Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Even in 24, there are still a lot of new anime-style games that start with the Riddler storyline, and in order to fill in the content and time, these Riddler stories are often long and tedious.

Many developers have listened to player suggestions and added a button to skip the story.

The problem is, skipping the story doesn't mean the developers don't need to pay attention to the story; it's because the story is so bad that players want to skip it.

Because that way, at least you wouldn't have to defend your thesis.

Chapter 318 Why did he die?

Many anime and manga companies never realized, until the day they died, that they had already added plot skipping features.

Why did he still die?

The answer is actually quite simple.

It's like a book that's poorly written, but the author doesn't care about the content at all. Instead, they praise the illustrations and proudly tell the readers.

Even though my writing is terrible, you can skip to the next page.

What's the use?

What's the use of having beautiful illustrations?

I came here to play games, not to experience a gacha simulator!

Anyone who hasn't grasped this core concept...

Instead of refining their content, they assumed that the core demand from players was simply to add a skip button.

Add a 2D game that you can skip to the next one.

Every one that comes out dies.

To prevent the developers of this world from following the same path as the anime-style games of the past, Lin Licai repeatedly emphasized the importance of content and gameplay.

You need at least one of these: content or gameplay.

Only then can people keep playing.

Answers like "The Exorcist" are so obviously wrong, yet so absurdly wrong.

Lin Li naturally deserves to be mentioned in great detail.

As for the fact that this would lead to a drop in Tencent's stock price, that was something Lin Li hadn't expected.

Lin Li hadn't expected this either.

His influence has reached this level.

The story of "The God of Deciphering" has been widely discussed in China, but it has gone unnoticed internationally.

At this time, overseas media...

The most hotly debated topic is...

"When will Xinghuo become number one in the world?"

This topic has been brewing ever since the launch of Touhou Fantasy World.

There has been ongoing discussion about whether and when Xinghuo can become number one.

However, the discussion was not very loud.

However, with the renewed popularity of "Perfect Strategy" and the release of "Eastern Fantasy World"'s global revenue of 8 million RMB in its first month, this topic has suddenly become a hot topic.

8 billion!

This figure has left many media outlets in awe.

Earning 8 million in a month is quite remarkable.

And surprisingly, even for a game like this, Spark also has an FGO.

Even more exaggerated.

Spark has two more highly popular works like "Eastern Fantasy World".

It's unimaginable what it will be like when "Destiny's Path," "Galaxy Paradise," and even "Gundam Battlegrounds" are released.

That is precisely why.

Globally, many media outlets...

The main discussion has already begun about how long it will take for Spark to become the world's highest-grossing game developer.

have to be aware of is.

The topic of discussion among the media has shifted from whether Xinghuo can become number one.

It has become, when will Spark become number one?

To some extent.

This is also a reasonable inference based on the rapid development of Spark in recent years and the explosive popularity of the Eastern fantasy world, which is based on the profits that FGO brings to Spark.

As these works continued to emerge, Lin Li's status in the world of gaming was elevated higher and higher.

There's always a group of reporters standing around the Xinghuo office building.

Spark's employees commute to and from get off work every day.

They basically all followed suit.

Just so that every time Lin Li enters or exits through the main gate within a month, he can seize this time to conduct a brief interview.

Especially during this period.

There's also "The God of Destruction" and "Eastern Fantasy World" with their first-month revenue.

Naturally, even more people wanted to interview Lin Li.

However, their stakeout was destined to be futile, because at this point...

Lin Li has already taken a plane to the United States.

Got off the plane.

Lin Li soon spotted a sign held high.

Welcome, Mr. Lin.

Upon seeing it, Lin Li walked towards the signboard and casually said something to his assistant who had come with him.

"See, who says Americans don't understand social etiquette?"

"I think they know a lot."

He laughed and made a couple of sarcastic remarks.

Lin Li then saw the representatives sent by the United States from Xinghuo.

A pretty girl with a great presence.

The girl had long, shiny black hair, and wore a white T-shirt with a white pleated skirt. The skirt was the perfect length, showing off her long legs while maintaining an elegant demeanor.

They would fit right into a movie.

It's a bit unexpected that it appeared here.

"Hello Mr. Lin, I'm Sally. I'll be your secretary for the next few days."

Lin Li nodded.

I didn't take it too seriously.

Putting appearance aside, having a local assistant when visiting branch offices would indeed save him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

For a global company

The workload for each branch of Spark Games is also very heavy.

and so.

When Lin Li goes on business trips, under normal circumstances, he just goes to visit the branch office.

They won't let the branch manager or the second-in-command accompany them all the time.

Moreover, Lin Li's business trips sometimes weren't actually for branch office matters.

So at this time.

Having a local assistant by Lin Li's side would allow him to relatively easily allocate the branch company's resources and achieve his goals.

After all, this society is ultimately made up of people.

As for why Lin Li's assistants are all pretty young women...

Lin Li was too lazy to correct him.

Even if I said it, no one would listen.

Moreover, it does look quite pleasing to the eye.

And so, Sally temporarily became Lin Li's assistant.

My first day in the United States.

Lin Li went to the company first.

The main purpose is to communicate with various studios about the progress of each project, although Lin Li also takes time to communicate online regularly.

However, online and offline communication are still quite different.

The second issue is personnel management.

Every time Lin Li goes to the United States, he makes some personnel adjustments after staying for a period of time.

This is primarily for better control of Spark America.

After all, some powers, if you don't use them, people will forget them. And in this remote place far from the emperor's reach, there are some things that people don't want them to forget.

It requires human intervention.

There's a crucial prerequisite: you need to understand human resources.

Don't underestimate this.

Most CEOs are completely unfamiliar with their company's personnel structure.

Just like many people have complained.

It's really hard for bosses to know who's slacking off and who's actually doing their job.

This is why, even large companies...

It is also common for layoffs to affect key personnel.

However, Lin Li was an exception.

On the one hand, Xinghuo's main business is quite vertical, which is making games, and Lin Li is very familiar with this area.

Therefore, it is easy to identify the skill level of employees in this most critical sector.

on the other hand.

Lin Li is, after all, the founder of the entire company.

Regarding the situation of each branch office.

He was also very familiar with it.

Taking Spark America as an example, Spark America currently presents three major factions.

Chapter 319 A Second Visit to Starfire America

One faction consists of the original operating company acquired by Spark, led by Smith, a senior executive of the original operating company. They had been taking over the operation of Spark America since the days of Frontline Girls.

Over time, this operations team has grown quite large.

Secondly, it was in response to the needs of the US government as Spark America developed.

This is also to meet the development needs of Spark itself.

The establishment of Spark America Studio.
