There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

"have no idea."

Facing Mu Wanqing's problem.

Lin Yao couldn't give a definite answer.

After all, she is not a god... She really can't guess this kind of future.

"However, according to my judgment, the reason why our "Pokémon Legend: Arceus" was released for the first time this time, and the entire promotional film did not have many eye-catching gameplays, only Pokémon is cute. A little bit of success.

Part of it is because of the hardware. Although Switch is not that expensive compared to other consoles, it is still an electronic product worth 2,000 yuan. Most of those who own consoles are deep gamers. On our console platform, Although the current game lineup is good, it is still not rich enough, and they don't have many choices.

In addition, we are currently in the early stage of console release, and we have spent so much effort to announce and release the game. The desire of players to try is very strong.

Another part of the reason is that the reputation we have gained over the past few years and the success of the previous escort masterpieces... this trust makes players willing to trust us.

As for the last reason, it is the quality of the Pokémon game itself. "

Lin Yao flicked her ponytail lightly, and explained: "Simply speaking, it's the hardware cost, the reputation of the producer, and the quality of the game itself is good enough. But if it's a PC...the hardware cost is low, and players have more choices. , the producer is not us, and the effect may be greatly reduced.

This is my opinion, of course, I am not narcissistic..."

In fact, Lin Yao did not choose to release "Pokémon Legend: Arceus" immediately because of this.

If it is released with the host, a Pokémon game that is not bright enough and not attractive enough to attract attention will be very inconspicuous among a bunch of games that can attract attention in an instant after releasing a promotional video.

"The Legend of Zelda", "Splatoon", "Mario Kart" and even "1-2switch" have too distinctive features.

If Lin Yao is a player.

In the absence of any bonus, she saw the starting lineup, and she was more likely to choose "1-2 Switch", which is more important to announce than to make money, than to choose Pokémon games...

But the second time it was released, it was different.

The previous escort masterpiece was a great success, and players who played it all said it was good.

Now that the host is bought, the escort masterpiece is over.

Linmu Studio has announced a new game. Although this game does not seem to be as impressive as the previous escort masterpieces, you can't afford to buy a console, right? And the producer is Linmu Studio, Pokémon is also very cute, why don't you... give it a try?

Then the players tried and found that "Pokémon Legend: Arceus" was more fun than expected...

Everything has become a matter of course.

This is Lin Yao's little thought.

certainly.

In a way.

She is also an afterthought now. Although she thought so at the beginning, whether she can succeed or not is actually between the two...

"I see……"

After listening to Lin Yao's words, Mu Wanqing nodded slowly.

It seems that this is the case.

The console is one thing, but porting to the PC platform is another.

Unless domestic counterparts also want to be hosts.

But for the mainframe, Mu Wanqing, as the person who has followed the whole process from the establishment of the mainframe project to its release, knows very clearly that it is really not easy to do...

Linmu Studio is in a state of desperation for the mainframe... because the process of contacting the third party is very difficult, there is no big third party willing to make exclusive games for the mainframe of Linmu Studio, and they are not willing to log in on all platforms.

Because compared to traditional hosts, the performance is too poor.

Linmu Studio can only rely on the first party for support.

But the first party... Without Lin Yao, Mu Wanqing couldn't even imagine what would happen to the host.

It is estimated that there will be a year-round shortage of games for players... how can there be the current situation.

Besides, even if other domestic counterparts can solve the above problems, they are not as famous as Linmu Studio.

And the current reputation of Linmu Studio cannot be obtained overnight.

Unless, there is one more Lin Yao.

Thinking of this, Mu Wanqing looked at the girl sitting on the chair who was holding a mobile phone, and smiled gently.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Yao read the message, and just as she put down her phone, she saw a smile appearing on Mu Wan's fair and fair face, she was a little curious.

"I think you are very powerful." Mu Wanqing said in a low voice.

"...Of course!" Hearing Mu Wanqing's praise, Lin Yao immediately felt relieved, put down her phone, and proudly puffed out her chest, jokingly.

"..."

Seeing the young girl's appearance, Mu Wanqing felt that her powerful emotions disappeared in an instant. She stretched out her hand to gently stroke her towering pride, and then couldn't help laughing, and said with a pun: "Okay, I know you are amazing..."

"...I'll fight with you! Mu Wanqing!"

Lin Yao was stunned for a moment, looked down at her chest, and instantly frowned, stood up from the chair with a brush, lightly grabbed Mu Wanqing's neck, and shook her vigorously: "You did it on purpose! You must It was on purpose! You laughed at me, right? I felt my shoulders were getting sore during this period of time, and I didn’t know what to do, but you still laughed at me!... No, come here!"

The more Lin Yao talked, the more angry she became, and finally dragged Mu Wanqing to the empty meeting room.

Mu Wanqing: "...?"

Today's Lin Mu Studio...is still very lively.

