Chapter 1534 “Shu Li” Publishes CG
At that point, the Vice-President could not help but raise his thumb.
“Boss Nie is wise!”
“I can only say that Boss Pei had a flaw. He is indeed one of the top game designers in the world. However, his conceit in the field of game production has also restrained him, making him ignore this outstanding game company in Jingzhou.”
“Of course, this is not Boss Pei’s problem. After all, there is no first place in literature. Every outstanding artist has pride. They would subconsciously ignore people who are not as good as them.”
“Perhaps Boss Pei did not expect you to catch such an inconspicuous loophole that is not considered a loophole!” Nie Yunsheng smiled, his expression rather pleasing The gaming industry was Tengda’s strongest field.
Finding a gap in a seemingly impossible field was indeed something to be proud of!
“However… Boss Nie.” The Vice-President hesitated for a moment before saying, “The project ‘Shu Li’ is still in the development stage. It should be kept a secret.”
“I’m afraid it’ll be very difficult for us to obtain detailed internal information about this game!”
“Without these information, the influence that can be formed would definitely be greatly reduced.”
“The risk of an internal leak… is too high.”
Nie Yunsheng’s idea was to publicize the news of “Shu Li” and attract widespread attention. Then, he would throw an olive branch and use this opportunity to attack Tengda. He would decide the follow-up strategy based on Tengda’s reaction.
However, there was a prerequisite: he had to attract widespread attention.
Just the name of “Shu Li” and the reputation of Yan Qi’s team were definitely not enough. That was because this team had only worked on the mobile game “Blade of the Empire” before. It was not very famous. It was not enough even if they bragged about the feeling and spirit of moving from mobile to 3A.
It would be best if there was a ready-made promotional video or a realistic game scene to attract widespread attention.
However, these were all internal information. They must be highly confidential and not easy to obtain.
Nie Yunsheng said, “Hehe, don’t worry about that. They will provide it themselves. As far as I know, ‘Shu Li’ will release a promotional video and a demo this weekend to promote it on Dawn Games platform.”
“This has been confirmed. It will not change.”
“It’s precisely because of this news that I’m even more certain that the ‘Shu Li’ project is actually lacking money! However, it already has a certain level of completion. It’s the best time for us to enter now.”
A realization dawned on the Vice-President. “I see! Boss Nie is wise!”
This project might be a confidentiality state but it was impossible to completely be airtight. Some news would always be leaked. What’s more, the anti-Tengda Alliance had so many resources on hand. It was very difficult to dig out confidential game resources, but it was still easy to obtain some news.
The official development of the project of “Shu Li” was in November last year. It had been more than four months.
The content of this game was huge, and it was an action-based 3A game. It was not small, but it had a very mature official game editor after all. No matter what, almost half of the development process should be there.
At this stage of development, releasing a promotional video or posting a trial video was actually the usual method of many game merchants.
On one hand, it was to be exposed in advance and accumulate popularity so that gamers would look forward to it. On the other hand, it could also attract the attention of investors and gamers. Whether it was to pull investment or to open pre-sales, they could think of ways to recover a portion of the funds and reduce the pressure of the funds.
Many foreign AAA games had even released their promotional videos half a year or a year in advance, mainly to accumulate popularity. Some independent games in the country were released in advance to obtain players’ support and relieve the pressure of money through pre-sales.
Nie Yunsheng felt that the game ‘Shu Li’ definitely had both.
At the same time, this point was verified with Yan Qi’s team’s current state. It made Nie Yunsheng even more certain that Yan Qi’s team was definitely lacking money. The game was only half done. They needed a lot of money to develop it to a complete state.

After the promotional video was released this time, how much attention it would attract and how much money it would get might directly determine the future completion of the game Shu Li’.
This gave Nie Yunsheng an excellent opportunity! “Hurry up and prepare. Try your best to follow up immediately after the trailer for ‘Shu Li’ is released so that he has no choice but to cooperate with us!”
March 23rd, Saturday. Yan Qi came to the office as usual. He took a cup of coffee and sat down at his desk.
It was Saturday, so there were not many people in the office. Only one-fifth of them came.
They might have taken the investment from Dream Realization Ventures but they were not Tengda’s direct department after all. Thus, they were more free to work overtime. Yan Qi did not force everyone to work overtime. However, some people were still like Yan Qi. They were worried about the project, so they would come and work for a while during the weekend.
“Boss Yan, are we going to publish the promotional video and trial video today?” The chief designer sitting beside him asked.
Yan Qi: “Yes.” “Do you need us to do anything?” The chief designer asked again.
Yan Qi shook his head. “There’s no need. The video has been recorded. It has also been connected to Dawn Games platform. It will be uploaded directly to the video website. The publicity resources on the gaming platform will be up at the same time. There’s no need to do anything.”
“Everyone, just focus on developing the subsequent game content.”
“Oh, that’s right. Don’t work overtime on Saturday. I’ll treat you to lunch. Go home and rest before 4 PM. We’ll continue to end ‘Shu Li’ from next week onwards. We’ll try to follow the original plan and release the complete version of ‘Shu Li’ in June.”
