There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

  Chapter 525 Hearthstone Legend (ask for the next monthly pass)

   Excellent media.

   Encouraging task completion reminders pop up later.

  Lin Yao was basically relieved.

  She chatted with Lin Xi and Zhang Youjie for a while.

   Then the next day, he returned to Linmu Studio.

  Linmu Studio was fine yesterday, it was because of the window period.

  But it is impossible to say that Linmu Studio has nothing to do, given the current size of Linmu Studio.

  The mobile phone project has an acceleration buff and a ready-made design plan, and it will definitely get on the right track slowly. Lin Yao is very sure of this.

   And Lin Xi and Zhang Youjie also knew that Lin Yao's focus was on Lin Mu's studio, so they intentionally prevented Lin Yao from investing too much energy in UMedia.

So fine.

  So in the end, Lin Yao just made her name on YouMedia symbolically, to see if she could get stuck with the buff of 'No Decisive Difficulty', and then let go.

  She plans to go and have a look after the mobile phone project has made some progress.

  As soon as Lin Yao returned to Lin Mu's studio, Mu Wanqing came over.

  With the successful release of "Diablo", the backlog was pushed to Lin Yao.

  First of all, it is the animation film project of Qi Jianhua and Motion Capture Studio.

  They submitted many proposals.

  Lin Yao also read carefully.

but…

   "I always feel that they are too obsessed with the interlocking plot."

  Lin Yao put down the planning book in her hand.

   shook his head lightly.

   Although there is no script above.

  Because they felt that they were not good enough, they begged Lin Yao, who knew everything, to write an exquisite script...

  The problem is that their requests come in all shapes and sizes.

  Lin Yao can’t write either.

  Even if they can write, she doesn't suggest that they write any difficult script for the first challenge.

   "Probably because the story you wrote is too good."

   Mu Wanqing stood next to Lin Yao holding the documents, and said, "And isn't this a good thing?"

   "Well...how should I put it?"

Lin Yao thought for a while and replied: "I personally feel that it is too difficult to challenge some exquisite story for the first time to cross the border. We have accumulated a lot of experience in CG, especially in the aspect of atmosphere, but we don't have a long story. Narrative experience... So I think, in fact, you can try a simpler story and win by emotion."

   "Atmosphere? Mood?"

"Um."

  Lin Yao nodded.

  Take animated movies as an example.

  She herself likes "Promea" by Trigger Club very much.

  Is the story of this animated film good? Not really, it's pretty thin.

  After all, the end of the story is going in a fantasy direction...

  Even, as long as the audience has watched the animation for a long time, as long as the audience has been in contact with the works of Hiroyuki Imaishi such as Tianyuan Breakthrough.

  You can see the shadow of the previous Trigger Club works from this work. Except for Little Witch Academia, you can find a bunch of elements of Trigger Club’s previous works.

   And the commercialization of the film is also very heavy.

   But it is such a work.

  Lin Yao liked it very much.

   One of the great advantages of Trigger Club is that as long as the atmosphere is set in place, the audience's emotions will be mobilized, and the weak plot can be completely ignored.

  Even if the sentence "believing heart is your magic" can be ignited, it is even more said that this work has exhausted the entire trigger club.

  So Lin Yao thinks that this is the first time for Linmu Studio to make an animation film across borders, and they can try to do it in this direction.

  After all, most of the audience, such as Lin Yao herself, don’t actually think too much about it. Generally speaking, having the excitement of watching a movie is the best gift.

   Simply put.

   Popcorn movies are pretty good too.

   It's just... it's not easy to do.

   After all, it is not a professional animation company.

   Not everyone can reach the level of Trigger Club.

What's more, there is also a big problem with emotional flow. It is actually difficult to balance the style and the public's aesthetics. If it is a little bit off, it will become embarrassing...or it will only be acceptable if it matches the aesthetics and brain waves, otherwise …Um.

   "Forget it, let me think about it."

  Lin Yao finally took a look at the proposal submitted by Qi Jianhua, but finally did not make a hasty decision.

   I plan to think about it later.

   Anyway, there is no rush.

  She looked at Mu Wanqing again, and asked her what the next thing was.

  Mu Wanqing picked up the document in her arms, and then said: "The next thing... Regarding the Gilber Company and Dreamland, they expressed their desire to have a direct dialogue with you."

