There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning Chapter 578

  Chapter 578 Will they regret it in the future?

  No one thought of it.

   What Linmu Studio announced with great fanfare is not only a "Dark Souls 2", but also an event!

  Last year's "Easter Egg Adventure" mini-game... is here again.

  As long as players who have experienced it know what this means—

   Forest Carnival.

   Voted the best gamer event of the last year!

  Many players have actually forgotten about this event. Recently, mobile games have become popular, and related news has been repeatedly washed away.

  They even think that Forest Studio forgot.

but.

  The fire outside the headquarters of Linmu Studio proved that they have not forgotten.

  Not only did they not forget, they even combined with "Dark Soul 2" to make an ingenious announcement.

  The bonfire that keeps going out.

   represents the world in the Dark Souls sequel.

   It also represents a traditional game that is about to be completed under the impact of mobile games.

at last.

  The firewood thrown by the 'Miss Maid' towards the fading bonfire made the fire rise again, as if Linmu Studio was expressing its attitude.

  Although the scope of the fire was limited to the headquarters of Forest Wood Studio.

   But for the players, this is enough.

This group of players who have grown up with Linmu Studio, and even under the training of Linmu Studio, have gradually established a sense of payment. After seeing this, and then opening "Easter Egg Adventure" again, it is a lie if you say you don't feel moved. of.

  The bonfire in Linmu Studio is still lit, it is really enough.

Although.

   After the initial shock and excitement.

   Some players are worried that the "Miss Maid" in the Easter Egg Adventure said that there are many interesting things hidden in the game, which may include mobile games.

   But most players don't care anymore.

  So what if there are Easter eggs in mobile games.

  At least the Forest Carnival is still held as usual, and the focus of the announcement is still traditional games.

   That's it.

but.

  The development of the last thing is beyond the expectations of many players...

   Ever since the Pixel Maid appeared on the screen outside the headquarters of Linmu Studios.

  The next three days.

  The LED screen outside the headquarters of Linmu Studio is always on.

   Forest Carnival's famous kanban girl pixel maid stands in the center of the screen, wobbling.

but.

   She doesn't stand all the time either.

  Occasionally, she also moves.

   And as she moves, the content on the screen will change.

  For example, the day after the announcement of "Easter Egg Adventure", at four o'clock in the afternoon.

  The maid on the screen suddenly starts walking to the left.

  As she walked, the environment also changed.

   It turned into an environment full of red lava, and after the "Miss Maid" walked around here, she was immediately besieged by a bunch of lava giants, and began to flee in a hurry, scurrying around...

   After running out.

   She looked back at the room she just ran out of with lingering fear, then pretended nothing happened, glanced left and right, and moved to the center of the screen.

   Keep shaking from side to side...

   Many players had a panoramic view of this scene.

  At this moment, the mini-game "Easter Egg Adventure" seemed to be connected to the LED screen outside the headquarters of Linmu Studio.

  Because this is also an easter egg.

  A player discovered it yesterday.

   Go into a certain room, and a bunch of lava giants will appear.

   On the ground, there was still the corpse of an orc warrior.

  The name of this easter egg is - 'Who is the murderer'.

  Players who don't know about it may look confused, but as long as they have watched the live broadcast of Linmu Studio's "World of Warcraft" server launch, they will know what it is.

   This is clearly the famous scene where Qi Jianhua invites the monster group to destroy all the members of Linmu Studio...

   Who is the murderer?

  The murderer is the corpse on the ground!

  So, when this easter egg was revealed, a bunch of "World of Warcraft" players were really overjoyed!

  After all, Linmu Studio not only plays tricks, but also pretends to add reasoning elements...

   Really belong to you! !

   There were easter eggs foreshadowing before, and now I see the adventure of the maid lady on the screen outside the headquarters of Linmu Studio.

  The feeling is even more.

   It turns out that in the "Easter Egg Adventure", the maid who only stood at the door to welcome the players would sneak in to explore! He will also be chased by the lava giant!

