There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

  Chapter 190 Rejection

   "Bushnell stars II?"

  Linmu Studio.

meeting room.

  Monthly meeting in June.

  Lin Yao was a little surprised when she heard Mu Wanqing's awkward name.

  Mu Wanqing nodded: "Well, have you heard of Bushnell? That game console company, this is the name of the new generation console they are planning to launch."

   "... Then this is too difficult to remember."

Lin Yao was a little helpless. It was the same as the name of Juhard’s mainframe. The most prominent thing was that it was difficult to remember. Until now, she would confuse the names of Juhard’s several mainframes. Launched behind the host.

  On the other hand, Sony is easier to remember.

  PS12345.

   "It's really hard to remember..."

  Mu Wanqing deeply agrees: "But the name is not the focus of our attention. The point is that they want us to port the new game "BattleRoyale" to their game consoles, and then make controller adaptations, and it will be exclusive to their consoles..."

   "Play FPS with controller?"

  Heard Mu Wanqing's words.

  Zhong Xiu, Zhu Nianqiao and others were shocked instantly.

   "Can this kind of game be played with a controller?" Zhong Xiu complained dumbfounded.

   "They are different from us, it is still possible to play with a controller."

  Lin Yao was not too surprised.

   This is a matter of operating habits.

  It’s okay for domestic players to use the controller to play action games, but it’s a disaster to play FPS games. Just rely on the thumb to move the joystick, and the crosshair will fly instantly...

   Often a player who plays well with a keyboard and mouse becomes disabled when he uses a controller.

  But it is different in Europe and the United States. Many players have been rubbing the controller since they were young, and many players even use the controller directly as a keyboard and mouse.

   Not only can you use the joystick to simulate the movement of the keyboard and mouse, but you can also aim precisely.

   Even many players who play FPS smoothly with keyboard and mouse can also play smoothly with controllers.

   This is really amazing for domestic players.

   It can be regarded as a difference in national conditions.

   "I can't understand." Zhong Xiu shook his head and complained.

   "I don't understand either."

Lin Yao smiled, she also belongs to the kind of person who can’t find North when playing FPS with a controller: “However, increasing the adaptation of the controller is indeed what we need to do now, after all, many overseas players are still accustomed to controlling the controller, and they have not received it before. Do you have a lot of feedback? You said that you hope to increase the adaptation of the controller on the PC side, and now it is an opportunity.”

Speaking of which.

  She turned her head and looked at Mu Wanqing: "Miss Mu, they should have mentioned the exclusive conditions, right?"

   "Well, a sum of cash will be provided, but our game has been launched on the PC side, so it is not as much as an exclusive game in the true sense."

   "That's okay, take the other party's money to transplant the game and do controller adaptation."

  Lin Yao thought for a while, then looked at Zhong Xiu again.

   "But the problem is, I don't know how to use the controller." Zhong Xiu smiled wryly.

   "Recruiting people, can't we not recruit a producer who can use controllers in China?"

  Lin Yao said directly: "Moreover, multiple sales on multiple platforms are actually quite good, and if it doesn't work, we can get some cash. In addition, we can also accumulate some experience."

   It does take some experience.

  Now the game platform is the focus of Linmu Studio, but who knows what will happen in the future, if the game will be released on all platforms in the future?

"All right…"

  Zhong Xiu pondered for a moment, felt that it made sense, and nodded in agreement.

"in addition."

   Seeing that Lin Yao had finished explaining, Mu Wanqing immediately added: "Lin Yao, they also want us to make a brand new exclusive game for them, as an **** masterpiece for their new platform."

   "...Exclusive game? Escort masterpiece?"

  Lin Yao frowned slightly, then shook her head immediately: "Reject this, it's unnecessary, we don't have the energy for the time being."

   It is really unnecessary.

  Now the exclusive game here will work though.

   But exclusivity does somewhat limit the game's audience, which is not a very good idea, even if it earns the studio a lot of cash.

And in the future, exclusive games will not work. Except for the first-party production companies, many third-party production companies are unwilling to sell their games on only one game platform, because the game can only be popular among the player groups by logging on to multiple platforms at the same time. Create more topics and attention, thereby increasing the popularity of the game and further consolidating the game audience.

  Unless... the exclusive platform really gives a lot.

  In Lin Yao's previous life, even many first-party production companies gave up monopoly.

  For example, OnlyOnPlayStation, which has become a joke...

  The golden signboards of the PS3 period have all been removed. It can only be said that the times will indeed change.

  The current situation of Linmu Studio is indeed not suitable for exclusive use.

To know.

  Now the game platform of Linmu Studio is just starting, and to make exclusive games is to dig a hole for yourself.

"I understand."

  Mu Wanqing also knew Lin Yao's consideration, so she quickly agreed.

   "Wait, Ms. Mu, although we don't allow them to make exclusive games, let's ask them if they are willing to accept "Journey" to land on their console game platform."

  Lin Yao suddenly thought of something again and said.

   "Journey", the key game of the Greenlight project in Lin Yao's mind, is in full swing.

  For this game, Forest Studio not only provided support, but was even a co-producer. Forest Studio has the right to decide the game release.

   As for this game, Lin Yao is quite confident.

  If you can go online on the host platform, the results should not be too bad.

"OK."

  Mu Wanqing nodded again in agreement.

   "Then the last proposal is next, we are going to relocate everyone."

Lin Yao ended the topic of the console, and turned to talk about the relocation issue that she had been procrastinating for a long time: "The date is set on the tenth of this month, everyone, get ready, pack the things that need to be packed, and then the responsible parties for the three games will move." People, make corresponding contingency plans.”

"Um."

  Everyone present nodded.

   Next.

Zhu Nianqiao suddenly smiled, and said with a little excitement: "I can finally leave this poor place! Senior sister, you don't know that every day at work, you can meet people from eBay Yaoshi Software, and they all look at us. It's all weird, I've had enough."

   "Strange gaze?"

  Lin Yao was a little surprised, but she didn't notice this.

  After she got off work, she was either chatting with Mu Wanqing, or running very fast... who pays attention to other people's eyes.

   "Be envious."

  Zhong Xiu said with emotion, "After all, we were still colleagues last year, but this year, everything seems to have changed."

yes.

  Everything has changed.

  After eBay was acquired by Tianhu, the situation is not only not better than before, but even worse.

   After all, it was raised by the stepmother.

   On the other hand, Linmu Studio has made great strides all the way, and now there are host game platforms to discuss cooperation.

  Ebay Yaoshi Software employees can imagine how complicated the mood is.

  It's almost sour...
