Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

"Public opinion exploded."

Chen Zhou still hadn't realized what was happening.

"What caused such a public outcry?"

At this moment, the person who barged in probably thought that he couldn't explain himself, and since he was in a low position anyway, he might as well just throw the notebook he was holding on the table.

~~~

"Old Zhou, what are we having for lunch?"

"Eating in the cafeteria?"

"Oh, bring me one too!"

"Godfather! I'm still here!"

"Me too!!!"

The conversations in the dormitory are often this boring.

Zhou Shenlin was speechless at the sight of his adopted sons. Who told them to be so cheeky and say something like "eat in the cafeteria"?

From freshman to junior year, that's amazing.

Even so, Zhou Shenlin still went to the cafeteria to bring food for his godsons.

On the way to the cafeteria.

Zhou Shenlin started scrolling through his phone.

Something particularly interesting has happened in the Chinese gaming industry these past few days.

First, Spark's "Dimensional Battlefield" released a promotional video.

to be frank.

Zhou Shenlin also watched the trailer for "Dimension Battlefield" and found it quite captivating, especially the battlefield mechanics, which looked very interesting, along with the various characters.

Saber vs. Shana, Amiya vs. Kiana, Asuna vs. Emilia, Hatsune Miku vs. Bosnian Rock Shooter.

And in terms of map mechanics, there's actually Asuka piloting Unit-02 and fighting Rei Ayanami! What kind of nonsense is this?

A promotional video finished playing.

The comment with the most likes is

"The promotional video showcasing Spark's copyright information is really good. So, when will the game's promotional video be released?"

Yes.

Many players' first reaction after watching the promotional video was that Spark's possession of the copyright was a bit too exaggerated.

Why is copyright the first thing that comes to mind for everyone?

Besides the numerous characters featured in the promotional video.

Before the entire promotional video started, there was a full three seconds of partner logos covering the entire screen, which was truly stunning.

before this.

Spark rarely displays its own copyright library.

In reality, Spark started collecting copyrights in 16, relying on money and influence.

To date, they have obtained licenses from almost all animation companies, and in the gaming field, they have also obtained licenses from Bandai Namco and several mainstream game companies.

Even with Sony, because of the cooperation agreement, the copyright of the characters can be negotiated.

There's really no other way except with Nintendo.

Lin Li can pull in any other character.

However, Xinghuo has rarely displayed its arsenal in the past.

The company's games occasionally collaborate with other games, and the chosen animations and characters are carefully selected.

Most of the time it's not even a character collaboration, but rather something like a cosplay collaboration.

For example, in the Battlefront Girls collaboration, several times the Battlefront Girls characters were dressed in clothes that matched their personalities.

Collaboration is achieved by having one character cosplay another character's skin.

This kind of collaboration is something most manufacturers can't do, because many Japanese manufacturers won't allow changes to the characters.

But Spark can.

reason?

Actually, Lin Li didn't know either. Anyway, every time Lin Li asked if it was okay, the other party always said yes.

Lin Li was unaware of the reason, but Bandai Namco was.

Since the last time Lin Li and Bandai Namco signed an agreement to form a strategic partnership on the Gundam IP, Bandai Namco has actually taken advantage of this partnership.

To scare domestic counterfeit manufacturers.

Meanwhile, domestic counterfeit manufacturers, due to the ambiguous relationship between Linli and the official authorities, ultimately gave Xinghuo face and actually stopped producing counterfeit versions of several new models.

They also paid a fine to Bandai and signed a memorandum.

Although things will go back to normal once the news gets out of hand, Bandai's anti-piracy efforts in China over the years have actually been effective this time.

Those were hands trembling with excitement.

When he returned to the Japanese gaming industry, word spread that Mr. Lin really had connections!

Moreover, at the very least, it starts with "Guo" (国, meaning state/country)! Or even "Xuan" (宣, meaning propaganda/declaration)!

Otherwise, how could Xinghuo be so powerful?

Japan already has a peculiar tendency to admire the strong, and Bandai Namco's actions have further mythologized Lin Li within the circle of bosses in the Japanese anime and game industry.

Furthermore, given Xinghuo's generous pricing on copyright collaborations, there's really no need for them to provoke such a powerful figure, unless their plans after acquiring the copyrights are particularly outrageous.

Even GAINAX, the copyright holder of EVA, which prohibits any changes to character settings.

In this "Dimensional Wars" series, Xinghuo not only provided the voice for Asuka, but also created some background settings that fit the Dimensional Wars theme, and redrawn the character illustrations and posters in a unified style.

This style redraw is done for all the characters appearing in "Dimensional Wars". Basically, it's about refining the original art style in high definition and making it more combat-oriented.

When players marvel at the sheer size of Spark's copyright library.

Game developers who had collaborated with EVA were all trying to find out how Spark managed to get Asuka to speak...

Overall, Xinghuo's promotional campaign this time was quite successful.

However, many players, including Zhou Shenlin, quickly shifted their focus to something else after initially paying attention to the promotional video.

