Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Sweat gradually soaked through his vest.

Almost everyone at miHoYo stared at Lin Li in disbelief.

At that moment, Lin Li seemed to be telepathically turning his head to look at them and giving them a thumbs up.

Holy crap! That's outrageous!

Lin Li's well-intentioned actions were collectively ignored by Dawei and others.

He turned around and quickly sat up straight.

~~~

The reason why Galaxy Paradise was able to produce such a seemingly complete demo at this time is not because Spark Games is actually ahead of miHoYo in terms of progress.

Instead, it follows the development model of "Galaxy Paradise".

Don't be fooled by Xinghuo Games' current impressive performance; they can announce several titles at a time during press conferences.

But upon closer inspection...

It's not hard to see that most of these projects are games of similar scale to Battlefront Girls.

The entire Spark Games headquarters had virtually no experience in developing large-scale games.

The only experience I have comes from the Japanese branch.

However, the experience gained from the Japanese branch is not very effective in China.

Chapter 216 There are still experts!?

Although Spark Japan is a new company, the people inside are not new; they are all people that Spark Games poached from various manufacturers.

Perhaps an average of one AAA developer experience per person is too much.

However, it is undeniable that Japanese companies have far more experience in developing large-scale projects than Chinese manufacturers.

Especially the development of this type of standalone project.

Therefore, Japan's Spark could quickly get started with the development of Destiny Trajectory.

But not at the Starfire headquarters.

The employees at Xinghuo headquarters basically all have experience with a failed online game, and most of them have no concept of this kind of large-scale single-player project.

Even Lin Li himself had little experience.

Therefore, after the project was approved, Lin Li was actually quite uneasy.

To put it bluntly, at that time, Xinghuo Games' headquarters was even inferior to miHoYo in the development of large-scale projects.

miHoYo at least developed Honkai Impact 3 before.

However, when the project "Galaxy Paradise" was initiated, Spark Games had virtually no experience with 3D game development projects.

Even though Spark Games has its own engine.

There are also people available.

There are sufficient development funds.

It has a well-developed development plan.

However, none of these can guarantee a project's 100% success.

Therefore, Lin Li devised a clever way to play it safe.

That means don't think too far ahead.

Everyone focused on one thing: completing the entire first chapter of Galaxy Paradise.

Go through the entire process.

If developing a large-scale game isn't feasible, can't we at least develop a "small" demo?

It turns out.

Lin Li's decision was very correct.

Since the project was launched at the end of last year, the entire Galaxy Paradise project team has encountered one problem after another in the past six months.

It can be said that the progress of the entire Galaxy Park project over the past six months has resembled a Möbius strip.

Problem arises > Problem is solved > New problems arise during the problem-solving process > Problem is solved again > More problems arise.

We just solved one engine feature, and another new problem pops up.

Just as we finished figuring out the plot details, the production team said that the transition between the plot and the performance seemed a bit off.

We just finished building the model here, and now they're saying there's a conflict between rendering and the model.

In short, these past six months have passed.

Galaxy Paradise has been constantly discovering and solving problems, gradually opening up its content.

Therefore, if we only look at the development progress, Genshin Impact's development progress might actually be faster right now.

No..

It should be said that it is definitely faster than the progress of "Galaxy Paradise".

After all, putting all your effort into the first chapter is a very time-consuming and laborious task.

It's like an assembly line.

They're building an assembly line, and you insist on making a product by hand.

Although you may seem to be ahead when the first product comes out, that may not actually be the case.

Of course, Lin Li's approach was not without its advantages.

Once you've handcrafted your first product, you'll have a clear understanding of the entire production line.

Similarly, when the first chapter of "Galaxy Paradise" was completed.

The entire production team of Galaxy Paradise gained a very comprehensive understanding of their work.

The subsequent work can then be carried out simultaneously.

In such open-world projects, once the first piece of the puzzle is completed, the framework needed for the entire game is basically in place.

Going forward, you won't need to worry about the framework anymore; you can just fill in the content.

However, David was clearly unaware of this.

He originally thought that Lin Li would continue to use the PV scam method, just like him.

But to everyone's surprise, Lin Li didn't play by the rules this time.

It's one thing for Destiny Trail to showcase gameplay footage, but how come your Galaxy Paradise also showcases gameplay footage?!

How did you do that?!

After a full hands-on demonstration, Dawei had only one thought in mind.

This child is terrifyingly powerful.

Only those who have taken the same test can understand what kind of monster got a perfect score.

miHoYo is more shocking than ever before.

But no matter how shocked I was.

What's done is done, there's no point in thinking about it too much.

Also.

After the entire PV was released, there was something else that made him feel somewhat more at ease.

That is after this demonstration.

Although "Galaxy Paradise" also received a lot of cheers.

Although the number of reservations is also increasing rapidly.

But after the final PV was released, the number of pre-registrations was about the same as that of Genshin Impact.

Many overseas users of "Galaxy Paradise" do not have Bilibili accounts, and many players have already pre-registered but have not clicked the button.

But more so, it's because...

Players cannot intuitively understand the game's completeness behind the PV demonstration.

From a player's perspective, this PV seems to be about as complete as Genshin Impact.

In comparison, Genshin Impact showcases a richer variety of visuals and environments.

If things stay this way, even if Genshin Impact doesn't take first place in pre-registrations tomorrow, it should at least be neck and neck with Galaxy Park.

Perhaps they can even use this incident to boost the existing popularity of "Galaxy Paradise".

Thinking about this, Dawei sighed.

I even felt a bit sorry for Spark Games.

It's a bit like, I know what's so amazing about this thing, but most people just can't see it.

In addition, Genshin Impact was still number one in pre-registrations at that time.

After calming down, Dawei still had the energy to talk to the other main creators next to him.

"Players are players after all. Even from our professional perspective, we lost this time, but players clearly still prefer quick scene transitions and as many characters as possible to be shown."

"This proves that our work last month was not in vain, and that we took the right approach to publicity."

"However, we need to recruit more people when we get back to the development site. The development progress of Spark is a bit too frightening."

"Furthermore, in this promotional campaign, we will expand outwards from the 'first in reservations' label..."

David hadn't finished speaking.

He felt a sudden earthquake, and at the same time, a deafening cheer suddenly erupted in the venue.

"what happened?"

With this question in mind, David turned his attention back to the other end.

The PV that elicited thunderous cheers from the audience had only been playing for three seconds.

The first three seconds of this video don't contain much content, just three logos.

The first thing that pops up is the most familiar one – the Spark Games logo.

When this logo appeared, viewers who had just finished watching "Galaxy Paradise" thought it was a Gundam or a promotional video for Naruto.

After all, there was the matter of Spark Games acquiring the copyright last year.

It's been widely discussed online.

But when the second logo appeared, they were confused.

Because this second logo is one that has never been seen before.

The logo of the World Doujin Game Foundation.

The moment this logo was revealed, not only the audience at the scene, but also the players watching the live stream started to have questions.

I don't understand how Spark Games and fan-made games are connected.

Then comes the third second, which is when the logo just appeared.

Until this point.

No footage has appeared in the entire PV yet.

But when this logo appeared, the comments section went completely crazy.

This logo appeared in the last few seconds at the Bilibili Game Festival in 2017.

Yes:
