Brothel Taoist had already become a symbolic ID and a classic role model for a good indie development team on I Am Crazy Over Otaku game site. After a round of late advertisement, the farming simulation and the myth of Luhua village became more and more popular. It even had a sign of breaking the records.
Clearly, I am crazy over otaku intended to set Taoist as a classic example. Both of his games were not top quality games, but they were good enough to be commercial games. Plus both games had already created many discussions, and the Taoist had already signed the contract, it was still worth to advertise his games.
However, It was a shame that the Taoist insisted not to reveal his face to the public. He didn’t even want to reveal his real name to the public.
This actually wasn’t that surprising. Because the site already had many teams that didn’t want to reveal their identities to the public. Maybe all otakus liked to stay anonymous when communicating with other people.
Surprisingly, it was at this time, the Taoist’s third game came out.
What surprised people was both the speed and the quality of the game.
The War of Luhua village was uploaded just less than half a month after The Myth of Luhua village was uploaded.
Through the premium channel, the game directly entered the final reviewing process. All the admins of the site were dazed in confusion. Because no one had expected that the third game would come out this quick. The effects of the advertisement had not even faded yet.
Probably it was the game that had already been developed in the past, and it was only released today.
Upon opening the game, the site admins were instantly shocked by the CG animation, which was in even higher quality than the myth of Luhua village. No one knew why the quality of the Taoist’s games was higher than the previous uploads. They couldn’t imagine that a team would have a big improvement in such a short period of time.
Moreover, the Taoist seemed to like Luhua village a lot. All three games were based on that village.
So far, the admins of the site only knew one person in the Taoist’s team. It was Zhou Yu, who was also a villager in Luhua village. Maybe it was because of this team member?
After the admins finished all the missions in the game, almost all of them gave 8 points to the game. With the 3D realistic battlefield graphic, many different types of military equipment, it was definitely a game that the military enthusiasts shouldn’t miss out.
The story and the missions were both humorous and interesting. The game filled with all kinds of fairy tales. It was definitely able to satisfy the players who liked to enjoy the story of games.
During the period of reviewing, the reviewing department specially messaged Taoist not to release the game for free again. They would speed up the reviewing process, but they wanted the Taoist to be patient.
In fact, they didn’t need to message Zhou Yu. With years of gaming experiences, how was he not be able to tell that this game was qualified to be a commercial game?
He depended on this game to make some money, so his parents would not bother him anymore. More importantly, the quality of his life would also be able to improve slightly. Therefore, he didn’t mind to wait for a few days.
After the review, he still couldn’t release the game immediately. Firstly, the site would need to submit the relevant game documents to the relevant government departments to get approval. Only until then would the game be able to be released to the public. Plus some advertisements etc, they were all managed by the site. In exchange, they would take a percentage of the profit of the game. This was a well-known rule in the gaming industry.
To Zhou Yu, who was too lazy to deal with all kinds of business matters, this was perfect for him. In the future, if he was short of money, he would just need to sell a game, then he could spend all his time satisfying his own interests. This was the happy life he wanted.
In terms of expanding his company, making big money, etc, to be honest, he was not interested at all. Otherwise, he would not have stayed at home most of the time.
But there was a problem in the game.
Taoist, because the game you made contained the names of real village and real people in that village. It is better to get permissions from them first. Otherwise, once we start to charge people money, it may have some troubles.
The staff that was responsible for communicating with Taoist sent a message to Zhou Yu. Commercial games indeed had many troubles. It might have many unexpected hidden disputes in the future. It was much worse than free games, at least, he could do whatever he liked to free games.
Eventually, Zhou Yu could only find the old village chief and explained everything to him helplessly. He hoped that the old village chief would be able to help him to talk to everyone that appeared in the game. If anyone that didn’t agree to it, they would need to let him know as soon as possible.
If there was no way that they would agree to this, Zhou Yu planned to release the game for free and wait for the next game to make some money. After all, he was not in need of money at the moment.
Luckily, most people in the game were kids, they were rather happy to have their characters in the game. The only few people that needed to discuss were some adults.
After all, everyone had their own lifestyle, there were so many weirdos in the world. For example, Zhou Yu never used mobile before.
The old village chief was confused when he heard what Zhou Yu said. He had been living in this world for so long, but he had actually never encountered this problem before. He didn’t mind to have his character in a game, however, he didn’t know about other people.
Therefore, he called uncle Qing, teacher Hu, and uncle Dashan, three other people that also had their faces and names appeared in the game, to go to Zhou Yu’s house together, to check out the game.
Upon arriving at Zhou Yu’s house, they immediately heard Zhou Hao shouting loudly while playing a tank excitedly on Zhou Yu’s computer. There were a few other kids on the side watching him playing as well. And all of their faces were all filled with excitement as if it was them playing the game.
Hearing a few cough sounds, Zhou Hao immediately raised his head. And when he saw it was his grandpa, his body suddenly went stiff. He then slowly got up and walked towards Zhou Yu and stood behind him.
Seeing his students were playing the computer game, teacher Hu habitually asked,
did you finish your homework?
Almost at the same time, all the kids replied,
FINISHED… Brother Yu said that only after we finished the homework would we be allowed to play the game.
Luckily, Zhou Yu had this rule. Otherwise, he would have troubles explaining this to their teacher.
Teacher Hu nodded his head and then began to look at the game closely. It was indeed Luhua village, some random characters were almost the same, so he couldn’t tell which one was which, but there were some important characters using the real appearances of the people who live in the village. For example, the skill instructor teacher Lu, the owner of the fishing farm uncle Qing, the owner of the fruit forest Zhou Dashan, the old village chief Zhou Xingyi, the doctor strange Zhou Yu.
Seeing his fish farm appearing in a game shocked uncle Qing. Because the fish farm in the game was very pretty.
Just some simple flowers and other plants as the decorations around the fish farm, it made the fish farm in the game looked much better than the real one. It was truly the kid from the city. He even knew how to decorate his fish farm. It was a shame that he didn’t have spare times, otherwise, he could really try to do it.
Uncle Dashan’s fruit forest was the main battlefield. All kinds of bullets and smokes were constantly appearing on the screening, however, the entire fruit forest looked exactly like the one he had. It made him constantly gasped with amazement. Especially the biggest tree in his forest was turned into the land god, he could even see the symbolic area that had been by a lighting bolt ok that tree.
The old village chief also observed the power of technology. At the same time, as a retired soldier, he was also a military enthusiast, so when he saw the game had many domestic weapons, it made him feel very proud of his country.
Kid, don’t worry, Luhua village is not some tourist hotspots, we will not charge you money just for some pictures. We also don’t mind it. If you need some more people, we can help you to find them…
After seeing the game, and discussing with the rest of three people, the old village said to Zhou Yu.
Not only they didn’t mind, but they also praised Zhou Yu for making such a good game. Although their standards were probably based on the graphics quality of the game.
After hearing that, Zhou Yu was finally relieved.
Of course, he would give something in return in the end. It was just that he didn’t have any money at the moment, so he couldn’t give them anything. But he had already remembered it in his mind.
