October 23rd …
The English and Japanese versions of Repent and be Saved were officially released!
Hao Shuaiqi had already downloaded the English version of the game on the new live-streaming website Link Live. Then, he started another round of the game.
However, this time, he did not follow the traditional route. Instead, he wanted to complete the game as quickly as possible.
After such a long time of live-streaming, the number of subscribers to Hao Shuaiqi's live-stream kept increasing. At the moment, there were more than a hundred thousand subscribers. That was quite impressive on a new live-streaming website like Link Live.
Every day, viewers would ask, "When will the game be released in English?"
On Aili Island, Hao Shuaiqi's video of Repent and be Saved had become extremely popular. The comments made by the foreigners when they watched the game's livestream had also become a hot topic for local gamers.
Now, the English version of Repent and be Saved was finally out. Naturally, Hao Shuaiqi wanted to use this opportunity to advertise the game to his viewers.
Naturally, the viewers in the live-stream were cheering.
"I've been watching the game's live-stream. It looks like a very difficult action-type game. Thank you so much for introducing such a fun game to us!"
"That's great! The English version is finally out! God knows what I went through when I played the Chinese version. "
"I have to say that the English version of the game is pretty good. I took a look, and some key translations were done perfectly. They translated the original meaning very well. What a conscientious developer. They put so much effort into the details. I like it! "
"A game that made me, someone who was not interested in Chinese culture at all, addicted."
"I've seen the blogger complete the game a few times. I believe that this game will not be a problem for me!"
Many gamers also left messages of support on the official overseas platform or spontaneously promoted the game on various forums and websites.
The overseas version of Repent and be Saved was doing very well!
…
Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd. …
Li Yada had been paying attention to the figures on the foreign web. The more she watched, the more emotional she felt.
"I didn't expect that the figures on the foreign web would be better than the figures in China.
"Boss Pei is so amazing!"
Li Yada was completely convinced.
This time, the official platform had helped to create the multi-language version of Repent and be Saved. The translations were very high-quality. Even so, Li Yada was not 100% sure that the game would become popular overseas.
The reason was simple: the cultural differences were too great!
The domestic and foreign gaming markets were two completely different things.
There were many games that were popular in the country, but they would not be able to adapt to the environment overseas. No matter how hard they tried to push them, they would not have any effect.
There were also some games that didn't have a sound in the country, but they were doing very well overseas.
Therefore, there was even a group of publishers in the country that specialized in the overseas market. They would work hard to study the tastes of foreign users and be in charge of the overseas localization of some local games. There was also a huge amount of profit in this.
The so-called "internationalization" was to completely transform a local game in terms of style, gameplay, game details, publicity methods, and so on so that it could better cater to the tastes of overseas players.
Sometimes, in order to achieve a better effect, they even had to change the entire packaging of the world and change it to a western fantasy setting that was more acceptable to foreign players.
Therefore, it was extremely unlikely for a game to become popular in China and overseas at the same time.
Games that could achieve this would undoubtedly become the pillar games and cash cows of the game company.
Thus, Li Yada was very surprised that Repent and be Saved could achieve good results overseas.
"Frankly speaking, Repent and be Saved doesn't look like a game that would be popular in the overseas market.
"The background of the entire story was based on traditional Chinese culture. Many elements that resonated strongly with domestic players, such as the Bridge of Helplessness, the Three-Lifetime Stone, Granny Meng, and so on, might not affect foreign players at all.
"Even so, foreign players still like the game so much. That's enough to show how successful the game is.
"This is all because of Boss Pei's hard work!"
Li Yada admired Boss Pei from the bottom of her heart when she thought about how much effort he had put in for Repent and be Saved.
"First, there is the design of the game itself.
Repent and be Saved is a very hardcore action-type game that suits the tastes of overseas players very well.
"Boss Pei took the risk of not being accepted by domestic players and came up with a very difficult gameplay. Perhaps he wanted to appeal to both domestic and overseas players from the very beginning?
"Second, there is the publicity method.
"Many foreign bloggers on Link Live live-streamed Repent and be Saved while checking the dictionary. That made the game widely known overseas. At the same time, it became a hot topic for discussion.
"The chances of foreign bloggers spontaneously recommending the game are very low. However, this is also a result of the game's characteristics.
"The game itself is so outstanding. Even without Hao Shuangjun, other foreign bloggers would have discovered the game and spread it around.
"Finally, Boss Pei told me not to rush to release the overseas version.
"On the one hand, he wanted to patiently wait for the game to become more popular overseas. On the other hand, he wanted to leave more time for translators so that the cultural connotation of the game could be accurately and elegantly translated.
"All these factors combined to make Repent and be Saved's overseas version successful!
"This is probably what they mean by 'strategizing in a tent to determine victory from a thousand miles away', right?
"Boss Pei, you've really thought of everything. You're so thorough!"
"It looks like I still have a lot to learn!"
Li Yada sighed from the bottom of her heart.
Just as she was feeling emotional, Pei Qian arrived at work.
