Hu, a game developed by a Guangzhou-based game development studio,
is based on one of the four great classical novels of Chinese
literature, Outlaws of the Marsh. Through its cartoon graphics and
humorous twists on characters and plots, Da Hua Shui Hu provides an
amusing and entertaining take on the heroic tales from the classic
Chinese novel. Mr. Dewen Chen, Changyou's president and chief
operating officer, commented, "As Changyou's first cartoon-style
turn-based game, Da Hua Shui Hu complements our existing game
offerings and further enriches Changyou's game portfolio. It marks
another step forward in our strategy of focusing on both in-house
developed and licensed games. We expect the game to help expand our
user base with its easy-to-learn community-based game play, popular
storyline and unique features, which innovatively incorporate a
number of today's most popular gaming elements." Da Hua Shui Hu was
successfully licensed in 2009 through Changyou's "Qi Bao" strategic
licensing plan, which aims to discover high-quality online games.
