Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Therefore, as soon as the activity was announced, they started a frenzy of part-time jobs around the school.

In other words, domestic flights to Qiongzhou in July and August are not expensive, plus the Xinghuo half-price tickets.

That's how they finally managed to raise the money.

Of course, that's why they work so hard.

It's also related to the cute swimsuit-clad girls in the Summer Spark event promotional video.

What makes CHINAJOY so popular? At least half the credit goes to the various showgirls.

Of course, the summer spark theme is also a celebration, and the swimsuit cosplay show is not just for attracting attention.

Within Xinghuo, Lin Liding's motto was: risqué is acceptable, but vulgarity is not.

The costume design for the entire swimsuit cosplay show was entrusted to the costume designers at Xinghui Apparel, who also put a lot of effort into the swimsuit design.

A large number of items, such as ribbons, leggings, and headbands, were brought out to recreate the cosplay characters as accurately as possible.

The organizers of the Summer Spark event have indeed inherited the true teachings of Lin Li, the "Immortal of Empty Promises," and regularly share these design ideas online in the form of development logs.

It is precisely this serious yet slightly awkward attitude that makes many people even more eager to see what's going on.

However, Spark clearly underestimated the appeal of sunshine, beaches, and swimsuits to male players.

An hour before the event started, a large number of players had already gathered outside the venue, although the queue area also had a beach.

So everyone simply sat down in a long row along the beach.

Looking at the sea, playing on their phones to pass the time, there are many people like this, and from a distance, it looks quite spectacular.

It's like some bizarre organization that set a Guinness World Record for "the most people using their phones on the beach at the same time."

I see everyone else is playing games.

Zhou Shenlin also offered suggestions.

"Let's play Girls' Frontline and finish today's event story."

The Summer Spark event update was performed at 1:00 AM today and lasted until 6:00 AM.

This is also the first time that all games under Spark Entertainment have undergone version maintenance at the same time.

Because he was busy packing his things to attend the event as soon as he got up in the morning, Zhou Shenlin obviously didn't have time to update the plot.

Chapter 466 New Version of Battlefront Girls

After Zhou Shenlin took out his phone, the other roommates also took out their phones.

"Then I'll play FGO for a while too."

"Hmm, it seems like Arknights has updated its event too? I wonder how many Orbs they'll give away. I'm still a few pulls away from my pity pull."

"The dormitories in Azur Lane have been updated. I'll go check them out first."

There are 4 people in one dormitory.

Originally, Xinghuo and her friends all became fans because of Battlefront Girls, but now each of them has their own "first wife" (a term of endearment for a female character in a popular anime/manga series).

Like them, there were quite a few people sitting on the beach waiting in line to take out their phones.

"How come the game doesn't lag with so many people logging in?"

This was Zhou Shenlin's first sentence after entering the game.

Sitting next to him, Old Wang casually pointed to several communication support vehicles belonging to the three major telecom operators in the distance.

"Look over there."

"Holy crap, how did they even think of that? No wonder it's Spark."

While Zhou Shenlin was sighing, his phone had already finished loading.

For this Summer Spark event, Spark Games went all out, with all its games updating to event versions on the same day.

Girls on the Frontline even updated its version number because of the amount of content it contained.

The updated version number is 1.85.

This is an event version that takes place in late May, after the 1.8 major update and before the 1.9 major update tentatively scheduled for next month.

In Battlefront Girls version 1.7, humans and omnics are locked in a tug-of-war in the United States, with the omnics catching humans off guard by using communication silence.

Then, under the command of their commander, humanity launched a brilliant counterattack.

Version 1.8 continued this design and further expanded upon it.

In terms of plot, version 1.8 tells the story of how omnics built small submarines to carry carrier-based aircraft and land-based mechs to launch surprise attacks on ports built by humans along the American coastline.

The story begins with an animation.

As a human warship was leaving port, its sonar detectors suddenly showed a large number of neatly arranged small dots.

Since the start of the war, on large-scale frontal battlefields...

The omnics still use war machines from the human era, including various machines, all of which were designed by humans themselves.

This situation has persisted for many years, and people have developed a fixed mindset about it.

The soldiers on the warship never expected that the androids would create such special war machines, so they initially thought there was a problem with the sonar screen.

By the time they realized something was wrong...

Those little dots have already rushed close.

Unlike humans, intelligent machines do not require space to operate their weapons.

Although these small submarines are not large, each one can accommodate three carrier-based aircraft and also carry intelligent machines capable of carrying out amphibious operations.

