Game Development: Starting with Recreating the Anime Game Style

Chapter 36 The Moon in Foreign Lands

At the same time that Huang Wenfeng was live streaming.

United States.

Texas.

"OMG!! Wow!! That was so cool!! It felt like watching a movie!!"

"OK! OK! Let me translate. Here's what happened: these idiots said they were going to abandon our girls, and then we stood up for them!"

"I always keep my word!"

"handsome!"

The person in front of the camera at this moment is named Paul Baker, one of the few people who streams "The Last Front" on YouTube. The reason he is streaming it is because...

Going back a few months, he was just a small streamer with a few hundred followers. He received a collaboration invitation from the official "Final Battlefront" team simply because he could speak Chinese.

To be honest, when Paul saw the $1000 collaboration offer, he initially thought the other party was a scammer.

Because he only streams out of pure interest! And he has fewer than a few hundred fans, with only a few people in his live stream room each time. What kind of company would invest money in a channel like this?
Isn't this $1000 just a complete waste of money?

However, Paul ultimately accepted the order, and he actually received $1000.

To some extent, the $1000 brought Paul back to life after he had planned to retire from the live streaming industry.

What happened in the following month was even more amazing. After the initial version of "Final Front" was broadcast, he, like many other players, became addicted to the game.

As mentioned before, the auto-chess gameplay of "Final Front" has very low latency requirements, and even packet loss is not a problem, because the data is already calculated in the background as soon as two players are matched.

It's just a final show for the players.

Therefore, even though Paul is far away in the United States, he can still travel without any problems. In addition, he comes from a typical American elite family and studied at a university in China, so he has no problem speaking Chinese.

So, for the next few days, even without the funding...

He's still playing "Final Battlefront" in his livestream.

Then, he actually received a second round of "funding" from the other company, only this time the cooperation contract was for five years.

The other party paid him quarterly, with the only requirement being that he broadcast for the required amount of time each month. Apart from that, there were no restrictions on him playing other games; in fact, the other party encouraged him to play other games to drive traffic to the channel.

Finally, the other party also promised to buy him YouTube promotions.

For this kind of "sucker"

Paul naturally couldn't refuse, and over the past few months, he has gradually gained popularity, from a few hundred fans at the beginning to several thousand, and now he has more than 100,000 fans.

Moreover, most of his followers are players who enjoy novel games.

There is no US server for "Final Frontiers", so when Paul plays the game, he often hears questions about what kind of game it is and why there is no English version.

He even pretended to write to the developer, asking these questions, and finally learned that the English version would be updated this year, and that English voice actors would be invited to provide voiceovers.

In short, Paul, using other people's money, gradually became a moderately popular blogger.

This still made him very happy.

This also strengthened his confidence to continue down the career path of a video blogger.

However, after broadcasting PVP for several months, Paul's channel popularity has reached a bottleneck, and Paul himself has noticed this problem.

But he didn't have a good solution.

Until today's major version update.

He immediately became excited because he could clearly feel the number of comments and the number of people watching the live stream increasing throughout the entire version.

Although Paul still needed to translate the story content, *Final Battlefront* itself had many cutscenes. Furthermore, Paul could react to some of the scenes while translating, so the effect was actually much better than when he was playing PvP.

After all, the essence of YouTube is reaction.

Just like now.

Following two battles that used "limited units," meaning the commander personally took to the battlefield, 95 reappeared on screen.

However, upon seeing the character art for 95, Paul immediately let out a strange "Aww!" and covered his head with both hands, almost knocking his headphones off.

"OH!! NO!!"

He slammed his hand on the table, causing the Coke cans on the table to jump up and the live stream camera to shake violently.

"95!! My God! What happened to 95?!"

"Holy crap! OMG!! What did these bastards do to her?!"

On the screen, the face that usually wore a gentle smile was now covered in gunpowder and dust.

What's even more heartbreaking is that 95's left shoulder looked like it had been hit by heavy firepower, completely torn apart, and his left leg was twisted at a strange angle, clearly broken, hanging down with force.

The CG-level character illustrations vividly depict the girl's battle-worn state, with every detail piercing the viewer's heart like a needle.

The barrage of comments surged forth like a flood bursting its banks.

Those who have watched Paul play the game storyline entirely in Chinese, and have been watching until now, are mostly viewers who are already immersed in the story in the comments section, so Paul's shout is quite something.

Their emotions were stirred up too!
"Holy crap!! My 95!!!"

"No! Production team, you have no heart!!"

"Quick, translate! What happened?! How could 95 be injured like this?!"

Even in her miserable state, when 95 saw the commander on the screen, the first thing that appeared in her beautiful eyes was utter worry.

"Commander!!! You, how did you get here? This, this place is dangerous!!"

Upon hearing this, Paul exaggeratedly clutched his chest, leaned back in his gaming chair, and looked as if he was "heartbroken and couldn't breathe."

He pointed his finger excitedly at the screen and shouted loudly to the viewers in the live stream.

"Did you all see that! Did you all see that! This is our 95! Even though she's injured like this, her first reaction is still to worry about the Commander!"

"Oh, oh, oh, the translator! She's worried about us, brothers! She said it's dangerous here, tell us to run!"

"Waaaaah, the katana! Is today's update just a way to make me cry?"

"I've broken down, brothers, who can handle this!"

Followed by.

"Commander!! What brings you here!!"

"commander!!!"

"commander!"

With each weak or urgent call, the other androids in the protagonist's squad appeared one after another in front of the commander, or rather, in the camera's field of vision.

Without exception, almost everyone was injured.

There was a momentary pause in the chat in Paul's live stream, followed by an even larger explosion of comments.
