There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

  Chapter 446 'Joy'

"do not know."

   Facing Mu Wanqing's problem.

  Lin Yao couldn't give a definite answer.

   After all, she is not a god... She really can't guess this kind of future.

"However, according to my judgment, the reason why our "Pokémon Legend: Arceus" was released for the first time this time, and the entire promotional film did not have many eye-catching gameplays, only Pokémon is cute. A little bit of success.

Part of it is because of the hardware. Although Switch is not that expensive compared to other consoles, it is still an electronic product worth 2,000 yuan. Most of those who own consoles are deep gamers. On our console platform, Although the current game lineup is good, it is still not rich enough, and they don't have many choices.

  In addition, we are currently in the early stage of console release, and we have spent so much effort to announce and release the game. The desire of players to try is very strong.

   Another part of the reason is that the reputation we have built over the past few years and the success of the previous **** masterpieces... This trust makes players willing to trust us.

  As for the last reason, it is the quality of the Pokémon game itself. "

Lin Yao flicked her ponytail lightly, and explained: "Simply speaking, it's the hardware cost, the reputation of the producer, and the quality of the game itself is good enough. But if it's a PC... the hardware cost is low, and players have more choices. The producer is not us, so the effect may be greatly reduced.

  This is my opinion, of course, I am not narcissistic..."

  In fact, Lin Yao did not choose to release "Pokémon Legend: Arceus" immediately because of this.

  If it is released with the host, a Pokémon game that is not bright enough to attract attention will be very inconspicuous among a bunch of games that can attract attention in an instant after releasing a promotional video.

   "Legend of Zelda", "Splatoon", "Mario Kart" and even "1-2switch" have too distinctive features.

  If Lin Yao is a player.

  In the absence of any bonus, she saw the starting lineup, and she was more likely to choose "1-2 Switch", which is more meaningful than making money, than choosing Pokémon games...

   But the second time it was released, it was different.

  The previous **** masterpiece was a great success, and players who have played it say it is good.

   And the console is bought now, and the **** masterpiece is over.

  Linmu Studio has announced a new game. Although this game does not seem to be as impressive as the previous **** masterpieces, you can’t afford to buy a console, right? And the producer is Linmu Studio, Pokémon is also very cute, why don't you... give it a try?

   Then the player tried to try and found that "Pokémon Legend: Arceus" was more fun than expected...

  Everything has become logical.

   This is Lin Yao's little thought.

certainly.

  In a way.

  She is also an afterthought now. Although she thought so at the beginning, whether she can succeed or not is actually between the two...

"I understand…"

   After listening to Lin Yao's words, Mu Wanqing nodded slowly.

   It seems that this is indeed the case.

   Host is one thing, but porting to PC platform is another.

   Unless the domestic counterparts also want to be the host.

  But for the mainframe, Mu Wanqing, as the person who has followed the whole process from the establishment of the mainframe project to its release, knows very clearly that it is really not easy to do...

  Linmu Studios are struggling with the mainframe... Because the process of contacting the third party is very difficult, no big third party is willing to make exclusive games for the mainframe of Linmu Studios, and they are not willing to log in on all platforms.

  Because compared to traditional hosts, the performance is too poor.

  Linmu Studio can only rely on the first party for support.

   But the first party... Without Lin Yao, Mu Wanqing couldn't even imagine what would happen to the host.

   It is estimated that players will experience a year-round shortage of games... how can there be the current situation.

   Besides, even if other domestic counterparts can solve the above problems, they are not as famous as Linmu Studio.

  The current fame of Linmu Studio cannot be obtained overnight.

  Unless there is one more Lin Yao.

   Thinking of this, Mu Wanqing looked at the girl sitting on the chair who was holding a mobile phone, and smiled gently.

   "What are you doing?"

  Lin Yao read a message, and just put down her phone when she saw a smile appearing on Mu Wanqing's fair face, she was a little curious.

   "I think you are very powerful." Mu Wanqing said in a low voice.

   "...Of course!" Lin Yao immediately felt relieved when she heard Mu Wanqing's praise, put down her phone, then proudly puffed up her chest, and joked.

