Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Upon hearing this, Lin Li sat up abruptly, his eyes suddenly gleaming with surprise.

"Genshin Impact is coming soon? So soon?"

"It's not Genshin Impact."

"what is that?"

"Never mind what it is, I just want to ask if there are any reliable marketing and distribution companies in the US."

"Yes, I have."

"Who?"

"I."

"Who??" Dawei's voice involuntarily dragged out, then rose a octave.

Lin Li pointed to himself.

"Don't be ridiculous."

"No kidding."

"You're so boring... Never mind, I won't say anything more."

David took back what he had said and ignored Lin Li.

Lin Li also sighed.

I realized that my guess was right. When companies like miHoYo go global, their first instinct is still to build their own distribution channels.

Well, if I really want to create a platform myself.

Actually, we can start doing it now.

Just like penguins have WEGAME.

Spark now also has a Spark launcher, which can be easily modified to become an overseas platform.

Now we have baskets.

Only then can you persuade others to put their eggs in.

Then Lin Li began to ponder what this new game from miHoYo was.

Preparations for a global promotional campaign have already begun, which means...

Is it going to launch after the Spring Festival?

Shouldn't we test it?

Generally, mobile games in China are first tested domestically, and only when the testing is successful and the game is ready for public release will they be launched globally.

David is now asking about the US publicity and promotion.

In other words, this project is likely already very mature and will be put into public beta testing soon after testing is completed.

As early as the first quarter, or at the latest the second quarter.

Um..

No.

We need to prepare a surprise and give it to miHoYo when they start their domestic test.

We can probably secure the deal when we discuss cooperation later.

At the same time, another major player from the PC game era, Perfect World, also began to set its sights on this market.

At that time, Tower of Fantasy had not even been officially launched.

Perfect World has absolutely no experience with anime-style games, and having entered the market too late, this time Perfect World did not choose to develop its own games, but instead tried to acquire several studios to test the waters.

Following the Qiongzhou Conference.

Before we knew it, it was just before the Spring Festival.

At a time when everyone is focused on how the Spring Festival holiday will be arranged and how the Spring Festival travel rush will be.

Despite a plethora of gaming news, reports are still surfacing about Spark earning 122 billion yuan overseas in a single year.

This news, like an advertisement for Xiangpiaopiao (a popular Chinese herbal tea brand), kept appearing in the news media.

Even semi-official media outlets like CCTV.com and People's Daily Online have done special reports on it.

"122 billion! That's great..."

Different game companies reacted completely differently to this news.

As for Xu Menglu...

When he heard the news, his first feeling was confusion.

~~~

Flashwing Games Studio.

Today is the day before the Spring Festival. To facilitate employees' travel, Xu Menglv gave them an early holiday.

Therefore, the studio looks empty right now.

All of the company's employees have left.

The only one who hasn't left is the company's founder, Xu Menglu.

He was originally going back to his hometown, but he couldn't get a ticket. He stayed at home for a while in the morning, but he had nothing to do, so he came to the company.

Thinking of working overtime.

However, when he arrived at the company...

Seeing the empty office, I instantly lost the motivation to work overtime.

Confused.

He saw a Bilibili tweet pop up on his phone.

[Spark Games Global Players' New Year Greeting Festival, today at 10 AM, see you there! Happy New Year!!]

I saw this news.

With nothing to do, Xu Menglu simply went to the office alone, turned on the projector, and connected it to his laptop.

At this time, there were still a few minutes until 10 o'clock.

Xu Menglu also had time to see what tricks Xinghuo, which earned 122 billion yuan in a year, had up its sleeve.

Spark Games Global Players' New Year Greeting Festival.

It is part of Spark's global strategy.

In addition to this live-streamed New Year's greeting event, there will also be an offline carnival for players worldwide after the Spring Festival.

In the future, there are also a series of plans, including a global tour/concert.

Under this grand strategy, it serves as the starting point for everything.

This year's Spark Games Global New Year's Festival was high-profile, with extensive publicity, and offered a full range of benefits and content.

As an event primarily conducted via live streaming.

This year's Spark New Year's Greeting Festival used the same technology as Spark Animation's global live broadcast.

But this time.

Spark Games has come up with new and exciting new features.

The biggest change is that Spark Games, in collaboration with iFlytek and Bilibili, has created a global bullet screen pool.

The new live streaming room no longer offers a language channel option.

There is only one main live stream room and Channel 1, Channel 2, etc., which were automatically split due to the large number of online viewers.

There are no language channels anymore.

However, there is an additional setting for the display language in the lower left corner of the video player.

Viewers can set the language of the comments to be displayed.

Once set up, all player comments worldwide will be translated into the corresponding language and displayed to the player.

at the same time.

If it's a translated comment, then an abbreviation prefix for the corresponding country will appear before the comment.

Tell the player which country the bullet comment comes from.

At the same time, hovering the mouse over a bullet comment will display the original text of that comment, and the bullet comment bar on the left side of the video player will also display the IP address of each bullet comment.

At this time, Spark Games' global New Year's greeting festival had not yet begun.

However, the chat area is already quite lively.

Players from all over the world have shown great curiosity about this video player that can translate in real time.

There is actually a background delay, but players can't feel it.

Just like children who have discovered a new and exciting toy, they are frantically engaging in "cross-border dialogues" with other players.

Chapter 322 Starfire World Chat Room

2018 years.

Translation software is already quite mature.

Moreover, this time...

Xinghuo uses iFlytek's latest technology.

Instead of using the player's local computer for translation, all bullet comments first enter iFlytek's server, where the server's computing power is used to translate them into more than a dozen mainstream languages.

Then it is sent out from iFlytek's server.

There is a delay in the process.

However, since the video's bullet comments are not real-time, the system only needs to display the player's own bullet comments in the video in a timely manner, so it is actually difficult for the player to perceive when other bullet comments are sent.

In addition, cross-border bullet comments already have a delay, making this delay even harder to detect.

Spark spent a considerable amount of budget to implement this technology.

When making requests, they truly demonstrated what it means to be a nouveau riche with plenty of money.

They were practically telling iFlytek directly.

Money is not a problem as long as it can be achieved.

iFlytek does indeed have the technology in this area, after spending some engineers' hair.

The final result is a front-end presentation with an almost exaggeratedly high real-time translation quality.

Although occasionally, some inexplicable words that are obviously translated incorrectly will still appear in the comments.

For example, what?

My butt was terrified.

[Buttocks, pee, heaven!]

However, in most cases, these incorrect comments are simply nonsensical lines.

Also.

While watching the bullet comments, Xu Menglu occasionally saw some strange scriptures.

For example, some players from Arab countries are now sending Qurans.

When they discovered it.

Players from other countries actually responded to them.
