There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

"Wait! Wait... Who is the buddy chasing after me! Give me face!!! Let me go! Please! Let me go!!!"

Forest Carnival.

third day.

Play area.

Li Yu was wearing earphones, listening to the crescendo of heartbeat coming from the earphones as the killer approached, his palms began to sweat crazily.

At the same time, he felt his heartbeat start to speed up, like a drum hammer.

There was a rattling sound.

At this moment, Li Yu even suspected that everyone next to him could hear his heartbeat...

In fact, he was too worried about this.

Others are not so sensitive, as long as it is not attached to his chest, it is impossible to hear his heartbeat.

And others are not so free, they will put their heads on his chest.

but.

The onlookers behind him, although they didn't hear his heartbeat...but they saw his stiff movements and his flushed side face from excitement.

The expression is really tense to the naked eye.

certainly.

What the onlookers paid more attention to was not Li Yu, the player, but the game displayed on the screen in front of Li Yu.

The game he was trying to play at this time was "Death by Daylight".

In a gloomy, dark map.

A large number of black and red brick walls are looming in the moonlight.

Under the pale moonlight, the survivors controlled by Li Yu were staggering and screaming forward.

And the dull footsteps behind him followed like a shadow.

The sharp and manic drumbeat sounded.

Directly pull up the oppressive force...

And that's why Li Yu yelled out just now.

because he was afraid...

but.

His yelling did not let the player playing the killer hear it, but it startled the onlookers behind him.

After all, everyone is watching him play intently.

He came out of nowhere...

But the onlookers can understand it.

After all, just looking at it, they felt that the atmosphere of the game was created really well, to put it simply - it was scary.

Let alone play.

Besides, watching other people play horror games is actually quite interesting...

The onlookers all looked at the screen intently.

After Li Yu yelled in front of the screen, he found that the killer behind him still didn't give up, and didn't continue to beg for mercy. Instead, he turned his head and ran into the room, trying to move away from the player playing the role of the killer.

However, the pressure from the killer behind him was too great.

Sound effects and pictures are all exerting pressure.

He couldn't fight against the opponent, which made Li Yu really feel like he was in a horror movie.

It made him more and more tense... more and more tense.

Then, the scream of the chainsaw before the chainsaw killer sprinted became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The killer sprinting behind him wielding a chainsaw, came behind the character played by Li Yu in an instant, and hit him with one blow.

The survivor screamed and fell to the ground in an instant.

Li Yu was shocked and threw the mouse out of his hand with a bang.

Behind him, there was also a low cry and laughter.

"Zi--"

After the killer knocked Li Yu down, he waved the chainsaw brazenly, then picked him up, brought him to the hook, and hung him up as a survivor.

so far.

The character played by Li Yu has temporarily left the stage, and he can only press the break button to gamble on the probability, or wait for his teammates to come to rescue him.

The killer didn't guard him, and after hanging him up, he turned his head and walked into the dense forest.

The hissing sound of the chainsaw starting gradually faded away.

And then, the screams of other escapees sounded...

finally.

The survivor camp played by Li Yu still lost.

Because everyone is new to the game, although the killer side is from the first perspective, strong power is a natural advantage.

"So cool! Hook me all up!"

Game over.

A player in front of a demo computer not far away immediately stood up and waved his fist excitedly.

Obviously playing the killer.

Li Yu glanced at the other party, then reluctantly moved the mouse, and finally glanced at the end page of the game, then got up and gave up his position to others.

Although very sad.

But we are all players, there is still some tacit understanding.

And behind.

The other people who had lined up earlier couldn't wait any longer, glanced at their number plates, and rushed forward.

soon.

The next batch of trial players sat in front of the computer and started the next game.

And Li Yu left the trial area and looked back.

I found that there was a long queue behind me.

But Li Yu didn't find it strange, on the contrary, he took it for granted.

"It's really interesting."

He recalled how he felt when he just played the game. He came to the "Hollow Knight" demo area where there was also a long queue, picked up his Future S1, and logged into the game circle.

Ready to share my experience of trying the game.

Just looking at the game and playing it are still different.