   "..."

   Seeing the girl like this, Mu Wanqing felt that her powerful emotions disappeared in an instant. She stretched out her hand to gently caress her towering pride, then couldn't help laughing, and said with a pun: "Okay, I know you are amazing..."

   "...I fight you! Mu Wanqing!"

Lin Yao was stunned for a moment, looked down at her chest, and instantly frowned, stood up from the chair with a brush, lightly grabbed Mu Wanqing's neck, and shook her vigorously: "You did it on purpose! You must It was on purpose! You laughed at me, right? I felt my shoulders were getting sore during this period of time, and I didn’t know what to do, but you still laughed at me!... No, come here!"

  Lin Yao became more and more angry as she talked, and finally dragged Mu Wanqing to the empty meeting room.

  Mu Wanqing: "...?"

   Today's Linmu Studio... is still very lively.

  …

  May 2nd.

  The sales volume of "Pokémon Legend: Arceus" has officially exceeded 2.5 million sets! As a new IP, a new IP whose actual gameplay doesn’t look very eye-catching, finally achieved more than two million sales.

  And during this period of time, sales still maintained a very good growth, and there was no sign of a drop in the slightest.

   It's really a miracle.

  Of course, this is normal for outsiders and Lin Yao.

   If the Pokémon game only has feelings and no fun, it will not become the most profitable IP...

   Actually.

  Many players here have become Pokémon fans.

  Other players have begun to summarize the attributes, attribute restraint, and evolutionary forms of all elves in "Pokémon Legend: Arceus".

   And the more you summarize, the more surprised the players will be.

real.

  They did not expect that under the cute appearance of Pokémon, there is such a complicated and interesting mechanism!

  Linmu Studio didn’t just make a few cute Pokémon.

   Instead, a whole ecology has been created!

   Really amazing!

  Now many players who have become fans and are willing to study the game are even thinking...if Pokémon can fight against people instead of fighting against Pokémon...with the game mechanism, it will feel more interesting!

Yes.

   Players have already begun to predict the content of the Pokémon sequel...

   And Lin Yao was very happy when she saw such a post.

   It is no longer a matter of taking the first step.

   Players have begun to spontaneously look forward to the most traditional Budokan plot in the Pokémon series, which means that Linmu Studio can allow players to experience the most orthodox and authentic Pokémon games...

but.

   It's not urgent now...

  In the first half of the year, the works released by Linmu Studio were not only "Pokémon".

  In fact, there are certain rules for the release of console games.

  Linmu Studio's intensive release of multiple first-party masterpieces in a short period of time is considered very fast.

no way.

  In order to get more users and chips in the coming mobile Internet era.

   Certainly have to pay some costs.

  Next, next month, Linmu Studio will have an "ARMS"...

this day.

  After reading the post, Lin Yao was busy with the production of "Dark Soul" for a long time, then turned around and ran to the console product department on the 14th floor.

  The separate promotional video for "ARMS" came out, but Zhu Nianqiao proposed to make another video about the real machine introduction of the somatosensory gameplay, and specially called Lin Yao, asking her to come and participate.

   "It's probably like this, senior sister, I want to make a real machine battle video to fully introduce the somatosensory gameplay of the ARMS fighting game to the players. The protagonists are you and me... How about it?"

  As soon as Zhu Nianqiao saw Lin Yao, she immediately went up to meet her, explained to her, and carefully asked her opinion.

   "So you're embarrassing me?" Lin Yao glared at her lightly.

   "What is shameful, it is to show charm."

  Zhu Nianqiao said confidently: "The internal staff of Linmu Studio, a boss, and the person in charge of the console game department, personally demonstrate the gameplay, whether it is to attract attention or show the gameplay, the effect will be very good!"

   "..."

  Lin Yao fell silent upon hearing this.

   She had to admit.

  Zhu Nianqiao is right.

  Because "ARMS" is not like "Pokémon", this game is actually a fighting game, but the most important selling point is the sense of motion.

   When it comes to fighting games, the "ARMS" of Linmu Studio has very little advantage.

   Not only did Lin Yao have a small advantage in her previous life, but she also has a small advantage in this world.

