There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

Li Guangsheng's intuition was very accurate.

After all, I have been paying attention to this matter all the time, and I am also a colleague of Linmu Studio.

After he saw the promotional video of the forest carnival.

You know, until the end of the carnival, this period of time will belong to Linmu Studio...

Because they are so vile!

It's been too long!

Let alone a player.

When he saw the maid walking forward in "Easter Egg Adventure", it was like walking through the entire history of the game, and finally reached the end, from a pixel villain who could only see the outline to a high-definition 3D model... collaborating with Linmu Studio The classic lines in the previous promotional videos finally stood in front of the group of strange characters and said 'Welcome to the Forest Carnival'.

He even had the idea of ​​wanting to participate...

Because the atmosphere is in place, it is really in place.

He understood Mou Feng's feeling when he said, "If one day we can reach this level, I will die without regret".

Because he also had the same thought.

I really can't accept it...

Even him.

Not to mention players.

Want to grab traffic at this time? Want to attract players' attention, want to fart...

And the fact is exactly as Li Guangsheng expected.

Players, after the Forest Carnival promotional video was released.

Immediately fell into a carnival.

And after being too excited for a short time, I couldn't help myself.

Not to mention playing other games, they didn't even play the games of Linmu Studio in a short period of time, and their minds were full of carnivals!

After all, the "Easter Egg Adventure" is still fresh in my memory.

Now that the "Easter Egg Adventure" is over, there is another big job ahead, which is really cool!

and.

Linmu Studio is not as simple as releasing a promotional video.

Along with the launch of the promotional video, there is also the official website of 'Carnival'.

The above not only announced the holding time of the "Forest Carnival", basic information such as ticket acquisition.

Also announced, all its games!

Note that all games, including existing games on the console and PC, will be linked with 'Carnival'.

Even games that have been released for a long time and can be regarded as old have linkages.

For example, "The Witch" will update the unique carnival costumes!

It is even said that there are so many online games that have been in operation for a long time!

The official website even said that all players who hold tickets can get corresponding commemorative props during the carnival!

Although only one game can be selected for exchange, the exchange supports every game!

Time-limited costumes and props!

All games!

certainly.

This is just an appetizer, the most important thing is the offline carnival!

Forest Studio will hold meetups for all long-running games! These games will all announce new content at the carnival! Moreover, the person in charge of the project development team of Linmu Studio will go to the scene to meet the players.

Then answer the doubts and questions of the players!

All the top executives of the development department of Linmu Studio will appear, including... Lin Yao herself! !

in addition.

The official website also announced that Linmu Studio will announce the next new work at the carnival, including consoles and PCs!

And there will also be a meeting for these new works, and even some new games will provide demos!

Let's not talk about anything else.

That's it!

Early access to the new game from Forest Studio! It's enough for players to flock to it!

On the official website of the 'Forest Carnival', there are five pages full of details about the event!

On the tentative schedule, almost all the games of Linmu Studio are included, and there are a bunch of new games in it.

It's really a veritable carnival, a carnival!

The excitement of the players can be imagined.

"Amazing!!! The opening ceremony on May 1st will be the "Breakout" meeting in the afternoon!! Announce the direction of the next update, including new maps, new guns and new passes! There are also new modes!"

"This is too grand! It lasted for a whole week! All the high-level officials showed up! I can finally see the dog's plan!"

"What a dog planner! Be polite when you speak on the spot, that's Master Planner!"

"I am more concerned about the meeting of new works that I have never heard of before! "Monster Hunter", "World of Warcraft", "Diablo"! I probably have a concept of the new works of Pokémon, but these three The game really can't guess, is World of Warcraft the sequel to Warcraft? What will it be like! I'm looking forward to it now!"

"Actually, not only are these new works worth looking forward to, but in addition to these IPs, there will also be corresponding meeting meetings for "Call of Duty", "Di Renjie" and "Sherlock Holmes", so will it be a new work? Is it a new work!!"

"I see the schedule now, and my whole body is not good! I can't stay for a day this month!"

"I want to see Lin Yao!! I will see Lin Yao offline! I will definitely see it at the opening ceremony!"

"Tickets! When will the tickets go on sale? I'm going to start setting the alarm clock to grab them. I have a hunch that this time the tickets will be very popular! Very popular!"

"Don't have a premonition, just take a look at other posts on the forum. The lucky ones who bought tickets for "The Case of Dee" and "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" are going crazy. If the tickets are family heirlooms, there are still a bunch of them below. People want to buy at a high price."

"Actually, it's normal. Just look at how much attention Linmu Studio attaches to this 'Carnival', and you'll know how exciting the scene will be! Starting from the 'Easter Egg Adventure', all the way to the present, the announced schedule is also full. It's all dry, not a drop of moisture."

"The most valuable one should be the ticket for 'Duoyu', number NO.1, the number one player! I regret it so much now! I should have chosen the hard liver 'Easter Egg Adventure' in the first place!"

"Yeah, the tone of his post is so happy and crazy... And there are even players who paid six figures to buy tickets with him!"

"Come on May! Come on Carnival..."

"..."

Player enthusiasm.

Ridiculously high.

