Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 348: The Resort Launches! I Think I Might Have an Id
Being human is out of the question.
Eggs are randomly collected.
Winning the competition is absolutely necessary.
Amidst a chorus of curses calling him a 'bastard'!
Ultimately, Ayin erged victorious with 13 colored eggs, overwhelmingly defeating all competitors and rightfully becoming this year's Egg Festival champion in Stardew Valley!
"Holy shit! We're so damn aweso!"
Ayin and his Cousin celebrated their triumph.
However, just as the two were celebrating, they heard a click sound as the door to Ayin's livestream room suddenly opened.
"...Hold on a sec, Cousin,"
Ayin paused the ga, then his voice moved away from the microphone:
"What's up, Nana?"
"You're still not done streaming? It's already half past midnight," Nana's voice ca from the room.
"Ah, not done yet, what do you need?"
Ayin nodded and asked.
Nana chuckled lightly: "Nothing much, just ca to check on you. The kid and I are going to sleep first then."
"Okay, you go ahead and sleep," Ayin waved his hand: "I'll be done in a little while."
A little while.
As everyone knows, typically the definition of [a little while] is about a few minutes, or the ti it takes to smoke a cigarette, or the duration of a al—in short, not very long.
But!
If this person is playing Stardew Valley and says 'I'll do sothing in a little while,' then you better pay attention.
Because their "little while" could very well be the equivalent of a "little while" on the wave planet from Interstellar.
Actually, this isn't Ayin's fault.
After all, there are just too many things that need his attention in Stardew Valley.
The strawberries at ho were just planted, and each seed costs a hundred bucks—I need to check the returns, right?
The day after tomorrow is Haley's birthday, and she's quite pretty, plus she's the town's rich beauty—I should go pay her a visit, right?
I heard KomiVendi supermarket recently started promoting mbership at old man Pierre's grocery store—I need to hurry up and restore the Community Center, right?
Oh right, I also made an appointnt with Robin to help build a chicken coop, need to work on it tomorrow, and also go buy so baby chicks.
Also, Cousin ntioned finding small ponds while mining and wants to try fishing there—apparently the aquatic products vary by different water areas.
Plus, this morning I saw the two kids Jas and Vincent near the sewer entrance—they said the sewer key is with Professor Gunther at the museum, which ans there are explorable areas in the sewer too—I need to find a way to get in and check it out.
So many things waiting for to do!
So many places waiting for to explore!
Not saying we need to explore everything in one night, but at least let's do everything we can!
And so!
Ayin's 'little while' turned into—
"Wait a little while, let finish watering then we'll get off..."
"Wait a little while until Robin cos then we'll get off..."
"Wait a little while until the seedlings sprout then we'll get off..."
"Wait a little while until I buy the baby chicks then we'll get off..."
"Whoa, there's a rchant cart selling premium goods today, wait a bit let check it out, then we'll get off after I'm done..."
"Wow, it's raining today, wait a bit until Cousin finishes fishing his stamina away then we'll get off..."
"...Just wait a little longer..."
"Wait a bit..."
Finally!
As Nana pushed open Ayin's door once more, an unbelievable soft scream suddenly erupted in the livestream:
"Bro!!! It's three-thirty!!! What are you doing? Still not off? Didn't you say you'd get off in a little while?!"
"Ah?"
Hearing this, Ayin also jumped:
"What ti... holy shit three-thirty?!"
Looking at his wife's stunned and sowhat angry face, then looking at the Stardew Valley calendar on the screen.
After a long, awkward silence, Ayin suddenly opened his mouth and said sowhat sheepishly:
"But... tomorrow is the Flower Dance festival, let finish this event then I'll get off, how about... just... just wait a little longer?"
"I'll wait for your fucking grandson—!!!"
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Explosive laughter!
The viewers in the livestream were laughing hysterically:
'Redefining [wait a little while]'
'This wait turned into three whole hours'
'Yin Calendar [one wait] = three hours'
'This ga is such a ti killer'
'So addictive hahahaha feels like there's always sothing to do, never enough ti to finish everything'
'The Flower Dance is Stardew Valley's specialty, can't miss it'
'Oh no, Old Thief isn't just murdering our wallets now, he's starting to murder our ti too'
'Now I know why they didn't make a motion-sensing pod version—probably afraid soone would spend their entire life in the pod...'
