Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

[I hope the buttons can be detached, like on a keyboard.]

So Spark's engineers actually removed a keyboard and put the WASD keys from the keyboard onto the handheld console. In fact, if you zoom in on the game, you can still see the screen where you lightly tap W.

But this image isn't a meme yet; we'll have to wait for it to develop further.

The players at the scene already knew by this point that the video was definitely playing with abstract concepts, and you have to admit, it really is abstract.

In the following video, some people said they hoped it could be made detachable like the Switch, and others said they wanted the handheld to support a graphics card dock.

In short, after all that, the final rendering of the "handheld console" that appears before the player is enough to make them burst into laughter.

It was a 32-inch television with two detachable keyboards on the left and right sides. There was a cable on the back that connected to a diesel generator as a power source.

Below the television, there is also a huge "base".

To be honest, when this thing appeared, the whole audience was laughing uncontrollably.

"Then, let's finalize this plan."

"No, no, no, this thing can't be called a handheld game console at all!"

Finally, Lin Li appeared on screen, expressing his approval of the work. Su Shanshan's sharp criticism further heightened the overall comedic effect.

The video then ended, leaving the screen filled with "hahahaha".

A line of text appeared.

[Spark Gaming Handheld]

Star Core

[Let's play together in 2020]

Then came a long string of question marks.

ah!???

No, Spark, are you serious?!

In fact, when Lin Li came out wearing a shirt, some media speculated that Spark might be about to release a handheld game console. Many players who watched the abstract promotional video also roughly understood that this was Spark's way of warming up its own handheld game console.

The problem is, nobody expected it to be 2020!!

At this moment, Li Liang had already sat down completely next to Zhou Shenlin.

"Spark is releasing a handheld console? And it's launching this year? That's impressive..."

Zhou Shenlin nodded.

Then she glanced at her boss sitting next to her. Wait, why are you sitting here? I'm already off work! How am I supposed to leave if you sit here?

Although he was complaining in his heart, Zhou Shenlin still agreed with his boss verbally.

"Yes, 20 years feels a bit too fast. It will probably be launched at the end of the year."

At first, Zhou Shenlin felt a little uncomfortable with his boss sitting next to him, but soon he realized that watching the show with his boss wasn't so bad after all.

Especially when watching trailers, Li Liang is probably a bit of a chatterbox. He not only watches them, but he also rates them.

For example, following the Spark handheld trailer, the PV for "Adventure and Barbecue" followed immediately.

"Wow, this is amazing!"

"There are a lot of details here, it seems quite interesting."

"These chopping and stroking tools are specially designed for game consoles. Hey, we can add these things to our games too. For example, we can use the touchpad to reel in fishing line."

"That's fine. Remember to contact Xinghuo tomorrow; we need to get the game development kit."

20 1 Month 1 Day.

Bilibili.

The sky was overcast, and a torrential downpour seemed to veil the sky with a thin layer of gauze. Looking down at the city, the atmosphere was incredibly oppressive.

However, no matter how bad the weather was, it didn't affect Qiu Yang's mood.

As the assistant director of Bilibili's "Most Beautiful Night," after finishing work today, I'll have a week of compensatory leave.

Since the preparations for "The Most Beautiful Night" began, he has been extremely busy. Although he still has to attend the company's debriefing meeting today, the thought that he can have a holiday after the debriefing and no longer have to work overtime every night is very comforting.

I felt refreshed immediately.

Qiu Yang arrived at his office in the elevator, his steps light and lively.

Although the word "light and lively" is somewhat inappropriate to describe a man, the feeling he gave off when he left was indeed light and lively.

Li An, a planner who also worked at the Tomorrow Studio, turned to look at Qiu Yang when he saw Qiu Yang practically hopping towards the office.

"So, did you watch the New Year's Eve program?"

As Ang Lee looked at Qiu Yang, Qiu Yang also saw Ang Lee.

"what?"

Ang Lee replied somewhat blankly.

"Quite impressive."

Qiu Yang glanced at Li An.

"There's no one else around here. I'm not talking about our own New Year's Eve celebration; I'm asking about Xinghuo's New Year's Eve gala. Did you watch it?"

"..."

Ang Lee paused for a moment, then added a sentence.

"I'm talking about Xinghuo's New Year's Eve Gala."

"..."

Qiu Yang's eyes widened.

"Something's not right, Li An. Why did you think of Xinghuo's New Year's Eve Gala first? I remember you were the program planner for Bilibili's Most Beautiful Night, you traitor."

Ang Lee rolled his eyes at Qiu Yang and retorted.

"Then why did you ask about the Spark New Year's Eve Gala first? You're also the deputy director of The Most Beautiful Night. Who's the traitor here?"