  Lin Yao asked, "What do they want to do?"

"They put forward a plan, saying that they can let their works log in to the Vaporwave game platform again without changing the share, but there is a condition, that is, they want to keep the option of logging in the game on Gameplaye, and ask to log in to the Vaporwave game platform again The game must have Gameplaye to start."

   "Ha, it really is the same goal by different routes."

  Lin Yao understood what they meant after hearing half of it.

  It roughly means that the Vaporwave game platform will become a "jumper" on the condition that the share regresses.

  In Lin Yao’s previous life, most game companies did this, such as Ubisoft.

  In this way, it can not only attract traffic to its own platform, but also prevent the work from missing the traffic of the head platform.

   is indeed a good plan.

   However, for Linmu Studio, this is not so good.

  There are only these two companies that bounce back here.

  It is impossible for Lin Yao to agree to their request.

Lin Yao thought for a while, and gave her own answer: "Let the business department discuss it. As for me, I don't accept the dialogue for the time being. Let them wait for a while and wait for the public beta of "World of Warcraft". "God", there is a little lack of confidence."

  Mu Wanqing: "..."

   Lack of confidence?

  Although I really want to say something.

  But Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao's profile, and finally swallowed her words.

  She opened her mouth and was about to say another thing.

  But before she could speak, Lin Yao seemed to think of something again, and suddenly said: "Miss Mu, please trouble me again."

   "You said?" Mu Wanqing was a little curious.

   "Collect the most popular game characters of Gilber Company and Dreamland, and then make a list for me, and help me collect the games these characters belong to by the way."

  Lin Yao suddenly made a request that made Mu Wanqing puzzled.

   "Ah? Why?" Mu Wanqing couldn't help asking.

   "Collect stamps, and then find a way to send out the love letter I imagined." Lin Yao raised her head, blinked at Mu Wanqing, and then showed a bright smile.

   "Stamp collecting, love letters..."

  Mu Wanqing's eyes became strange.

  Lin Yao didn't think too much, put her little hand on Mu Wanqing's stomach, patted the flat belly of the girl with black silk glasses, and fell into deep thought.

  Love Letter refers to the game of Smash Bros.

  Although at present, the possibility is not high, after all, the usefulness cannot be announced for the time being, and it is too difficult for the sworn enemy to authorize the most popular character under his banner.

  Who knows what Linmu Studio will use the character image for.

   But even if the odds are low, give it a try.

  What if it succeeds?

   "Is there anything else? Miss Mu." Lin Yao came back to her senses.

  Mu Wanqing thought for a while, and stopped dwelling on the topic just now, and moved on to the next thing.

   "The rest is about "World of Warcraft" and the mobile game department."

Mu Wanqing said softly: "The second round of testing of "World of Warcraft" ended successfully, Lei Hongguang gave the exact date of the public testing, and the marketing department has made a complete publicity plan according to the date, but Lei Hongguang sees After finishing it, it was too plain to say, he said that he hoped to hold a public beta event with enough attention for this game.

Otherwise, he would not have the confidence to play the previously released games, but the problem is also here. The previous games brought too much traffic, and now the pressure is all on "World of Warcraft". I have a headache, and I don't know what to do to give back to the players who are looking forward to it. "

  Forest Carnival has a total of four games.

  The first three models are all on sale.

  The latest release of "Diablo", double-dual login, sales exploded, and it will soon be linked with "World of Warcraft".

   Now the pressure is really all on World of Warcraft.

   "Actually, the game's on-time public beta is enough... However, I can understand the need for a public beta event that attracts enough attention. I will find them later."

  Lin Yao thought for a while, and did not rush to deny Lei Hongguang's idea, but shelved it temporarily: "What about the other thing? What happened to the mobile game department?"

"A staff member named Kang Yi submitted a business plan to me, hoping to hand it over to you. I read it, and I have some ideas. At present, the person in charge of the mobile game department has not yet been determined. I think it can be done. Let him try."

   "Kang Yi?"

  Lin Yao tilted her head: "It sounds familiar, but it seems very strange. Is it a new staff member?"

   "Well, the one who joined some time ago was the author who used the Warcraft editor to create the "Lonely Hero" map, and the one who was accused later... You rescued him, and then let him study hard. He has graduated now."

