There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning Chapter 447

  Chapter 447 Best Children's Day Gift

   It's no surprise that players actually look forward to Dark Souls and find the game joyful.

   After all, in such a short two months, I played two first-party masterpieces of all ages from Linmu Studio.

  The quality of these masterpieces is really not bad.

   Not only is it not bad.

   is also very good.

   But such a game is just a foreshadowing!

   Players are not fools, they are experienced in many battles.

  Of course it can be seen, which is the finale work of Linmu Studio in the first half of the year...it must be "Dark Soul"!

   And now that the finale work has not been released yet, a name has been revealed, and the two games that have been prepared are so excellent.

  How excellent the finale work should be!

   Players must be looking forward to it.

  As for why I feel happy, it is also very simple.

  Since the launch of switch, Linmu Studio has focused on the console.

  Most of the games launched during the period are games that are suitable for all ages and can be enjoyed by all players.

  You said that the painting style of "Dark Soul" is completely different?

  The painting styles of "The Legend of Zelda" and "Mario Kart" are not the same.

  Although it can be seen that they are all cartoon renderings, they are indeed different.

  In addition, Uncle Lin has been breaking the news that "Dark Soul" is to compensate PC players. It is a spiritual sequel to The Legend of Zelda, which makes players have preconceived ideas.

  It is normal for players to have some associations.

   Most players really agree with this.

  Below the emotional post, many players agree...

   "Indeed, two consecutive works have been so excellent in two months. I don't even dare to think about what the finale "Dark Soul" will be. I'm really looking forward to it."

"The most important thing is that this game is finally not exclusive...PC players can also experience the game that Linmu Studio is proud of on the console side. Although they can understand the particularity of the console, it is necessary to be exclusive, but they have been greedy for a long time. what."

   "It should be coming soon. According to the habits of Linmu Studio, since it has started, it is definitely not going to let the player's wallet go in the first half of the year!"

""ARMS" is really interesting. I played with my wife all afternoon, and after venting my feelings, my relationship immediately improved a lot. My wife usually doesn't play games at all, but after playing the games of Linmu Studio, she asked if there is any more. Similar games... so I tried Mario Kart for her again, guess what? I lost the switch... Wood Studios really never disappoints, if "Dark Soul" is fun by then If so, I will also recommend it to my wife!"

   "No, upstairs, the name of the game "Dark Soul" doesn't look like a family carnival, does it? The words "dark" and "soul" seem to have a dark feeling in the story no matter how you look at it..."

   "The word "ARMS" still means a weapon, a weapon... Is it unreliable to judge from the name?"

   "There's no need to discuss it. We'll know when Linmu Studio announces that we've played it, or...@林叔别别, come out and speak!"

  The last player is just holding the form of trying, Aite's Uncle Lin.

   But he didn't expect it.

  This Uncle Lin is watching the screen.

   So soon.

  Uncle Lin ran out and posted a new post.

"I can only say that the possibility of a family carnival is really small. After all, the game is also available on PC... As I said before, I am more inclined. Lin Yao wants to tell a more adult hero story than "The Legend of Zelda" …

   Yes, the story of Link recalling the past, liberating the four great beasts, meeting old friends from the past, and defeating the devil together is very kingly. Every time after the story of the beast, when I see Link's former friend driving the beast to a high place, and then aiming at the king's city, I can't wait to draw my sword and go to the devil to save the princess (although this kind of thinking lasts for a short time, it will soon disappear. will disappear, after all, saving the princess is really not as fun as fishing).

   But in this world, there are not only kingly stories. In fact, players who have played Zelda know that this game is really like a fairy tale.

  Linmu Studio, Lin Yao definitely doesn't want to stop here, they have made traditional masterpieces before, and they definitely want to tell a more epic adventure story... and "Dark Soul" is that game. It might look different from The Legend of Zelda, but trust me! "Dark Soul" will definitely let PC players who haven't experienced "The Legend of Zelda" experience the same fun, touch, joy and satisfaction as "The Legend of Zelda"!

  Trust Linmu Studio!

   In addition, the outsourcing work actually ended two weeks ago. This time there is not much outsourcing work. I heard that Lin Yao drew a lot of materials by herself, so...you know, look forward to it! "

  Uncle Lin.

   Or as soon as Wang Ang's post comes out.

  The number of replies began to soar...

  Players just gave a rainbow fart under the post, what is Uncle Lin awesome, Uncle Lin is right...

  Because what he said... really makes sense!

  The thinking is clear and well-founded.

   So soon.

  This post has become the most authoritative explanation in the minds of players...

   "Dark Soul" is a more adult epic adventure, and another "Legend of Zelda" with a realistic style is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people...

at the same time.

  Wang Ang sat at his desk, looked at the rainbow fart under the post, and smiled very satisfied.

