To relieve this pressure at work, they chose to work overtime and strain their livers.
But with the countdown to the release date underway...
It's fair to say that many people at Spark Animation have reached their breaking point.
How tense are they?
To put it simply, if an animation's reputation were to collapse today, many people would probably really want to jump off a rooftop...
And now, the final result has emerged.
Their efforts have paid off, and by the strictest standards, the popularity of the animation today is absolutely a perfect score.
The taut string was completely released at this moment, even by the relatively reserved Japanese.
The office was filled with howling and wailing.
Everyone cheered, hugged, and applauded excitedly.
Nagano Tetsu watched this scene unfold without intervening.
He replied to Lin Li's congratulatory WeChat message with trembling hands.
Look up again.
Tears were already streaming down my face.
For so many years.
He finally made it through.
~~~
With the first round of screenings concluded.
A draggable progress bar appeared on the interface.
At the same time, the entire player also changed to the regular interface for playing new anime series.
Next.
Until April.
This interface will remain indefinitely.
In between, they might release some PVs or voice actor programs to maintain popularity.
But now.
Viewers who have just finished watching the anime have no idea that the next episode is in the distant month of April.
They were still in a state of extreme excitement.
That very evening, the number of views surged to tens of millions.
Moreover, the number of views is still rising rapidly.
As word-of-mouth spread, and many game fans rewatched the game two or three times to catch every detail.
The number of views kept increasing until the next day.
It jumped straight to 5000 million views.
The initial wave of positive reviews quickly spread among the Battlefront Girls player community. Many players who didn't usually pay attention to anime heard that the anime was of very high quality and that the first episode had new story content.
Especially the line from '95
"The baby in my belly."
It even became the best screenshot for animation promotion, "tricking" countless players into clicking the play button.
~~~
In conclusion, the emergence of animation.
This undoubtedly adds fuel to the fire for the Battlefront Girls IP.
This allows the "old" IP, Battlefront Girls, which has been on the market for nearly two years, to begin to experience a second spring.
The day after the anime aired, a large number of MAD videos began to appear because of the new material.
Players have given the animation overwhelmingly positive feedback.
Domestic fans gave it particularly high praise.
Besides the animation itself, many domestic players also had a strong sense of awareness about this global live-streaming event.
most of the time.
Players jokingly refer to a certain game as being from a major international developer.
Spark Games, on the other hand, has shown everyone what a true international giant looks like.
Chapter 294 Sunny and Cloudy
At the moment when the popularity of the Girls Frontline was expanding further, the release of the specific update time for the new version of the Girls Frontline gave players around the world a huge surprise.
Countless content creators also received commercial orders.
Spark Games made a lot of changes in version 1.7.
Besides the plot updates.
More importantly, Spark Games has improved the mechanism for new players to join the game.
In conjunction with this major update, Spark Games has added a 1.5x experience bonus for new players for the first 7 days, as well as a growth gift pack, to help players quickly get through the beginner phase.
At the same time, a mentoring incentive program was introduced to encourage veteran players to pass on the torch. If both veteran and new players successfully complete the task, they can receive a total of 50 quick construction cards.
Finally, for newcomers, there is a limited-time bonus mission for the animation, the final reward of which is a character selection ticket.
These elements together form the key promotional points for this version.
"The most suitable version for beginners"
Don't underestimate this promotional slogan.
For an older game, you need some blunt slogans to convince new players to join.
Especially now, the anime "Girls' Frontline" has attracted many casual gamers.
They want to get involved.
But I feel that the gap between me and the veteran players is too big.
Although Girls Frontline is essentially a standard single-player anime game, people are strange like that; they might feel that if they play it now, they can't keep up with the progress and it's not interesting, so they give up on experiencing it.
But this awareness is actually not very strong.
One sentence.
"This version is perfect for getting started. If you don't jump in now, you'll be missing out!"
This can attract many players to the game.
In fact.
Spark Games' marketing strategy is indeed very effective.
In just two or three days.
Nearly a million new players have entered the world of Battlefront Girls.
This is for an old game.
It can be said to be quite rare.
In many Girls' Frontline communities and strategy guides, you can see newbies everywhere.
For a community.
The influx of new players will, in turn, make existing players more engaged.
The overall community atmosphere will also be better.

The situation at Xinghuo Games is like a sunny day.
Penguin, the production team of Sunburst, is like the darkness of night.
As Tong Xian walked into the conference room, he was immediately met with a familiar sense of oppressive tension.
A brightly lit conference room.
But nothing could dispel the darkness in everyone's hearts.
It stands to reason.
Today is the day before the Girls' Frontline 2 internal test.
No matter how you look at it, it should be a scene of great enthusiasm and energy.
But reality is quite different.
The entire studio was as quiet as No Man's Sky.
As for the meeting room.
That would make it even quieter.
Everyone looked down at their folders, and no one spoke.
Don't know why.
Watching this scene, Tong Xian suddenly recalled the opening of "The Führer's Wrath"...
However, this is not a movie set.
The "head of state" sitting above began asking questions.
"Has today's promotional material been released?"
"out."
"What's the effect?"
“It’s not very effective.”
The people in the operations department reported in a very low tone.
Want to say.
They were the ones sweating the most in the entire conference room.
The problem is, they themselves are also confused right now.
Even though their press releases have been published everywhere, and even new platforms like TikTok have invested a lot of promotional resources.
The internal promotional efforts have been pushed to the limit.
However, the momentum of Girls Frontline Girls still completely overwhelmed Girls Frontline 2.
Even in the main battleground of anime game promotion, many top content creators, whether or not they are game creators, have clearly stated that they cannot accept commercial orders at present and hope to postpone them.
The penguin inquired further about the reason.
The reasons given by these content creators were very straightforward.
Because we need to arrange the promotion of the Girls Frontline recently.
Penguins usually have ways of handling this kind of situation.
That means adding money.
Putting aside other factors, Tencent has the financial strength to back it up.
But what's strange about this is...
Many content creators have said that even if Tencent offers more money, they still won't accept orders.
The core reason is that creating content for the girls on the front lines not only allows them to secure commercial deals.
If done well, it can also increase followers and traffic.
In addition, many mobile game review content creators who started in 16 and 17 initially made their names by reviewing games like Battlefront Girl or creating guides for Spark Games.