  This feeling that reality and games seem to be connected to each other.

  For the players of Linmu Workshop.

   It's awesome! !

   Really sincere!

   Originally very low, even dead player community.

   After the Easter Egg Adventure comes out.

   Rejuvenated!

  Almost all the players who have played the games of Linmu Studio, ran to play the small game that looked very simple, as if it had traveled from the era of eight-bit computers.

  And all players, as long as they find an easter egg, they will send it out as soon as possible, and discuss the source of the easter egg with other players.

  Of course, it is inevitable to laugh at the Kanban lady and the maid for taking risks secretly, running away with her head in her arms...

  Don't say it.

  Outside the forest studio headquarters, the scene where the maid was chased by the lava giant and ran away in a panic was broadcast.

  In the Easter Egg Adventure, the player talks to the maid, and there is really an option to laugh at her...

  That is, after choosing to laugh at her.

  Miss Maid will directly kick players who laugh at her offline, and will not play...

   Block IP directly!

  Unlocked the next day.

but.

   Even so, there are still players who continue to laugh at the maid lady. After being kicked off the line, they don't mind, and they will show off on the forum...

that's it.

  One side is the Easter egg is a big adventure, one side is the LED screen outside the headquarters of Linmu Studio in reality, and the other side is the common memory of the players...

   All these intertwine and change the lifeless status quo...

  The players are having fun again!

  And the "Easter Egg Adventure" is actually far from being as simple as the picture quality shows.

  After all, Lin Yao was prepared this time.

  This game will not only be synchronized with reality, but the size of the game will also far exceed players' expectations.

   Two days passed.

   There are also players discovering new easter eggs!

  And when the player is stuck in a bottleneck and cannot find the remaining eggs.

   Outside the headquarters of Linmu Studio, the maid on the LED screen will not only embarrass the eyes, but also give some reminders to the players.

  All Easter eggs in the game are different from last year, but basically cover all traditional games under Linmu Studio.

   There are stand-alone games and online games.

   But that's... there is no easter egg for a mobile game or a mobile phone.

  May 23rd.

  The third day of the Easter Egg Adventure announcement.

  There are player statistics, and there are a total of ninety-nine Easter eggs that have been found.

  Most players guessed that there should be only one easter egg left.

but.

  The last remaining easter egg has never been found...

soon.

  The live broadcast outside the headquarters of Linmu Studio appeared again, and more players came to watch the scene.

  Because they had a hunch.

  The last easter egg should be found today.

   And their hunch...was accurate.

   That day, at nine forty-three in the evening.

   Guangdong City.

  A player named Hao Meng, after carefully looking around the castle in the game, successfully relied on his memory to answer all the trash talk in the first Breakout Challenge correctly in a short time.

   Then, he successfully got the trophy props, and went around the castle three more times.

  Opened the hidden room and found the last easter egg.

   Easter eggs of "Breakout"!

  The specific content of the Easter Egg... is the plan for "Breakout", the first large-scale 3D large-scale game of Linmu Studio, from project approval to final launch.

  When accompanied by music with a strong sense of age.

  When the maid who acted as the kanban lady ran all the way from the gate of the castle to hand over the plan to him.

  This player named Hao Meng laughed so happily.

   And at the same time.

   Right when the last easter egg is found.

   Outside the headquarters of Linmu Studio.

   LED screen.

  The maid, who had been swaying from side to side, suddenly walked away without looking back, until she disappeared off the screen.

   And just when the players were wondering.

  She hugged a podium and ran back again.

   Next.

  She placed the podium heavily in the center of the screen, and made a gesture of invitation to the podium.

   After a few seconds.

  A pixel villain with the ID on the top of his head is "It's all about Mongolia", walked over from the edge of the screen, and slowly stepped onto the awarding platform.

   Bang Bang —

  The moment this player stepped onto the podium.

