You said you would make games by yourself, but how did you become the richest man by doing nothing?

"According to an inside source I know, Doggy Paradise's data clearly peaked early and then declined. On the first day of its public beta, it once topped the bestseller lists of various platforms, with DAU (daily active users) reaching 80,000 and ARPU (average revenue per user) soaring to 200 yuan. The next-day retention rate was also decent, at around 40%."

"However, with the sudden rise of Leisurely Island Owner, it was struck down with one blow, directly cutting off Doggy Paradise's momentum. Doggy Paradise immediately began a hellish mode of steadily declining online users!"

"The group's senior management originally had high expectations for this project, but they were greatly disappointed. The vice president in charge of the Interactive Entertainment Business Group directly made the general manager of Di Mei sign a military pledge."

"The Doggy Paradise project team began layoffs. The original lead planner was dismissed, and the producer received a one-star performance rating."

A day later, another planner who had been laid off from the project team ran to NGA to post a complaint:

"To quickly rush out a new version of Doggy Paradise, the project team has been working overtime in three shifts. I haven't closed my eyes for two days and two nights. I just went to the tea room to rest for a while and was dismissed after a talk with HRBP."

"2nd floor reply: Pat on the shoulder, the tea room nap is just an excuse for layoffs. I wish you find your next job soon."

"3rd floor reply: The data is already like this, being beaten to the ground by Peach Blossom Village. Why are you still working overtime? Just lie down and accept the ridicule."

"OP replying to 3rd floor: There's no way, the higher-ups have issued a military pledge, and a new version must be released within a week to update the main storyline and make a final struggle."

The new main storyline mentioned by this poster was previewed earlier this week.

Doggy Paradise is an online game and does need to constantly update its subsequent main storyline and new levels.

However, the project team encountered unprecedented difficulties during production.

The reason is simple: the previous levels were made so quickly because it was easy to use the Sharingan, directly copying Cat Paradise, without having to use their own brains.

But Cat Paradise is a single-player game, and the game has long ended.

When it really came time to create their own original content, they found it wasn't that easy.

……

Evening, June 29th.

The new main storyline that the Doggy Paradise production team finally squeezed out was officially released.

This storyline DLC is called "Doggy Paradise Aftermath: Earth Superpowered Task Force."

It tells the story of John, after escaping from Paradise with Ilya and the other dog-girls, a year later, aliens from the Sagittarius galaxy take advantage of Earth's weakness and prepare to mechanically descend, completely occupying Earth.

Squirrel John and the dog-girls form a superpowered task force and, together with the surviving humans hiding in underground fortresses, wage guerrilla warfare in the ruins of cities around the world, jointly resisting the alien invasion.

Although the setting is a passionate battle against aliens, the plot is quite cliché, with constant logical flaws.

Whether it's Squirrel John or dog-girl Ilya, their characters have all collapsed.

Especially in the story's ending, the game once again reveals an unexpected truth: the very existence of the dog-girls is related to Sagittarius alien technology.

In the original Cat Paradise, beast-eared girls originated from genetic modification. This directly contradicts the game's setting, creating inconsistencies.

After this DLC was released, the game's already precarious reputation collapsed again!

Angry players flooded the game's review section, starting a frenzy of criticism:

"What's wrong with you guys? Why is the experience of this DLC so different from before? The previous story was so touching, what kind of garbage are you writing now?"

"A true dog's tail continuing a sable, I could have my husky randomly press keys on the keyboard and it would write better than you."

"Upstairs, you may not know, the early plot of this game was directly copied from Peach Blossom Village. Their true level is in the subsequent self-written content."

Doggy Paradise's official Weibo and D station feeds were once again flooded by players.

After being criticized into shutting down, the officials issued an apology notice overnight, stating that they would reduce main storyline updates in the future and focus on bringing players a novel combat experience.

This apology notice was immediately bombarded by players again:

"Let me translate for everyone, the so-called novel combat experience is just more pay-to-win combat props."

"It's already like this, and you're still unwilling to give out any benefits to appease public anger. You're really stingy to the extreme."

"If the officials really have no ideas, they can bite a lighter."

The more they do, the more mistakes they make; the more mistakes they make, the more they do. Doggy Paradise has already fallen into a vicious cycle of collapsing reputation...

……

June 30th, Shenzhen City.

Liu's Holding Group Global Headquarters, Chairman Liu Lan's office.

Liu Lan sat in the high-backed chair behind her desk, constantly flipping through the reports and documents placed in front of her.

Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, but the atmosphere inside the room was like the dead of winter, filled with oppressive tension.

On the other side of the desk, Manager Shi, the head of Youyi Company, stood respectfully.

He was wearing a dark blue suit, with a nervous, fawning smile on his face. Fine beads of sweat dotted his forehead, and the collar of his shirt was also damp with sweat.

His eyes dared not look directly at Liu Lan, but instead kept shifting around the office, as if searching for a sense of security.

"Speak," Liu Lan said, her voice emerging from her lightly made-up, stunningly beautiful face.

Her voice had the unique laziness and magnetism of a mature woman, but it was also mixed with an aura of authority, preventing any man around her from having presumptuous thoughts.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Manager Shi tried his best to keep his voice steady:

"Chairman, Youyi Company's revenue performance for this month is stable. Our market share in the domestic game market remains second, only behind Tenghui Interactive Entertainment.

The company's revenue base is mainly composed of some Chinese-style MMOs represented by 'Dream Westward Journey' and 'Great Talk Westward Journey,' as well as overseas-licensed games represented by 'Magic Dragon World' and 'Bright Destroyer God.'

Currently, in the MMO category, our company's 'Dream Westward Journey' remains the national number one, with peak concurrent users exceeding 3 million."

Liu Lan crossed her arms in front of her chest, slightly raised her chin, and looked down at Manager Qian, her eyes carrying a hint of scrutiny.

Her body language caused a sense of unease to surge in Manager Shi's heart.

"Manager Shi, today is the first time you've reported directly to me, so you may not be familiar with my style. The things you just said are all written in the reports, and I don't need you to repeat them.

I want to hear things that are not in the reports. You're a smart man, you should understand what I mean."

After Liu Lan finished speaking, the aura around her became even more sharp, and Manager Shi subconsciously took a small step back, like a frightened bird.

Realizing his gaffe, he steadied his slightly trembling body, his throat bobbed slightly, and he replied with difficulty:

"Yes, Chairman, I... I will report truthfully.

This month, the old product lines and agency business lines have no problems, but there have been some issues with the self-developed system.

The most serious problem is with our Frostwolf Studio.

Frostwolf Studio's previous shooting game had poor sales and has been losing money for a year. This month, the studio is planning to develop an online game with a modern urban theme, based on its own strengths, to seek to turn losses into profits."

Manager Shi rubbed his pants with his hands from time to time, cautiously glancing at Liu Lan.

Seeing that she didn't interrupt, he felt a little relieved and continued slowly:

"The head of Frostwolf Studio told me that they are quite confident in their next game.

Our studio has chosen the urban theme, and the working title of the new game is 'Boss Simulator.'

The reason for establishing this project is also because, after careful investigation, we found that the modern urban theme game market is still an untapped blue ocean.

We believe that in the short term, it is unlikely that other domestic game companies will establish urban-themed games that directly compete with us."

Manager Shi said this with considerable confidence. Even if other small studios accidentally started similar projects, they would have to keep it to themselves!

With Liu Lan's Liu Group's reputation and Youyi Company's research and development and channel strength, which short-sighted game company would overestimate its capabilities and clash with Youyi Company's schedule?
