There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

Lin Yao also reads the forum, she didn't expect the game to get such feedback.

Testing hasn't started yet.

Players mentioned "Breakout" frequently, showing a lack of interest in the new game.

This made her start to doubt whether her decision was correct.

Because her greatest experience comes from her previous life, but the release of games in her previous life is definitely not as frequent as Linmu Studio.

When it comes to the year when the FPS blowout was released, Lin Yao has no memory. When it comes to this, her only deep impression is the two new year products released every Christmas, Call of Duty and Battlefield series.

During the release period of these two famous masterpieces, there is almost no room for other FPS games to survive, because the purchasing power of players is also limited. It is almost enough to buy two masterpieces once a year. If there is another one, you will face a choice. The rebirth of the famous Titanfall 2 was crushed to death in this way. In the face of two series with a long history and an average sales volume of tens of millions per year, the new IP is really embarrassing.

At the beginning, Lin Yao suspected that EA was doing it on purpose, just to suppress the rival Shishi, so they sold the team series and Titanfall together.

Sacrifice your godson, and then disgust your opponent...

Here comes the problem.

Seeing the player's feedback, Lin Yao suddenly wondered if she had done the same operation...

After all, "Breakout" just came out.

Zhuantou Studio has launched a new FPS game.

At the beginning, Lin Yao thought that the battle royale game would become popular, but she didn't consider that "Breakout" had just come out, and there would be bonuses from tournaments.

This won't sacrifice the battle royale game...

Lin Yao was a little worried.

After all, Battle Royale is still a buyout game.

But it's useless to worry now, the game is done.

Just test first.

Because there are too many players who signed up in the early stage, manual screening is definitely useless, and they can only be sorted according to the playing time.

Lin Yao screened out some players who had been playing the game of Linmu Studio for a long time, then read a few questionnaires, selected some people, and sent them messages.

These people will be the first testers of the battle royale game.

First round of testing.

officially opened.

Everyone only has six hours.

The first round of testing is over soon.

that day.

Lin Yao received feedback from some test players.

"I feel... I don't understand the game."

"It's not as fun as Breakout."

"The enemy is so stupid, and there are many bugs, such as near the skeleton, where will it fall..."

"The idea is very good. The innovative part of the gameplay is eye-catching. It's a bit interesting that you don't give weapons to the ground in the early stage. It's a bit interesting, but I don't know why. I always feel like playing biochemical. Those enemies are so stupid and not interesting."

"This gunfight game still has skills, so is this an FPS or an mmorpg? And I feel that the skills are too strong, which is a bit interesting, but I still choose "Breakout"."

"Let's do "Breakout" with peace of mind! Linmu Studio!"

The overall evaluation... is not ideal.

I don't know if it is affected by "Breakout", or there is a problem with the game itself.

Although many people praised the innovation of the game, most of the players who participated in the test were not interested in the game.

And such a result.

The team that made the forest studio responsible for the game production was a little frustrated.

Lin Yao also has a little bit.

Because her worries seemed to have become reality.

She also realized that she might have been too optimistic.

The game type of Battle Royale actually existed before PUBG appeared, but it was not until PUBG appeared that this game type was considered a real hit.

During the period, the credit of the game anchor was indispensable.

Like the sailing games of a while.

The host also contributed a lot.

And there is no live broadcast environment from the previous life, plus the impact of breaking out...

Miscalculated.

Lin Yao looked at the feedback from the players in her hands, sighed secretly, then raised her head, looked at the frustrated members of the game production team, and smiled: "Okay, don't be downcast, what do players want for the success of a game?" No one can tell what game to play, and we at Linmu Studio can't say clearly. The game feedback is unsatisfactory, but we can't give up. Let's modify and adjust the game as usual. No matter what, the game still has to be made.

Don't worry so much, even if the game fails in the end, it's still my responsibility, and I take full responsibility. "

"...I really think the game is interesting."

Zhong Xiu looked at Lin Yao and said with a wry smile: "I thought this game was very interesting in the early stage of production. Although I didn't understand your purpose of adding the legendary system at the beginning, after the production, I gradually understood that this game is really interesting. It's fun, but the players..."

"It doesn't matter what we say, and we don't have to teach players how to play the game. Everything depends on the player's choice."

Lin Yao shook her head: "And I overlooked one thing when I first started making it, that is "Breakout" in our studio, this game is in the limelight, and Reflecta is holding an event right? This situation Under the circumstances, the decision to make a game of the same type may be a bit problematic. You must know that most FPS game players are in "Breakout"."

Zhong Xiu defended: "But Battle Royale is a completely different game from "Breakout". Although both are FPS, the gameplay and feeling are different."

