There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

  Chapter 167 Crashed

   "Legendary?"

  After reading the planning book that Lin Yao handed over, Zhong Xiu raised his head and looked at her in surprise.

"Um."

   "Explore the enemy in a small area with itself as the center, and the enemy will be highlighted when it is explored... Isn't this perspective?"

   "Yes, perspective."

   "Ah, this."

   "But when he releases his skills, he will emit a special red light effect, which can be seen by the enemy and will also remind him."

   "Well... stepping into the void, into the safety of the void to quickly move around and avoid all damage, isn't that too bad? And..."

  Zhong Xiu continued to read the legend introduction below, then scratched his head lightly, hesitant to speak.

   I don’t understand why Lin Yao wants to join the complicated legendary system.

  Battle Royale rules are simple.

  But as Lin Yao added many game mechanisms and legendary concepts, it suddenly became complicated.

   “The type of battle royale will be very interesting at first sight, but in the long run, the rhythm is slow, and the playability will gradually decrease as players become familiar with the game.”

  Lin Yao knew what Zhong Xiu was thinking when he saw Zhong Xiu's face, and explained: "The concept of adding heroes, resurrection stations, and pulling people is to increase the playability of the game."

   "Playability..."

Zhong Xiu flipped through the planning book that was just printed out, and at the same time roughly constructed the complete body of the game in his mind, then nodded after hesitating for a moment: "I understand, then follow the instructions in your planning book. The staff responsible for "Breakout" will go out alone, and then the rest will develop platforms and games separately, but because of the increase in game mechanics and the concept of legend, the production cycle of the game will become longer."

"I know, and we are not in a hurry. Let's run the two current online games first. You will polish this game and platform slowly. After we find a new address, our studio will relocate, and I will let Ms. Mu Enrollment expansion, as many people as possible."

  Lin Yao replied softly: "It doesn't matter if you can't do it fast, but you must do it well."

"Okay, I understand, then I started to prepare, the platform side is very troublesome, the engine team is the technical personnel who make the game, it would be difficult to ask them to do the platform, if recruiting people, first recruit the platform side personnel. "

"Row."

  Lin Yao agreed.

   After the two exchanged for a while, Lin Yao went back to continue drawing the original painting of the game legend.

   This is quite simple.

  Because it is an existing game, Lin Yao can almost follow the drawing, and the map is similar.

   At the same time, Linmu Studio.

   On the first day of the new year, I entered a busy state.

  Operation of two online games.

  Follow-up processing of events.

  Game platform construction.

   Production of new games.

   There is also the Greenlight program.

   These things are going on almost simultaneously, and the workload is indeed quite a lot.

  But as Mu Wanqing said, this is the most important year.

   Everyone knows it too.

  And what about Lin Mu Studio, I don’t know whether it’s the good treatment when it was just established, or the temperament brought by Lin Yao at the helm.

  Most of the staff are very enthusiastic about their work.

   Although busy.

   But the efficiency is not bad.

  Just one week.

  The platform already has a shell, and the game has new progress every day with the addition of the engine.

  Everything is proceeding step by step.

   "Done."

this day.

  Lin Yao finished the last planned legendary original painting, then put it aside, and turned her head to look at the game works that were most anticipated in the game awards at DEAS, the annual summit of the digital entertainment industry.

   The original work of Greenlight Project.

   She intends to hand-pick.

  As for her favorite game, there were two before.

  One is a meat pigeon game.

  Lin Yao felt very familiar when she first saw it. When she first watched the demonstration, she always had the feeling of reborn cells.

   She is interested.

   Then there is a pixel-style RPG. Although I don’t know the plot, it seems that the production team has put a lot of effort into the combat system, which is also very interesting.

  And watch the video again this time.

  Lin Yao deliberately chose another game of each genre.

   Almost all game types are covered.

   But they are all independent games and stand-alone games.

no way.

  The most anticipated games at the annual summit of the digital entertainment industry are all independent games, and online games will not participate at all. The only one participating is "Breakout"...

  Although Lin Yao wants to take care of both stand-alone online games, but now the conditions are limited, so she can only do this first.

  If this favor plan is successful, think again.

  She listed the works she was optimistic about, and then called Ms. Mu, asking her to contact these production teams and explain the Greenlight project. If the game has already been released, then let it go.

   But if there is no release, there is interest.

   invited them to participate.

  …

  Yin Tianyu is in a hurry recently.

  Because I have prepared the game for two years, it is almost cold.

   What he is making is a meat pigeon game. In fact, last year, the capital chain was very tight.

no way.

  Although it is only a small team of three people.

   But no matter how small the number of people is, they still have to eat, and his savings have bottomed out...

  At the beginning, he resigned resolutely for his own game, and then he and his friends got together and recruited an artist, and he was ready to chase his dream.

   It went smoothly at first.

   But as time went on, I didn’t get rewarded for a long time.

   Enthusiasm is consumed.

  The production progress began to slow down...

   Then there is the issue of funding.

   Last year's DEAS was his last chance. Originally, he wanted to rely on broadcasting to see if he could attract some investment, but that time the most anticipated game award was taken away by "Breakout".

