There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

  Chapter 445 Fascinated

  Just when Wang Qi felt bored.

  The first battle of the game begins...

  It is equivalent to the initial teaching. Before the protagonist enters the team and leaves the village for the exam, there will be a battle to tell the player how to fight with Pokémon.

   But the battle is not real-time, but a very common turn-based battle.

  Wang Qi didn't pay much attention at first.

  But he soon discovered that the turn-based game is not like Linmu Studio's online games, where the characters can move around at will.

  He manipulated the character to walk forward, and then observed the opponent's Pokémon for a while.

It is a Pokémon that looks like an egg, with a bright yellow body. There are five thorns on the top of its head. Most of its body is covered by eggshells. There are some red and blue triangular rings on it. pattern.

   And the name of Pokémon is Bokby.

  Wang Qi manipulated the character to walk over.

  The Pokémon named Poppy seems to realize that the battle distance is too far.

  It suddenly took short, round feet, trotted to Wang Qi's original Pokémon Mu Muxiao not far away, made an emergency stop, and then swayed cutely and gently from side to side...

   "... Can this thing be picked up and run directly?"

  Seeing this scene, Wang Qi didn't intend to try to manipulate his own Pokémon to fight, but instead studied whether he could steal the opponent's Pokémon...

  Because he really wanted to...

   And it turns out that it doesn't work.

  He could only reluctantly click on the moves, and then dealt with the opponent.

   After experiencing the battle.

  Wang Qi feels that although the battle mode is turn-based, he feels that Pokémon are so cute when they attack, and they are also cute when they are attacked.

  Unknowingly, Wang Qi ignited a desire to continue playing.

Then.

   After the battle is over.

  The NPC who was fighting explained to Wang Qi another way to play the Pokémon game, that is to fight with Pokémon!

  Wang Qi can cultivate them. After the Pokémon is upgraded, it can learn more moves and become stronger and stronger.

  Nurture.

   Grade.

  Wang Qi thought of the cute Pokémon, and suddenly, the desire to continue playing became more.

   But he is not sure yet.

  What is the situation of the next game.

   I plan to wait and see again.

  He scratched his head, and according to the game guidelines, he went to the place where he needed to go for the team entrance exam.

   And came outside the village.

  Wang Qi’s heart that had been half-cooled just now, finally warmed up again... The main reason is that although this game can’t let players do whatever they want in the open world like "The Legend of Zelda", or give players an amazing viewing angle from the beginning.

   After all, the themes are different.

   But the scenery of the game's open map is still in line with "The Legend of Zelda".

  Although the fineness is lacking, a large amount of real-time light is matched with layers of distant and near scenes, and the painting style is fresh and clean, which is very pleasing to the eye.

  Actually, when Lin Yao was playing Arceus, she was always speechless to GAMEFREAK, the producer of the Pokémon series!

  The picture is really bad... GAMEFREAK's technical skills are really bad.

   She even once felt that Nintendo should take back the Pokémon IP and do it by itself.

  But after a little attention, she found that this was impossible, at least in the short term.

   The relationship between GAMEFREAK and Nintendo has never been subordinate. Although Pokémon games have always been published by Nintendo, the producer GAMEFREAK has always been an independent company.

  Although Nintendo actually controls the development authorization of the entire Pokémon ip, it can theoretically be taken back from GAMEFREAK. However, ThePokemon Company, the Pokémon brand copyright company, is the major shareholder of Nintendo, but the other shareholder is GAMEFREAK.

   And Nintendo will not want to take it back, after all, no matter how bad GAMEFREAK is... every time a new game is released, it makes money.

  GAMEFREAK executives have been working hard to get rid of their inherent impression of "Nintendo subsidiary" in the eyes of the outside world, and even said, "I hope everyone can remember that GF made Pokémon games"...

  But the effect is minimal, and the two companies involve too many commercial interests and a huge Pokémon industry chain that has already formed.

  These two companies are really deeply bound.

   Fans want Nintendo to make Pokémon games by themselves, which is probably difficult to achieve.

  After all, Nintendo’s own developers are stretched, and it is difficult to provide technical support for GAMEFREAK. Even because of this, there are rumors that GAMEFREAK refuses Nintendo’s technical support, let alone do it by itself.

  Actually, GAMEFREAK also wants to change and make progress.

  But now that the Pokémon game has become a new year’s product, GAMEFREAK is doing it again.

   It seems that the progress is very insignificant... They are particularly bad, like eating their old money.

  Nintendo’s first-party games can be trusted, but sometimes, it really depends on who made them…

certainly.

in this world.

   Lin Yao can’t be as bad as GAMEFREAK. Although the gameplay of Pokémon is relatively simple and unpretentious compared to Zelda, the screen is almost made according to the specifications of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

   Moreover, she did not follow the original monster hunter-style open map, but a complete open world map. Players can go anywhere as long as they go out.

