

A question mark slowly appeared above Mr. Meng's head.

This matches what the boss said about the personnel composition of the mental hospital's workroom.

But isn't that level designer supposed to have a big head and a thick neck?

There are video recordings available online.

Where is he handsome?

Those who are just observing the situation are unaware that there is a female programmer in the studio; she has never shown her face.

Information should be accurate.

[Mr. Xiao Meng: Dude, send me your bank card number.]

[Mr. Xiao Meng: But this information isn't worth much money, you know what I mean?]
