There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

A beep is heard.

The moment the translucent font appeared, Lin Yao subconsciously raised her arm under the water.

He still remembered that the reward was almost scrapped last time.

She was really a little scared.

But fortunately.

The reward does not appear instantly, the first to appear is a reminder of the completion of the task, and there are two!

[Use the new engine to make a game, and make the monthly sales of the game reach more than 40 million - the task is completed! 】

[Let the monthly active users of the comprehensive instant messaging software reach 10 million—mission accomplished! 】

As the task was prompted, two dim star points were lit up on the tree-shaped star map.

then.

Lines of new translucent fonts emerged in her sight.

【Congratulations! Obtain the software documentation when Bram Cohen, the father of BT, personally developed and designed the game platform]

【Congratulations! Get an 'opportunity', an opportunity to take off if you can seize it. 】

【Congratulations on getting two new 'small goals'】

[Make a game platform, the number of active users on the platform exceeds 3 million ("Breakout", "Fantasy OL" players are not counted); make an exclusive platform game, create millions of sales】

[Kaihei has officially stepped out of the game category, with monthly active users reaching 50 million]

Gradually appear with translucent fonts.

A USB flash drive appeared in Lin Yao's palm again.

The reward this time was not as exaggerated as last time, but Lin Yao was still in a daze.

The name Bram Cohen, the father of BT, may not be familiar to everyone.

Everyone is familiar with Steam, right? The original version of Steam was developed and designed by him.

Although the reward does not specify which game platform it is, the answer is already obvious.

But the problem is it's really hard to do this now.

Lin Yao is still struggling in the field of online games, it is really troublesome for him to suddenly ask him to make a platform.

Because it's really hard to do. Now Linmu Studio has two good games and successfully held a competition, but these games are insignificant on the game platform. The biggest possibility is to make the platform become these two games. launcher.

Under such circumstances, how can the number of active users on the platform exceed three million?

Another thing is to make an exclusive platform game and create millions of sales.

This clearly means that she is required to do the buyout system.

But Lin Mu Studio is doing online games, and suddenly changed to a buyout system, and broke through a million, which feels awkward.

"..."

Lin Yao glanced at the USB flash drive in her hand, thinking about the current situation of Lin Mu Studio, she really wanted to throw the USB flash drive into the bathtub...

But she turned around and thought about it, with the popularity of digital games, the game digital distribution platform... is really promising, and the wind blows money.

And with more and more games under Linmu Studio, it would be nice to have a platform.

Linmu Studio also has capital, because they have self-developed games, so they can build and promote their own platforms. Lin Yao’s previous life was so bad that Origin and Uplay were so bad, and some people used them, because without you, you can’t play Battlefield, and you can’t play either. Assassin's Creed ah.

"never mind."

Lin Yao clenched the USB flash drive in her hand, let's try it first, anyway, she doesn't plan to do it overnight.

As for the reward for the next task.

She doesn't care.

Because it is too vague, opportunity, what opportunity? She doesn't know either, so she can just let it happen.

The same goes for hacking software.

In the current market, Tianhu Chat's position in communication software is too stable. The reason why Kaihei can open up the situation is because of the game. Transformation really may not be able to beat Tianhu Chat, and rashly transforming, it is easy to disgust the original gamers, so let’s see if the mobile terminal can make a breakthrough. If there is a breakthrough, you can think about changing the track.

If not, put it on hold for now.

After all.

Lin Yao is still very clear-headed. Linmu Studio is a game company first, and everything in the early stage revolves around games.

Whether it's events, game platforms, game audio, or graphics cards, the success of these must be due to the game.

But leaving the game, Linmu Studio hastily entered a field that has nothing to do with the game, and the risk is very high.

She has no interest in being a goose factory in another world for the time being.

She just wants to take the field she likes as the origin and move forward step by step.

"As soon as the task comes out, why does it feel like the vacation is over."

Lin Yao carefully put the U disk aside, then slowly moved it down, leaned on the edge of the bathtub, looked at the ceiling, raised her hands, and stretched her body a little.

Originally, she wanted to spend a few more days with salted fish.

But now the task comes out.

Inevitably, she started thinking about games and platforms.

So at this stage, what kind of game can sell millions of copies, and how can the platform's active users exceed three million...

"Xiao Yao."

Sudden.

There was a light knock on the door.

Lin Xi asked softly, "Are you alright? I've been inside for a long time, and the water is getting cold, so be careful of catching a cold."

"...I'm fine, I'll just come out."

Lin Yao came back to her senses, sat up from the bathtub, then reached out and gently rubbed her hot face.

Drops of water slid down her skin as white as the first snow.

She responded, then got up and left the bathtub.

Start changing clothes.

never mind.

Go to the studio and think about it.

...

The wind in March, rubbing and blowing the face, is warm and refreshing.

Although there is still a slight chill, spring has come unknowingly.

The new year has passed.

Linmu Studio officially started construction on March 12th.

No leave of absence.

Everyone in the office is here.

Because Lin Yao was well prepared for the holidays after the new year, it was past fifteen, and the staff in the studio had enough rest.

This will reappear in everyone in the studio, their faces are full of joy, and the tiredness of years ago has been swept away.

Lin Yao responded one by one to everyone who wished her a happy new year, and then she and Ms. Mu gave everyone a red envelope for the start of work. After finishing the work that needed to be done, she sat in her seat, plugged in a USB flash drive, and watched Look at the software documentation that Bram Cohen, the father of BT, personally developed and designed the game platform.

Sure enough, it is STEAM.

Although the project name of the development document does not have the word STEAM, whether it is functional requirements, technical analysis, interface documents, product introduction, or project summary, they all point to the original version of STEAM.

Although this document is not as explosive as it was directly given to the engine, it is indeed of great help to the development of the game platform.

certainly.

Lin Yao looked through the complicated software documentation carefully, and found that there were still many things that needed to be considered by herself.

Because this is the original version of STEAM, none of the functions that are highly praised by later generations is available, and the early steam is not easy to use.

There are many problems to be solved.

And just making a platform is not very useful.

What needs to be solved is the user problem, as well as the exclusive platform game.

If you want to attract users, you must have a reason for users to use this platform, and to retain these users, you need to spend more thought.