...

May 2nd.

The sales volume of "Pokémon Legend: Arceus" has officially exceeded 2.5 million sets! As a new IP, a new IP whose actual gameplay doesn’t look very eye-catching, finally achieved more than two million sales.

And during this period of time, sales still maintained a very good growth, and there was no sign of a drop in the slightest.

It's really a miracle.

Of course, this is normal for outsiders and Lin Yao.

If the Pokémon game only has feelings and no fun, it will not become the most profitable IP...

In fact.

Many players here have become Pokémon fans.

Other players have begun to summarize the attributes, attribute restraint, and evolutionary forms of all elves in "Pokémon Legend: Arceus".

And the more you summarize, the more surprised the players will be.

real.

They didn't expect that under the cute appearance of Pokémon, there is such a complicated and interesting mechanism!

Linmu Studio didn't just make a few cute Pokémon.

Instead, it has made a whole ecology!

Really great!

Now many players who have become fans and are willing to study the game are even thinking...if Pokémon can fight against humans instead of fighting against Pokémon...with the game mechanism, it will feel more interesting!

Yes.

Players have already begun to predict the content of the Pokémon sequel...

And Lin Yao was very happy when she saw such a post.

It is no longer a matter of taking the first step.

Players have begun to spontaneously look forward to the most traditional Budokan plot in the Pokémon series, which means that Linmu Studio can allow players to experience the most orthodox and authentic Pokémon games...

but.

There is no rush now...

In the first half of the year, the works released by Linmu Studio were not limited to "Pokémon".

In fact, there are certain rules for the release of console games.

Linmu Studio's intensive release of multiple first-party masterpieces in a short period of time is considered very fast.

no way.

In order to get more users and chips in the coming mobile Internet era.

Definitely have to pay some costs.

Next, next month, Linmu Studio will have an "ARMS"...

this day.

Lin Yao read the post, and after being busy with the production of "Dark Soul" for a long time, she turned around and ran to the console product department on the 14th floor.

The separate promotional video for "ARMS" came out, but Zhu Nianqiao proposed to make another introduction video about the somatosensory gameplay, and specially called Lin Yao, asking her to come and participate.

"It's probably like this, senior sister, I want to make a real machine battle video to fully introduce the somatosensory gameplay of the ARMS fighting game to the players. The protagonists are you and me... how about it?"

As soon as Zhu Nianqiao saw Lin Yao, she immediately went up to meet her, explained to her, and carefully asked her opinion.

"So you're embarrassing me?" Lin Yao glared at her lightly.

"It's shameful, it's a display of charm."

Zhu Nianqiao said confidently: "The internal staff of Linmu Studio, a boss, and the person in charge of the console game department, personally demonstrate the gameplay, whether it is to attract attention or show the gameplay, the effect will be very good!"

"..."

Lin Yao fell silent upon hearing this.

She had to admit it.

Zhu Nianqiao was right.

Because "ARMS" is not like "Pokémon", this game is actually a fighting game, but the most important selling point is the sense of motion.

When it comes to fighting games, the "ARMS" of Linmu Studio has very little advantage.

Not only did Lin Yao have a small advantage in her previous life, but she also has a small advantage in this world.

After all, fighting games are a very old genre.

"ARMS" focuses on creativity and differentiation.

And this game, if it is promoted in person... the effect will indeed be very good.

"Is that the decision?"

Seeing that Lin Yao was silent, Zhu Nianqiao cautiously approached her and asked.

"...Well, but two people are too monotonous."

Lin Yao thought for a while, then nodded and agreed: "How about this, you can also call Zhong Xiu and Qi Jianhua, and take care of both male and female players.

Probably change the process, first introduce the operation, and then insert the game screen and real screen of the battle, um, that's it. "

"...That's not a problem."

Zhu Nianqiao didn't object when he heard the words, but after thinking for a while, he asked, "But will Qi Jianhua agree?"

"Where can this game be good? Even if you can't move and catch people, can't you throw a punch?"

Lin Yao laughed and said: "Besides, there was only one name in the previous legend about him, and his appearance was not exposed. What are you afraid of? If it doesn't work, you should try to convince him!"

"It makes sense... okay!"

Zhu Nianqiao thought about it carefully, and felt that it made sense, so he turned his head and ran away full of energy.

Just do it.

Not a trace of sloppy.

"..."

Lin Yao looked at Zhu Nianqiao who rushed down to call someone, and smiled helplessly.

It's really energetic... She wants to borrow some of it.

...

The Legend of Pokémon: Arceus just took off.

After a brief moment of joy.

Linmu Studio turned around and devoted itself to the announcement of the next game.

May 3rd.

Zhu Nianqiao persuaded Qi Jianhua and Zhong Xiu, and then, together with Lin Yao, followed the staff to a professional studio.

In fact, it is not difficult to record the video of playing the game on the real machine.

