There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

Chapter 485: history is boring

Chapter 485 historical materials are boring

"What's the sign?"

Mu Wanqing was a little puzzled when she heard Lin Yao's words.

"Suddenly I became worried about the future." Lin Yao replied with a strange expression.

"..."

Mu Wanqing tilted her head in confusion, a rare cuteness.

"…never mind."

Lin Yao put down the publicity plan book on her lap, and shook her head lightly.

Although, I heard this news just after I decided to do MMORPG. I don’t think it’s very auspicious, but it doesn’t actually have a big impact.

Lin Yao doesn’t know if Tianhu really believes that the decrease in MMORPG income is a problem of point cards, as they said, or really thinks that MMORPG can’t keep up with the times.

But in Lin Yao's view, these two arguments actually have problems.

The sociability of the MMORPG game type, in Lin Yao's opinion, is more powerful than the turn-based system!

In addition, as long as it is an MMORPG with a good plot, the sense of substitution is extremely strong.

This also leads to extremely loyal players. It is common for players to play an MMORPG for four or five years.

In Lin Yao's previous life, turn-based games could find their place in 2022, so it is even called MMORPG.

Even in 2020, "World of Warcraft" can surpass League of Legends in monthly revenue, which is proof!

There are feelings in it, and there are reasons for long-term operation.

But to be honest, in this world, at this time point... MMORPG really can’t keep up with the times.

MMORPGs are truly out of date.

In other words, the time when the entire end game market will suffer a catastrophe has not yet arrived.

Wait until the mobile Internet era comes and mobile games become popular.

is the worst time for PC games.

What's worse is that no one can stop this, Lin Yao can't do it, and Linmu Studio can't do it either. This is not a situation that can be changed by releasing a few games. This is the general trend to some extent.

If in the era of mobile Internet, mobile games are coming to maturity and choose to do MMORPG, then Lin Yao will be pessimistic.

But now, not yet.

Also, then again...

Although, in the era of mobile Internet, after mobile games mature, the situation of end games is a bit bad...

But this doesn't mean that PC games are really going to die, it's just not as brilliant as before.

The game experience brought by the terminal game is often irreplaceable.

It is too early to say anything about elimination.

Tianhu’s MMORPG income has decreased, the biggest possibility, Lin Yao thinks, is because of the impact of Linmu Studio...

After all, there are only a few popular online games. Online games are not only easy to lock the staff, but also easy to lock the players.

This is the best time to enter MMORPG.

No matter how late it is, it is estimated that the era of mobile Internet is coming.

and…

"If you consider the derivative gameplay of "World of Warcraft", such as "Hearthstone" that can also run on mobile phones, the most successful CCG card game, it will never fail..."

Lin Yao lowered her head slightly, and suddenly said something to herself.

""World of Warcraft"?"

Mu Wanqing vaguely heard such a word.

"Hmmm... our MMORPG."

Lin Yao raised her head, handed the publicity plan on her thigh to Mu Wanqing, and then said with a smile: "We are about to enter the arena, making this type of game that cannot keep up with the times."

"what!?"

When Mu Wanqing heard the words, she immediately let out a voice of surprise.

"Don't worry, it will succeed, MMORPG is not so unbearable."

Lin Yao sat on the chair, patted Mu Wanqing's belly lightly, comforted her, then turned around again, ready to continue coding the story of "World of Warcraft".

Although the matter of Tianhu's financial report, after thinking about it, Lin Yao finally felt that the problem was not a big one.

However, there is indeed a sense of urgency rising...

Can't delay for too long.

At the latest, "World of Warcraft" will be launched next year.

After all, the new mobile communication technology is commercially available, and there is not much time left...

…

Time, soon to mid-January.

"Call of Duty" popularity and online numbers finally stopped growing.

remained in a relatively stable range.

But after the heat stabilized, it was still terrifying.

Because of "Call of Duty", most FPS, that is, games of the same type, choose to avoid its edge and change the release time one after another.

Even other different types of games are affected.

