There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

"What's the sign?"

Mu Wanqing was a little puzzled when she heard Lin Yao's words.

"Suddenly I became worried about the future." Lin Yao replied with a strange expression.

"..."

Mu Wanqing tilted her head in bewilderment, a rare cuteness.

"……never mind."

Lin Yao put down the publicity plan book on her lap, and shook her head lightly.

Although, I heard this news just after I decided to do MMORPG. It felt unlucky, but in fact it didn't have a big impact.

Lin Yao didn't know if Tianhu really believed that the decrease in MMORPG income was a problem of point cards, as they said, or whether they really felt that MMORPG had not kept up with the times.

But in Lin Yao's view, these two arguments actually have problems.

In Lin Yao's opinion, the sociability of the MMORPG game type is more powerful than the turn-based system!

In addition, as long as it is an MMORPG with a good plot, the sense of substitution is extremely strong.

This also leads to extremely loyal players. It is common for players to play an MMORPG for four or five years.

In Lin Yao's previous life, turn-based games could find their place in 2022, so they were called MMORPGs.

Even in 2020, "World of Warcraft" can surpass League of Legends in monthly revenue, which is proof!

There are feelings in it, and there are reasons for long-term operation.

But to be honest, in this world, at this time point... MMORPG really cannot be said to be behind the times.

MMORPGs are truly behind the times.

In other words, the time when the entire end game market will suffer a catastrophe has not yet arrived.

Wait until the mobile Internet era comes and mobile games become popular.

This is the worst time for the end game.

What's worse is that no one can stop this, Lin Yao can't do it, and Linmu Studio can't do it either. This is not a situation that can be changed by releasing a few games. This is the general trend to some extent.

If in the era of mobile Internet, mobile games are coming to maturity and choose to do MMORPG, then Lin Yao will be pessimistic.

But now, not yet.

Also, then again...

Although, in the era of mobile Internet, after mobile games mature, the situation of end games is a bit bad...

But this doesn't mean that PC games are really going to die, it's just not as brilliant as before.

The game experience brought by the end game is often irreplaceable.

It's too early to say anything about elimination.

The decrease in Tianhu's MMORPG income is most likely, Lin Yao thinks, due to the impact of Linmu Studio...

After all, there are only a few popular online games. Online games are not only easy to lock the staff, but also easy to lock the players.

This is the best time to enter the MMORPG.

No matter how late, it is estimated that the era of mobile Internet is coming.

and……

"If you consider the derivative gameplay of "World of Warcraft", such as "Hearthstone" that can also run on mobile phones, the most successful CCG card game, it will never fail..."

Lin Yao lowered her head slightly, and suddenly said something to herself.

""World of Warcraft"?"

Man Wanqing vaguely heard such a word.

"Well... our MMORPG."

Lin Yao raised her head, handed the publicity plan on her lap to Mu Wanqing, and then said with a smile: "We are about to enter the arena, making this type of game that cannot keep up with the times."

"ah!?"

When Mu Wanqing heard the words, she immediately let out a voice of surprise.

"Don't worry, it will succeed, MMORPG is not so unbearable."

Lin Yao sat on the chair, patted Mu Wanqing's belly lightly, comforted her, then turned around again, ready to continue coding the story of "World of Warcraft".

Although the matter of Tianhu's financial report, after thinking about it, Lin Yao finally felt that it was not a big problem.

However, there is indeed a sense of urgency rising...

It cannot be delayed for too long.

At the latest, "World of Warcraft" will be launched next year.

After all, there is not much time left before the commercialization of new mobile communication technology...

...

The time will soon come to mid-January.

The popularity and online numbers of "Call of Duty" finally stopped growing.

remained in a relatively stable range.

But after the heat stabilized, it was still terrifying.

Because of "Call of Duty", most FPS, that is, games of the same type, choose to avoid it and change the release time one after another.

Even other different types of games have been affected.

But after all, the types are different, and the impact is not too big.