  Mu Wanqing smiled: "I was quite surprised when I saw his profile. I didn't expect him to actually join the job, and even went to the mobile game department, actively asking to participate in the development of mobile games."

   "Oh, it's him."

  Lin Yao suddenly realized, and then felt a little happy for some reason.

  At that time, she felt that the other party was quite thoughtful, and she wanted to get him into the job at that time, but the other party was studying, and she didn't want to destroy the other party's ivory tower life.

   is temporarily shelved.

   As for letting him graduate and join the job, it was just a joke.

  The other party has a resume like "Lonely Hero". In fact, there are quite a lot of choices. If you go to a smaller game company, it is not surprising that you can be in a high position as soon as you join the job.

  But the other party still came to Linmu Studio.

   and enter the job with a muffled voice.

  This proves that Forest Wood Studio has not disappointed this small producer who is also a player at least during this period of time.

   But... how time flies.

  Lin Yao was full of thoughts, and at the same time subconsciously took the proposal book in Mu Wanqing's hand, and flipped through it.

  At first, she thought it was a game project.

   But looking at it, Lin Yao realized something was wrong.

"interesting…"

  Lin Yao suddenly smiled lightly.

  This proposal is not so much a game proposal.

   Rather, it is a statement of opinion and an IP operation plan.

  This Kang Yi seemed to be aware of Lin Yao's idea of ​​deploying the mobile terminal, and then spent a lot of space talking about his thoughts on the mobile terminal.

   And explained in detail what kind of game he thinks is suitable for the mobile terminal.

   And behind the proposal, he put forward his own opinions in very cautious terms.

  He believes that since the IP of Warcraft can launch two types of games, RTS and MMORPG, Lin Yao also has ideas to make more of his famous IP flourish.

  Why don’t we also add the mobile terminal…

   After that, he also listed some IPs, such as the types of games that are suitable for making Warcraft after it is moved to the mobile terminal.

  He thinks that simple play should be the standard, and there is an option for card games.

   It's just that he doesn't know how to combine, or hasn't figured it out, so there are only a few related instructions.

  Combine characters with cards, use existing background stories.

   Although there is no specific gameplay.

  But the idea coincides with a certain game.

   "Let's go, it seems that we have picked up a talent."

  Lin Yao saw the end, closed the plan, thought for a while, made up her mind, and stood up: "Let's go meet that Kang Yi, Ms. Mu."

  …

  Time moved forward slightly.

  Linmu Studio.

   Product Department, Corner.

  Mobile game department.

  Kang Yi was working with his head down, deconstructing the plans for several small games given by Lin Yao.

  Through his own perspective, he began to list the answers why Lin Yao made such a design.

  He moves quickly.

   After a while, a whole page of documents was densely filled.

  Kang Yi typed out the last word, then raised his head, looked at the full documents, heaved a sigh of relief, then turned his head to look at the location of Lin Yao's office, his eyes were full of admiration, and at the same time, a little uneasy...

  He really guessed that Lin Yao wanted to lay out the mobile terminal, and he himself felt that the mobile terminal would be the future, especially after the new generation of communication technology is commercially available.

  Plus he himself is very interested in the carrier of mobile phones, so he took the initiative to come to the mobile game department.

   Then, he came into contact with the plan given by Lin Yao.

   Tell the truth.

  Seeing the proposal, it was a big blow to him...

  In fact, as soon as he came to Linmu Studio, he was hit hard.

   At the beginning, when he joined Linmu Studio, he was actually a little proud. After all, he was running the MOBA-like game "Lonely Hero" by himself for nearly two years.

  He also has arrogance!

  However, his thoughts only lasted until the second day of his employment...

  He entered the PC department of Linmu Studio, and after meeting the staff of Linmu Studio, his arrogance disappeared, leaving only a wry smile... Everyone is really a genius, genius in every sense.

  Take Zhong Xiu, the leader of the PC department, as an example. Kang Yi met him on the first day of his employment, and because of the shortage of personnel, he beat him for a week.

  After following Zhong Xiu for a few days, Kang Yi felt that his outlook on life had been refreshed...

Zhong Xiu really didn't stop for a moment. He checked the code in the morning, and when he was in a hurry, he went to the battle code by himself. In the afternoon, he would hold a meeting with the heads of other project teams to coordinate the human resources of each project team. In the evening, he would fiddle with the code again. It has nothing to do with games, and Kang Yi can't understand social software at all.

