Game Development: Starting with Recreating the Anime Game Style

Chapter 30 Server Opening

On May 5th, that day
10 am

Huang Wenfeng as usual

After washing up a bit, I sat down in front of the computer, turned on the webcam, adjusted the equipment, gently patted my face, and then set the name of today's live stream channel.

Final Frontline Open Beta!! First Look at Story Mode Gameplay!!

After confirming that there were no typos and that the streaming software was working properly, Huang Wenfeng started the live stream.

Then watch the software start.

As the live stream started up, a few viewers began to appear in the room. Since he wasn't a big streamer, he knew most of these regular viewers.

"Brother Feng, working on the last day of the May Day holiday? You're such a workaholic!"

A comment appeared on the screen.

"Fengzi! What new game are we playing today?"

Another one followed closely behind.

Huang Wenfeng cleared his throat and spoke into the microphone.

"Welcome everyone to the live stream, happy May Day, brothers."

"Let's play Final Frontier today, let's explore the story together."

Since the official launch time was 10:30, Huang Wenfeng wasn't in a hurry to start the game. Instead, he planned to chat and wait for the live stream to gather some viewers.

"Yay! Yay!! It's the Final Frontline storyline! We're saved!!"

"I wanted to play today too, but unfortunately I already have to go back to work."

A comment filled with resentment floated by.

"Huh? Isn't today the last day of the May Day holiday?"

"Hehe, theoretically yes. Theoretically, we should have weekends off, but where are my weekends off?"

The words convey a sense of helplessness typical of 'corporate slaves'.

"Same here, I'm back at work too. Luckily there aren't many people in the office, so I can still slack off and watch live streams."

The comments section went off-topic for a while, but someone quickly brought the topic back.

"Hey, Feng, Feng, quick, make a prediction! Who will beat the gun-wielding girl or the final battle?"

The person who posted this comment was clearly influenced by the recent media hype.

But Huang Wenfeng didn't respond.

Although he is a staunch fan of "Final Battlefront," after all, almost all of the tens of thousands of fans he has accumulated in his live stream are thanks to "Final Battlefront."

If you look through his past videos, you'll understand that Huang Wenfeng's strength lies in his ability to create hilarious moments in the Auto Chess mode of Final Frontline.

His various bizarre lineup combinations and outrageous antics that maximized the show's entertainment value allowed him to amass over 100,000 followers in just two months.

The most-viewed video on his own channel is titled "What the hell is 30 seconds of despair!"

The video is short, just a compilation of recordings from a single game of Auto Chess.

In that match, Huang Wenfeng played one of the best builds of the time: the "rapid-fire armor-piercing build."

此时的黄文峰已经凑齐了德国的HK416、MP7、G28、P8，触发了【莱茵金属共鸣】，将作为穿甲挂件的四人组全都升到了2星以上。

It gained tremendous armor-piercing capabilities.

At the same time, we've collected three domestically produced gun girls: the Type 97, Type 92, and QBU-10. We're only missing the core humanoid Type 95 assault rifle to trigger the [Starry Origin] effect.

That way you can assemble the ultimate form of the "Rapid Fire Armor Penetration" build.

At that point, the game had entered the battle royale stage, with only one player remaining on the opposing team. By then, everyone had basically assembled their team compositions.

The team with the more complete lineup has a greater chance of winning.

So when Huang Wenfeng was preparing for the battle and browsing the store, both the audience and he himself were on tenterhooks.

However, after the first two rounds of updates, there was still no result.

Huang Wenfeng kept chanting "Out!! Out!! Out!!" while his hands trembled as he continued to refresh the shop. On the third round, as the shop refreshed, 95 appeared! Right in the first slot of the shop!
The live chat exploded with comments: "It's out! It's out!" "Did you see that? Did you see that?!" "Brother Feng, grab it quickly!"

However, whether it was nervousness or blindness, he didn't see it! His gaze skipped over 95 and he casually clicked refresh again.

He kept muttering to himself, "Where's my 95? Help! Give me a 95!"

then.

Amidst a screen full of "???" and "I saw it!!" comments.

He clicked refresh again.

The store changed again.

95, that's all.

The live stream was silent for half a second.

Immediately following was a deluge of comments like "Hahahaha," "Esports has no eyesight," "This is hilarious!", "Comfortable!", and "Is the streamer blind?"

After subconsciously clicking refresh, Huang Wenfeng suddenly realized what was happening.

"No! I just saw '97!!" "No, I really didn't see it!" "Oh my god!!!"

The video ends with his utterly dejected face and a screenshot of the defeat settlement.

This seemingly low-budget video garnered him hundreds of thousands of views, solidifying his status as a well-known "endgame streamer" on the front lines.

Because he started out playing "Final Frontline", Huang Wenfeng, like many other players, has a very high opinion of "Final Frontline" and thinks it is definitely the most conscientious game of the year.

However, Huang Wenfeng was, after all, just a small-time anchor.

In situations like this, where manufacturers are arguing, it's best to avoid getting involved. You never know how your words will be interpreted in the end.

However, he didn't want to get involved, but there were many people discussing this in the comments.

Some people even encouraged Huang Wenfeng to try out "Gun Girl" after "Final Front" finished airing.

Huang Wenfeng chatted casually.

The mouse is used to click occasionally on the main interface of "Final Front".

Previously, when I clicked on it, it always showed "Server under maintenance", but this time when I refreshed it, the screen went to the loading screen.

"Holy crap! The server opened ahead of schedule!"

"Brothers, we're here! The server's open!"

He shouted into the microphone, and the progress bar at the bottom of the game started loading.

The live stream chat started scrolling with comments.

"finally come!"

"I've been waiting all day!"

"Go, Feng!"

Normally, once the progress bar is full, you should enter the game's main interface, but this time it didn't. As the progress bar filled up, the screen went black.

Then a somewhat hurried female voice came from Huang Wenfeng's speakers.

"Commander! Wake up! Are you alright?"

The sound had a slight echo, making it sound somewhat unclear.

"Commander! Are you alright?"

Another call rang out.

This time the screen finally lit up, but the view was blurry, as if viewed through frosted glass, and it was shaking violently.

After struggling for a while, the blur faded and the image finally became clear.

A girl with black hair and a white dress was standing in front of the camera, her face full of anxiety. As a veteran player of Final Frontline, Huang Wenfeng naturally recognized her; she was the game's mascot, 95.
