"Golden Wind High-rise" slept peacefully in the same bed.

And the other side!

On the other side of the ocean, in Yunwei, a meeting full of tension was going on.

"...Why should we remove the watermark [the content is only for gameplay display, the final effect is subject to the actual trial machine]?"

At the conference table, Firebird Chief Art Director Isokoya frowned and looked at the manager of the publicity department:

"Didn't I say before that this sentence must be included in the trailer?"

joke!

It’s just a big joke!

Isokoa's whole person looked like a volcano on the verge of erupting. His frown and clenched fists all showed his nervousness and anxiety.

The operation of "applying UI filters to CG" itself goes against his game production philosophy!

To put a fucking movie-level rendered CG video on top of a fake heads-up display UI, this operation is no different from a scam in the eyes of any qualified game producer.

Even if it's not a scam, it's still deceptive guidance.

He didn't want to do it originally.

But the pressure from Vivendi was too great, and the financial sponsor, the big daddy, who was eager to see the results and get reassurance, spoke up, so he had no choice but to do it.

And his only requirement for this extremely deceptive "trailer" is to add a sentence in an inconspicuous position: "The content is only a gameplay demonstration, the final effect will be subject to the actual trial."

In this way, even if the subjective intention of this trailer is still deceptive guidance, it still leaves a way out for itself.

Aesop knew very well that the final effect of "Before the Cataclysm" would never reach the level shown in CG.

After all, they currently do not have top-level graphics engine support, and secondly, they do not have top-level motion sensing cabin auxiliary technology support.

In just half a year, if we can initially complete 50% of the gameplay mentioned in the promotional video while lowering industrial quality requirements, it can be considered a success.

But now.

The originally well-written watermark reminder in the video—their escape route—was removed when it was officially released!

And this directly led to an uproar in the entire gaming circle——!

‘This is actually a live scene! Oh my god! It’s incredible!’

'OMG...can Yunwei really achieve this level of industrial quality presentation? This is too exaggerated!'

'It can only be said that Yunwei is indeed a top global manufacturer with a profound foundation and strong technical reserves...'

‘It seems that Yunwei is going to really show off his strength this time’

'Amazing! It's hard to imagine that this is actually a real machine demonstration...'

‘Maybe they only did these few paragraphs (doge)’

‘But this is enough to illustrate the overall structure and industrial quality of the game’

‘It is no exaggeration to say that this will be a landmark work that can rewrite the current gaming situation and even determine the future development’

'It's so shocking...'

‘Oh my God… I can’t even imagine how fun this game will be’

‘If successful, this will be an epoch-making work’

‘It’s incredible, it’s a work of art’

'A thief...'

'Unbelievable...'

‘…’

The seamless fusion of CG and UI fooled everyone!

At the same time, it also made the discussion and expectations of "The Eve of Catastrophe" explode instantly!

"This is exactly what the higher-ups want, Aesop,"

Before the manager of the publicity department could answer, Vice President Petain spoke first. He waved his hand to signal Aesop not to be so nervous:

"In fact, the senior management was very satisfied after seeing our trailer, and they were even willing to further increase their investment in us, and tried to persuade more investors to believe in us."

Petain was right.

With the release of this "real machine trailer", the gaming community was shocked.

Correspondingly, naturally, investors are full of confidence and the overall market attitude has changed to a warmer trend.

Within just two hours after the trailer was released, their Yunwei stock price began to rise.

This was something that was unimaginable before.

Seeing this situation, Weiwangdi, as the parent company of the financial sponsor, is naturally deeply satisfied and full of confidence.

In this way——

The market is confident, stock prices are rising, investors are positive, and investments are increasing.

It’s completely in a state of prosperity!

Therefore, Pétain was really a little puzzled by Aesop's "disaster-like" attitude:
Chapter completed!