But after all, the types are different, and the impact is not too big.

So after the popularity of "Call of Duty" stabilized.

The new masterpiece has also begun to be announced.

The fight between Linmu Studio, Gilber Company, and the gods of Dreamland is over.

Even Linmu Studio itself has started the announcement of the next game.

On this day, they finally confirmed the last game to be released before the New Year.

"Di Renjie"!

February 6th! Official sale!

New Year’s Eve sale!

This day is really too friendly for most domestic players. Whether they are community animals or students, it is a holiday at this time, and the Spring Festival has not yet arrived, so there is plenty of time to play games.

This is really... the release time of a new game that many players dream of.

"Sure enough, Linmu Studio understands me! New Year's Eve!"

"Here it comes, the 3A masterpiece of domestic themes is chosen to be released at the time of the Spring Festival, and it is still the work of Linmu Studio!"

"I'm really looking forward to it! The final promotional video will be released soon, right?"

"What kind of story will it be? Come in February."

"I'm not very interested in FPS. What I'm looking forward to most are the other two games from Linmu Studio! And the one I'm most interested in is the domestic theme "Di Renjie"!"

"This January, I can't stay any longer!"

"..."

With the continuous blowing of the forest studio marketing department.

The player's expectations have been raised.

At least the expectations of domestic players are raised very high.

And overseas.

Because of the excellent performance of "Call of Duty", many players who have long remembered the name of Linmu Studio also paid a lot of attention to the new work released by Linmu Studio after "Call of Duty".

This is the chain reaction.

Linmu Studio used a series of excellent games to create a signature, and finally broke out after the release of "Call of Duty".

Word of mouth has been completely stable, and it has directly become another oriental game manufacturer and publisher remembered by European and American players besides those old Japanese manufacturers.

Impressive!

So Lin Yao's worries at the beginning seemed unnecessary.

"Di Renjie" was not swallowed up by the popularity of "Call of Duty", but took advantage of the Dongfeng, once again at home and abroad, received far more attention than other games.

Those games that escaped Call of Duty and are only now on sale, just breathed a sigh of relief.

Then one announces the game.

I found that the most discussed by players was still Linmu Studio... I was about to vomit blood.

Why is it Linmu Studio again! Lingering, right? ?

And under the full attention.

Linmu Studio has confirmed the release time of the final promotional video of "Di Renjie" and started a large-scale publicity...

…

"I'm coming."

The capital, a community.

A youth who looks very young is gearing up for the release of the final promotional video of "Di Renjie".

His name is Yi Wenwen, and he was born in a scholarly family. The three generations of his family are all teaching staff.

Moreover, half of them teach history... His father is a famous history professor, and even personally participated in the compilation of the latest high school history textbooks.

In such an environment, under the influence of whispers and eyes, Yi Wenwen has been particularly interested in history since he was a child, and he has also striven for it. He has been a child of someone else's family from the neighbors since he was a child... With excellent grades, he is well-behaved and obedient, and he studied at Beizitou University Department of Chinese.

It can be said to be perfect.

In the eyes of the neighbors, this child is the best material for them to beat their own children.

Universal comparison object.

The only thing the neighbors might mind is that such a person also likes games...

Yes.

Yi Wenwen likes games very much.

It's not a whim, but I have liked it since I was a child.

And his hobby has continued until now.

But probably because of the influence of his family, the type of games he likes, from the pursuit of simple excitement at the beginning, gradually turned into games with historical elements.

As for this type of game, aside from the online games that he can’t spend too much time on, there is only one option left, overseas stand-alone games.

But one or two meals of Western food is fine, and he really can’t stand it...

So he has always hoped to have a domestic game company that can make games with historical themes.

But what a pity.

Not all the time.

until.

Linmu Studio was born.

He had rekindled hope.

And the "Civilization" of Linmu Studio has become his favorite game. Although in his opinion, there are a lot of bugs in it, and he even publicly complained about the cultural attainments of Linmu Studio, but the game deconstructs civilization. The method is really interesting.

