There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

The eleventh day of the first lunar month.

Linmu Studio started work much later than other peers.

It wasn't until this day that I officially went to work.

Most of the staff of Linmu Studio returned to Linmu Studio on this day after half a month of rest.

Although after the seventh day of the lunar new year, the flavor of the new year is almost gone.

But the attitude should be there.

According to Lin Yao's request, Mu Wanqing gave out red envelopes to all the staff, and then went about her own business.

And the staff, after wishing each other a happy new year, immediately threw themselves into the slightly heavy work.

no way.

A long vacation time means a lot of work piled up.

This is to be paid back.

Lin Yao is not immune either.

When she came to the studio, she didn't exchange greetings with Ms. Mu for a long time before she immediately devoted herself to her work.

The beginning of the new year.

There are three main tasks of Linmu Studio.

The first thing is the third-party game audit of the Vaporwave game platform.

The second thing is the launch of MOBA games.

The third thing is the preliminary preparation for the work "The Witch".

Except for the first matter, Lin Yao needs to intervene in the other two matters.

And besides these things.

Lin Yao has to give a formal reply to Reflecta, worrying about the game console of Linmu Studio...

She is really busy.

The most important thing is that other people get a red envelope when they start work... Lin Yao hasn't started a red envelope yet!

afternoon.

The pile of work is finally almost done.

Mu Wanqing finally had some time, so she ran to look for Lin Yao.

The two haven't seen each other for more than half a month.

"Miss Mu, you really don't give me a red envelope for starting work, no matter how you say it, I'm still an employee."

Lin Yao made complaints about Mu Wanqing while helping "The Witch" to draw related setting pictures.

"Where are you an employee?"

Mu Wanqing held a stack of documents in her arms, a little bit dumbfounded.

"That's a good idea." Lin Yao joked.

In fact, she didn't value the red envelope for starting work, it was just the first day of work, and her holiday syndrome was really serious.

She stayed at home for so long.

Now I suddenly want to return to the steel jungle, and I have to change from a salty fish state to a struggling force.

It's a bit of a pain.

But this kind of situation can only be adapted, and there is no way to let go of work...

So Mu Wanqing sent it to her door.

She is not polite.

Chatted with her one after another, in order to get through the painful holiday syndrome at the beginning of the new year.

"Okay, then I'll give you a red envelope."

Mu Wanqing was helpless, thought for a while, and smiled gently: "How about ten yuan?"

Lin Yao curled her lips: "Stingy."

"..."

Mu Wanqing was helpless: "Then how much do you say? You can decide the number. I will report it directly to the finance department. The reason is to give the boss a red envelope..."

"one million!"

Lin Yao turned her head and reported a considerable number.

"Ah? I really have to report it." Mu Wanqing was a little surprised, "It's all your money..."

Lin Yao smiled brightly at her, and half-jokingly said: "How about this for you? You don't seem to give yourself a New Year's red envelope, do you?"

"..."

Mu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then shook her head lightly: "I won so many year-end awards last year, and I don't care about them, don't."

"Then what do you want, wrap a red envelope for yourself, as a symbol of a good start."

Lin Yao's feeling of going to the grave at the beginning of work has eased. After all, from the very beginning, there is a woman with black silk glasses who has been talking with her all the time.

"A word...Happy New Year?"

Mu Wanqing hesitated for a moment, didn't say anything about the red envelope, but rather embarrassed.

Come to Forest Studio.

The two have yet to wish each other Happy New Year.

"So foolish?"

Lin Yao was stunned, then laughed, jokingly said: "Happy New Year...is that okay? Miss Mu? But your request is too simple, why don't I give you another kiss, or I'll be sorry."

"..."

Mu Wanqing blinked, looking at Lin Yao's delicate and round oval face.

"...Why? Why are you staring at me? Where are you looking? You don't really want to kiss, do you?"

Lin Yao felt a little guilty for no reason.

...

After talking with Mu Wanqing.

Most of Lin Yao's vacation syndrome was cured.

But on the first day of the new year, she certainly couldn't just focus on chatting.

soon.

Lin Yao led Mu Wanqing into the conference room, and discussed with the core staff of the studio the first major event after the new year.

The launch of MOBA games.

"Does "Warcraft" need to be included in the game announcement of MOBA games? Although the hero concept of MOBA games is in the same line as the heroes of "Warcraft", the gameplay is indeed very different."

Guangzheng, the person in charge of the MOBA game project, asked the first question.

Lin Yao pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "No need, although this will bring good traffic to the game, but it is also easy to be preconceived, making many players who are not interested in RTS feel that this is a game similar to Warcraft... Just follow the normal new game promotion, highlighting the new type. As for what players think, whether they think this game is born out of "Warcraft" or not, it's their own game anyway. You don’t have to worry so much.”

"Yes, we now have the Vaporwave game platform, and the enthusiasm for launching games is not low. There is no need to follow the already successful games like "Warcraft"."

Zhong Xiu also responded, agreeing with Lin Yao's words.

Guangzheng nodded slowly.

"Are you ready for the internal test?"

Seeing that other people had no opinion on this matter, Lin Yao asked about the game test instead.

Guangzheng immediately replied: "The preparations are almost done. In fact, they were ready last year. Otherwise, the test of the ten contestants would not have been so smooth."

"Then how do you plan to determine the number of places for the internal test? If you let players sign up directly, the number of people will be too many. If you limit a certain game, it may cause some problems..."

Man Wanqing spoke up and asked about the details of the test.

She still remembers the situation of the last "Battle Royale" test.

Many players signed up.

In the end, because all the players of "Breakout" resisted the same type of games, the game couldn't be sold for a while.

"Forehead……"

this problem.

Ask Guangzheng and Zhongxiu.

For testing, they really don't have a good idea.

Because testing games in the industry is the same old style.

Sitting at the side, Lin Yao suddenly had a flash of inspiration when she heard what Mu Wanqing said, and she thought of an idea.

But that idea she had in mind.

It was really good at first.

But the danger is not small...

Hmm...let's ask other people's opinion first.

"How about this? Didn't the platform department give feedback before? Some producers who were not selected to participate in Greenlight, because of limited funds, could not complete the game. We only have a semi-finished product and want to put it on the shelves. We are facing this situation. It's also difficult to do..."

Lin Yao raised her head and opened her mouth to attract the attention of everyone in the meeting room: "Then can we launch a new function? Solve this problem, and use this function to test MOBA games by the way?"

"..."

The others looked at each other in blank dismay.

To understand is to understand.

But I don't know what new function Lin Yao is talking about.

Seeing their faces, Lin Yao understood, stood up, picked up the marker pen, hesitated for a moment, and wrote two letters on the whiteboard——EA.

"This function, let's call it EA, Early access, that is... Early access."
