Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

However, the main focus of domestic media reports was on the fact that the Spark platform's daily traffic exceeded 5 million RMB and that 2000 million users from home and abroad participated in the event.

Although Spark did not mention how much foreigners spent money on the platform, it is conservatively estimated to be around 30%.

That means there is at least 1.5 million in overseas revenue.

This isn't a month, it's a day!!

It's worth noting that most of the games on the Spark platform are domestically produced.

That is precisely why.

Xinhua News Agency and CCTV News both published related news reports.

These reports all stem from a supply chain perspective.

Of course, besides these relatively formal reports.

Many gaming media outlets tend to analyze interesting details in their articles.

For example, which companies actually earned the 5 million yuan from the Spark platform in one day?

To know.

The Spark platform also has its own best-selling list.

If you look closely at this bestseller list, you can find a whole bunch of news stories about it.

First of all.

Yesterday's best-selling list on the Spark platform featured Spark Family Packages as the top three best-selling items.

FGO, Battlefront Girls, and Arknights are all mentioned, but the fourth place is quite interesting. It's not Azur Lane, but the remake of JX3!?

To be honest, when this best-selling list came out, many gaming media outlets were completely baffled.

After all, "JX3" is not a 2D game.

Moreover, "JX3" is a jointly operated server, a newly opened server, and I didn't expect it to be so popular.

These media outlets then continued to dig deeper and discovered that the popularity of the joint operation server for "JX3" had remained high since its launch.

Many anime-style gamers interested in "JX3" were drawn in by the game's perks, and then in mid-last month, many "JX3" players noticed a large influx of new players on forums and online communities.

These newcomers all happened to come from the Xinghuo Joint Operation Server.

As we all know, for older games, servers with more new players are more likely to attract players.

In addition, Spark only has one joint operation server.

As a result, many players of "JX3" who had never been exposed to the world of anime and manga were also gathered here, and then attracted by the newcomer benefits offered by the joint operation vice president.

It just so happens that Xinghuo is giving away a lot of coupons.

In addition, since "JX3" does not have a mobile game channel, the recharge path for the joint operation server is only a single platform entry point, resulting in relatively concentrated revenue.

In fact, many things just happen naturally like this.

Even Lin Li himself probably didn't expect that, because of Tianfu Xishanju, the strategic cooperation between Xinghuo and Xishanju could actually spark some excitement in "JX3".

This spark, in turn, delivered a tremendous shock to the traditional PC game operators.

Chapter 477 Godfather, lead us on one more charge!

The success of the remastered version of "JX3" is due to a very complex set of reasons.

First of all, visually, it's a game that was just remastered last year.

Although the remastered version had a lot of problems when it was first released, it has been optimized up to a considerable extent after a year.

The visuals aren't top-notch, but they're not terrible either.

In addition, there's the payment model of combining points cards and skins in the joint operation server.

In addition, the Spark Online Server will give new accounts one hour of free playtime every day for the first three months.

In addition, a number of other perks have attracted some new players.

Its unique art style has even attracted many overseas players.

The game also has a built-in translator, so when foreign players speak in the game, the game will display the country and the text before and after the translation.

Although there aren't many overseas players, their efforts to attract domestic players have been surprisingly effective.

To put it bluntly.

Many players who have quit JX3 are now just waiting to see how the game is played.

I re-downloaded the game to see if there were really any overseas players.

However, after they played the game again...

Besides the novel discovery that there are indeed foreign players on the server, it was also discovered that the server is incredibly popular.

In addition, differences were also found between the servers used for this joint operation and the official servers.

First, the benefits are significantly more than those in the official server.

Especially the benefits for new employees.

The best part is that after completing all the beginner tasks, you get a 7% off coupon.

This coupon can be used to offset up to 300 yuan.

In other words, if you top up 1000, you only need to spend 700.

For many people, a single 700-yuan recharge is enough not only to buy more playtime but also to purchase some skins.

Furthermore, this 7% off coupon can even be combined with coupons issued during the Spark Summer event.

In other words.

