There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

The scene of the e-sports festival.

Watch the game on the big screen.

The black and white box freezes to become the LOGO.

The cheers of the audience were deafening and did not subside for a long time.

This time, everyone thought it was over.

After all, stopping here is already perfect.

The atmosphere has been completely mobilized.

At this time, as long as the lights are turned on, the host announces the opening of the forest e-sports.

Definitely get another big wave of cheers and extremely high evaluation!

Even Frank thought it would be perfect if it ended here, and he had even picked up his coffee, ready to welcome the host to announce the opening when the lights came on.

But everyone waited a while.

The lights didn't come on.

The only thing that was lit was still the big screen for watching the game.

And the black and white box logo on the big screen for watching the game suddenly moved.

It rotates, and its shape is constantly changing, as if it is about to form someone's face, and it seems to be broken down into small parts.

subsequently.

It changes form faster and faster.

Finally, at the node that is almost invisible.

Suddenly stopped.

As if disintegrating, it flew away in all directions.

then.

A still picture appeared on the screen.

The camera moved forward slowly, aiming at a certain building.

Then focus on a badge.

【PC Product Department, Zhong Xiu】

The line above is clearly visible.

After seeing this line of words clearly, the original still picture.

Suddenly began to flow.

Then the sound, the horn of the car rang in the venue.

It's a busy morning.

Zhong Xiu, holding a badge, walked slowly towards the building.

He passed through the gate in the lobby, then pressed the elevator, took the elevator to his department, sat down, and started working.

The footage is unremarkable, but clean.

Just like countless ordinary mornings in the past.

Then, as Zhong Xiu sat down, the picture changed.

Another figure appeared on the camera.

This time it was a petite woman standing in front of the elevator.

On the badge on her chest was written the words 'Zhu Nianqiao, Main Unit Products Department'.

She walked into the elevator, and then pressed the floor button different from Zhong Xiu's, and came to the console product department on a higher floor.

And the same is.

Both he and Zhong Xiu greeted their colleagues on the way, and then immediately sat in their seats and started working.

The screen switches again.

A new building.

Nie Hui, the person in charge of Linmu Gaming, appeared on the screen.

He was in the elevator, looking up slightly at the beating floor numbers.

on site.

In the studio.

All the audience knew where the place in the video was, and they fell silent.

The cheering at the scene also stopped.

become audible.

Frank, who was far away in North America, was also taken aback when he saw the picture on the screen.

...It's not over yet?

And in the video.

Outside the building, in front of the elevator, in the elevator.

The pictures of three different time nodes seem to represent the journey to the company.

Then.

It's the picture inside the company.

But the camera was not aimed at the three people who had just appeared, but at a staff member named Xiang Yongsi.

He sat in his seat, leaning forward slightly to stare at the screen.

On the screen, an accessory from "Breakout" was displayed.

Although it is only modeled in black and white, anyone who plays "Breakout" can recognize it.

Here's a special charm in this year's Breakout box!

The staff member named Xiang Yongsi carefully adjusted the shape of the jewelry, and the camera slowly zoomed up, and he could see the original painting of the jewelry on his left hand side.

Finally, after confirming that there is no problem with the accessories.

The staff member named Xiang Yongsi stood up, left his seat, and just passed another staff member.

The camera moves along with the trend.

Instead, he started aiming at the staff member who passed by.

With a stack of documents under his arm, the staff member hurried to a conference room and closed the door.

Then distribute the file in hand to everyone who was already in the conference room.

On the document, an early concept drawing of a new hero was drawn.

A cyborg assassin.

It was an elegant lady, standing tall and straight, but what supported her upright was a pair of sharp leg knives!

See this character.

The "Hero" players reacted instantly.

This is a new hero who just launched, named Camille.

Planners and hero designers, holding early concept drawings, started discussions on this hero in the conference room.

After the meeting.

A group of people filed out and just ran into a staff member who was about to knock on the door.