   Then, he looked left and right, and carefully took out the switch in his bag.

  During this period, he bought both of the two games released by Linmu Studio.

  Very satisfied.

   Really fun!

   These foreshadowing works are all like this!

   Really looking forward to "Dark Soul".

  Wang Ang was thinking, while quickly pressing three buttons to unlock the switch host.

at the same time.

  Linmu Studio.

   "Can you stop talking about Zelda..."

  Lin Yao sat on a chair, lowered her head in frustration, her white forehead rested on the table, her voice was weak...

  She was speechless.

  And on the screen in front of her, the forum page is being displayed...

   She also saw the post.

   "But I have to say, the current situation has become interesting, isn't it? By the way, who is this Uncle Lin? I want to get to know..."

  Zhong Xiu stood behind Lin Yao, looking at the screen as well, and couldn't help laughing.

  During this period of time, he was busy with the mobile terminalization of the 'open hack' software, and he paid less attention to news about games.

   And after he learned about this god-man "Uncle Lin", he thought the same as Chen Qiuwen, and was also very interested in the identity of this Uncle Lin, and wanted to get to know him...

   "God knows!"

  Lin Yao raised her head, breathed a sigh of relief, pulled herself together, and replied angrily.

   Then, she glanced at the post, thought about it, and logged in to her private account.

  She organized her wording, then gritted her teeth and simply posted a post.

  【I am also Uncle Party! I got top secret information! The new game of Linmu Studio this time is very difficult! As for how difficult it is... let's just say that the map is full of people from The Legend of Zelda! 】

  Click to send!

   And probably the word uncle party is very attractive.

soon.

   The first reply appears.

   "You really know how to joke."

  Lin Yao: "..."

  First reply.

   is a joke...

In "The Legend of Zelda", there is a creature that is half-human and half-horse. Walk.

  Lin Yao said that the map of Dark Souls is full of people and horses, which can be said to be very appropriate.

   But it's clear the players don't believe...

  Zhong Xiu stood behind Lin Yao, and of course saw the process of Lin Yao posting the post and the players' replies.

  He couldn't hold back anymore...

  The owner of Linmu Studio personally acted as an uncle party, and was told it was a joke...hahahaha.

   "What are you laughing at, have you done something?"

  Lin Yao noticed it, turned her head suddenly, and glared at Zhong Xiu angrily.

   "Yes, yes, yes."

  Zhong Xiu held back his laughter, fearing that he would really be punished, so he turned around and ran away.

  I can't even take care of the things I want to report.

  Lin Yao saw Zhong Xiu run away, took a deep breath, turned around again, and looked at the screen.

   Then watch and watch.

  She laughed herself...

   Tell the truth.

  The current situation has deviated from her imagination...

   Originally, her idea was that "Dark Soul" is a new IP. It is not amazing at first glance, and its influence is estimated to be mediocre. In the end, it still depends on the quality of the game itself to attract players.

   After entering the game, the player may curse because of the difficulty, causing some disturbances, but in the end, the player will experience the fun of the soul game while cursing...

finally.

   The game is a success.

but now.

  "Dark Soul" hasn't been announced yet, and even the promotional video hasn't been released... Players started to make up their minds, because of Uncle Lin, it was directly bound to "The Legend of Zelda".

   Before the game was released, the players' expectations were extremely high...

  And the players also preset the gameplay of the game.

At once…

  Lin Yao can't even think about it now, the expressions on the faces of players when they see big butts with a broken sword, and then feel the ubiquitous malice in the game.

  Predictions are all messed up...

But on the other hand, Lin Yao also has to admit that this has brought huge popularity to the game... and no matter what the game is, whether the soul game can be accepted by the players in this world in the end, it is estimated that this incident will work for Lin Mu Room brings huge flow.

  After the game is released, related topics will directly sweep the entire game circle, maybe...

  If Lin Yao really cooperates with this 'Uncle Lin'.

certainly.

  In the end, this 'Uncle Lin' might also be beaten to death...

   Moreover, as Zhong Xiu said, the current situation is indeed getting more and more interesting...

"never mind…"

  Lin Yao shook her head slightly with a smile, and finally decided to forget it.

  Since things have evolved to this situation.

   Might as well let go of yourself completely...

  Since the player thinks that she really likes to joke, Lin Yao will stop joking...

   May 20th.

  The sales of "ARMS" also officially exceeded two million sets.

Now.

  Switch host, all the first-party masterpieces of Linmu Studio, have sold more than two million sets.

  This result is really breath-taking...

  And the installed capacity of Switch has climbed from more than 4 million in the first month to 9.5 million due to the successive release of new games! It's almost ten million.

  Five months.

   Faster than 10 million!

  This result has made the current three mainframe manufacturers smash their tongues.

