There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

After the first month.

The year is over.

Whether it is a player or not, whether it is a worker or a student, life is mostly back on track.

The same goes for Forest Studio.

In fact, counting the speed at which major manufacturers in the industry have returned to the 'on track', Linmu Studio is definitely the bottom one.

Because after the toss of "Day of Reincarnation" and WeChat red envelopes, the staff of these big factories have more or less worked overtime.

In this regard, they can be said to have come to the front of Linmu Studio...

but.

Although Linmu Studio has the earliest holiday and the slowest resumption of work, when it comes to the state of the staff, Linmu Studio is definitely the first.

The main thing is to rest long enough.

And when the core staff just came to Linmu Studio, Lin Yao threw out a very romantic plan in every way...

This directly made most of the staff forget about the holiday syndrome, and immediately threw themselves into work like a chicken blood.

After all, the staff of Linmu Studio are generally young and energetic. Apart from games, they have more or less other hobbies.

For example, "Dark Engraving", a Japanese head manga, has been serialized for seven years...it will be eight years soon.

When this manga started to be serialized, Lin Mu Studio didn't even have a picture...

Therefore, it is extremely normal for some staff members to read the comics, love the work and the characters in it.

And the plan and the list that Lin Yao threw out almost wiped out all the popular elements of more than half a century.

Every staff member can find their favorite works on it.

In this situation.

What could be more satisfying than turning your favorite work or IP into a work?

there is none left.

It's no wonder it's not the same as beating chicken blood!

Therefore, although Linmu Studio resumed work late, the staff entered the state on the second day of work...

Including Lin Yao.

And wait for the relevant copyright to be discussed.

The mobile game department represented by Kang Yi, and all the staff cheered even more.

...physical cheers.

The mobile game department is the youngest department of Linmu Studio.

Compared with the other two product departments, the staff of this department is also the youngest.

Many staff have even watched animation or manga for four or five years.

They want to make this joint activity even more than Lin Yao.

And when the copyright is discussed, it means that the linkage event is basically a certainty...

They can add their favorite characters into the games they make!

please.

This is really cool!

And after Lin Yao handed over the proposal written by herself, the original drafts of various art materials, and the original drafts of the characters she designed to Kang Yi, and distributed them.

In the mobile game department, huge cheers erupted again!

Because this is cooler than comics! ! !

And the other side.

Lin Yao left the mobile game department and just went out when she heard cheers from behind, which was a little funny.

She couldn't help but sigh.

It's nice to be young...

then.

Holding the last folder, she was not in a hurry to go back to the floor where her office was located, but went to the independent video department and found Qi Jianhua.

"What was the yelling upstairs just now? It has been thumping, and it feels like the ceiling is about to collapse."

Fourteenth floor.

When Qi Jianhua saw Lin Yao, he seemed to realize something, pointed directly to the upstairs where the sound was still making thumping noises, and asked with a smile.

"The copyright of several comics has been negotiated, and they are very happy." Lin Yao explained, "I guess it will stop after a while."

"really."

Qi Jianhua showed an expression of "as expected", and then said with emotion: "It's nice to be young..."

Lin Yao laughed and said: "Don't pretend to be deep, how old are you? 29, right? It's good to be young..."

"Fuck, what if I'm 29? At least I'm more qualified than you guys to say this!"

Qi Jianhua glared: "Look at my face, can you find the traces of the years? Is it full of vicissitudes? You look in the mirror and look at yourself, just like a seventeen-year-old high school student!

When you walk out of the high school gate, the security guard might think you skipped class! Why can't I say it's nice to be young? "

Lin Yao had a black line on her face: "I can see it indeed, then do you want me to let you retire early?"

Qi Jianhua changed his face instantly: "Just now, the kid was ignorant, and he was just joking..."

"Okay, stop playing tricks."

Lin Yao shook her head helplessly, and started to talk about the business: "This time, the "Day of Reincarnation" joint event requires your department to participate, and you need to make a promotional video for this event."

