Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Page 74

The cheers from the audience couldn't be suppressed, resulting in 95 not being able to finish his lines.

This is actually a stage accident.

Fortunately, the voice actors in 95 reacted very quickly.

She put her finger to her lips and added a line to her own speech.

"Commander~ It's not your turn to make an appearance yet, please be quiet~~"

That soft yet sexy voice instantly electrified the audience.

The fans at the scene managed to keep quiet, but the comments section of the live stream went wild.

"Wow! So cute!!"

"This tastes just right."

"I didn't expect voice actors born in '95 to be so cute."

"It seems to be buried in a magnificent bosom."

"Hey upstairs, count me in!!"

Author's Note: Waaaaah, I only got less than 500 recommendation votes yesterday, but I still added an extra chapter today. Please don't forget to vote! I don't have money to buy treasure chests to climb the collection ranking, so I'm counting on a burst of updates to push up the weekly recommendation ranking.

Also, I'd like to thank everyone for their generous donations over the past two days. Every little bit helps, so please continue!

Hopefully, some generous donations will come today, and I'll add more chapters tomorrow.

Chapter Ninety-Six Film Playback

The Spark Games meet-and-greet began with a live dubbing performance, giving players a pleasant surprise.

Actually, the plot of this dubbing segment is very simple.

It's a lighthearted comedy about the daily lives of the girls in Girls Frontline who try to surprise their commander on his birthday.

The plot is mediocre, and some of the scenes even seem a bit old-fashioned.

For example, when 95 was cutting the cake, she slipped and fell flat on her face into the commander's arms.

But the audience seemed to thoroughly enjoy the show, maintaining a knowing smile almost the entire time.

And so, when the final dubbing ended.

It appears on the screen.

[Player birthday celebration events and special holiday events will be implemented in the next major update. Stay tuned!]

The players gave it a warm round of applause.

Lin Li watched the cheering fans backstage and was quite satisfied.

Unlike many arrogant producers, Lin Li treats the operation of anime-style mobile games as a service industry.

Just like Guo Degang often says.

A crosstalk performance must first be funny; otherwise, it's just ridiculous.

For him, there are only two ways to make money from mobile games.

Either the gameplay is interesting enough, or it can satisfy the player's emotions.

If you have both, you can make a fortune.

Doing the former well is quite difficult.

The latter has actually had many success stories, but often, for some reason, there are always people in the industry who want to go against the players.

Lin Li himself was a player, so he has always been very careful to maintain the players' emotions.

"Shanshan, have you encountered any problems with the process?"

"Everything is normal, there is no problem."

Su Shanshan stood obediently beside Lin Li.

Lin Li nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, keep an eye on things backstage. I'll review the lyrics again. I'm a little nervous about going on stage so suddenly."

Lin Li took out his cue card, making no attempt to hide his nervousness.

This is the first time Spark Games has held such an offline meet-up.

Good communication between players and developers can greatly enhance players' sense of belonging to the developers.

Just like Blizzard's first few BlizzCons.

But if not handled properly, it might even have the opposite effect.

For example, the classic line that came out during a Punishing: Gray Raven livestream after the black card incident at launch: "We're only streaming because we treat you like human beings."

Even after countless media outlets plagiarized this statement and portrayed it as the so-called "true nature" of the production team,

At the time, it was undeniable that the live stream, which was supposed to save the game's reputation and momentum, failed to achieve its intended effect because of that statement.

Punishing: Gray Raven's reputation only gradually recovered after several version updates and the beautification of time.

past life.

Lin Li occasionally watches live streams of game designers, mainly for entertainment.

This time it's my turn to give the presentation, and the pressure is quite high.

Take several deep breaths in succession.

Lin Licai, holding his cue cards, gradually walked onto the stage.

While the players were still discussing the voice actors' performances and marveling at how big the 95 was, the host had already invited: "Lin Li, producer of Girls' Frontline/Destiny's Trails!!"

Lin Li walked out under the lights, and the screen behind him lit up. Instead of showing off his fancy title like "founder of Spark Games," it displayed his job title.

Girls' Frontline/Producer of Destiny's Trail

"Hello everyone, I am Lin Li. I am very happy to meet you all in this way."

Lin Li spoke with poise and confidence, his voice was steady, and he was also quite good-looking.