Every year at the Forest Carnival, in addition to the different atmosphere on the emotional level, the biggest practical benefit is being able to try new games that were released that year.

This is something that viewers in the live broadcast room cannot experience.

But they are curious.

So at this time, the players on the scene need to share their feelings.

As for sharing the trial experience, Li Yu has been doing it since the first session.

His ID is also considered a little famous in the forum.

but.

He is late this year.

Some players have already shared their experience of playing, and even took pictures of the real machine of the game.

This is not prohibited by Forest Studio.

Li Yu didn't mind seeing the post with introduction.

I just gave up my idea of ​​posting, and instead clicked on the top post yesterday - [The characters in "Death by Daylight" were also drawn by Lin Yao! 】

Li Yu skimmed the text directly, and then came to the comment area.

really.

The reply that Lin Yao looks like a sick girl is still the most liked...

Far ahead.

Just compared to yesterday.

After the demo of four new games opened today.

There are more replies in the building.

"I've already played it, and I testify that Lin Yao just wanted to scare us. The atmosphere of the game is really too interesting [crying]."

"Playing a survivor is so nervous [crying], the sound effect is absolutely amazing, but it's a pity that the man chasing after him is a big man. If only it was a beautiful girl, I'm willing to catch him without a fight."

"Return to the beautiful girl, no matter how scary the sound effect is when the beautiful girl is paired with it, you will also giggle, right? Don't go crazy here!"

"Why can you guys discuss Lin Yao in a serious analysis post from the landlord, and the number of likes is more than four times higher than the second reply..."

"Because I miss it, what could it be? I want to see Lin Yao, the Lin Yao who gave me my whole youth!"

"..."

Li Yu looked at the latest reply from Lou Zhonglou.

Smiled lightly.

Then I also opened the comment box and replied: "I also testify that the game is really great, it tastes like a horror movie! The atmosphere is amazing!"

After replying.

He liked the replies of the others one by one, and then put away his phone.

"Hey hey, it's so smooth..."

"It's so cute, damn it, I actually think bugs are cute!"

"Ah...how do I jump over here?"

"..."

ahead.

The player's conversation can be faintly heard.

Although "Death by Daylight" has attracted the most attention.

But the other three games are not uninterested.

For example, Li Yu's current trial team is not short... Players are also surprised by the game.

Li Yu followed the players in front again and came to the middle and front position of the team. Then he looked up at the demo area and smiled slightly.

Then.

He turned his head and glanced at the other play areas.

He didn't mention "Dead by Daylight" just after he came out of the demo area.

The other two demo areas, "Dead Cell" and "Overcooked Kitchen".

There are also a lot of people in line.

And the area for the official trial play.

"Dead Cells" and "Overcooked Kitchen", including "Hollow Knight" that Li Yu is currently queuing up, have thoughtfully prepared two operation schemes for keyboard, mouse and controller.

Players can freely choose the operation mode they are used to.

During the trial play, no one will teach the player how to play the game, everything depends on the player to explore freely.

The staff in the demo area only maintain order and solve hardware problems.

As for how players play, they won't say much.

But even so.

Every player who tried it was very happy...

"It's so cool! Can 2D games be so cool?"

"Shushuashuashua... This kind of meat pigeon game is too cool, every time the weapon is different, every time there is a different attack method."

"Brother, come and try, this is cool!"

"..."

Li Yu could still hear the yelling of several loud players in the "Dead Cell" division.

Many players don't even know each other.

But they were able to chat directly together, and even let the buddies next to them try...

As for the "Overcooked Kitchen" demo area farther away.

The sound is not heard.

But Li Yu could see the expressions of the players over there.

Most of them are good friends playing, and there are also a few couples playing.

But whether they are friends or couples, they all have smiles on their faces.

While playing, you have to turn your head and talk to your companions.

Even though they are far away, they can feel their happiness.

Happy from the bottom of my heart.

Li Yu looked around, seeing countless players who were happy, looking forward to, or excited, and felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

At the same time, I also really like this activity from the bottom of my heart.

Really awesome...

There is such an event every year...

Every year, Lin Yao's Linmu Studio will bring players a new and different game experience.

