Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Tencent has been announcing its intention to enter the anime and manga market since 16.

But now, 19 years have passed.

Three years have passed.

Not a single successful work, not one at all.

Ma Xiao even found EPIC.

I'd like to ask EPIC if they have any plans to develop anime-style games. If not, could they perhaps include the Fortnite IP, or at least modify it?

Let's make a 2D battle royale game.

It's fair to say that the penguin was starting to panic.

After a series of setbacks and the blow from Anthem, Ma Xiao desperately needed a game to boost his confidence.

and this.

This led to a strange and unexpected connection.

During an exchange between Penguin and EPIC, Li Weixi privately shared the information he had gathered with Ma Xiao.

Ma Xiao was overjoyed to have found this information.

Because at this time, Xinghuo was only just initiated.

what does this mean?

This means that Penguin could copy—no, borrow—the game before the original was even released.

As for whether this project is feasible?

That's definitely feasible!

This is a Spark project, a first-party game from Spark!

so far.

Spark's self-developed games, being first-party developers, have never failed.

It can be said that Ma Xiao, as Xinghuo's enemy, trusted Xinghuo's own judgment more than Xinghuo himself did.

However, when Ma Xiao obtained Li Weixi's information and wanted to push things forward...

That awkward question has arisen again.

Who should be chosen to execute this project?

Yao Xiaodong? Obviously not. Although the old man is still capable, he has lost his ambition and has never been interested in promoting new projects.

What about the other studios?

Ma Xiao had some doubts.

Ultimately, it was his assistant who reminded him.

The trouble should end it.

Since it was Li Weixi who brought this up, why not let Li Weixi do it?

what?

You said Lee Wei-hee is a member of EPIC?

Hi.

So what? With the relationship between Tencent and EPIC, getting someone is easy, isn't it?

Hey, don't tell me.

Ma Xiao really took this method to heart.

So, after a while, they started going back and forth.

Lee Wei-hee was also tempted.

Instead of battling Erik Nathan at EPIC, you might as well go to Tencent.

Moreover, the position Ma Xiao offered was quite good.

WEGAME's manager.

This position has gradually become a redundant one within Tencent, but for Li Weixi, it is a perfect fit.

He works in platform operations at EPIC, so he has some knowledge of platform management.

Secondly, as a person of Korean descent, he actually has some connections in South Korea.

These features weren't actually used much at EPIC.

In China, they can actually complement each other.

The only thing to worry about.

The question is whether, after joining Tencent, we can make this project a success.

Li Weixi wasn't actually too worried about this matter.

In his view, animated interactive games have very little technical content. Why not just find an animation company and copy the framework of The Hidden Guardian?

Isn't this something that anyone with hands can do?

As for whether this game mode will be successful?

How could something that Xinghuo is doing be wrong?

Lee Wei-hee even had an even more insidious plan: after taking office, he would first introduce the concept of interactive animated games.

If we launch another media offensive, we might be able to turn this concept into Tencent's own before Spark does.

Chapter 218 Shichimiya Aina

At the same time, a series of personnel changes occurred at Penguin.

Xinghuo is also actively planning projects internally.

During this period, Hai Mao also frequently brought Tian Jun to Lin Li's office.

This is mainly because after the "My Perfect Strategy Manual" project, which was the previous animated interactive project, was officially launched, HaiMao and his team also completed the launch of the "Arknights" single-player project.

The main plot revolves around the doctor's second awakening.

In this storyline, the Doctor meets Theresa and Amiya, uncovering the reasons for the current collapse of Terra and the establishment of Rhodes Island.

The plot was actually decided a long time ago.

However, Umineko has not yet decided on the way the story will be presented.

Ultimately, it was inspired by Lin Li.

They also plan to use interactive games to allow players to deeply experience and feel the impact of making important decisions.

However, they do not intend to use animation in the form of animation.

Instead, they plan to use 3D rendered cutscenes.

simply put.

They wanted to see if the "3D Chinese animation" approach would produce even better results.

After all, compared to 2D animation.

In fact, the 3D to 2D rendering method is more influential, and both Detroit: Become Human and Heavy Rain use 3D interaction.

Regarding the route chosen by the sea cat.

Lin Li also supports it.

These past two days, Lin Li, Hai Mao, and Tian Jun have been discussing this quite a bit.

Today is no exception.

Just got to work this afternoon.

The three of them started chatting in the office.

We're chatting right now.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Tian Jun, the youngest in terms of "seniority," opened the door with practiced ease.

As mentioned before, this is Lin Li's office.

The main creators of each project take turns on duty.

So there were quite a few people in the office at that time.

After opening the door.

Tian Jun suddenly paused for a moment.

Everyone in the office looked over.

reason?

the reason is simple.

Because standing at the door was a pretty girl around twenty years old.

She had long, straight black hair and wore a light blue dress with a cardigan over it.

Beneath the skirt were a pair of snow-white feet, wearing leather shoes and white socks.

Tian Jun racked his brains but couldn't recall any of the main creators in the company's studio who were so pretty and delicate.

After holding it in for a long time, I finally managed to say something.

"Who are you looking for?"

The visitor immediately bowed.

"Excuse me, I'm here to see General Manager Lin."

As soon as she said that, almost everyone in the office perked up their ears.

The production team of Girls Frontline were even more engrossed in gossip.

no way.

Suddenly a beautiful young woman appeared in the office, but no one recognized her.

This eliminates the possibility that the other party is a senior executive of Xinghuo.

Since he is not a senior executive at Spark.

How could they find their way here?

Lin Li, however, was upright and had nothing to fear, and stood up.

"What do you want from me?"

The girl saw Lin Li and quickly ran over.

His smiling face was so warm it melted anyone's heart.

"Mr. Lin, I am Shichimiya Aina, and I am currently in charge of the operation of Spark Animation Studio. Mr. Nagano asked me to report to you on my work."

Following Shichimiya Aina's words.

A sigh suddenly came from the office out of nowhere.

It was the sigh of someone who wanted to eat melons but didn't get to.

What? I was planning to watch a chaotic scene, but it turns out to be the Japanese branch. How boring.

However, not everyone found it boring.

What happened to the Japanese branch?

Can't a beautiful Japanese girl have a relationship with Mr. Lin?

Many people have their eyes on the screen, their hands on the keyboard, but their ears are still on Lin Li.

Lin Li ignored those who were just enjoying the spectacle.