Its body, like a flying fish, can break through the sea surface and directly accelerate to land on the beach.

It was small in size and was appearing for the first time.

This caught humanity completely off guard.

This is the first half of the story of Girls Frontline 1.8.

The first half of the plot is essentially about a commander directing a coastal defense battle in a desperate situation.

Even the mini-games in version 1.8 are designed to resemble the gameplay of Beach Landing.

This is also the first time that a first-person perspective has been introduced in Battlefront Girls.

Players can use the perspective of several fixed humanoid figures to defend themselves, and the optimized graphics look quite impressive.

The shooting feel is clearly derived from the technology transfer from Girls on the Frontline: Siege.

However, in version 1.8...

Although the commander devised a strategy and successfully defended against the surprise attack, the front line has now entered a stalemate.

Moreover, the US tectonic plate held its ground.

But looking at the world, humanity's coastline has been completely lost.

This is the main storyline of Girls Frontline version 1.8.

This can be considered a prelude.

Players are also looking forward to the storyline of version 1.9.

After waiting for ages, version 1.9 still hasn't arrived, and instead, version 1.85 was released to coincide with the Summer Spark event.

It was a pleasant surprise...

This 1.85 version adds a summer-themed event storyline and a completely new system, with up to 10 new types of AI.

These omnics are different from the current enemies; they are designed by the omnics themselves, and therefore have a very different appearance.

Many players joked after reading the announcement.

This 1.85 version is actually a version update from the Omnic side...

indeed.

Version 1.85 not only updated a whole new line of Omnic enemies from low to high difficulty, but also added a new Tactical Doll belonging to the Omnic faction.

A chic black and white dress, paired with black stockings, high heels, a sharp expression, and a long sword.

More importantly, this person's name is [Hidden Assassin Type 05].

There seems to be something deeper behind this. Could it be that the omnics are planning a decapitation strike against the commander? Or is it something else entirely?

And what does 05 mean, since there are 01 to 04 before it?

A host of questions arose after this tactical android belonging to the Omnic was revealed on the official website.

This has attracted a great deal of attention.

Many players are speculating about how this doll will be added to the story, and whether it will appear in the current event's storyline.

Zhou Shenlin is a player of the game "Frontline Girls".

He was naturally very interested in these things, but what he was looking forward to even more was the interactive furniture system that was being added with this event.

After entering the game, he didn't even look at the summer storyline, but went straight to the dormitory system and bought a whole bunch of interactive furniture.

I spent all the in-game currency I had saved up.

In this version update.

Interactive furniture has been implemented in the dormitory of the battlefront girls.

This interactive furniture is different from the previous ordinary furniture, which was mainly used for display.

You can build it directly by spending in-game resources.

However, this interactive furniture is more like a skin, requiring you to complete an event or directly purchase furniture vouchers with real money.

The overall system is somewhat similar to the interactive furniture in the Dust White Forbidden Zone.

As a result of this update, Starfire has also added furniture vouchers to the Girls' Frontline mission system and events.

In other words, interactive furniture can indeed be obtained for free.

If it takes a long time to grind, but you want it to be faster, then you have to pay money.

This is meant to let the players evaluate it themselves.

Originally, Zhou Shenlin did not intend to pay.

But nothing.

This time, Spark doesn't care about martial ethics; every piece of interactive furniture has a corresponding character and an interactive LIVE2D skin.

As times have progressed, by this year, Spark's use of LIVE2D technology has become quite mature.

Spark has invested a considerable amount of money because it needs to use LIVE2D technology extensively in many places.

Compared to the previous life, about six months ahead of schedule, the most important technology of LIVE2D automatic generation technology, namely automatic mesh generation, was successfully developed.

With this toolkit, Spark is now capable of automatically generating simple LIVE2D files.

With some manual adjustments, generating a simple set of LIVE2D for each character is already within the controllable cost range at Xinghuo.

However, considering the maturity of the technology and the optimization of the client size, it has not been rolled out on a large scale.

This Summer Spark event marks the first time that Spark has made concentrated use of this technology.

Chapter 467 Interaction? You can do it like this!

This interactive furniture is used in certain places.

Among the many interactive furniture options.

Some are universal, such as various chessboards and board games, after players purchase the corresponding interactive furniture for their human figures.

Click on the chessboard in the dormitory to invite the androids to play with you.

At this time, the humanoid's LIVE2D image will be on the left, and the chessboard will be on the right. When playing chess, the humanoid will also have some lines.

In addition to these general-purpose interactive furniture pieces.

All that's left is for Xinghuo to prepare his ultimate move.