Lin Yao smiled, but did not speak.

Zhong Xiu looked at Lin Yao and opened his mouth, but finally swallowed the words back.

yes.

Let him say how many reasons.

The fact that player feedback has been less than ideal doesn't change that either.

and……

Zhong Xiu glanced at Lin Yao, feeling a little unbearable, she should be the most unwilling...

It's no use beeping here by yourself, it's just adding salt to the wound.

"Okay, the game will not be changed in general, and then the BUG and some problems that affect the experience will be modified according to the feedback from the players. The game will be released as scheduled. No matter what the feedback is, this is my hard work and yours. Let's release it on time."

Lin Yao finally concluded, then looked at the crowd, and said, "Come on."

...

The test just ended.

soon.

The news of Linmu Studio's new game test was revealed.

Although players complained about Linmu Studio's FPS game of the same type, they were still interested in the new game, so many people asked about the new game in the forum.

Among the players tested, of course some also mixed in the forum.

But they still have the spirit of perseverance.

The players who participated in the test did not disclose the news of the game, but just expressed their feelings.

"So-so, the idea is very novel, but the game is so-so."

"It's better to break through."

"It's not bad, but I have to say that Linmu Studio miscalculated this time."

"I choose to break through."

The reviews are not very good.

And such an evaluation came out.

Although it is not known how many players actually participated in the test, it did cast a shadow over the unreleased game of Linmu Studio.

And soon.

Some remarks appeared, saying that Linmu Studio had fallen from the altar...

Although Lin Yao and other staff of Linmu Studio have never felt that they are in the altar, but after the baptism of "Breakout" and the breakout event, many players really pushed Linmu Studio to the altar in their minds, thinking that they did Everything is awesome.

However, the loss of this game made them feel that the layer of holy light on Linmu Studio had suddenly disappeared.

It fell directly from the cloud into the mortal world.

It turns out that Linmu Studio also makes mistakes.

It can only be said that there is no eternal throne.

The players were a little embarrassed and a little emotional.

Lin Yao went to the forum that day and asked questions.

How did you fall to the altar?

Since when did Linmu Studio sit on the altar?

But she alone felt that it was useless for Linmu Studio to not sit on the altar. Anyway, the players felt that Linmu Studio had fallen from the altar.

Did not run away.

certainly.

Although Linmu Studio has fallen from the altar, players are still very concerned about the studio's other two games, especially "Breakout".

The tournament on Reflecta has officially started!

The strong teams from the Breakthrough Challenge are all here!

NO.1, FEIREN, NIP, Team A.

The game with such a strong lineup was directly hailed by the audience as Breakout Challenge 2.0.

Almost all players who watched the Breakout Challenge a year ago paid attention.

But this also made the new game of Linmu Studio even more embarrassing, because almost all FPS players ran to play "Breakout" and pay attention to the game.

The games of Linmu Studio were directly ignored.

Subsequent rounds of testing.

No one even pays attention anymore.

There were people who signed up, but they were not as enthusiastic as the first test.

Faced with this situation, Lin Yao was a little dumbfounded.

have to.

Crashed with the game of his own studio.

It was indeed a miscalculation.

So in the meeting at the beginning of the month, Lin Yao took the initiative to take all the responsibility for the failure of the new game, and comforted Zhong Xiu.

In any case, let's work with peace of mind.

at this time.

Lin Yao also felt that the situation was just like this, that she had made a wrong decision, that the new game was half-dead and no one was paying attention, and that the unsatisfactory test feedback was the limit.

But sometimes.

The situation is not the worst, only worse.

mid-April.

Just when Lin Yao finished the last game inside.

the next day.

Someone broke the news on the largest game forum in China.

A player who claimed to participate in the test said that he had cracked the game package of Linmu Studio's new game, and indicated that there was encryption in the game package.

The new game of Linmu Studio may be a buyout game!

As soon as this post comes out.

It caused waves in an instant.

Players who didn't pay attention to the new game of Linmu Studio came here to eat melons.

And they all expressed surprise.

no?

It's enough for Linmu Studio to release a game of the same type as "Breakout", and you still need to spend money to play it?

How confused!

Who will play this!

At the same time, because of the buyout system that was revealed, Linmu Studio was not prepared, and the players were not mentally prepared. In addition, the early game test evaluation was not high, which immediately made the players have some resistance.

It also made the game's rating even lower.

Players even thought that Linmu Studio was planning to cheat money.

Everyone said no to buy it! Whoever buys it is an idiot!

Such a public opinion environment is like adding insult to injury.

The new game of Linmu Studio has not been officially released yet, and it feels like it is about to collapse halfway.
