(Disclaimer: Please do not search for images of the dishes featured in the variety show, please do not!!!)
After Lin Xiaoxiao agreed, Sheng Yiyi immediately ended her vacation and joined the other staff members who were out collecting material.
The field research progressed quickly. After receiving the materials, Lin Xiaoxiao omitted some common and widely accepted information.
The food variety show is still gathering inspiration, but the corresponding game has already been completed.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't have high requirements for this game. The art style was a familiar old-fashioned cartoon style, and the background style had a slight ancient feel, but not much.
The game club and the animation club had several disagreements over art styles, and I heard that the old men in the animation club almost got angry.
The situation was almost a matter of one leaving and the other staying, but unexpectedly, the newcomer in the game department probably found out about the animation department staff from other employees and took the initiative to apologize.
The people in the game department never expected that the animated films they had watched since childhood were actually made by these old men and women who they considered outdated. Suddenly, the art style became more pleasing to the eye.
The elderly men and women didn't make things difficult for them and cooperated by making changes, trying to keep up with the current style.
Lin Xiaoxiao rushed over to mediate after finishing the movie's release, but the matter was handled internally.
In the end, Lin Xiaoxiao, who arrived at the scene, could only try out the "Dark Cuisine" mini-game.
The game is small. At the beginning, the protagonist is a cartoonish, chibi-style, dark-looking little person. Currently, only one map area is open, where you can collect various ingredients to make food.
The preparation process is very simple. Just select the ingredients, cooking method, and cooking time to make the dish. Of course, at the beginning, you can only choose one type of ingredient and one cooking method. As you level up, the types of ingredients and cooking methods will gradually increase.
Unlike other food-themed games, in this game, the more normal and delicious the dish, the lower the score, or even a complete failure. The more outrageous the ingredients and cooking methods, the higher the score, with a maximum score of three stars.
Despite her mediocre culinary talent, Lin Xiaoxiao repeatedly created three-star dishes, gradually becoming more and more immersed in the art. She was then surprised to discover that everything she saw on the map could be collected, such as tree branches, trunks, and insect wings, filling her low-level food warehouse to overflowing.
When the game department came to ask for feedback, Lin Xiaoxiao finally snapped out of her game and realized she had been playing for so long. The college graduates the company hired were too amazing! This little game wouldn't make money for Platform Y, would it? No way, if it made money for Platform Y, she'd be furious.
Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. Since the copyright was jointly owned, she might as well not charge any fees. Either way, she would make a profit, but the other party would suffer a huge loss.
"The game is free."
Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't played many games before, but she knew that games needed a revenue stream. However, she didn't want to introduce advertising, as that might make it easy to lose control of the game.
Since we can't think of a revenue stream, let's leave it for now.
"Let's run it on a trial basis first, and we'll add more revenue streams later."
After finishing up the game-related matters and seeing that stores across the country were starting to be renovated, Lin Xiaoxiao joined up with the Dark Cuisine variety show team.
After filming began, Lin Xiaoxiao regretted it a little.
She didn't expect these foods to be so harmful. Every day, as she approached the recording site, her body would reflexively vomit, and even plugging her nose with tissues didn't help.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the crew members, all of whom looked pale and sickly. She thought to herself, "I should give everyone a big bonus and a long vacation after this is over. This job is really torture!"
However, there were exceptions. Zhang Erdai picked up his soy milk and drank it with relish while looking at the others and shaking his head, complaining that they didn't know what they were talking about.
"This is the real flavor! You guys are too unlucky to enjoy it, hmph."
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't expect Zhang Erdai to have such a heavy taste; he could drink it without batting an eye, even though it tasted like swill.
However, Zhang Erdai's joy didn't last long. When they arrived at the next recording location, everyone except the recommended staff, including Zhang Erdai himself, was extremely disappointed.
"Cow dung hotpot, is it really cooking dung? Yue, I can't take it anymore."
The staff member who made the recommendation seemed a bit confused. "No, it's all gastric juice. Besides, cows and sheep are herbivores, not omnivores. Don't be fooled by the smell and bitter taste; if you pay close attention, you'll find a sweet aftertaste."
Zhang Erdai couldn't take it anymore and hurriedly ran out. The others, unable to bear it any longer, also ran out.
Lin Xiaoxiao was filled with mixed feelings. Was this a prank on Y platform and Lin Ruizhe, or on herself?! It was truly a case of hurting the enemy a thousand while injuring herself eight hundred! If she could do it all over again, she would never film that culinary disaster variety show! Never!
After rinsing my mouth, I quietly ordered gas masks to ensure everyone had two.
By the middle of filming, everyone had lost a lot of weight, and the twelve recommenders were starting to dislike each other. Lin Xiaoxiao really didn't know what could possibly be more unpalatable than this kind of culinary disaster.
The earlier dishes had a stronger smell, but they were all okay to eat. However, when it came to the final dish, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately turned into a terrifying mask.
"Aaaaaah!! There's still hair!! Yue"
Zhang Erdai peeled the eggshell, and his entire body immediately experienced a stress response.
Lin Xiaoxiao had already put on a mask, but unfortunately, as a director, although she could hide behind the camera, she couldn't close her eyes and had to watch the culinary disasters on camera.
This is torture!!! When will this ever end?!
When they finally managed to get a picture of a seemingly normal egg, the strong smell of ammonia made everyone silently put on their gas masks.
As it cooked, the flavor became increasingly concentrated, until finally one of the staff members couldn't take it anymore, set up the equipment, and ran out.
