Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

This is precisely the time when Huang is enthusiastically praising ray tracing.

Although Spark has previously collaborated with both Nvidia and AMD graphics cards.

However, specifically regarding Destiny's Path, ray tracing was not previously supported. This was mainly because Starfire lacked the motivation to adapt it, and ray tracing is not a core requirement for a dual-platform game.

After all, whether you deserve ray tracing or not, Starfire still has to work hard on lighting and shadows.

However, NVIDIA proactively approached them, saying they were willing to send engineers to Spark to help with adaptation, and not just for a specific game.

Instead, it's an adaptation for the Spark engine.

Lin Li had no objection to this freebie.

It was just a technical exchange, so I agreed.

As soon as they agreed, the other side immediately started their promotional campaign.

You know what, the publicity effect was pretty good.

Old Huang's tweets usually only get a hundred or so comments, but this time they managed to get several thousand.

Old Huang just tweeted this morning.

Various news reports were only then transmitted back to China.

In the afternoon, Xiaomi approached Xinghuo, calling to ask if they could send an engineer to help with the targeted optimization of the Destiny Trajectory system.

Before the receptionist could even get a reply from Lin Li, Meizu and OPPO/Vivo also came knocking, followed by Huawei and ZTE, who had heard rumors about it.

It's not surprising that mobile phone manufacturers approached them.

Because in the past few months, Xinghuo has been producing more and more co-branded mobile phones.

Said it before.

Spark's collaborations are different from those of other manufacturers. They follow a distributor model, with prices basically the same as the market price. They don't take a premium from players; instead, they take a cut from the distributors' profits.

Players can spend the same amount of money but buy products they prefer.

This core idea is a key reason why Xinghuo was able to revitalize this line of work.

Because of these collaborations, mobile phone manufacturers and Spark are actually quite closely connected.

Moreover, because the resources of the co-branded IP are in Xinghuo's own hands, you can see all kinds of mobile phone brands in Xinghuo's co-branded mobile phones.

Furthermore, due to the large volume, Xinghuo has already established a dedicated printing factory for copyright DIY, and the next step will no longer be joint branding.

Instead, they've opted for a DIY customization approach.

Players can customize their phones from the Spark copyright library, including the phone box, using a universal box regardless of the model.

In addition to some fixed elements, players can choose the cover background of the box, the image on the phone case, the etching on the back of the phone, and the theme will also offer multiple limited-edition collaboration themes for players to use.

And all of this does not require players to pay any costs.

Instead, the expenditure comes from the profits of mobile phones.

In addition, DIY customization of various computer hardware, including graphics cards and cases, is also in the plans of the peripheral departments.

all in all.

Since you're going to buy it anyway, why not buy it from me?

We've strayed a bit from the topic.

In conclusion, as the popularity of the trajectory of fate rises.

More and more people joined in the fun.

Even the mayor of Orléans, France, joined in the fun.

He posted a video on Twitter and the French ambassador's Weibo account.

The video content is also simple.

They said they had received many letters from all over the world expressing their concern for Orleans in the past two days.

Many thanks to Xinghuo for spreading French culture, and welcome everyone to visit Orléans.

Finally, a video from May 8th of last year, which was Joan of Arc Day in Orleans, was also shown.

Joan of Arc's Day is considered a traditional festival in Orleans.

Every year on Joan of Arc Day, Orleans selects a young woman to play the role of Joan of Arc and tour the city.

It's fair to say that with the release of the Destiny's trajectory demo, everyone was jumping on the bandwagon, with Japan being the hardest hit, as various collaboration requests poured into Spark Japan like snowflakes.

Faced with this unprecedented surge in traffic.

Lin Li, of course, wouldn't let it go either.

He also did not forget the purpose of this twist of fate.

It's not just about publicizing the game's fate; there's something even more important: driving traffic to "Dimensional Battlefield".

penguin.

Gaming department.

Ma Xiao frowned as he flipped through the latest data report for "Dimension: Glory Showdown".

The graph in the report shows a distinct convex shape.

It rose rapidly after the server opened, and then suddenly dropped after the Destiny Trail event.

Fortunately, after three days of turmoil, the game's data has stabilized and has stopped declining.

It even rebounded this morning.

That's why He Shen found Ma Xiao.

We hope to receive additional promotional resources.

Chapter 82 No one could refuse Joan of Arc! No one!