Li Yada quickly stood up. "Boss Pei, regarding the overseas version of Repent and be Saved, the current situation …"
Pei Qian's expression darkened. He quickly raised his hand to stop her. "Say no more."
Li Yada quickly nodded. "Ah, alright, Boss Pei."
Indeed, Boss Pei had expected this. It was unnecessary to report the good news now.
Pei Qian was speechless.
He had to hear such bad news so early in the morning. How unlucky!
"Boss Pei, the project team doesn't have any other tasks now. They only have some simple bugs to fix. Li Yada said, "I plan to give them some work to optimize the version or prepare to develop DLCs. What do you think?"
“DLc？ No! "Pei Qian was shocked. He quickly stopped this dangerous idea.
He looked at Li Yada and said seriously, "Everyone has been working so hard for so long. Why don't you rest?
"Employees are Tengda's most valuable asset. You can't overwork yourselves!
"What's more, if you continue to produce without input, you will dry up no matter how much inspiration you have.
"As game creators, you have to play more games and learn more from them. Only then can you create new and interesting games. Do you understand?
"Don't do anything this week. Er … let Bao Xu lead everyone to play games.
"Bao Xu, you will be the lead player in the future. You will be in charge of leading everyone to play games.
"Make plans and assign tasks to everyone. No matter what game it is, everyone has to play at least forty hours this week. If you don't play enough, you will be held accountable! "
Bao Xu, who had been shrinking his neck and trying to reduce his presence, trembled.
F * ck! My head is about to go into the monitor. Why did Boss Pei still assign tasks to me?!
Bao Xu quickly stood up and said, "Yes, Boss Pei."
Pei Qian angrily went to his office.
Everyone in the office exchanged confused looks. Then, they turned to look at Bao Xu.
Bao Xu was speechless. He spread his hands and said, "Why are you looking at me? Everyone, get to work. Don't make things difficult for me. "
Everyone in the office exchanged confused looks. Then, they quickly put down their unimportant work and opened the game in a fluster.
…
In the office, Pei Qian used his English skills to read the reviews of the English version of Repent and be Saved. He sighed silently.
Sigh, although he had predicted this outcome before he created the English version, there was nothing he could do!
At first, Pei Qian thought that he could block more than ninety percent of overseas players by relying on cultural barriers and cultural barriers. However, he now realized that he had been too optimistic.
He really did not expect these overseas players to eat raw meat for the sake of suffering. What's more, a group of Chinese-speaking bloggers became popular!
Thus, when the official platform saw the enthusiastic response of the game in China and overseas, they decided to help translate the game into a foreign version. Everything happened naturally.
"Forget it. I'll leave it to fate."
There was nothing Pei Qian could do about that.
Finally, he entered a state of last-minute preparation and went through all the activities for 1024 Digital Day again.
In the afternoon, Pei Qian watched some dramas and then took a nap in the office. He was waiting for the farewell dinner that he had arranged for Chief Editor Xia and the others.
…
…
At night, Tengda's seven-seater commercial vehicle and an ordinary commercial vehicle were parked in front of Ming Yun Private Kitchen.
Xia Jiang alighted from the car. Her face was pale, and she did not look very energetic.
The few people who alighted from the car behind her did not look very good either. A strong cameraman could not even walk steadily. He looked weak and had probably vomited.
It was obvious that most people were not used to this kind of extremely exciting entertainment.
Xia Jiang recalled her unforgettable experience at Jingzhou's Xintiandi Amusement Park and felt very unwell.
The roller coaster, the drop tower, the pendulum, the haunted house …
Xia Jiang did not know how she persevered. Even now, her legs were still weak.
Pei Qian was already waiting at the entrance of Ming Yun Private Kitchen. When he saw everyone's dispirited state, he could not help but smile from the bottom of his heart.
Hehe, I've finally won back some ground!
Let's see if you dare to stab me in the back again!
Pei Qian could not help but think happily. Should he arrange a similar 'one-stop tour' for all the reporters in Jingzhou? That way, no one would dare to interview him in the future.
"How was it, Chief Editor Xia? Did everyone have fun today?" Pei Qian smiled warmly.
Xia Jiang forced a smile. "Yes …"
Pei Qian nodded in satisfaction. "That's good! Everyone, have a good rest after dinner tonight. Tomorrow, I have arranged for a high-altitude parachute event. It's very fun. You must not miss it! "
Xia Jiang, "…"
…
…
The next morning …
When the staff arrived at the hotel where Xia Jiang and the others were staying, they found a trophy, a certificate, and a hundred-thousand-yuan bonus for Boss Pei.
There was a letter beside the trophy.
"Boss Pei,
"Thank you very much for your warm hospitality during this period. We had a very unforgettable time in Jingzhou!
"Due to the heavy workload, the leader suddenly arranged for a new interview. We had no choice but to rush back. Boss Pei, you were busy with work and did not have time to say goodbye in person. We apologize.
"Rest assured, Boss Pei. This interview will be a success! I hope that we will have another opportunity to work together!
