Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd.
Li Yada has just finished communicating with several translation studio staff.
After asking Mr. Pei for instructions, Li Yada has contacted several good domestic translation studios and sent part of the game copy to them for trial translation.
Li Yada specially selected some puzzle elements in the game to see the real level of these translation studios.
In similar side tasks, a poem is often used as a clue to find the corresponding prompt and then trigger the corresponding plot. The translation difficulty is quite high.
On the one hand, the meaning of these verses must be fully translated, without missing some key information, so that foreign players can also solve puzzles based on these contents;
On the other hand, it must be honest and elegant. If such good poems and ancient prose are translated into other languages and become vernacular, it will be meaningless and devoid of beauty.
So, this actually tests the translator’s skills, and most people are really not good at it.
These translation studios have already delivered the content for trial translation, but Li Yada showed these contents to Assistant Xin, but got a negative reply.
The translation is not wrong, but the beauty of the translation is not enough.
Li Yada’s own English level is average, but she can roughly tell the quality of translation.
Not to mention Assistant Xin. He has worked as an assistant to the vice president in a well-known foreign company and is proficient in three languages. It is definitely not that interesting to translate it yourself, but the quality of ready-made translations can still be judged at a glance. See it.
So, Li Yada had simple communication with these studios and asked them to re-translate and improve the posture level. Otherwise, they would unfortunately not be able to cooperate.
After sending these translation studios away, Li Yada couldn't help but sigh, what Mr. Pei said was indeed right.
This matter really cannot be rushed!
The translation work of "Return to the Shore" is much more difficult than other games. If someone asks for speed, it will definitely be translated into a machine translation, and the quality cannot be guaranteed.
If you rush to launch a multi-language version when the time comes, you will destroy your reputation, which is not Tenda’s style at all.
Tengda has always tried its best to make all details the best regardless of investment. This is the core spirit that every Tengda person learned from Mr. Pei.
"Forget it, just listen to Mr. Pei and don't rush in."
Li Yada also tried to find some more powerful experts in the translation circle, but it was difficult for a while. It is difficult to find, mainly because there is no way.
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 people, are often not willing to do game translation.
People usually translate contemporary classics, awesome blockbusters, etc. Translating game texts is relatively dirty work, and even if they come to you, 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 need to rush this matter and could only take his time.
On the contrary, there has been new progress in linking up with the group of horses at the finish line.
Previously, Ma Yiqun came to Li Yada and talked about the linkage between the official 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 easy.
As soon as the two people put their heads together, they quickly came up with a good linkage plan.
Originally, Ma Yiqun wanted to hold a seven-day login event. As long as he did the seven-day event on the website, he could receive a small reward from the game.
Li Yada thought for a while, and simply went one step further and opened up the accounts on both sides!
Including Dingmin, Tenda Games, TPDb website, etc., wouldn’t it be enough to log in with a unified Tenda account?
In this way, all Tenda Game players can directly log in to the endpoint with their own game accounts, and any rewards can be distributed directly according to their accounts.
And it’s not a hassle and can be done quickly.
As for the rewards in the game, Li Yada initially thought of giving some consumable props, such as three souls and seven souls for upgrading, props to strengthen weapons, etc.
But when I thought about it, it was a bit too stingy.
Why is it so stingy for a single-player game with a buyout system?
Just give it an exclusive look!
But now it is too late to customize a new model, so Li Yada slapped his forehead and decided to give the player a special prop that can change the character model. He directly used a ready-made elixir prop icon with the name It's called "Yirong Dan" and can be used repeatedly.
This is not difficult to do, just let the program change the code.
Of course, you cannot change the model at will. Some monsters or boss models are very large, and changing them may cause some mysterious bugs. Therefore, this prop is limited to changing models that are similar to the protagonist. , including mobs and NPCs.
At the same time, the use of this prop also has a certain cooling time. Overall, it is an entertainment prop.
But no matter what, there are some passable NPCs in the game. Although they are not particularly beautiful, they can definitely be regarded as 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 habitually opened TPDb and wanted to read "Return to the Shore"》Recent rating changes.
Recently, all employees within Tenda have developed the habit of reading TPDb whenever they have nothing to do. After all, the score of this website directly determines their bonus next month, so it is impossible not to pay attention.
