Game Development: Starting with Recreating the Anime Game Style

Chapter 170 Jade Plate
The enthusiastic crowd, the powerful figure behind the scenes, had no idea why Chu Chen was so confident.

But things have developed to this point, and they can't stop now. Anyway, they don't make games themselves, and they're not afraid of Starry Night Games smearing them. The comments online are becoming increasingly offensive.

So, by September 20th, these "dirts" had moved from Weibo and Baidu Tieba to some media outlets.

Some unfamiliar newspapers in the capital city began reporting on these events online.

An online publication called "New Perspectives" published an article titled "Beware of the Historical Nihilism Behind Electronic 'Opium'"

The article criticizes the game settings of "Final Battlefront" and "FGO" without naming them, and the words are sincere and heartfelt.

With the emergence of this news.

The "enthusiastic masses" on the internet were once again mobilized.
In the dimly lit room, only the light from the computer screen illuminated a young face.

Hu Wen, a college student, works part-time as an online troll.

He was staring at the QQ group that kept flashing on the screen. The group was called "Network Justice Execution Department," which sounded impressive, but it was actually just a group for sending orders to online trolls.

The group owner, who is also his superior, just sent him a private message with a task.

"The list from Starry Sky Games, as usual, focuses on criticizing 'Final Battlefront' and 'Fate/Grand Order'. I've prepared all the materials for you. Each post is worth 80 cents, and a high-quality long article is worth 3 yuan."

The message was followed by a "struggle" emoji.

Hu Wen pursed his lips and typed rapidly on the keyboard.

"No."

The other party was clearly used to it, replying with a question mark instantly.

"You're not answering again?"

"I won't answer, I won't answer."

Just kidding, of all people to criticize, why criticize Xingchen?
It's not that Hu Wen is some kind of moral saint; after all, if he were truly that kind of person, he wouldn't be doing this kind of part-time job online.

However, on the other hand, although he cannot be called a saint.

But he is, after all, a college student, a college student from China. It doesn't matter if he criticizes celebrities for money, since he doesn't follow celebrities. It doesn't matter if he criticizes games, since those trash games deserve to be criticized to death.

Ke Xingchen plays his own games, and his favorite is "Final Battlefront." Asking him to criticize the game he's playing is somewhat schizophrenic.

Besides, there are plenty of jobs these days, so he won't starve. He has a choice, so naturally he'll choose one that makes him comfortable.

Even if you're doing online trolling part-time, you should do it with a conscience.

The supplier seemed too lazy to argue with him and directly assigned him another order.

"You've taken this order from NetEase, the one for Onmyoji, right? The price is the same."

Hu Wen's eyes lit up.

Black market activities? That's a possibility.
"received."

Hu Wen replied that he had accepted the message, but did not act immediately. He glanced at the time and saw that it was already 9:50. The 1.2 version update of "Final Front" was about to start.

Who the hell works at this hour? Let's have fun first...
Close QQ and open Star Tap.

"Final Battlefront!!! Activate!!!"

Like many Final Frontline players, Hu Wen was very much looking forward to version 1.2.

Because it was mentioned in the developer logs as early as the beginning of September.

The game revealed that the battle area for version 1.2 will not be on the ground, but on the lunar rings.

In addition, it was announced that logging in for a total of 7 days in version 1.2 will earn you the AK-47 Space Special Edition.

Although it's a space-themed outfit, StarCraft Games clearly understands its players, as the upper body of this skin incorporates many small elements from the Soviet space era.

The lower half of her outfit remained a skirt. Moreover, the original black stockings had been replaced with high-tech white stockings; the texture and those long legs were mesmerizing.

This skin is so beautiful, and it's free to claim upon logging in.

Therefore, before version 1.2 was officially released, the usage rate of AK47 in the game's PVE was soaring, and many people even wrote PVP and PVE guides specifically for AK-47.

The goal is to ensure that this skin doesn't gather dust after the new version update.

This shows how popular this skin is.

Many players who had already left the game even re-downloaded it before the server opened just for this skin.

With the popularity of this skin.

Many players have also become interested in the storyline of version 1.2.

War on the lunar ring.

While this theme has appeared in some movies, it's relatively rare in anime-style mobile games, so from the moment the subtitle for this version was announced...
Hu Wen was already looking forward to this update. He was eager to know how the game's storyline would lead to battles on the moon, and what the differences were in the battles on the moon.

~~~
"Final Battlefront!!! Activate!!!"

With Hu Wen's dramatic shout, the Starry Sky Games logo flashed across the computer screen, followed by the familiar login screen of "Final Front".

The progress bar loaded incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, a brand new game background suddenly filled the entire screen.

There was no rousing music, nor any cool battles.

The screen is roughly half-occupied by the moon, while the other half is a ring of the moon slowly rotating around it.

Click to enter the game.

Since Hu Wen had already completed the prerequisite tasks for version 1.1, the game directly entered the main storyline of version 1.2 after he clicked to enter the game.

Same as the previous two versions.

The game begins with an opening animation.

In 2208 AD, the completion of the space elevator ushered in a golden age for humanity.

The first iconic structure of humanity's golden age was the largest creation ever built by humankind, a lunar ring complex codenamed "Jade Disc," placed in lunar orbit.

A voiceover follows.

The classic "Starry Night Miracle Showcase" has begun.

The term was initially used to describe the space elevator in version 1.0 and the circular city, and the Nightfall War in version 1.1 further reinforced this concept.

Now, version 1.2 has been released.

Even though all the players knew that Starry Sky Games would definitely give them a big surprise.

The enormous ring of metal and lights surrounding the moon is still somewhat suffocating.

The ring that appeared in the story of 95 people was enormous.

It hangs gracefully on the neck of the moon, like an unparalleled diamond necklace.

Countless tiny transport ships shuttled back and forth within the ring, like industrious fireflies. The camera gradually zoomed in, revealing an "interstellar train" speeding along the outer edge of the lunar ring.

Zoom in quickly.

"Holy crap. This art direction, this budget."

Hu Wen couldn't help but mutter to himself.

That's why he likes "Final Frontline"—because the game's development team always manages to bring something new and exciting to the game.
