Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Lin Li understood perfectly.

Even with the endorsement of leaders or documents from the State Press and Publication Administration, it is merely a matter of procedural justice.

After all, the State Administration of Press and Publication's document only states that Spark can upload works that have passed the State Administration of Press and Publication's overseas works review in non-China regions.

It is also assumed that players can purchase the game through a VPN.

However, this does not mean that Spark can be promoted in a high-profile manner.

Just like in its previous life, Tencent's Monster Hunter: World also has procedural justice.

From the documents...

Tencent could indeed release a "beta" version of Monster Hunter: World in China.

pity.

Tencent's top-tier marketing campaign not only ruined Monster Hunter: World, but also made the leaders who endorsed Tencent take the blame.

Lin Li wouldn't do something so foolish.

Su Shanshan was also clever, and she quickly understood Lin Li's history. However, she soon thought of a new problem.

"That's true, but we follow the rules, but will the penguins follow the rules too? We don't want the penguins to do something stupid and end up dragging us down with them."

Lin Li smiled.

"I also raised this question. The two leaders don't have a very good impression of Tencent, especially of WEGAME."

"After speaking with me today, the State Administration of Press and Publication will schedule a meeting with the relevant personnel from Tencent tomorrow..."

"They shouldn't do anything stupid. What we really need to worry about is that after the State Administration of Press and Publication opens up this threshold, Tencent might find out that we are doing this and try to annoy us and start an arms race."

The State Administration of Press and Publication's document could not possibly be targeting only Xinghuo.

All domestic game platforms can launch overseas games that have been approved by the State Administration of Press and Publication and are targeted at overseas markets in non-Chinese regions.

As for domestic games targeting overseas markets, the previous documents will still apply.

In this situation.

After being summoned for questioning, Penguin might have been a little confused for a moment, but seeing that accelerators like Queqiao could still speed up Xinghuo Games normally, he would naturally come to his senses.

At that time, the competition between Spark and Tencent will not only be about Chinese games going global, but Tencent will also likely launch a large number of overseas games on its platform.

"What should I do?"

Hearing Lin Li's prediction that Tencent might launch a large number of games overseas in the future, Su Shanshan also felt a headache coming on.

Lin Li, on the other hand, wasn't bothered at all.

"Don't worry, the penguin's global influence is too low."

Lin Li never took the penguins seriously in terms of competition.

Even though it is the world's largest gaming company.

But Lin Li felt that even NetEase was more of a competitor than Tencent.