This matter is also related to "Dimension Battlegrounds".

The initial cause was a blogger in China.

Analyzing the gameplay video of "Dimension Battlefield" released by Spark is nothing special.

The key is the title he chose.

Honor of Kings game planners! Come here! Look! This is what MOBA 2.0 should be like! This is how games should be changed!!

In the video, the blogger listed 10 shortcomings of Honor of Kings.

And how Dimension Battlegrounds improves upon these shortcomings.

"Firstly, the UI is chaotic, and the numerous events are like a persistent skin irritation. Every time I open the King of Glory interface, it's filled with ads and red dots popping up, which is very annoying. This is not the case in Dimensional Battlefield."

"Secondly, skins add attributes. Although 10 points of attack power or 120 points of health may not seem like much, it is still an unreasonable factor. Skins in 'Dimensional Battlefield' also add attributes, but they add bonuses to settlement gold coins and experience. The value of the skins is higher than that of Honor of Kings, and they do not affect in-game attributes."

Chapter 428 Full of Aggression

"Thirdly, the matchmaking system is terrible. It's been stuck with the Elo matchmaking system for so many years. Even if a pro player gets the MVP on the losing team, they will still be matched with bad teammates, while players who are carried to victory can keep winning."

"Fourth, the server has been open for more than three years, why can't the function of selecting the position before matchmaking be added? Do you only feel happy when there are five marksmen in a game?"

This video has attracted a lot of attention.

On the one hand, many of the things complained about in the video are indeed things that Honor of Kings players really want to complain about, so players gave it a thumbs up.

Some passersby who already disliked Honor of Kings were even more impressed by this criticism and gave it a thumbs up.

However, at the same time, some of the complaints seem rather inexplicable.

For example, many players of Honor of Kings feel that adding 10 points of attack to a skin is not worth the criticism.

Therefore, they judged that this blogger was just making baseless accusations and that the video was an advertisement to drive traffic to "Dimension Battlefield".

The people on both sides started performing oral exercises in the video.

The video went from thousands of comments to nearly ten thousand.

If this video was a start, then this is the blogger's second video.

Five things the League of Legends developers did that were inhumane.

That ignited the entire internet's buzz.

In this video, the blogger updated five more arguments.

This includes League of Legends, which, after making money, only focuses on organizing tournaments to generate revenue, but has little motivation to upgrade the game content.

Since the North American server launched in 09, the graphics and gameplay have remained the same. The hero balance is a mess, with older heroes being weak and new heroes capable of taking on five opponents at once. Overpowered mechanics are too strong, and picking a weak hero means you've already lost half the game.

The same few heroes appear in the World Championship every year; we're all tired of seeing them.

And most importantly.

The benefits in League of Legends' Chinese server and international servers are not the same.

"Let me be blunt, the penguins don't treat us like human beings at all, they just treat us like ATMs."

"Take skins for example. In the US, skin prices are based on skin effects. The better the effects, the higher the price, and the worse the skin, the lower the price."

"What about the Chinese server? They just arbitrarily set prices and label skins as 'limited editions' without any real effects. Skins without special effects are even more expensive than those with special effects."

"The same skin costs 750 RP in the North American server, which is equivalent to $5.8. How much does it cost in the Chinese server? 199!!!"

"Is this something a human being would do?"

"And another thing, in this Crossing Void event, WEGAME players on the foreign server can get $11, just by downloading the game, while what about us? Goodness, we only get random red envelopes of 1 to 5 yuan?"

"Look at the game 'Dimensional Battlefield'. Download the beta test and get a 99 RMB voucher for the open beta, which is equivalent to choosing any skin."

"Sometimes I really wonder, are these penguins from China or from America? Which side are they on?"

Good guy.

The release of this video sparked even greater public discussion.

Although League of Legends was slowly declining in 18, it still had a considerable number of players.

Under normal circumstances.

If a blogger were to engage in such a disparaging and derogatory behavior, they would have been bombarded with criticism from League of Legends players long ago.

Can be a problem.

This timing coincides with the time when Tencent was giving 1 RMB domestically and 11 USD internationally, which caused the most uproar.

online.

According to Penguin Finance, 1 yuan = 11 US dollars.

"Here's a one-yuan coin on the ground. Pick it up quickly and remember to say thank you!"

These kinds of emojis are everywhere.

League of Legends players are inherently emotional.

The comments section was full of people criticizing Tencent.

However, as more and more people started criticizing, some core League of Legends fans began to fight back, arguing that penguins are penguins and League of Legends is League of Legends.

They also believe that the video is an advertisement for "Dimensional Wars".

As these players began to fight back, a large number of casual players and fringe League of Legends players stepped forward.

"What the blogger said wasn't wrong? Can't I even offer my opinion?"