  Occasionally, at night, he would pull a bunch of people to play games...

   Almost never idle all day.

  If it's just like this, it's actually okay.

   But the problem is that Zhong Xiu has done everything to the best, which is the scariest.

  Play the game well, code the code well, understand the game and the software, and play the game tm well!

  Kang Yi also played games with Zhong Xiu. He witnessed Zhong Xiu with a cigarette in his mouth, while mocking Qi Jianhua, holding the mouse with one hand, and using Yasuo to push Qi Jianhua to the ground...

  This scene formed a strong contrast with Zhong Xiu during the day, and it also became an extremely profound scene for Kang Yi.

   Such a person, judging from Kang Yi's shallow workplace knowledge, can be called a genius.

   More importantly, he still loves his job and games...

   And there are many such people in Linmu Studio...

  Because he followed Zhong Xiu, he ran around in those few days and met all kinds of staff.

  The most outrageous time.

  He once witnessed with his own eyes that two programmers disagreed on how to implement a function on the engine, and then the two spent two days each making the same DEMO together, and then compared the fluency.

   Kang Yi also played that DEMO.

  Actually, he feels that both options are fine. Ordinary game companies may just choose one at random.

But just for this matter, the procedure of those two bosses is to use facts to convince each other, to convince everyone... and other people not only do not object, but also tm booing beside, including Zhong Xiu, because he is not sure which one Good plan.

  They insisted on the first iron, and the winner was decided.

  Even Kang Yi suspects that if the project time is not limited, they will decide whether to live or die again...

Because Zhong Xiu later told him that this kind of internal PK in the product department is meaningless, the fight between the engine team and the development team is good. For better results and to prove that their ideas are correct, the staff of the engine team will even perform 'I do what I do'...

  And for Kang Yi, this is really outrageous!

   As for?

   Go to war for a small detail.

He once asked Zhong Xiu about this question, and Zhong Xiu's answer was very simple. He said that he didn't know if it was necessary. 'Go to war'.

  After getting this answer, Kang Yi fell silent.

  Then he thought that those two programmers actually spent two days making a DEMO, which made him even more depressed...

   Then, he understood that he had nothing to be proud of. He operated the "Lonely Hero" by relying on the Warcraft editor, and the editor was developed by these people.

  In Linmu Studio, similar geniuses really abound.

  But they are different from ordinary geniuses, they seem to have a common goal.

  Although they occasionally show their sharp edges, more often they put away their sharp edges and cooperate together.

   Then move toward a goal together.

  To be honest, Kang Yi thinks this place is like a...utopia.

   And Kang Yi... soon fell in love with this place, because he had worked in a game company before, and he was even sued by the game company.

  So although he was hit, he also showed a stronger fighting spirit at the same time.

  He started frantically absorbing experience from other staff, and then he became more and more comfortable in the PC department.

   But just when he gradually emerged.

  He suddenly received a notice that the mobile game department was established, and all interested staff can participate.

  Then, Kang Yi joined without hesitation.

   It's not that he can't get ahead in the PC department, but after he graduated, he saw the news that the new generation of communication technology was about to be commercialized, and after researching the mobile phone market, he felt that mobile games had great potential, and he was very optimistic.

   And now, he has been in the mobile game department for some time.

  The view on mobile games has also taken a step further.

  So he mustered up the courage to write a proposal, and put all his ideas into it.

   Submitted it and wanted to show it to Lin Yao.

   Tell the truth.

  The moment it was submitted, it was fine.

   But he was really nervous at the moment.

  It's not that Kang Yi has never met Lin Yao.

  But every time it is just a quick glance... If it is nothing to talk to, Kang Yi really dare not.

  So his understanding of Lin Yao is limited to what other staff members said.

  He doesn't know Lin Yao's character, doesn't know Lin Yao's preferences, doesn't know Lin Yao's attitude.

   And his short entry experience in another game company made him understand that not all bosses like opinions and suggestions...

   What's more, he is just an ordinary staff member in Linmu Studio, not a person in charge.

  So this meeting, besides admiration, he also has anxiety.

   After all, I just graduated not long ago.

   "I don't know if I will be scolded..."

  Kang Yi withdrew his gaze, looked at the screen again, and sighed, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became.

   Anxiety is spreading.

