There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

"After the foreshadowing of the previous two colleagues, I think everyone should be able to guess what it is this time."

The scene of the e-sports festival.

Zhong Xiu appeared on the screen.

Compared with Zhu Nianqiao, he has a different style.

Although he is less than thirty years old now.

But very calm and sophisticated.

"That's right, a new surprise."

Zhong Xiu smiled, gave the answer, and sold Guan Zi at the same time: "You may remember that Linmu Studio produced a rather special game... a game based on the element of sword and halberd combat.

In that game, there is a world full of grotesques and monsters. Unknown adventurers are blessed, and will be reborn every time they die, and they will continue to challenge invincible opponents..."

Zhong Xiu hadn't finished speaking.

field.

Huge cheers erupted.

If "Super Mario: Odyssey" is a new game, players are only familiar with the image of Mario, and the overall popularity is almost low.

Then "Dark Soul" can be called a "special" work in all the game sequences of Linmu Studio.

The popularity is too high! ! !

Whoever played it didn't say a word - Lin Yao was insane! !

The difficulty of the game itself was completely incompatible with the mainstream games at that time.

When everyone is pursuing refreshing feeling in the game, Linmu Studio is actively promoting the progress of the times.

Suddenly killed a carbine...

Directly moved out of the dual platform "Dark Soul".

In addition, "The Legend of Zelda" was in the limelight at the time, and a person who called himself Uncle Lin broke the news and led all the players into the ditch...

This has made countless players embrace the idea of ​​being able to experience the open world in this game and experience the adult version of "The Legend of Zelda".

Then... at the beginning, he was taught to be a man by the big butt.

On the day the game was released, the major player communities were in mourning.

Lin Yao was delighted to get the title of 'Darkness'...

And the subsequent development of this game is even more outrageous.

Many players complained about the difficulty of this game at the beginning, but they were just complaining...

soon.

Highly difficult games bring a different kind of coolness...

Players gain experience from repeated failures, and then gain a huge sense of accomplishment when they win against difficult enemies...

This sense of accomplishment is hard to give in other games.

Many players are addicted.

Countless players turned into Shaking M.

This allowed the popularity of the game to spread again and again, attracting a large wave of players.

It became the most successful, but also the most alternative game of the year.

Even until now.

The game has been released for so long, and there are still a bunch of players in the game, developing alternative gameplays such as parkour and spikes.

It is conceivable how much the players of this game like this genre.

Even if they haven't played it, the audience must have heard the name of this game.

It's no wonder you don't cheer!

on the screen.

When Zhong Xiu recorded the video, he seemed to guess that the players would be cheering.

He paused on purpose.

Then, after the cheers from the players subsided a little, he continued: "That's right, that game is "Dark Soul"! I want to talk to you about the story of the birth of this game... Do you know? When Lin Yao proposed this plan, the key words she gave were—pain and suffering.”

"To be honest, I thought these two key words were about the plot at first, but after a rough reading of the plan, my thoughts didn't change. I didn't realize how wrong I was until it was officially in the preparation stage."

"Pain and suffering... This is about the players. In the early stage of development, when I sorted out the whole game and Lin Yao's ideas, I saw the malicious design, complicated maps, and extremely high difficulty... I was really shocked. .”

"Don't say you don't understand. When I tested it myself, I didn't understand the meaning of such a high difficulty. I was beaten until I scolded my mother."

"At one point, I even thought that this game would definitely fail..."

"But in the end, you may not believe it, but I am the first player to clear the game, and I am addicted!"

Zhong Xiu scratched his head and smiled again: "Although I still scold my mother when playing, but while making it, as a player, I go to the game to experience the unique art style and unique atmosphere formed under Lin Yao's leadership. very happy.

Of course, it's not because I feel happy that you can suffer as well... But I just feel that the game is great!

This reminds me of the old games in the past... It's not that the old games are necessarily good, the development of the times is inevitable, and as a producer, I have a clear understanding of this. "

"But one thing I have to admit is that the rapid development of the industry has indeed obliterated the original intentions of many game producers, including myself."

"Or to be more precise, let's base the goal of making games on the basis of getting players to pay, and try our best to keep players as soon as the game starts."

"This is of course a good thing to a certain extent, it will allow more players to experience the charm of the game, but on the other hand... if the game is all like this, it will be boring, right?