   After all, fighting games are a very old genre.

   "ARMS" focuses on creativity and differentiation.

  And this game, if it is promoted personally... the effect will indeed be very good.

   "Is that the decision?"

  Zhu Nianqiao saw that Lin Yao was silent, and cautiously approached her, asking.

   "...Well, but two people are too monotonous."

  Lin Yao thought for a while, then nodded and agreed: "How about this, you, Zhong Xiu and Qi Jianhua, also call up, and take care of both male and female players.

  Change the general process, first introduce the operation, and then insert the game screen and real screen of the battle, um, that's it. "

   "...that's fine."

  Zhu Nianqiao didn't object when he heard the words, but after thinking for a moment, he asked, "But will Qi Jianhua agree?"

   "Where can this game be good? Even if you can't move and catch people, can't you punch?"

  Lin Yao laughed and said: "Besides, there was only one name in the legend about him before, and his appearance was not revealed. What are you afraid of? If it doesn't work, you should try to convince him!"

   "It makes sense... okay!"

  Zhu Nianqiao thought about it carefully, and felt that it made sense, so he turned his head and ran away full of energy.

   Just do what you say.

   Not a trace of sloppy.

   "..."

  Lin Yao smiled helplessly looking at Zhu Nianqiao who was rushing down to call people.

   Really energetic... She wants to borrow some.

  …

   "The Legend of Pokémon: Arceus" just took off.

  After a short period of joy.

  Linmu Studio turned around and devoted itself to the announcement of the next game.

  May 3rd.

  Zhu Nianqiao persuaded Qi Jianhua and Zhong Xiu, and then, together with Lin Yao, followed the staff to a professional studio.

  In fact, it is not difficult to record the video of the actual game play.

   It's better to say that editing is a little more troublesome.

but.

  The recording of this actual game play video was a bit beyond Lin Yao's expectations.

   That was Qi Jianhua's dish, which was beyond her expectation...

  He’s really that special kind of person…who has dishes etched into his DNA…

  He played a somatosensory game of punching, you can believe it... it's outrageous!

but.

  Although there were some bumps in the process, the overall progress was very fast.

  And the four of them had a great time... Mainly Zhu Nianqiao, Zhong Xiu and Qi Jianhua had a good time.

  Lin Yao is fine.

  The main reason is that her partner Zhu Nianqiao is too lively...

  It's too lively...

   The game begins.

  She just punched the master to death, and output to the screen.

  Lin Yao was really afraid that she would turn around and punch herself or the screen when she was excited...

   And her **** fist, there is no trick at all.

  Lin Yao, as a person who played the game "ARMS" in her previous life, can easily dodge attacks with almost no large movements...

   "Take it easy, this is a game, don't look like you want to smash the screen..."

   Another game started.

  Zhu Nianqiao still looks like that.

  Lin Yao finally couldn't bear it anymore and reminded her.

"Eh?"

Hearing Lin Yao's voice, Zhu Nianqiao stopped Wang Baquan, looked at Lin Yao with slightly disheveled hair, and said, "Momentum, senior sister! Doesn't this kind of game depend on momentum? It depends on momentum." Frighten your opponent, and win in the end! Such a soft movement like a senior, what kind of momentum does that have."

   "So you won?"

  Lin Yao questioned her soul.

   "Eh..." Zhu Nianqiao paused.

  Lin Yao shook her head helplessly, then put down the handle in her palm, and stretched out her hand to pin the hair sticking to her small face behind her ears.

   "..."

  Zhu Nianqiao was stunned for a moment, and then she, who was not afraid of anything, felt a little embarrassed: "Senior sister, you are so mature at this time, obviously a woman younger than me is usually a girl..."

"Um?"

"Chance!"

  Lin Yao just issued a doubtful and rising tone of 'hmm'.

  Zhu Nianqiao suddenly yelled coquettishly, turned around suddenly, and punched the character in Lin Yao's game.

  Lin Yao couldn't dodge because she put down the controller.

   Directly OK!

   "Yes! I won! I finally won! Sister!"

   See the hint for victory.

