Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

It has now soared to 500 million.

And then at this time.

The theme of the live stream has also changed.

Lin Li started chatting with ZUN about some anecdotes about the creative communication in the Eastern fantasy world, which made the atmosphere very lively.

The most interesting part is reading the comments.

Lin Li selected some comments for interpretation, and based on these comments, he also made some grand promises.

While reading the comments.

Naturally, I also read that I wanted to play a little longer, and there was a lot of rhythm.

Therefore, during the live broadcast, Lin Li also directly explained why this test only lasted 48 hours.

Chapter 263 Textbook-Level Public Relations

"The purpose of our test was to verify the open-world gameplay. In fact, the entire demo was not very complete. Players who started from the beginning should find that by the second day, the open world was no longer as exciting."

"After collecting everyone's feedback over the past two days, we have gained a lot of information. More importantly, everyone's feedback has strengthened our development strategy of filling the large world."

Good heavens, Lin Li turned a public relations live stream into a publicity stunt.

As the number of players increases.

Lin Li's pie in the sky is getting bigger and bigger.

"It's like a stage, and judging from the current feedback, everyone thinks it's a great stage."

"Then we, as the production team, can rest assured and thank everyone for their feedback."

"In the future, we will add more details to the gameplay of the Touhou Project, such as adding companion storylines for each character and adding a complete farming gameplay. Players can unlock main/side storylines and obtain land in places such as the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Hakurei Shrine, Sunflower Field, and Human Village to cultivate."

"At the same time, Night Sparrow Diner is also being polished, with its simulation management storyline mainly based on small bone fragments."

"There's also a fishing system, a homestead system for building houses, a banquet invitation system..."

"Of course, we are also building more maps, such as the celestial realm where the Emperor of the Ninja Kingdom resides, and the realm where Saigyouji Yuyuko resides."

In the underworld, in addition to the Youkai Mountain and Moriya Shrine, which were not open in this test...

"The world of Touhou Gensokyo is very large, and we have only done a little bit so far, so please understand that we need to devote more time and energy to the work."

"So that everyone can see the complete version of the Eastern fantasy world as soon as possible."

Lin Li's ambitious proposal successfully dispelled players' complaints about the development team's short testing period.

The best approach to public relations is sincerity.

However, besides sincerity, Lin Li also understands another weapon in public relations.

That is, to first praise and then criticize, exceeding the user's expectations.

So after recounting the difficulties mentioned earlier.

Lin Li then changed the subject.

"Of course, we also understand that many of our participants had a relatively short testing period, so we will be restarting the server at 2 p.m. today."

"The new round of testing will last for one day. We hope that players who haven't had a chance to experience it yet can still enjoy the game."

"However, after this test, we really need to start our closed-door training again."

"If you're really itching to play, you can also try ZUN's recently released game, 'Touhou Tenkuushou'."

~~~

Lin Li in the video is gentle and refined.

Outside the video, Yu Zhong was practically grinding his teeth to powder, while Tong Xian, standing next to him, seemed rather emotional.

Looking at the screen full of cheering comments.

He sighed.

"Spark Games has some talented people. If they had just announced a one-day delay in the test from the start, they probably wouldn't have achieved such good results."

"This approach of praising by first criticizing, and then explaining the difficulties the production team faces and what they need to do in the future, is intended to gain a certain degree of understanding."

"Let's postpone it for another day..."

"This is a textbook example of a public relations response."

Thinking this through, Tong Xian subconsciously glanced at Yu Zhong. If Spark Games was a positive example, then the person in front of him was definitely a negative one...

I wonder if this person can learn anything from this.

"Textbook my ass. That guy only got the Touhou Gensokyo IP because he got it. If I were to work on that IP and bring ZUN over, the players would be cheering no matter what I said."

"It has absolutely no technical content."

After uttering a couple of curses, Yu Zhong shut down the website.

Tong Xian sighed upon seeing this.

He was really unlucky to have such a narrow-minded producer.

Fortunately, although Yu Zhong is narrow-minded, he has one "advantage": he bullies the weak and fears the strong.

As a confidant of President Yao.

On the surface, Yu Zhong still had to listen to what Tong Xian said.

"Alright, Yu Zhong, forget about the Spark Game and let's catch up on our own progress."

After reluctantly shutting down the computer, Yu Zhong and Tong Xian got down to business.

"How's our animation coming along? Can it be released in December, before the first test?"

Yu Zhong's words seem to be two different things.

But in reality, it is the same thing.

From last year to this year, even disregarding the timeline of resetting the bakery girl's life.

Girls' Frontline 2 has been in development for more than half a year.

The framework has been set up, so naturally, the first test should be launched.

Regarding this anime-style game project.

There is a high level of anticipation surrounding the penguins.

Therefore, even the first test was accompanied by publicity.

However, Yao Xiaodong thought for a long time about how to promote it, and finally decided to find a sensational story.

After a long discussion, and taking into account Yu Zhong's opinion.

We decided to use animation for promotion.

Games and animation are both thriving.

To achieve the effect that 1+1 is greater than 2.

Of course, even Tencent wouldn't be that extravagant as to produce a standalone anime series just for promotional purposes.

But they can produce two or three episodes first, and then do the publicity and distribution.

If the game receives good reviews after its release...

Make plans again.

"No problem. President Yao has already arranged the animation production. If we start now, it should be online by December at the latest."

Yu Zhong nodded.

"Everything will be alright after the first test and the animation are released."