After all, they can also see that Linmu Studio's intentions in the first "Carnival" this time are really full of dry goods!

Even just by looking at the schedule, you can imagine the situation at the scene.

In this case, it would be a ghost to be indifferent.

Overseas players can't do it!

With the release of the promotional video of the carnival by Forest Studio.

Overseas players have finally come out of "Dee Gong's Case" and "Sherlock Holmes Collection", and they reacted after knowing it!

Although it is said that the rise of Linmu Studio was launched in "Battlefield", the name was remembered on a large scale around the launch of "Call of Duty".

But there are also quite a few of their previous best-selling games overseas.

At the end of the promotional video, many overseas players saw the figure standing behind the maid in the "Forest Carnival" billboard.

I found that many of them were familiar to me... In addition, Linmu Studio also said that it would announce a bunch of new works on the spot, including a meeting of the highly anticipated sequel of "Call of Duty".

This tm... who is not tempted.

So soon.

The hot topic on overseas forums turned into a 'Forest Carnival'.

Many overseas major manufacturers, especially those with substantial interests in Linmu Studio, have also received the news.

These big factories, especially those in charge of big factories like Giber Company and Dreamland, are silent and helpless in the face of such activities.

This game player platform, the situation feels more and more difficult...

And here we are.

The "Forest Carnival" really felt like a grand event in the entire gaming circle.

The players enthusiastically discussed the content of the carnival.

And they discussed and discussed.

All topics lead to the same question.

That's... tickets! ! !

...

"Get ready to release the first batch of tickets."

Lin Yao sat behind the desk, looked at the enthusiastic discussions among the players on the forum, smiled, then looked at Mu Wanqing who was holding a box not far away, and gave an order.

"I have already asked the operation department and the technical department to prepare, and it will be released later."

Mandy nodded, then replied.

This time, Linmu Studio did not let the ticketing website dominate the ticket sales, but Linmu Studio itself participated in it.

After all, the enthusiasm of the players is too high.

With such high enthusiasm, even the enthusiasm of scalpers has continued to rise...

Lin Yao spent so much thought and effort in preparing the carnival, of course she didn't want the player's experience to be ruined by scalpers.

Therefore, the threshold for snapping up most tickets is very high.

A certain game has more than 150 hours of playing time, or has purchased two buyout games from Linmu Studio, and cleared at least one of them, to be eligible to snap up tickets.

Most of the 'Carnival' tickets on sale will have such a rush-purchase threshold, and after the tickets are purchased, they need to be bound with an ID card immediately, and the ticket and ID must match before entering the venue.

In the future, Lin Yao will release a small batch of tickets for general audiences, but most of the tickets will be sold in this way.

To put it simply, the old players of Linmu Studio have an advantage in buying tickets.

Although it is said that new players can create more value than old players, Lin Yao doesn't want to hear such nonsense.

She personally feels that the maintenance cost of old players is the lowest and the most important.

They accompanied Linmu Studio through the entire process of rising, and the purpose of her planning the carnival was to increase the cohesion of fans and give benefits to old players.

As for new players, there will be plenty of games to attract them in the future.

Lin Yao is quite confident about this.

certainly.

Even if this is achieved, it is estimated that the scalpers will still have a way, such as buying some player accounts.

Lin Yao can't do anything about it.

After all, the Tao is one foot tall and the devil is ten feet tall. If you want to take advantage of loopholes, you can always find a way.

Lin Yao can only do her best.

"Then remember to tell me if you have any questions."

Lin Yao got a definite answer from Mu Wanqing, she stood up, stretched herself, checked the time, and was about to go out.

Although the carnival now attracts countless attention.

But this is just a staged victory.

After attracting attention.

In the end, whether the carnival can satisfy the players has become the top priority.

Especially the opening ceremony.

The suggestion that Lin Yao originally wanted to give to the Global Game Awards, is now used in the carnival.

However, time is tight, and she attaches great importance to the first skewer performance.

So check it out every now and then.

"etc."

But just as Lin Yao wanted to leave, she was stopped by Mu Wanqing.

"Anything else?"

Lin Yao looked at Mu Wanqing who was holding the box in one hand and holding her wrist in the other, feeling a little puzzled.

"Well, the clothes are here."

Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, and then showed the small box in her hand.

"..."

Lin Yao's expression became a little subtle.

Isn't this action too fast?

"See if it fits."

Mu Wanqing let go of Lin Yao's wrist, then put the small box in her arms on the table, opened the lid, took out a maid uniform from inside, and came in front of Lin Yao.

It was a very traditional maid dress.

The whole is based on medieval European maid clothes, with functionality as the main appeal. The style is very simple and simple, mainly composed of aprons decorated with white ruffles and white-collared plain one-piece dresses.

It's not the kind of short skirt maid clothing that many people are most familiar with, and then you have to wear pantyhose or suspenders under the apron.

After all, Lin Yao is to surprise the players, not to sell benefits... If you really want to do this, you will fall behind, and Lin Yao is not happy.

The only time she wore black silk was in front of Lin Xi... How could she run around wearing it now.

Most importantly, Mu Wanqing may not be happy...