A classic game that doesn’t even have a large map, and relies entirely on player exploration, with equal information on monsters and players. It’s not that the game character has become stronger, but the game experience that I have become stronger...It’s also great, isn’t it? "

"So when Lin Yao said that she wanted to make a sequel to "Dark Soul"... I agreed without even thinking about it."

Zhong Xiu straightened his waist and sat upright on the chair: "And for this sequel, the key word Lin Yao gave is - a strange and magnificent journey!"

"The bell is ringing! Wake up! Everyone! It's time to spread the fire!"

Zhong Xiu clapped his hands and smiled brightly.

Then do the same as the previous colleagues.

Raise your right hand and swipe from the edge of the screen to the other side.

It's like kicking off.

disappeared from the screen.

Only the last sentence remained.

"At the end of the first generation of "Dark Souls", in front of Gwen's original furnace door, everything there was covered with a layer of white, but that was not snow, but ash, left from the world burning from the beginning to the end The ashes of King Gwyn, the ashes of the furnace, and the ashes of all the black knights.

And in the ashes, there is a golden light that shines like the sun..."

"..."

The moment Zhong Xiu's voice fell.

The screen then dimmed.

then.

The name Dark Souls II.

It slowly emerged and was fixed in the center of the screen.

But the performance of the players is... very real.

"Get out! Don't pass it on!!!"

Hear Zhong Xiu's words.

See the game name appear.

At first it was a few players, and then the whole venue was mobilized and shouted the same sentence...

Immediately afterwards, another burst of laughter broke out.

this moment.

The player completed a void interaction with Zhong Xiu and Lin Yao.

but.

After the promotional video is officially played.

The players immediately fell silent.

Because the iconic, sacred background music of "Dark Soul" sounded.

The logo of Linmu Studio appeared on the screen.

appear briefly.

And slowly disappear.

then.

The Ring of Darkness from the previous game.

appeared in the center of the screen.

Flames lingered around the edge of the Ring of Darkness.

The low-pitched narration at the beginning of the first generation of games sounded again.

At the same time, as the narration sounded.

The flames on the ring of darkness began to gradually dim...

【Yes, they did. 】

[As they speak of niches. 】

[The flame goes out. 】

[And the king...has not yet been crowned. 】

Familiar, confusing words.

then.

The Ring of Darkness faded away from the screen, replaced by Wangcheng.

The background music suddenly became louder.

The screen starts to switch quickly...

An ancient dragon straddling the city wall.

The walking dead of the undead.

A weird nun patrolling the dark dungeon.

Like a pilgrimage, wearing a red robe, the mummy marching in line.

... Right!

When the player sees this, the first impression is that it feels right.

The fire was extinguished, and all kinds of ghosts and monsters ran out...

Doomsday scenarios are everywhere.

This is Dark Souls!

And when a knight in heavy armor appeared on the screen, he raised the red dagger in his hand and plunged it into the ashes.

leaned over.

When you light a bonfire, you let your whole body be in close contact with the rising flames.

It's even more delicious!

This is undead!

only……

The second half of the promotional video is a bit wrong.

The second half is mainly a variety of battle scenes.

Mummy Juggernaut.

A knight with a shield and a one-handed sword.

Compared with the previous work.

They move more fluidly and look faster and more aggressive.

But some things remain the same.

For example, hidden in the shadows, under the light of candles, a huge skull with a crown, Bordeaux with a huge body like a beast, and a dancer wearing a scarf at the end...

These behemoths are paired with background music with a strong religious meaning.

Full of mythological meaning and dark colors.

The dancer wearing a veil swung a magic sword that swallowed flames, spinning like a dance, and slashed at the knight opposite her with one sword after another.

The opponent has no power to fight back.

at last.

She grabbed the knight with one hand and threw it in the air. Then she raised the magic sword with the other hand and pierced the knight with one sword. The flame on the magic sword rose instantly, enveloping the knight in it.

It fully explained what oppression is!

Really... so handsome!

Although the enemy.

【"Dark Souls Ⅱ" (Dark Souls Ⅱ)】

At the end of the promo, the name of the game appears.

Followed by the release date, and tomorrow's meet and greet time.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

auditorium.

The background music full of strong religious meaning in the promotional video still has an aftertaste. Players who were just saying "get lost, don't pass it on" saw the scene of the execution of the boss dancer and saw the game name of "Dark Souls 2" appear.