A group of people greeted the staff member.

Then the staff member nodded and turned to leave.

The camera moves again.

He pointed at the staff member who was just about to knock on the door.

He came to a new department, and then whispered a few words next to a person, telling them to go to the meeting room first, then sat down again, and began to print out the required documents.

The title of that document is - 'Event Linkage Plan'.

He printed the entire document, then went to the printer to get the document, turned his head and headed to the conference room.

On the way, he happened to pass by several staff members from outside the product department, and the leader was Nie Hui, the event manager.

They seem to know each other.

He smiled and said hello.

Nie Hui also smiled.

The camera shifted again, pointing at the staff of Linshu Esports.

They came to the marketing department and began to discuss their plans with Xi Qianyu, the head of the marketing department.

After listening, Xi Qianyu, the person in charge of the marketing department, thought for a while, then nodded, and the two groups of people separated again.

Then the camera came to Xi Qianyu again.

The timeline splits in two at this moment.

On the one hand, it was given to the marketing department, and on the other hand, it was given to the staff of Linshu E-sports who left.

Nie Hui led the staff back to Linmu Esports, and then pulled a whiteboard, and wrote the words "Mario Kart Exhibition Competition" in front of all the staff of Linmu Esports.

As for the headquarters, the entire marketing department started to operate and gave Xi Qianyu the market data she needed.

She read the data, revised the whole plan into a book, and then came to Man Wanqing.

The camera switches again, showing Man Wanqing.

After reading the whole plan, Mu Wanqing walked out of the administrative department, came to the elevator, and pressed the floor of the host product department.

And the timeline is here.

Subdivide again.

The staff of the host product department also began to appear in the camera.

Events, activities, gameplay, characters, props, accessories...

Planning, discussion, original drawing, modeling, coloring, testing...

The process is in circulation.

Forest Studio is running.

And countless staff are the components that make up this machine.

They are in the short film.

Show your true side.

With passion and sheer love for the game, projects or initiatives that players know or don't know about are driven.

Then.

The second half of the short film.

The camera showed the three people who appeared at the beginning of the video—Zhong Xiu, Zhu Nianqiao, and Nie Hui.

All the projects and plans intersect and come together.

They're like hubs, the hubs that connect those different projects together.

The camera switches.

the three of them,

One focused on the preparations for the event.

A gaming business focused on the PC sector.

A gaming business focused on the console sector.

At this time, more familiar games and projects appeared on the screen.

There are online games, stand-alone games, and hardware like swich.

The planners brainstormed, the artists and programs worked hard, and the testers were meticulous...

In the second half of the video, the screen began to speed up, and various montages flashed one by one.

As for the audience at the scene, although they didn't know what Linmu Studio wanted to do.

But it was fascinating to watch.

After all, most of the players present really liked this company.

North America.

Frank held his coffee, looked at the short film on the screen, and smiled softly: "It's pretty smart, knowing that making short films can increase the sense of identity..."

He said he was smart, but there was a disapproving expression on his face... He shook his head, lowered his head and took a sip of his coffee.

But the next second.

puff--

Look at the screen again.

Frank spit out all the coffee in his mouth.

But he didn't care about his embarrassment at all.

He put down the glass abruptly, pounced forward like a vicious dog, and then wiped the screen with his sleeve.

Then, staring, motionless, staring at the screen.

And at the same time.

There was also a wave of exclamation at the scene.

The first half of the short film is the planning of the existing game.

In the second half of the short film, in addition to more games and projects that players are familiar with, there are many projects that players are not familiar with, or that seem to have been similar...

For example, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2).

The project name appears on the screen.

It is precisely because of seeing this picture for a short time.

The players became restless for a moment.

After all, those who can come to the scene are basically old players of Linmu Studio's games. Even if they haven't played this game, they have heard of it, and they know exactly how many players are looking forward to this game.

As for European and American players, such as Hank and David, they even jumped up from their chairs.

“Wuhu!!!”

