There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

  Chapter 164 Current Status of Online Games

   "Lin Yao, we are going to have a meeting to summarize last year's work, will you have time to attend?"

  Mu Wanqing's voice awakened the thoughtful Lin Yao.

   "When?" Lin Yao withdrew her gaze from the screen and turned her head.

   "In half an hour."

   "Then I'll go there later." Lin Yao thought for a while, and felt that it was really unreasonable for her boss not to attend.

   "Okay, then I will call you."

  Mu Wanqing nodded, then glanced at the document on Lin Yao's screen, and asked curiously, "What is this, a new project?"

   "Well, it's a new project, but it's just a prototype, and there are still many problems to be solved."

  Lin Yao nodded, then glanced at Mu Wanqing, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Miss Mu, I have a question for you. What do you think our studio... needs to do next?"

   "The most important thing to do?"

Mu Wanqing thought for a while, and then said: "Consolidate our own advantages, maintain the two successful games so far, make game derivatives like Breakout Challenge, and then use the benefits brought by successful games on this basis Expand business, accumulate technology, continue to make better games, or invest in other fields...Of course, it would be better if we can use the huge player base of our games to do something, but gamers can only continue to invest in games. Kung Fu, we do other projects, they may not buy it, so in the end, we still have to return to the game itself and its derivatives.”

   "Hmm... what do you think of gaming platforms?"

  Lin Yao asked a question.

  Mu Wanqing was slightly taken aback, and then said: "Game platform? If we build a game platform according to the size of our current game, and then have a built-in forum for players to discuss and communicate, it would be really good."

   "What if we do distribution?" Lin Yao continued to ask.

Mu Wanqing shook her head: "It's a bit difficult, our game players are quite fixed, and now most of the producers of agency publishing business will choose Tianhu, because they are big enough and have a special department in charge. And our studio It is small in size, and its current reputation outside is mainly based on technology, so suddenly it is said that it will be an agency distribution business, and I feel that it is not attractive enough.”

  Lin Yao knew that Ms. Mu had misunderstood. What Ms. Mu was talking about was the online game agency model.

   But she was in no rush to correct.

  Because Mu Wanqing said that Linmu Studio is good at technology, so she thought of something.

  She bowed her head in thought for a moment, then suddenly picked up the notebook beside her seat and opened it.

   There is a page in it.

   When "Breakout" was unveiled at DEAS, the annual summit of the digital entertainment industry, Lin Yao watched the live broadcast and noted the interesting independent games announced by other developers.

   Most of them are meat pigeons.

   But there are also a small number of other types of games.

   Lin Yao has paid attention to this part of the game.

  A few parts have been released.

   But most are still in conception.

  Because "Breakout" was a sudden force back then, it almost grabbed all the attention.

   There are a lot of games that have not been paid attention to, and there is a lack of funds, so they are all difficult to produce.

   "How could I forget these people."

  Lin Yao muttered to herself, then raised her head, looked at Mu Wanqing, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Mu, you gave me a good idea."

"what?"

  Mu Wanqing pushed her glasses, a little puzzled.

   "You will find out after the meeting."

  Lin Yao turned around again, and wrote the word "green light" under the software document.

  …

   Half an hour later.

meeting room.

  The core staff of Forest Studio gathered together to start the first meeting of the new year.

  The first issue is moving.

  With the launch of "Breakout" and the holding of the Breakout Challenge, the scale of Linmu Studio has expanded to a certain extent. The location of the original second development department of eBay is obviously unable to meet the demand.

   Now everyone feels it's time to start over in a new location.

  Lin Yao also thinks, but after discussion and discussion, there are really few suitable places.

  Finally, Lin Yao thought about it and felt that it was necessary for her to ask Lin Xi. After all, Forest Financial Holdings was engaged in real estate, so this matter was temporarily skipped.

  The second topic is to report last year's achievements.

  Although Linmu Studio listens to the name, it seems that the scale is not large.

   But the revenue created last year is really impressive.

"As of now, the studio's game revenue is about 780 million, of which the earliest operation "Fantasy OL" provides more than 500 million revenue, and "Breakout" is due to the impact of the Breakout Challenge, in the last two Monthly efforts, the Spring Festival boxes and sticker capsules contributed more than 200 million in revenue..."

  Mu Wanqing reported the current revenue data of the studio's games.

  Hearing the number she uttered, everyone present fell silent immediately.

   This is not a small number.

   You must know that the financial report of Tianhu in the same period shows that the game revenue is only more than 6 billion...

  Lin Yao is also very satisfied. In half a year, the revenue generated by the studio, even if she got her previous life, it would not be a shame.

  Although it is drizzle compared with the Pig Factory and Goose Factory, at least it can be ranked in the top 30 among many online game companies.

   Already pretty good.

After Mu Wanqing reported the results of the studio, she paused, and then said: "In addition, I have something to tell you, according to the data mentioned in the semi-official online game report, after the game ban is completely lifted , In just one year, the number of online game users in China has broken through from one million to forty million, and according to estimates, online game users may officially exceed 100 million this year!"

   "So the next year, it's important."

   Heard this.

  The people in the conference room were even more surprised than they had just heard about the results of Linmu Studio.

  ...Is this too exaggerated?

  Lin Yao took it for granted.

  History is similar.

  In June 2006 in her previous life, how many online game users were there? More than 30 million.

   But by the end of 2007, there were 120 million online game users!

  Online games, before the rise of mobile games, were indeed a promising industry, and this industry had a golden period for a while.

  The previous life was the popularization of the Internet.

  This is probably the end of the game ban.

   "So everyone, come on."

  Lin Yao replaced Mu Wanqing and summed it up: "The online game industry will usher in a period of rapid user growth. Whether we can seize the opportunity depends on the next year."

   "Yeah, it depends on this year whether you can do Fan Tianhu."

  Zhong Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured.

  Lin Yao: "..."

  The rest of the studio is much more ambitious than her.

  When I heard about the period of rapid user growth, my first thought was to kill Fantianhu.

   Not like Lin Yao.

  Lin Yao just wants to be number one in the country...

   "Then what should we do in the next year? Break through the biochemical model change? New games?"

  After Zhong Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Lin Yao eagerly.
