3:30:42basically, yes. that is what happened
3:30:44glf branched out from azur land, and arknights branched out from glf
3:30:44They were all university friends
3:30:44GFL was one of the OG gachas pippa
3:30:48They all stem one way or another from MICA team
3:30:49What was the question to the lore check
3:30:49arknights is also just a gfl spin-off
3:30:49God that Discord chat is probably amazing
3:30:49yostar was supposed to be gfl's publisher lmao
3:30:50They were all part of the same art circles and university clubs so yes
3:30:51Yudzong and Yostar CEO worked on earlier GFL versions. They were buddies in the university. Btw, Lowlight, father of Arknights also woekred on earlier GFL
3:30:51They were close back in the day
3:30:52MICA is the great grandpappy of the CN gacha sphere
3:30:55it was mentioned that all these different gacha games were branches from the same tree
3:30:56Yao Meng is the founder of Yostar not Azur Lane
3:30:58GFL has deep roots with gacha
3:30:59they were all buddies in college
3:31:01mica is literally the root of the chinese mobage industry