They raised their hands high.

Make strange noises with other players who are looking forward to the game.

Is it a new game? Does it indicate that a new game is in the works?

but.

After all, it's just a fleeting image.

So soon the players calmed down.

but.

They didn't stay calm for long.

Because of the name "Dark Souls Ⅱ" (Dark Souls 2), it appeared.

This time it went a step further, and even a brief boss screen appeared.

Players look at the screen, at the tester's computer in the clip.

Looking at the wide scene and the cloudy sky, there is a silver-white flowing hair, a crown on his head, and a gold breastplate on the screen. The fine carvings on it inadvertently resurface the appearance of the previous boss Ge Wen, holding a flashing thunder spear the boss.

I can't help it!

This time, more people stood up and stared at the big screen watching the game.

This picture is too unexpected!

There are real screens!

What does this mean! ?

This means it's playable!

But the excitement and excitement of the players did not affect the rhythm of the short film.

Although the real machine screen appeared, the screen of "Dark Soul 2" still disappeared in a flash.

Then came the games from the host department.

Players saw the Uncle Mario that Forest Studio liked very much, saw more cartoon-style characters, and then saw a zombie-like existence similar to the biochemical mode of "Breakout".

But this time the zombie looks more terrifying, its whole body is rotten, and one arm is completely alienated, turning into an extremely sharp and huge claw.

He also has a new name - Tyrant.

Short films are fast paced.

More project groups appeared, and there were departments that players had no idea what they were doing.

After showing the forest studio.

The camera is aimed at the window.

Outside the window, the sunlight flicked by.

The sunlight changes colors until it disappears.

Twilight is approaching.

then.

The rhythm of the entire short film suddenly slowed down.

The staff got off work and began to leave one after another.

And before they leave, they will pick up the results of their whole day's work and come to a certain room.

They would walk in and come out empty-handed.

People are walking less and less.

But Zhong Xiu didn't leave, instead he stayed and played games with a few friends during the break time.

Then he packed his things and prepared to leave.

Before he left, he also came to a certain room.

The camera follows him closely.

Zhong Xiu pushed the door open and walked in.

The appearance of the room appeared on the screen.

It was a pure white room, as if it was made of light.

But the room is not for nothing.

There is a column in the center of the room, and there is a display stand on it, and there is a 'box' that changes shape constantly.

Connected!

The audience at the scene saw this scene.

Invariably, they all thought of the final scene of the e-sports festival promotional video...the 'box' put on by Lin Yao!

They vaguely realized something.

But as Zhong Xiu walked over, the box suddenly stopped changing its shape.

Zhong Xiu opened the box smoothly, and then put a model of the Akimbo 1887 shotgun and a model of the iconic two-handed sword of Dark Souls into the box.

The audience already understood what Linmu Studio meant.

Half of the people were cheering, and half of them smiled knowingly.

And on the screen.

After Zhong Xiu left.

The camera is fixed in the room.

Not for a while.

The door was pushed open again.

Qi Jianhua appeared on the screen, and he also came to the box, and put the zombie model named Tyrant into the box.

Then, it was Zhu Nianqiao, with brisk steps, she also put a model of Mario, the most iconic character in the "Animal Crossing" series - a model of Luke into the box.

Then.

There are also many staff members that players meet for the first time come into the room and put things into the box.

A young man with Kang Yi written in his name on his badge put a ninja model, an adventurer model, and a model of the famous World of Warcraft prop Hearthstone into the box.

A middle-aged man named Bao Liangzhe, who looked to be in his thirties, with long flowing hair and a ponytail, put a Switch with a special color into the box, and a Switch that could only be seen A corner, but it is completely unclear what kind of machine it is.

A staff member named Li Qi with a Mediterranean hairstyle and a bitter melon face put a model of an ax into the box, with the word "Kaishan" engraved on it...

All kinds of staff walked into the room one by one.

Then I put my 'work results' into the box...

