the next day.

Since it was the beginning of the year, Lin Mo, a gamer who cannot be ignored in Chinese games, needed to attend an event.

The Game Commission’s annual summary meeting on the game industry last year.

At this event, major game companies in China will be invited to participate, and a report on China’s game industry last year will be released.

The content includes the total output value of the game industry, growth rate, number of game players, overseas sales, reports on e-sports and other related industries, as well as industry training.

Compared with the professionalism of the game exchange conference, this time it summarizes the game industry from a more macro perspective.

Of course, summary reports from industry representative companies are also indispensable.

It's just that most of these reports are full of beautiful words.

At the meeting, there was another important link, which was the selection of the top ten games in China.

Belongs to an extra honour.

As expected, Naughty Cat won the first place, Tianyun Interactive Entertainment took second place, and Dongrong Interactive Entertainment, which Naughty Cat and Naughty Cat have recently disliked, took fifth place.

After the annual meeting, Lin Mo hurried back to the company.

The drama of Dead by Daylight and Standby has passed, and it's time to get back on track.

Just as he was about to leave, someone came up to him.

Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and said hello with a half-smile: "Mr. Zhou, what's the matter?"

Mr. Zhou from Dongrong Interactive Entertainment.

His real name is Zhou Wenguang, a second-generation rich man who is the kind of person who has more than enough.

My family has made some achievements in the real estate industry, but it is far less than Qianda or Xda. It belongs to the kind that has some energy in a certain area.

In addition, the most famous thing is that there is a football club in the Chinese Super League.

Zhou Wenguang smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Lin Mo's hand.

"Mr. Lin, this is the first time we have met, right? As a colleague, I have been fascinated by the representative of Chinese games for a long time."

Lin Mo shook his head and said: "I'm just a gamer. Compared with Mr. Zhou, a big real estate businessman, I'm far behind."

Zhou Wenguang's expression froze.

I feel a little unhappy. What do you mean, I'm not even a gamer?

He managed his expression quite well and did not show anything. Instead, he said: "I wonder, Mr. Lin, what do you think of the "Infinite Future" project?"

Lin Mo glanced at Li Huairong, who was pretending to look around at the scenery in the distance. He was the designer of the PVE part of the Overwatch project team.

"It's a good idea, and with the help of such talented people, it will definitely become even more powerful."

Zhou Wenguang became more and more dissatisfied when he heard the sarcasm in his words, but he still kept the purpose of his trip in mind.

"I have put a lot of effort into the "Infinite Future" project, and I am very optimistic about the future of this type of game."

Lin Mo nodded and said calmly: "I admit, the future is indeed bright."

As soon as these words came out, both Li Huairong and Zhou Wenguang, who were eavesdropping, had some joy on their faces.

"To tell you the truth, the company's financial situation is actually not very good. I wonder if Mr. Lin is interested in working together to make this project bigger?"

Lin Mo shook his head secretly.

As expected.

What beautiful words say is quite good. If we work together, the financial situation is not good.

Isn't it just that Naughty Cat is worried that Naughty Cat will be dissatisfied with Dongrong Interactive Entertainment due to the incident between Yang Mingshou and Li Huairong, so he plans to launch a similar game project, right?

Above Dongrong Interactive Entertainment is Zhou Wenguang’s father’s Dongrong Real Estate.

Although it has indeed been poorly managed in recent years, it is not so bad.

To put it bluntly, it means giving up part of the shares in the "Infinite Future" project at a low price.

Give money for a peaceful life.

The best way to prevent your enemies from affecting you is to turn your enemies into friends.

Binding interests can even take advantage of Naughty Cat.

It's like killing multiple birds with one stone, right?

Lin Mo heard this and said calmly: "Since it is a game with a promising future, I am still used to doing it myself."

The new project had already been decided upon when the Titanfall project was being developed.

It was planned to be developed and released in the first half of this year.

There is no such thing as the hotly promoted "Infinite Future" recently, and there is no secret affair between Dongrong Interactive Entertainment and Yang Mingshou.

also the same.

But there is no need to explain these things clearly to the person in front of you.

Zhou Wenguang's face immediately darkened, and he finally stopped pretending.

"Mr. Lin, do you have to be my enemy? I didn't know about Yang Mingshou at first. Out of humanitarianism, I also made a donation."

Lin Mo sneered: "It seems that there is no need to report to Dongrong Interactive Entertainment what game Naughty Cat wants to play, right?"

"In that case, let's wait and see." Zhou Wenguang glanced at Li Huairong and greeted him. He watched the person approach and then said, "Mr. Lin is worthy of being a model in the industry. He has absorbed talents from Electronic Arts and will bring more talents to the industry." He has left many talents to his peers and is a model in the real industry.”

Li Huairong said with a hint of humility: "Thank you for the cultivation you received in Naughty Cat's days. I will repay Mr. Lin with more and better works."

Lin Mo was silent for two seconds, with a strange look on his face.

Don’t you know why this person was fired by me?

There are indeed two tools for making games, and there are at least four hundred tools for that arrogant character.

Character is much stronger than level.

Without knowing it, I always feel that I am the best in the world and think about proving myself all day long.

The problem is at that level, what does it prove?

You don’t think you kidnapped Li Huairong, and am I very angry?

Moreover, he is only the designer of the PVE part of the Overwatch project and has not finished it yet.

