The judges present were generally not very optimistic about Chen Ran's team's proposal, mainly because there was no successful experience with this type of game in China.

Even games like Sekiro and Elden, which are widely acclaimed worldwide, have a long history of evolution and have also experienced failures.

Tencent's game development team lacked experience, or rather, production experience, and the judges didn't believe they could handle this kind of subject matter.

Just like when a science fiction author suddenly wants to switch to the fantasy genre, the editor will advise them to seriously consider it.

Moreover, all Chen Ran talked about was confidence, enthusiasm, and meticulous plans.

Of course, Chen Ran answered all the questions about game design very well, which showed that he had prepared carefully.

(I don't know much about game design myself, so I won't go into detail.)

Ren Yu concluded, "Very good, very insightful."

"The judges' questions were very valid, and Chen Ran's answers were also very good."

"The most important aspect of your Soulslike games is the combat system, yet the combat system itself wasn't shown much in your demo."

"I think we can give you some more time. Once you've created the demo of the first battle scene, we'll decide whether to increase our investment."

"Mr. Li, what's your opinion?"

Li Miaomiao is so young to be the vice president of Kechuang Biotechnology, and with her outstanding looks, she has been the subject of much media hype.

She's quite well-known; almost all the Tencent employees sitting in the audience recognized her. Even those who didn't recognize her face could remember her by seeing her name on her nameplate.

Li Miaomiao felt that the style of this work was very close to Zheng Li's requirements, and the addition of some strange plants to the Chinese Cthulhu style did not seem out of place.

She said directly, "I think it's great. Domestic games need this kind of fresh blood and the spirit of daring to innovate."

"After watching it, I really want to try it out. Once you make a beta version, I can help you test it for free."

Li Miaomiao had only seen clips of other people playing Soulslike games on Weibo, those short videos of a few dozen seconds, and had never played them herself.

Firstly, she didn't have time to play, and secondly, she considered herself clumsy and unable to play such a difficult game.

......

"Mr. Ren, today's brain-computer interface VR system and your company's internal solution selection have broadened my horizons. Tencent truly deserves to be called a domestic Internet giant, with a wealth of talent."

There were about fifty proposals, and each proposal was given a maximum of ten minutes to present.

At the end of the day, Li Miaomiao took the opportunity to visit the development progress of the brain-computer interface VR operating system and experience the demo version of the system.

To facilitate staff allocation, the VR system developers were assigned to Kechuang Future, but their work location was set up in the Tencent Building in Shenzhen.

Rice transferred several hundred people, including senior developers of the MIUI system.

Tencent has the technical strength to create Tencent Cloud.

As a core component of Tencent's future strategy, everyone at Tencent has reached a consensus that the VR operating system can be considered one of the tickets to the future metaverse.

With technological advancements, Kechuang Biotechnology is taking brain-computer interfaces a step further, converting electrical signals into neural signals in the brain. For example, it's entirely possible that brain-computer interface VR could induce feelings of pain.

With such a high level of attention, the brain-computer interface system is quite good; at least in Li Miaomiao's layman's eyes, it has met her expectations.

Ren Yu humbly said, "The brain-computer interface system still has many shortcomings, whether it is interface calling, image optimization, or hardware compatibility. There is still a lot of work to be done."

"We are allocating as many people as possible to this project without affecting the company's normal business operations."

"It will definitely not affect the release of brain-computer interface VR this fall."

"Whether it's our headquarters or our partners, we will definitely provide a batch of high-quality VR games to enrich the ecosystem."

Since the first iPod launch event was held in the fall, Apple has maintained the tradition of releasing new iPhones in the fall.

Since then, many electronic product launches, especially mobile phone launches, have tended to be concentrated in the fall.

The decision to launch the Science and Technology Innovation Future in the fall carries both a sense of tribute and a sense of pioneering a new era.

In the view of Kechuang Future, brain-computer interface VR is the next generation of products that is closest to the concept of the metaverse and has the potential to become an epoch-making product.

Li Miaomiao: "I have faith in Tencent's progress, and today's game proposal has left a deep impression on me."

"Especially that Chinese-style Cthulhu Souls game, I think we need to have our own representative work. If Tencent has any concerns about this proposal, Kechuang Bio is willing to invest with Tencent."