"Huh? Promotional video? You haven't done any Chinese New Year activities, have you?"

Qi Jianhua straightened his expression, and then asked in surprise: "We just made a promotional video during the Spring Festival. This time, we not only bought the copyright, but also made such a big fanfare?"

"It's just because I bought the copyright that I have to make a lot of fanfare... It's all money, and it can't be thunder and rain."

Lin Yao explained: "In addition, Xi Qianyu and the staff in the business department have worked so hard, and the product department will hand in a messy report card, which will dampen their enthusiasm.

Moreover, even if the above factors are put aside, there are many staff and players who like comics. For them, we must work hard for the first linkage plan of Linmu Studio. "

"I see."

Qi Jianhua thought for a moment when he heard the words, and then showed a serious look: "I will take it seriously, then this time the linked comic..."

"I have prepared the reference storyboard, the character design of each character, and the original painting."

Lin Yao interrupted him, and then handed him the folder in her hand.

Qi Jianhua came to his senses, scratched his head, smiled sheepishly, then took the folder that Lin Yao handed over, and opened it to read.

He doesn't look at the character design and original painting.

Because there is nothing to worry about.

He watched the storyboard carefully... Then, he watched it again.

After watching the storyboard three times.

He just raised his head, looked at Lin Yao, and asked, "Let the characters appear on the stage directly... Is this kind of development okay?"

"It's okay, because this kind of linkage really can't be logically self-consistent, you can't let the cartoonist change the plot?"

Lin Yao knew what he was asking, and explained: "So it's fine if you can justify yourself. The point is not the plot at all, but... let the players 'wow' come out!"

"'Wow' came out, it's really vivid..."

Qi Jianhua was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but nodded, "I understand."

"In addition, time is relatively tight, try not to delay until the carnival."

Lin Yao thought for a while, hesitated for a moment, and added: "The difference between traditional games and mobile games is still too great... The boundaries of player groups may be blurred, but most players' expectations for Carnival will definitely not be mobile games. Therefore, plans related to mobile games should be announced before then.”

"Do not worry."

Of course Qi Jianhua knew what Lin Yao was worried about. He raised the folder in his hand, shook it lightly, and said confidently, "At least the video department will be finished before the carnival."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Lin Yao nodded.

next.

She stayed on the 14th floor for a while, explaining some complicated sub-shots to Qi Jianhua.

After half an hour.

Lin Yao finally returned to her office.

close the door.

As soon as Lin Yao sat down, she glanced at the mirror beside her out of the corner of her eye.

look in the mirror.

She suddenly thought of Qi Jianhua's words, hesitated for a moment, picked up the mirror left by Mu Wanqing next to her, put it in front of her, then untied her ponytail, let her soft long hair drape over her shoulders, raised her snow-white chin, and looked at it carefully Fan himself.

But no matter how you look at it.

She couldn't find any evidence to convince herself...

Lin Yao gave up, she took the mirror away, crossed her slender and fair fingers, put them on the soft white chin, and rested her cheeks in thought.

After a while.

She suddenly came back to her senses, put down her hand, and broke her defense:

"Damn! After so many years, I haven't matured at all!?"

...

at the same time.

Just when Lin Yao broke the defense.

Tianhu's new mobile game project is also on the right track.

After Li Guangsheng was persuaded by Mou Feng, he tried his best to push through all the opinions, and finally succeeded in pushing forward Mou Feng's crazy proposal.

Tianhu will invest 500 million yuan to produce mobile games, and produce mobile games that are comparable to "Day of Reincarnation".

Hear the exaggerated numbers.

Everyone in Tianhu thought that Mou Feng was crazy.

But Mou Feng was not affected at all, and continued to advance the project on his own.

And maybe it was his influence.

After a period of adaptation.

Tianhu internally mobilized a project team composed of elites, and finally kept up with his rhythm.

Started on the right track.

Mou Feng has a clear idea of ​​the form of the game, coupled with sufficient budget, the progress of the whole project is extremely fast.

