Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Upon seeing this, Chen Rui simply smiled and shook his head.

"It has such a strong spark of inspiration."

What is meant by "spark flavor"?

In the industry, Spark Flavor is the kind of company that likes to incorporate small details into games that encourage players to share and recruit others.

For example, recruiting new members for the Battlefront Girls and reviving existing members in the Galaxy Paradise exploration.

And unlike many manufacturers.

Almost all of Spark's sharing activities have one rule.

You'll receive a referral reward whenever a new player scans, downloads, and installs the game based on what you share.

Even if others don't download it.

As long as you post it, and other people click on it or scan the code, even if they are not new users, you can still get the basic reward.

The reason for calculating based on clicks from other people is...

This is because Spark needs to determine whether the link you sent was actually sent out or sent to yourself.

In this situation.

Many players don't usually share.

Seeing others get rewards for sharing easily, I developed the habit of sharing myself.

Especially during every large-scale event.

Almost all of them have events where you can get items by sharing.

So if you're a Spark player, you don't need to check news websites when a game starts an event.

The gamers around you will share it with you.

Initially, gamers weren't used to this, but later, many of them got used to it.

It's like getting a discount on Pinduoduo.

If you want this reward, then give it to me; if not, just glance at it.

Chen Rui glanced at his account information.

"I've already played for 20 hours?!"

Seeing this time record.

Chen Rui was somewhat surprised. He had always thought he hadn't played games much, but today he realized he'd actually played for 20 hours? That was truly...

Return to the main screen.

The default central screen is the Spark platform's online store interface.

The top of the store interface features rotating promotional displays.

The default view below shows today's trending games. Next to these trending games, there are also categories such as today's new releases, popular games, and online player count.

These are features that are available on most mainstream gaming platforms.

However, Xinghuo made a more detailed allocation.

At first glance, it looks a bit like the ranking system of a novel website.

"Goodness, the entire Legend of Sword and Fairy series, the entire Candle Dragon series, and Heroes of Might and Magic, and the Light series,"

Since the Spark platform has just been established.

Aside from Spark's own games, most of the games in the store are the kind that look impressive but are actually quite old.

Out of curiosity, Chen Rui also selected a few games.

Each game, once you click on it, has an introduction page where you can see gameplay footage and the year it was released. The video even has built-in comments.

The comments section consists of brief reviews from players.

Yes.

The game reviews on the Spark platform are divided into short reviews and long reviews.

It's clear that this platform still lacks experience.

However, many details have been polished to the point that it doesn't feel like a new platform at all.

Back on the main page, Chen Rui chose to sort by release date. Now, the top-ranked new games were almost all PC versions of domestic mobile games.

Then Chen Rui opened the trending games list.

Unsurprisingly, the most popular games on the charts are mostly games developed by Spark itself.

Next to each game is the number of players currently online.

The top-ranked game is FGO, with 71 players currently online.

The second is Battlefront Girls, currently with 40 online users.

The third place is Galaxy Paradise Exploration, with 25 visitors.

The fourth one is interesting; it's actually from Seasun Games' "Girl Cafe Gun".

To be honest, Chen Rui could understand the previous ones, but when he saw Girl Cafe Gun, his mind went blank for a while. Wasn't this a game that had been dormant for a long time?

Puzzled, I clicked on it and discovered it was because of an event—100 free draws were given upon logging in.

Many players have already left their comments in the comment section.

The current positive review rate is 70%.

There were criticisms, but also positive reviews. The positive reviews mainly focused on the free 100 free draws and the significant changes to the monetization experience compared to the mobile version...

Chen Rui thought for a moment, then continued scrolling down.

Beneath his girl-themed coffee gun lies Azur Lane.

Further down.

Another strange game, "Shenwu Fantasy," popped up.

A single-player game that Aurogon released just last year.

Chen Rui curiously looked into why this game had made it onto the most-played list.

They didn't search for long.

Chen Rui soon discovered this.

The reason why "Shenwu Fantasy" is here is because after the Xinghuo platform is updated, it will receive a special offer every month.

The special offers for this period are as follows.

*Shenwu Fantasy*, *Night of the Full Moon*, *Girls' Frontline: Comrades*

Players can purchase a game at a discounted price of 19 yuan.

Shenwu Fantasy looked like a blockbuster game from the trailers, and its art style was novel to overseas players, so it was chosen by many players.

Chen Rui glanced at the homepage of "Shenwu Fantasy" and found that in the comments section below the homepage, there were reviews of "Shenwu Fantasy" from several foreign media outlets, including IGN.

This is a new feature of the Spark platform.

Media ratings have been introduced.

Currently, a total of 8 domestic and foreign media outlets have joined the platform.

Of course, while it's called "joining the platform," it's actually just that Xinghuo pays them to rate the platform. The money they pay is a service fee from the Xinghuo platform.

Not that kind of money.

The cost is not high.

However, if you were to rate all the games on the platform, the amount of money wouldn't be small.

Among them, the more popular media outlets receive higher rates from Spark.

It turns out.

This trick is actually quite useful.

Many players said it was quite interesting to be able to see media ratings directly on the platform, and that player ratings were right next to the media ratings.

It really gives me a strange feeling.

In addition to media ratings.

There is also a button next to the player rating.

It says "[Review Video]"

Clicking on it casually, Chen Rui saw a video player with bullet comments on the left and a playlist on the right.

After clicking in.

The video started playing automatically.

The first video that played immediately caught my eye when I looked up.

[Is "Shenwu Fantasy" experiencing a second spring? Ranking in the top three on YouTube livestream popularity? Why did it suddenly become popular overseas?]

The video content is also very simple.

The main focus is on analyzing the sudden popularity of "Shenwu Fantasy" overseas, which is then used to introduce the game.

in fact.

Why is "Shenwu Fantasy" selling so well overseas?

The reason is simple: it's cheap, and it's a subject that foreign players rarely encounter.

Foreign players were attracted by the game's quality and its Eastern-influenced art style, given its low price.

Many overseas players exclaimed.

"This thing only costs less than $4!?"

These are not things that Chen Rui cares about. The fact that "Shenwu Fantasy" is popular overseas is not important.

Importantly, it became popular because of the Spark platform.

This is the crux of the whole problem; that's where I came in.

He felt a bit annoyed, a sense of unease stemming from his brother already owning a Land Rover made him lose focus at work, so he simply shouted something to his assistant.

"Call everyone in the games department over for a meeting!!!"

Chapter 417 If the second game were a web novel

Chen Rui shut down his computer and called a meeting.

In this process.

His brain was constantly thinking.

After Lin Li proposed the game platform strategy, Bilibili's games entered a very awkward situation.

First of all, in the gaming field, although Bilibili focuses on anime and manga, it still follows the traditional agency model.

In terms of agent revenue sharing ratio.

Bilibili's agency agreement is absolutely clear compared to those of the big companies.

When you encounter a small company, you should acquire it.

just now.

By doing this, Spark Games has not only destroyed the livelihoods of traditional manufacturers, but also those of Bilibili.

As the top of the food chain in the ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) industry, Bilibili's user base once made Chen Rui want to develop it into a major platform.

But things are different now.

In this timeline, besides developing towards a large platform, Chen Rui also wants to develop towards becoming a top-tier distributor of anime-style games.

Let me briefly interject here.

In this timeline, with the great success of works such as Onmyoji, FGO, Battlefront Girls, and Honkai Impact, a series of works have emerged.