The players at the scene looked up at the screen slightly, and more people smiled knowingly.

And Kou Hong, who participated in the shooting of this short film, sat in his seat and looked up at the screen at the same time.

After he was stunned for a long time, he also laughed.

In fact, at the beginning, he didn't know what the short film was about.

After watching the opening ceremony performance just now, he even felt that this short film should not be played at the opening ceremony.

Because it doesn't feel right.

The atmosphere is not right.

but.

Now I saw with my own eyes one by one the staff who appeared in the short film, pushed open the door and walked into the room, and then put the 'work results' into the box...

He felt he was wrong.

Not only is it appropriate, it's even... romantic.

right.

It is romantic.

He felt that many people should feel the same way as him.

Watch the game on the big screen.

The clip is still playing.

The last to enter the room.

He is the person in charge of Linmu Gaming.

The leader of this e-sports festival - Nie Hui.

He didn't walk fast, and when he came to the box, the things he put in were also very simple.

It was a small trophy.

And after he put away his 'work results', before going out, he looked back at the box and smiled slightly.

Then.

No one came in the room anymore.

became quieter.

The camera rotated around, and then aimed at the display stand in the middle of the room.

The screen doesn't change.

But the audience at the scene was not impatient.

Instead, wait patiently.

really.

There was silence for about ten seconds.

blah blah——

suddenly.

Footsteps sounded.

then.

Click——

The door was unscrewed again.

The sound of light footsteps became clearer from far to near.

The footsteps are getting closer, getting closer...

Then, a pair of snowy long legs appeared in the camera.

She stepped on a pair of high heels, her calves were tight, her curves were alluring, her delicate white ankles were raised high, and her white arches and insteps matched each other, forming a sexy and seductive curve.

Exactly the same as the promotional video...! ! !

"OHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

auditorium.

Everyone, cheer up immediately!

Although you can't see your face at all.

Although a lot of people just walked into the room.

There are so many though.

But the players still cheered in unison.

Because they know who this person is!

Even if she didn't appear for a second in the short film!

But everyone knows.

Who is the core person and the biggest hub of the company Linmu Studio!

The overwhelming cheers.

Resounding throughout the venue!

And on the screen.

The last person who came also stopped at this time, and stopped in front of the constantly changing box.

Then.

She suddenly reached out her hand and raised the camera.

Align it with yourself.

next scene.

Lin Yao's round and moving oval face appeared in the center of the camera.

She smiled brightly at everyone, then stretched out her other hand, touched the box, and gently pushed it up.

bang——

Accompanied by the sound of a box being opened.

The screen suddenly went dark.

then.

In the center of the pitch-black screen, a white line suddenly appeared.

It's like opening a box!

It was like dawn!

Waiting for the audience to react.

Fence advertising screens surrounding the entire stadium.

All lights up.

At the same time, the screen on the main stage was lit up.

Watch the game on the big screen.

Two secondary screens.

All screens light up! The logo of the Forest E-sports Festival appeared on it!

That ever-changing box!

It dances across the screen.

As if about to explode.

Accompanied by dynamic background music.

Then the next moment.

……opened!

Countless meteor-like clusters of light wrapped in something flew out of the box.

They scattered like shooting stars.

Immediately afterwards, the next second, the spotlights on the stage suddenly turned on.

Scanned the entire venue.

on the screen.

The other meteor-like light clusters disappeared, and the largest and most conspicuous light cluster appeared in the center of the screen.

It is accompanied by cheers from the players.

Starting from the starting point of the big screen for watching the game, the advertising screen around the fence of the entire stadium flies past like a real shooting star.

Gone in a flash!

The whole venue.

The screens lit up in turn according to the trajectory of the meteor, and countless viewers looked up at the advertising screen above their heads.

The atmosphere was pushed to the top.

finally.

The meteor came to the subsequent newly built split screen above the main stage, and then split into four.

Fall suddenly!

The spotlight then aimed at the shooting star that divided into four.