"Xiao, although the Destiny Trajectory is very strong, the opponent's Dimensional Battlefield data is not good."

"Moreover, the game is now in a period of fatigue. In just three days, most players have already completed the Destiny Trails demo."

"So, there's a gap in between. Our Crazy Fun Festival isn't over yet; there are still a few days left until the end of the month."

"If we get another budget, there's still a chance."

He Shen didn't specify what kind of opportunity it was.

Needless to say, Ma Xiao flipped through the data report in his hand.

Then he nodded.

Although at first, he was also stunned by Xinghuo's sudden pull out of "The Trajectory of Destiny".

But he was a man who had seen a lot, and he quickly realized that "Destiny's Path" was "Destiny's Path" and had no direct connection with "Dimensional Battlefield".

In other words, "Dimension: Clash of Glory" was not actually affected by its direct competitors, but was merely caught in the crossfire.

In addition, since the test of "Dimensional Battlefield" started in the past few days, its influence is far less than when it was first announced.

in other words.

Even though Tencent's "Honor of Kings" got hammered, your "Dimensional Battlefield" from Spark didn't become popular either, did it?

Based on this consideration, Ma Xiao agreed with He Shen's assessment.

How do you plan to increase data usage?

Agreeing with the general direction does not mean that you must implement it.

At this time, Ma Xiao had also clashed with Xinghuo. He knew very well that dealing with Xinghuo could not be done with just words.

Instead, we need to come up with a plan and a solution.

Otherwise, blindly investing resources and traffic is meaningless.

He Shen was clearly aware of this as well.

"We have connections with Shanghai Animation Film Studio, so we can announce a copyright collaboration. Additionally, we can also collaborate with 'Douluo Continent'."

He Shen's idea was very simple.

The strategy is to leverage the popularity of other works to boost "Honor of Kings," which is one of Tencent's strengths. Tencent's ecosystem is indeed very broad, although it hasn't integrated these ecosystems very well.

But even if left to grow unchecked, some good IPs will still emerge on their own.

Spark is a carefully tended garden, while penguins are a vast wasteland.

However, no matter what, even barren land can grow into a big IP. Tencent can just say, "We have our own national conditions here, and our scale is just that big. If you don't like it, don't play with us."

"Shanghai Mei is fine, but will there be any conflict between the users of Douluo Continent and our target users?"

Tencent and Shanghai Animation Film Studio are quite familiar with each other. After all, Shanghai Animation Film Studio is a model of collaboration in China that will work with anyone who pays for it. As for Douluo Continent, it is Tencent's own IP.

With two IPs, collaboration is not a problem.

However, what Ma Xiao is worried about is the audience of these two IPs, and the core ACG users that "Honor of Kings" wants to win over.

The overlap is not very high.

"Indeed, the audience may be different, but what we need to do now is to strengthen the influence of Honor of Kings. Once the influence is established, we can consider the next step."

He Shen's meaning was simple: with the current data so bad, we shouldn't care where the traffic comes from.

First, revitalize the game's popularity.

"Okay, then go and get the approval done."

~~~

Ma Xiao agreed with He Shen's opinion in principle, and He Shen returned to TiMi Studio with a big smile on his face.

"Dimension: Clash of Glory" was his first project.

He also attaches great importance to this project.

Even if things didn't go well from the start, they still hoped to salvage the situation.

The support from Ma Xiao was undoubtedly a shot in the arm.

however.

During the meeting to discuss the specific implementation, when He Shen announced that Ma Xiao had agreed to the joint venture and was willing to provide additional funding, the executives in the conference room did not cheer as he had imagined.

Instead, they all had strange expressions.

It's like eating feces but not daring to speak up, because speaking up would expose that you ate feces.

Nor spoke.

This left He Shen completely baffled.

The meeting had to be suspended.

"What's wrong with you guys? Just say what you have to say, or shut up."

After He Shen suspended the meeting.

Only then did a senior executive of Tianmei timidly say a word.

"President He, Spark has already launched the collaboration plan for the Dimensional Battlefield today. Would it be alright if we did another collaboration?"

As soon as this sentence came out.

He Shen was stunned for several seconds.

He asked incredulously.

"Spark has started collaborating too!? What are they collaborating on?"

"The trajectory of fate".

With a bang, He Shen slammed the documents onto the table.

"Why didn't anyone notify me about something so important!?"
