#218 - Is "Eating Simulator" popular again? (2-in-1 order required)
"Damn, this game is just a collection of吐槽之王! Who the hell designed these skills? They're a genius."
"The Feast Simulator is so realistic! It reminds me of going to feasts in the countryside when I was a kid. I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts."
"Hahaha, Little Baozi is always a glutton, no matter what game he plays. Watching everyone enthusiastically eat makes me feel like I can eat a ton of food too, and it puts me in a good mood!"
"So, to be a qualified foodie, you have to have some intelligence. Watching them play so smoothly, I feel like if I went to a feast, I wouldn't even be able to snatch the leftovers."
"So, you have to find hardcore friends to play this game with, otherwise it'll be like Overcooked, and easily turn into a friendship-ending simulator."
"Honestly, the art details in this game are very realistic. It's simply a paradise for foodies! Watching them frantically grab dishes makes my mouth water. I wish we could eat like this in real life."
"It's not just the art; the game's smoothness, gameplay mechanics, and creativity are all top-notch! Peach Origin is awesome!"
......
This live stream clip quickly went viral, and many players downloaded the Peach Origin Illusion Realm game platform, ready to play it themselves.
After the game went viral, many game self-media and game connoisseurs also evaluated "Feast Simulator" from the professional perspective of game design and game production.
《Popular Game Software》:
"In the Hua country's game industry, the small game field is also a fiercely competitive red sea. No game manufacturer has ever been able to make a breakthrough before, but Peach Origin has done it."
"The gameplay of 'Feast Simulator' can be described as innovative and bold, integrating the seemingly ordinary daily life of eating feasts into a massive amount of competitive elements, injecting a fresh breeze into the game industry."
《Game Fan》:
"The playability of 'Feast Simulator' is simply off the charts! Because unexpected events occur frequently during the feast, each time is a new challenge, making it addictive.
Moreover, the game's interaction design is very clever. Players can easily get started, while the in-depth gameplay provides more challenges and fun for advanced players.
In addition, the production team has paid close attention to detail, such as the cutting actions of ingredients and the changes in character expressions, which all demonstrate their pursuit of game quality."
《Electronic Game Times》:
"In terms of social interaction, 'Feast Simulator' innovatively introduces various social cooperation and development mechanisms, allowing players to better interact with others in the game.
In terms of gameplay depth, players need to think about various tactical strategies in the game, how to most effectively grab ingredients, and how to use skills, which makes the game more deep and challenging."
......
Under the crazy hype of various media outlets,
Soon, more and more streamers on major live streaming platforms were live streaming the Feast Simulator,
Because the intrigue between alliances and mutual harm during the feast process is too easy to create live streaming effects!
In the first day after the launch of "Feast Simulator", the game sales exceeded 200,000 copies.
This sales performance also attracted many small and medium-sized game developers.
Some independent game developers, after hearing that "Feast Simulator" was completely made with the Peach Origin Creation Engine, also tried out the game, and after trying the Peach Origin Creation Engine, expressed their amazement at the engine on Weibo:
"I was so excited last night that I didn't sleep all night. How should I put it? Compared to the game Feast Simulator, the powerful performance of the Peach Origin Creation Engine is beyond words, completely surpassing our previous understanding of game engines."
"According to the feedback from the art team, the visual performance displayed by the Peach Origin Creation Engine is simply soul-stirring! Every scene is like a dream."
"Not only the art performance, but the hardware performance call and overhead are so low, which was unimaginable before! Our project team's game demo is very smooth on the Peach Origin Creation Engine, with no lag at all.
Our technical staff initially thought that Peach Origin had made exclusive performance optimizations specifically for 'Feast Simulator', but now we find that our own projects can easily achieve similar results on this engine! This is just great!"
"It's hard to imagine how a newly established company did this. Did their technical staff really cheat?"
......
At this time, in a large hotel room in Xishuangbanna, the temporarily formed Feast Simulator R\u0026D team and the members of the Peach Origin Creation project team were extremely excited.
They all sent various "Hooray ヾ(▽)ノ" congratulatory emoticons in the group.
Seeing that everyone was happy enough, Liu Mengyuan smiled slightly and typed in the group:
"Although I understand everyone's feelings, now is not the time to be arrogant and complacent.
Firstly, the main event of the Heavenly Venerable Cup, the action game development main venue, has not yet started. The open-world action game we developed will compete with Mile You's competing product on the same stage, so we can't take it lightly.
Secondly, we have now completely formed a feud with Liu's Group and Youyi Company. We have finally torn a hole in the monopoly of the Youyi platform, so we must take advantage of the victory and expand this hole to attract more developers to join Peach Origin."
In the company group, some veteran employees such as Li Hongmei and Yao Jun sighed:
"President Liu is right, we were too inconsiderate."
"Don't mention it, I think President Liu, you are becoming more and more like a company CEO."
Liu Mengyuan smiled and shook her head: "Actually, these are not what I thought of, but President Lu."