Where they fell, last year's champion team appeared there.

Their expressions are serious. Holding the trophy, following the falling meteor, he returned the highest honor he achieved last year, the trophy, to its original position.

"Breakout"!

"hero"!

"Warcraft"!

"DOTA"!

The championship trophies of the four events returned to their original positions.

Immediately afterwards.

Real fireworks on the edge of the stage, jetting out.

Meteors falling to the ground, like fireworks exploding, appeared on the screen of the main stage.

The camera is aimed at the main stage.

Aim at those trophies that symbolize the highest glory.

Aimed at the host.

The host, who has never been absent from the e-sports festival, turned his back to the splendid scene, picked up the microphone, and roared with his iconic voice.

Speak the first sentence since the opening of the e-sports festival!

"Welcome to----"

"Forest e-sports festival!!!!!!"

“OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!”

auditorium.

Countless spectators immediately stood up, and some players even took off their clothes and waved them vigorously.

They gave the loudest cheers of the night!

And live on the website.

Countless players followed the carnival!

came back!

The feeling of watching the Breakout Challenge for the first time is back!

Hi! ! !

...

at the same time.

North America.

Frank watched the brilliant performance and the gorgeous pictures, watched the trophy return at the end, and heard the host announce the opening and said "Welcome to the Forest E-sports Festival".

Also showed a shocked expression.

He also watched the whole process, and was indeed a little surprised in the end...

But what he cared most about was the short film just now.

He is not a fool.

Although he hadn't imagined before that the forest e-sports festival would have anything to do with the new game.

but.

After watching the short film.

Watched the opening performance of the e-sports festival.

He discovered... Linmu Studio really made the two of them related.

Finally, the 'box' was opened, which foreshadowed the opening of the e-sports festival!

But the 'achievements' put in the 'box' are not limited to e-sports festivals! ! !

He suddenly thought of a possibility...

No way?

No way! ! ?

Frank picked up the coffee numbly and took a long gulp.

Although it is early in the morning.

But he already kind of misses alcohol.

He glanced at the decanter not far away, fell silent for a moment, then shook his head vigorously, trying to calm down.

Will not!

But...he said no, but after watching the opening ceremony, he didn't intend to turn off the live broadcast at all.

Instead, he was still staring straight at the screen...

at the same time.

on site.

The audience is already in high spirits.

When the host almost said a word, they had to cheer once.

And the organizer of Linmu Workshop obviously wanted all players not to have a holiday tonight.

The moderator didn't mean to make a long speech at all.

After finishing the simple opening remarks.

Immediately afterwards.

Just announced the opening match of tonight's "Breakout" project.

Last year's champion team FEIREN played against the European and American strong team Ninjas in Pyjamas!

Just passed the opening ceremony.

Immediately afterwards, there was a confrontation between strong domestic and overseas teams.

When the host introduces the players to play.

If it weren't for venue restrictions.

The players are all dancing in place.

And on stage.

Following the host's words, it fell.

The members of the two teams came on stage one by one, greeted with their own cheers and applause.

Lu Tai of the FEIREN team stood on the stage. After years of tempering, he actually seldom felt nervous.

But the only exception is... the most important official stage of the forest e-sports festival.

Listening to the deafening, tens of thousands of people shouted 'FEIREN! '.

Lu Tai lightly clenched his fists and murmured: "It still has to be an e-sports festival...Compared with this, the championship is simply nothing... But it's normal when you think about it, after all, the gold content is nothing compared to the big picture."

Say it.

He turned his head and glanced at the trophy that had just been returned behind him, showing a firm look.

And turn back the moment.

He noticed that the players from Ninjas in Pyjamas were also looking at the trophy.

Lu Tai looked at them. Then they looked at each other and smiled.

He knows what the other person thinks.

Same idea as him.

Opening ceremony!

The atmosphere is heightened to the apex!

In front of so many people!

Can't lose!

Then, want to win the championship! The one and only champion!

