There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

  Chapter 529 server opening

the next day.

  Everything is back on track.

  Lin Yao spent the whole morning perfecting the multimedia plan that she mentioned to Mu Wanqing last night, then went out to find Qi Jianhua, then called Zhong Xiu, and took the two of them to the meeting room.

   "Why did you ask the two of us to come?"

  The three came to the meeting room.

  After Zhong Xiu sat down, he immediately asked.

  He was quite puzzled.

  Although he has a good relationship with Qi Jianhua.

  But the two people are responsible for different affairs in Linmu Studio. Although they are related, it is the first time that Lin Yao called them alone.

   Qi Jianhua was quite puzzled about this.

   "Tell you something."

  Lin Yao took out the 'Multimedia Project' under the puzzled eyes of the two, and handed it to them.

  She spent a whole morning writing out two game alternatives, and gave the main settings and gameplay.

  One is "Resident Evil" and the other is "Silent Hill".

  Zhong Xiu and Qi Jianhua looked at the proposal book that Lin Yao took out, then looked at each other, took it over immediately, and began to flip through it.

   Just read a few pages.

   Both of them slightly widened their eyes...

"At present, in addition to the development team locked in the "World of Warcraft" project, the remaining staff in the PC department can barely support the development of two games. The first is the sequel to "Dark Soul", and the second is from Choose one of the two here."

Lin Yao saw that the two had almost finished watching, so she started to explain: "I will provide the game scripts for these two games, and I will only give the basic settings for the movie scripts, and then the movies will be based on the basic settings of the games. A story similar to a branch line, as a supplement to the game!"

  Qi Jianhua: "This..."

   Neither of them seemed to have expected that Lin Yao would propose such a plan.

but.

  Qi Jianhua was quite excited.

  Because originally his idea was to choose an existing game IP and make a CG movie to expand its influence.

   But there is a problem here.

  Famous IP, although it represents a huge number of fans, it also represents a huge pressure...

  It’s okay if it’s done well, but if it’s messed up, it’s probably going to be sprayed to death.

   Moreover, fans’ feelings must be considered, and the restrictions will be extremely large.

  After all, it is not easy to take care of fans and make other players who have never played the game understand.

  He is ready for this, ready to be sprayed...

  But I didn't expect Lin Yao to propose a new game with a side story mode.

  There is a lot of room for development!

   And without the baggage!

"I don't ask for this project to be fast, whether it is a game or a CG movie. After I give the game script, you can cooperate with each other to try to figure out a movie script that complements the plot of the game itself, and then polish it slowly, trying to make the CG Movies and games go live together."

Lin Yao smiled, and then said: "This is also the first multimedia project of Linmu Studio, try to do it well! I won't talk about the game, Qi Jianhua, I hope that when the movie is made, it will also be available to players. Come on, come on."

"it is good!"

  Qi Jianhua and Zhong Xiu looked at each other, and then responded excitedly.

   "Then you guys take a look at the plan first, I'll give you the game script later."

  Lin Yao stood up, left the last sentence, and walked out of the conference room.

  In the meeting room.

  Qi Jianhua watched Lin Yao leave, then looked back at the project in his hand, and began to consider which game to choose.

   "The concept of Silent Hill is more novel and interesting. The advantage of Resident Evil is that it has the biochemical model of "Breakout". We have done it and have experience..."

  Qi Jianhua muttered to himself, then turned around, and was about to ask Zhong Xiu for his opinion.

   But just turned around.

  He was strangled by Zhong Xiu.

  Zhong Xiu clamped Qi Jianhua's neck, shook him vigorously, and continued: "Congratulations! I will call you a director in the future, not a dish."

   "Damn it, what kind of bastard! I have a name! And you forced me to give me the title of bastard, right?"

  Qi Jianhua struggled, but he kept smiling.

  Zhong Xiu also laughed, didn't say anything, just shook him vigorously again.

   And the other side.

  Lin Yao returned to her office, opened the document, and was about to type.

  But suddenly, she seemed to think of something.

  Looked back at the window behind his eyes.

at the same time.

   Outside the headquarters of Linmu Studio.

  The LED screen suddenly lights up!

  The huge promotional image of "World of Warcraft" appeared outside the headquarters building of Linmu Studio, attracting countless attention.

  There is also a countdown on the promotional image.

   There are two more days.

   "World of Warcraft" is about to be tested!

  …

   Forum.

  The movement of the headquarters of Linmu Studio, of course, cannot be hidden from the players.

soon.

  Relevant pictures were sent to the forum and related communities.

  The influence of yesterday’s live broadcast is still there. As soon as the LED screen lights up, the feeling that the public beta is approaching comes out immediately.

  The expectations of the players have been raised again.

   Cengceng up!

"finally coming!?"