  On the screen, firework effects light up.

  Colorful spotlights swept across the headquarters building of Linmu Studio again.

   A line of large characters appears.

  【Top Player of the 2nd Forest Studio Carnival: All thanks to Meng】

  【Congratulations~】

   "YES!!!"

  Outside the headquarters building of Linmu Studio.

  Countless players who were watching saw this scene.

   I don't know why, but I cheered immediately!

  The sound volume was so loud that all pedestrians looked sideways.

   And in the live broadcast room.

  Countless players who watched the live broadcast from a distance also began to swipe their screens—"ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

at the same time.

  On each player community.

   Congratulatory posts appear densely.

  Of course, apart from congratulations, there are also a bunch of people complaining about this broken ID, which is comparable to last year's number one player 'Excess'!

but.

   Anyway...

   The players seem to be really happy...

   This made many concerned colleagues quite puzzled.

no.

  Although... Linmu Studio didn't just announce the game "Dark Soul 2" in the end.

   It is to announce the Forest Carnival.

   But wasn't there the same event last year?

  Why are these players so happy?

  Many colleagues can't understand.

   And Linmu Studio, of course, can't care about the difference, after the final easter egg is found.

   Immediately announced the promotional video of this year's carnival, giving the time and related ticket purchase channels.

  When the promotional video is released.

   Once again, I saw the well-known characters of the games under Linmu Studio, gathered together, and looked at the camera together.

  Countless players cheered again.

  Crazy happy!

   "Okay!! Everyone will save face when the tickets are issued tomorrow! Give me a ticket!"

   "Just tens of thousands of tickets, each according to their ability!"

   "What is the last easter egg? Does anyone know? Is it a mobile game?"

"It's not a mobile game. I just saw it on another forum. It's the launch plan for Linmu Studio's first large-scale 3D game "Breakout". signatures, such as Zhong Xiu, Qi Jianhua, Lin Yao, etc..."

   "Huh? Real or fake? Proposal? After the last easter egg was found, the game entrance disappeared... Ah! I'm so envious!"

   "What I envy even more is the No. 1 ticket that comes with the number one player... Ahhh, I shouldn't have laughed at the maid lady! I should be serious about looking for easter eggs."

   "It's not a mobile game easter egg... So, of all the easter eggs this time, there is not one about mobile games and mobile phones?"

"Yes, no! Not a single one. It is estimated that there will be no mobile game-related content at the carnival this time. Judging from the promotional videos and lines released so far, it is mainly PC and Switch games, including the previous video games. Games disclosed at the festival.

  By the way, there is also "World of Warcraft", the small version 1.9 has been updated some time ago, and this time the carnival will probably announce the big version 2.0! "

   "Fuck!! Stop talking! I'm so excited now!"

   "It's really interesting... This kind of activity! The launch plan of the first large-scale 3D game "Breakout", is this some kind of signal?"

   "Yes, this is the signal. In fact, when the maid said, 'the world has changed a lot outside, but it hasn't changed here', it's already obvious...they won't change, and the maid said it won't change."

Yes.

  Many players have identified it.

   This Easter Egg Adventure, or more precisely, the Forest Carnival, will not have any news about mobile games and mobile phones.

   What can be roughly confirmed at present are all news about online games and large stand-alone machines.

   This makes colleagues even more confused.

   In fact, don't talk about peers.

  Many game media editors feel confused.

  Why?

  If Linmu Studio has been not optimistic about mobile games, then it's okay.

   But didn't they just launch six mobile games?

   But it is still an extremely high-quality mobile game.

  Then why not continue to strike while the iron is hot, launch mobile games to quickly seize the market, and at the same time win more attention in the carnival, a player event with high exposure at home and abroad?

  This is the most normal strategy, right?

  How did Linmu Studio reverse the course of history?

   Can't figure it out.

   Really can't figure it out!

   Many people in the industry even predict that Linmu Studio may be just an easter egg without mobile games.

