Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Invite your friends to explore a mysterious planet and obtain a resurrection stone.

There is also a string of explanatory text at the bottom of the window.

William glanced at it and immediately understood the gist of it.

Basically, it means that you can get a free revival opportunity for each new player you invite.

In addition, the first three players invited will each receive an extra revival opportunity for each player invited.

In other words, you can get 6 resurrection stones by inviting 3 players. Of course, if you don't want to invite friends, you can also choose to pay to buy them directly.

The price is about 3 RMB per piece.

William glanced at it and felt that this was a revenue stream for the game, although he didn't understand why the game's development team didn't release a standalone version of the game but instead chose to charge in this way.

Because players can simply restart the game without paying.

William is not the kind of person who enjoys socializing.

William didn't care about the price of 3 yuan per piece, so he chose to pay.

However, after paying, William began to worry about the game's future.

If resurrection stones can be used continuously afterward, wouldn't it become a pay-to-win game? Would you be able to beat the game simply by paying?

Fortunately, the game developers were clearly aware of this. Judging from William's subsequent gameplay experience, he could revive a maximum of two times per round, and certain items could increase the chance of revival.

It can be said that paying reduces some of the difficulty, but the creators also keep it within a certain range.

Not bad.

And so, William continued his adventures.

Men's happiness is that simple, as long as they can play fun games.

William was jolted awake from his happy state by a ringing phone.

"William, look at the time! Where's your evaluation report for today?!"

I looked at my watch; it was already 10 p.m. Without realizing it, he had been playing for three hours!

Fortunately, delayed submissions are not uncommon in their editorial department.

"I'm sorry, editor-in-chief, I've already finished writing part of it, I'll send it to you right away."

After using an excuse, William successfully obtained a chance to extend his life.

Normally, William would immediately start working overtime to finish his manuscript at this time, but this time, he hesitated. He was actually thinking about whether he should play a little longer...

After all, he had only just gotten his hands on the matchlock gun and hadn't even had a chance to enjoy it yet...

More importantly, he clearly saw the third stage of the world, which turned out to be a wasteland city with a somewhat modern style.

This sparked his great curiosity about the game's worldview.

What kind of background setting would lead to this?

"Damn, this game is so addictive!"

Magic City.

Chen Yanqin returned home.

She was mentally calculating the task her boss had given her: to leak some of the game's Easter eggs in order to pique players' interest in the open world within the same universe.

For example, why are there so many different civilizations in this game? How can a planet simultaneously contain a classical world, a modern civilization, and even a wasteland city?

Although these features were originally included in the game, they still need someone to accidentally click on them.

To quickly expand the reach of the publicity campaign.

After all, for Lin Li, this game, which was modified from a demo, was essentially a large-scale promotional game, designed to pique players' curiosity.

Then, some of the background of the open world will be revealed.

The reason this task was assigned to Chen Yanqin is because, in addition to her regular work, she has recently started doing live streams after get off work.

To be honest, she had thought about doing live streaming for a long time, but the pressure of her previous job made it just a thought. However, since joining Xinghuo Games, Chen Yanqin felt much more relaxed, so she decided to give it a try.

Saying that working at Spark Games is easy doesn't mean the work is easy.

Rather, it means that unnecessary internal friction has been greatly reduced.

In addition, there is another thing she really likes about Spark Games.

That is the workload system.

Because the boss has always liked to use clear development plans to plan work, the kind of boss you have determines the kind of employees you get.

Under Lin Li's influence, almost the entire management team of Spark Games would spend time breaking down the development plan.

Specifically, she can even define roughly what tasks she needs to complete each day and then rest.

of course.

That's why it's possible to do that.

Ultimately, tracing back to the core of the company, it all comes down to the fact that the company's leader clearly understood what he wanted.

Just like "Galaxy Paradise: Explore!" which they developed in two months.

Although all the underlying frameworks, combat systems, and most of the scenes were based on a combat demo that half the company spent six months developing.

