There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

"...Why!? Why can a small studio separated from eBay make such a game, but in terms of size, which project team below you can't compare with the entire studio of the other party!? Why can't you come up with Make such a game? Now that the heavy players are leaving, and the light players are also leaving, will we have to close the door in two days!?"

Linmu Studio won numbly.

Then there must be someone... who lost his mind.

Now, although there are other small online game companies in China, but you have to say that they are the largest, operate the most types of games, and are most influenced by Linmu Studio, or Tianhu.

The domestic FPS was half-dead before, but the popularity of "Breakout" proves that there are still many players in this game type.

Tianhu previously operated several FPS online games under its banner. Although the revenue is not the highest, it has always been a backbone product, and the popularity has always been good.

but now.

Don't talk about the backbone.

Almost stopped taking it.

And the boss of Tianhu, since the phone call with Mou Feng, has paid special attention to the data of Tianhu's products and the forest studio.

But it's okay if he doesn't pay attention.

This concern.

He couldn't even take a vacation.

He came directly to the company, called the person in charge of the product department, and scolded him head and face.

He is really angry.

Because the limited-time grabbing gun mode of "Breakout" exploded in just two days.

The appearance of various videos with program effects has opened the eyes of players. Even players who don’t play "Breakout" will feel a little moved when they see this sand sculpture mode. This directly makes "Breakout" popular again. Last time The "Breakout" update took away deep players, and this time it also took away those light players who want to experience simple fun in FPS.

Now the data of several games of the same type under Tianhu can be said to be appalling.

"..."

The person in charge of Tianhu's product department glanced at Li Guangsheng, the boss of Tianhu who was over fifty and wearing sportswear. Facing his anger, he slowly lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

Although he didn't understand why the other party suddenly paid attention to several FPS games under his banner, and then made such a big fuss.

But his experience in the workplace tells him that if he wants to continue working, it is best to shut up at this time, and it should be fine if the other party has scolded him, and hold on.

"Do you think that just a few middle-ranked fps games are not worthy of attention? Do you think that the other party is just a small studio and is not worthy of attention? Do you think it is worthwhile until Tianhu Chat is hacked and banned? care?"

But this time.

The head of the product department clearly miscalculated.

Li Guangsheng, the boss of Tianhu, saw that he was silent. Not only did he not scold him, but he became more and more angry, and his voice became louder and louder.

Because he was really in a hurry.

"...I will do everything possible to curb the decline."

The person in charge of the product department saw that things were not going well, so he hurried to speak.

"..."

Li Guangsheng's anger finally lessened a little, but he still said angrily: "I see you are too comfortable, thinking that Tianhu merged with eBay now, and you can make money while lying down! Next, I will tell you something, don't mention it to me Objection, the KPI of all project teams under your department will increase by 10% next year, if you can’t do it, get out of here! The last three project teams will also be disbanded and get out of here!”

The person in charge of the product department suddenly raised his head and wanted to speak, but seeing Li Guangsheng's expression, he swallowed all the words back.

Li Guangsheng continued: "Then your department will cooperate with the communications department, how to cooperate, I will discuss with you during the holidays! I don't care what barriers exist between your departments, any barriers are not allowed to exist!"

The person in charge of the product department didn't dare to make mistakes at all, and nodded silently.

Li Guangsheng sighed: "I still have to find out what the hell is the number on the key above the "Breakout" New Year's box. Even if the situation is bad now, we have to find a way to see if we can save those few FPSs under our banner."

"Understood." The person in charge of the product department nodded again.

Li Guangsheng frowned, and began to wonder if there was anything he had missed.

If he told Mou Feng that there was no pressure before, he still had some confidence.

Then "Breakthrough" became popular again, appearing in the sight of all players, which really put Li Guangsheng under pressure.

"Fantasy OL" and "Breakout", two popular games in the game circle, both come from the same studio.

It's the same studio that was spun off from eBay.

This is already an industry joke!

Every time a new game launched by Linmu Studio became popular and appeared in the eyes of the players, the directors of the insurance company and the directors of Tianhu would quarrel and blame each other.

Li Guangsheng really felt bad.

...

New Year's Day ends the day.

The number above the key to the Spring Festival box in the "Breakout" mall has come to 752145.

Lin Yao came back from the next city and returned to the studio where she had been away for three days. As soon as she sat down, Zhong Xiu rushed over excitedly and reported the number.

"If this trend continues, the final amount may exceed three million, or more."

Zhong Xiu sighed: "This is really too much, Lin Yao, several million."

There is no precedent for holding competitions in the game circle.

But there is no reward for the million-level rewards yet.

Not to mention, the three million may not be the end point, the final bonus depends entirely on the sales of the mall.

"Good thing."

When Lin Yao just came back, she was actually a little bit unmotivated, probably due to vacation syndrome, but when she heard the news, her mood immediately improved.

