Chapter 291 The Media Ratings Are Refreshed
Tuesday, October 12.
Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd.
Li Yada just finished communicating with several translation studio staff.
After asking President Pei for instructions, Li Yada has already contacted several good translation studios in China, and sent part of the content of the game copy to them for trial translation.
Li Yada deliberately selected some puzzle-solving elements in the game, wanting to see the real level of these translation studios.
In similar side missions, a poem is often used as a clue to find the corresponding prompt and then trigger the corresponding plot. The difficulty of translation is quite high.
On the one hand, the meaning of these verses must be fully translated, and it is good to leave out some key information, so that foreign players can also solve puzzles based on these contents;
On the other hand, it has to be honest and elegant. If such a good ancient poem is translated into other languages and becomes vernacular, it will be boring and have no aesthetic feeling.
Therefore, this is actually a test of the translator's skills, and ordinary people really can't do it.
These translation studios have delivered trial translation content one after another, but Li Yada showed the content to Assistant Xin for a look, but they all got negative answers.
The translation is not wrong, but the beauty of the translation is not enough.
Li Yada's own English level is average, but he can roughly tell whether the translation is good or bad.
Not to mention Assistant Xin, who has worked as an assistant to the vice president of a well-known foreign company and is proficient in three languages. It is definitely not so interesting to say that she is doing the translation herself, but you can still tell the quality of the ready-made translation at a glance.
Therefore, Li Yada had a simple communication with these studios, asking them to re-translate and improve their posture level, otherwise they would regretfully not be able to cooperate.
After dismissing these translation studios, Li Yada couldn't help feeling that what Mr. Pei said was indeed right.
There is really no rush!
The translation work of "Return to the Shore" is much more difficult than other games. If someone wants to be quick, it will definitely be a machine translation, and the quality cannot be guaranteed.
It would be self-destructive to launch the multilingual version at that time, which is not Tenda's style at all.
Tengda has always been ignorant of investment, and has tried every means to make all the details the best. This is the core spirit that every Tengda person has learned from Mr. Pei.
"Forget it, I'd better listen to President Pei and don't rush in."
Li Yada also tried to find some powerful talents in the translation circle, but it was difficult to find them for a while, mainly because there was no such avenue.
There are some full-time translators on the official resource site, and some translation studios can also be contacted, such as the ones Li Yada found, but it is difficult to guarantee that the translation will be particularly good.
And some really powerful big cows are often not happy to be game translators.
People usually translate some contemporary classics, awesome blockbusters, etc. Translating game texts is relatively dirty work, even if they come to the door, they may not agree.
What's more, how to contact these people is also a big problem.
So Li Yada also knew that there was no rush for this matter, so he could only take it slowly.
However, there has been new progress in the linkage with Ma Yiqun's Dian Dian Chinese website.
A group of horses approached Li Yada before and talked about the linkage between the official novel and the game, and Li Yada readily agreed.
This is a good thing for both parties, and since it is their own property, it is completely a matter of little effort.
When the two of them put together, they quickly came up with a good linkage plan.
Originally, a group of horses wanted to hold a seven-day login event. As long as they did the seven-day event on the website, they could receive a small reward on the game side.
Li Yada thought about it and decided to go one step further and open up the two accounts!
Including the terminal Chinese website, Tenda games, TPDb website, etc., just need a unified Tenda account to log in, isn’t it enough?
In this way, all Tenda game players can directly log in to Dian Dian Chinese website with their own game accounts, and any rewards can be distributed directly according to their accounts.
And it's not a hassle, and it's done in no time.
As for the rewards in the game, Li Yada initially thought of giving some consumable items, such as three souls and seven souls for upgrading, items to strengthen weapons, and so on.
But on second thought, it was a bit too picky.
A stand-alone game with a buyout system, why be so stingy?
Just give it an exclusive look!
But now it's too late to customize a new model, so Li Yada slapped his head and decided to give the player a special prop that can change the character model, directly using a ready-made pill prop icon, the name is "Yi Rongdan", reusable.
This is not difficult to do, just let the program change the code.
Of course, you can't change the model at will. Some monsters or boss models are very large, and some mysterious bugs may be caused after the change, so this prop is limited to only some models that are similar to the protagonist's size, including mobs and NPCs.
At the same time, the use of this prop also has a certain cooling time, and it is an entertainment prop on the whole.
But no matter what, the npcs in the game also have a few young ladies who can still be seen. Although they are not particularly beautiful, they can definitely be called beauties in this world view.
So Li Yada thought about it, this should be quite attractive to players, right?
It was arranged smoothly.