No matter what type of game you like.

No matter what kind of player.

Everyone can have fun here.

And no matter what kind of game, as long as it is produced by Linmu Studio, once you get started, you can find fun...

I don't know what surprises Linmu Studio will give you next?

I don't know what will be done at the Forest Carnival next year?

Two questions popped up suddenly.

Li Yu smiled slightly, feeling even more looking forward to it.

Looking forward to the next meeting.

Looking forward to the closing ceremony.

Looking forward to the new game release.

Looking forward to next year's carnival.

certainly.

I also look forward to Lin Yao's debut at the closing ceremony this year, as well as possible big events...

After all, she didn't show up at the opening ceremony.

After the announcement of the four new games, they were basically confirmed, and they were still inextricably linked to her.

It doesn't matter if you are greedy for her body, you can't do without her, or you just want to hear more news about Linmu Studio from her.

In short.

Everyone really wanted to see her.

Including Li Yu...

"This player, please come forward, it's your turn."

The reminder from the staff woke up Li Yu who was a little distracted.

Li Yu smiled apologetically, and immediately walked to the monitor, not thinking about anything else, but focusing on the game.

soon.

He grabbed the handle.

Started the trial of the second game.

"Jiang Zi makes a 2D game!?"

Then.

Li Yu's surprised voice sounded...

...

The third day of the carnival.

Basically, they are major version updates of existing games.

In fact, after the Forest Carnival came out, each project team of Forest Studio adjusted the update rules of the game.

Important updates in spring and summer will be placed in the carnival.

As for autumn and winter, most of them will be placed in the e-sports festival or the Spring Festival.

Players also know the rules.

At present, because there are too many games in Linmu Studio, some games may not be able to hold a separate meeting due to the lack of updated content.

but.

Forest Wood Studio will not forget the players of these games.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Forest Carnival held a planning meeting.

At the meeting, producers and planners of basically existing games will appear.

As for the main content of the meeting, it is very simple, just one word - talk.

Answer questions that players are interested in, write down problems that players have encountered in the game, and explain some game updates that don't require a special meeting.

This kind of event may not have the explosion point of the new game announcement.

But the number of viewers in the live broadcast room was no less than yesterday.

Because the existing games of Linmu Studio occupy a large share of the domestic game market...

So many players... can't be underestimated, and they actually care more about the dynamics of the game they are playing than the new game.

After all, the most important thing to operate a game is to update it.

If a game is not updated for a long time, or it is perfunctory, for example, it has not been updated for two years, and then a cold dish is brought out suddenly, saying that this is a new work... But in fact, there is not much content at all.

Players can be mad.

No matter how good a game is, it can't be so frustrating...

So although the new game is more topical.

But in the final analysis, the foundation of Carnival is still the existing old games.

Linmu Studio is also very important, and the time given is also the longest.

And this year's old game update.

Players are generally satisfied.

Even "Fantasy OL", the fortune-telling game of Linmu Studio, has released major updates such as new characters, new levels, and new weapons at the carnival.

What else can players be dissatisfied with...

That evening.

Forest studio.

As usual, Lin Yao began to check the feedback from today's carnival.

She is also very satisfied with the feedback from the players.

Except for that pinned post...

"Damn, why haven't you deleted it yet! Crazy! I'm so sick!?"

Lin Yao clicked on the post again, looked at it, and then complained.

The reply of "hehehe" is still there...

"..." Hearing the words, Mu Wanqing lowered her head and looked, unable to restrain her laughter.

"What are you laughing at? You think so too?" Lin Yao glanced at Mu Wanqing.

"Well, if only I could put on a lolita and little leather shoes, and put on a sick face and look down on..."

Mu Wanqing sized up Lin Yao, and then began to talk about the sickly girl in her imagination.

"Stop, stop."

Lin Yao interrupted her, and said angrily: "You still want to concretize the image of Hua Jiaojiao, don't you?"

Mu Wanqing smiled, then whispered: "...I want to see it."

"roll."

Lin Yao rolled her eyes and was about to continue talking when there was a knock on the door.