   Forest Carnival site.

   There will definitely be!

  The only one who disagrees.

   Probably Mou Feng of Tianhu.

  He vaguely understood what Linmu Studio was doing, and he was convinced that there would be no mobile games in this Forest Carnival!

  And the influence of the forest carnival this time, in fact, the restoration is more than that...

the next day.

  Many game media have reported the news of the forest carnival, and also discussed the changes of the game era, the end of the game, and whether there will be mobile games at the forest carnival.

   A moment.

  Many players feel that the era seems to have changed back...

   But soon, this feeling disappeared.

  The third day.

  Most of the game media turned to discussing mobile games.

  Although Linmu Studio is huge.

   But they are just one company.

   Recently, in the domestic game industry, the biggest outlet is still mobile games.

  Usually what I see the most is mobile game news.

  Because investors also like to read such news.

   Of course the game media followed suit.

but…

   Compared with the previous few days, the player's reaction was beyond the expectations of many game media editors.

  The number of consultations related to mobile games has plummeted.

  The comments below are often ridicule...

   "What age is it, and you still talk about mobile games, I want to see the news of the forest carnival!"

   "Don't play mobile games, give me some strength! Dig me the news of Forest Carnival! I want to see their new game!"

   "Let's talk about the cancellation of the mobile game! I'll talk about it later, now I want to know the news about the forest carnival!"

   "Give me an inside message, is "World of Warcraft" going to be updated to version 2.0?"

  Most game media editors were dumbfounded when they saw these comments.

Then.

  It was only then that they realized that most of the people who would read the game media reports were core players. These people... were more interested in traditional games than in mobile games.

   It's a good thing that the Forest Carnival was not announced before.

  Everyone knows that mobile games are the trend now, and there is no choice but to read relevant news.

  But now that the Forest Carnival is out... Let these core players watch mobile games, they will not be happy.

  So that's the case...

  Many editors probably also know the intention of Linmu Studio to publicize the carnival.

   And when the "Easter Egg Adventure" event ended, it broke out, and overseas players directly launched a petition, gathering more than 200,000 players in a short period of time, saying that overseas players also hope to participate in this type of event...

  Many game media editors couldn't help laughing bitterly...

   Times seem to have changed.

  The current trend is mobile games.

   But for the current group of players who grew up playing traditional games.

   Times haven't changed…

  It takes a process for them to accept, and the development of mobile games also takes a certain amount of time.

  Linmu Studio will hold a carnival, directly kicking out the mobile game, without mentioning it at all.

   is indeed a coup to increase player cohesion.

  The effect is also excellent.

   Now just look at the player's reaction.

but…

   These game media editors have another doubt, that is—

  Doesn't Linmu Studio want to develop? Don't you want to seize the mobile game market?

  They should know it too, right? Mobile games are now the blue ocean, with a market that is not lost to traditional games at all!

  They should know better than anyone that they launched six mobile games directly.

  Then aren't they afraid of... falling behind?

   After all, they have taught many colleagues how to make mobile games!

Yes.

   Now it is possible to make players like and be more loyal to Forest Workshop for a short time.

   But the future always comes.

  In the days to come, other game companies will launch more epoch-making mobile games, slowly changing the habits of players.

  What about Linmu Studio?

  Will they later regret... regret this moment?

at the same time.

  Linmu Studio.

   Coincidentally.

  Bao Liangzhe from the hardware department was also asking Lin Yao similar questions.

  Although he is a very pure technician and doesn't understand games, he can still understand the market.

  So after hesitating for a long time, he also found Lin Yao and asked the same question.

   "The market..."

  After hearing this, Lin Yao was startled for a moment, then smiled and replied: "If I say that I am confident that I can stabilize traditional players without affecting the development of mobile games... Do you believe me?"

"letter."

  Bao Liangzhe nodded immediately: "Actually, when I saw your expression, I knew my worries were unnecessary, and I just wanted to mention one thing.