The PVP part of the game with skill factors is more difficult to complete. Do you dare to leave it to him?

All I can say is, good luck to you.

Lin Mo said with a smile: "Come on, Mr. Zhou will be even more powerful with the help of Crouching Dragon. It is our duty to rebuild the glory of Watch."

There is no such thing in this world.

These words were still words of praise, and the other party obviously didn't understand them.

Therefore, Zhou Wenguang sneered and said: "The "Infinite Future" project can be implemented so smoothly, thanks to the talents cultivated by Mr. Lin personally."

Li Huairong also said hypocritically: "Thank you Mr. Lin and Naughty Cat for their cultivation."

At this point, there is no need to talk anymore.

Lin Mo walked to his car.

Zhou Wenguang's shouts came from behind: "The promotion of the new game went well, Mr. Lin."

Not long after Dead by Daylight and Standby, Naughty Cat immediately welcomed its third project of the year.

This is the game that was previously announced in the Titanfall project.

APEX Legends.

Looking at the game name on the screen, many people were excited.

In Titanfall, many foreshadowings were laid.

Known to many only as an organization of apex predators from Titanfall, some of whom are employed by the IMC.

But specifically, no one knows what kind of game this is.

Now that they see the true face of Mount Lu, many people are a little surprised.

Battle royale game?

Du Rui asked in confusion: "Mr. Lin, don't we already have a PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds? Is it necessary to make another battle royale game?"

Lin Mo nodded and said: "Not only yes, but also very necessary."

In today’s market, many people are exploring the boundaries of battle royale games.

Various battle royales followed.

Almost all types of themes have to be grafted on.

But grafts come and grafts come and everyone discovers.

Shooting games are the most suitable.

After Overwatch became popular, the element of “skills” became the focus of many people’s attention.

Including the crazy-hyped "Infinite Future", there are countless "chicken version of Overwatch" that are either in production or are about to be released.

Du Rui frowned, confused for a moment.

"But is there any fundamental difference between a battle royale game with skills and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds?"

Lin Mo did not answer directly, but looked at everyone and asked: "I will give you five minutes to find faults with the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds."

When a game is first launched, many shortcomings are not exposed.

As players level up, some problems become real problems.

Du Rui thought for a few seconds and said tentatively: "TTK is too short?"

"The benefits of being Lord Voldemort's Yinbi are too high?"

"Is death too punishing?"

"Half an hour of searching and two minutes of fighting?"

"It's hard to be persuaded to fight."

Many people expressed their opinions one by one.

Until no one in the conference room said anything more.

Lin Mo then said: "What you said all makes sense. Except for some problems that exist in battle royale games, many other problems can be solved with one idea - encourage offense!"

Encourage offense?

As soon as these words came out, many people frowned and pondered.

This can be seen when players watch live broadcasts and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds videos on Station B.

What they saw were mostly cool operations and refreshing steel guns.

When playing, most ordinary players will subconsciously think that Old Yin is like Voldemort.

Because the third-person perspective is the most profitable under the design of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

People who like to punch in the face or use guns often become like Teacher Ma.

Skydiving simulator, jump 20 parachutes in one hour.

Unless the marksmanship is really crushing.

Seeing that no one understood it, Lin Mo continued: "For example, armor no longer reduces damage, but is equivalent to blood volume. It can be upgraded after dealing a certain amount of damage."

Everyone's eyes lit up and they were all impressed by this novel design.

The armor can be upgraded to increase the benefits of firefights, and at the same time, the TTK is extended to ensure that novice players will not be instantly killed if they have nothing to do all day long.

Next, Lin Mo started by talking about each important mechanism of the game in the planning project.

What to keep, what to delete, what to add.

With the detailed explanation of each mechanism, the outline of a new and different sci-fi themed battle royale game gradually becomes clear.

High mobility and multiple fast-moving map mechanisms reduce the boredom of map running.

Armor upgrades encourage offense and reduce boring piss spots.

Forced three-person teams ensure cooperative play is fun.

The re-resurrection mechanism prevents players from feeling the negative feedback of falling into boxes.

The character's strong mobility brings stronger offensive attributes, ensuring that you can get up if you want and run away if you want.

At the same time, it also gives the game a very high operating limit and room for show-off operations.

Du Rui was surprised to find out.

It is different from the skin reskin of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds for a long time in the past.

At first glance they all look like battle royale games, but in fact the core has undergone earth-shaking changes.

As for how the game is promoted.

Since they are both battle royale games, it is inevitable that they will share the number of players with PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

Therefore, this time we will focus on traditional publicity methods, trying to attract some former non-Naughty Cat game players into the game to prevent too much impact on the game ecology of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

At this point, Wang Zichen suddenly raised his hand: "Mr. Lin, the AFC Champions League is starting recently. I know some entrepreneurs who like football and have football clubs. Do you want to try to expand in this direction? This will not affect PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds." "

Lin Mo nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you."

Having said that, the meeting is dismissed.

Several young people left in the conference room joked with each other.

"Good guy, it's okay, Wang Zichen, the rich second generation doesn't pretend anymore, right? It's a showdown?"

"Young Master Wang, please don't forget each other even if you are rich or noble!"

Wang Zichen waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm just a kid from a rich family who likes games and has no future. Don't flatter me. The rich generation like Mr. Lin is the most powerful."
