Actually, Chen Lin had even better two-player game options, like Overcooked.
But considering the tight development schedule and the memory limit of under 1G, this "super rabbit man" was undoubtedly the most suitable.
Song Laoda, who received the proposal, also gathered everyone the next morning for a meeting in the newly renovated conference room.
"I called everyone here today to make an announcement regarding our participation in the Huanhai Exhibition."
Sitting in his seat, Song Laoda clutched his forehead, reading the meeting's agenda with a conflicted expression.
He truly didn't know how to comment on this bizarre design.
That's right.
It was bizarre!
If he didn't believe Chen Lin wouldn't joke about such a thing, he would have been too embarrassed to even bring out this proposal.
It was too damn embarrassing!
In contrast.
The employees who heard him speak were much more excited.
"Participating in the Huanhai Exhibition?"
"Does that mean we're making a new game?"
"Great! It's finally starting!"
"Song Laoda, hurry up and show us! What kind of game is it?"
"Why even ask? This is a work personally designed by the esteemed Master Xian Yu."
"Not Xian Yu, it's Xian Yu!"
Everyone spoke one after another, all looking at Song Laoda and the design proposal in his hand with eager faces.
They still had great faith in Chen Lin, who had continuously produced two hit games, "braveheart" and "slay the spire."
At the very least, they could guarantee.
This third game shouldn't be much weaker.
Their strong curiosity was immediately piqued, and they urgently wanted to know what game masterpiece Chen Lin had designed this time.
Looking at their expectant expressions, Song Laoda's expression was strange.
He cleared his throat twice to ease the awkwardness, then opened his computer and projected the design proposal onto the screen.
Then, as if resigned to his fate, he spread his hands and leaned back in his chair.
"You all can see for yourselves."
Everyone's faces lit up, and they eagerly looked at the screen.
However, the next second, they all collectively froze in place, looking at Song Laoda with expressions that suggested they were looking at someone with an intellectual disability.
"A very, very special game!"
Bald Old Li truly couldn't think of a more suitable adjective, and with great difficulty, a few words finally popped out of his mouth.
Everyone else was also dumbfounded, thinking they hadn't woken up yet.
On the screen, there was a cartoon-style blue sky and white clouds, and an endless expanse of emerald green grass.
On the grass were square protrusions, with spiky trees and various traps.
Two rabbit men, looking like they were made after three years of animation study, held hands and jumped high, competing for a carrot above.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
The art style was so crude it was almost unwatchable.
What was this?
A cartoon parenting show?
Everyone's gaze focused on Song Laoda.
Song Laoda shrugged: "As you can see, your boss, the famous Designer Xian Yu, wants us to make this game, and plans to publicly showcase it at the Huanhai Exhibition a month from now."
"What! And it's going to be publicly showcased? Just kill me now!"
"I'll be laughed to death by my peers if I make this game!"
"NO!!!"
Upon receiving the definitive answer, the conference room immediately filled with wails, and everyone's faces turned into bitter gourds.
Only the two girls from administration and HR covered their mouths and snickered, grateful that they had escaped a disaster.
"Oh, right."
Unexpectedly, Song Laoda suddenly looked at them: "General Manager Chen said that since the studio hasn't hired marketing personnel yet, you two should also go to the game exhibition that day to serve as a front and promote the studio."
"No—don't—want—"
The two girls' faces instantly turned pale.
They hadn't expected retribution to come so quickly.
They exchanged glances, then actually hugged each other and cried bitterly.
"Wuwuwu, little sister, big sister has to go first this time, wuwuwu…"
"Big sister… my life is so bitter! This Earth is no longer livable."
"It's big sister's fault for making you, little sister, expose yourself to the public. I think we should just give in."
Crying echoed throughout the conference room and beyond.
Anyone unaware would have thought they were engaged in some illicit transaction.
Song Laoda looked speechless: "Alright, alright, are you two acting out A Dream of Red Mansions? If you don't want to go, then don't go. At most, I'll give the 200 yuan daily high-temperature subsidy to others."
"Wait! Laoda, what did you just say?"
A group of men who were watching the show suddenly perked up.
They seemed to have heard something incredible just now.
"If you don't want to go, you don't have to. Is there a problem?" Song Laoda emphasized again, his face stern.
"No, not that sentence, the one after that." Old Li said, breathing heavily.
"The one after that? At most, 200 yuan daily high-temperature subsidy to oth—"
"I'll go!"
"I want to go!!!"
Before he could finish, the two girls on the side shouted in unison.
The two who had just been crying so pitifully were now holding their hands up high, their small faces flushed with excitement.
The men: ???
No.
Didn't you two just say you wanted to move off Earth?
Your faces changed a bit too quickly.
Under so many people's gazes, Xiao Li and Xiao Wei suddenly became shy.
"Making money, it's not shameful."
"I'm going for market research."
Faced with the Two people's shameless behavior, Song Laoda also shook his head helplessly.
But he knew that although these two girls usually loved to goof around, their hearts were very pure, and they both came from humble backgrounds.
Their willingness to expose themselves to the public, enduring wind and sun outside, was simply because they wanted to earn more money to send back home.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "In that case, you two will take turns being responsible for the game demonstration. The male colleagues here also pick Two people to go and be on duty together."
"Me, me, me! Laoda, pick me!"
"I'm strong and have many tricks, pick me, pick me!"
"Are we picking ducks here? And many tricks? The most important thing for demonstrating a game is image!"
"Indeed, when it comes to beauty, no one here can compare to me, right?"
"Bullshit! You don't even look at how many hairs you have on your forehead!"
"You old bald head have no right to talk about me!"
The 200 yuan daily subsidy was very generous for them, as working-class people.
It even surpassed their disdain for this new game, and they all argued, their faces red with excitement.
Ultimately.
Song Laoda still had to step in.
He chose the two youngest lads to go, to ensure the image of their studio.
"Those who weren't chosen don't need to be discouraged. Once the game is made and officially launched, you will also receive a bonus dividend, which will be more, not less, than this."
Song Laoda sat at the head of the table and offered comfort.
"Can this game really make money?"
Looking at the design proposal in front of them, their entire faces fell. They really didn't dare to hold too much hope.
But since the boss himself had spoken.
They didn't dare to disobey.
After simply distributing the tasks, they hurriedly left the conference room and began to work on making the game.
After all, there was only a little over half a month until the exhibition.
They still had to complete the final finishing touches for slay the spire, so they could only spare a few people to work on this game.
To finish so many levels before then would probably be a bit difficult.
Old Li, who was in charge of this project, frowned deeply and discussed the development direction with his colleagues for a while before sitting back down at his desk.
He opened his long-unused computer, and the familiar interface gradually came into view.
"Huh? What's this?"
Suddenly, he noticed something and looked towards the corner.
On the originally empty desktop, there was now a software called "Hong Huang Game Engine," which had been installed at some unknown time.
"Holy crap! Hong Huang Game Engine?"
"Our studio actually has its own development engine!?"
The other programmers also noticed the change on their computers, and exclamations of surprise erupted for a moment.