  Zhu Nianqiao immediately raised his hands, turned around and took two steps forward, hugging Lin Yao.

   Very excited.

  Lin Yao was silent for a moment: "...this round doesn't count!"

   "Hey... I just praised senior sister for being mature..."

   "Anyway, the one just now doesn't count!"

   "..."

  Although it is said to be a promotional video.

  But in the end, the four of them played together all afternoon...

   But anyway, the final material was recorded.

   Next, wait for the popularity of "Pokémon Legend: Arceus" to fade and it will be officially released.

   As for whether it will affect the sales of "Pokémon Legend: Arceus", Lin Yao is not worried about this.

   Players don't play just one game.

  May 10th.

  After the sales volume of "Pokémon Legend: Arceus" exceeded three million copies, the sales growth momentum stopped and the curve stabilized.

  Because of the installed capacity.

  If you want to sell more games in the future, you can only grind slowly until the installed capacity of the console increases.

   There is no rush.

  And the players have a thorough understanding of the gameplay and selling points of Pokémon games.

  Most players have cleared the level, and even started the second week.

   And at this point in time.

  Linmu Studio started the large-scale announcement of "ARMS"...

  In addition to the regular promotional videos, there is also a real machine promotional video.

  It is not uncommon to see real machine promotional videos.

  But I can’t hold back the title of the promotional video of the real machine is ‘Linmu Studio High-Level Showdown’…

  Speaking of this, the player will not be sleepy.

  Linmu Studio, a game company, is actually quite mysterious to many players.

  Their production process and the internal situation of their company are becoming more and more attractive as the popularity of Linmu Studio gradually increases, but there is very little relevant public information.

   So many players are very curious.

  This is normal.

   After all, in Lin Yao's previous life, there are many players who are very interested in the game company.

   Gossip is human nature.

   Moreover, it is not uncommon for Linmu Studios to promote games. The most recent one is the announcement of MOBA games.

  The effect is really good.

  So as soon as the real machine video was released, a large number of players couldn't wait to get in.

  The real machine video is a supplement to the promotional video.

   is to introduce more specific gameplay of the game.

   But the whole video and editing are still very cool.

  Iconic logo, the handle slides and clicks.

   Accompanied by dynamic music.

   Battle screens flashed one by one.

   The player's first impression is that it is gorgeous... the same gorgeousness!

  Linmu Studio has really changed a lot! Whether it is the previous **** masterpiece, or the current Pokémon and "ARMS", they all use high-contrast colors, which look very dreamy and cute.

  And the player's second feeling is... the game must be very interesting.

   This is the conclusion that players have reached after playing the previous **** masterpiece and "Pokémon Legend: Arceus".

   And the promotional video did not disappoint them.

  After the game screen.

   Immediately after that, the teaching begins.

  【Fight with extended arms! 】

  【New fighting sports game kicks off! 】

  【Its name—《ARMS》】

  The huge game name appears in the center of the screen.

   Next.

  A pair of hands holding the joy-con appeared on the screen.

  【As long as you hold the joy-con, the fighters in the game will fight with our hand movements. 】

  【Arm forward, it's a punch! 】

  Screen split screen.

   The game screen appears.

  The arm of the fighter in the game is like a spring. Following the right fist of the real player on the right, he swung his right fist and hit his opponent with a bang.

  【If the hand is turned sideways, the ARM will bend! 】

   On the right side of the screen, the real player swings his right fist sideways. In the game, the fighter's arm flies out and hits a beautiful right uppercut.

  【Tilt the joy-con with both hands to move】

  【jump】

  【Sprint】

  【Mix moves, quick footwork】

  【Stretch out your hands, grab the enemy and attack】

  【Put both hands in a figure-eight shape to defend against the opponent's attack】

  【…】

   Like teaching.

  In the first half of the video, the specific gameplay of the game was chewed up and fed to the players.

   Follow the second half of the video.

  In the specific battle mechanism.

  Zhong Xiu and Qi Jianhua appeared.

  The two of them put on a boxing look, standing in front of the screen, shaking from side to side, and punching at the same time.