   "Ahhh, I can't wait to go on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land! Stormwind City! Lordaeron occupied by the undead, and Orgrimmar of the Horde!"

"I think so too! During the live broadcast, the real city screen, the relevant information is really not disclosed at all, which makes me more interested. What will happen to these 3D cities in "Warcraft" of!"

   "First pass! First pass! I'm announcing something! After the game's public beta, our "Shen Ge" 135 union! We will be the first to clear the top copy of the game!"

   "The one upstairs is dreaming? Lin Yao said at the time that they would also enter the game. Do you still want to make the first pass?"

"Hahaha, there is an honest man upstairs, hurry up and bully him... Do you really think Linmu Studio will grab the first pass? You said they can play games, I believe it, and I also hope that the staff of Linmu Studio can enter the game, If even the staff of the project team don't play games and only know how to look at the data, it is estimated that many front-line problems will not be found.

   But you said they want the first pass? Where did they get the time...and what good would it do them? When Lin Yao said this at the beginning, it was nothing more than to attract others and propose the first pass method. The player's community is not closed, and the first-pass teams in the early stage are basically all top teams. If Linmu Studio really wants to create a union with great fanfare, it is estimated that it will be discovered the next day! Remember, they are producers, not professional players! "

   "What if they use GM authority [狗头]"

   "Those who can fully understand the entire game situation and use GM authority are the middle and high-level executives of Linmu Studio. These people are crazy to make fun of their jobs for the sake of the game..."

   "Fuck, this matter can also be discussed? Isn't it obvious?"

   "Don't talk about it, what race will you choose? I want to choose a tauren with a stick on his shoulder! It feels very powerful!"

   "I tm killed a tauren, and the thing on the tauren's shoulder is called a totem! A totem! It's not called a stick!"

   "..."

  Major communities.

  Players were excitedly discussing how to play the game after the public beta, as well as their vision for the game.

   And at the same time.

  Those areas where "Warcraft" can radiate, overseas players who also love this game very much.

   Also discussing Linmu Studio's "World of Warcraft".

  This MMORPG online game developed based on "Warcraft"!

  The number of pre-orders for the game... has exploded.

   Even.

   The game has not been tested yet.

   The point card sales of "World of Warcraft" brought Linmu Studio an income of 200 million!

Yes.

   Two hundred million!

   According to statistics from the background of Linmu Studio, during this period of time for all regional servers, a total of nearly 3 million players have purchased game point cards and monthly cards that have already been launched in the store.

   And this is only one month.

  Because the game has not yet been tested publicly, most players buy a monthly pass even if they buy it for a month.

  Follow-up, if the game is popular enough, it is conceivable how much income "World of Warcraft" will bring!

   And Linmu Studio didn't hide it.

  On the last day of the countdown to the public beta, Linmu Studio took the initiative to release this data.

  The purpose is to create momentum for "World of Warcraft".

   And this number, the glaring 200 million, is too exciting.

   This is true for the players.

   The same is true for peers.

  Players want to play games with as many people as possible, so seeing this number, they have more and more confidence in the game.

   And colleagues, it is not so easy...

   "200 million... Hehe... The game hasn't been tested yet..."

  Li Guangshang looked at the pictures posted on the social account of Linmu Studio, and looked at the numbers above, and was already going crazy: "This tm game hasn't been tested yet! As for it!?"

  He was mentally prepared.

   Really done!

  After watching the live broadcast, he has already increased his weight layer by layer and is mentally prepared.

   But now, he found that he still underestimated the popularity of "World of Warcraft" and the power of the Vaporwave game platform...

   And it was only then that he realized a very important fact that was ignored by him before, that is—

  Linmu Studio's online games are not limited to domestic audiences.

   Their basic market in various overseas regions is also solid!

  Tianhu... Maybe she wasn't worthy to be an opponent in the first place.

   "Get ready first."

  Mou Feng took a look at Li Guangsheng and knew that the income of 200 million from "World of Warcraft" before the public beta was a big blow to him, so he couldn't say any words of comfort in the end.

He just patted Li Guangsheng on the shoulder, and then gave an unsolvable solution: "Let's stabilize first, there will always be people who don't like Western fantasy themes. In addition, I noticed that many people in our games are selling accounts recently." , We are a serious game company, third-party account transactions cannot guarantee safety, so let the legal team deal with these third-party trading platforms...

  We need to curb this trend of selling accounts. As long as the account is still there, the players will always be thinking about it. Let's avoid it first, and then think of a solution later. "

   "...Avoid the edge? Do you think it works?"

  Li Guangsheng suddenly raised his head and stared at Mou Feng.

   For the first time, I saw my own emotional intelligence.

   "Otherwise, what can we do?" Mou Feng spread his hands, looking helpless.

  Li Guangsheng: "..."

  …

   Anyway.

  No matter what other people think.