After handing over the work to his subordinates, Li Yada opened TPDb habitually, wanting to see the recent rating changes of "Return to the Shore".
Recently, all employees in Tenda have developed the habit of watching TPDb whenever they have nothing to do. After all, the ratings on this website now directly determine their bonuses for the next month, so it is impossible not to pay attention.
The specific amount of money earned from the game is all fictitious, and they are all earned by the way. If you really want to get a bonus, you have to have a good reputation for the project.
"Huh? 9.1 points!"
Li Yada couldn't help but cheer up, this score is simply crazy!
How did it grow so much without watching it in a day?
After clicking on it, I found out that the media score has finally been refreshed!
A large part of the weight on the TPDb website comes from media ratings, directly grabbing the data of some authoritative game media. The higher the data, the higher the total score of the project will naturally be.
Li Yada scanned the comments of several game media, and found that they all spoke highly of "Return to the Shore".
"After "Game Producer", Tenda Games once again reinterpreted what innovation is with a refreshing classic."
"This fast-rising game company can always bring players a refreshing new experience, and allow players to complete the transition from scolding to applause, from rejection to real fragrance in just a few weeks."
"Tengda Games can always bring excellent large-scale productions, as if the word 'cutting corners' does not exist in their dictionary at all."
"Before this, no designer thought that such a difficult hardcore game could be successful in China, but Tengda obviously did it. "Return to the Shore" made players suffer willingly and enjoy it."
"It is foreseeable that the game's perfect combat system will become the benchmark for some time to come."
"The design of the epitaph is ingenious, and some details in the gameplay can show the inspiration and talent of the designer."
"The difficulty mechanism of this game is also worth learning for all designers."
Similar views are not uncommon on major game review websites and game media.
The statements of these review media are not consistent with the initial evaluation of the players. This is because after more than a week, the players' reputation for the game has undergone a major reversal, and these game review media have all noticed it.
Moreover, these evaluation media will not give low scores because they suffer or fail to pass, they are all professional.
Ordinary players just saw the difficulty of "Return to the Shore" and felt that they were suffering and angry, so they retaliated and scored low. But these game media can see more things:
Excellent game quality;
Excellent combat system;
Excellent world view and style design;
The plot is complex and profound;
Promote Chinese culture to a certain extent;
Innovations in gameplay and systems have pointed out the direction for future action games.
So, taking all these advantages into the game evaluation system, it is not surprising that this game can get high scores!
Among them, what Li Yada is most proud of is the evaluation from the official platform.
""Return to the Shore" depicts a desperate world. This world was born out of traditional Chinese culture, and has been artistically reshaped, giving players a refreshing new experience."
"This is a desperate world where the six realms collapse and the end of the Dharma era is coming. The excellent difficulty setting makes players feel as if they are really in a desperate situation, suffering from death after death; but there are countless hidden in this world. The secret of curiosity makes every player involuntarily resurrect and stand up again, eager to find that sense of mission to save everything!"
"The grand epic, sadistic challenges, rich background stories, and the philosophy contained in the game make "Return to the Shore" an unforgettable adventure!"
"What is especially commendable is that when domestic Chinese-style games are on the decline and all domestic manufacturers are imitating foreign manufacturers in Handan, Tenda Games has embarked on a unique and completely original path."
""Return to the Shore" well integrated traditional culture into the story background, game content and spiritual core, and played a vital role in the spread of traditional culture in the new era."
"I hope that other game manufacturers and designers can also strengthen their ideological construction, learn more, better promote traditional culture, and let the game industry build cultural confidence as soon as possible!"
Of course, as far as the official is concerned, any praise must be expressed.
"Return to the Shore" undoubtedly won a few more recommended positions, which is all expected.
Li Yada couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Boss Pei is Boss Pei, and if he makes a casual move, it's a classic game!
As for the official recommendation... what is it? Mr. Pei has been softened!
Li Yada watched the rhetoric of "Return to the Shore" by these media again, and was very happy.
"Although I took over halfway, I have a part to contribute to the popularity of this game!"
Li Yada was watching when the little girl at the front desk ran over.
"The staff of the official platform called and said that they hoped to talk about the translation of the overseas version."
"Ah? The staff of the official platform?"
Li Yada didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly got up to answer the phone.
There is Tenda's office phone on the official platform, so I called the front desk directly.
Li Yada was still a little excited, after all, this was the first time he had spoken with an official staff member.
After a few words of politeness and pleasantries, the other party quickly got to the point.
"May I ask if you have any intention to produce a multilingual version of "Return to the Shore" and promote it to overseas markets?"
The next chapter comes later. Let me emphasize the group number again, 893157567, if you are bored, you can come in and play