Back then, Lin Yao made an appearance at the Global Game Awards, revealing a new game.

When he saw "Call of Duty", he didn't have any waves in his heart.

But when he saw the broadcast of "Di Renjie", he jumped up directly.

Di Renjie? Is that Di Renjie?

His first thought was this, and after seeing the character costumes in the broadcast, he jumped up again.

Looking at the clothes, it is indeed Wu Zhou!

Then.

This game directly became his most anticipated game.

Although, I feel that from a historical perspective, this game will definitely have many slots.

However, Yi Wenwen can still understand this, and it does not prevent him from looking forward to it.

After all...Linmu Studio at least has the ability and courage to do it, while other domestic manufacturers don't even have the ability and courage to do it.

at noon.

Vaporwave game platform home page.

The "Di Renjie" promotional video was released on time.

Yi Wenwen was shocked immediately, and was just about to click on...

Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

"Have you found a girlfriend? Sitting in front of the computer every day."

"..."

Yi Wenwen's mouth twitched, and he turned around.

Behind him stood a middle-aged man who looked very similar to him.

Looks in his fifties, not angry.

"You, you..." The middle-aged man walked towards Yi Wenwen and started to move his skills forward.

"Stop, I'll talk about it later, after I finish watching the promotional video."

Yi Wenwen quickly interrupted his father, saying: "Otherwise, it would be hard for me to pretend not to see the pack of cigarettes you hid on the bookshelf, and I might slip the tongue in front of your wife..."

"...brat."

The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback, then came behind Yi Wenwen, smiled and slapped him on the back of the head.

Yi Wenwen saw that he didn't seem to be using his marriage urging skills anymore, so he smiled and clicked on the video directly.

The video is in the middle of loading.

Yi Wenwen's father also pulled over the chair, sat down, and asked, "Game?"

"Um."

Yi Wenwen nodded.

A large part of the reason why he likes games has to do with his father. His father is quite open-minded, and he is one of the earliest people in China who came into contact with the Internet, so he is not against games.

After all, he has a wealthy family, and he himself grew up playing games all the way.

So, apart from strictly guarding against addiction, he doesn't really mind his son playing games.

But sowing melons reaps melons, because of enlightenment, the relationship between father and son is quite good.

Even… played games together.

"The forest studio that made "Civilization"?"

Yi Wenwen's father glanced at his son's expression, guessed something, and said with a smile: "Even Wu Zetian's name is Wu Zhao's forest studio?"

"Actually, they can't be blamed, and it's not like they don't know."

Yi Wenwen smiled and defended Linmu Studio: "I complained about this when I posted a post, and Linmu Studio replied to me. Although I don't know who replied, they at least gave the answer, saying yes Wu Zhao's name is too well-known. It is not well-known to overseas players, even to domestic players.

On the contrary, the title Wu Zetian is easier to accept, and they also revised the introduction later and added relevant notes.

Plus...don't you have fun playing Civilization too? "

"The mistake is the mistake, their game is really interesting."

Yi Wenwen's father shook his head slightly, then looked at the screen: "What is it this time?"

"Wu Zhou, Di Renjie." Yi Wenwen replied.

"Oh?"

Yi Wenwen's father immediately showed an expression of interest.

while on the screen.

The promotional video has already started playing.

The logos of Linmu Studio and Bluestar Engine flashed away.

Only this time, there are more logos than before.

Logo from Dragon Studio.

Then.

The screen appears slowly.

On the long porch.

A woman dressed in men's clothing with a strong aura stopped in her tracks, then turned her back to the man who bowed her head, and said indifferently: "A minister who founded a country can use any skill, regardless of his character, while a minister who governs the world must Both talent and quality are good.

Di Renjie's talent and character are praised by the world. "

Because the investment is not small, the modeling and dubbing of the game are top-notch!

This moment caught Yi Wenwen's attention.

Yi Wenwen's father smiled slightly when he saw this scene.