  He can't go on working anymore

   But soon.

  The sound of footsteps came from the side.

  Stopped the speed of spreading anxiety in Kang Yi's heart.

  The sound of Mu Wanqing's high heels is very recognizable.

  Kang Yi thought it was Mu Wanqing, and immediately raised his head.

  But when he looked up, he saw not only Mu Wanqing, but also a beautiful girl with a high ponytail.

   The first time I saw a girl.

  Kang Yi's first thought was... her skin is so fair.

   "Did you write this proposal?"

  Lin Yao looked at Kang Yi who felt a little silly, and after confirming that she had found the right person, she asked a question.

   "Huh? Me? Er...it's me!"

  Kang Yi talked incoherently for a while, finally realized, stood up, and explained in a low voice: "I just write casually..."

Seeing his appearance, Lin Yao couldn't help laughing: "Don't be so nervous, the IP operation plan is well written, but you don't seem to have written the gameplay in detail, can you tell me about it? Especially the Warcraft card game. Program."

"I…"

  Kang Yi didn’t seem to have expected that his proposal would be seen and that Lin Yao could come over in person, so he was very nervous at first.

  But Lin Yao's melodious voice seems to have a magical power.

  After Lin Yao opened his mouth, Kang Yi slowly calmed down, organized his words, and said his thoughts again.

   "Is the card image..."

After listening to Kang Yi's explanation, Lin Yao pondered for a while, then picked up another planning book in her hand, and handed it to Kang Yi: "Actually, I also have similar thoughts. This is the planning book I wrote. You can take a look, now it’s just a general idea and some content, I will give you the specific plan after the public beta of “World of Warcraft”, and then I want you to be in charge of this project, you can take a look first.”

"project?"

  Kang Yi curiously took the plan handed over by Lin Yao, opened it subconsciously, and glanced at it. He couldn't take his eyes off the concept drawing drawn by Lin Yao.

   ""Hearthstone"? Cards? Dual login? Damn!?"

After a few minutes.

  Kang Yi tightly clutched the proposal in his hand.

  First reaction is genius! What a genius idea!

  Lin Yao saw his reaction, and smiled: "Look at it first, and I'll talk to you in detail after the detailed plan comes out. In addition, you should also participate in the "World of Warcraft" public beta, just to get acquainted."

   "World of Warcraft public beta activity?"

  Kang Yi came back to his senses and raised his head.

   But Lin Yao had already run away, she seemed to think of something, and went straight to the "World of Warcraft" project team.

  Kang Yi looked at the graceful back and fell silent.

  He finally understood why the PC department had a 'mate selection criteria group'...

   This is a private group of the PC department. There are many members in the group, and the review is extremely strict.

   I heard it was to guard against a certain manager surnamed Mu...

  Because several groups have been destroyed before.

   And this group, after joining, few people came out to chat.

  But every day, a few photos will be updated in the private album in the group.

  Kang Yi had seen it on the mobile phones of other staff members, and it seemed that they were all Lin Yao.

  He didn’t understand why his colleagues built this group at the time, but now he understands, not only understands, but also wants to join…

   "Kang Yi."

   Just when Kang Yi looked at Lin Yao's back, thinking wildly.

  Suddenly a voice came.

  Kang Yi turned around.

  The manager named Mu is standing next to him...

   "What, what's wrong?" Kang Yi didn't know what was going on, and suddenly felt guilty.

  Mu Wanqing showed a smile, and then asked inducingly: "You just came here not long ago? Have you heard of the standard group for choosing a spouse?"

"do not know!"

  Kang Yi was silent for a moment, showing an expression of defending something to the death, then shook his head vigorously, with a firm expression: "I've never heard of any mate selection criteria group!"

  Mu Wanqing: "..."

  …

the other side.

  Lin Yao didn’t know about the conversation between Kang Yi and Mu Wanqing,

After she explained to Kang Yi that the "Hearthstone" project was officially launched, she came to the "World of Warcraft" project team, held a small meeting with Lei Hongguang and Xi Qianyu from the marketing department, and then officially confirmed the "World of Warcraft" project team. "Public beta activities.

   Nearly an hour later, Lin Yao came out of the conference room.

  She stretched slightly, then looked around, showing a happy smile.

  Finally the public beta is coming.

  One of the most important online games of Linmu Studio!
