There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

  Chapter 647 An Unsurpassable Year

  Linmu Studio.

  In the conference room.

  Lin Yao rarely sat with Zhong Xiu and Zhu Nianqiao.

  After the company expands, most of the meetings involve many departments.

  This also led to more and more middle and high-level people attending the meeting.

but.

  This time the situation is a bit special.

  Lin Yao just had an idea.

  Although she subjectively wants to write a longer 'love letter', this also takes into account the workload within the company.

  So this time she didn't find so many people, but first found the heads of the two main product departments to discuss.

   As for the mobile gaming sector.

  They are relatively independent, and there is a big difference between mobile games and traditional games, unlike console and PC games that often have dual-platform logins.

  Lin Yao is not called Kang Yi.

   "Fill in the blanks?"

  Zhong Xiu sat opposite Lin Yao, holding a FuturePAD, and asked a question.

   "Yes." Lin Yao nodded.

   "But isn't that too much?"

  Zhong Xiu put down the FuturePAD and rubbed the space between his eyebrows: "And most of the games only have the name of the game... Is it really feasible?"

   "You mean workload? That's a real problem..."

  Lin Yao nodded, but she was halfway through the conversation.

Zhong Xiu directly interrupted her, and then explained: "No, I mean you, the company is actually doing well internally, although it is quite hard work, but the two first-party studios have now proved their abilities, and we also Not without trying too much.

   Besides "Ready Player One", there are only two projects under development by the console department and the PC department, and they are already on the right track. We can always get it done. "

   "But before, even during the extended period, you staggered the development schedules of the console department and the PC department, right? Now, multiple projects in the two departments are launched simultaneously, plus the mobile department... and Youmedia."

   "The staff of our two departments together take up more than half of the entire building, but you only have one person."

  Zhong Xiu spread his hands, expressing his concern.

   "This one."

  Lin Yao showed a clear expression when she heard the words, and then smiled: "So I told Zhu Nianqiao just now that this new plan is a little different from the previous ones, and I will give the plan and basic settings as before.

  However, I will not follow the specific production. Simply put, how it is made depends entirely on you. "

"…ah?"

  Zhong Xiu was stunned.

   This mode is not common in Linwood Studio.

  Although Lin Yao is sometimes lazy, she will follow up most of the projects, because no matter how detailed the text is, there are limitations. At this time, she needs to take on the responsibility of the producer.

  This is also the reason why most of the game producers in Linmu Studio basically have Lin Yao's name in the column.

   At the same time, it is also the reason why players feel that they can't do without her.

   "Is that why it's called special training?"

  At this time, Zhu Nianqiao who was beside him interrupted.

Lin Yao nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, of course, you can come to find me if you really have no choice, but I still hope that you can completely abandon me this time, and then go to make a plan with the existing planning book and basic settings." game.

  Then absorb and learn as much as possible, and then start from the planning stage to conceive and make a game from scratch..."

  Zhong Xiu: "..."

  Zhu Nianqiao: "..."

  The two looked at each other, and then looked at Lin Yao with complicated expressions.

   "What are you doing? You want to say goodbye too?"

  Lin Yao blinked, and then said with a smile: "Don't make that expression, a game company always needs fresh blood, my existence can indeed save a lot of trouble, but there will always be a day when my inspiration runs out.

   Also, don't you guys have any games you want to make? "

   "..."

   Both were silent.

   Of course there are.

   Even both tried.

   "So, this is still very necessary. After the above plan is completed, it will be your turn to make a lot of money."

  Seeing their expressions, Lin Yao immediately knew that she had guessed correctly. She raised a fair finger and pointed at the FuturePAD: "Take this as your last big exam."

  Zhu Nianqiao muttered: "To be honest, it's still hard to imagine the scene where we make games alone without you..."

   Really unimaginable.

  Because even the game "Tracking" independently planned by the host department some time ago.

  Lin Yao also contributed a lot.

rather say.

  The entire game framework was proposed by Lin Yao.

  In this case, Zhu Nianqiao really couldn't imagine her own 'independent' scene.

  Lin Yao replied: "So this is the beginning of the rehearsal."

  Zhu Nianqiao: "..."

   "But even so, it should be enough, right?"

Zhong Xiu was silent for a moment, then looked down at the FuturePAD in front of him again, and said, "With so many games, it's probably enough to sort out the ideas and determine the framework and all the basic settings, right? Since it's going to be released before the two existing projects, when... "

   "It's okay, I know most of the games, so don't worry."