But Mr. Lin was able to break down the entire DEMO in a few days.

By recombining all the elements, the world-building can be completed in such a short time.

He was also able to lead the copywriting team to produce such rich and detailed copy, and even build the world-building framework for the next open-world game...

This was another eye-opening experience for Xinghuo Games employees, including Chen Yanqin.

Every time Chen Yanqin watched Lin Li directing everyone in playing games, she always felt like he had some kind of supernatural ability and was copying homework answers.

It's as if the final product already looks like the moment the first instruction is given.

Chapter 134 The New Functions of the Battlefront Girls

Clear instructions and a process that is virtually impossible to rework.

This system is naturally very bad for those who like to slack off.

The instructions are clear, which means that you must submit what you did the day before the next day. If you can't submit it once, you can explain it. But if you can't submit it every time, the kind HR lady will call you in for a talk.

Conversely, for someone like Chen Yanqin who is inherently capable at work...

Working at a company like that would be so comfortable.

High salary, good benefits, and nothing much to do during work hours; as long as you don't slack off, you can usually finish your work on time.

Except for the period before a major version is released, there is no need to work overtime.

After get off work, there's no one to bother me, so I can do my own thing.

Recently, Chen Yanqin has even started a side business out of boredom.

This side hustle is what I mentioned at the beginning: doing live streaming.

Chen Yanqin initially planned to do live-streaming of her drawing, since that's her major, but after two days of streaming, no one was watching.

She then switched to streaming games.

To be precise, they are broadcasting their own games.

Battlefront Girls.

result..

Still, not many people are watching.

Most people would have given up by now, but Chen Yanqin did not.

As a girl with the appearance of a young girl but the heart of an old man, she quickly found the secret to gaining popularity after browsing through a bunch of live streams.

So she dug out her cosplay outfit from her university club.

Wearing white stockings and twin ponytails, she cosplayed as Eriri and started her live stream.

Sure enough! The effect was outstanding!

Her live stream started to gain popularity.

Because of the fixed broadcast time, the person is good-looking, and her speech and thinking are very similar to those of the vast majority of otaku.

They would call 95 "wife" and, upon seeing 95's wedding dress illustration, would immediately scroll to her feet and carefully observe it under the guise of "observation and learning."

He even said it.

"Ah, my wife's feet look like ice cream, I want to put them in my mouth."

His explosive remarks.

Therefore, it was only natural that their popularity would rise.

And just recently.

Chen Yanqin started doing fancy tricks again.

They copied the tropes from similar variety shows and created a program called "Transform Your Doghouse".

The creation of this program stemmed from the implementation of the friend visit function after the 1.3 major update of Girls Frontline.

Players can visit their friends' bases. In version 1.3, players have more freedom in building their bases. The official update includes the ability to customize buildings, such as walls, pools, and lofts. In addition, many decorative small buildings have been added, such as flower beds, fountains, and roads of various styles.

The appearance of these items allows players to build their own bases more freely.

But at the same time, it has also widened the gap between players.

Just like different people playing Minecraft, some can create amazing things, while others can only build a mud house.

In the updated Battlefront Girls, players' base styles are also very diverse.

Chen Yanqin's own base is a compact yet cozy type.

Whether it's the neatly arranged trees along the stone-paved road or the central garden filled with cherry blossoms, everything looks orderly and cozy.

Recently.

Since the main story of Girls Frontline 1.3 is almost finished, and version 1.4 is still under development.

Therefore, the main content of Chen Yanqin's live streams is to go to fans' homes, offer suggestions for improvement, and even log into fans' accounts directly to make changes.

To be honest, even though I'm a member of the development team myself.

But she still really likes the game Girls Frontline.

One reason is that the rotating development team format keeps things fresh for her, and another is that the game is truly therapeutic.

Especially in the current version, what she likes most is not going to war, but controlling her character to walk around the base.

Yes, in version 1.3.

Girls on the Frontline also implemented a feature that some games might never have included before shutting down: a player-controlled commander was installed in the base.