In addition, to get closer to the players, Lin Li specially wore a T-shirt with the Battlefront Girls logo, or to put it more vividly, a T-shirt with the 95 character illustration printed on it.

He was also holding a round fan with the Destiny's Trajectory logo, which was being distributed free of charge outside the exhibition hall.

He seems very down-to-earth.

They project an image of someone who loves games just as much as their fans.

This can be considered one of Lin Li's little schemes.

After all, from a player's perspective, they would naturally hope that the game's creators love games as much as they do.

This outfit certainly met Lin Li's expectations.

At least when he introduced himself, there was no awkward silence in the room.

Many female fans even waved their fans to cheer for him when they discovered that the producer of Battlefront Girls was not a bald, burly man, but rather a handsome and refreshing young man.

When Lin Li heard the cheers, her first reaction was, "Our frontline girls actually have female fans?!"

"Lin Li!!!"

Apart from a few female fans, when Lin Li walked to the center of the stage, unexpectedly, the players in the audience also started chanting Lin Li's name, just like they had chanted the voice actor's name earlier.

"Wow~ This is the first time in my life I've ever heard so many men call my name."

Lin Li replied in a relaxed tone, which amused the audience.

A small interaction.

This allowed Lin Li to successfully establish a good first impression in the minds of many players.

After giving a brief self-introduction, Lin Li looked at the audience and sighed with emotion.

usually.

Looking at the cold, hard online numbers in various reports, Lin Li was well aware that his game had become a hit.

But it didn't feel real.

When he stepped onto the stage, facing thousands of enthusiastic players.

He could sense how much these people loved the game.

Moreover, those watching him now are not just the players on site, but also countless players online.

As a result, Lin Li suddenly felt a strange sense of responsibility, a sense of responsibility not to let down these lovely players.

They chatted for a few more minutes.

Lin Li then steered the conversation back to the main topic.

The voice actors and the small system implementations mentioned earlier are just appetizers.

A live interview with a game company.

The most important thing is actually the playback of the video.

The purpose of showing the trailer is, of course, to entice players to continue playing in the future.

Actually, from this perspective...

At this point in time, most mobile game developers specializing in anime and manga games are not yet aware of this.

In most cases, mobile game developers will at most release some gameplay footage or cut out some game content for promotional purposes; it's rare for anime/manga companies to create trailers for this purpose.

We'll have to wait a while longer before we actually produce a special promotional video.

Especially after the explosive promotional video for Black Myth: Wukong was released, using source material alone, or even creating a demo or animation specifically for the promotional video, gradually became the mainstream.

Major domestic ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) companies have gradually gotten used to releasing corresponding promotional materials and showing separate videos for each version.

"Now, let's move on to our first major segment of the day: a preview of Girls' Frontline version 1.3! Please look at the big screen."

With these words.

The players at the scene erupted in huge cheers.

Chapter Ninety-Seven: David's Jealousy

While everyone was cheering, a person wearing a hat in the corner lifted his chin, as if he was thinking about something.

[When Honkai Impact 3rd launched, we should have held a meet-and-greet like this. The atmosphere was really great, and Lin Li's interaction with the players just now brought the developers and players closer together.]

Building a good relationship between manufacturers and players is quite helpful for promotion.

Sitting in the corner, wearing a hat, Dawei looked at the atmosphere and had to admit that he had just been a little envious of Lin Li's relaxed and easygoing demeanor as he chatted with the players on stage.

Thinking about it carefully, if he were on stage, the players below probably wouldn't be so excited.

After all, the operation of Honkai Impact 2...

Well, I wouldn't call them bad, but I wouldn't call them conscientious either.

He was standing in the audience, so he noticed many details that Lin Li on stage had overlooked.

He has also communicated with Honkai Impact 2 players in the past.

In most cases, Honkai Impact 2 players won't behave like Battlefront Girls players...

So... um, enthusiasm?

David couldn't quite describe the feeling either.

Anyway, he felt that if he were on the stage announcing the major update for Honkai Impact 2, the Honkai Impact 2 players in the audience would definitely not be so excited.

Just as David was deep in thought and telling the truth, a guy next to him suddenly patted his hand.

Hey bro, why weren't you cheering just now?

David was startled by this sudden move.

I thought to myself, I came here to see what kind of trouble Spark Games has gotten up to this time. Am I supposed to cheer too? You Girls' Frontline fans are being way too nosy.

Do I have to care whether the people around me are cheering or not?