Penguins may be big, but they're not scary at all.

~~~

"The current situation is actually quite clear."

Looking at the global platform wars, the State Administration of Press and Publication's new policy has been released.

It doesn't matter to STEAM and EPIC, since they haven't even entered the domestic market.

For Spark, this provides an equal space for external competition.

After all, you can't just accept that domestic players buy foreign games through Steam.

On the one hand, they are cutting off their own domestic platforms from selling games overseas.

The State Press and Publication Administration actually only solved this problem for Spark.

Therefore, this policy is merely a supplementary measure for Xinghuo.

For Tencent, this seems to offer a new path, allowing them to attract more overseas games to their platform.

But as mentioned before, Tencent's overseas influence is insufficient, and this model cannot utilize domestic traffic and promotion.

Spark is not afraid of direct competition from Penguin at all.

I'm afraid that once the penguins realize they can't compete, they'll resort to underhanded tactics.

"What should I do?"

Su Shanshan felt that the possibility of Tencent resorting to underhanded tactics... no, it shouldn't even be called a possibility, just based on the fact that someone requested "Valkyria Chronicles" this time.

If a penguin loses a fight, it will almost certainly resort to underhanded tactics.

"This matter is difficult in some ways, but simple in others."

It's difficult to say.

After all, procedural matters are the hardest to guard against in the country when they are done in a dirty and unethical way.

It's simple.

It's really that simple; just look at the companies that have been selected by the White House.

Haven't these companies been attacked with underhanded tactics?

Yes, there are, but for these companies, as long as they stay on the right side and don't have any fundamental problems, the underhanded tactics of the outside world are almost useless to them.

"So, in the end, we still have to work hard to develop ourselves. The stronger we are, the wider our path will be. That's the right way."

Lin Li was quite moved as he looked back.

This time, Summer Spark really hit the mark.

The best-selling list displayed on the entire Spark platform during the summer effectively showcased Spark's current advantages.

For the domestic gaming industry, the Spark platform is a true platform for going global, enabling domestic games to expand overseas.

For foreign games...

The Spark platform provides a way to enter China indirectly.

Even though STEAM can theoretically be sold to Chinese users, judging from Valkyria Chronicles, Spark Platform, a company rooted in China, clearly has more local Chinese users.

For Chinese developers who do not have a game license.

Spark has become their only lifeline, as it can be sold to the public.

On the other hand, single-player games can be exported and then sold domestically.

Mobile games can also be converted into PC games first, and operated on PC for a period of time, before making further plans after the game license is restored.

These things constitute reputation, but not reputation among gamers; rather, reputation among major manufacturers.

What Lin Li needs to do is keep moving forward.

Next stop! E3!

Chapter 481 The Next Big Thing?

The next day.

The State Administration of Press and Publication released a new draft on its official website and also summoned a bewildered Tencent for a meeting.

The industry insiders have reviewed the new draft.

It's something that those who know, know.

However, whether you understand it or not, one thing is already quite clear.

That is, the country is genuinely making efforts to promote the globalization of domestic gaming platforms.

this..

Could this be the next big trend?

Whether it will be the next big thing, Chen Ming of Perfect World is not sure.

But he knew he had a meeting soon, and if he didn't go now, he wouldn't be able to find a seat.

The staff union of the Jade Dynasty World project team.

This meeting is a monthly all-staff meeting.

All employees must be laid off.

No matter what you do, you have to come.

Basically, it involves listening to the lead planner explain the key tasks for the month.

The meeting was scheduled to start at 2 p.m., but Chen Ming arrived at the meeting room at 1:30 p.m.

It's not that he likes meetings.

It's because arriving early allows you to sit in the back row, and you can use your phone to pass the time during the afternoon meeting. If you sit in the front row, you won't enjoy this benefit.

If you're a long-time employee, you might doze off or play on your phone while sitting in front, and you'll likely get a few words of criticism.

But Chen Ming was a newcomer.

If someone gets called out, it's not something that can be resolved with just a few words; he won't be able to enjoy these long-term employee benefits.

I'll just sit obediently in the back row.

Sitting in the back row, Chen Ming put on his headphones and started watching videos.

Like many people working in the gaming industry.

He also enjoys browsing Bilibili.

Bilibili has been buzzing these past few days. Every time Chen Ming opens it, it's almost entirely filled with images of pale, white thighs... well, no, I mean cute swimsuit cosplays.

The Summer Spark event featured a three-day swimsuit cosplay exhibition, with 40 minutes of content each day.

The content creators on Bilibili and Douyin have cut it into hundreds of segments, as if they wanted to cut a separate segment for each person's appearance.

Can be biased.

Even videos that are only a few seconds long or a minute long still get clicks to watch.

Even Chen Ming.

He had clearly seen many of the cosplays before.

But seeing the bare thighs on the cover, I couldn't help but contribute another view.

And later on, these content creators went even further.

Especially those who change the music to the beat, take a video of a cosplay swimsuit show and add some rhythmic music that matches the beat.

They dare to label it as a relaxing bedtime treat.

Goodness, watching this before bed? Won't it make you more and more energetic?

Besides these videos becoming wildly popular.

The video of Nogizaka46 making a surprise appearance at the Spark Summer event also went viral.

This time, in addition to being the closing act at the summer concert, Nogizaka46's appearance was even more surprising because they performed a street "flash mob" style show on the beach at night.

She performed several dances, including "Naked Feet Summer".

Even involved.

It also sparked a trend of swimsuit dancing in the Bilibili otaku dance section.

Many users who enjoy browsing Bilibili have been seeing countless white thighs on their screens these days.

In fact, thanks to algorithm recommendations, the traffic to the otaku dance section on Bilibili has increased significantly during this period.

Xinghuo deserves much credit for this.

Of course, besides the cute swimsuit girls, there are also updates like the Spark game event version, and strategy guides.

Interviews with voice actors and gameplay demos also have a significant impact on Bilibili.

However, in all the videos related to the Summer Spark event...
