More than two months had passed in a flash since the last virtual reality experiment began.
The autumn weather had already brought layers of chill, and there were only a little over three months left until the release of the ar glasses.
With the full cooperation of Entropy Entertainment, several prototypes of the ar glasses, equipped with pokemon, were finally produced a few days ago.
Several designers, led by Yǔ, and their familiar companions, using testing as an excuse, began a series of intense and exciting pokemon battles.
Among them, Yǔ, as the lead designer, repeatedly won battles thanks to his excellent understanding of pokemon, and in just a few days, he stood at the pinnacle of existing trainers!
Among them, according to an old man named Sin who wished to remain anonymous: "That scoundrel always pulls out max-level Legendary pokemon when he can't win. How are we supposed to fight when we don't have Legendary pokemon? Isn't that just clearly disgusting? You scoundrel, be careful on your way home from work; don't let me catch you alone, or you'll get a taste of your own medicine!"
Ahem, in short, Yǔ was certainly enjoying himself.
After the battle, thanks to Yǔ's excellent handiwork, Bronya finally calmed down and walked out of the laboratory with him in her arms.
"Brother, the test results are out!"
Seele and Kaguya quickly scurried over, looking at him and reporting with a smile: "All tests are within the normal range, however, the influence of ambient light on the pokemon occasionally has some delay, with a display error of about 0.1 seconds."
"I see, the problem isn't big. Bronya, this project was mainly handled by Sakura from the team before. Remember to notify her and have her fix this small bug."
After giving instructions to Bronya, he looked at Seele and Kaguya again.
"More rigorous testing will begin in a day, and I'll have to trouble both of you to keep an eye on it then."
The two quickly shook their heads, and Kaguya held his hand and said, "It's nothing, husband's work is much harder than ours."
As the chief designer of the entire pokemon project, Yǔ had indeed been quite busy for the past six months. Every day, he not only had to hold meetings and assign tasks to people from various teams but also needed to coordinate the overall progress of the game's completion. On most workdays, he would be busy from morning till night, and if it weren't for the strong insistence of Seele and the other two, he might even voluntarily work overtime on Sundays.
"It's mostly finished now, so I'm not that busy anymore."
He stroked Seele and Kaguya's little heads, and seeing their contented expressions, Yǔ also smiled.
"Oh, right."
Remembering something else, Yǔ looked at Bronya beside him: "Weren't you busy with the promotional video before? Is it done?"
The promotional video was naturally handed over to the film company under Anti-Entropy. The group gave them ample funds and two months' time, so it should have been fine by now.
"It's already done."
Yǔ's words made Bronya recall the short film, and she immediately said with admiration, "As far as I'm concerned, I can't find any fault with it; they did a perfect job."
"Oh? Then I'll have to look forward to it. You know, among the three companies, Destiny and Shencheng Technology started their preheating for ar glasses a few days ago, and only our Anti-Entropy has no news yet. The users on the internet must have cursed us terribly by now."
Hearing this, Seele paused, then scratched her cheek, a little embarrassed: "Well, about the online public opinion, it's really not that good..."
"It's okay, the reviews will turn around very quickly."
Waving his hand casually, Yǔ continued, "I've seen the trailers from Destiny and Shencheng Technology. Their promotion methods are still the same as before for ar glasses, mainly promoting various apps, the convenience of information exchange, and as for games, they're still the same old party board games. Apart from adding some real-time interaction, they can be said to have no highlights. They have such good performance, but they only use it for these things. Tsk tsk tsk, what a waste..."
Listening to him talk eloquently, the three girls blinked, suppressing the urge to complain.
Did he really think anyone could develop a game that could be called groundbreaking in just over half a year like him? Didn't Destiny and Shencheng Technology want to?
Of course not, it's just that they couldn't do it in a short amount of time.
It was only with Yǔ's complete design, Cocolia's support, and the full operation of Entropy Entertainment that this difficult-to-replicate achievement was successfully created.
"Did they say when the promotional video will be released? I'll go to the blog then and greet my lovely players. After more than half a year of no news, some people have already lit incense in my comment section."
He asked Bronya with a slight laugh.
"The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at 8 AM North America time, it will be released worldwide simultaneously. Tonight, they'll probably start preheating and releasing a trailer for the trailer."
"Shall we watch it together at home then?"
"Sounds good, it's the weekend, so we can just lie in the bedroom and watch it together~"
"Should we call Kaguya?"
"Can you handle it?"
"...Let's just watch it on the sofa in the living room then."
...
Far away in the Far East.
In a very cozy living room, a family of five was laughing and eating dinner.
"Sirin, tomorrow is the weekend, let's go to Mei's house together right away, and come back tomorrow!"
Kiana said to Sirin beside her, while shoveling rice into her bowl.
"It's so late, won't we disturb them?"
Across from them, a gentle-looking woman with long silver hair said softly.
"Oh, Mom, Mei is always alone at home. She'll be happy to have us over to keep her company."
"Really? Well, then, be careful when you go out so late."
Cecilia looked at her daughters with eyes full of tenderness, wiping a grain of rice from Kiana's face and adding another bowl of rice to her bowl.
"It's fine, I can go and take you."
On Kiana's other side, a silently eating blonde girl suddenly spoke.
Bianka Schariac, Cecilia's eldest daughter, is currently studying at Saint Freya University.
As for why the three daughters have three different hair colors, well, one can only say it was all an accident.
Bianka's life was in danger due to a traffic accident when she was young, and her golden hair was a side effect of treatment at Destiny Headquarters. Sirin's case was even more absurd; when she was little, she followed her parents to Destiny Headquarters and, due to her playful nature, accidentally wandered into a laboratory where an experiment was being conducted. She didn't know what she ate, but her body was fine, yet her hair turned purple and couldn't change back.
"Really? Thank you, Sister!!"
"I won't be going."
Just as Kiana was excited, Sirin's voice poured cold water on her.
"Huh?!! Why not!!"
Finishing the rice in her bowl, Sirin wiped her mouth and jumped off the chair, looking at Kiana and saying, "I still have to stream, and tonight there's a trailer for Bronya's new game."
"New game? Didn't they say the trailer was at 8 AM?"
"That's North America time, you idiot! We're fourteen hours ahead of them!"
Sirin rolled her eyes at the silly Kiana and quickly ran back to her room.