So after the popularity of "Call of Duty" stabilized.

The new masterpiece has also begun to be announced.

The fights between Linmu Studio, Gilber Company, and the gods of Dreamland are over.

Even Linmu Studio itself has started the announcement of the next game.

On this day, they finally confirmed the last game to be released before the new year.

"Di Renjie"!

February 6th! Official sale!

New Year's Eve Sale!

This day, for most domestic players, is really too friendly. Whether it is social animals or students, it is a holiday at this time, and the Spring Festival has not yet arrived, so there is plenty of time to play games.

This is really... the release time of a new game that many players dream of.

"Sure enough, Linmu Studio understands me! New Year's Eve!!"

"Come on, come on, a 3A masterpiece with domestic themes will be released during the Spring Festival, and it is still the work of Linmu Studio!"

"I'm really looking forward to it! The final promotional video will be released soon, right?"

"What kind of story will it be? Come on February."

"I'm not very interested in FPS. What I'm looking forward to most are the other two games from Linmu Studio! And the one I'm most interested in is the domestic theme "Di Renjie"!"

"This January, I can't stay any longer!"

"..."

As the marketing department of Linmu Studio keeps blowing.

The player's expectations have been raised.

At least the expectations of domestic players have been raised very high.

And overseas.

Because of the excellent performance of "Call of Duty", many players who have remembered the name of Linmu Studio for a long time are also very concerned about the new work released by Linmu Studio after "Call of Duty".

This is the chain reaction.

Linmu Studio used excellent games to create a signature, and finally broke out after the release of "Call of Duty".

Word of mouth has been completely solid, and it has directly become another oriental game manufacturer and publisher remembered by European and American players in addition to those old Japanese manufacturers.

The impression is still deep!

So Lin Yao's original worry seemed unnecessary.

"Di Renjie" was not swallowed up by the popularity of "Call of Duty", but took advantage of the Dongfeng, once again at home and abroad, received far more attention than other games.

Those games that escaped Call of Duty and are only now on sale, just breathed a sigh of relief.

Then announce the game.

I found that the most discussed by players was still Linmu Studio... I was about to vomit blood.

Why is it Linmu Studio again! Lingering, right? ?

And under the full attention.

Linmu Studio has confirmed the release time of the final promotional video of "Di Renjie" and started a large-scale publicity...

...

"I'm coming."

The capital, a certain district.

A young man who looked very young was gearing up for the release of the final promotional video of "Di Renjie" with anticipation.

His name is Yi Wenwen, and he was born in a scholarly family. The three generations of his family are all teaching staff.

Moreover, half of them teach history... His father is a famous history professor, and even personally participated in the compilation of the latest high school history textbooks.

In such an environment, under the influence of whispers and eyes, Yi Wenwen has been particularly interested in history since he was a child, and he has also striven for it. He has been a child of someone else's family from the neighbors since he was a child... With excellent grades, he is well-behaved and obedient. The Chinese Department of the University.

It can be said to be perfect.

In the eyes of the neighbors, this child is the best material for them to beat their own children.

Universal comparison object.

The only thing the neighbors might mind is that such a person also likes games very much...

Yes.

Yi Wenwen likes games very much.

It's not a whim, but I have liked it since I was a child.

And his hobby has continued to this day.

However, probably because of the influence of his family, the type of games he likes, from the pursuit of simple excitement at the beginning, gradually changed to games with historical elements.

As for this type of game, apart from the online games that he can't spend too much time on, there is only one option left, overseas stand-alone games.

But Western food is fine for one or two meals, and he really can't stand it...

So he has always hoped to have a domestic game company that can make games with historical themes.

But what a pity.

Not all the time.

until.

Linmu Studio was born out of nowhere.

Only then did he rekindle hope.

And the "Civilization" of Linmu Studio has become his favorite game. Although in his opinion, there are a lot of bugs in it, and he even publicly complained about the cultural attainments of Linmu Studio, but the game deconstructs civilization. The method is really interesting.

