Li Yada just finished communicating with several translation studio staff.
After asking Mr. Pei for instructions, Li Yada has contacted several good translation studios in China, and sent some copy of the game to them for trial translation.
Li Yada deliberately selected some puzzle-solving elements in the game, and wanted to see how the real level of these translation studios was.
In similar side missions, a poem is often used as a clue to find the corresponding prompt, and then trigger the corresponding plot, which is quite difficult to translate.
On the one hand, the meaning of these verses must be completely translated, and some key information is not missed, so that foreign players can also solve the puzzle based on these contents;
On the other hand, one has to be sincere and elegant. If such a good ancient poem is translated into other languages and turned into vernacular, it will be boring and unbeautiful.
Therefore, this is actually a very test of the translator's skills, and most people really can't.
These translation studios have already delivered the content of the trial translation, but Li Yada showed the content to Assistant Xin for a look, but all received negative answers.
The translation is not wrong, but the beauty of the translation is not enough.
Li Yada's own level of English 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 in a well-known foreign company and is proficient in three languages. It must be a little bit meaningless to translate it in person, but the quality of the ready-made translation can still be seen at a glance.
Therefore, Li Yada had a simple communication with these studios and asked them to re-translate it to improve the level of posture, otherwise it would be a pity that they would not be able to cooperate.
After dismissing these translation studios, Li Yada couldn't help but sigh, what President Pei said was right.
It really can't be rushed!
Compared with other games, the translation work of "Going Back to the Shore" is much more difficult. If one is quick, it will definitely be translated by machine, and the quality cannot be guaranteed.
At that time, rushing to launch a multi-language version will be self-destructing word of mouth, and it is not Tenda's style at all.
Tengda has always done everything possible to make every detail the best regardless of investment. This is the core spirit that every Tengda person has learned from President Pei.
"Forget it, listen to President Pei and don't rush in."
Li Yada also tried to find some of the more powerful experts in the translation circle, but it was difficult to find them for a while, mainly because there was no such way.
There are some full-time translators on the official resource station, and some translation studios can also be contacted, such as the ones that 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 willing to do game translation.
People usually read some contemporary famous novels, awesome blockbusters and the like. Translating game texts is relatively dirty work. Even if they come to the door, they may not agree to it.
What's more, how to contact these people is also a big problem.
So Li Yada also knew that there was no hurry, so he could only take it slowly.
On the contrary, the linkage with the end of the horse group has made new progress.
Before Ma Yiqun found Li Yada and talked about the official and game linkage, Li Yada readily agreed.
This is a good thing for both parties, and since it is their own industry, it is a complete effort.
As soon as the two of them combined, they quickly came up with a good linkage plan.
Originally, a group of horses wanted to organize 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 for a while, then just went a step further and opened up the accounts on both sides!
Including the end point, Tenda games, tpdb website, etc., just need a unified Tenda account to log in, right
In this way, all Tenda game players can log in to the destination directly with their game accounts, and any rewards can be distributed directly according to their accounts.
And it's not a hassle, it's done in no time.
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, and so on.
But on second thought, it was a bit too sloppy.
A single-player game with a buyout system, why is it so stingy
Just give it an exclusive look!
But now it's 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, and directly use a ready-made icon of a pill prop, the name is "Yi Rong Dan", reusable.
This is not difficult to do, just let the program change the code.
Of course, you can't change the model at will. The model of some monsters or bosses is very large, and some mysterious bugs may be caused after the change, so this item is limited to only change some models that are similar to the protagonist's size, including mobs and NPCs.
At the same time, the use of this item also has a certain cooling time, and it is an entertainment item as a whole.
But in any case, there are also some NPCs in the game who can still see the past. Although they are not particularly beautiful, they can definitely be called beautiful women in this worldview.
So Li Yada thought about it, this should be quite attractive to players, right
Arranged easily.
After handing over the work to his subordinates, Li Yada habitually opened tpdb and wanted to see the recent changes in the ratings of "Back to the Shore".
Recently, all employees in Tenda have developed the habit of watching tpdb when 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 false.
"Huh? 9.1 points!"
Li Yada couldn't help but feel refreshed, this rating was a hurricane!
How did it grow so much without looking at it in one day
After a closer look, I found out that the media rating has finally been refreshed!
A large part of the weight on the tpdb website comes from the media score, which directly captures the data of some authoritative game media. The higher the data, the higher the total score of the project.
Li Yada swept through the comments of several game media and found that they all praised "Back 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 and new experience, and in just a few weeks, players can complete the transformation from scolding to applauding, from rejection to true fragrance."
"Tengda Games always brings great productions, as if the word 'cutting corners' doesn't exist in their dictionary at all."
"Before this, no designer thought that such a difficult hardcore game could be successful in China, but Tenda obviously did it. "Going Back to the Shore" made players suffer willingly and enjoy it."
"It is foreseeable that the perfect combat system of this game will become a benchmark for some time to come."
"The design of the epitaph is ingenious, and some details of the gameplay can show the inspiration and talent of the designer."
"The difficulty mechanics of this game are also worth learning by all designers."
Similar views are common on major game review websites and game media.
The comments of these evaluation 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 evaluation media have all seen it.
Moreover, these evaluation media will not give low scores because they suffer and cannot beat them, they are all professional.
Ordinary players just see the difficulty of "Going Back to the Shore", and feel that they are suffering and angry and give low scores in revenge, but these game media can see more things:
The game quality is excellent;
Excellent combat system;
Excellent world view and style design;
The plot is complex and profound;
To a certain extent, it promotes Chinese culture;
Innovations in gameplay and systems point the way for future action games.
So, with all these advantages incorporated into the game evaluation system, it is not surprising that this game can get a high score!
And what Li Yada is most proud of is the evaluation of the official platform.
"Returning to the Shore" depicts a hopeless world, which was born out of traditional Chinese culture and has been reshaped artistically, giving players a refreshing and new feeling."
"This is a desperate world where the Six Paths are broken and the Age of Doom is coming. The excellent difficulty setting makes players feel like they are really in a desperate situation, suffering from death again and again; but there are countless people hidden in this world. The curious secret makes every player involuntarily resurrect and stand up again, eager to find that sense of mission to save everything!"
"The epic epic, abusive challenges, a rich background story, and the philosophy contained in the game make "Back to the Shore" an unforgettable adventure!"
"It is especially commendable that when the domestic Huaxia-style games were on the decline and all domestic manufacturers were copying foreign manufacturers in Handan, Tenda Games embarked on a completely unique and completely original road."
"Returning to the Shore" well integrates traditional culture into the story background, game content and spiritual core, which plays a crucial 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 a lot, and better promote traditional culture, so that the game industry can build cultural confidence as soon as possible!"
Of course, for the official, any praise must be expressed.
"Back to the Shore" undoubtedly got a few more recommended spots, which is all to be expected.
Li Yada couldn't help but sigh, Mr. Pei is Mr. Pei, and any casual shot is a classic game!
As for the official recommendation... what is that? President Pei has softened his hand!
Li Yada read the rhetoric of these media's "Going Back to the Shore" again, and was very happy.
"Although I took over it halfway, it's my credit for the game's popularity!"
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? Official platform staff?"
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 to the official staff.
After a few courtesies and greetings, the other party quickly entered the topic.
"Excuse me, do you have any intention to release a multilingual version of "Back to the Shore" and promote it to overseas markets?"