   The public beta date for World of Warcraft will not change.

   And the time is approaching little by little.

soon.

   There are only 24 hours left before the public beta of "World of Warcraft".

  The store page of "World of Warcraft" also added a countdown on the play button in a ceremonial manner.

  24 hours countdown.

   And this day, the forum was much quieter.

  Because the players have all gone to save energy and save taxes, they plan to play him for a day after the server opens tomorrow.

   Time passed slowly.

the next day.

  August 3rd.

  Domestic, eleven o'clock at noon.

  Eleven p.m. EST.

  The much-anticipated "World of Warcraft" is still an hour away from the opening of the server.

  At this point, the players are already sitting in front of the computer, gearing up.

  The forum has also become lively again.

  Many people are waiting for the official public beta of the game, and then enter the game for the first time.

   And Li Guangsheng also received news that made his eyes go dark.

this day.

   For the same type of online games under Tianhu, the number of online users has declined to varying degrees.

  The most exaggerated one...Compared to yesterday, there are 80% fewer players.

  Eighty percent!

  It's still Saturday!

   These players are not dead, so what they are doing is self-evident.

   And for Gameplayer, for Franco of Gilbert's company.

this day.

  It is also the darkest hour.

  Although they don't have similar online games, tm "World of Warcraft" has a store page on the Vaporwave game platform!

   To start the game, there must be a Vaporwave game platform.

   Frank is not interested in how many people are online in this game.

  But the number of concurrent players on the Vaporwave game platform has increased by nearly 4 million today!

   This is enough to make his eyes go dark.

   "Diablo" just released! here we go again…

certainly.

   All of the above have nothing to do with the player.

  Most players just think that there are too many people who open the game platform today. There are so many players looking forward to "World of Warcraft", that's all.

  Jiang Lun is such a person.

  He didn't pay attention to other games, even the MMORPG he played before, let alone understand the current situation.

   After all, after supper that day, he decided to sell his account.

   And he didn't pay attention to the number of people online on the Vaporwave game platform. Why should he be an ordinary player paying attention to this?

  Before the game beta test.

  He has been in the water group.

   And his water group was originally established for the game "Shen Ge".

  But today, everyone in the group is discussing "World of Warcraft"...

  On the communication software of Tianhu, on the game group "Shenge" under Tianhu, chatting about "World of Warcraft" by Linmu Studio.

   I have to say that this is also a kind of tauren.

   And he has been in the group for so long, the only feeling... probably is that there are so many players looking forward to "World of Warcraft".

   This made him feel some pressure.

  He was one of the top players in "Shen Ge" before.

   And so many players look forward to "World of Warcraft".

   It made him feel that it might not be easy to rush to the top ranks in the new game.

   But soon.

  He just shook his head, dismissing the thought.

  MMORPG, cook by yourself!

   No matter how you say it, I’m still one of the top 20 players in the battle power ranking of a popular server in “Shen Ge”.

   How can it not be unknown?

"Um."

  Jiang Lun nodded, convinced himself, and then closed the chat window.

   Switched back to the Vaporwave game platform.

  Five minutes left.

   The game is about to be unlocked.

  He didn't plan to do anything next, he just stared at the store page and waited.

   Time passed by little by little.

   The moment the countdown reaches zero, the moment the play button lights up.

  Jiang Lun immediately clicked 'Start Playing'.

The    button is dimmed, the configuration file is loaded, and the window pops up.

   Next.

  The game is officially launched.

   thump thump.

  The logo of Linmu Studio appears in the center of the screen.

  The CG that was played at the Forest Carnival was played again.

   "The drums of war have been sounded again..."

at last.

   With this classic line sounded.

  Jiang Lun had goosebumps on his skin, even after watching it for the second time, he still felt shocked.

   "You can just make a movie, I will definitely support it!"

  Jiang Lun muttered something, and then directly entered the game character creation page.

  He has a clear goal.

  I have already confirmed that I want to choose the night elf race, and then play Druid.

  He doesn't know why, but he just likes this job very much.

but.

  Even if the goal is so clear,

   When he came to the character creation interface, he couldn't help but look at other races.

  In this world of "World of Warcraft", Lin Yao still didn't make up her mind to imitate the character style of Blizzard before. After all, some characters are really ugly...

  So, under her leadership, almost all races have changed and become more beautiful.

   And this beautiful character is paired with different backgrounds of different races when creating tasks.

  It's really attractive.

   "The environment will be different depending on the birth point, I have a feeling!"

  Jiang Lun read the introduction of the eight races in the early stage, and then he chose the night elf race, determined the druid profession, and created his own character.

enter the game!

  Click the button.

  The loading screen comes out.

  At that moment, Jiang Lun's heart beat faster and he was very excited.

   Realizing this, he gently pressed his heart, took a deep breath, and managed to calm down.