She could only swallow the words back, looked towards the door, and said please come in.

"Lin Yao, do you still need to reserve time for planning the meeting tomorrow?"

Zhong Xiu pushed the door open and came in, and then asked straight to the point.

Although I just shouted 'it's over' just like a defeated dog yesterday, but today I'm alive and well again.

have to say.

His professionalism is still top notch.

"Well, what's the matter? Compared with the first carnival, we have a lot more games, and it will definitely not be the same as in previous years."

Lin Yao heard Zhong Xiu's question and replied.

"It's nothing... It's just that the time for this meeting is too long, half a day longer than in previous years."

Zhong Xiu explained: "But all the game updates have been introduced."

"At the beginning, I reserved this time on purpose."

Lin Yao explained with a smile: "There are too many updates this year, and there is not much time left to answer questions, right?"

"That's true." Zhong Xiu nodded.

"So tomorrow is the time for you to check for omissions and make up for vacancies. You can listen carefully to what the players have to say. The trial game has just been opened, and the first batch of players should already be trialing it."

Lin Yao turned her head to look at the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows behind her, and continued: "After playing, players will be more impressed and have more questions."

"That's it..." Zhong Xiu nodded.

"..."

Lin Yao glanced at his expression, thought for a while, and explained: "Don't be annoyed, even if it's the old game before, the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest."

"I know better than you that games have a lifespan. Even if a game has no lifespan, the carrier of the game will die or evolve over time... It is difficult for a game to exist permanently."

"Games that players are excited about now, maybe after a few decades, few people will remember them."

"This is an objective fact. I can't change it, and I don't want to change it. I just hope that our games, no matter what the game is, can stand with the players no matter what the future holds."

"It can retain the original beauty in the hearts of players."

"Even if everything is coming to an end, it can be decent."

"Instead of saying - 'You were a legend, but look at you now'."

Speaking of which.

Lin Yao paused, and continued: "It's not easy to achieve this, and it might be a good solution to get close enough to the players."

Zhong Xiu heard the words, looked back, and then replied softly thoughtfully: "...I understand."

"This is too exaggerated."

Mu Wanqing smiled gently, and then said: "Even our first game "Fantasy OL" has never experienced a precipitous decline in revenue and online numbers. In fact, many colleagues are still envious of "Fantasy OL". Where is the running water in OL?"

"That's true."

Lin Yao didn't mind Mu Wan clearing the stage, but said with a bright smile, "But it's better to take precautions before it happens."

"...Prevent it before it happens."

Zhong Xiu glanced at Lin Yao, feeling more intense, and sighed lightly.

"Speaking of which, are you ready?" Lin Yao noticed Zhong Xiu's expression, but said nothing.

It's not like running away right away.

At least wait until her cheap dad comes out.

No hurries.

"What are you preparing for?" Zhong Xiu asked curiously, no longer thinking deeply.

"The last meeting tomorrow afternoon."

Lin Yao teased: "You wouldn't screw up the hair protection on purpose, would you?"

"You can insult me, but don't insult my hair."

Zhong Xiu's complexion changed, and he said decisively: "When I press my hair up, I and my hair are ready! This shows my faith! If I cheat on this kind of thing , that is equivalent to denying my belief!

Men's beliefs are not so cheap! asshole! "

"..."

Looking at the serious Zhong Xiu.

Both Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing had black lines on their faces.

...

soon.

The fourth day of the Forest Carnival is here.

And today's schedule is out.

The players were also surprised.

There is even a planning meeting...

After being surprised, most players still chose to participate.

As Lin Yao expected.

In fact, players still have a lot of questions, and they want to ask the planners.

so.

Even though the planning meeting had already been held yesterday, today's meeting was still full of seats.

Players who play different games one after another have raised completely different questions and suggestions.

one morning.

The planning on the stage has not been idle.

Zhong Xiu also participated in this meeting.

He witnessed this scene with his own eyes.

really admire...

Not only did Lin Yao not show up this time, even the scene was actually just in the preparatory stage.

Not only the players, but even inside Forest Workshop.

She has begun to deliberately downplay her influence and let the staff take the helm alone.