If you're lucky enough to win a 40 minus 20 discount, you can buy a monthly card that originally cost 60 for only 22.

Alternatively, instead of buying a monthly pass, you can spend 22 to buy 140 hours of usage time.

Including the one hour of delivery per day, it's enough for most people.

If you play for two or three hours every day.

That means we can play for two months.

In addition, since it is the promotional period, the Xinghuo platform offers coupons, discount coupons, and promotional activities quite frequently, although 50% off coupons are only available during major events.

However, coupons for 95% or 85% off on weekdays are still quite easy to obtain.

Because of these coupons, Xinghuo hardly incurs any costs; it can release coupons simply by subsidizing merchants with platform commissions.

During the platform's overall promotion and distribution phase.

Spark still releases rolls very frequently.

under such circumstances.

It's the same game, the same content, and you can also enjoy the services of the Spark Joint Operation Server, so it's only natural that you'd succeed.

However, for most ordinary players...

The success of "JX3" on the Xinghuo platform's sales chart this time did not attract much attention.

On the contrary, those working in the game industry, from top to bottom, felt a significant shock from this.

In particular, a daily investment advice report from Morgan Stanley.

In this investment analysis, Morgan Stanley's investment team analyzed the revenue growth of Kingsoft's games after its collaboration with Spark and recommended increasing its holdings of Kingsoft stock.

The affirmation from capital has drawn the attention of the entire gaming industry.

This is completely different from the impact of Spark constantly breaking records for mobile game revenue.

Your skill in mobile games only proves that you yourself are good.

But this event by the Xinghuo platform proves more than just Xinghuo Niu.

More importantly, it proves that Spark can use the platform and is willing to use the platform to help others succeed.

At first.

Those who mocked Xishanju, such a big and established brand, for following Xinghuo have now changed their tune.

This is especially true for a large number of small and medium-sized PC game developers who are struggling to survive.

To know.

It's 2018, and Justice Online, touted as NetEase's last PC game, has been performing poorly since its launch last month.

Not to mention other PC games.

It's no exaggeration to say that traditional PC games are entering their final days.

Rankings on major PC game websites.

At a glance, they were all old games, some dating back several years, others decades.

These older games have managed to retain a large number of existing users by relying on nostalgia and sunk costs, and are barely managing to survive.

However, almost none of the newly released PC games are successful.

Furthermore, with the rapid development of mobile phone performance, PC games as a whole have declined even further.

It may have declined, but it's not dead.

The operational capabilities of Xinghuo in operating non-anime-style mobile games, as demonstrated by "JX3", have indeed surprised many people.

Many companies, including NetEase.

This was the first time I had felt pressure, and at the same time, my stance began to waver.

Some games that are barely surviving but still have some recognition.

The developers of those games that were once famous but have since shut down have all approached Xinghuo.

He was almost crying as he said it.

"Godfather, lead us to charge one more time."

And then there are these manufacturers who come knocking on our door.

Xinghuo greeted them with a smile and handed each of them a game rectification notice...

For these games.

In essence, Lin Li is someone you can do without.

on the one hand.

The companies that are approaching us now are mostly small and medium-sized PC game developers.

The main products they operate are often "old games".

Moreover, these older games have often reached the point where pay-to-win mechanics is no longer viable. Upon entering the game, players are bombarded with payment windows, making their conversion rate extremely low.

To know.

There aren't many Spark platforms now.

However, it has a good reputation globally. Many overseas players describe the Spark platform as a platform where they can experience new things.

Even games like "JX3" have brought a sense of novelty to many foreign players who were unfamiliar with the genre.

Even if Linli's goal is simply to expand its game library, most of these games are still substandard.

But a direct refusal would be inappropriate, so Lin Li created this game rectification notice.

Since the establishment of Xinghuo.

They've always followed the path of being a more ethical version of Pinduoduo in the gaming industry.

The main focus is small profits but quick turnover.

If you want to use a combined shipping service.

First, you need to completely eliminate all the pay-to-win elements in your original game.

Then Spark will assess your game fundamentals.

If they believe there is still a market, they will release the game's skin art assets and charge for them.
