Chapter 150: Aunties And Game

Chapter 150 Aunties And Game

In the gaming assessment studio of the Otaku Gaming Portal, the argument continued. In terms of THE gameplay, Fun Recipes could score a maximum of 3 points, and this was still because of its great in-game CG. In terms of creativity, it was very interesting, that the cooking process was presented in such an entertaining way. It could easily score 9 points.

But could this type of game sell?

No storylines, no conflicts, the average gamers would not be interested in this kind of game, except for those, who wanted to learn how to cook. But how much would the promotion cost to make these people know that a game like this exists? After all, it was unprecedented.

The number of users, that they had built up over many years, could reduce the expenditure on advertising by more than half, but how many of these users would buy the game because of their interest in cooking? It was obvious that it would not be a lot. They had to attract new audiences.

This needed a huge promotion fee undoubtedly. But would they get the investment back at that time? The sales of the best game, that was made by the Brothel Taoist, was only more than 100,000 copies, and even if the promotion was successful, it would not exceed this number. After deducting the share of game developers, the Otaku Gaming portal was basically losing money. Therefore, it would take a lot of risks to sign this game.

However, a number of people agreed with the idea, that the game was very creative and it even supported motion sensing, which made it become the best learning software for housewives and ordinary chefs. This game could be said that it opened up a whole new category of games, even if it was a little risky, it was a risk that was worth taking.

Nowadays, there were so many cooking classes in society, it could be said that the number of potential customers was still a lot. “Fun Recipe” this game at most only worth around 10 Chinese Yuan, which could be considered as buying cooking learning materials. Full-time housewife not only could learn the cooking process of some main course dishes, but they would also be able to learn how to make some dessert, from the material to the exact process, it was all very detailed.

And they could actually participate in the cooking process, watching the heat and the changes of ingredients’ colors. Which cooking teaching video could do this kind of thing? Not only could players get tips during the cooking process, but they could also get experts’ comments after the cooking, which was a valuable experience that cooking learning video could not give.

It had more content than any cooking learning videos, and it was not expensive, how would it not attract the attention of those housewives?

The two sides held different options, no one could convince each other. It gave Gao Shu a lot of headaches.

No wonder why Zhou Yu did not take the game out, probably he also thought that this game was very tricky, right? But then again, why did he still develop it if he also thought that it was tricky? Oh, right, Zhou Fu had said that “Fun Recipes” was developed because Zhou Yu wanted to learn how to cook.

What a god-like reason.

Helplessly, Gao Shu could only hand over the decision of whether to sign the game to the higher-ups.

The things, that the higher-ups considered, were even more. The representative of the Taoist was Zhou Yu. He was an extremely influential figure in the gaming, manga and animation three industries. Two animated films, “fruit pirates” and “the dragon’s treasure,” had already made him sit on the throne of the domestic animation industry. The studios behind him were even enough to compete with the great studios from other countries.

Such an influential figure, how could they not use this opportunity to get even closer to him?

Of course, the Otaku Gaming portal was not a company that would do this kind of thing. But dealing with a studio that was in a leading position in its industry, it was still better for them to build a good relationship. Besides, this game was indeed really good, although its targeted audience was not within the main audiences of the Otaku Gaming portal, it was not impossible to become successful.

Eventually, the higher-ups of the Otaku Gaming portal decided to sign “Fun Recipes” and assign it to their best marketing team. This time they didn’t follow their old ways of marketing but find any audiences they could reach, and get ready for something big.

So when housewives finished preparing the dinner at night, sat before TV, and got ready to watch their favorite drama, they saw this advertisement.

A beautiful young wife was smiling while sending her husband away for work, but she frowned when she turned around and looked at the kitchen counter because she didn’t know how to cook. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. The young wife tried very hard to improve her cooking skills, but in the end, she only made the kitchen very messy and her face was also blackened by the smoke.

It was at this moment, a game appeared, and then everything changed. The young wife was able to practice her cooking skills using a gaming controller. The ingredients on the computer screen looked very realistic as if they were real things. Seventy-seven main course dishes, thirty-six types of desserts, with just one game, the young wife was able to learn them all. It saved money, time and ingredients.

What the hell is this?

Playing a game to learn how to cook? Some curious housewives started searching for it. It turned out that it was a new kind of games, that had just been launched on a gaming site. There were all kinds of video tutorials, all of them were about how to cook, and every dish had a complete video.

The player could try multiple times without wasting or spending money on the expensive ingredients, and people didn’t need to be scared of making a mess in the kitchen. This was a very attractive factor for many housewives.

But is this game really that good? After all, it’s still a game. Will it really be able to present the real cooking processes? If not, then all the cooking knowledge that people learned from the game would be misleading, and when those people really started to cook in the real life, they would still fail to prepare any dish.

In response to this question, the Otaku Gaming portal even sponsored a TV show, that allowed a well-known cooking show to actually play the game while making dishes on the spot with the same materials that were displayed in the game. The results were basically the same.

Even if the program host was also very curious about the game, in the end, not to mention the audiences before the TV. Some experts also said that the contents of “Fun recipes” were very scientific and rigorous, it was very realistic, and was a very good cooking learning software.

With the omnipresent game advertisement, and the main target audience were housewives, the news immediately caused heated discussion in the ACG communities.

“Oh, my god, Otaku Gaming portal, what are you trying to do?”

“How dare you try to sell games to aunties. How many kids’ asses were whooped by their mothers when they were playing video games? How many game consoles have been hidden away by their moms? And now you want to sell games to those people! ? ”

……

Many people thought that the Otaku Gaming portal was crazy, but they also admired the courage of the Otaku Gaming portal.

Therefore, the game Fun Recipes instantly went viral.

No one knows if it would be a big hit or not, as the game was currently only available for pre-order and it was not officially released yet. But the popularity was real. All kinds of memes were produced one after another and slowly it became a very funny and interesting trend online.

The users of the Otaku Gaming Portal were very confused because it was the first time for them to see a game like this. Shouldn’t you be watching Gordon Ramsay for learning how to cook? What is the Otaku Gaming portal doing? Destroying their own brand? The fans of the Taoist were also dumbstruck. They didn’t expect that after a long silence, the Taoist would release this kind of game.

My dear Taoist, can you stop trolling on the internet?