   While he was looking for investment, most people were not interested in his pixel-style meat pigeon game.

  I think the picture is too simple.

   The gameplay is too simple.

   Moreover, the domestic stand-alone market is too small to give him a chance.

   Then came the new year.

  His friend finally couldn't take it anymore and chose to go to work, and the artist also left because he had no salary...

   Now he is the only one left struggling to support.

  After the year is over.

  He took his work to find people who are willing to invest, or companies who are willing to help him publish and give some support to make the game out.

   But still hit the wall everywhere.

   The picture is not good, the gameplay is single, we are not interested.

   The same responses.

   Someone asked him, your game doesn't even have a mall in the game? How to make money?

  Every time Yin Tianyu heard this sentence, he would vomit blood.

   This is a pixel-style indie game, how can I do an arcade!

   Buyout game! How can I do a mall!

  But when the other party heard about the buyout system, they all shook their heads.

  He also thought about finding an online platform to see if he could put the game on it first, check the pre-order status, or start crowdfunding.

  However, there are no mature platforms in this area in China, and some are not mature.

  So he was a little desperate.

   "...Is it true that I can only give up?"

  Yin Tianyu sat on the chair blankly, looking at the game on the computer screen, a little frustrated.

   At this time.

   His cell phone rang.

Yin Tianyu picked up the phone and looked at it, then sighed, picked up the phone, and said: "If you persuade me to give up, you don't have to say anything. I really don't want to give up for this kind of sake. If it doesn’t work, I will find a job and finish the game slowly, even if no one wants to release it in the end, then I will open it for free download, which can be regarded as fulfilling one of my dreams.”

   "..."

  After listening to his words, the friend was silent for a moment, and then said: "I know, but I am not here to persuade you to give up, but Linmu Studio contacted me."

   "... Forest Studio?"

  Yin Tianyu was slightly shocked when he heard this name.

  The mood is a bit complicated.

   On the one hand, at the DEAS, the online game "Breakout" stole all the limelight, and he actually complained a little.

But on the other hand.

  He also admires Linmu Studio, because he has been making games for more than a year, and he knows how much manpower and financial resources are needed to make several games of Linmu Studio.

  He really admires the innovation of Linmu Studio in terms of gameplay and graphics.

  In fact, most indie game producers think the same as him.

  My perception of Linmu Studio is very complicated.

   "Why are they contacting you? They can't be here to recruit, right? Want you to join the job?"

  Yin Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief, and after a brief shock, he asked.

   "No...they just came to ask if I, our game, would be interested in participating in their Greenlight program."

   "Light of Favor...?"

  …

at the same time.

  Sky fox.

  At present, the largest online game company in China is holding an internal meeting.

   The year is over.

  The sharp issues that had been shelved at the beginning were put on the table again.

  Tianhu's FPS game, in the face of the disastrous defeat of "Breakout", which had almost no resistance, a small studio on the other side, ran the game well, and was also named and praised.

   All these annoyed Li Guangsheng, the boss of Tianhu.

  Although he has watched the game for so many days, he also knows that the success of Linmu Studio has its own unique features.

  However, he also hates iron and steel for the failure of his company's subordinate departments.

   Plus last year's fourth quarter.

  Tianhu’s revenue has dropped significantly compared to last year.

  He was ashamed on the board of directors, holding back his anger and having nowhere to vent it.

  So the Tianhu product department suffered.

  Li Guangsheng scolded a few middle and high-level managers when he caught them. He slapped the table and got angry, which directly made the whole conference room silent.

   "What on earth are you guys doing? The other party can hold a game, so why can't we? Are you all pigs?"

  Li Guangsheng went around and asked questions.

  The people in the meeting room all lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.

   Actually, I can’t say anything.

   After all, you can't talk back.

   He could only let Li Guangsheng lose his temper.

  Li Guangsheng scolded them one by one, finally feeling a little better.

  He took a deep breath, with a dark face, looked at the person in charge of the product department, and asked, "How far has it come to when you were asked to cooperate with the communication department?"

  The person in charge of the product department immediately raised his head and replied, "We are already confirming the details."

   "It's too slow, how long did it take, and I have confirmed that it is so difficult for two departments of a company to cooperate?"

  Li Guangsheng still had a dark face: "Come to me later with the person in charge of the communication department. You won't cooperate. I'll teach you!"

  The person in charge of the product department: “…”

Li Guangsheng continued: "In addition, let the project team below you and the project team on eBay get ready, Tianhu plans to build a game platform, so that all games can be logged in with the account of Tianhu Chat, break through the account barriers, all The project team is all involved for me.”

  This is what he plans to accomplish this year inspired by Mou Feng's words.

really.

  Tianhu Chat's huge users are a waste.

   and its various project teams fight on their own.

   Leave eBay alone.

   How about building a game platform based on Tianhu Chat and its multiple games to completely break through account barriers!

   Then rely on Tianhu's huge players to become the largest game platform in China.

   Change the next three chapters to two chapters, let’s change it to three thousand and one chapters, and then I will try my best to update three chapters every day, if it doesn’t work, just two chapters...