'HAHAHAHAHA hard to disagree'
'Holy shit, if Nana hadn't announced the ti I wouldn't have noticed it was 3:30!'
'Wait? 3:30? If I'm not mistaken... tomorrow is Tuesday, right?'
'Ah?'
'I... shit...'
'Huh? Friends who have work tomorrow, why aren't you laughing anymore? Is it because you don't like to laugh?'
'Fuck! Shit! We have a project eting tomorrow—!!!'
...
Ti-killing demon!
As they say, you don't know until you try, and once you try it's shocking!
Players never expected that Stardew Valley, which most of them hadn't paid much attention to before, could be so incredibly addictive!
Farming, logging, livestock raising, exploration, mining, participating in festivals, pursuing romance...
This is practically a pixel-art style utopia!
From the mont you swing that hoe, countless gaplay possibilities you never even imagined co flooding in, dazzling and amazing!
Yes!
Amazing!
After all, this is a parallel world!
Before Stardew Valley, no one could have imagined making gas like this, and no one could have thought a farming-based ga could be so fascinating and irresistible!
This is a completely new ga genre.
This is an unprecedented new gaming experience.
Apart from calling it 'amazing,' players seem to have no other words to describe it!
Even Simon, the chief review editor of SNG, tweeted the next day—
[...I originally intended to review and score this ga because it's utterly captivating! But when I ca to my senses, I found I couldn't score it because I have no reference point! This is an entirely new ga genre, sothing even Golden Wind has never released before! This... I can only say one thing—it's so fun it feels almost magical!!!]
"...to the point that I played until 4 am, sorry boss."
That day!
Fang Ge stood sowhat unsteadily in the office, wearing black-frad glasses that made his dark circles appear even darker, looking like he might collapse and fall asleep any second.
"Please sit down first, sit and talk, you're about to fall over..."
The man sitting at the desk appeared to be in his late thirties. As he spoke, he took off his work badge from around his neck and placed it on the desk, sighing helplessly.
The work badge placed on the desk reflected the clear sky outside the window, its orange-red logo an abstract pattern sowhat resembling a sliced mango.
Below, cream-colored text displayed the man's position and na—
[Mango Comprehensive TV Seventh Project Departnt]
[Departnt Head]
[Yuan Quan]
Mango Comprehensive TV, established last May, was now a year and a half old.
As a comprehensive video website under Mango TV, Mango Comprehensive TV focused on original variety shows and broadcasting TV dramas, with original variety shows being the platform's top priority.
By the beginning of this year, under the leadership of General Manager Wu ngxing, Mango Comprehensive TV had established six variety show project teams. Shows like "Please Open Your Fridge," "Wife's Romantic Journey," and "Chinese Restaurant" had all received good responses and were thriving.
Just two months ago, the Seventh Project Departnt headed by Yuan Quan was also established.
The task General Manager gave Yuan Quan was very simple—
[Create a new type of original variety show to enrich our variety show categories]
The task was simple, yet difficult.
For this, the team had held nurous etings for discussion, and the departnt was under considerable pressure.
This morning's project eting was to report their two recent variety show concepts to General Manager Wu—a talent show variety and a travel talk show.
But!
Absolutely unexpectedly.
This already unimpressive report beca even more infuriating when Fang Ge fell asleep in the eting room.
As the general manager, Wu ngxing obviously couldn't directly curse out Fang Ge, so Yuan Quan naturally took the heat for this scolding.
Fang Ge also knew his 'sin was grave.'
That's why, as soon as his boss returned looking disheveled from the general manager's office, he ca to apologize.
"...I'm really... really sorry, boss... for getting you scolded..."
Fang Ge genuinely felt terrible.
Yuan Quan was about ten years older than him, a low-key and gentle person who took good care of everyone in the team.
Now, because Fang Ge had openly fallen asleep during the project eting, Yuan Quan had to endure unwarranted harsh criticism.
