Chapter 196 Card Game Progress
The promotional work for the FGO spring update is progressing steadily.

Meanwhile, the promotional efforts for "Dark Night Decree" are also being continuously increased.

They were clearly in a bit of a hurry.

However, ANF's conditions are simply too favorable... After this period of operation, the site has purchased anime series at great expense, popular comics, popular derivative games, and countless excellent fan creations and UGC content.

This website is no longer just a haven for core anime and manga fans.

It also attracted a large number of young users who might not normally pay much attention to anime and manga.

These users are already general anime and manga fans, so they naturally don't object to pretty anime girls or handsome boys, and they also don't object to anime and manga content.

In fact, they make up a large proportion of the main target audience for second-generation games.

The reason why Tang Yao's second trip in her previous life was so popular was also related to them.

While it's possible to make a lot of money by relying solely on core anime and manga fans, it's impossible to support the massive anime and manga game market or create the phenomenal success of that game whose name I can't mention.

Therefore, Tang Yao possessed ANF during the early stages of the second game in this world, which can be described as a powerful weapon.

At the beginning.

Because of issues with Rumi's mother, Avalon was unable to launch a major promotional campaign.

Now that they're no longer blocking us, with Avalon ramping up its efforts and leveraging the ANF platform, it's truly a one-hit kill.

In addition, Avalon is no longer the Avalon it used to be.

Now, under the management of Li Xue and Tang Yao, the company has continued to expand and, apart from the content department, is gradually becoming less of a makeshift operation.

Their related publicity and promotion efforts were incredibly skillful.

"Dark Night's Decree" can certainly reach its target audience by simply placing ads on external anime forums, fan communities, and game communities.

But are you comparing your target users with ANF?
Tang Yao wanted to stand tall, put on the expression of the Shaolin Soccer hero, and say that they were all hers, but unfortunately Li Xue wasn't there... In the end, she had to give up.

soon.

The situation then reversed.

The popularity of the new version of FGO has directly surpassed that of "Dark Night Decree".

Of course, the "Decree of the Dark Night" could not be abandoned.

Just as Ji Fuliang confessed, they started by saying that the FGO collaboration event was perfunctory and just a bluff, and that the truth would be revealed when the game was officially released.

Most FGO players think they are brain-dead.

Because anyone with eyes to see, like Ji Fuliang's staff, can see that the probability is extremely low. With such a good promotional video, they can't possibly manage the game? What a joke! And when has FGO ever disappointed? How can you lie so blatantly?

This, coupled with Tang Yao's reply of "dog colleagues," made many players suddenly realize what was going on.

It seems like "Dark Night's Decree" has been hinting that this FGO collaboration event is terrible, right?
But who has actually played it?
They weren't insiders; they were competitors.

Competitors —

Oh--

Soon, most people guessed the cause and effect.

but.

Although FGO players have started to dislike "Dark Night Revelation", FGO is not a national game after all. Even if its player base is unique among mobile games, it is not a large number in the context of a huge player base, not to mention that manga readers may not necessarily play the mobile game.

and so.

Even though "Night's Decree" is not very popular and the number of people making reservations every day has slowed down, there are still fans of "Nightfall" who are attracted to it.

This, coupled with the fact that "Dark Night's Decree" made such confident promises that the truth would be revealed after the public beta, and kept saying that it was an authentic adaptation, led some players to believe it.

They began waiting for the public beta test.

So the popularity of "Dark Night Decree" has not dropped.

Tang Yao was just a little curious.

I've played their games myself.

That kind of quality is clearly a poor imitation of FGO, and it doesn't even try to hide its money-grabbing nature. How can it possibly compete with FGO?

She wasn't lying. The FGO collaboration event had been in preparation for a long time, and Avalon was made exactly like the main story, showing great sincerity.

Did they completely rewrite the game in such a short time?
It's probably too late, isn't it?

Then why are you so confident in saying "See you after the public beta"?

Tang Yao pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so she quickly let it go, stopped the mental strain, and went back to work.

The FGO collaboration event is already in its promotional phase, so of course she doesn't need to get involved.

What she needed to get involved in was "Card Fighting".

During this period, as Avalon expanded, although FGO was very busy, it did not affect the Avalon project team.

This game, originally developed by Mingyu Technology, is gradually transforming and reborn.

Tang Yao watched helplessly as it gradually changed from "Dou Pai" to resemble Hearthstone, a game she was familiar with.

And now...

Although it bears no resemblance to Warcraft, its gameplay has completely transformed into that of Hearthstone.

"Let the flames purify everything!"

When Ragnaros, the Firelord, spoke.

Tang Yao was even momentarily dazed.

"The voice actor's delivery of the lines was so cool!"

And the other side.

Si Jinliang didn't notice Tang Yao's dazed expression. He was just looking at the effect of the card on the screen and said happily, "The effect is cool too, we're awesome! And this card is also very interesting. When we play it ourselves, we call it the King of Balls."

Speaking of which.

He paused for a moment before continuing, "It's just... why does the Fire Demon King's character design have to maintain an elemental state? Wouldn't it be better to have a beautiful girl or a handsome boy?"

"..."

Tang Yao snapped out of her daze and glanced at him with her beautiful eyes.

That's certainly plausible, since she personally auditioned the voice actors. As for the character art...

"With only pretty girls, players can easily lose interest."

Tang Yao explained, "Sometimes it's a good thing to have some strange creatures mixed in with a group of beautiful girls and boys. This can not only change the gameplay, but also enrich the visual presentation. If you focus too much on one point, the game may lose its selling point."

Furthermore, *Against Card Game* is not *Fate/Grand Order*, and its main selling point is not characters; gameplay is the primary focus, with cards being secondary.

"so……"

Si Jinliang nodded upon hearing this, then looked thoughtful.

"Ah."

Tang Yao responded, her fair face full of seriousness.

But actually... she didn't know if she was doing the right thing.

Although the gameplay is still based on Hearthstone, the use of fragmented storytelling has led to a significant change in the overall art style, moving more towards anime and manga aesthetics.

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

She has to make many decisions.

such as.

Tang Yao realized that if every character came out with a bright and beautiful anime character illustration, it would make the game feel a bit cheap, and the card recognition would also decrease.

So she slightly adjusted the proportions of the characters and creatures in the card illustrations.

That's why we have the changes now.

But Tang Yao was not confident about this change... That's not true. This was a judgment she made based on her experience as a player in her previous life and as an artist.

But whether she was confident or not, she couldn't show weakness in front of Si Jinliang.
