Man: Sam, the gaming thing.

I just watched the entire Tomorrow’s Ark 2025 Spring Festival offline, and this time last year, I wrote the same sentence at the beginning of this article.

Compared to the excitement and freshness of my first offline viewing, this time around, the event was a bit more intimate with the regular gatherings of fellow moviegoers that I’ve come to see. Before it was time to enter the venue, players waiting in the lobby were eager to start interacting with each other, exchanging their own materials in the material exchange area, or taking photos and leaving messages on the autograph wall, the atmosphere was joyful and cordial.

Signature Wall

Hall 1 of Shanghai Cinema, with a capacity of 1,000 people, was still full, and anticipation filled the air. Two and a half hours passed, and at the end of the program, everyone sang damedane again to express their reluctance to give up, and made a promise to see you next year with the unforgettable night belonging to Ark players themselves.

Seriously, as long as you have experienced this kind of atmosphere, you will find that the game of the Spring Festival will become how special From the exchange of works within a small circle of self-indulgence, to the form of arrangement Production specifications gradually professionalized, and even from online to offline!

For players, this event has become a celebration that they look forward to and participate in every year, and it is also an excellent stage for them to show the atmosphere of the circle and even the content strength of the game itself together with the officials.

The more and more lively Binary Spring Festival Gala

Although there’s still some time left before Chinese New Year, the past few days have been filled with a number of Chinese New Year events, including Back to the Future 1999 Princess Connections and Deep Space, which have been broadcast one after the other, making it a bit hard to watch. With a long line of programs, even those who don’t usually pay much attention to bishounen content can easily feel the buzz of the approaching New Year’s Eve.

The New Year’s Eve parties are taking turns

In terms of lineups and types of programs, this year’s Spring Festival will also see a number of noteworthy trends.

For one thing, it has become more formalized, with some of the Spring Festival events being supported by the game’s officials themselves. For example, the first one to air, the Naruto Spring Festival, was released directly from the official account Naruto Pioneer Convention and the WoW channel, a creative organization for people who work with the game. In addition, Producer Solon Li Songlun also made a personal appearance at the end of the program to send thanks and New Year wishes to players on behalf of the project team.

Meanwhile, as the debut of Mingshao at the Spring Festival, the quality and pace of the program was more mature than I expected. Themed around the new area of Renaissance Tower, which was opened in Version 20, players created 28 pieces of cosplay and animation using handwritten scripts and other forms of animation, which is nearly two hours long, and is a great deal of work.

My personal favorite is Naruto Storm’s Blossom of Fortune.

Secondly, there were many new faces at this year’s event. In addition to Naruto, other new products from the second game, including New Moon Companions, Sailor Moon, and the recently launched Pokémon Rally, all had their first Spring Festival Party, making the atmosphere of the Binary Spring Festival Party even stronger.

Of course, nowadays the Spring Festival Party is not exclusive to the second generation. In the list of programs, like the Delta action Three Kingdoms seek to determine the world and other popular new products outside the second tour also has a place. DNF players even for the end game hand tour version to play two jobs, created two versions of the Spring Festival will be the film, so that many people in the comment area sighed Our DNF two creativity is also good up.

On the other hand, the circle of IP popularity, most of this year also continue to maintain the quality of the number of double pull full program output.

Take my own offline viewing of the Tomorrow’s Ark Spring Festival, before the show began, the scene was already set up to make people feel that all the effort Shanghai Studio’s canopy in the form of film scrolling display of the previous Spring Festival single program, the theater hit the Rhode Island Bunny Bunny Theatre light projection All the audience will also be given a souvenir of the material, as well as this year’s Spring Festival of the paper program list.

When it came to the main event, I was hard pressed to find a word to describe what I saw during the two and a half hours, other than “hyperbole”. In terms of form, I can count handwritten animation, cosplay, song music videos, comedy, special effects, and short films, but in terms of quality, works such as the Akiba Kappaiga, Priestress and other works, both in terms of subplotting, drawing, and narration, brought gasps of amazement from the audience. Another example is the pixel-inspired Jet Lag Migration, which, if it hadn’t appeared at the New Year’s Fair as a second creation, you’d have thought it was a pixel-inspired game of some sort.

This year, Eagle Point’s official animated short film is centered around the theme of cooking, with the soon-to-be-released Yu as the protagonist.

And that’s just one of them. In fact, in addition to this Jin Banquet Huanchun time aside, this year tomorrow’s ark players have also organized themselves to produce a full four different themes of the new year will, including the new year of Chinese New Year Celebration Snake New Year Gift meme Spring Festival, and even to the eagle’s corner of the game to do a joint spring festival.

Among them, the already aired Star Spring Festival also has a volume of 22 individual programs, as well as nearly an hour and a half in total length. In this year a bunch of new spring meeting inside, tomorrow ark two creation production is almost break leading style more, circle player activity is high visible.

In addition to the Avalanche Star Dome Railroad, this year’s Mihayou products, including the original God of the Absolute Zero undefined event book and other IPs this time directly chose to perform on the same stage, merged into a Mihayou New Year’s Eve. The program will also include multiple IP tie-in works, which will allow MiHYU fans and players to experience the feeling of ecstasy in multiple kitchens.

Interestingly, this year’s event has begun to show the momentum of breaking the circle of each other. When there are more players playing several second games at the same time, the New Year’s party will gradually change from each person’s own New Year’s Eve to a time when everyone will walk around to see other familiar faces after eating at their own table.

In fact, this is also the reason why the Spring Festival has become more and more prosperous in the past few years. The second creation program, which is created by a collection of gamers’ kitchen power, is becoming a hot window for game works to be seen by a wider range of people.