   "...all of them?" Zhong Xiu was stunned, and looked down at the tablet again.

  Lin Yao corrected: "Most of them."

   "..."Titanfall"?" Zhong Xiu hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the first game on the tablet.

   "This is an FPS game, but unlike the previous FPS, I want to make this game more technological, so as to bring players a more hearty gaming experience."

Lin Yao organized the wording and explained: "The plot is not complicated. The story will take place in the future. It will start with a rookie rifleman, and then describe him killing all directions, fighting against the dictatorship, fighting for space and folding weapons, and finally The story of saving the planet."

"Forehead…"

  When Zhong Xiu heard Lin Yao's words, he scratched his head and stopped talking.

  It doesn't seem attractive...

   "The main features are the cool gun feel, the light decryption map design, the novel experience combining FPS and parkour, and the weapons and enemies with a sense of technology."

   "Of course, there is the most important... mech mechanism."

Lin Yao continued: "I plan to add a mech mechanism to this game. The protagonist will fight side by side with a mecha named Titan BT7274. Players experience the fun of bombarding huge mechs..."

   "..."

  Lin Yao just finished speaking.

  Zhong Xiu stood up suddenly: "Stop talking, let's make this game!"

   "?" Zhu Nianqiao looked up at Zhong Xiu, and slowly put a question mark.

   "Don't worry."

  Lin Yao couldn't help laughing, but she understood him.

   Men.

  All old-fashioned plots will become more attractive as long as they are added with huge mechs.

  Whether it is Transformers, Pacific Rim, or the last Gundam debut of Ready Player One.

  Don't care about the plot.

  The moment the robot comes out, it is always exciting.

   "..."

  Zhong Xiu noticed that Lin Yao and Zhu Nianqiao were looking at him, he managed to calm down, and sat down again awkwardly.

  He paused, and then asked about the details of the game.

  Lin Yao gave him a little explanation.

  Zhong Xiu became more and more excited the more he listened, and he was even gearing up later.

  Huge mechas descend from the sky, iron and blood intertwined battles, guns and fire baptized the battlefield, steel romance...

  He became excited just hearing the description.

   It wasn't until I realized that I couldn't make this game for a while, that I calmed down again.

  He looked down at the tablet on the table again. In order not to let himself lose control, he took the initiative to shift the question and asked casually:

   "What about "Bloodline"?"

   "This game, you can understand it this way."

  Lin Yao thought for a while, and replied: "It is a sister chapter of the "Dark Soul" series, but compared with the "Dark Soul" series, this game will have a stronger exploratory nature."

"The stage of the story is in a classical Victorian city, which is a miraculous medical sanctuary, but also a cursed place where strange and vicious diseases spread. The raging "beastly" disease dehumanizes people and reduces them to horror beyond cognition beast."

  "When night falls, a stranger who wraps himself tightly will appear, holding a sharp machete to hunt those crazy monsters on the street..."

  Lin Yao told Zhong Xiu a little bit about this game.

  Zhong Xiu finished listening: "...?"

   After a long time.

  He spoke again and asked:

   "The pixel wind sandbox game... Minecraft?"

   “This game is even more special.”

  Lin Yao said a little happily: "You know about building blocks, right? This game is simply to develop the idea of ​​building blocks into a game.

Open world, pixel style, and this game is a step further than the ordinary open world, without any goal restrictions, play restrictions, players can choose to be architects, survivors, adventurers, redstone technicians, PVP, or focus on For parkour, decryption, mini-games, etc..."

  Zhong Xiu: "..."

  Zhu Nianqiao: "..."

   "Assassin's Creed?" Zhong Xiu was silent for a moment, then asked again.

  Lin Yao spoke again.

Then.

   Soon only Lin Yao's voice was left in the meeting room.

   Occasionally she pauses.

  Zhong Xiu's voice will sound.

   But often just spit out the name of the game simply.

   Half an hour later.

   "Fuck! Don't you know everything!?"

  Zhong Xiu stared at Lin Yao with wide eyes.

   "Of course there are basic ideas."

  Lin Yao nodded and said: "But that's all for now. It will take some time to put it on paper, and there are many things that need to be considered."

   aside.