   It is precisely because of this.

  Wang Qi's half-cold heart will warm up again.

   After all, there is "Legend of Zelda" jewels first.

  Standing where he was, admiring the beauty of the game for a while.

  Wang Qi began to go to the Obsidian Plain area where he needed to go for the main mission "Team Entrance Examination" according to the prompts from the human body.

  But he just walked out of the village, within two steps... In the grass not far away, a Pokémon with a brown body, big front teeth, and a lot of curved hair on his body popped out like a mouse.

  It didn't seem to notice Wang Qi, running around on the grassland with a naive expression.

   Almost instinctively.

  The moment Wang Qi saw the Pokémon, he immediately put down his thumb on the joystick and stopped.

   Then, somewhat awkwardly, he switches out the Poke Ball.

   At this time, the system prompt also came out, telling him how to catch and how to throw the Pokémon without alarming the Pokémon...

Yes.

  Lin Yao also changed the somewhat ancient task guidance system at the front of the game to give players more autonomy.

  As for why it hasn’t been changed before.

   is very simple.

  Pokémon game, more than one Arceus.

in the game.

  Wang Qi squatted down, and then, like playing an FPS game, he began to throw the Pokémon at the mouse-like Pokémon.

   The first time, I missed the throw.

   But the mouse-like Pokémon seemed startled, ran to the side, and then stopped again.

  Wang Qi's heart ached when he saw that the Pokemon missed the Pokéball and ran away.

   I am afraid that the other party will run away.

   Just like the beast in "The Legend of Zelda", it disappears immediately after turning around...

   This will see nothing disappear.

  Wang Qi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and moved forward again.

  The poke ball hit the Pokémon's head accurately, a flash of light flashed, and the poke ball took the Pokémon in.

   "Yes!"

  When Wang Qi saw this scene, he waved his fist excitedly.

  He didn't know why he was so excited.

  He felt that the moment he caught the Pokémon was quite cool.

  Wang Qi opened the menu, and checked the newly obtained Pokémon.

  The newly caught Pokémon is named Big Tooth Fox.

Quite cute.

  But it feels almost meaningless...

  Wang Qi continued to rush to the mission location while thinking.

   But walk and walk.

  He stopped again...because he saw another Pokémon that looked like a gray bird.

  Based on the idea of ​​when the task cannot be done, Wang Qi turned his head and went to find the Pokémon.

  He just ran all the way in one direction...

en route.

  He also encountered some collectible items, what kind of ore, fruit.

   And the system prompts him.

  You can release Pokémon to destroy resources.

  Wang Qi gave it a try, and threw his initial Pokémon, Mu Muxiao, at the tree full of fruits.

  The wooden owl escaped from the poke ball, then flapped its wings and attacked the trees.

  With a burst of shaking, the fruit fell down.

   "It really is all based on Pokémon..."

  Wang Qi sighed, completely understanding the buying point of this game.

  The character he controls is just a carrier, and the protagonists are Pokémon!

   And he just finished sighing.

  A river not far away caught his attention again.

  Will there be Pokémon there too?

   Based on this idea.

  Wang Qi controlled the character again and ran towards the river.

   And the game didn't let him down.

  There are Pokémon by the river!

  It was a beige creature with a beige belly, eyebrows, and the tip of the tail. It had a floating pouch on its neck, as if wearing a swimming ring. It was very cute.

   "It's cute."

  Wang Qi was moved the moment he saw it. Although it was because of face, he said it was cute.

   But in fact, he has just one idea now, this Pokémon is his own!

  He squatted down cautiously, slowly approaching...

   Next, Wang Qi ran and grabbed all the way like this.

  The initial sense of boredom is gradually forgotten...

   Once again, I encountered a Pokémon named Swimming Ring Itachi with a floating pouch around its neck, like wearing a swimming ring.

  Wang Qi suddenly thought of the game's battle method, instead of throwing the poke ball directly to catch it, he switched to the poke ball with Mu Muxiao and threw it at the opponent.

  The elf ball landed, and Mu Muxiao jumped out.

   And the Pokémon that was wandering around suddenly turned around.

  Lens close-up.

  It looked at the protagonist, with its short arms stretched back, and its tail raised up, like a fierce protagonist, it let out a howl.

   Next.

   officially entered the battle.

   "..."

  Wang Qi couldn't hold back for an instant... This is too cute!

  Next.

  The battle scene surprised him even more.

  Before he left the village, he hadn't felt much about the battle with Bokby.

   But itachi's move... so handsome!

  【Swimming ring Itachi uses lightning flash! 】

   Comes out with such a prompt.

   Swimming ring ferret turned sideways, then disappeared instantly, appeared in front of Mu Muxiao, and gave it a tail.