Back then, Lin Yao made an appearance at the Global Game Awards, revealing a new game.

When he saw "Call of Duty", his heart was not disturbed.

But when he saw the broadcast of "Di Renjie", he immediately jumped up.

Di Renjie? Is that Di Renjie?

That was his first thought, and after seeing the characters' costumes in the video, he jumped up again.

Looking at the clothes, it is indeed Wu Zhou!

Then.

This game directly became his most anticipated game.

Although, I feel that from a historical perspective, this game will definitely have many slots.

But for this, Yi Wenwen can still be considerate, and it does not prevent him from looking forward to it.

After all... Linmu Studio at least has the ability and energy to do it, while other domestic manufacturers don't even have the ability and energy to do it.

at noon.

Vaporwave game platform home page.

The "Di Renjie" promotional video was released on time.

Yi Wenwen was shocked immediately, and was just about to click on...

Suddenly a voice came from behind.

"Have you found a girlfriend? Sitting in front of the computer every day."

"..."

The corner of Yi Wenwen's mouth twitched, and he turned around.

Behind him stood a middle-aged man who looked very much like him.

He looks like he's in his fifties, and he's not angry.

"You, you..." The middle-aged man walked towards Yi Wenwen and began to move his skills forward.

"Stop, I'll talk about it later, after I finish watching the promotional video."

Yi Wenwen quickly interrupted his father, and said, "Otherwise, it would be hard for me to pretend not to see the pack of cigarettes you hid on the bookshelf, and I might slip the tongue in front of your wife..."

"... brat."

The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback, then came behind Yi Wenwen, smiled and slapped him on the back of the head.

Yi Wenwen saw that he didn't seem to be using his marriage urging skills anymore, so he smiled and clicked on the video directly.

While the video is loading.

Yi Wenwen's father also pulled the chair, sat down, and asked, "Game?"

"Um."

Yi Wenwen nodded.

A large part of the reason why he likes games has to do with his father. His father is quite open-minded, and he is one of the first people in China to have access to the Internet, so he is not against games.

After all, he comes from a wealthy family, and he himself grew up playing games all the way.

Therefore, apart from strictly guarding against addiction, he doesn't really mind his son playing games.

And sowing melons reaps melons, because of enlightenment, the relationship between father and son is quite good.

Even... even played games together.

"The Linmu studio that made "Civilization"?"

Yi Wenwen's father glanced at his son's expression, guessed something, and said amusedly: "Even Wu Zetian's name is Wu Zhao's Linmu Studio?"

"Actually, we can't blame them. It's not that they don't know."

Yi Wenwen smiled and defended Linmu Studio: "I complained about this when I posted a post, and Linmu Studio replied to me. Although I don't know who replied, they at least gave the answer, saying yes Wu Zhao's name is too well-known. It is not well-known to overseas players, even to domestic players.

On the contrary, the title of Wu Zetian is easier to accept, and they also revised the introduction later and added relevant notes.

Also... don't you have fun playing Civilization too? "

"Mistakes are mistakes, their game is really interesting."

Yi Wenwen's father shook his head slightly, then looked at the screen: "What is it this time?"

"Wu Zhou, Di Renjie." Yi Wenwen replied.

"oh?"

Yi Wenwen's father immediately showed an expression of interest.

And on the screen.

The promotional video has already started playing.

The logos of Linmu Studio and Bluestar Engine flashed away.

Only this time, there are more logos than before.

Logo from Dragon Studios.

Then.

The screen appears slowly.

On the long porch.

A woman dressed in men's clothing with a strong aura stopped in her tracks, then turned her back to the man who bowed her head, and said indifferently: "A minister who founded a country can use any skill, regardless of his character, while a minister who governs the world must Both talent and quality are good.

Di Renjie's talent and character are praised by the world. "

Because the investment is not small, the modeling and dubbing of the game are top-notch!

This moment caught Yi Wenwen's attention.

And Yi Wenwen's father smiled slightly when he saw this scene.

