The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!

Busy every day, doing the same things every day.

A month later, the official Chaoxi Games account was updated again.

The movie "Love Requires Talking to People" has released a brand new trailer, this time with the setting even shifting to outer space.

In the image, the universe is pitch black, and distant nebulae drift slowly.

A small spaceship headed straight for the blue planet.

The camera then moves through a narrow passageway into an empty rest cabin.

A faint communication noise was heard inside the spaceship.

A few seconds later, a voice whose age was indiscernible came from the device.

Did anyone talk to you today?

In the video, a hand wearing a spacesuit and gloves extends out, holding a microphone to reply.

"have."

The person on the other end of the communication asked again:

"Who is it?"

The astronaut looked up out the porthole.

"Many people."

Then, the screen flashed, and several observation records appeared on the screen.

[Eating was normal today.]

[Emotionally stable.]

[Willing to initiate communication.]

[Still refusing to provide their real name.]

The camera gradually zooms out.

Gentle background music slowly began to play.

A familiar game title appeared in the center of the screen.

【Love Requires Talking to People】

Players were all staring at the bottom of the screen, waiting for the specific release date.

The next second, four large characters slowly appeared.

[Coming Soon]

Then, the screen went black.

The sound of artillery fire rang out, and muddy trenches flashed by in the thick smoke.

[No War Tomorrow 1]

[Coming soon]

The entire video is less than two minutes long.

The comment section was completely taken over by players within half a minute.

[Another one coming soon?!]

[Has Earth finally run out of space for all of you? You've already flown out of the solar system, why isn't the game online yet?]

[We've been waiting since winter, and now even interstellar travel has begun!]

What misunderstandings does Chaoxi Games have about the upcoming games?

Why do I feel like this thing has been with me for almost half my life?

I feel like the game will be ready to launch around the time the spaceship arrives on that planet.

At the spaceship's current speed, it will take approximately 360 years.

Now, seeing the words "coming soon" doesn't stir any emotion in me anymore.

[Seriously, stay tuned! Are you kidding me?! This isn't playing a game, it's like training an eagle!]

Another month has passed.

There are already so many trailers for "Love Talks with People" that they could be edited into a short film, but "No War Tomorrow 1" has its first standalone promotional video.

The video opens with a wasteland blackened by artillery fire.

Night fell overhead, and the distant village was shrouded in thick smoke. Several blurry figures dragged the wounded through the mud and water with difficulty, while the time in the corner of the screen was constantly decreasing.

【02:13:41】

With each tick of the countdown, the footsteps grew deeper.

A soldier glanced back at the firelight behind him and was about to continue on his way when the sharp sound of artillery shells whizzing through the sky suddenly came from afar.

The screen suddenly went black.

There was no explosion.

There was no result.

Only one sentence slowly emerged.

Don't let tomorrow die tonight.

Subsequently, the game title "No War Tomorrow 1" appeared.

[Coming soon]

The video ends.

The players in the comments section were silent for a moment, then were once again provoked by this familiar word.

[One is coming soon, another is coming soon—are there any other phrases in Chaoxi Games' promotional materials?]

I have two wishes: one is for the spaceship to land quickly, and the other is for the sun to rise quickly!

[Sister Zhao Zhao, stop hiding, come out and say something!]

[Play games every day, please turn on your microphone to communicate!]

[We've been inviting guests for so long, are we still not done?]

If I never get to play "Love Requires Talking to Someone" in my lifetime, I'll live forever!

[Holy crap! This is so awesome? Don't worry, Chaoxi Games won't let you die.]

I was all ready to start dating, but now my kid's almost old enough to run errands.

[Don't worry, upstairs. Your child can inherit your account and continue waiting.]

The comments section was filled with laughter, but more and more people were actually urging for it to be released.

Some people check in on the official account at set times every day.

[Sixty-eight days waiting for "Love Requires Talking to People" to be released.]

The comment was updated on time the next day.

On the sixty-ninth day, the spaceship still hadn't landed.

In the evening, another line appeared below.

[The first day of waiting for "No War Tomorrow 1" is good... I've lived another day.]

Before long, other players followed suit and started imitating.

Some players even created a table to record the times when Chaoxi Games announced "coming soon" and "stay tuned".

The table was shared over 10,000 times on the day it was released.

There's a summary line at the very bottom.

Based on current data, it is estimated that the game "Day and Night" will soon be a separate unit of time.

Netizens discussed the issue while continuing to urge the authorities to expedite the process.

[Zhaozhao! Please turn on your microphone and communicate!]

[When will the game be released? Even a simple emoji would be helpful!]

[Don't play dumb, I know your operations team is watching!]

If you don't log on soon, I'm really going to make a scene!

[Jiang Bo! If you're so capable, why don't you release a trailer? If you're so capable, why don't you give us a date!]

This is outrageous! This has crossed my line!

I've shed tears for Chaoxi, I've bled for Chaoxi, and I want to be an early adopter in the closed beta!

[How much longer until I log back in, Zhao Zhao! I'm serious, I'm about to be reborn, Zhao Zhao, reply to me quickly, there's no time left...]

Shen Zhaozhao hid in the background, watching the constantly refreshing comments, her finger hovering over the reply box several times before silently withdrawing it.

I cannot go back.

President Jiang specifically instructed that players should not be kept waiting too long, and that they should leave immediately after releasing the trailer!

But the players are getting more and more aggressive, and she's feeling increasingly uneasy.

Finally, Shen Zhaozhao couldn't hold back any longer and ran into the office to ask a question.

"Mr. Jiang, the players are all asking me to turn on my microphone. Are we really not going to respond to a single one? Quite a few are even asking us to do another interview!"

Do you agree?

Jiang Bo looked up at her.

"An interview? That's too offensive! I'm not ready yet!"

"However, you can reply first."

Shen Zhaozhao's spirits lifted.

"What should I reply to?"

Jiang Bo thought for a moment.

"Just say thank you for your anticipation, the game will be released soon."

Shen Zhaozhao stood there, speechless for a long time.

Isn't this just repeating the same thing again?

After seeing this, players probably won't even want her to turn on her microphone.

I'll probably ask for her home address directly, preparing to visit her in person.

"General Manager Jiang."

Shen Zhaozhao took a deep breath, still somewhat unwilling.

"We've made this game but aren't going to release it. Isn't that a waste?"

"How could it be a waste?"

Jiang Bo looked puzzled.

"We release previews every month. Isn't that part of the game's purpose?"

Shen Zhaozhao: "..."

Can you treat a trailer like a game?

She tried to hold back, but she couldn't.

"If we keep releasing like this, the marketing costs will almost catch up with the game development costs."

"Isn't that normal?"

Jiang Bo answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"For many companies in the gaming industry, marketing and promotion should naturally account for the majority of revenue."

"Look how good the player feedback is now."

"Every time we release a trailer, the number of views and comments increases. This shows that everyone hasn't forgotten us; on the contrary, they're looking forward to it more and more each day."

"The game will naturally gain popularity once it's released."

"Don't worry! It'll be ready soon!"
