Have you ever worked as a game designer at a major company? You just write game-related articles?

With the conclusion of the Steam platform's new product festival, Xiao Chunan's attention once again focused on the development of a new game.

The fourth game is of paramount importance to ChuNan Technology.

Market research indicates that players have shown a strong interest in cooperative games.

What they want is neither large-scale PvP combat nor PvE raids!

Instead, it's a lighthearted way of playing where two or three people can have fun together, but seven or eight people might end up in "chaos".

Inside the conference room of Chunan Technology.

Xiao Chunan chaired a seminar on the new game, bringing together all the team's creative ideas.

"Mr. Xiao, I think the kind of games that players are suggesting for couples to play together is a great direction."

Inside the meeting room, a designer raised his hand.

"Couple games?"

Xiao Chunan's lips curled up slightly—this coincided with his previous idea.

"Let's make a game that can cause couples to break up and friends to end their friendships!"

"The mutual sabotage in Human: Fall Flat was just the beginning; it was just our initial attempt at this style."

"Mr. Xiao, what should we call this game?"

"Let's call it—Overcooked!"

Everyone says my novels are prophetic, so be it.

After releasing the news about the fourth game, Shen Huaizhou casually ended the story at the end.

It will be at least another week before Overcooked is officially released.

This is not a large-scale game; it has its own demo and art assets.

Three or four weeks of development time is sufficient.

After completing today's update tasks, Shen Huaizhou consciously opened the Dou Sha platform.

[Human: Fall Flat fan-made image! A chaotic battle of idiots begins!]

Seeing the footage in Da Zhuang's live stream, Shen Huaizhou couldn't help but laugh.

Along with the update to Human: Fall Flat, player benefits were also announced.

It's surprising that in such a short time, a master has already created their own map.

In the original Human: Fall Flat, the levels are relatively short if teammates don't sabotage each other.

In response, Shen Huaizhou stated:

Why not just let the players update themselves?

Only by allowing players to make the most of their remaining abilities can we maximize their potential.

This is the way our company survives, isn't it?

Shen Huaizhou curiously looked inside.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the live stream, I saw that Da Zhuang's face had turned red!

This map is one I've never seen before; it must be a custom map created by players.

The comments from viewers in the live chat indicated that they had been stuck on this level for almost twenty minutes.

"Wow, the person who designed this map is a genius."

"They've even created a virus mode!"

"I've never played it before—"

After browsing through the comments, I discovered that this map was created by a pro player, and it even includes the zombie mode, a favorite feature in most competitive games!

In other words, this game introduces a new virus-based gameplay element.

The players' actions of dragging the team down have become quite amusing.

In the game, once you get infected, you will turn into a zombie, and your actions will have to follow the zombie's lead.

Basically, the core of this gameplay is to disrupt your normal teammates and infect them all.

However, Shen Huaizhou was a little stunned when he saw several familiar live streamers standing still without making a move.

What are they doing?

"Why aren't you running away yet?"

Before Shen Huaizhou could react, the next second, he saw Taozi giggling in the live stream: "Ahhh! Master! Master!!"

"How did I turn into a zombie?!"

Inside the live stream, Da Zhuang's face, which had been smiling smugly, suddenly darkened.

Then he was heard yelling furiously in the live stream: "Holy crap, don't come any closer!!"

"Holy crap, how did so many people get infected?!"

"It wasn't Master, it wasn't me who infected you. Someone fell from the sky and grabbed me. I grabbed you, so we were infected together."

"Let's try again, we absolutely have to get through this one!"

Playing with eight people is not the limit of this game.

With the launch of the new player-created mod mode, Insomnia Games has also removed the player limit in the multiplayer mode of Human: Fall Flat.

The original eight people were replaced with sixteen.

Anyone familiar with this game knows that playing it alone is no fun, but playing it with eight people is a completely different story.

In this virus mode, sixteen people are in the same level together.

Wouldn't the players of this game go crazy?

The chat in the live stream room became even more lively:

[Virus Infection Mode ✘ Big Zhuang Hanging B Mode! (B on the Wall)!]

[Newbie here, just asking: What's the name of this game? How much does it cost?]

Humans can scale walls and rooftops!

Humans are going to the skies and the depths of the earth!

Is this a PVP fighting game? It looks really fun, but I'm a newbie!

[Newbie, huh? Your fan badge should be removed first; a level 16 fan badge shouldn't be there.]

[The video is great, I'm very satisfied, it completely exceeded my expectations. The video updates are also very fast, thank you uploader. This is the most satisfying video I've ever made on Dousha, and the uploader's attitude is also very good... (This time the employer's requirements are exquisite, perfect, and extremely long.

Hey bro upstairs, let's not take this sloppy money [picking nose]

"puff--"

Shen Huaizhou couldn't help but laugh, compared to these livestreamers.

I feel like the viewers in the live stream chat are the ones who are really good at creating fun.

At this moment, Da Zhuang had no time to care about the viewers in the live stream, as long as it wasn't Oatmeal Bro.

The next second, a zombie fell from the sky!

Then, you can hear Dazhuang complaining in the live stream:

"This game is unplayable, it's all cheaters! Hey! Stop touching me, you've infected me!"

Watching the sixteen players, seven or eight streamers, and a bunch of viewers sabotaging each other on the screen...

Da Zhuang had to deal with both deciphering the mystery and the zombies behind him.

We move towards our goal step by step.

After watching for several minutes, these people were still stuck in the same spot, not moving an inch.

next moment!

"Holy crap! That's awesome! There were sixteen of us in the house, and now fourteen of us have turned into zombies!!"

And then, several large words appeared on the screen!

[Third round: The infected win!]

[Starting the fourth round!]