Mouth and body upright cheered again.

It was louder than just shouting 'Get out, don't pass on'.

"..."

Kou Hong sat in his seat, looked up at the screen, and suddenly gave a wry smile.

Another game with a completely different style...

Realistic modern warfare, cartoon-style action-adventure, medieval action role-playing full of strong mythological meaning and dark colors...

It really doesn't go anywhere.

He realized that he... still underestimated Lin Yao.

At the beginning, he said that Lin Yao is suitable for film and television work...but now it seems that she is suitable for any job!

outrageous...

at the same time.

Backstage.

Standing in front of the screen, Lin Yao saw the announcement of the last game tonight, and received enthusiastic feedback.

Immediately relieved.

Let go of my heart.

"Very good."

Lin Yao turned around and sat back on the chair, then turned the chair to face the conference table, put the burden of warmth on the table, lay down all over, stretched out her hands, and stretched vigorously.

Happy face.

...

The opening ceremony of the e-sports festival came to a perfect conclusion.

This evening, in addition to the wonderful opening ceremony performances.

There are a total of four opening games, which are equally exciting.

And the three neutrals during the break.

All of them are Linmu Studio's own game advertisements.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Super Mario Odyssey, and Dark Souls 2!

And the competition and the new game advertisement are combined... unexpectedly well!

Players all night.

Except for the end of the last project, all other times are in a state of excitement.

Immerse yourself in the atmosphere created by Woods Studio.

Inextricable.

Really great! ! !

And obviously.

The opening ceremony that left a deep impression on the players tonight, related topics, cannot be lost because of the end.

that night.

Although the opening ceremony was over, it was already very late.

But there was still a large wave of viewers watching the live broadcast or at the scene, pouring into the forums and game groups.

【marvelous! Really great! ! I knew it after watching the opening ceremony! Linmu Studio will not disappoint you tonight! really! The short film is a surprise! Subsequent games are even more surprising! 】

[After watching the short film, I finally understand why Linmu Studio can rise...they are really great! To be honest, after watching the short film, I want to join Linmu Studio, I think it will be great to work in it! 】

[Ahhh... I thought I wouldn't see any new games from Linmu Studio this year! Unexpectedly! There were three styles immediately at the opening ceremony! Good guy! I call it a good guy! 】

【But it's not over yet! That short video, that box logo, definitely showed more than three games! Come on, big brother, analyze it, what else is in it! I want to know what other treasures are hidden in Linmu Studio! 】

[The players who didn't go to the scene really lost money! The atmosphere at the scene is really amazing. I just watched the live broadcast of the opening ceremony performance, and it is completely different from going to the scene. 】

[You think we don't want to go to the scene! Can't get a ticket! But there is one thing to say, even if it is a live broadcast, you can still feel that the music and performance are really good! It will be more exciting to go to the scene! 】

【Good guy, I read it all and found that the producer really never leaves Lin Yao! Everything has to do with her...]

【Lin Yao has committed a heinous crime! But please have more sinister Lin Yao in the game circle! 】

【…】

Some players are still expressing their excitement.

And some players have already begun to analyze.

When live and on stream, everyone is staring at the games and new games, and there is no time.

But now it's different.

In that short video, Lin Yao gave a lot of hints.

In the end, many staff members put things in the box, although there are all kinds of strange things.

But most are related.

So soon.

Many players have found models representing "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", "Super Mario: Odyssey" and "Dark Soul 2" through playback.

At the same time, other undisclosed items were analyzed.

But some models are okay, but for some new works, it is really hard to guess what it is, so I can only watch the short film over and over again, trying to find some clues.

At the same time, the box in the short film of Lin Mu Studio also has an official name - Lin Yao's Treasure Box!

Some players began to analyze what else was in the box through the clues of the short video, wanting to see what else was hidden in Lin Yao's treasure box.

While other players began to discuss the new game now disclosed.

Started talking about the gameplay of two sequels and a new game.

There are also some players who are discussing tonight's game.

Plus players who crazily vent their excitement.

It directly made the major player communities and the groups discussing the game extremely lively, and even seemed a little chaotic...

but.

Although there is no common topic.

But what they were discussing was the same thing - Forest E-sports Festival!

exploded.

The heat really exploded.

and.

With the opening ceremony over.

It wasn't just the player community that was involved.

on social media.

[Music for the opening ceremony of Linmu Studio]

This topic also quickly appeared on the hot list.