The exact amount of money earned by the game is all fictitious. It is just a casual income. If you really want to get bonuses, the reputation of the project must explode.
"Huh? It's 9.1 points!"
Li Yada couldn't help but perked up, the score was so high!
Why did it grow so much without even looking at it in one day?
When I clicked it and took a closer look, I discovered that the media rating had finally been refreshed!
A large part of the weight on the TPDb website comes from media ratings, which directly capture data from some authoritative game media. The higher these data, the higher the total score of the project will naturally be.
Li Yada scanned the comments from several game media and found that they all had nothing but praise for "Return to the Shore".
"After "Game Maker", Tenda Games once again reinterpreted what innovation is with a refreshing classic."
"This rapidly rising company Game companies are always able to bring refreshing new experiences to players, and allow players to complete the transformation from scolding to applause, from rejection to love in just a few weeks."
"Tengda Games. They are always able to produce sophisticated and large-scale productions, as if the word 'cutting corners' does not exist in their dictionary at all."
"No designer has ever thought of such a difficult hard-core game before. It can be successful in China, but Tenda has obviously done so. "Return to the Shore" allows players to suffer willingly and enjoy it."
"It is foreseeable that the perfect combat system of this game will be used in the future. Time becomes the benchmark."
"The design of Epitaph is unique, and some of the details of the gameplay can show the designer's inspiration and talent."
"The difficulty mechanism of this game is also unique. It is worth learning from all designers.”
Similar views are common on major game review websites and game media.
The statements of these evaluation media are not consistent with the initial evaluations of players. This is because after more than a week, players’ reputation for the game has experienced a major reversal. These game evaluation media They all saw it.
Furthermore, these evaluation media will not give low scores just because they have suffered and failed. They are all professional.
Ordinary players only see the difficulty of "Return to the Shore", feel that they are suffering and are angry, so they retaliate and give low scores, but these game media can see more:
< p>The game quality is excellent;The combat system is excellent;
The world view and style design are excellent;
The plot is complex and profound;
To a certain extent, it promotes Chinese culture;
Innovation in gameplay and systemIt points the way for future action games.
So, incorporating all these advantages into the game evaluation system, it is not surprising that this game can get high scores!
What makes Li Yada most proud of is the evaluation on 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 Paths have collapsed and the Age of Ending Law has arrived. The excellent difficulty setting makes players feel as if they are really in a desperate situation, suffering from death one after another; but there are hidden hidden meanings in this world. Countless curious secrets make every player involuntarily stand up again after resurrection, eager to find the sense of mission to save everything!"
"Magnificent epic, heart-wrenching challenges, and rich backgrounds! The story and the philosophy contained in the game make "Return to the Shore" an unforgettable adventure! ”
“What is particularly commendable is that in the decline of domestic Chinese-style games, all domestic manufacturers are learning in Handan. While plagiarizing foreign manufacturers, Tenda Games has embarked on a unique and completely original path."
""Return to the Shore" very well integrates traditional culture into the story background, game content and spiritual core. , has played a vital role in the spread of traditional culture in the new era.”
“I hope other game manufacturers and designers can also strengthen their ideological construction, learn more, and better promote traditional culture. , let the game industry build cultural confidence as soon as possible!”
Of course, for the official, any praise must be expressed.
"Return to the Shore" has undoubtedly received several more recommendations, which is all expected.
Li Yada couldn't help but sigh, Mr. Pei is Mr. Pei, he just plays it and it becomes a classic game!
As for the official recommendation...what is that? Mr. Pei has become soft-hearted!
Li Yada read the media's rhetoric about "turning back to shore" again and was very happy.
"Although I took over halfway, I owe a lot 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 hope to discuss the translation of the overseas version."
"Huh? The staff of the official platform?"
p>Li Yada did not dare to neglect and quickly got up to answer the phone.
The official platform has Tenda’s office phone number, so I called the front desk directly.
Li Yada was still a little excited. After all, this was her first time talking to official staff.
After a few polite words and greetings, the other party quickly got down to business.
"Do you have any intention to produce a multi-lingual version of "Back to the Shore" and promote it to overseas markets?”