   Wooden Owl was hit and immediately took a step back...

  The performance of the battle has that kind of animation feeling, whether it is the special effects of hitting or the way of expressing teleportation, it is very similar.

   After hitting Swimming Ring Itachi to half health, it was Wang Qi's turn, and the system prompted him to try throwing a poke ball to subdue the opponent.

  Wang Qi immediately switched out the elf ball, and then threw it towards the opponent.

  The Poké Ball fell, immediately put the swimming ring Itachi in it, bounced on the ground, fireworks bloomed in the air, and it was a success!

   "It feels a bit interesting... Interesting!"

  Wang Qi glanced at the instructions of the mission, and then glanced not far away, thinking that the mission can wait...

  Because he suddenly saw a new Pokémon...

  …

   It’s not just Wang Qi.

  Whether it is an overseas or a domestic player, the first impression of the performance and plot direction of the game is that it is ordinary.

   But just get out of town.

   These players are without exception.

   It all fell quickly...they started running around hunting Pokémon.

  Because for players, this feeling of catching pets is really fascinating.

   Players are constantly discovering new Pokémon... fascinated by their different skills and cute appearance.

  And as long as the player is interested in Pokémon.

   Then, the gameplay will no longer be ordinary...

  Because different Pokémon not only have different appearances, but also have different skills, and there are also mechanisms such as restraint and evolution.

   That is to say.

   To cultivate a powerful enough Pokémon is by no means a matter of overnight.

   Don't feel that the gameplay of cultivating pets is boring, and that it is not attractive enough for players.

  In fact, this kind of cultivation method is very lethal to players!

  For example, in online games that domestic players are most familiar with, turn-based online games, the pet system has always been one of the most important systems.

  Most of the pets in online games also involve cultivation elements...

  Although most of the pets in online games... need krypton gold.

   But it also proves that players who develop this kind of gameplay are very acceptable.

certainly.

  Currently, players probably have little understanding of the complex evolution, skills, attribute restraint and other mechanisms of Pokémon in the game.

  Most players are still in the stage of trying to catch their favorite Pokémon.

   But this also means that the next game content is enough for players to explore slowly.

   Simply put, it is easy to start, but difficult to master!

  Games allow players to invest time and then impress them with IP...

certainly.

  Although the game has complex evolution and attribute restraint mechanisms, it does not mean that light players cannot find fun in this game.

  Many girls don’t know how to study the complicated mechanisms, but it doesn’t prevent them. After leaving the village, they are attracted by various Pokémon, and then run around, trying to catch more beautiful and rare Pokémon.

   Then when you have nothing to do, throw all the Pokémon out, and make them play if you have nothing to do.

   Actually.

  Many female players, after playing "Pokémon Legend: Arceus", feel that this is the most friendly game for female players in Linmu Studio!

  In fact, this is also the biggest advantage of "Pokémon Legend: Arceus", of course, it can also be said to be a disadvantage.

   Compared with the orthodox works, "Pokémon Legend: Arceus" has changed the traditional series of dark thunder and encounter monsters, made the rhythm lighter, and greatly simplified the cultivation system...

   This makes the game very easy to learn.

  Of course, the taste of traditional Pokémon games is not so strong.

But this is also the reason why Lin Yao chose the game Arceus as the starting point of Pokémon, because here, "Pokémon" is a new IP, a new IP without any bonus, and directly restores the most authentic Pokémon Kemeng game, the risk is really big...

   Moreover, although "Pokémon Legend: Arceus" has simplified a lot of things, there is no doubt that it is fun!

  …

   That night.

   "Go! Eevee!"

  Wang Qi roared.

  Anyway, he lives alone, and he is not afraid of shame...

   As for his notion that the game was mediocre... long gone.

   Tell the truth.

  The initial game experience is really average, and it feels very ordinary.

   But when he meets Pokémon in the wild, it really feels like everything is different!

  In the entire open world, there are many types of Pokémon, and their personalities and appearances are very diverse.

And these Pokémon are really not sluggish at all. When they encounter players, they will even react accordingly. Will actively challenge players.

  Kanda Duck would even stand on the shore and laugh at Wang Qi when he fell into the water...

  It seems that these Pokémon are living beings, not NPCs waiting to be tamed by the protagonist.

  This feeling is really great!

   And when you catch your favorite Pokémon...it's so cool!

   And Pokémon are not just cute.

   Their skills are also very handsome, and Wang Qi did a little research and found that there is a seemingly complicated evolution mechanism and restraint mechanism among Pokémon.

  Although he hasn't fully figured it out yet.

   But he really gets better and better as he plays!

  He originally thought this game was very ordinary, but after seeing the Pokémon in the wild for the first time, he immediately fell into the trap.