It's better to say that editing is more troublesome.

but.

The recording of this actual game play video was a bit beyond Lin Yao's expectations.

That was Qi Jianhua's dish, which was beyond her expectation...

He's really that special kind of person who has food etched into his DNA...

He played a somatosensory game of punching, you can believe it... it's outrageous!

but.

Although there are some bumps in the process, the overall progress is very fast.

And the four of them were having a good time... Mainly Zhu Nianqiao, Zhong Xiu and Qi Jianhua were having a good time.

Lin Yao is fine.

The main reason is that her partner Zhu Nianqiao is too lively...

Lively too much...

The game begins.

She just punched the old master to death, and output to the screen.

Lin Yao was really afraid that when she got excited, she would turn around and punch herself or the screen...

And her Wang Baquan didn't have the slightest method.

As a person who played the game "ARMS" in her previous life, Lin Yao can easily dodge attacks without much movement...

"Take it easy, this is a game, don't act like you want to break the screen..."

Another game.

Zhu Nianqiao still looks like that.

Lin Yao finally couldn't bear it anymore and reminded her.

"Eh?"

Hearing Lin Yao's voice, Zhu Nianqiao stopped Wang Baquan, looked at Lin Yao with slightly disheveled hair, and said, "Momentum, senior sister! Doesn't this kind of game depend on aura? It depends on aura. Frighten your opponent, and win in the end! Such a soft movement like a senior, what kind of momentum does that have."

"So you won?"

Lin Yao questioned her soul.

"Eh..." Zhu Nianqiao paused.

Lin Yao shook her head helplessly, then put down the handle in her palm, and stretched out her hand to pin the strands of hair sticking to her small face behind her ears.

"..."

Zhu Nianqiao was stunned for a moment, and then she, who was not afraid of anything, felt a little embarrassed: "Senior sister, you are so mature at this time, you are usually a girl younger than me..."

"Um?"

"Chance!"

Lin Yao just said "hmm" in a puzzled and rising tone.

Zhu Nianqiao suddenly yelled coquettishly, turned around suddenly, and punched the character in Lin Yao's game.

Lin Yao couldn't dodge because she put down the handle.

It was OK directly!

"Yes! I won! I finally won! Sister!"

See hints for victory.

Zhu Nianqiao immediately raised her hands, turned around and took two steps forward, hugging Lin Yao.

Very excited.

Lin Yao was silent for a moment: "...this round doesn't count!"

"Hey... I just praised senior sister for being mature..."

"Anyway, the one just now doesn't count!"

"..."

Although it is said to be a promotional film.

But in the end, the four of them played together all afternoon...

But anyway, the final material was recorded.

Next, wait for the popularity of "Pokémon Legend: Arceus" to fade and it will be officially released.

As for whether it will affect the sales of "Pokémon Legend: Arceus", Lin Yao is not worried about this.

Players don't just play one game.

May 10th.

After the sales volume of "Pokémon Legend: Arceus" exceeded 3 million copies, the sales growth momentum stopped and the curve stabilized.

Because of the installed capacity.

If you want to sell more games in the future, you can only grind slowly until the installed capacity of the console increases.

There is no rush.

And the players have a thorough understanding of the gameplay and selling points of Pokémon games.

Most of the players have cleared the level, and even started the second week.

And at this point in time.

Linmu Studio started the large-scale announcement of "ARMS"...

In addition to the regular promotional videos, there is also a real machine promotional video.

Real machine promotional videos are not uncommon.

But the title of the promotional video of the real machine is "The High-Level Showdown of Linmu Studio"...

Speaking of this, players will not be sleepy.

Linmu Studio, a game company, is actually quite mysterious to many players.

Their production process and the internal situation of their company are becoming more and more attractive as the popularity of Linmu Studio gradually increases, but there is very little relevant public information.

So many players are very curious.

This is normal.

After all, in Lin Yao's previous life, many players were interested in game companies.

Gossip is human nature.

Moreover, it is not unheard of for Linmu Studios to join the battle to promote the game. The most recent one was the announcement of the MOBA game.

It works really well.

So as soon as the real machine video was released, a large wave of players couldn't wait to get in.

The real machine video is a supplement to the promotional film.

In order to introduce more specific gameplay of the game.

But the whole video, editing is still very cool.

Iconic logo, handle slides, clicks after.

Accompanied by dynamic music.

The battle screens flashed one by one.

The player's first impression is that it is gorgeous... the same gorgeousness!

Linmu Studio has really changed a lot! Whether it is the previous escort masterpiece, or the current Pokémon and "ARMS", they all use high-contrast colors, which look very dreamy and cute.

And the player's second feeling is... the game must be very interesting.

This is the conclusion drawn by players after playing the previous escort masterpiece and "Pokémon Legend: Arceus".

And the promotional video did not disappoint them.

After the game screen.

Then start teaching.