   Then I couldn't help sighing, it's a good thing that Linmu Studio doesn't make traditional consoles... It's a good thing their games are very different from traditional masterpieces.

   But while breathing a sigh of relief, they also have to admit that even Peria has to admit that the switch of Linmu Studio has completely gained a foothold, and Linmu Studio has now completely entered the console circle and become one of the four major console manufacturers.

  And Linmu Studio's successful entry into the mainframe circle, the impact on the market is actually quite large.

  The most direct impact is of course sales.

  Limwood Studio's console is cheaper, and Forestwood Studio's first-party masterpieces are released quickly, which has caused many players to change the focus of choosing a console.

   With two thousand dollars spent, it becomes a bit difficult for players to get two traditional hosts as before.

  After all, the player's money is not blown by the wind.

  Now there are three traditional host manufacturers.

  Player choices are many.

  Among them, there is also a spoiler Reflecta, which makes the fighting in the market more serious.

  Another mainframe war that Lin Yao expected at the beginning has already begun.

  The three major traditional console manufacturers have been vying for third-party games during this period of time, sparing no effort, and the higher the exclusive fee is, the higher it is...

   It's even a bit price-gouging.

  Many traditional console players have already felt the atmosphere of storms coming.

compare to.

  Linmu Studio, Switch players are much calmer, and they don't feel the slightest wind and rain at all...

  Linmu Studio's first-party masterpieces are steadily released one after another... When you get tired of the masterpieces, there are also independent games carefully selected by Linmu Studio as a substitute.

   It was very comfortable.

  The current switch players are looking forward to when Linmu Studio will announce "Dark Soul".

   Even many overseas players have heard that "Dark Soul" is the spiritual sequel to "The Legend of Zelda".

no way.

  Linmu Studio is now a host manufacturer. If overseas players want to know first-hand information, they will of course choose to come to domestic forums.

   And they were led astray after such a stroll.

  Now overseas players also want to play the spiritual sequel "Dark Soul" of "The Legend of Zelda"...

   And Lin Yao didn't care.

  Since she decided to let it fly once, she didn't bother to explain, anyway, the official didn't say anything, so it's none of her business for players to make up their minds!

but.

   Rumors don't matter.

  But there is one thing Lin Yao cares about...

   That is, the system task has not been prompted to complete.

  After receiving the reward of the 'Completion Mechanism' last year, she also got a new small goal, which is - [Successfully released a host, and the sales volume exceeded 5 million].

  But now the console sales are almost over 10 million, and the task has not been completed yet. Lin Yao guesses it is the same as before. The 5 million should only refer to domestic sales...

  She cared a little, but not too much.

   Just keep this thing in mind.

  With the release of "ARMS", her work focus has all shifted to the production of "Dark Soul".

  The current production progress is 95% complete.

  Lin Yao is already preparing to release a promotional video to warm up, and is considering whether to start the demo...

   And the other side.

  The other three host manufacturers are also very concerned about the double-device login of "Dark Soul". This kind of first-party masterpiece of the host side is not exclusive, which is indeed beyond their expectations.

   "Will this affect us?"

  Peria headquarters, Deputy Chief He frowned and looked at the new head of the marketing department.

  He haggarded a lot, because their handheld brand under Peria, because of Linmu Studio, was half buried in the ground...

  He can't change it.

It's not that he didn't want to imitate Linmu Studio to make a handheld machine like Switch, but the function of a handheld like Linmu Studio is really too weak. Linmu Studio can do it because they are like taking medicine , can frequently launch first-party masterpieces.

   But not Peria.

   "It shouldn't have much impact. The Vaporwave game platform of Linmu Studio is as important to them as the console, and they will definitely not give up. So this time their game double-device login is just a routine practice."

The new person in charge of the marketing department has been very careful during this time because of the lessons learned by his predecessor. Of course, this meeting is the same. It is possible to attract some traditional console players, but I think this possibility is very small. Although their game is in a realistic style this time, the function and expressiveness of the switch should not be very good. Players choose it because of a game. The possibility of switching is not high."

"…Um."

   Hearing the words, deputy officer He pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly in agreement, but his heart was still a little heavy.

   This period of time.

  The competition in the host market is really getting fiercer.

  The only thing he is thankful for now is that the host of Linmu Studio is not a traditional host. If the traditional host releases games like this, he really can't teach him.

   This can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

   Time passed day by day.

   came to June 1st.

  Children's Day.

  The sales of the first-party masterpieces "Pokémon Legend: Arceus" and "ARMS" released by Linmu Studio during this period are still rising, but the popularity has stabilized.

   It is also on this day.

   Just when many players joked that they would buy a Switch as a gift for Children's Day.

  Linmu Studio released the first solo promotional video of "Dark Soul"!

   There is no trace of preparation.

   Here it comes.

soon.

   Forum.