  Fully open map plus collection elements.

  He is completely immersed in the process of capturing and cultivating Pokémon, unable to extricate himself.

  Oh, there is also a list of materials for different props, and the gameplay of going to various parts of the world to find materials.

   is pretty awesome too.

  Although this game is not as close to perfection as "The Legend of Zelda".

  But in this game, Wang Qizhen experienced a completely different fun from other works of Linmu Studios... completely different!

  And there are not a few players who have the same idea as him...

  …

  The first day of unlocking "Pokémon Legend: Arceus".

  There are actually quite a few related topics on the forum.

   But in the beginning, most of the posts said the game was mediocre...

   It wasn't until three hours later that some complimenting posts came out.

   And the first to come out to speak for this game is the female player.

  Pokémon-type games are suitable for all ages. Whether you are a middle-aged person or a child, as long as you are a player who likes pets, you can find fun in this game.

   And for girls, Pokémon games are simply killer…

   This game is really easy to get started! For female players.

   There is no complex mechanism of other games, no plot of bitterness and hatred.

   The gameplay of the game turned out to be to collect cute pets!

   Is there a better game than this?

   And next.

As more and more hunks come out of the village, come to the open world outside, see all kinds of Pokémon, and get a little touch with the various gameplay mechanisms of Pokémon games hidden under the cute appearance of Pokémon... also come out for the game Speak!

   "I suspect that I have fallen for Lin Yao's evil spirit! Really, when I play this game, I am so excited that I caught a rare Pokémon..."

   "It's fun, woo woo woo, it's really the most girl-friendly game of Linmu Studio, Pokémon is really too cute."

"I have to say, I really thought the game was very ordinary at the beginning, but as I played it gradually, I only admired it. This feeling is similar to running to the bamboo forest to catch the unicorn fairy when I was a child. It's really great. Linmu Studio ! Really never disappoints!"

   "And this game is not only cute! I don't know if you have noticed, but the evolution system of Pokémon is actually very interesting!"

   "A lot of Pokémon can be put into the pasture, Lin Yao really understands, not only to catch, but also to be raised by us, right?"

   "The purest fun of the game... I am convinced, Linmu Studio."

   "You really can always trust Linmu Studio! Now I am looking forward to the finale of "Dark Soul"!"

   "..."

   Today.

  Because of the gradual increase in the praise posts on the forum, the sales of "Pokémon Legend: Arceus" began to climb again.

   And it will soon exceed two million.

  Domestic sales are part of it, and overseas sales actually account for a higher proportion.

  Because overseas players... like this game more.

  Many colleagues who were looking forward to Lin Yao's new game were stunned.

   No way...

   It’s not that they haven’t bought games to play, and they also know that those cute Pokémon are indeed attractive.

   But it's going to sell two million copies, isn't it outrageous?

even.

  Many colleagues really want to go on their own.

   They play this kind of game, it really works!

   After all, now two million players have purchased the game, which means that there are at least two million players in this market... and it can be exported overseas.

  Follow the trend! Make a similar game! It has become the idea of ​​many colleagues.

certainly.

  Whether it will be successful or not is hard to say...

  …

the next day.

  Linmu Studio.

  Lin Yao immediately breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the detailed sales data of "Pokémon Legend: Arceus".

  Although, the Pokémon here is not as brilliant as in the previous life, so don't even think about selling tens of millions.

   But considering the current installed base of consoles, this is really a good start.

   A good start to the first half of the year!

   And next, Linmu Studio also has "ARMS" and "Dark Soul"...

  Of course, the significance of the good results of the first generation of the Pokémon game is not only about money, but also means that the IP of Pokémon has started smoothly.

  As long as it starts, it will have a chance to become a long-term cash cow if it operates well in the future.

   Moreover, in the era of mobile Internet, combining Pokémon IP with augmented reality AR technology...seems to be quite profitable.

but.

  It’s still early to think about this, and there is still a long way to go for IP to really form a big influence...

"Thanks for your hard work."

  Lin Yao stopped her wandering thoughts, and handed the report back to Mu Wanqing.

   "You are."

  Mu Wanqing shook her head lightly.

   This time the Pokémon were all designed by Lin Yao, and none of them were outsourced. This is also the main reason for the rapid progress of the game.

  It was really hard work.

  Lin Yao said solemnly: "The hard work now is to make money lying on the golden mountain in the future, it is worth it, it is worth it..."

   It is really a golden mountain.

  If Pokémon can wake up.

   "..."

  Mu Wanqing looked at the serious girl, a little dumbfounded.

She shook her head slightly, then changed the subject, and talked about another thing: "I heard from some colleagues in the industry that it seems that some companies want to imitate and launch similar games after seeing the current achievements of Pokémon. Will this make a difference?"
