Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Especially Black Myth: Wukong

For Hideo Kojima, his art style can absolutely be called art.

and so.

He then developed even stronger feelings for Lin Li.

"So, in President Lin's view, how can games better embody art and be accepted by a wider audience?"

For all producers.

The period leading up to a game's release is the most difficult.

Hideo Kojima is no exception.

Death Stranding will be released in two months, but in previous internal reviews and even media reviews, the reviews for Death Stranding have not been very good.

This made him a little nervous.

Lin Li said with a relaxed tone and a smile.

"Perhaps you can join Spark."

"Hahaha"

Hideo Kojima also realized that he might have been speaking too intimately with someone he didn't know well.

The two then chatted about their experiences and thoughts on game development.

Lin Li also shared some of his experiences and stories from the creative process.

Lin Li often talks about these things in the country, and he's so skilled at it that it's almost like a stand-up comedy routine.

Therefore, not only did Hideo Kojima listen with great interest, but soon other game producers nearby also gathered around.

The crowd formed a semicircle around Lin Li.

This is usually a very common occurrence, but soon a reporter caught on and took a photo from the right angle.

This photo.

Lin Li stood in the very center, surrounded by a group of game producers who listened to his speech as if they were the center of a constellation.

Even more amazing.

The stage lights shone down on everyone behind them.

Seeing it in person didn't evoke any particular feeling, but in the photos, the scene appears quite sacred.

That night.

The photo quickly went viral and spread widely in global media circles.

That night.

Xinhua News Agency even used this photo as the cover of its news briefing.

Domestic gamers also rave about this photo.

Some curious players even managed to identify the producers standing next to Lin Li in the photo.

The players then realized this.

Besides Hideo Kojima, the others are also formidable figures: the producer of Stardew Valley, the lead creator of Baldur's Gate, and the producer of Stardew Valley...

Think about it too.

Producers who can appear at the Summer Games Festival.

You can easily find some works.

So, a picture was created with the original photo on top, all the people in the photo and their portfolios below, and a rhetorical question in the middle.

"I don't know who this person is, but that group of people were just listening to his lecture."

to be frank.

Lin Li found this picture incredibly awkward.

No matter what.

Players like it, they love playing awkward games.

Chapter 333 A Small Test of the Black Myth

It turns out.

Players are very enthusiastic about playing games.

This meme quickly spread overseas.

It was then translated into multiple languages ​​and transmitted back to China.

Players were also discussing it.

"I do know that Old Man Lin has a lot of influence globally, but is it really that big?"

"Huh? This photo shows industry bigwigs standing next to him."

"I've also listened to Mr. Lin's lectures. Does that mean my level is the same as Hideo Kojima's?"

"Good heavens! Hideo Kojima attended Mr. Lin's lectures, and you've also attended Mr. Lin's lectures, so you're equivalent to Hideo Kojima? This formula is flawless!!!"

"So, does that mean that since I've watched Mr. Lin's videos, I'm also a Hideo Kojima now?!"

Amidst the discussions.

The first day of the Summer Games Festival has come to an end.

This is the first time this games festival has been held.

It achieved unimaginable success.

Globally, major gaming media outlets and summer gaming websites are flooding the screens with all sorts of news at a peak speed.

For example, PC Gamer

This top global gaming portal reports on readers' favorite PC games, offering exclusive reviews, demos, updates, and news about franchises, with an average of over 7000 million unique monthly visitors.

On PC Gamer's Summer Game Festival section, a new announcement appears almost every two minutes. It might just be a short sentence with a photo from the event, and there's no time to polish it before it's posted.

Besides the prominent "News Flash" section, PC Gamer's website also features a "Publisher News" section.

In the past, this place was home to Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, but this year Spark has been added as a separate entity.

Lin Li made a vow.

He did not purchase any publicity for this location.

In fact, this kind of location wouldn't be put up for sale.

Because buying this kind of publicity, if not done well, could even have the opposite effect.

However, PC Gamer editors still believe that the games Spark Games announced at this year's Summer Games Festival definitely deserve a dedicated section.

Several PC Gamer editors insisted that, in terms of the explosion, the shock they experienced at the launch event should be truthfully conveyed to the players.

The media does more than simply reproduce news and "transfer" it to players verbatim; they also have their own attitudes to express.

The editor-in-chief of PC Gamer explained why Spark was included separately.

Several reasons were given.

"Spark platform is the world's second largest gaming platform."

"They have a lot of first-party works, and the trailers are all of very high quality."

"The trailer for Black Myth is stunning. It's a top-notch production for a brand new series. The first trailer they released was full of sincerity. The many innovative technologies are enough to take us to the next generation of visual presentation. The profound core ideas express the creators' thoughts."

Finally, Xinghuo is very popular.

In terms of foundation, Xinghuo is indeed lacking.

But when it comes to popularity, Spark is far ahead of other manufacturers.

Take PC Gamer as an example.

As soon as any information related to Spark is published, the website's editors receive reprint requests from media outlets in China, Japan, and other Southeast Asian countries.

They couldn't understand why Japan was getting involved, even though it was China.

In addition, this information often receives far more views and comments.

PC Gamer is, after all, a media outlet.

Every media outlet needs traffic.

And so, Spark officially got its own special edition.

The featured image on the homepage of this special edition is none other than the "Lin Li Preaching Picture" that has become a meme among players. PC Gamer has also thoughtfully made some modifications to the original image.

After the photo was edited, Lin Li looks even more handsome.

There is more introduction below.

"This man is leading this ancient nation to a new peak in electronic art."

to be frank.

It was so awkward it made me want to pick my toes.

When Lin Li first saw this introduction, he felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

Can be biased.

When a large number of Chinese media outlets reprinted this article, they particularly liked to publish this section as a separate news item.

Lin Li is a bit socially anxious.

They could probably be buried right now.

Moreover, Su Shanshan always liked to repeat this sentence in front of Lin Li. Last night, Lin Li dragged his tired body and had a fierce battle before he finally managed to subdue this vixen.

Aside from this little incident involving Lin Li.

The media's biggest reaction was still focused on Black Myth: Wukong.

For example, PCGAME published an article specifically expressing their impressions of the Black Myth PV.

Yes, it's about perception.

"This is a game based on the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West."

"If you've never been to China but are curious, I recommend you watch this video."

"If you want to learn about Chinese mythology, I recommend you watch this video."

"If you have a passion for exploration, I recommend you watch this video."

"This ten-minute demonstration video is incredibly rich, especially in showcasing their technical prowess, demonstrating that they are fully capable of managing such a vast virtual world."

"Furthermore, this promotional video itself expresses profound ideas, which may be interpreted differently by different people. However, I believe that many players will continue to savor it for some time to come until Game Science releases its next promotional animation."

The impression is very brief.

Because the editors are all too busy.

On the special page of another authoritative media outlet, IGN.

The games featured on Spark that evening were also among the top trending topics on the news.

This popularity score is calculated based on readers' reading volume and the level of discussion below the news article; it is not manually adjusted by the editors.

Since the press conference ended, Spark has occupied three of the top ten trending news items on this list.

Black Myth ranks third, Spark Games Comprehensive Video ranks sixth, and Nage no Abyss ranks tenth.

These are the news rankings.

This also demonstrates that Spark is genuinely driving the overseas expansion of Chinese games.

This naturally involves the exchange of capital.

At that time, the LGBT movement was just emerging, and the American gaming industry didn't have so many monsters and demons.

In addition, Xinghuo also slipped some money into the purse strings.
