There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning Chapter 460

  Chapter 460 A Better Gift

  Speeches from supporters of Forestwood Studios.

  Of course Lin Yao noticed it too.

   But she couldn't make them feel at ease...

  Because whether it is the host, the game platform, or the game itself, it is not something that you want to do and can produce results immediately.

   Don't look at the switch mainframe's momentum now, but who knows if there will be problems in the future.

  In the same way, the Vaporwave game platform feels quite dangerous now, but the game platform is not a consumable, it is about long-term operation, and a temporary gain or loss does not mean anything.

  If Linmu Studio is a listed company, then Lin Yao may feel impatient due to the pressure and the stock price drop caused by analysts who are not optimistic and players who lack confidence.

   But unfortunately, Linmu Studio is not.

  Not only is it not, Lin Yao also has a very clear understanding of the user traffic obtained by gifting games.

   This thing really has advantages and disadvantages. Although it can get a huge number of users at once, such as the Ebao in her previous life, not to mention the registered users catching up with steam, it is directly equal.

   But this doesn't mean anything. Free games can certainly attract players, but whether they can retain them is a big question…

   After all, Lin Yao has also experienced several battles of burning money, including but not limited to bicycles, food delivery, e-commerce, online car-hailing... This game is really a small scene.

  So it is really unnecessary to go to war because of the registration numbers announced by the other party.

   Besides, Lin Yao didn't do nothing, she didn't care about the analyst's opinion, and she didn't care.

  But she still cares about the players, so she is going to reveal the game lineup for the second half of the year to boost the players' confidence. There are also continuous optimization of the community, creative workshops, network and other things, ready to give players a better experience!

  Oh, there is also a trading system, but this is really troublesome, and the time to go online may be a bit late, but we are really working hard.

  Lin Yao is a player herself, and she knows what players need most. Instead of doing something that makes analysts feel that the Vaporwave game platform still has a great advantage, it is better to do what game companies should do most.

   That's about delivering a good game that keeps players interested.

  Although there are quite a few players who speak out now, Lin Yao will not ignore the silent majority.

  The silent majority, in fact, don't pay much attention to who wins and who loses between the two PC game platforms.

   But they definitely pay attention to new games.

  Give them what they need, what they want.

   This is Lin Yao's strategy.

   Well, in simple terms, it's painting cakes…

  But don't underestimate Huabing.

   This is the most important business strategy in the gaming industry…

  Because this can continue to raise the player's expectation value, when the player's expectation value reaches a certain level...the final increase in sales is very scary.

  'Nobody remembers a **** game that came out on time. '

  This sentence comes from Marchin, the co-founder of CDPR.

  As for why he said this, it was because "Cyberpunk 2077" was delayed again.

  As for why this sentence was widely circulated later.

   On the one hand, what he said really makes sense...

  But on the other hand, it is because after the release of "Cyberpunk 2077", there are so many problems...

  The high expectations created by CDPR eventually clashed with reality, making the phrase 'no one remembers a **** game released on time' very dramatic...

   Regardless of the review of "Cyberpunk 2077", what did the CDPR executive Marcin who said this sentence think later.

  But the "Cyberpunk 2077", which was crazily complained by players, misplaced expectations, and had a lot of problems, sold at a palace level...

  18 million!

  A new IP, sold 18 million copies!

  Even if you count the refunded players in the early stage of the game, it is a masterpiece of tens of millions, and according to the community survey, there are only about two million players who refunded the game...

  So no matter what, this game is undoubtedly a success in terms of sales!

  The reason why the game sales are so high is because of the good reputation accumulated by CDPR in front of it, and there are also reasons why the content presented is really novel despite the game's many problems.

  But you said that there is no credit for the announcement of the cake, but Lin Yao will deny it.

  Linmu Studio certainly wouldn't be rushing to work because of sales and platforms…

  Painting cakes will not be so crazy. Basically painted cakes can be eaten this year.