  The fighters in the game, following the various operations of the two, move around in the fighting arena.

   Looks really cool! very interesting!

  【After the kill gauge is full】

  【Keep attacking, let's make a killing blow! 】

  The real machine video continues.

  The narration explained the killing mechanism.

  The picture was also given to Zhu Nianqiao and Lin Yao who recorded related materials.

  The two also stood in front of the screen.

   It's just a movement.

  Zhu Nianqiao is petite and sweet-looking, she is a very cute girl.

   But in video.

  She fully explained what it means to be quiet like a virgin and move like a rabbit...

  What is a big move!

  That punching speed really makes people want to add Ola Ola's sound effects to her...

  She stood in front of the screen and frantically waved her fists. While controlling the game character to dodge her attack, Lin Yao cautiously dodged to the side in reality, as if she was afraid that Zhu Nianqiao would hit her with her...

   In front of the screen.

  The player was stunned when he saw this scene, and then burst out laughing.

  Who is this guy...so entertaining.

   And next.

  The picture began to gradually become outrageous...

  【Rely on your intuition, use colorful attacks, and fly your opponents away! 】

  The narration sounded again.

  The game screen and the real screen appear together.

  This time it was Zhong Xiu and Qi Jianhua.

   "Super killer!"

   Qi Jianhua next to Zhong Xiu suddenly yelled. Although there was no sound, many players still understood the meaning with their lips.

  But as soon as he yelled the super kill, he staggered in reality and bumped into Zhong Xiu directly...

  Zhong Xiu turned his body and didn't hold the handle, so the character stopped immediately.

  Qi Jianhua took the opportunity to output to Zhong Xiu's character in the game...

   "A realistic super kill, right!? Hahahaha..."

   Live comments below the video.

  The players were laughing like crazy.

  The entire video of the real machine actually introduces the gameplay in detail, but it is really messed up later. Various situations, such as super-killing reality interfere with the opponent, and even Lin Yao is afraid of punching...

   But fun.

it's very funny! There is a feeling of watching a bad friend fight.

soon.

  The promotional video is over.

  And this very different from the serious promotional video, the joyful demonstration video of the real machine instantly became the focus of discussion in the player community.

【Ha ha ha ha! The upper floors of Linmu Studio are so cute. 】

  【The battle between Lin Yao and that girl made me laugh... Lin Yao looked like she was afraid that the other party would hit her, and she looked really scared. 】

  【Those two men are also easy to mess with, by the way, the one who said super kill and almost fell a big **** can't be Qi Jianhua, right? 】

  【I have to say, Lin Yao really understands players... After chatting with her friends, she decided to buy it. 】

  【No friends, but it looks so happy! I feel that I can still exercise, so I bought it! Anyway, you can play online! 】

  【Linmu Studio! There are more promotional films like this! Especially the picture of my wife Lin Yao, please give more! 】

  【Don’t look at the girl next to Lin Yao as if she’s possessed... She’s the actual person in charge of the console game department...】

  【Fuck, is it true or not? Judging by her appearance, does it really mean that the production staff likes games more than us? 】

  【This is too creative! I feel so happy to start the switch, the game keeps going...]

  【…】

  The response to the promotional video was very enthusiastic.

   Inside Linmu Studio, of course I am happy to see this situation.

  Except for Qi Jianhua who was a little concerned when someone said his name... the others were quite calm about being teased by players.

   It is a good thing to mingle with players.

   Thanks to the game's excellent creativity and publicity.

  On May 24th, "ARMS" was officially released.

   Also within a day.

   Breaking through one million sales!

  This is the second game released by Linmu Studio whose sales exceeded one million in a day, besides the Escort masterpiece.

  Those who feel that the mainframe of Linmu Studio is too poor to survive without a third party, really have nothing to say.

  Linmu Studio seems to... really be able to support a host by itself.

  On the night of the release of "ARMS", apart from the topic of the game itself.

   There is another post, which is discussed by many players.

And the title of that post was—[I had so much fun with two consecutive works in two months, I dare not even think about how much joy Lin Yao can bring us as the finale of "Dark Soul" ...]

  (end of this chapter)