"Will it be too much?" Zhong Xiu hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Why? You still have to deduct other people's bonuses. It's unnecessary. Why didn't I mention the game when I first updated it? Isn't it just to make players interested in that number first, and I want to market it to push the popularity of the game directly. Gao, it's too stupid to do tricks, as much as you want."

Lin Yao shook her head: "And it's not much at all. Competition is one of the most important means to attract players, especially this kind of game, and more bonuses are given, which will also help the formation of the club. This is a win-win situation for players and us. good thing."

"Club, Lin Yao, you..."

When Zhong Xiu heard Lin Yao's words, he realized something and was a little surprised.

"right."

Lin Yao nodded.

Actually...

She also has a little selfishness.

In her previous life, CNCS was not available in the 1.6 period. At that time, all players should know how popular CS1.6 was in China. At that time, CNCS was much better in 1.6 than before she crossed, and even had a world champion team.

However, when foreign CS players gradually transitioned from CS1.6 to CS:S, CNCS players experienced a gap, and many players ran to play CSOL and CF, which led to... it is really hard to describe.

As the operator, Lin Yao saw the popularity of "Breakout", so of course she wanted to win some opportunities for domestic players.

But as the operator, she couldn't say clearly.

The situation overseas also needs to be verified.

It can only be smashed with bonuses.

"By the way, how is the overseas operation going?"

Lin Yao thought about operating overseas, so she asked.

"With the support and connection of reflecta, everything went smoothly. We almost don't need to worry about it. With their efforts, we can start the small-scale test immediately. Ms. Mu just told me that the small-scale test is estimated to be within two weeks."

"That's good……"

Lin Yao lowered her head and thought for a while: "But please pay attention, the amount of keys and Chinese New Year boxes in the mall this time is not counted as overseas, no matter how much overseas revenue is, it is not included, and don't show the figures overseas. "

"Well, what about the game?" Zhong Xiu nodded and asked.

"The competition...it depends on the situation, the small-scale test within two weeks, there shouldn't be any players running over thousands of miles to participate, right?" Lin Yao said uncertainly.

It's okay to say that the bonus is ridiculously high like the previous V agency.

But now it's a few million at most, it shouldn't be... right?

As for online participation.

That delay, it is estimated that few FPS players can stand it.

"All right."

Zhong Xiu felt that what Lin Yao said made sense, so he didn't bother to dwell on it. Instead, he talked about the new mode: "In the past few days, the new grabbing gun mode has also become popular. Because of this gameplay, we have attracted a lot of casual players. FPS players, they had a lot of fun, and even many players asked us to stay in this mode."

"It's impossible to be permanent. There are still many problems with this gameplay."

Lin Yao smiled: "Let's test it first to see if there are any problems, and then improve and modify it after it is removed from the shelf. Every time it encounters an important festival, it can be put on the shelf for a period of time, which is one of the trump cards to attract players. Well, we can develop more gameplays like this in the future. We have a blasting mode for competition, and there are ladders and casual blasting that will be launched soon, but the casual gameplay can’t be left behind. Let’s strive to make "Breakout" the number one FPS in China and overseas. "

Zhong Xiu smiled and said, "Isn't it now?"

"Now it is, but don't be complacent, and don't underestimate the ability of other manufacturers to catch up. If you feel that you can still improve, then continue to work hard to make the game better. "Fantasy OL" is still the first brother of the turn system. Chen Qiuwen is not every day. Annoyed with updates."

Lin Yao glared at him.

Zhong Xiu was a little embarrassed.

"Don't be complacent, the other thing is that it's almost time to announce the event, let's announce the million, and it's time to satisfy the curiosity of the players."

Lin Yao warned, and then turned to look at the date on the lower right corner of her screen: "You and the brothers under your hand are going to do a countdown, and when it reaches one million, we will announce what the numbers on the Chinese New Year box and keys are, and then You have a week off with pay, thank you for your hard work on New Year's Day."

"It's actually not bad."

Zhong Xiu shook his head: "There is nothing wrong during New Year's Day, we are also playing."

"Then you have to rest. It's not for you, but for others. Otherwise, you will go out to play on New Year's Day, and you will stay on duty and continue to work later. That is too miserable, and everyone will be dissatisfied."

Lin Yao pointed to her face: "After all, even I ran out to play."

"I see."

Zhong Xiu thought for a while, nodded in agreement, and then chatted: "How is it? Is Guancheng fun? I'll go there if it's fun, anyway, there's nothing to do."

"Well, it's hard to say... Ms. Mu is not fun sometimes."

Lin Yao looked at the direction where Mu Wanqing was, and suddenly sighed.

Zhong Xiu: "...?"

I asked Guancheng, what happened to Guan Muwanqing?