   After all, the sales volume of "Cyberpunk 2077" is high, but also because of the misplaced expectations, the good reputation that CDPR has finally accumulated is almost completely ruined.

   It also caused a large group of players to have a very big psychological shadow on the matter of pre-ordering the game.

   This actually hurts.

   "Boss, boss!"

"Um?"

  Lin Yao came back to her senses suddenly, and looked at Qi Jianhua.

   "What are you thinking?" Qi Jianhua looked at Lin Yao who was in a daze, and asked curiously.

   "Huabing... No, is there a problem?" Lin Yao almost blurted out, but fortunately she stopped in time.

   "According to what you said, the adjustment has been made, let's see if it works."

   When Qi Jianhua heard the word "painting cake", the corners of his mouth twitched. A boss who doesn't hide his thoughts may be rare outside.

  But he was used to seeing it in Linmu Studio, so he didn't bother with Lin Yao's words.

  He also knows what he does, which is painting cakes.

  But if the industry makes cakes like Linmu Studio, players will probably be happy... After all, the cakes that they could eat back then are really too conscientious.

"Let me see…"

  Lin Yao heard Qi Jianhua's words and looked at the screen in front of him.

  How to reveal the game lineup for the second half of the year, there are two options.

   In the end, Lin Yao still chose the latter when it came to the face-to-face meeting and the promotional video.

  The main reason is that the game is currently being steadily produced. If there is a face-to-face meeting, it is necessary to introduce some gameplay or elements that will make the players' eyes shine. Just put the LOGO, and it is not the old IP, or "Galaxy Warrior 4", it does not make any sense.

  But if Lin Yao wants to disclose the gameplay or elements that make players' eyes shine, it will disrupt the production progress of the production team, and the gains outweigh the losses.

   So finally.

Lin Yao still chose a promotional video that is more convenient and has more room for adjustment. Simply put, it is to take some game materials that have been produced now, and make a video similar to the mixed cut of the game. The game lineup is shown to the player.

   And the video she is watching now is the 'mixed cut' promotional video.

   "...Well, almost."

Lin Yao finished watching the not-so-long mixed-cut promotional video, nodded, and then ordered: "This time, in addition to the LOGO of the host switch, let's also add the LOGO of the Vaporwave game platform on the PC side, and tell all players, Not only console games, but also PC games.

  In addition, don't use the word switch in the title. It's better to write Linmu Studio, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings among host players, and then cause unnecessary troubles. "

"it is good."

  Qi Jianhua nodded, expressing his understanding.

"You're busy."

  Lin Yao finally glanced at the screen and let out a sigh of relief.

   This is a surprise, but I don't know if players will buy it or not...

   August 11th.

  The aftermath of the end of the promotional activities of the two major console platforms is still fermenting.

   Although the online game distribution platform has not been around for a long time, the rapid development of the Vaporwave game platform is obvious to all.

  This market has been tapped because of the Vaporwave game platform.

  So seeing the great success of the Linmu Studio game platform, there are many people who want to enter the market, or pay attention to this market.

   As Gameplayer is a disruptor in the market, this time grabbing business, in the eyes of many people, is undoubtedly a success!

  The number of registrations was announced, and the stock prices of Gilber Company and Dreamland immediately began to rise in response.

   As a pioneer in this market, Linmu Studio's Vaporwave game platform, in the opinion of many industry analysts, the strategy is too conservative!

   This one who doesn't move at all... is like a bastard.

  So analysts generally believe that Linmu Studio has devoted too much energy to the console...and this has caused the Vaporwave game platform to weaken!

   Next, Gameplayer Machete will overtake and become the number one in the industry, which is just around the corner!

certainly.

  In fact, there are some hard blows... After all, this is about the stock prices of Gilbert and Dreamland.

  But there are indeed many people who really think so.

   And under this kind of public opinion.