~~~

The National Day holiday ended amidst the hustle and bustle.

After the two server openings, totaling 3 days, the test of "Eastern Fantasy World" ended.

The game's popularity did not decline; on the contrary, it rose further.

Numerous gameplay videos of "Touhou Fantasy World" have appeared on video websites worldwide.

Most of them focus on the initial encounter between a certain character and the plot.

Below these videos.

Often, there are players who are slow to realize what the game is, and then regret not participating after learning that the game had only been in open beta a few days prior.

Besides gamers, many anime enthusiasts, especially those who pay attention to voice actors, also participate.

I also discovered something very amazing.

During this period, the topic of "Touhou Fantasy World" appeared in many voice actor programs.

Although due to copyright reasons.

In various voice actor programs, female voice actors often refer to *Touhou Fantasy World* as "that big project from that big company."

Did you audition for that big project recently?

"I got the role?! Really?! Amazing!"

"I heard they're going to China to record a special program?"

"Speaking of which, I saw General Manager Lin not long ago..."

"That General Manager Lin?"

"Yes, yes, he looks even more handsome in person than in photos, and he's so young..."

Chapter 264 The Strange Seven-Day Capital

Similar dialogues have appeared in many voice actor programs.

Consequently, many players, especially those in Japan, have started referring to Spark Games as "that big company"...

It has become a strange meme.

Perhaps it won't be long before this meme returns to China and is solemnly explained in some meme encyclopedias that are just trying to gain attention.

Lin Li could even hear the voice in his mind: "That big company, that big game, among Japanese players, it specifically refers to Spark..."

~~~

The reason why this happens.

To some extent, this is also evidence of Spark Games' growing influence in Japan.

At the same time, it was also because the first batch of voice actors who collaborated with Spark Games tasted the benefits.

Including FGO, Girls' Frontline, and Azur Lane, these three games have formed a new trio of giants in the Japanese anime and manga world.

It has consistently ranked in the top 10 of the list.

It is conceivable that this dominant position will persist for a long time to come.

If you look at the top 10 mobile games charts in Japan now, besides Spark Games, there are also Honkai Impact 3 from miHoYo and Knives Out from NetEase.

It's no wonder many experts say that the Japanese mobile game market has been taken over by China.

But according to Lin Li, this is nothing at all.

After miHoYo's Genshin Impact, Honkai Impact 3rd, Starfire's Galaxy Paradise, Destiny's Path, and Touhou Fantasy World take the stage...

That kind of ranking list is really exciting.

Of course, Japanese players don't need to be too disappointed, since these games were developed by Spark Games.

But the IP originated in Japan.

Furthermore, Spark Games also has a branch in Japan.

It is probably because Spark Games has a Japanese branch, and FGO's operation is mainly based in Japan, plus the relatively successful adaptation of several IPs.

Therefore, Japanese players have a higher level of support for Spark Games.