  Some players reprinted the first promotional video of "Dark Soul".

  The post was also quickly pushed up, followed by words such as 'hot' and 'hot'.

  Finally, the forum management simply pinned the post to the top.

  All players, once they entered the forum, they knew that the promotional video of "Dark Soul" was released.

  They couldn't wait to go in.

  Wang Ang was one of them. He opened the playback window, took a deep breath, and played it expectantly.

   Video progress bar starts moving...

   The mist rolled.

  Grey and barren, only towering tree trunks, gray rocks, other than that, nothing else appears on the screen.

  The narration sounded.

  The deep and slightly trembling elderly female voice is like a low voice, telling the story of the ancient times of this world.

   "In ancient times..."

   "The world is not yet divided, shrouded in thick fog."

   "Grey rocks, towering trees, and immortal dragons everywhere."

  The camera moves slowly.

   Give to the top.

  A giant dragon occupies the entire screen. It looks forward like a sculpture. With its huge body and dark environment, it is full of pressure.

   "But one day...the first fire was lit."

   "All differences, thus resulting in..."

  The camera moved slowly, passing through the fog, and came to the root of a huge old tree, and then the camera followed the tree hole at the root of the ancient tree and crashed into the ground.

   In total darkness.

  The orange-red sparks drifted away, bringing a ray of light...

   "Hot and cold."

   "Life and Death."

"Light and darkness."

  The camera goes all the way down.

   Mars appears more and more frequently.

   Finally, I came to a dark cave.

not far away.

  The raging fire was burning, illuminating the cave, accompanied by heat waves.

   Several human-shaped black figures staggered to their feet on the ground in front of the fire, looking at the fire longingly.

"Then."

   "Several species born from the darkness were lured by the flames, and found the king's soul around the fire."

   "The First Dead, Nite."

  A monster made of human bones, like a pile of corpses, slowly stretched out its skeleton arms.

  The flames jumped in the palm of the skeleton, reflecting the front of the monster.

   "The Witch of Izaris and the Daughter of Chaos."

  A magician with a hood, but judging from his facial features, he raised his dirty hands and cupped them in front of his chest like a flame in front of him.

  The camera slowly zoomed out, and around her, there were many witches in the same costumes, who raised their hands and held up the flames.

   "Gwen, the Sun King, and his knights."

  A tall old man with white hair and beard wearing a crown, holding the hilt of a sword with both hands upside down, and a raging fire is burning wantonly in front of her.

  Behind him, the luster of the knight's armor loomed.

   "And, dwarves that no one has seen."

  Finally, a vaguely invisible black figure knelt beside the fire, holding the flame in his hand, and slowly stood up.

   is like a treasure.

   "They gained the power of the king and challenged the ancient dragon."

   "Gwen's thunder pierced through the rock-like scales."

   "The witch's fire formed a storm."

   "Nite liberated the miasma of death."

   "And the scaleless white dragon Hiss betrayed the ancient dragon, causing the ancient dragon to retreat."

  Screen switching.

  Gwen, the Witch, and Nite appeared on the scene in turn, releasing their divine power, bringing changes to this otherwise unchanging world, and challenging the original ruler of the world, the ancient dragon.

   And at the end of the screen,

  An ancient white dragon stood on a mountain made of dragon carcasses, roaring towards the sky.

   With a growl.

  Bai Mang flashed.

  The tense and exciting music suddenly changed.

  "The age of fire begins here."

  The camera breaks through the clouds and fog, and the world is no longer gray. A huge city-state built on the mountainside appears in the center of the screen, bathed in sunlight, announcing the arrival of a new era.

   "But the fire will eventually go out, and then there will be only darkness."

   "Now, the fire is about to go out."

   "The light cannot shine on the world, and the night continues endlessly."

   "And the cursed ring of darkness began to appear among the crowd..."

   Unnamed graveyard.

  A pair of white hands stretched out, as if wanting to grab hold, and gently held the sparks flying in mid-air.

  The camera zooms out.

  It was a woman with frosty white hair. She knelt on the ground, holding the floating sparks, put her hands on her chest, lowered her head, and prayed for the corpse lying on the ground.

  The corpse of the knight in front of her, although the armor is still bright, but the body is like dry wood.

  The woman reached out and brushed the knight's withered face.

Then.

  A ring of darkness appeared in the center of the screen.

   Flames rose from the edge of the Dark Ring.

   "Dark Souls"

  《DARKSOULS》

  The name of the game slowly emerged on the ring of darkness.

  The entire promotional video is only three minutes...

   It will be over soon.

   Wang Ang finished reading.

Then.

  He couldn't suppress his excitement at all, he didn't do anything, and directly posted a post, excitedly typing: "Children's Day! Lin Yao has a heart! This is the best Children's Day gift for players!!"

   I will correct typos later, time is too tight...