All the teams that came to the scene today have the same idea.

There is nothing to hide.

Let's see the real chapter.

Lu Tai clenched his fist.

Then, after the host finished his opening remarks, introduced everyone, and said the words 'give it to the commentary desk'.

Into the soundproof room.

The first opener of the Forest E-sports Festival! Let's fight!

...

North America.

Frank stared at the live broadcast without moving.

The host didn't say anything superfluous.

In the opening remarks, the players are introduced, and then the commentary from the commentary desk comes on stage.

Then, the game began.

The process is very ordinary.

Nothing unexpected at all.

This relieved him who was tense just now.

"Ha, I really thought too much... It's impossible to think about it."

Frank watched the game screen appear on the screen, leaned back in his chair, and felt a little lucky while relaxing.

But he still didn't turn off the live broadcast.

As for why.

He doesn't know either.

on the screen.

The match between the two teams started.

The game has just started.

They are still in the group stage, so they are playing BO1.

Who can achieve 16 wins in 30 rounds.

Whoever is the final winner.

Sounds fast.

But this is a top team, and the ability to adjust is terrifying.

How could it be possible for the other party to take him lightly.

The two teams played the full 30 rounds directly in the opening game, and went directly to the playoffs.

The two teams, holding the idea of ​​​​absolutely not to lose, directly contributed a top duel to all players from the very beginning.

This makes the commentator and the audience even more excited!

During the playoffs, the commentators shouted passionately, and the players shouted for cheers, too.

The only one who doesn't feel hi.

It was Frank.

He doesn't like watching games.

But he insisted on watching.

finally.

The opening match of the "Breakout" project of the Forest E-sports Festival.

It ended with a score of 19-17.

The two teams played a full 36 innings, and finally FEIREN won.

When the two domestic commentators announced the results of the battle, their mouths were almost crooked.

Fortunately, I restrained...

They replayed the game, congratulated FEIEREN, and then comforted the players of Ninjas in Pyjamas, and then said the concluding remarks.

"Then, let's take a short rest, the opening match of the "Heroes" project, let's start right away!"

The two commentators look at the camera.

Then the picture cuts off shortly thereafter.

This is break time and prep time for the teams...and commercial time.

The audience at the scene and the audience watching the live broadcast can take advantage of this time to go to the toilet or calm down.

In fact.

Many players are indeed ready to go to the toilet at this time.

After all, there was no urination point in the whole process just now, and now there is finally a gap, and they have to grasp it.

North America.

Frank saw that the game was over, and the commentator announced the break, and his patience was almost exhausted.

"Sure enough, I thought too much, how could it be possible!"

He picked up the coffee in one hand, wanted to finish the last cup of coffee, held the mouse in the other hand, strengthened his thoughts, and moved the cursor to the X on the web page.

but.

Haven't had time to click on it yet.

He stopped...

And at the same time stopped.

There are also players on the scene who are going to the toilet.

Because the logo of the e-sports festival, the black and white box, appeared on the screen again.

It looked like it was about to explode again, changing its shape crazily, and then opened a crack.

New light clusters flew out.

It also turned into a meteor and fell on the main stage.

then.

The first advertisement for the e-sports festival appeared.

But it is not the ordinary advertisements that players recognize.

A staff member appeared on the screen.

He sat at the workstation in the headquarters of Linmu Studio, looked at the camera, and opened a sentence.

Just let the player who wanted to go to the toilet hold back the urge to urinate abruptly.

"Hi, everyone... I'm Li Xiyao, the person in charge of the "Call of Duty" project."

"..."

These words instantly silenced the auditorium.

At the same time, Frank's hand holding the cup shook violently.

boom--

The cup of coffee falls.

Cooling coffee spilled on Frank's crotch.

His lips were white and trembling slightly, he looked at the screen, and then at his drenched crotch.

Although he didn't mean that subjectively.

But at this moment, he vividly explained what it means to be scared to pee...