At the same time, Mou Feng is also very self-aware, he knows that he does not have Lin Yao's ability.

So his solution is simple.

Just spend money.

He couldn't draw a beautiful girl like "Day of Reincarnation", but after studying "Day of Reincarnation" for so long, and charged so much money, he knew exactly what kind of beautiful girl attracted players.

Lin Yao taught.

If he can't draw it, he will describe it in words.

Then contact the top painting studios in China and Japan, spend money for them to paint, and then choose the target that best meets your requirements among the works of many top painting studios.

Just like raising Gu.

certainly.

This also allows the project team to spend money like water.

Although Li Guangsheng had long been mentally prepared for this, he still felt terrified.

A few days.

He found Mou Feng.

"Are you really sure you won't increase the budget?" He confirmed with concern.

"Okay, don't worry."

While inspecting the original painting, Mou Feng replied, "I remember I made a guarantee with you at the beginning."

"But..." Li Guangsheng still hesitated, wanting to say something.

This tm mobile game project has just started...

Take it easy...

"and."

Have been together for so long.

Mou Feng was very aware of his small personality, and before Li Guangsheng could say anything later, he raised his head: "Don't think that I raise Gu just to choose a suitable partner, there is another reason, our game The announcement has already begun."

"Ah?" Li Guangsheng was taken aback.

"In marketing, the positioning model of the second child, do you know what it is?"

Mou Feng asked back.

Then, without waiting for Li Guangsheng to answer, he said to himself: "That is—as long as there is one place that can compete with the boss who is ranked first, then it can create a feeling for everyone to stand on the same position as the boss. illusion!

This applies to all fields, such as daily consumer goods, such as technology products, such as celebrities, and of course...including games. "

"As for card-drawing games, which strength do you think is the easiest to compete with "Day of Reincarnation"?"

Li Guangsheng: "..."

"Yes, it's a beautiful girl! It's the original painting! Other things like the gameplay, as long as the game is not released, it will be a castle in the air, and players will never compare it with "Day of Reincarnation."

Mou Feng asked himself and answered: "I found so many studios, not because I thought there was too much money, I did it on purpose! The popularity of WeChat red envelopes and "Day of Reincarnation" taught me one thing, that is, not Wait until everything is ready before announcing it.”

"The cost of publicity and distribution in this way is too high, and the effect is not necessarily good. I want to figure out how to announce the game when I am making the game! This way, in the final stage, I can get twice the result with half the effort."

"Yes, what I'm doing now is also for publicity! After a while, I will ask the marketing department to release news, leak some information, and even original paintings, so that all players can see the price we spent, Prepare original paintings and characters, and then surprise them severely.

I want the players to sigh, "Tianhu's new mobile game is comparable to "Day of Reincarnation""! As long as we can achieve this effect, then we will be successful, and our game will become a product that can compete with the industry leader before it is released! We will be a well-deserved second!

No matter how many colleagues want to imitate "Samsara Day", we will be the second! Because players feel that our mobile game can compete with the existence of "Day of Reincarnation". "

"This will also bring us a huge amount of attention, and when the game is about to be launched, if we make a big announcement, it will directly get twice the result with half the effort!"

"In addition, as I said, what I want to do is to completely match the mobile game of "Day of Reincarnation". Players will definitely get the same expectations and pleasure as playing "Day of Reincarnation" when they play the game."

"I'm 100% sure of that."

"As long as our mobile game can meet the expectations of "Day of Reincarnation"."

When Mou Feng said this, he paused, and then said: "Then our mobile game is not the second child, but...'Double Pride'."

"..."

Li Guangsheng opened his mouth, feeling suddenly enlightened, but also a little shocked.

He suddenly felt that the hair in front of him was a little strange.

Fuck! ?

"It's all taught by Lin Yao."

Mou Feng noticed Li Guangsheng's expression and immediately guessed his thoughts. He showed a bitter expression and said, "Yes, this is the marketing strategy of Linmu Studio, but they don't need to be the second child."