Although this opening, two of the songs have been featured before.

But after being unable to hold back the shape change, the effect of the live performance is really great.

The first song "We Will Rock You" by the Queen band, the contestants and the audience accompanied the song together, and the moment they sang together, everyone got goosebumps when they heard it.

As for the two songs "Legends Never Die", as long as they have the ability to empathize, audiences who have watched any competition will find it difficult to stand up to it.

As for the third song "Opening the Sky", although it is also an old song, this combination of classical instruments kicked off the whole short film, which is really exciting.

The performance effect and stage effect really kill a big movie in seconds.

The topic of "Music for the Opening Ceremony of Linmu Studio" has once again appeared in the eyes of many people who don't pay attention to e-sports events, or even games.

I saw at least 30% of the audience from overseas, and I saw the warm atmosphere at the scene.

Somewhat funny.

It also made some people crusade against the current singer...

No matter what game company is better than the new generation of singers...

This exposure and discussion.

The Forest E-sports Festival...became the hottest topic.

Then.

Probably because there are quite a lot of overseas audiences, and the audiences are too enthusiastic...satisfaction and excitement visible to the naked eye.

Therefore, many authoritative media have also reported this matter through the recently emerging social media news accounts.

【congratulate! Just now, the opening ceremony of the Linmu E-sports Festival held by Linmu Network Technology Co., Ltd. ended perfectly.

In addition to the wonderful opening ceremony and competitions, three game sequels that are very popular overseas were also announced.

It is reported that the opening ceremony attracted nearly 20,000 overseas spectators to watch the game, and the atmosphere was warm! [Picture][Picture][Picture]]

This short news published by the most authoritative media.

directly forwarded multiple times.

Even the overseas accounts of authoritative media posted similar messages.

The heat has increased further...

After all, the Forestry E-sports Festival does attract many overseas audiences every year. The Forestry Carnival in the first half of the year was also well received and attracted a lot of overseas audiences.

Plus their games are selling well overseas.

Emotionally and rationally.

It is appropriate to show your face to Linmu Studio.

Lin Yao herself doesn't feel much about this, she is indeed sensitive sometimes, but she is still young after all.

But a colleague like Tianhu Li Guangsheng, seeing such news, really envied his teeth to be gritted...

It's so obvious.

The development of Linmu Studio in the past few years, as well as their ability to attract money overseas, is obvious to all.

The timing is really right now.

Instead it was him.

He will also set up such a company as a benchmark for cultural products going overseas...

But envy is useless.

He can't change anything.

If he can hold such an event, and the game can go overseas to earn foreign exchange, then he can still compete with Linmu Studio, but the problem is that he can't.

Then there's really nothing to say.

tonight.

Linmu Studio and Linmu E-sports have stole the limelight.

And predictable.

There may be another chance to shine tomorrow.

on the forum.

The congratulations from the authoritative media have also become one of the topics of discussion among the players.

However, they just yelled a few words of "Linmu Studio" awesome.

After all, they are players, and this kind of melon is enough to say a few words.

Compared to these trivial matters.

They still pay more attention to events, games, and Lin Yao's treasure chest...

One o'clock.

Been raving for so long.

Some players went to rest.

After all, there is an event tomorrow! There is also a new game meet and greet early in the morning.

Maybe you can still see Lin Yao's treasure chest!

It's time to recharge your batteries!

but.

There are also players who didn't sleep.

And after they discussed the opening ceremony of this year's Forest E-sports Festival.

Finally talking about the Global Game Awards...

After all, the Global Game Awards will be held tomorrow morning.

[When the Global Game Awards were held, Linmu Studio's new game will start a meeting at the same time, hehehe... [funny]]

Such a post appeared on the front page.

Then the replies below the post quickly ushered in explosive growth.

"Hehehe... I thought Linmu Studio was acting in a fit of anger, but now it seems that they are already prepared."

"I don't know how the players will choose tomorrow... Hehehe."

"Is there any need to think about the live broadcast of this year's Forest E-sports Festival? [Funny]"

"I think the organizer of the Global Game Awards should be very regretful now... It would be nice to let Linmu Studio broadcast the film on the spot. Now that it's over, the other party has come to fight in the ring with the enthusiasm of the e-sports festival."

"Hey hey, tomorrow will be fun."

"..."

below the post.

It's all hehehe...