"President Lu?"
The members in the group were confused.
"That's right, President Lu.
As we all know, our President Lu is an old layered cake. President Lu always has a deep meaning every time he takes us out for team building. What do you think is the deep meaning of President Lu taking us to the village for feast practice this time?"
Xie Ying, a girl in the group, tilted her head and took the lead in speaking:
"I remember that before we set off, President Lu earnestly said to us that he hoped this team building trip would change our values."
"Bingo!"
Liu Mengyuan continued:
"That's right, change our values. So, what do you think President Lu wants to change about us through a week of feast practice?"
Chu Xiong tilted his head:
"Sister Liu, are you trying to say that President Lu means that we should eat early, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with the hot food every meal?"
The others: "............"
"Both right and wrong!"
Liu Mengyuan smiled:
"In the past few days, many employees who claim to be senior foodies can't eat more than those folks and villagers.
This shows that President Lu wants to tell us that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky, so we must be prepared for danger in times of peace and never have the idea of slackness and lying flat!
The other employees echoed with emotion:
"Indeed, after all, the company's usual benefits are so good that President Lu probably thinks we will slack off, so he deliberately encourages us through feasting."
Liu Mengyuan: "In that case, what ideas do you all have?"
Yao Huina, the product manager of the live broadcast team, took the initiative to say:
"President Liu, it's rare that the live broadcast effect of "Feast Simulator" is so good this time. What do you think, why don't we strike while the iron is hot and do a linkage with the Peach Origin Light Year live broadcast platform.
For example, if the streamer broadcasts "Feast Simulator" on the Peach Origin Light Year, they will get special rewards, etc..."
Afterwards, the members of the group began to discuss various linkage schemes:
Offline invitation to feast: The streamer successfully completes the designated achievements in the game during the live broadcast, and can get online virtual food coupons, and the audience can redeem coupons for physical stores on the Peach Origin Light Year platform.
Feast Challenge Night: A regular "Feast Simulator" Feast Challenge is held every week. The streamer invites the audience to participate in the challenge online. Viewers who complete a specific score will have the opportunity to win valuable props or physical peripheral rewards from Peach Origin's games.
Interactive Lottery Conference: Viewers watch the "Feast Simulator" live broadcast on the Peach Origin Light Year platform. Through interactive lottery, lucky viewers will have the opportunity to win physical game sets, signed peripherals, or Light Year platform membership rights.
Hearing these plans, Liu Mengyuan's eyes lit up:
"Nice! Let's do it that way."
Then she praised: "Being able to think of these by analogy, it seems that you have deeply learned President Lu's true teachings."
Soon, Peach Origin Light Year simultaneously launched a series of live broadcast "Feast Simulator" activities on the official website and official Weibo.
The linkage activities quickly ignited the enthusiasm of the entire platform. The streamers actively participated in various creative ideas and challenges, turning the live broadcast room into a feast full of interaction and laughter.
For a time, the Feast Simulator was a big hit!
On the small game competition candidate list of the Heavenly Venerable Cup, the ranking of "Feast Simulator" soared rapidly, stepping on all the small games participating in the competition on the Youyi platform, and directly entered the top of the list!
......
Youyi Company headquarters building top floor, general manager Shi Yi's office.
The outside of the window isolates the hustle and bustle of the city and the neon ocean, while the atmosphere inside the office is undercurrent.
An assistant hurried into the office, holding a tablet computer in his hand, looking flustered:
"General Manager, it's not good, we were blocked by Peach Origin in the small game development festival!"
Shi Yi took the tablet, frowning slightly.
The screen showed the scene of Peach Origin's "Feast Simulator" surging forward on major live broadcast platforms, and the comment area was surging with heated discussions.
In the live broadcast room, the streamers are enthusiastically challenging various tasks, and the audience is enthusiastically interacting.
"What the hell is this?" Shi Yi muttered in a low voice, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
After the secretary reported the performance, he wisely withdrew,
Shi Yi sat in front of the large desk, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, his face looking hesitant and tired.
In the picture, Peach Origin Light Year launched a series of linkage activities with "Feast Simulator", making the live broadcast room very lively,
However, the games that Youyi Company once invested a lot of resources in promoting were overshadowed at this moment.
"General Manager, the popularity of this game has exceeded our imagination, and the Peach Origin Creation Engine they use is also widely praised." The assistant's tone became more and more anxious.
Shi Yi looked calm on the surface, but he was a little dumbfounded in his heart. The large-scale publicity and momentum of the previous live broadcast platform all made wedding clothes for Peach Origin.
The most⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥in⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥first⊥release!
His eyes gradually deepened, and an unspeakable emotion surged in his heart.
This time, he didn't provoke anyone from Peach Origin!
"Peach Origin... are you deliberately going against Youyi?"
The office fell into silence, and only the noise of the city came from afar, forming a strange contrast.
"What should we do?" The assistant asked cautiously.
Shi Yi was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, his eyes firm:
"Report all this to the headquarters of the board of directors, and let the board of directors further accelerate the poaching action against Peach Origin."