Li Guangsheng: "..."

"Don't look like you've eaten poop."

Mou Feng shook his head and said helplessly: "Facing such a hexagonal opponent with no shortcomings, the only way is to join, and I was also forced...

So Guangsheng, trust me, the project budget will not be exceeded, I will find out about them, and then make a mobile game that is completely in line with "Day of Reincarnation"! Wait! "

"……good."

Li Guangsheng breathed a sigh of relief and didn't say anything more.

He was persuaded again.

Facing the pressing Linmu Studio, Mou Feng has grown again.

Leaving Lin Yao aside.

him at the moment.

To some extent, it can even be said to be the most advanced and best game producer in China.

Because next.

The development of things was basically exactly the same as he thought...

...

Time came to March.

The new year event of "Day of Reincarnation" is offline.

Although the WeChat red envelope has become a permanent game, the trend has gradually dissipated.

After all, after the Spring Festival, users have to run around for their lives, and it is really difficult to have the same mood as the Spring Festival.

And this time.

Forest Studio has not announced any games or new products.

On the contrary, large and small third-party payment institutions, after working overtime during the Spring Festival, all said that they would launch the red envelope game to follow suit.

But this thing, the first person to eat crabs, has the right time, place and people, and the WeChat red envelope game is permanent again.

It is really difficult for users who have sent a red envelope for the Spring Festival to be interested in the red envelope gameplay of other third-party payment institutions.

Therefore, other third-party payment institutions launched the red envelope game, which did not cause much splash.

As for the players.

It's even less likely to be interested.

In the "Game Circle" of Linmu Studio, players from all divisions are discussing the games they play. During this period, the posts on how to play red envelopes have basically disappeared.

As for what the players are discussing... because the 'Game Circle' is a product of Linmu Studio.

So 95% of the posts posted by the players are related to the games of Linmu Studio.

As for why not 100%.

mainly.

Sometimes accidents happen...

For example today.

In the "Day of Reincarnation" subsection, such a post that basically has nothing to do with Linmu Studio quietly appeared——

[Proud! Tianhu will spend 500 million to develop a card game! And cooperate with several top painting studios in the industry! Completely benchmark "Day of Reincarnation"! 】

at first.

Such a post with a title that revealed a sense of 'shock' did not attract much attention.

There is a reply.

But the tone of most players is not very good. After all, this is the game circle of "Samsara Day", so you are making such a fuss.

Disgusting person?

"Although this post is related to "Day of Reincarnation", isn't your title too outrageous? Are you a sailor?"

"I'm going to die laughing at this title, it's so arrogant... What is Linmu Studio doing that Tianhu doesn't follow suit? Is this worth posting?"

"Completely match the "Day of Reincarnation", how dare you say it!"

"500 million, but also against the "Day of Reincarnation"... Is Tianhu lost his mind? You want to lose all your underwear, don't you?"

"The circle master! Delete the post quickly, what are you doing?"

"..."

below the post.

Most of the players who responded were very upset.

And probably seeing the dissatisfaction of the players, this post was quickly deleted.

When the player saw the disappearance of the post, he forgot about it, so what should he do.

but.

It's not over yet...

Soon some players discovered that the post in the "Day of Reincarnation" circle was not original by the person who posted it.

In the beginning, this was revealed by a game media.

Most of the players saw this news, just like the players of "Day of Reincarnation", they didn't really believe it.

But the game-related media people seem to trust the source of this information very much.

next few days.

Several game media reported the news.

And the disclosed information is becoming more and more detailed day by day.

In the beginning, it was just, "Heavy, throw 500 million!" ’ There is nothing dry in such a shocking body.

But as time went by, the media revealed which outsourcing studios and top painters Tianhu had contacted...

Not only that, in the article, the author also introduces the past works of these outsourcing parties in detail.

And also guessed which outsourcing studio Tianhu is currently cooperating with...

Players see the exaggerated price of manuscripts and see those exquisite past works.

have to admit.