And accompanied by these endless words.

The promotional video also officially kicked off...

The lens turns directly.

Came to the edge of the desert, a man with the appearance of a Turkic aristocrat seemed to have been seriously injured. He climbed up the hill and looked at the not-so-distant city skyline, showing a relieved expression.

Then the screen changes again.

At a certain post station, the postman abandoned the foaming horse, then ran staggeringly into the lighted house, pushed open the door, fell to the ground, and yelled at the surprised colleagues who came to help him. problem occurs!

Then the next scene.

A new postman rides on a new horse and continues to Chang'an.

Then the screen changed again. In the magnificent Tai Chi Hall, the Emperor Wu and his courtiers were waiting for the arrival of the Turkic mission.

The images of the three lines almost all disappear in a flash.

Standard game trailer routine.

Next.

The main character of the game officially appears.

A man in tattered soapy clothes staggers forward, the camera zooms in, blood on his clothes can be seen faintly.

Sudden.

A black shadow strikes.

Then there is the official game screen... It is still a hard-core sword fight, exactly the same as the screen released at the Global Game Awards.

Hardcore, chilling, and with a unique aesthetic feeling of cold weapons.

Really handsome.

The promotional film also officially entered the action scene at this time.

This period lasts for a long time, and it is almost the role played by the player, dealing with various enemy battle scenes.

Although the name of the game is Di Renjie, the protagonist does not seem to be Di Renjie.

In the second half of the promotional video, the painting style changed again.

The character played by the player is injured again, and then spends the night in a certain inn.

Late at night, a black shadow appeared in the window, saying that if he wanted to survive, he had to go to Jiangzhang County to find Di Renjie...

The promotional film also began to throw out more pictures and elements...for example, detectives.

soon.

The promotional video is over.

"...Detective?"

Yi Wenwen was dumbfounded after watching the promotional video.

In fact, after seeing the broadcast of the Global Game Awards, he was mentally prepared.

After all, the **** fighters have come out, so it is certainly impossible to have many ancient political plots.

But the detective... still exceeded his expectations.

After all, Di Renjie is the prime minister.

"Di Renjie used to be in charge of judging criminal cases in Dali Temple before he became prime minister. It is estimated that the inspiration for this game comes from Di Renjie's experience."

aside.

Yi Wenwen's father shook his head, and said with a smile: "But I think this game is because I don't want Di Renjie to sit in Dali Temple... But Di Renjie is the most famous politician in the Tang and Wu Zhou Dynasties. Jiaming, who can be called a model representative of a Confucian good official, for such a character to let him go around to investigate and investigate cases, the game company is really whimsical."

"It's a game after all..."

Yi Wenwen retorted, then suddenly thought of something, and asked, "However, it is indeed a bit unexpected, Dad, do you think this kind of game is good?"

Yi Wenwen's father heard the words, thought for a moment, stood up, and said with a smile: "I can't comment, because this game hasn't been released yet, and I don't know what kind of story this game tells. But I still hold Not optimistic about the attitude, I don't know much about games, but the plot should be more gimmick than reality, just use a shell to tell a completely irrelevant story.

Actually, it doesn’t matter whether it’s good or bad, you young people like it, game companies like it... I can’t influence anything, after all, historical materials are boring. "

After finishing speaking, he shook his head and left.

Yi Wenwen: "..."

…

The promotional video of "Di Renjie" was released not long ago.

quickly became one of the hottest topics in the player community.

Actually, every new game released by Linmu Studio has become a hot topic.

This is the aura accumulated by Linmu Studio, and it is also the aura most envied by all game companies.

plus.

At present, there is only Linmu Studio in China that has the ability and courage to produce 3A all the time, and has never disappointed the players.

"Call of Duty" still has a lot of prestige, so it's no wonder it's not popular.

As for the final promotional video this time, players are generally very satisfied.

Because the hard-core knife fighting gameplay is still the key point, although the main line of the game focuses on detectives, which is a bit unexpected, and some players are worried about its interesting level.

