Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

There are also many everyday conversations.

It can also be reused.

The money saved from these reuses can be used for key performances.

For example, Hotarubi no Mori e, Moonlight Confession, and so on.

Furthermore, this sandbox-style, chapter-based performance format prevents conflicts between the various characters.

For example, there's the same scenario: winning over a girl within a set time limit.

The first act could be a Russian girl.

In the second act, the character could be a beautiful Japanese girl in Tokyo.

The third act could be the girl next door from your hometown.

In short, if you want, the world of anime already has countless classic character designs.

Just slip it in.

The reason why classics are called classics is precisely because they are captivating.

Moreover, although the character designs are quite classic, the plot is completely different.

Furthermore, the game is not entirely focused on romance.

such as:

The second act features a Japanese girl who can be stalked by a strange person. Players need to find out who is stalking her while also building a relationship with the girl.

The third act involves a flash flood that is about to occur in the village.

Moreover, attentive players will notice this when playing the first three acts.

Although the protagonist is the same person, all the timelines don't match up.

For example, the first scene could take place when the player is a sophomore in college.

The second act takes place during the protagonist's high school years, when he goes to Japan to study.

The third act could take place in junior high school.

Players might initially think this is just to add a sense of novelty, with no connection between the different elements.

But in the final scene...

The production team could have chosen a specific time point to have all the girls appear at the same time.

Those women who had once been together but were forced to separate for various reasons came to her door.

The most beloved and intense love triangle in harem anime is about to begin.

"Phew, just thinking about it is exciting."

Lin Li said.

While organizing my thoughts.

Then, we started building the framework bit by bit, including what optimizations the game engine might need to make to achieve this immersive experience.

For example, is it possible to convert animation into a VR perspective through some means?

Can the player slightly drag the camera?

For example, how should interactive animations be made?

When a player selects the notebook, can a smooth first-person perspective appear, showing the player reaching out and flipping through the notebook?

For example, who should write the script?

How should I branch out?

They kept asking questions and kept filling in the content.

soon.

A project framework was then presented to everyone.

Finally, watching Lin Li return to his desk with the frame and start making phone calls to Japan, I watched as he did so.

The onlookers were completely dumbfounded.

Most of them had heard the rumors about General Manager Lin.

But aside from old guys like the Sea Cat.

Most people have never personally experienced this feeling.

Umineko, on the other hand, laughed heartily.

"Let's go back to work."

"Don't be surprised. Go back and think carefully about what President Lin was thinking. See if you can use a core idea to develop your own game."

After everyone left.

Lin Li then went on to finalize the details of the entire project plan.

The next one to two days.

He is working on perfecting this plan.

As the plan is continuously improved, Xinghuo's human resources department has already begun to take action in advance.

Given the current prevalence of various identities.

If you want to set up another interactive animation production team, you naturally won't need to personally step in anymore.

Chapter 217 Anyone Can Do It

EPIC USA.

Li Weixi is checking out Xinghuo's official website.

Don't get me wrong, he doesn't want to switch jobs.

Instead, they were collecting information.

At this time, Lee Wei-hee was having a very bad time at EPIC.

In February, Lee Wei-hee proposed suppressing Spark through a propaganda war.

Before the propaganda war even started, EPIC inexplicably got into a fight with Steam first.

Later, after Steam crashed.

EPIC's efforts to suppress public opinion have not been very effective.

That matter was gradually forgotten.

In a large company.

This is a common occurrence, no matter how loudly a plan is announced at the beginning.

If it cannot be implemented.

You'll find that amazing things happen.

Everyone will voluntarily reduce the frequency of mentioning this plan until, in the end, it disappears without a trace.

It's the same this time.

Although the deal fell through, the conflict between Li Weixi and Eric Nathan intensified.

On the surface, it appears...

It seems that Eric Nathan and Lee Wei-hee were colleagues.

But in reality, both of them were trying to get rid of the other.

In this "war," Li Weixi was naturally the weaker party; after all, he was still Eric Nathan's subordinate.

Moreover, the last plan he spearheaded ultimately proved to be completely ineffective.

So.

Li Weixi has been looking for an opportunity during this period.

His way of looking for opportunities is quite unique.

As a Korean-American, his rise to prominence at EPIC was entirely due to his foresight in the market.

This so-called "foresight" is actually quite simple: he has a small team that works by working backward from the recruitment plans of major global companies to deduce their future plans.

They learn about the details of these projects through corporate espionage or even by posing as job seekers.

Finally, this information is integrated.

This became part of his boastful talk at the meeting about what many manufacturers should do in the future.

This kind of information collection.

To be fair, it was relatively forward-thinking.

For EPIC, this information does indeed help them find partners. In previous years, Li Weixi used this method a lot to communicate with newly launched projects.

Convince them to use Unreal Engine.

Surprisingly, the success rate is not low.

This is also why Lee Wei-hee was eventually able to climb to this position.

As his position rose higher, these methods became obsolete.

But now.

When he encountered difficulties, he naturally remembered his little trick.

During this time, he has been searching for clues everywhere, trying to achieve some results to stabilize his current position.

Although in the end they didn't manage to seize any opportunities.

But he discovered that Xinghuo seemed to be making new moves.

He handed over the information he had collected to his subordinates, and finally received a relatively accurate report the next day.

"Spark plans to make an animated interactive game."

When this news came to Li Weixi, he didn't actually pay much attention to it.

Because he has no way to profit from it.

It's impossible for Spark to use Unreal Engine, nor can it be listed on EPIC.

But this matter still weighed heavily on Li Weixi's mind.

~~~

It's almost the end of July.

With Anthem's complete collapse, Penguin suffered another defeat in March.

In stark contrast, The Hidden Guardians took a month to achieve sales of one million copies.

This is another masterpiece with over a million sales on the Spark platform in the past few months.

Moreover, neither "The Scroll of Taiwu," "Hades," nor "The Hidden Guardian" are traditional AAA titles.

Instead, they are small to medium-sized works.

Although some players may look down on these works, from a global perspective, more than 70% of professionals worldwide are working on small to medium-sized projects.

The successive success of these three games.

This has led to a significant increase in Xinghuo's success rate in negotiating partnerships with small and medium-sized manufacturers in the first quarter of this year. Even if an exclusive deal cannot be reached, a 100% success rate in getting products listed on the shelves can still be achieved.

This made Ma Xiao very anxious.

Last year, he could say that it was his first year in office and he didn't have access to resources.

What to do this year?

Ma Xiao looked around at his subordinates and felt a sense of helplessness, as if he had no capable generals to rely on.

Especially in the realm of anime and manga.