  Gameplayer has been released for less than half a year, but in the eyes of many people, it has already kept pace with the Vaporwave game platform.

  It was originally only the publisher of the Vaporwave game platform, but suddenly it became an equal competitor.

   It really made the players sigh, and made the supporters of Linmu Studio anxious.

  Linmu Studio, say something!

soon.

  The situation has evolved into this...

but.

   This situation did not last long. On the same day, Linmu Studio released a promotional video through multiple channels.

   What game platform debate.

   All of a sudden.

   then all becomes unimportant...

   Today.

at noon.

  Uncle Lin, Wang Ang ordered takeaway, then turned around and took out the Switch from his bag.

   Wake up the screen.

  Wang Ang looked at the game icon of "Dark Soul" on the homepage, showing a complicated expression...

   Tell the truth.

  This game...Although it almost ruined him, he fell into the dilemma of being PKed by a real person.

   And when he just started playing, he was so angry that his hands and feet were cold.

   But for some reason, he finally played it anyway, and like most of the 'undead'... he was obsessed with it.

  The story of addicted to the game, the gameplay of the addicted to the game, and the matter of suffering...

  Although there are some twists and turns.

   But in the end, the game did give him an 'adventure for adults'...

  Wang Ang himself, although unwilling to admit it, has indeed begun to look forward to the next work of Linmu Studio.

that is.

  He won't break the news next time he kills...

  Actually, he can't reveal the news this time, because the person in charge of the studio told him that the new game theme of Linmu Studio is seriously inconsistent with the style that Yika Studio is good at... He has already declined it.

  He can no longer be an uncle party.

   "...forget it, let's browse the forum."

  Wang Ang looked at the "Dark Souls" icon on the switch, and finally restrained the idea of ​​playing for a while before eating.

  This kind of game is not suitable for playing before meals, it is more interesting to play when there is plenty of time.

  So Wang Ang shook his head, put down the switch, turned to face the computer, opened the forum, and prepared to kill the time when the takeaway arrived.

  On the forum, because there are not many high-profile games recently, the topics discussed are very mixed.

  However, there are still many related topics in Linmu Studio.

   The most discussed ones are, of course, the Vaporwave game platform and Gameplayer, which has been in the limelight recently.

   The players are mainly divided into two factions.

  One group thinks that Linmu Studio should take more practical actions instead of perfecting communities and creative workshops now! At the same time, don't put all the focus on the console, otherwise the Vaporwave game platform will be finished sooner or later!

  The other faction believes that there is no need for Linmu Studio to do anything! The current popularity of Gameplayer is based on sending games, and the stable operation of the Vaporwave game platform will be fine!

  Most of the related posts are actually the two factions arguing...

   Wang Ang peeped for a while, but did not participate.

  Actually, he doesn't know which faction he belongs to. He supports Linmu Studio, but he also feels that there is no need to teach a game company that has repeatedly created miracles in the game industry…

But at the same time, he has also heard about the strong momentum of Gameplayer recently, and he also thinks what Linmu Studio should do at this time... But he has no idea how to do it specifically, but he can be sure of one thing, he really does not want the domestic Linmu Studio loses.

   "Should... not lose?"

  Wang Ang looked at the forum, but didn't find any news that he cared about, so he closed it.

  He muttered something to himself, then opened the Vaporwave game platform casually, subconsciously wanting to see what Linmu Studio was doing.

   And this look.

   I didn't expect it to happen...there really is one!

  The homepage of the Vaporwave game platform, the moment he opened it, a conspicuous promotional image appeared in rotation.

  The composition of the promotional picture is peculiar, and there are many characters on it, but Wang Ang only knows one, and that is Mario, and he doesn't know the others...

  But this promotional picture is very eye-catching...

"What is this?"

  Wang Ang looked at the promotional picture, and entered with some curiosity.

  Page jump.

   Then, a video playback page popped up.

   There is not much information on the page.

