Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

The information from the "uncle party" is also plentiful.

With so much news, many fans of older games couldn't hold back their comments.

And this expectation is thrown to its peak.

It was a petition campaign for the White House.

I don't know which bored American player posted this on the White House petition wall.

"We're going to play Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Spark Edition now, the version with the Shadow of Death!"

Originally, making a wish with a touch of humor was just for fun.

The White House receives many such messages every year.

When many people first see the word "White House" in a petition to the White House, they instinctively assume it's a very formal thing.

In reality, that's not the case at all.

Many veteran players of Huaxia should remember this.

In 2013, the White House petition website was "wrecked" by Chinese netizens.

"A demand to determine whether tofu pudding is sweet or savory" and "A request for the US government to ban Beijing-style jianbing guozi (Chinese savory crepe)."

These petitions still remain on the White House petition website.

This is because the petition only requires applicants to be 13 years of age or older, register an account on the website, and verify their email address; they do not need to be U.S. citizens.

Up to 16.

The White House petition website has 47.3 petitions and 3850 million signatures.

Essentially, this website is a platform for politicians to put on a show.

So, the player who posted this message about wanting to play Heroes of Might and Magic III Remastered right away was just making a joke and posted it casually.

Unexpectedly, this little game turned into something much bigger.

Do you remember the rules?

This White House petition does not require you to be certified as an American.

So when this petition spread across various forums, in addition to American gamers finding it interesting and signing it one after another.

Many players also joined in the fun.

Joining in the fun.

They actually managed to gather 10 signatures for the petition.

According to the rules, the White House will give a formal response to this petition within 60 days.

This has given the media more fodder.

In fact, this is not the first time that a game-related topic has appeared in a White House petition. There have been previous petitions for the legalization of esports and for Valve to update its servers.

Some people have even petitioned to change the current American national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner," into the theme song for "Guile" from the game "Street Fighter."

It's fair to say that the White House petition has become a meme.

Even if you manage to gather enough people, the White House's response is often useless; it's just repeating the same old things over and over, and it's unlikely to affect any US policy.

however.

This matter cannot be viewed from the perspective of what role it can play; it must be viewed from another angle.

In other words, it's about the influence of having enough people to petition the White House.

Regarding the fact that the Spark players' petition was actually successful.

This also attracted considerable media coverage from European and American gamers.

In this situation.

The Spark Games Music Festival announced at least several remastered versions of classic games, and then released the online version of Red Alert.

They promised a remastered version of Red Alert multiplayer.

These developments inevitably lead players to wonder if the remastered version of Starfire could achieve the quality of the Heroes of Might and Magic 3 demo.

Wouldn't that mean you've had your fill of pleasure?

This is why the Spark Game Music Festival has a greater influence overseas than in China.

The saying goes, "Throw a brick to attract jade."

Heroes of Might and Magic III is the brick; it is precisely because of this brick that players can look forward to the jade that follows.

and so.

Domestic players were watching the drama unfold.

When watching penguins jumping around.

Overseas players, on the other hand, really focused their attention on the game itself.

Various clips are circulating everywhere on YouTube, Twitter, and major gaming forums.

Many players had not downloaded the Spark platform before.

This time, many people downloaded it as well.

In addition, throughout the entire game concert, Lin Li only announced which games would be remastered.

But there's one crucial piece of information that wasn't mentioned.

So when will these games be reset?

As a result, players started another heated discussion on this topic.

Throughout the discussion, the players' excitement remained undiminished.

After all, for veteran players, waiting is something they can endure.

Moreover, Spark's high efficiency is already common knowledge, so when is a better time to open the champagne?

It’s time to say it or not.

Spark's combo is quite smooth.

Domestically, the influence of the Penguin Crazy Play Festival has been almost completely wiped out.

Abroad, a series of actions led to a surge in ordinary players on the Spark platform.

It's important to understand that, with the exception of a small minority, most players are "omnivorous" in their interests.

Once you're on the platform...

It's very possible that a single major promotional event could prompt them to place an order.

Moreover, once the platform is downloaded, and assuming the differences between the platforms are not significant, a comparison between the two platforms is very likely to be made when a new game is released in the future.