  You know that I am in charge of the hardware. I just judge the future trend from the hardware level and the recent actions of Jiaming Alliance. It is not necessarily accurate, so you can use it as a reference. "

Speaking of which.

  He paused, then smiled: "In the final analysis, it still needs you to make a decision, after all, you haven't missed a single time."

"thanks."

  Lin Yao was slightly taken aback, then nodded slightly to express her gratitude.

   "Then I'll go back to work."

  Bao Liangzhe scratched his head, then turned and left.

  When he found that Lin Yao heard his question, not only did he not find it strange, but even smiled.

  He knew there was nothing to worry about.

  Lin Yao watched the old employee who had joined the switch project go away, then suddenly turned to look at Mu Wanqing next to her: "Miss Mu."

   "Huh?" Mu Wanqing lowered her head, looking at her fair face.

  Lin Yao asked with a sweet smile: "How many people do you think think that our Linmu studio is hesitating and struggling, and that there are problems with our strategy?"

  Mu Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then replied gently: "I guess it's quite a lot, but I believe your judgment will definitely not be wrong."

   "Thank you... But it's not necessary, I will soon touch my blind spot of knowledge, and my judgment may not be all accurate."

Lin Yao stood up from the chair and looked out the French window: "To be honest, normally speaking, it is true that the mobile game should be brought to the carnival. Although this will cause some criticism, the exposure is real. Even if No matter how fiercely scolded at that time, the final income will not be bad, and it may even appear in the financial report.

   But that's what I said, but I do have a shadow of this kind of scene... and there are so many channels, it doesn't have to be focused on the carnival. Instead of making players feel bad, it's better to be pure and make them happy.

  Of course, in the final analysis, it's because I'm a little confident that it's okay to let my colleagues run a certain distance first! "

Speaking of which.

  Lin Yao turned her head and smiled brightly at Mu Wanqing.

   Looking at the confident boss, Mu Wanqing couldn't help laughing.

"Moreover."

Lin Yao suddenly changed the subject and said narrowly: "The tablet computer under development, as a device between a mobile phone and a computer, must show some entertainment functions, right? Will it be more down-to-earth to show mobile games then? And The data on the mobile phone is shared, but the screen is bigger and the game is more enjoyable..."

  Mu Wanqing: "..."

  She froze immediately.

   She really didn't expect this...

   "Look, this is the big capitalist."

  Seeing her reaction, Lin Yao immediately puffed up her magnificent chest, and proudly said: "Everything is calculated! Maximize the benefits! It seems that it is not profitable now! But it will never lose money!"

   "...Okay, I know you are a big capitalist."

  Mu Wanqing came to her senses and replied with some amusement.

   Didn't take it too seriously.

  If Lin Yao really pays attention to maximizing profits, then the carnival should have a mobile game session.

   After all, it comes down to it.

  The market changes in a blink of an eye. No matter how confident you are, it would be very risky to completely abandon mobile games when mobile games are becoming popular.

   "Why are you biting the big characters so hard?" Lin Yao reached out and pinched Mu Wanqing's soft face.

   "You have big breasts..."

  Mu Wanqing held her slender waist, let her get close to him, and whispered back.

   "Mu Wanqing, you are going too far." Lin Yao was stunned for a while, and was amused, and pinched her face even harder.

  Mu Wanqing shook her little head, but found that she couldn't shake it off, so she could only let her pinch it.

  Lin Yao pinched Hui Mu Wanqing's face, she seemed a little tired.

  She let go of Mu Wanqing's face, then looked out of the window over her shoulder, suddenly chuckled and said:

   "Actually, many people think that mobile games are the trend, and they are right."

   "But they don't know what the current players want."

   "Let this group of players unite, and the energy they burst out is not small. It might surprise everyone and make them doubt the future..."

   It's too late to get off work, and I couldn't sleep again last night. I'm in a bad state. Please forgive me...