A lot of staff are uncomfortable with this.

The reason why Zhang Tian and Wang Mang came to Lin Yao in a hurry after the last meeting was over.

Precisely because she wasn't there.

but.

Even if Lin Yao didn't show up.

Even if she didn't even go to the scene.

She is still the one who understands players best... Compared to the production staff, she is really more like a player.

Really great.

It's really hard to imagine what it's like when she's not around...

Thinking of this, Zhong Xiu smiled lightly, then sighed lightly, and continued to answer the players' questions.

Meet and greet all morning.

In the high-intensity question and answer, it passed.

Players began to exit, went to eat in twos and threes, and discussed the game they played at the same time.

And the other side.

Zhong Xiu also returned to the lounge, having dinner and preparing for the last meeting in the afternoon.

time flies.

afternoon.

The main venue is open.

The last meet and greet has begun.

In the last meeting of this year's carnival, players seem to have a premonition that there may be a big event.

So be extra positive.

Twenty minutes before the time, everyone arrived.

The main stage was full of voices.

entry gate.

Even after going through so much.

Zhong Xiu was still a little nervous.

But fortunately, the adjustment time left for him is long enough...

Twenty minutes later.

Zhong Xiu took a deep breath, stopped thinking about his hair, and stopped thinking about Lin Yao, let go of his thoughts, and then... walked onto the stage.

Huge cheers.

Suddenly broke out.

This time it was Zhong Xiu, the person in charge of the PC department!

When the players saw him, they immediately knew that they had guessed correctly, it was a big job!

Immediately greeted him with the warmest cheers.

And Zhong Xiu stood in the middle of the stage, and for two full minutes, he couldn't find a chance to speak.

"Hi everyone, I'm Zhong Xiu."

"The game of the last meet and greet will be introduced by me."

finally.

During the interval between the second wave of cheers, Zhong Xiu found an opportunity to speak his opening words.

Then.

The cheers rang out again.

Zhong Xiu smiled, and let them cheer.

After they stopped naturally, they continued:

"This new game is very interesting."

"It's mainly this type of game, and our Linmu Studio has only done it once."

"Yes, the type of game that our forest studio has only done once... Can you think of anything?"

"No? Then I'll give you one more reminder, that game is exclusive to Switch."

"It's still an escort masterpiece..."

Zhong Xiu just spit out the words 'escort masterpiece'.

offstage.

The faces of the players who were closer changed instantly.

First, he was stupefied, then stunned, and then... ecstasy!

And then.

A loud noise that seemed to overturn the roof broke out.

That's cheers from the players!

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

The type of game that Linmu Studio has only made once!

Combined with the tips given by Zhong Xiu.

It's really easy to guess!

- Open world! ! !

Blizzard is pretty much dead...in fact, long dead, but lingering on the legacy of its glory days for a long time.

Think about the Blizzard games I have played, not to mention World of Warcraft.

Ever since Overwatch couldn't choose the same heroes, I found it less fun, and then I stopped playing when the horizon map came out.

Diablo III has always been played.

In the first two months, I also specially tried the gameplay of the new season Angel Crucible. It was quite interesting, but it was only fun for three days.

Hearthstone is the one I have been playing for the longest time, and I also pre-ordered the expansion pack of the Great Emperor.

But because I got more and more busy later, and I really didn't adapt to the wild mode environment after the launch of the Breaking Expansion Pack, I just got A.

Then other miscellaneous games, such as Warcraft and StarCraft.

When I was young, I basically opened Internet cafes.

But the reset version, let me just say it, no.

I used to be barely a bum.

However, they have definitely changed... just look at Nintendo.

They have also been criticized for a while and can only rely on old IP, but what have they done in recent years?

Just one thing, Nintendo's rare new IP "Splatoon" was released in 2015! It was a year earlier than Overwatch, and now that Splatoon 3 is out, Blizzard will bring one back.

It doesn't even give players a chance to complain about server problems.

...

I didn't ask for the electronic urn yesterday, so I just raised it.

Ashes to ashes to ashes.

The current Blizzard is just like that sentence said.

'You were a legend, but look at you now. '
