Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Developing a PC version is not a problem.

The problem is that Clash of Kings doesn't have a PC version, so how can we copy it?

~~~

This is influenced by the opaque testing conducted by Galaxy Paradise and this report.

It's not just miHoYo, it's also Tencent.

Before today, Spark was considered a rising star by many independent producers and developers alike.

So, following this report with a valuation of hundreds of billions.

Spark has already shown the potential to become a giant.

In an effort to curb this momentum, rumors began circulating within the industry at the end of September that Tencent was planning something big in November to suppress Spark.

This rumor is quite detailed and convincing.

Actually, Tencent didn't initially plan to release the news so early.

They're even thinking of using strategic deception.

But penguins are too big; a lot of information isn't a matter of whether the penguins want to release it or not.

Penguin didn't want to release it, but a lot of information still got out indirectly.

For example, Hu Bing, the creator of "Red Alert Online," once boasted to his friends after drinking that he would crush Xinghuo this time and show the market what a profitable game really is.

In addition, many insiders who know about penguins have also started spreading the word.

It's said that Tencent's acquisition of 300 Heroes wasn't just a casual move, but rather part of a larger plan.

Similar information.

True and false.

What was Lin Li doing at this moment?

answer.

He is on his way to the first Spark Game Developers Conference.

This conference.

The event will not be held in Shanghai, but in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

On the one hand, it was because the leaders of the Suzhou-Hangzhou Investment Promotion Bureau couldn't refuse their hospitality.

In addition, the developers of "Conqueror's Blade" and "Tower of Fantasy" extended strong invitations to him.

Finally, Lin Li also considered establishing a branch in Suzhou and Hangzhou in the future to set up a game remastering studio.

They also agreed to hold the Spark Games Developers Salon in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

This is the first time Spark has organized a large-scale developer conference, and many people have been invited.

It's not just domestic developers.

There are also many developers who came all the way from Japan and Europe.

Initially, Xinghuo estimated that there would be around 100 people.

In the end, as soon as people heard that Mr. Lin was going to give a speech, the number of people who signed up quickly exceeded one thousand.

It covers almost all developers on the Spark platform.

And some collaborators.

Seeing the appeal of Xinghuo, the investment promotion departments in Suzhou and Hangzhou were overjoyed.

Keep in mind that these more than a thousand people represent hundreds of companies.

Even just negotiating a few preliminary investment agreements would be a big deal.

So they immediately made a decision to provide a lot of convenience and venue for Spark's developer conference.

The atmosphere at the Spark Organization's developer conference was great.

The developers who arrived early chatted in small groups in the lobby.

Let's discuss the progress of everyone's game development.

They were also talking about the Spark Games Competition rendering voting contest, which has been very popular recently.

After more than a month of submitting articles.

Spark selected 100 scenes for players to vote on.

This video was released.

The entire internet was stunned.

This year's rendering competition's theme is trains, and when these imaginative works appear on the screen, it certainly brings a strange sense of comfort.

Occasionally, one or two creatively rendered clips can instantly fill the entire screen with comments.

To complement this rendering competition, the Spark platform has also launched a dynamic wallpaper system, allowing entries from the competition to be set as wallpapers for PCs and mobile phones.

Because of this small operation.

In just these few days, the number of downloads on the Xinghuo platform has once again reached a new high.

"Spark always manages to touch people's hearts in these small places."

"Yes, my game has been ranked around 6th in sales since it was launched on the Spark platform in June, but my monthly revenue has been increasing."

The man did not explain the cause and effect, but the person opposite him nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, me too. The number of users on the platform is increasing rapidly, and we've benefited from it."

"That's right. Moreover, I've noticed that our game's popularity on TAP is decreasing, while downloads on the Spark mobile game platform are increasing. I think if TAP doesn't make some moves soon, it's going to be finished sooner or later."

"Speaking of TapTap, have you heard? It seems TapTap was removed from app stores a while ago because..."

"No way, wasn't it said that it was taken down because it included a download link for a foreign mobile game?"

"But the Xinghuo mobile game platform didn't include any foreign games for download in the Chinese region from the beginning, so nothing worked. TAP was competitive back then precisely because it allowed downloads of foreign games..."

"It's been taken down now..."

"Hey, that's starting to sound like a conspiracy theory."

The atmosphere at the scene was great.

But not everyone has a smile on their face.

At least not on the cat's face.

As a core creator at SIVA Studio, Maofu originally thought that Spark's developer conference would be a high-end salon.

"Why are there so many stinky men? I wish I hadn't come."

I found a secluded corner.

Cat Flo was filled with regret.

"Isn't Xinghuo supposed to be a multi-billion dollar company? How come it's so shabby? It's like a public lecture. How low-class!"

While complaining.

Cat Flo is seriously considering whether or not to leave early.

After all, strictly speaking, SIVA Studio is not a member of the Spark Game Developers Alliance; she came with a friend.

The purpose of coming here is not to learn anything or exchange ideas.

Because she herself was once an author on Jinjiang Literature City, she is confident in her copywriting skills.

That's why she came.

I was just there to watch the fun and wanted to take some fancy photos to decorate my WeChat Moments.

Chapter Twenty-Three: SIVA Studio

The project that Fu Mao is currently in charge of is called "The Godslayer".

Like many current anime and manga projects.

They also chose to develop their own product and release it through Spark.

SIVA Studio is a subsidiary of Dianhun Network.

However, in this specific project, Floating Cat also provided a portion of the initial funding.

Of course, she was able to invest money not because she made money from writing.

It was entirely because she received an investment from her family.

In conclusion, Fu Mao has a dual role in the Godslayer project; she is both an investor and a producer.

Furthermore, Dianhun Network itself is a company that relies on its past success with the game "Dream of the Three Kingdoms".

There is also a lack of internal management mechanisms for new projects.

Nobody understands the anime and manga market.

A combination of factors has led to Floating Cat having a very high say in the project team.

When she first took charge of the project, she was initially a little cautious.

But she saw that everyone on the project team was flattering her.

Floating Cat gradually began to let himself go.

Normally, developers who choose the self-developed + Spark distribution model will also join the Spark Developer Alliance.

On the one hand, it allows for mutual exchange and learning.

On the other hand, the Spark Developers Alliance also provides its members with consulting services and even resource integration services.

For example, you might need art and want to outsource it.

Then Xinghuo can help you connect with and find outsourcing providers.

Moreover, since both parties involved in the bridging are from the Spark Developers Alliance, this outsourcing and resource integration is often quite reliable.

Let's say that.

Everyone who has joined the Spark Developer Alliance says it's great.

In this situation.

Floating Cat resolutely refused to join.

Her reason for not joining was also quite bizarre.

"Is this really necessary? Why should I add it? If the game becomes a huge hit, will we get half the credit for it?"

A mentality similar to that of a floating cat.

It's not uncommon for her to avoid anything that becomes popular.

What I'm pursuing is the state of being the only one who is sober when everyone else is drunk.

"You all say the Spark Developer Alliance is great? I don't think so. It might just be a conspiracy by Spark!"

Such words.

If there were even one sensible person in the entire studio, they could have been slapped awake by her.

You want Spark's platform and want to start a business through Spark's low-price agency model, but you also reject Spark's system.

Isn't this a case of split personality?

However, Fu Mao is rich, powerful, and has a large group of beautiful girls around her in the studio.

Normal opinions simply don't reach her.

Or rather, even if it gets sent, it's useless.

The remaining few who were still clear-headed, after offering advice twice, found that each time they did so, their wages would be deducted the next day for various reasons.

So I stopped trying to persuade them.