The chief designer nodded. “Alright, Boss Yan!”
Yan Qi looked calm on the surface, but he was actually a little worried.
That was because he was not sure if this video would achieve the effect he had expected after he released it!
After the game project reached a certain stage, it was normal to release a video to promote it in advance. Yan Qi’s team might have received Boss Pei’s full support and did not lack money at all, but he lacked popularity and confidence.
What if gamers did not buy the game after it was created? Wouldn’t that be letting Boss Pei down?
This idea might have been nodded by Boss Pei but there would definitely be changes during the development process. The final product would deviate from the initial idea.
It was not guaranteed.
If it failed, it would definitely be his fault and had nothing to do with Boss Pei.
Coincidentally, Dawn Games platform had the same intention.

Dawn Games platform might be very popular among players and there were more and more outstanding games on the platform, but they had not found a good explosive point recently so that the popularity of the platform would rise step by step. He felt that it was too superficial if he did not do anything. Therefore, they also needed a popular game to make the gamers on the platform excited and bring the traffic of the platform. Thus, both sides agreed immediately and decided to publicize “Shu Li” to gain popularity.
It was just as well that he could use this opportunity to release the trial video of “Shu Li”. He could leak some information to players with restrictions. Not only could it increase the popularity, but he could also determine if the current direction was right.
If the response was average after it was released and gamers did not feel anything, it would mean that the current development of the game ‘Shu Li’ had deviated from his expectations. Yan Qi would have to think about how to make huge changes to it in the development segment.
He glanced at the time. The promotional video and trial video had been automatically released on Dawn Games platform. Yan Qi immediately clicked on it.
A pleasant melody sounded. A bright red and a little demonic flower appeared in the camera, floating in the rain.
Immediately after, the camera zoomed in. Amidst the fog, there were countless temples and pagodas in the distance.
This scene naturally made people think of the ‘480 temples in the south, how many floors were covered in rain’.
However, this quiet scene was suddenly broken. The biggest Buddha tower suddenly exploded violently. The entire Buddha tower snapped from the middle and collapsed. Fire rushed into the sky!
The raging flames swallowed the Buddha tower. Not only that, the other Buddha towers also burned with flames, instantly turning the scene blood red!
The fire and smoke looked particularly glaring in the misty rain of the South country.
In a temple, there was a huge Buddha statue that looked like an emperor. The Bodhisattvas on both sides smiled like attendants. The king was serious, powerful, and ferocious. He surrounded the huge Buddha statue in the middle, looking magnificent.
However, at that moment, all the Buddha statues collapsed and collapsed in the flames, turning into ashes.
Soldiers with sharp swords slaughtered the monks who scattered in all directions. However, there were also powerful monks who waved their staff and fought with the soldiers in front of the Buddha statue that collapsed in the fire.
The camera zoomed in, and the scene quickly switched to the north border.
The foreign cavalry were charging. They raised the scimitars in their hands and the warhorses under them also had red eyes. They roared and rushed towards the opposite battle formation.
On the other side was the army of the Central-Plains. Unlike the Other Race, there were cavalry on this side as well, but they were arranged on the two sides. In front of the formation of foot soldiers in the middle was a temporary stronghold formed by side cars. The archers were on standby in the back, ready to fight.
The general leading the troops drew his sword and gave an order as arrows rained down!
Both sides fought bitterly. The generals leading the troops kept giving orders. The soldiers around them changed their formation. It was as if a magical power was injected into their bodies, supporting them to fight with all their might.
Behind the battle formation, the Great Confucian scholars wielded their brush and spoke eloquently. Righteousness gathered into the battle formation.
A foreign cavalry saw the Great Confucian people behind the battle formation and rushed over to attack them. However, when they arrived in front of the Great Confucian people, they revealed countless flaws and were easily killed by the guards. The camera switched to a small village near the border.
An old Taoist held a horsetail whisk in one hand and a magic sword in the other as he walked into the village.
It was quiet all around. There were only crows pecking at corpses. One could vaguely hear miserable whimpers coming from all directions.
Suddenly, a ferocious demon ghost rushed out of the house beside him and grabbed the Taoist with its black claws!
The Taoist devotee was calm and collected. He tossed out a talisman that turned into a chain and locked the demon spirit tightly. Then, he slashed with his long sword, sealing its throat. However, right on the heels of that, black death aura gathered in the village. More demons appeared, and there were even huge monsters dozens of feet tall that wanted to skin the Taoist devotee alive!
Elixirs, talisman amulets, formation… The Daoist’s methods were endless, but countless demons still surrounded him and gradually swallowed him up…
At last, the Taoist devotee leaned on his sword and was covered in wounds. However, there were already a mountain of demon corpses around him.
A sudden cry came from the quiet night. The Taoist devotee followed the source of the sound and found that it was a baby hidden by his parents.
The Taoist picked up the baby and left the village.
The raging flames ignited and burned everything to ashes. Accompanying the tragic melody, the title of the game appeared in the raging flames: “Shu Li”!