Once a comparison is made, Spark will have the opportunity to wage a price war.

Chapter Sixty-Five: Why Could Sparks Become

Guangzhou, Kuro.

Song Lun and A Dong were chatting and eating barbecue at a barbecue stall.

These two can be considered core figures in Kuro: Matsumura is the producer of Punishing: Gray Raven, and Ato is the lead planner.

The famous apology video from his previous life, and the line, "We only came out to do a live broadcast because we see you as human beings."

That was the most memorable moment from that live broadcast.

As for whether it will exist in this world, that's unclear.

In short, he is a core figure in the Punishing: Gray Raven development team.

The two of them have been extremely busy lately.

The reason is simple, and there's nothing else to it but that Punishing: Gray Raven is about to enter the black box test phase.

Like many anime-style game development studios, they also accelerated their project as Genshin Impact entered closed beta testing with Galaxy Park.

Because at the beginning of 18, there was a general consensus in the industry.

These two projects will be tested at the end of 18 and launched in 19.

Once these two major titles are released, in the long run they will definitely expand the user base of anime-style games, but in the short term, all anime-style games released at the same time will be affected.

In short, because of the emergence of Xinghuo, Xinghuo invested heavily in the development of Xinghe Paradise, which forced miHoYo to increase its investment in Genshin Impact, and then affected a large number of ordinary secondary game companies.

To put it bluntly, even Xinghuo is working hard, how dare you slack off? Be careful, you might end up like Bao Si (a notorious womanizer).

As a result, many project teams, especially those that joined the Spark Game Developers Alliance, accelerated their efforts in this timeline.

Punishing: Gray Raven is one of them.

Originally scheduled for release in 19, Punishing: Gray Raven has now entered the black box testing phase, thanks in part to the technical support provided by the Spark Games Alliance.

What impressed the Punishing: Gray Raven team the most was that in June 2018, the Spark Engine division's "Heart Replacement Project" initially selected three games.

The main purpose is to help developer teams port their existing Unity3D engine projects to the Spark engine.

To know.

Switching engines mid-development is a very troublesome thing, and normally no developer would do that.

However, in addition to improving the engine, the goal of the Spark Engine team is to expand the scope of its application.

After carefully learning about the "Heart Transplant Project," Kuro finally began the transplant in July and completed it by mid-July.

You can use the Starfire engine for development.

The Spark Heart Transplant Project team stayed in Kuro until the end of October before leaving.

During this period, the development progress of Punishing: Gray Raven not only did not slow down, but actually accelerated a lot with the help of the Spark programmers and the support of the Spark engine.

This is actually not difficult to understand.

On the one hand, Unity3D does not provide separate optimizations for anime-style games.

To use this engine to create anime-style games, developers need to make a series of rendering adjustments themselves.

Secondly, Spark Engine is, after all, a domestic engine, and whether it was deliberately absorbed or copied, it did not blindly innovate.

It retains some of the excellent operation logic of mainstream game engines, and has a very low barrier to entry.

Finally, the addition of top programmers from Spark Programming.

For a team like Kuro, which was actually developing a 3D game for the first time, this was like a windfall.

of course.

This pie wasn't given away for nothing.

Since completing the heart transplant in July, Liu Sheng, the owner of Kulo, has frequently been invited to give "experience sharing" presentations at various companies.

Alternatively, they might host business owners or key creators from other companies, inviting them to Kuro for on-site "interviews."

Only then did Liu Sheng understand.

It turns out that Xinghuo has mistaken him for a man who spends a fortune to buy a horse's bones.

However, after learning about this, Liu Sheng quickly adapted and soon became a promotional expert, actively helping Spark Engine to promote the Spark Engine in China.

He would tell everyone he met how great he was with Xinghuo.

He's practically the number one fanboy.

At first, the other business owners in Guangzhou were not quite sure what Liu Sheng was up to.

Even if Xinghuo helped you, it doesn't have to be like this.

Until mid-October.

Kuro secured a large, low-interest loan from Yangcheng Bank, and only then did the other business owners realize what was going on.

Damn, this guy's really pulling strings!

At the same time, they were also puzzled: Had Xinghuo's influence in China become so great? Could they really secure investment simply by proving their deep connection with Xinghuo?