There may be such a thing...

But from the beginning to the end, Tianhu didn't show up.

Neither admitted nor denied.

The sense of vision is very strong...

And in the'game circle', the exclusive circle of "Day of Reincarnation", related posts about Tianhu appeared again.

This time it was not deleted.

Instead, the players had a serious discussion.

However, the final conclusion is still doubtful.

But things turned around in late March.

After nearly half a month of bedding.

finally.

Conclusive evidence was thrown out.

[Tianhu's new mobile game manuscript leaked! Not at all inferior to the young lady in "Day of Reincarnation"! There are also tons of drafts and map settings! 】

Such a sentence appeared on the official social account of the largest game self-media in China.

But this time, it was not as simple as being shocked.

It is really expected!

Below this sentence, the nine squares of the picture are all filled.

It's full of 'leaked' manuscripts.

Half finished product, half draft.

Five character pictures and four landscape pictures.

The four landscape pictures are all conceptual pictures, which seem to be the main stage where the game story takes place.

Like "Day of Reincarnation", Tianhu mobile game also set the stage as a modern city, but compared to "Day of Reincarnation", their game style is a bit darker.

If we say that the stage of "The Day of Reincarnation" is a sunny city that looks normal, but in fact everything is wrong, and the residents are all madly criticizing beautiful girls.

Tianhu's mobile game is the style that feels abnormal at first glance.

The style is grim.

With chilling.

Although this style is not everyone's favorite, everyone's appreciation ability is also different.

But as long as you are a person with common sense, you will not think that such a complicated concept map is easy to draw.

As for the five character drafts, four are line drafts and haven't been colored yet.

But it is equally exquisite, and even if you look at the line draft, you can see that these characters have different shapes.

There are Lolita and Yujie.

There are killers in formal attire who seem to be attending a banquet. There are also short-haired girls who are full of wildness in navel dresses.

And the only one that has been fully colored and painted with a background, the main body is a JK wearing a sailor suit with a backpack on his back.

She has limp black hair and is standing in the middle of the hallway of a run-down apartment building.

The golden sun shines on her side face.

If you only look at the upper body, you are completely an ordinary young girl.

But if you look at it as a whole, you don't think so.

Because she was holding a sword in her right hand, the tip of the blade was a shocking red.

And her fair thighs were also stained with blood, and there were traces of a knife cutting the edge of the skirt.

The degree of completion of this manuscript is really high, and the style is also extremely distinctive.

Very eye-catching.

don't say it.

Such an exquisite vertical painting is really no worse than the character vertical painting of "The Day of Reincarnation".

So these few pictures were transferred to the "Day of Reincarnation" section in less than half an hour...

[Fuck! Tianhu's mobile game map leaked, it's pretty good! 】

As soon as such a post is issued.

Replies surged immediately!

Because most players who can play "Day of Reincarnation" will not resist this kind of painting.

"Fuck!? Is it true?"

"Is this Tianhu's game? It's really good-looking! The line draft feels pretty good-looking, let alone the first finished product."

"When did Tianhu understand so well? JK girl and Taidao, the eyes are in love, and they look like they are going to kill me [excited]."

"What's the name of this game? What's it coming out? I'm a little interested."

"If you are willing to spend money, you can really do whatever you want. I kind of believe that Tianhu has invested 500 million in mobile games."

"It's beautiful! It really feels like "Day of Reincarnation"."

"..."

Before the Tianhu mobile game was released, players had already subconsciously compared it with "Day of Reincarnation".

Reviews are generally very good.

Tianhu spent half a month laying the groundwork.

now.

It's finally bearing fruit...

And the next day.

The few game media that originally posted "Arrogance, Tianhu throws 500 million" have issued a new report——

[Players are you ready! ? Tianhu spends 500 million to make a new mobile game! A 3A-level mobile game against "Day of Reincarnation"! "Day of Reincarnation" under Linmu Studio will usher in the strongest challenger! 】
