Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Sitting in the company's business vehicle.

David looked at Lin Li sitting next to him and was even more speechless.

Heaven and earth conscience.

He simply nodded subconsciously.

The man then got into the car.

It's obvious they're going to Mihoyo to gather intelligence.

But Dawei couldn't say anything.

The two had just eaten at the same table.

The only way was when Lin Li looked out the window.

He quickly sent the text message he had edited on his phone.

"Lin Li is coming to our company! Quickly put away all the important documents!!!"

After sending it.

David relaxed a lot.

Then, he saw Lin Li suddenly turn his head and smile at him.

"Will my sudden visit cause you any trouble?"

David quickly shook his head.

"No, no."

However, in my heart I was thinking, "Of course I would."

But outwardly, he simply couldn't show it.

~~~

That afternoon, accompanied by miHoYo's president, Dawei, Lin Li entered miHoYo's headquarters with great interest.

For miHoYo.

Lin Lilai was very interested, after all, this company was considered legendary in his previous life.

However, this time he came not only to see miHoYo's progress on Genshin Impact.

Incidentally, I also wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Dawei about the current downturn in the game license market.

The two entered miHoYo one after the other.

Lin Li, on the other hand, was not intimidated at all, looking around curiously.

With his hands behind his back, he really looked like a leader at miHoYo, pointing fingers at the program and planning that were in progress.

If it were anyone else, David would have kicked him out long ago.

But ironically, Lin Li's pointing fingers actually hit the nail on the head.

"I feel something's off about this. Noelle's character is supposed to be a maid, so her affection level should be maxed out right from the start. Why add Karl to the character relationships?"

"Oh~~~ This!! You want to put a five-star weapon in each area of ​​the map? So that players can obtain it through different methods?"

"This setting is interesting, but...aren't your stats a bit low? A fake five-star rating?"

“This approach won’t work. You could even give them higher stats and then adjust their usability in other ways.”

"Hmm? Keqing is going to appear in the first chapter? That's a good idea. She was my favorite character when I watched the PV."

"But... this is too deliberate. It's just a cameo, there's hardly any plot..."

"Was this scene added later?"

From the moment Lin Li uttered his first words, Dawei and the main creators behind him kept their mouths agape.

To know.

Before Lin Li arrived, they had already hidden some core information.

The employees were also informed to only do the most basic workload.

But that's it.

Lin Li was able to deduce countless details from some fragments.

This is a bit too scary.

David really wanted to exclaim, "Are you the one in charge of Genshin Impact, or am I?!"

How do you know better than I do what Genshin Impact looks like?!

How did you know about my Genshin Impact development plans?!

Seeing that Lin Li and some of the mid-level managers of Genshin Impact were actually starting to talk about their creative ideas, Dawei couldn't stand it any longer and, under the pretext of being thirsty, dragged Lin Li to the tea break room.

The most outrageous.

When David left, he could clearly hear his employees muttering.

"President Lin is quite something; he was able to figure out what I was confused about with just a glance."

"Yes, yes, I think what President Lin said is very insightful."

"Hey, why did the BOSS pull President Lin away? We haven't reached a conclusion on that issue yet."

Dawei was speechless.

~~~

As Dawei pulled Lin Li toward the tea break room, he tried to ease the awkward situation by changing the subject.

"Hey, by the way, how's the progress of your Star River Paradise game from Spark Games? I saw in the promotional video that it seemed to be quite complete."

Lin Li smiled slightly.

"It's alright, but I can't keep up with you guys. I just checked your progress and it seems pretty good. You've already finished the second map? How's the content filling going? When are you planning to launch it?"

"It's still early."

David clearly didn't want to talk about it.

But Lin Li had no intention of letting it go.

"I see you guys have some side-scrolling platformers. Are you planning to make an indie game out of that and do some marketing?"

Since the successful exploration of Galaxy Paradise.

The domestic gaming industry, especially the ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) gaming industry.

Another strange trend has emerged.

It involves developing small games to promote and distribute larger games.

For example, a while ago, Honkai Impact 3 released a side-scrolling single-player game.

You know what, although the quality can only be described as average.

But because it's priced at only 9.9 yuan.

It has received very positive reviews and has indeed boosted the traffic for Honkai Impact 3.

So when Lin Li was just browsing around and saw some Genshin Impact materials that he didn't have in his previous life, he immediately realized that miHoYo probably used Genshin Impact as a pre-release promotional tool to attract users.

Hearing Lin Li's question.

David was shocked once again.

He really had no idea how Lin Li had managed to glean the information from so many messy clues that they were making a small game to build a good reputation.

Even if you were presented with the materials, a normal person probably wouldn't be able to tell which game they were used in, let alone figure it out.

So let's set aside all impossibilities.

There is only one answer left.

In the Genshin Impact project team.

There's a mole!!

Lin Li had no idea how much psychological trauma his casual remark had caused Dawei.

David didn't reply.

He just smiled and shrugged.

Unexpectedly, this action seemed even stranger to Dawei.

But this is clearly not the time to catch the mole.

So David turned around and asked another question.

"Is Galaxy Paradise really planning to go all-female? Haven't they considered introducing some male characters as well?"

"Yes," Lin Li answered decisively.

"Why?" David pressed. "Galaxy Amusement Park's investment wasn't small, was it? Why not pursue a larger market?"

"It's not that we don't want to, it's that we don't know how," Lin Li said sincerely.

“Our team, starting with Battlefront Girls, has followed a more traditional anime/manga style.”

Although Lin Li's words sounded sincere, they were not telling the truth.

For Lin Li...

His reason for not making games with male and female card pools is simple: he believes it's a pseudo-market.

If.

整个市场的玩家比例是8比2，那么林立想要拿的是100%的8，而不是用这个8的市场份额去赌另外的两成。

For Lin Li, having female players is naturally a good thing.

But even without that, his massive base of support is enough for him to live very well.

I just don't know if Dawei believes this.

Chapter 244 Goodbye, Dawei!

For miHoYo...

Genshin Impact's marketing strategy was set from the very beginning.

Actually, discussing these things is pointless.

After realizing that Lin Li wasn't telling the truth, Dawei didn't continue the conversation.

Following this topic, Lin Li visited miHoYo's motion capture room and sound effects room. Although Spark Games also had these things, they were still in the exploratory stage.

The same applies to miHoYo, but miHoYo was established earlier than Xinghuo Games, so there are still some points to refer to in terms of these technological applications.

Especially regarding the selection of voice actors, the dubbing studio, and the sound effects supervisor.

We spent another hour or so browsing.

In the afternoon, as a guest.

David also treated Lin Li to afternoon tea, mainly because David felt that Lin Li was too unrestrained.

Wow, he seems more like the boss than Mihoyo itself.

The key point is that this person is indeed very familiar with game development.

Regardless of your position at miHoYo.

They can easily start a conversation after just a couple of sentences.

The miHoYo employees seemed very excited to be able to chat with Lin Li.

After all, Lin Li already has quite a few accolades to his name.

Battlefront Girls, FGO, Galaxy Park, plus the recent Gamescom.

The numerous Spark Games have become a kind of textbook in the industry.

Even miHoYo's Genshin Impact development team frequently analyzes the PVs, world-building, and art style of Galaxy Paradise.