......
The third week of team building began, and Lu Yu continued to lead the employees to Dali Ancient City, reluctantly saying goodbye to the villagers.
On the bus, Lu Yu looked at Liu Mengyuan beside him:
"You seem very happy, did you encounter something happy?"
Liu Mengyuan smiled slightly.
Look, you must know everything about the popularity of "Feast Simulator" and Peach Origin Light Year, and you are pretending to be reserved again!
Dali Ancient City is located in the west of YN Province, also known as Yeyu City and Zicheng.
After the bus entered Dali Ancient City, Lu Yu gathered everyone in front of the car and announced:
"Everyone, please relax and have fun. I will cover all the tickets for all the attractions. If you want to eat anything, or want to buy anything, just go buy it. As long as you keep the receipt, the company will reimburse you in full!"
"Hooray!"
The employees of Peach Origin cheered in front of the bus.
At this time, the other tour group members nearby were dumbfounded.
"What, everything is reimbursed?"
They are all self-funded tours, where have they seen such a battle.
It seems that this is a company doing team building, but team building also requires basic principles. The boss of this company is too generous, right?
......
After the ancient city tour began, everyone came to the Literature Building.
This magnificent building is full of rich cultural heritage. The ancient bricks and tiles and mottled moss seem to be telling the story of the precipitation of time.
Lu Yu took the lead in pushing open the simple wooden door, and a long-lasting book fragrance came to his face.
Inside the Literature Building, ancient books are placed on old bookshelves, and the words on the rice paper seem to be telling people about the past glory.
Xia Shangyu, as the tour guide, explained to the employees.
"The Literature Building was built in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. The plaque on the building hangs the "Literature Famous State" plaque inscribed by Yunnan Admiral Pian Tu in the fortieth year of Kangxi, hence the name Literature Building..."
Liu Mengyuan quietly leaned to Lu Yu's ear and said, "I always feel that Miss Xia Shangyu's voice is very low and she is not in a good mood. Is there something on her mind?"
Lu Yu also shook his head blankly.
The group of tourists came to the quiet Wuhua Building again.
This pavilion stands majestically, and the ancient eaves reveal the vicissitudes of time.
Everyone stepped on the stairs, stepping up step by step, as if stepping on the steps of time, slowly rising to the top of the building.
The view from the top of the building is wide, and the distant Cangshan Erhai Sea is unobstructed.
The sun shines on the ground through the carved windows of the pavilion, outlining faint light and shadows.
Everyone took photos in front of this magnificent scene.
【The 100 employees of Peach Blossom Land enjoy the beautiful scenery, their moods lifted, resonating with each other, gaining +800 leisure points.】
Lu Yu stood on the rooftop, the breeze gently caressing his face, gazing at the scenery before him, his heart filled with emotion.
He stood beside Liu Mengyuan and said with feeling, "It feels like time stands still here, giving one a sense of fated tranquility."
Liu Mengyuan took a bite of her ice cream and said softly, "What fate or no fate, my dad always told me since I was little, humans can conquer nature."
This was the first time Liu Mengyuan had talked about her father, and Lu Yu asked curiously, "So, your dad has a pretty high place in your heart?"
Liu Mengyuan curled her lip:
"Not really, that old man is probably enjoying himself somewhere, leaving us orphans behind…
But there's one thing I really admire about him, he insisted on marrying my mom back then."
Lu Yu was taken aback, it sounded like there was a story there.
In the distance, bursts of laughter from the employees could be heard from time to time.
Liu Mengyuan looked at Lu Yu's profile, and then at the beautiful scenery in front of her, and couldn't help but be captivated.
These visitors of theirs now seemed to have become a part of this city, integrated with its history and culture.
Xia Shangyu, who had been fed a mouthful of dog food, coughed awkwardly a few times and continued to explain:
"The Wuhua Tower was originally the state guesthouse of the Nanzhao King. When Kublai Khan, the Yuan Emperor, conquered Dali, he once stationed troops in front of the tower.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the Wuhua Tower was burned down in the war. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, when the ancient city of Dali was rebuilt, a bell and drum tower was built on the old site of the Wuhua Tower, but its scale and pattern were far inferior to…咳咳咳, oh sorry, I forgot my lines."
Xia Shangyu awkwardly held the loudspeaker in mid-air.
Lu Yu turned his head, looked directly into her eyes, as if trying to see some clues from them: "Miss Xia, are you feeling unwell?"
"Oh no, it's nothing."
Xia Shangyu covered up her panic with an awkward smile.
"Oh, if you're not feeling well, you don't have to force yourself. Just tell us, and we can wander around on our own."
Lu Yu smiled and walked away shoulder to shoulder with Liu Mengyuan.
Xia Shangyu looked at the backs of the two, her expression complicated.
She was indeed very upset right now, because just last night, she received another call from the headquarters of the Liu Group, and Liu Lan gave her an even more urgent task.