   Just one playback window, add a sentence...

  【This winter. 】

  【Dedicated to players. 】

  Wang Ang glanced at the words on the page, and then clicked on the video out of curiosity.

  Video playback.

  The screen lights up.

   Accompanied by rapid drumbeats.

  【Linmu Studio】

  【Vaporwave Game Platform】

  【switch】

  【First half】

  【Player】

【game…】

  Different words appeared one by one, and then the moment the word'game' appeared, the background music suddenly changed its tone.

   "Yah ha ha!"

  The famous mascot of "The Legend of Zelda" suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the screen, smashing the word "Game" into pieces.

  At the same time, the prelude to the video officially kicked off!

  In the first half of the year, the game screens of the **** masterpiece released with the console in January began to appear one by one.

   Next, there are "Pokémon Legend", "ARMS", and "Dark Soul", which were released some time ago.

  The screens that appear in each game are not long.

  The last game is "labo", which has just been released.

   "What is this? Mixed cut?"

  Wang Ang looked at the screen, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled knowingly.

  Although he still doesn't know what the meaning of such a mixed cut by Linmu Studio is.

  But it's really fun to see the games I like and are familiar with appearing one by one.

   And just when Wang Ang thought so...

  As the play screen of "LABO" combining paper toys and games gradually fades away, the dynamic music also gradually calms down.

   And just when Wang Ang thought the video was over.

   Rapid drumming.

   Suddenly it rang again!

  The text that appeared at the beginning of the video also reappeared with the rhythmic drums.

  【Linmu Studio】

  【Vaporwave Game Platform】

  【switch】

  【Player】

【game】

  【The second half of the year...】

  In the second half of the video, the text has changed slightly.

  The biggest change is that the first half of the year has become the second half of the year!

   Next.

"Yahoo!"

   Accompanied by a happy plumber with a big nose, a hat, overalls, and a beard, he jumped out from the bottom of the screen and smashed the words "second half of the year" into pieces.

  Linmu Studio's game announcement in the second half of the year officially kicked off!

  Wang Ang was stunned for a while, but he still hadn't reacted.

  The screen of the first game has come out.

   Seems to be a new Mario game...but unlike the platform jumping game that came out of the summer special promotion, this Mario game seems to be a multiplayer game.

  As for this Mario game, Wang Ang has not yet figured out what type it is.

  Accompanied by the video, Mario jumped up and made a celebratory gesture, and the picture suddenly changed.

   Pata.

  Accompanied by the sound of leather shoes hitting the ground, the cute cartoon style suddenly becomes dark and real.

  Under a dark sky.

  The symbol of the king's authority in British history—the Tower of London appears in the center of the screen.

Then, the picture turned to the room, a slender man with a big back and a diamond face leaned back on the chair, picked up the pipe in his mouth, tapped it lightly, and then looked at the opposite side, very gentlemanly :

   "Sherlock Holmes...Sherlock Holmes."

   Then, the screen changes again.

  From cloudy London, it suddenly turned into sunny Luoyang.

  The huge ancient Jian ethnic group appears in the center of the screen.

  The camera follows a dignified but hurried official, who climbs a long staircase to a magnificent palace.

   "Your Majesty!"

  The official saluted and shouted at the same time.

   At the top of the main hall, a majestic woman was sitting upright, expressionless.

  The screen changes again.

   All of a sudden it's back to cartoon style.

  On the cartoon-rendered map, a bulging pink cute creature bulged up and floated in the air with the sound of inhaling. It floated in the air very germinatingly, then landed in front of a mob, and took another breath.

   The monster was sucked in by the chubby pink creature.

  The pink creature suddenly transformed, with monster elements on its body.

  Wang Ang was stunned again, but didn't react.

  The screen changed again...

  This time it was a primitive jungle, an Indian man stood up from the jungle and looked towards the camera.