Fang Ge naturally felt extrely guilty.
"Ah—forget it, let's move on, just don't let it happen again,"
Yuan Quan looked at Fang Ge's nervous appearance, sighed lightly, then waved his hand to indicate it was fine:
"After all, our top priority right now isn't discussing whether one should sleep during etings,"
"But rather to co up with a new variety show for leadership,"
"If we can deliver, never mind sleeping during etings—you could go sleep directly in Manager Wu's office and not get scolded,"
"If we can't deliver, even if you don't sleep, we'll still get scolded, just for different reasons."
Yuan Quan spoke slowly and thodically, but every word hit the mark, getting straight to the point.
Market economy, after all.
Whoever can co up with new ideas, create new innovations, and secure more advertising revenue becos the big shot in the company, soone even the general manager has to treat with respect.
Otherwise.
You're nothing, just waiting to get scolded.
"What about our two variety show concepts...?"
Fang Ge rubbed his eyes and asked weakly.
Yuan Quan shook his head, straightforward:
"Not acceptable. Talent shows are too old, and the travel talk show conflicts with 'Wife's Romantic Journey.' Manager Wu rejected both."
"Ah..."
Hearing this, Fang Ge sighed, clicking his tongue sowhat helplessly.
As a mber of the Seventh Project Departnt, Fang Ge usually worked in the planning team.
Those two proposals were ones he and team mbers had drafted together for submission.
He was one of the team's pioneer mbers, a shock troop, and one of the program proposal drafters.
Now that the project had been rejected and needed reworking, this task was most directly related to him.
For a mont.
Fang Ge fell into deep thought.
However.
Just as both n lowered their heads in silence.
Ding dong.
Suddenly, a phone notification sound rang out.
Fang Ge took out his phone and looked down at it.
On the screen was a special follow notification—
[Golden Wind V: Let us introduce a new friend—@Stardew Valley Resort! Yes! Our first peripheral real estate project is launching next week! Want to experience Stardew Valley's life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset? Want to leave the city's noise behind and enjoy monts of peace? Start here! (Attached: Booking experience link)]
Huh???
Fang Ge froze, making the sound of a Golden Wind player.
What in the world?
Stardew Valley... resort?!
Holy shit!!!
To make sure he wasn't seeing things, Fang Ge looked at it three more tis, even clicking open the comnts below to carefully examine—
'Damn! Little Yellow is amazing! Made a real-life Stardew Valley?'
'Wait? A resort? Huh? You built a resort?'
'Who said there wasn't a motion-sensing pod version? Who said that? Now you understand why! They fucking made a real one!'
'Holy fuck! Just clicked the link and looked—all I can say is... it's so fucking accurate!!!'
'HAHAHAHA shit! You actually have to start by cleaning the house! Absolutely brilliant!'
'Wait... I... forgive my bluntness but I kinda want to go...'
'No! It's not the kind of pure labor you imagine! You can exchange work for ingredients or als!'
'Then isn't that paying money work without including food and accommodation???'
'HAHAHAHA shit seems that way...'
'No... I... sorry everyone, my Stardew Valley addiction is acting up, I really want to go...'
'To be fair, it's only 500 bucks, three rooms that can accommodate 5-8 people, working out to less than 100 per person, plus each lodging experience cos with a Golden Wind ga 50% off digital coupon. I feel... it's pretty worth it, right??'
'Holy shit 50% off! Bro, does this even need calculation? Resident Evil 7 is sixty dollars, with the coupon you save thirty dollars which is over two hundred RMB! This is basically free, right?'
"Hisss—seems that way—I was thinking Stardew Valley isn't that expensive anyway, 50% off seems pretty cheap—"
'I'm in Binjiang, brothers I'm going for it first...'
'I want it too...'
'Really could give it a try...'
Looking at all these comnts, Fang Ge felt a sudden flash of inspiration in his mind!
Wait a second?
"Boss..."
Fang Ge slowly looked up at Yuan Quan, a thoughtful expression on his face:
"I think I might have an idea for our new variety show..."