Chapter 494 Who is the Traitor?

Qiu Yang: "..."

Ang Lee: "..."

The two looked at each other.

They were both speechless.

Ok.

It's an aura of insecurity...

There was a moment of silence.

"Undeniably, in terms of current discussion, Xinghuo's New Year's Eve gala and awards ceremony are stronger than ours."

Ang Lee felt a little awkward, so he spoke first.

"But we're not bad either. Overall, the 'Most Beautiful Night' event still went as planned. And although our live stream viewership didn't beat Spark's last night, our recorded replays saw a significant rebound this morning!"

"Isn't this because those viewers who watched the Spark New Year's Eve live broadcast yesterday are only watching the replay today?"

Ang Lee: "..."

Qiu Yang: "..."

The two looked at each other again.

"That's not very interesting. Although we lost, it's not a shameful defeat. Look at their lineup and ours."

"Wow, the opening scene features Shigeru Miyamoto, Satomi Ishihara, and Yui Aragaki."

"This is just about the celebrities. There are also a lot of game projects. There's also Xinghuo's Star Core handheld console, which is all over the internet right now. People are begging Xinghuo to hold a press conference. That thread has almost 100,000 comments."

“When we were being criticized, we weren’t criticized by this many people.”

When Ang Lee saw Qiu Yang suddenly become agitated, he sighed.

"Alright, I didn't say we didn't do a good enough job, why are you getting so worked up?"

"Indeed, we have to admit that Xinghuo's stage setup is pretty good, not to mention they also have activities to support them. Wow, they can choose any game they want."

"This boldness is even greater than when President Chen gave away premium memberships back then..."

Upon hearing Qiu Yang mention this, Li An immediately shook his head.

"Hey, you can't say that! The membership giveaway event is over, and the company doesn't have that kind of event anymore."

Qiu Yang nodded.

"Yes, I know, but Xinghuo is really going all out this time. We can't compete with them just in terms of generating buzz."

“I think so too.” Li An nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Moreover, it's not just about the gimmicks. I feel that the other side is also much better than us in terms of stage design and program arrangement. You know, when the voice actors from World of Warcraft came out, I was a little surprised. Spark is really good at using programs to capture the audience's emotions. They also know very well what kind of emotions the audience wants when watching the program."

"For series like Battlefront Girls and Destiny's Path, we'll use girls dancing; for series like Sekiro, we'll use martial arts..."

“That makes sense,” Qiu Yang nodded.

"Actually, I had thought of these things before, but the company cut a lot of things in order to maintain stability. However, now that Spark is finished this year, we can edit Spark's programs and break them down. Speaking of which, I really want to watch Spark's New Year's Eve Gala again."

"You know what, I kind of feel the same way..."

"and many more."

After the two talked for a while, Qiu Yang suddenly realized what was happening and his eyes widened.

"Why are we talking about Spark all the time? Today's our debriefing meeting. Speaking of which, Ang Lee, did you write your report? The report on our own gala..."

Ang Lee remained silent for a while.

"No, I didn't have time to write it..."

Qiu Yang stared at him for a moment.

"What? You didn't write it? You talk so much about Xinghuo's programs, but you didn't write anything about our own programs. Did you even watch our gala?"

Ang Lee subconsciously looked up at the ceiling of his office.

"Uh... um... no, I didn't finish reading it."

"What the hell..."

Seeing that Qiu Yang seemed a little angry, Li An chuckled awkwardly.

"We've already seen all of our own programs during rehearsals, haven't we? Watching them again would be pointless. I'm going to scout out the enemy's situation."

"Speaking of which, Brother Qiu, have you written your report yet? Can I take a look at it?"

Li An asked somewhat guiltily. He came to the company so early today not for anything else, but to copy homework. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been chatting with Qiu Yang for so long.

Now we've finally reached the most crucial step.

Then he saw Qiu Yang's eyes also begin to wander.

"Hey! Brother Qiu? You didn't... either?"

Qiu Yang glared at him.

"No, I didn't. I'm the assistant director, how could I not have watched it? It's just that I finished watching it a bit late... Hey, wait, why didn't you write it down? I was planning to refer to yours..."

"What? You're the assistant director, I'm just a planner. Have you ever seen a class where the vice class monitor copies the group leader's homework?"

Ang Lee looked speechless, and the two immediately started arguing.

Of course, this chatter was mostly in jest. At this point, the entire "Most Beautiful Night" team was just waiting for the next day off, and everyone was in good spirits.

"Hey hey hey! Brother Ding is here. He must have written it. Let's go, let's copy his."

Just as they were arguing, another person walked into the office.

Ding Taiyu