   "Welcome, stranger, I am Hiawatha, the spokesperson of the Iroquois. We pursue peace, but we do not fear war..."

   Then, the screen changed again...

  A cartoon-style character, holding a ring-shaped object in both hands, running quickly on the map, the gameplay seems very simple.

   And the finale game looks the best!

  On the stormy sea...the lights of the cruise ship flickering in the distance.

  The helicopter whizzed by suddenly.

  A few military-looking people could be seen sitting on the side of the helicopter, looking at the cruise ship.

   "There are 30 seconds left, silence!"

  Accompanied by the last game screen.

   The rhythm of the whole video starts to speed up!

   More game screens appear.

  But the screen of each game is almost gone in a flash, often before Wang Ang can react, the screen changes...

  He listened to the dynamic music the whole time, and watched the video with a dazed expression.

   And the video is last.

   Game LOGOs that players have never seen before appear one by one.

  "Super Mario Party", "Kirby", "Ring Fit Adventure".

   "Civilization", "Call of Duty", "Sherlock Holmes", "Di Renjie".

   Then, after the name of the last game came out.

  The last line appears.

  Video, end.

  【On sale this winter. 】

  【Dedicated to players. 】

  【Dedicated to all players. 】

Senseless.

  Wang Ang was dumbfounded.

  He froze in place for a long time before he suddenly realized that excitement... surged into his heart in an instant!

  He frantically held the mouse again, pulled the progress bar of the video to the front, and watched the video again.

  This time, he was prepared and focused on the second half of the video.

   "Mario theme...Victorian period...Wu Zhou? And cute style...I don't know what style...Modern...Damn it!"

   This time.

  Wang Ang focused on the information disclosed in each game screen in the promotional film.

   And the more he looked, the more surprised he was! The harder it is to make your own!

  Seeing the end, he even stood up straight away, and yelled in a loud voice.

  The staff of the Yika studio all looked sideways because of Wang Ang's sudden 'fuck'.

  But Wang Ang didn't care about other people's strange gazes, his inner joy is beyond words now!

  He quickly opened the forum, copied the link of the promotional video, and posted a post directly!

  He didn't even think about the fact that his ID was stinky, so he couldn't help posting directly.

  Because he really wants to share his joy with others.

   The joy of this moment.

   For players who support Linmu Studio and like the games of Linmu Studio, this time, the new year is really coming!

  So soon, there were more posts on the forum.

  【Look! Never mind the platform! Linmu Studio is making a big move! 】

  As soon as this post appeared, it immediately attracted countless players.

  But the players attracted at the beginning... have a bit of a different idea from Wang Ang. Most of these people did not come to celebrate the New Year together, but set special attention to Uncle Lin's ID, and watched Uncle Lin's posts to attack him.

  As soon as these people entered the post, they started shouting and killing.

   But soon.

   Follow these people to click on the video link in the post.

  Uncle Lin, it suddenly becomes unimportant...

  At the beginning of the video, many players thought it was a mixed cut, but when the video reached the second half, all players were dumbfounded.

  Then the player came to his senses, and his first thought was that he didn't believe it. It was Uncle Lin who wanted to fish in troubled waters again.

  But when players go to the official website of Linmu Studio, they see the same video hanging on the official website.

  All players were shocked!

  This is really...Limwood Studios' game lineup for the second half of the year.

  Not only do the themes cover both home and abroad, but the time span is very large and the genres are different, and so many games...all will be released this winter!

   Damn it!

soon.

  Under the post, the reputation changed instantly, and Uncle Lin was instantly ignored.

  All supporters of Linmu Studio, or all gamers, celebrate the New Year in place immediately!

   And a highly praised reply was quickly placed at the forefront of the post.

   That reply was—

   "I thought Gameplayer gave the game the best gift for players, but unexpectedly, Dedicatedtoplayers, dedicated to all players... It turns out that there is a better gift, waiting here!!"

   Looking for the next monthly pass...