Zhu Nianqiao glanced at the tablet, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly asked: "Senior sister, I just have a question now, these games won't be in your mind long ago, right? Just considering the company's production capabilities and work Didn't the amount come up?"

   "..."

  When Zhong Xiu heard Zhu Nianqiao's words, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Lin Yao again, with a shocked expression on his face.

No way! ?

  “…ask why so clearly.”

  Lin Yao smiled, but did not answer her question directly.

   Instead, he stood up, came to the front of the conference table, took out the marker pen on the whiteboard tray, and said, "Now you probably understand what game you are going to do next, so let's evaluate the feasibility.

  At the same time, evaluate how these works can be linked with the final multimedia planning and games if it can be done..."

   "That's what I think."

  Lin Yao picked up the marker pen and began to talk about her own thoughts: "Add some fighters to Smash Bros., and modify some scenes of the multimedia planning..."

beside.

  Listening to Lin Yao's narration, Zhong Xiu was a little lost in thought.

do not know why.

  He looked at Lin Yao's back and suddenly had a premonition.

  Next year, maybe it will be a miracle year.

  For the entire gaming circle and all gamers, it is an unsurpassable year.

  Even if future generations of players think about it, they will feel an exciting year!

  …

  The meeting did not last long.

  Lin Yao didn't have a long speech.

  Although she said a lot...

   But the plan this time is not a trivial matter. Now Linmu Studio is no longer as simple as a small workshop. It is impossible for the three of them to decide everything in one meeting.

  In addition, this time PC games accounted for a relatively large proportion, so how to cooperate between the two departments is the only problem.

   It will take time for the two departments to integrate and sort out resources.

so.

  Lin Yao discussed with the two for a while, and after confirming that the two had a general idea, they were asked to evaluate their own internal situation.

  As for Lin Yao herself, after leaving the conference room, she returned to her office.

   "This is not a small project."

  Lin Yao sat down, looked at the lit computer screen, and smiled slightly.

   Anyway.

  What is going on with Zhong Xiu and Zhu Nianqiao?

  She will first make the plan and basic settings of the game.

   It will be time to make a choice.

certainly.

   It would be even better if there were no regrets.

"let's start."

  Lin Yao stretched, then pulled the keyboard over, opened the document, and typed the first character.

  But I just coded a title.

  She suddenly thought of something.

etc.

   Wouldn't this be too...grand?

  Lin Yao showed a thoughtful expression.

  But soon, she smiled and shook her head.

never mind.

who cares.

   Being grand isn't a bad thing either.

   Just let the players open their eyes and have fun...

  …

at the same time.

  External.

  The topics related to the live broadcast of Linmu Studio last night are still fermenting.

  Most of the peers originally just followed the live broadcast with the mentality of watching a movie.

   but didn't expect...

  Linmu Studio has abruptly embarked on a new path that they have never imagined...

   Not only solved the impact of Lin Yao not showing up at the carnival in one fell swoop, but also directly lifted the affected new game to the number one position in the sales list.

   Still the three games take turns to be the first!

   And, they have developed a very new kind of live broadcast…

  There are really many tricks, wild ways, dimensionality reduction strikes...

   Most of the peers are really greatly influenced by Linmu Studio.

  After the live broadcast.

  Like a stress response.

  Many colleagues began to evaluate the possibility of learning from last night's live broadcast...

  Lin Yao doesn't have a second one, they can't create such a god, and their boss doesn't have the same influence as her.

  But the boss and the virtual anchor live together, it seems to be a trick.

   Or more precisely.

  People like Lin Yao can’t be made artificially, but make a cute two-dimensional paper man, and then bring the goods to the game.

   It seems that there is something wrong.

   Player acceptance also looks high...

  Many colleagues began to inquire about related technologies on this day.

  Related technologies were also very popular because of the live broadcast of Linmu Studio.

but.

   After being fired for a period of time, the related technologies slowly subsided.

  On the one hand, it is because the technology and ecology of virtual live broadcast here are far less mature than Lin Yao's previous life.

  Ordinary companies want real people to rely on facial capture and motion capture technology to map real people's expressions and movements onto virtual images synchronously.

   Really troublesome.

   The investment is not small.

  The reason why Linmu Studio can do it is because the best and most mature motion capture studio in China is Linmu Studio’s own home...

   On the other hand, it is because of the release of "Death by Daylight" by Linmu Studio.