   Not necessary.

  I have played three MMORPGs instead of five. I haven’t seen any scenes... Damn it!

  Jiang Lun, who had a lot of inner drama, was interrupted before the small theater in his head was finished.

  Because the game screen came out.

  In order to keep up with the times as much as possible, Linmu Studio is really making "World of Warcraft" with 3A standards.

   Directly raised the screen limit of online games to a new standard.

  The hardware detection function of the Vaporwave game platform will preset relevant screen settings for players who enter the game for the first time.

   And Jiang Lun's computer hardware happened to be good.

   So, he got the best look!

   See the best game screen ever!

   The game begins.

   Did not directly enter the game, but used the bird's-eye view to guide players to familiarize themselves with the habitat of their race.

on the screen.

  The camera slowly rises into the sky, and then passes over the foggy island that is always covered with a purple veil.

   This is the residence of the night elves - Teldrassil.

  Jiang Lun was attracted by the scenery on the screen almost instantly.

  【For 10,000 years, the immortal night elves have established a society that believes in the teachings of druids in Ashenvale. 】

  【The invasion of the Burning Legion disrupted this originally peaceful civilization...】

on the screen.

  The camera is still moving forward.

  At the same time, the narration sounded.

  The residence of the night elves, quiet and peaceful.

  The house is built in mid-air on the thick tree trunk like a giant. Outside the house, there are light white stairs spiraling up to the top floor.

  On the roof, the floating cloud flower decoration is full of classical charm. Under the thick shade, the purple cornices and branches of the house reflect each other.

  In the air, misty purple mist filled the air, and the treetops were immersed in purple brilliance.

   On the ground, there is a piece of green, the winding path extends in all directions, the ferns sprouting on the side of the road, and the branches of a few low trees are sparse, entwined with silver and blue light balls, like street lamps.

  Wild boars and black panthers run back and forth on the side of the road, in perfect harmony.

   Looking down at the entire map, the purple mist has colored the hills and dense forests, making the entire map look like it is wrapped in a piece of amber of a different color.

  An ancient and mysterious civilization.

do not know why.

  Seeing this performance, Jiang Lun's first thought was this.

  This is too emotional!

   "I have never seen this scene..."

  Jiang Lun sank instantly, and muttered something to himself.

That's great!

  Whether it is the atmosphere or the picture!

   And at this time.

  The camera is still advancing.

   Then after going around in a circle, he returned under the World Tree.

  【As one of the few remaining night elves in the world, you must defend Darnassus and work hard for it to get rid of the corruption of the Burning Legion! 】

  The narration also came to an end at this time.

  He spoke passionately about defending Darnassus.

  The camera also slowly fell, landing on a map called Hidden Valley, and finally fixed on the night elf created by Jiang Lun.

  When the camera fell, Jiang Lun saw other players...

  How to describe it...

   A bunch of players!

   A lot of players!

  Not to mention the platform as the birth point, there are players everywhere on the hills and under the tree trunks, and night elves are everywhere.

   Huge hordes of players running around, jumping and jumping!

  When Jiang Lun saw this scene, he almost suffocated...

soon.

   He takes control of the character.

  Jiang Lun manipulated the angle of view dumbly, looked around, looked at the players dancing with demons, and watched the constantly beating public channels.

   Numb.

   "The number of people is too outrageous! Is this tm the few night elves left? Is this tm a vegetable market!?"

   "I take back what I just said, although I play MMORPG a lot, I'm really not familiar with it!"

  …

   "Oh! man!"

North America.

   Ohio.

  After seeing the place of birth, Sibulon had the same idea as Jiang Lun.

no way.

  There are really too many people!

   People are everywhere!

  Until now, he had a clear understanding of how many people played this game...

  The only difference between him and Jiang Lun is that he did not choose night elves, but humans.

  So what he saw just now was the majestic Stormwind City full of fantasy!

in addition.

  He didn't spend too much time observing other players, playing a small theater in his mind.

   After sighing a little, there are so many people.

  He couldn't wait to find the NPC with an exclamation mark on his head.

   The game officially started.

   Just after overlooking Stormwind City.

  He can't wait to go in and have a look!

   And there are so many players!

   directly aroused his desire to win!

  …

at the same time.

  Sky fox.

  Li Guangsheng also entered the game.

  The race he chose was the tauren.

   But even for this rough and crazy race, the birthplace is also full of people...

  Looking at the densely packed players.

   Before Li Guangsheng had time to appreciate the scenery of Thunder Bluff, his eyes went dark again...

  At this moment, he really felt that all players were playing World of Warcraft!

   In fact.

  Although it is not as exaggerated as all players are playing "World of Warcraft".

   But the number of people online at the same time in the game is indeed quite a lot...

Um.

   Start serving for half an hour.

  The number of people online at the same time is as high as six million!