And accompanied by these endless words.

The promotional video has also officially kicked off...

The camera turned directly.

Arriving at the edge of the desert, a man with the appearance of a Turkic aristocrat seemed to have been seriously injured. He climbed up the hill and looked at the not-too-distant city skyline, showing a relieved expression.

Then the screen changed again.

At a certain post station, the postman abandoned the foaming horse, then ran staggeringly into the lighted house, pushed open the door, fell to the ground, and yelled at the surprised colleagues who came to help him. problem occurs!

Then the next scene.

A new postman mounted a new horse and continued to Chang'an.

Then the picture changed again, the grand Tai Chi Hall, the Emperor Wu and his courtiers were waiting for the arrival of the Turkic mission.

The pictures of the three lines almost all disappeared in a flash.

Standard game trailer routine.

then.

The protagonist of the game officially appeared.

A man in tattered soapy clothes staggers forward, the camera zooms in, bloodstains on his clothes can be seen faintly.

Sudden.

A black shadow strikes.

Then there is the official game screen... It is still a hard-core sword fight, exactly the same as the screen released at the Global Game Awards.

Hard-core, chilling, and with a unique aesthetic feeling of cold weapons.

Really handsome.

At this time, the promotional film officially entered the action scene.

This period lasts for a long time, and it is almost a battle scene where the player plays the role and deals with various enemies.

Although the name of the game is Di Renjie, the protagonist does not seem to be Di Renjie.

In the second half of the promotional film, the painting style changed again.

The character played by the player is injured again, and then spends the night in a certain inn.

In the middle of the night, a black shadow appeared at the window, saying that if he wanted to survive, he had to go to Jiangzhang County to find Di Renjie...

The promotional film also began to throw out more images and elements...for example, detectives.

soon.

The promo is over.

"... Detective?"

Yi Wenwen was dumbfounded after watching the promotional video.

In fact, after seeing the broadcast of the Global Game Awards, he was mentally prepared.

After all, all the hard-core fights have come out, and it is certainly impossible to have many ancient political plots.

But the detective... was beyond his expectation.

After all, Di Renjie is the prime minister.

"Before Di Renjie became prime minister, he used to be in charge of judging criminal cases in Dali Temple. It is estimated that the inspiration for this game comes from Di Renjie's experience."

aside.

Yi Wenwen's father shook his head, and said with a smile: "But I think this game is because I don't want Di Renjie to sit in the Dali Temple... But Di Renjie is the most famous politician in the Tang and Wu Zhou Dynasties. With a good name, he can be regarded as a model representative of a Confucian good official, and it is really fanciful for a game company to let such a character go around to investigate and investigate cases."

"After all, it's a game..."

Yi Wenwen retorted, then suddenly thought of something, and asked: "However, it is indeed a bit unexpected, Dad, do you think this kind of game is good?"

Yi Wenwen's father heard the words, thought for a moment, stood up, and said with a smile: "I can't comment, because this game has not been released yet, and I don't know what kind of story this game tells. But I still hold Not optimistic about the attitude, I don't know much about games, but the plot should be more gimmick than reality, just use a shell to tell a completely irrelevant story.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, you young people like it, game companies like it... I can't influence anything, after all, historical materials are boring. "

After all, he shook his head and left.

Yi Wenwen: "..."

...

The "Di Renjie" promotional video was released not long ago.

It quickly became one of the hottest topics in the player community.

In fact, there is no new game released by Linmu Studio that does not become a hot topic.

This is the aura accumulated by Linmu Studio, and it is also the aura most envied by all game companies.

plus.

At present, there is only one company in China that has the ability and courage to produce 3A, and has never disappointed players.

"Call of Duty" still has a lot of prestige, so it's no wonder it's not popular.

As for the final promotional video this time, players are generally very satisfied.

Because the hard-core fighting game is still the key point, although the main line of the game focuses on detectives, which is a bit unexpected, and some players are worried about its interesting level.

But most players can still accept it.