When Spring Festival has become the standard

The significance of the ecology of Erchuang for maintaining community activity and opening up the general user circle has long been a cliché. However, as a product of homoeroticism, Erchuang itself has its own special attribute of being unofficial and based on emotional drive. This means that even if the official has strong enough money, may not be able to persuade players to pick up the pen in hand every time. What’s more, the false prosperity smashed out by money can’t be sustained, and it’s even more impossible to talk about building a real ecology.

So in the past two years, you can find various manufacturers in order to drive the atmosphere of the second creation, but also each made more different forms of attempts.

For example, nowadays, second-tour products will often create a publishing platform that can serve homoerotic works in addition to the main account. For example, Deep Blue’s Boom Boom Projector 1999 and BioHai Entertainment’s Crescent Peer Colleague Line will release official content while frequently flipping players’ second-generation works, thus giving second-generation creators a sense of achievement of being recognized by the official authorities as well as the motivation to create for a long period of time.

As for Kulo’s Naruto Pioneer Convention, it even started to display character drawings created by players half a year before the launch of the game, in order to cultivate as early as possible the heat of second creation in the circle and retain the first batch of fellow authors and core players.

Mihayou, on the other hand, has never been shy about making the scene of player participation bigger In September last year, they once again invested more than 1.5 million yuan in prize money for the Avalanche Star Dome Railway to hold a high-specification second creation competition, Star Dome Summer Celebration, and initiated a player vote, which is a kind of performance that speaks with strength.

Of course, there are some special beings, such as Eagle’s Corner, who choose to minimize their presence in various second creation projects to ensure the purity of the player-driven program. But at the same time, they will also provide long-term support for creators in various ways, whether it is emotional links or publicity support, such as the establishment of the creator community Terra Exploration Association Regularly held offline exchanges Tea Party in the official live broadcast to help publicize the second project, and even to the live broadcast room as a big brother of the list, and the players together for the program call, etc., always maintain a close relationship of trust with the creators.

Tomorrow’s Ark 24 years of official Spring Festival live broadcast, the same year the Spring Festival will also be publicized!

So, what does this litany have to do with the New Year’s meeting?

A while ago when browsing the forum, I once saw such a paragraph analogy Chinese New Year meeting is like the art festival held in the school, the principal is only responsible for the money, the effect of the program is good all depends on your class in the head of the gods they show their talent. Come to think of it, this saying is really quite reasonable.

On the one hand, it can give fellow authors a chance to get on the big stage, and at certain points, players will also spontaneously look forward to what new work the UP masters they follow have done. When all the people get together regularly, tacitly agree to watch the creation of the New Year’s meeting as a circle habit, the significance of the New Year’s meeting is not only to add a little taste of the New Year, but really like a festival, it becomes an important source of players to maintain together, providing identity and sense of belonging.

In addition, these annual programs are not only seen by active players or students. Many players, even if they don’t play a lot of games, still enjoy watching the second creations of their favorite characters. A New Year’s Eve party with overflowing kitchen power, whether it’s a live broadcast of the main movie, or a large number of second creation pitches released in the form of single productions in the following days, still has the opportunity to mobilize the emotional memories of these players, and keep everyone paying attention to the game with a certain amount of emotional links. At the same time, the single product pitch may also trigger the curiosity of the audience outside the circle, so that the New Year’s Eve meeting will once again ferment along with the game’s popularity.

From the manufacturer’s perspective, in addition to helping players build a stage to express their love, if the circle can successfully produce a high-quality Spring Festival party, it can largely help players build confidence in the game’s long-term development. As players in the comment section jokingly said, can still hold the New Year’s party, shows that the game is still living quite well.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand why the Spring Festival has become a standard feature that both players and game makers are paying more and more attention to.

A new standard to test the strength of the second game?

As a matter of fact, due to the increasing number of games organized for the Spring Festival, this second-generation project, which used to be played by each circle, has now become more or less a horizontal competition. Gamers hope that not only do they want to have their own games, but also that the quantity and quality of their games will not fall too far behind. Manufacturers are also generally willing to contribute money and effort to help second-generation creators, so that they can have an ideal environment to produce excellent works.

However, to put it bluntly, second creators are the result, not the cause. The soil for its existence not only consists of the players’ simple love for the game, but also depends on the manufacturers’ game works themselves, and whether they can inspire the second creators and their desire to create.

Let’s take Ark of Tomorrow as an example. In the past six months alone, the Ark community has seen a number of million clicks on the second creation of the work, UP master sss skillful spit contributing Who else wants to tell a story? The amount of playback is as high as 13 million, and the degree of heat is so high that it doesn’t look like a product that has been on line for more than five years. Every time you open the video densely packed pop-ups floated by, perhaps it is the best reflection of the player’s contribution to the community viscosity of the second creation.

But at the same time, these second creations aren’t just an occasional event that’s as hard to replicate as a two-sided cheese sandwich. A look back at the past year of Tomorrow’s Ark reveals that the game’s many critically acclaimed releases have already provided a wealth of material for player-created creations. This, coupled with a long history of encouraging creativity and a community atmosphere that embraces creativity, is directly reflected in this year’s five-channel Spring Festival event.

It is naturally a good thing when more manufacturers see the demand of players and the importance of the second creation ecosystem, and are willing to seriously support the Spring Festival. However, in order to obtain positive feedback from the second creation ecosystem, what is needed behind the scenes is not only resource input, publicity efforts, and even the grabbing of space for head creators and exposure. In order to make players willing to actively express their emotions through their creations, the official government, in addition to providing feedback and encouragement for creations, first has to first become the object of love for the players.

In other words, the ability to organize a good New Year’s party with players may have become another new dimension for second-tier game makers to test their long-term operational strength.
