I Developed The Zombie Apocalypse And Netizens Went Crazy With Excitement Novel

Chapter 4


Storm Gaming Company Is Inferior to a Small Development Team

Meanwhile, Apocalypse Tomorrow, which opened its server, attracted numerous players.

Within just a few hours after the server opened, Apocalypse Tomorrow had reached 1 million users.

The theme of the game was surviving in the apocalyptic world. A sudden biohazard crisis had turned 99% of the citizens into bloodthirsty monsters.

The other 1% of citizens struggled to survive in a world full of monsters. Players had to kill monsters with their characters to upgrade their levels, obtaining more robust equipment to build their homes.

Players also need to work hard on expanding the scope of control of their homeland to survive in the apocalypse.

Usually, these games relied on collecting equipment or players making their equipment themselves.

Most players played the game with the same thought, but they soon found that the game was completely different from what they had imagined!

[What the heck is this? Why are we picking up trash in the city? The most powerful weapon I can get for free is just a knife? Are you kidding me? Where’s the gun? Where’s the bolt?]

[Darn it! Top-up 30 yuan to get a USP pistol? Storm Gaming Company is crazy about money, huh? The point is that I might not be able to kill the zombie even if I shoot the zombie’s head with it!]

[It’s disgusting. Isn’t it a game with high degrees of freedom? Isn’t it an open world? How are we supposed to play with a world full of trash? Where is the open world?]

[Refund! It’s a publicity scam. I was too naive to believe that Storm Gaming Company would make a good game!]

Soon, the forum was filled with curses against the Storm Gaming Company.

As the saying goes, the higher the expectation, the higher the disappointment. Storm Gaming Company’s overwhelming publicity attracted worldwide players’ attention.

However, it also caused players to have high expectations of the game.

In the end, the game showed its true colors when it was officially released.

Every powerful piece of equipment had to be purchased!

The so-called open world with high degrees of freedom was just a piece of crap. It was just a promotional concept that cheated people into purchasing equipment while playing games!

As for surviving the apocalypse? You could survive everywhere if you were rich!

As long as you had topped up enough money, you could even get planes and tanks on the first day of the server’s opening.

Except for the flaws in the way the game was played, the quality of Apocalypse Tomorrow’s graphics also disappointed the netizens.

It was obvious that the model of the game scene was crudely made. There were stickers everywhere and numerous bugs while playing the game.

Many players were killed by monsters and lost their experience points when they accidentally triggered the bugs.

Players started to refuse to play such a game after having a terrible gaming experience.

Even the streamers who the Storm Gaming Company was paying for promotion had trouble playing the game.

They had to play the game as entertainingly as possible since they had received money from the Storm Gaming Company.

However, the live stream was filled with curses and nasty comments. Some viewers were urging the host to change the game as soon as possible, saying they would unsubscribe the host if they insisted on playing Apocalypse Tomorrow!

[Is there anything fun about this stupid game? You had better continue to stream LOL. Although LOL is an old game, its graphic is much better than this!]

[That’s right! Host, hurry up and change the game. Otherwise, we’ll switch to another room to watch the live stream!]

[Sigh. Nowadays, it’s hard for streamers to make money. You still need to play the game as entertainingly as possible even though it’s a piece of shit.]

Meanwhile, a comment suddenly appeared in the comment section of the live stream room.

[Hey guys, I’ve just watched Angelica’s live stream and found that she seems to be playing a zombie open-world game called Zombie Apocalypse. Does any of you heard of it?]

[Zombie Apocalypse? Is it an indie game? What can a small development team do even when the Storm Gaming Company can’t produce exciting games?]

[I’ve just watched Angelica’s live stream too! Zombie Apocalypse seems to be an exciting game. Let’s not talk about it anymore. I’m going to watch it since the game now explains the story’s plot!]

[Eh? Is it really that attractive? I’ll go and take a look too!]

Similar comments appeared in the comment sections of many streamers.

Most of them thought Zombie Apocalypse was a boring game. They didn’t have any expectations for the game.

However, they were more disappointed with Apocalypse Tomorrow. People joined Angelica’s live-streaming room one after another to see whether Zombie Apocalypse was inferior to Apocalypse Tomorrow.

From tens of thousands of viewers, Angelica’s live stream has now received hundreds of thousands of viewers!

Only the top streamers could achieve such a number of views on the platform.

Meanwhile, Angelica controlled Alice and followed the Special Forces to The Hive in the game.

Soon, the Special Forces cracked the door’s password with their computers. Then, everyone entered The Hive.

Inside The Hive, it was silent as death. Angelica could hear nothing. It was completely different from the description of a laboratory with thousands of employees.

Since it was underground, the icy wind occasionally came out of the ventilation pipes!

Additionally, in the presence of the advanced physical engine, Angelica couldn’t help but hug her arms to stay warm.

“We are still clueless about what happened here. The Red Queen suddenly activated the defense mechanisms of the laboratory and locked it down after killing everyone!”

“Hence, our goal is to shut down the laboratory’s artificial intelligence control system, The Red Queen!”

As they entered, the captain explained the mission to Alice, Matt, and the others.

As the crowd went inside, they passed by a place storing formalin tanks.

The viewers widened their eyes as they saw human bodies filled in the formalin tanks.

[Are there people floating in these jars? Am I right?]

[Gosh, the game seems interesting. It’s very detailed.]

[Jesus! Did you guys just see someone in the jar move his fingers? It’s so scary!]

[This is how a horror game should be! It’s much more interesting than games that only scare players with ghosts!]

Meanwhile, a black-and-white plot animation suddenly popped up.

The animation showed a man and a woman making out in a room. Obviously, the woman was Alice, the character played by Angelica.

As for the man, the viewers were shocked when they saw his appearance and thought, “Wasn’t he the other man with an unknown name on the team?”

What was his relationship with Alice?

Soon, the audience was surprised by the 18+ rated animation.

[Damn, is this something I can watch for free?]

[I didn’t expect the game to have 18+ rated scenes. It seems so real!]

[Ha ha! The game looks much more exciting than Apocalypse Tomorrow merely with this scene!]

[Everyone, please don’t mention Apocalypse Tomorrow anymore. It’s a trashy game!]

[I agree! The Zombie Apocalypse is the hope of our gaming industry, with no doubts!]