"Wuhu, Fighting Knife is really cool."

"The action system of this game really satisfies all my fantasies about the collision of ancient forces."

"It's so handsome, but the name of the game is Di Renjie, but the protagonist is not Di Renjie, hahaha..."

"Crazy! Di Renjie was a prime minister and a civil servant in history, how could he be the protagonist... But I'm curious, what kind of story will this tell?"

"After watching the promotional video, to be honest, I was a little worried. Have you seen the logo at the beginning of the promotional video? Conglong Studio is the first-party studio acquired by Linmu. I heard that this work is made by Conglong Studio. Long is in charge, this kind of plot, and it is the first time for Conglong to do this kind of 3A, I am really worried about the quality of the work."

"Upstairs, is it true or not!?"

"I see that Conglong did leak the news that they completed this work independently, and there should be a gap compared with the headquarters of Linmu Studio..."

"Don't worry! Lin Yao stares! Believe her!"

"..."

Yes.

The players are quite satisfied with the promotional film, and they are not resistant to the detective.

On the contrary, I expressed concern about the sudden appearance of Conglong Studio LOGO...

After all, Conglong Studio was not merged into the headquarters of Linmu Studio.

It seems to be short in itself.

Under various rumors and rumors, some players expressed concern, which is understandable.

Lin Yao didn't care.

Because she played this game herself! When the game is released, players will know what the game is like.

But Zhang Tian from Conglong Studio is not so calm...

Linmu Studio, this is a gold-lettered signboard, which represents the code of flow and quality, but on the other hand, it also represents tremendous pressure...

So that day.

Zhang Tian called Lin Yao.

Then he asked nervously.

"Boss, why don't you remove the logo of Conglong Studio..."

"No, don't worry, this is normal public opinion. "Di Renjie" is a work produced by your studio, but you can't see your LOGO, what is it?"

Lin Yao shook her head slightly, then said with a smile: "You have to bear the pressure now, because I don't want the glory to be exclusive to Linmu Studio after the game is released, so don't worry."

Zhang Tian: "..."

It seems that Zhang Tian is still a little uneasy after discovering it.

Lin Yao changed the subject: "By the way, I asked you to add some historical stories at the end of the game, have you added them?"

"Added it."

When Zhang Tian heard Lin Yao talking about business, he immediately cheered up.

This is an additional request made by Lin Yao when they were testing the game during this period of time.

That is, at the end of the game, introduce the historical lives of some important characters in the game.

Such as Di Renjie, Wu Zetian.

This can be regarded as a little selfishness of Lin Yao, but the effect is unknown.

But there is a good saying that historical materials are boring, and the best way for historical figures to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is to become literary images and live in stories.

But in addition to the literary image, it is also meaningful to introduce them to the players who are interested in them. They are real in history...

Lin Yao chatted with Zhang Tian for a while, and after completely dispelling Zhang Tian's worries, she hung up the phone.

"What about "Di Renjie"?"

In the conference room, Zhong Xiu watched Lin Yao hang up the phone and asked.

"Um."

Lin Yao nodded, then put down her phone, clapped her hands lightly, and attracted the attention of others: "Okay, let's get back to the topic... There will be a very important product next year, I hope you are ready."

"... what is it?"

Zhong Xiu temporarily put aside the matter of "Di Renjie" and asked curiously.

After all, almost all the people in charge of the PC department who can be named have come.

This battle is rare.

"MMORPG."

Lin Yao spit out a word, then picked up a thick stack of A4 paper on the table: "MMORPG based on the extension of "Warcraft", the project name - "World of Warcraft"!"

"……ah?"

As soon as Lin Yao said this.

Almost instantly.

All the producers, including Zhong Xiu, showed astonishment and disbelief.

...

The end of the year.

"Di Renjie" was released, and "World of Warcraft" was approved.

Whether it is for players or for the staff inside Linmu Studio.

It's not destined to be peaceful...

Strongly recommend this book! A gigantic book.