But most players can still accept it.

"Wuhu, fighting knife is really cool."

"The action system of this game really satisfies all my fantasies about the collision of ancient forces."

"It's so handsome, but the name of the game is Di Renjie, and the protagonist is not Di Renjie, hahaha..."

"Crazy! Di Renjie was a prime minister and civil servant in history, how could he be the protagonist... But I'm curious, what kind of story will this tell?"

"After watching the promotional video, to be honest, I was a little worried. Have you seen the logo at the beginning of the promotional video? Conglong Studio is the first-party studio acquired by Linmu. I heard that this work is made by Conglong Studio. Long is in charge, this kind of plot, and it is the first time for Conglong to do this kind of 3A, I am really worried about the quality of the work."

"Upstairs, is it true or not!?"

"I think Conglong did leak the news that they completed this work independently, and there should be a gap compared with the headquarters of Linmu Studio..."

"Don't worry! Lin Yao stares! Believe her!"

"..."

Yes.

The players are quite satisfied with the promotional film, and they are not resistant to the investigation.

On the contrary, I expressed concern about the sudden appearance of the LOGO of Conglong Studio...

After all, Conglong Studio was not merged into the headquarters of Linmu Studio.

itself seems to be short.

Under all kinds of rumors and rumors, some players expressed concern, which is understandable.

Lin Yao doesn't care.

Because she played this game herself! When the game is released, players will know what the game is like.

But Zhang Tian from Long Studio is not so calm...

Linmu Studio, this is a gold-lettered signboard, which represents the password of traffic, represents quality, but on the other hand, it also represents huge pressure...

So that day.

Zhang Tian called Lin Yao.

Then he made a request nervously.

"Boss, why don't you remove Conglong Studio's LOGO..."

"No, don't worry, this is normal public opinion, "Di Renjie" is a work produced by your studio, but you can't see your LOGO, what is it?"

Lin Yao shook her head lightly, then said with a smile: "You have to bear the pressure now, because I don't want the glory to be exclusive to Linmu Studio after the game is released, don't worry."

Zhang Tian: "..."

It seems that Zhang Tian is still a little uneasy after discovering it.

Lin Yao changed the subject: "By the way, I asked you to add some historical stories at the end of the game, have you added them?"

"Added."

Zhang Tian immediately cheered up when he heard Lin Yao talk about business.

This is an additional request from Lin Yao when they test the game during this period of time.

That is at the end of the game, introduce the historical lives of some important characters in the game.

Such as Di Renjie, Wu Zetian.

This can be regarded as a little selfishness of Lin Yao, but the effect is unknown.

But there is a good saying that historical materials are boring, and the best way for historical figures to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is to become a literary image and live in the story.

But in addition to the literary image, it is also meaningful to introduce them to the players who are interested in them. It is also a meaningful thing.

Lin Yao chatted with Zhang Tian for a while, and after completely dispelling Zhang Tian's worries, she hung up the phone.

"What about "Di Renjie"?"

In the conference room, Zhong Xiu saw Lin Yao hang up the phone and asked.

"Um."

Lin Yao nodded, then put down her phone, clapped her hands gently, and attracted the attention of others: "Okay, let's get back to the topic... There will be a very important product next year, I hope you are ready."

“…what is it?”

Zhong Xiu temporarily put aside the matter of "Di Renjie" and asked curiously.

After all, almost everyone in charge of the PC department can be named.

This battle is rare.

"MMORPG."

Lin Yao spit out a word, then picked up a thick stack of A4 paper on the table: "MMORPG based on the extension of "Warcraft", the project name - "World of Warcraft"!"

"…what?"

As soon as Lin Yao said this.

Almost instantly.

All the producers, including Zhong Xiu, showed astonishment and disbelief.

…

The end of the year.

"Di Renjie" was released, and "World of Warcraft" project was established.

Whether it is for players or for the staff inside Linmu Workshop.

are destined not to be peaceful...

Strongly recommend this book! A gigantic book.
