Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

However, the thousands of modders are also a major reason for Kerbal's success. These thousands of modders contributed their free labor to improve the game.

A quick look at the Kerbal update logs reveals that almost all of them...

Note that this applies to almost all content updates in the official version of Kerbal, where mods are released first, and then the official version incorporates them into the base game.

however.

After the huge success of the first generation, capital set its sights on Kerbal.

And then the development of the second generation began.

When developing the second generation, not only was a completely new development team established, but the entire development team also abandoned cooperation with MOD authors and even the first generation's development team, and instead entered a closed development mode with "The Scroll of Taiwu".

Perhaps from the perspective of capital, this game is too simple.

It's just simulating a rocket launch, how difficult could it be?

Ultimately, Kerbal 2, a highly anticipated new game, was a flop upon release.

Not only did the game crash and burn.

The development team was also disbanded in 24.

The reason for mentioning Kerbala

It's because "Eastern Fantasy World" is essentially similar to "Kerbal".

Is the Touhou Project a popular theme?

It's actually quite subtle.

At least, it took a lot of effort to establish the Touhou Gensokyo production team within Spark Entertainment.

In fact.

Even now.

Many of the tasks created by Spark official team.

During black-box testing, they were criticized for not having the right feel.

and so.

Co-creation became the path chosen by Spark.

Xinghuo never takes advantage of others.

In addition, with the experience accumulated from "Star River Exploration", the co-creation environment of the Eastern fantasy world is good enough.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Touhou Project IP is itself a co-created major IP.

Moreover, it's different from Fate, which is a collaborative creation between authors.

The co-creation of Touhou Gensokyo needs to be more grounded in reality.

The group of people gathered by Spark did more than just provide the mission.

During the internal testing of the Eastern fantasy world, these mod authors also provided a great deal of assistance to the development team.

This even includes the performance of the main storyline.

And the character's combat skills.

Basically, if the Spark production team isn't very familiar with this area and has no ideas, they can just ask in the co-creation group and get a bunch of carefully crafted solutions.

Therefore, it's more accurate to say that the Eastern fantasy world was created by a couple hundred people at Spark.

It's more accurate to describe it as the entire co-creation community.

The result of the collective efforts of one or two thousand people.

What Xinghuo does is management, and the sharing of money and honor.

The latter is something Lin Li values ​​highly.

He is very clear.

To ensure the long-term operation of the Eastern fantasy world.

Community is so important.

Therefore, not only in the game, but also at the end of each mission, the creator's name will be displayed in the mission description. In this kind of global official announcement, Spark is also willing to take the initiative to promote it.

Promote the names of these creators.

This approach has undoubtedly won the favor of many mod creators.

After all, many game companies these days, once they get a mod from a mod creator, the first thing they do is take the mod down.

It's truly rare to see a company like Xinghuo so proactively showcasing the names of game co-creators and even sharing profits and honors.

Also.

Xinghuo also stated that this bonus is not the last one.

Every quarter from now on.

They will all set aside a portion of their funds for sharing.

This is to maintain the vitality of the large creator community.

Based on the current reputation of Spark, many players who participated in the co-creation of Touhou Gensokyo have also expressed their opinions on Twitter.

In an independent community.

Many people believe that this is a mutually beneficial relationship between manufacturers and mod creators.

Besides the sentiments expressed by players and mod creators.

Many celebrities also appeared in the comments section of these tweets.

For example, Gen Urobuchi.

For example, the Nasu mushroom.

Upon learning this.

After Kinoko Nasu actually provided a side story in the Touhou fantasy world, all the anime and manga-related media around the world went crazy.

Moreover, Mushroom indicated that this was purely out of interest.

Therefore, an alias was used.

Goodness, things would have been fine if we hadn't said anything.

One said.

The entire anime and manga community seems to be under a spell.

Countless players and media outlets began breaking down the task, trying to find out which line in the current game version was written by Mushroom.

However, Mushroom didn't actually finish his sentence.

Although the side story he wrote was adopted, it was actually scheduled to appear in the next version.

In other words, there is no mushroom side quest in the current version.

Players, of course, can't find it.

However, this incident itself did boost the popularity of the Eastern fantasy world.

three days later.

The world of Eastern fantasy has once again given the world a shock.

On the third day after the server opened.

Spark officially released a piece of good news.

The poster's content is very simple.

It was Reimu Hakurei holding the offering box and looking at the sky.

The sky displays a number made up of gold coins.

"7 million!"

After this poster appeared.

The media, having just finished enjoying the first wave of the Eastern fantasy world's peak, seamlessly transitioned into the second wave of promotion.

"7 million in three days!?"

The media, like sharks smelling blood, spread the shocking news as quickly as possible.

The news instantly dominated the headlines of major gaming media outlets, with each headline more sensational than the last.

"Eastern Fantasy World: Raking in 7 Million in Three Days, Where is the Limit to Spark's Money Printing?"

"Anime Nuclear Bomb"

This is how Chinese media refer to the Eastern fantasy world.

"A new game for everyone!"

This is how Japanese media defines the Eastern fantasy world.

"An excellent entry point for understanding the world of anime and manga."

This is a commentary from Western media on the Eastern fantasy world.

"A success belonging to the creator community."

This is the perspective of the game development community.

The majority of comments were positive, but there were also a few relatively conservative or negative ones, mainly concentrated in the European and American markets.

For players who know absolutely nothing about anime and manga, even though Spark has already made the entry barrier very low.

Some people still feel they don't connect with the story.

This is not a bad thing.

After all, no game can win everyone's favor.

Chapter 304 I want to do it too!

"We also want to expand the world!"

"Approve the project immediately."

Which game recently launched its server?

Penguin Games.

Anime/Manga Games Division.

Yao Xiaodong capitalized on the popularity of the Eastern fantasy world.

Unlike other Spark games.

Yao Xiaodong felt that this time, the Eastern fantasy world was too easy to copy.

The reason we didn't plagiarize before was because, in many internal reviews, everyone felt that Touhou Fantasy World wouldn't make much money.

but now.

The data came as a complete surprise to everyone.

Three days, 7 million.

What concept?

It's even more profitable than Honor of Kings.

What is this? It's livestock!

As for penguins...

If you want to get rich, just copy. And this time, Yao Xiaodong personally saw it, and it really is easy to copy.

A large map.

Add some interactive elements, add some side quests—who can't do that?

Isn't this something you can do with your hands?
