No idea what this is. Some kind of limited series. The series started out in Japanese but somewhere along the line Chinese took over. Animation by Lighthouse Studios in partnership with Moonton of Mobile Legends fame. Reminds me of the Last Exile. Dystopian with cyberpunk. The last aircraft has a wing configuration reminiscent of a Chinese UAV.

Chinese developers should be paying attention to the wild success of Hollow Knight: Silk Song. The current competition in the Chinese industry over ever higher production qualities and AAA graphics is, IMO, not sustainable. Creative games with deep, addictive gameplay can be just as successful as AAA titles at a fraction of the cost.

Chinese indie games have had a good year on Steam. There's 5 on that list (Escape from Duckov, Sultan's Game, AI Limit, Legend of Heroes Three Kingdoms and Revenge on Gold Diggers)

However, Chinese indie games are mostly single player experiences, while the biggest Steam indies belong in the co-op "friendslop" genre (ex. Schedule I, REPO, Peak, RV There Yet). So instead of focusing on Silksong, there's is good opportunity for Chinese indie devs to go in and out-卷 the mostly Swedish devs doing these friendslop games.

There's more than enough talent, money, and support to do both. It will naturally happen.

We are only seeing so much focus on AAA because the people have been demanding a domestic AAA sector that rivals the west and also due to the recent success of Black Myth Wukong, paving the way for everyone else to join in.

Once China developes it's AAA sector enough, there will be enough talent everywhere that indie games will become a lot more frequent. Expect both AAA. AA. and indie sector to be completely dominated by China within the next decade.

Developed or at least invested in by ByteDance, had previously fallen silent due to the layoffs of ByteDance's gaming department, now appear to be operating again.