In addition, the design of the "Carnival" kanban girl is originally a long skirt, so this is very reasonable.

but……

Although it is true, this is different from the short skirt that many people are most familiar with, and it looks very conservative.

However, after so many years of development, the maid's clothing has long been attached to the cute attribute.

Same here.

so.

When Mu Wanqing took the maid outfit and compared it in front of her, Lin Yao's expression was still a little subtle.

"... just right."

Mu Wanqing compared the dress with the girl for a while, and then looked at the girl's round and pretty oval face, as if imagining what Lin Yao would look like when she put it on...a faint smile appeared on her face.

"That's fine, it's just... I suddenly feel a little regretful."

Lin Yao sighed, thinking of retreating.

"It's actually going to be pretty..."

Mu Wanqing shook her head lightly, and then persuaded: "Would you like to try it here?"

"No, I'll wear it later."

Lin Yao immediately shook her head.

After Mu Wanqing heard the words, she didn't force her, she put away the maid's clothes, and continued: "Then the shoes and stockings are left."

"Ah? Why are there stockings? Isn't this a long skirt?"

Lin Yao was shocked when she heard the words, and immediately regained her spirits.

"Because the skirt is placed at the position of the shoes, the calf will be exposed, and the bare legs will not look good."

Mu Wanqing explained: "So they usually wear socks inside, and considering the special nature of maid uniforms, they usually wear socks that can cover the entire calf, and the only ones that meet the requirements are silk stockings or pantyhose...

Considering the color matching, the best choice is white silk... But don't worry, if it's just the calf, it won't leak at all, I have fully considered it. "

"Baisi?"

Lin Yao slightly widened her beautiful eyes.

"Um."

Mu Wanqing looked at her and nodded seriously.

"goodbye!"

Lin Yao turned her head and left: "I, Lin Yao, will die...don't pull me!"

...

at the same time.

Just when Lin Yao was worrying about her clothes...

The operation department and technical department of Linmu Studio released the release time and purchase conditions of the first batch of "Carnival" sects.

First batch of tickets! It goes on sale the next day!

Use rush buying system! There are strict requirements!

However, the rigid conditions or barriers to entry are not a problem at all for most players who have strong expectations for the 'Carnival'.

After all, the most enthusiastic about the Carnival is the old players who grew up with Linmu Studio. And these old players, which one didn't start out after playing a certain game for hundreds of hours.

What they are most worried about is their own face.

After all, if the conditions are met, if you don't grab it, it's useless.

So generally speaking, players are still very satisfied with this regulation, at least the signal released by Linmu Studio is obvious, that is, old players are given priority.

This is also in line with the positioning of Carnival.

All Woodworks games come together as players celebrate the game together.

And to participate in such an event, you must at least have a certain understanding of one of the games of Linmu Studio, right?

certainly.

There are also players who criticize that this requirement is too strict, but there are really not many such people.

After all, players who don't play Linmu Studio games will not be so excited.

Overseas, the conditions are the same, and they also have to consider the cost of cross-border travel.

Lin Yao did not give overseas privileges and treated them equally.

Probably because of the success of the e-sports festival held every year, many overseas viewers are not disappointed. Their enthusiasm for this "Forest Carnival" event is also quite high after the promotional video is released.

And the first batch of tickets for the Forest Carnival.

Within 30 seconds of release, they were all sold out.

The speed of selling out is beyond imagination.

Let all the domestic counterparts smash their tongues.

Let all colleagues know that this activity of Linmu Studio was a success again.

And time, just like this day by day.

Player here.

Looking forward to the arrival of the carnival day.

At the same time, I am eagerly looking forward to the tickets released by Linmu Studio...

And Lin Mu Studio here.

Various preparations and preparations are also proceeding in an orderly manner.

Venue decoration, event flow, schedule determination, live performances, safety issues...

Lin Yao also temporarily put aside the matter of costumes, and started the final rehearsal for the opening scene at the very beginning.

The whole studio went into a frenzy.

We are working hard for the most important comprehensive event "Carnival" of Linmu Studio in the first half of the year.

Because there were too many people, Lin Yao finally asked the affairs commissioner to contact Pengcheng.

And Pengcheng is also very face-saving, according to the scale of the e-sports festival at the end of the year, it gave the "Forest Carnival" the same level of assistance.

Mainly there are many overseas audiences.

And with the support from Pengcheng, Linmu Studio's preparations became easier.

finally.

Everything is going in the right direction...

April 23rd.

The last batch of tickets for the 'Carnival' was released. After this batch of tickets were sold out, it was officially announced that all the tickets for the 'Forest Carnival' were sold out.

As for the result.

Some people are happy and some are worried.

Because the venue can accommodate a limited number of people, there are only so many tickets for the carnival, and there are still many old players who really have no choice but to grab...

Linmu Studio also took this into consideration.

A new announcement was released, saying that it will cooperate with the largest live broadcast platform in China to broadcast the carnival live.

This is a small consolation for many players who did not get tickets.

It is the best news for more players who are temporarily unconditional and cannot participate in the event because they are too far away.

And after this news was announced.

Whether it's the players who got the tickets, or the players who didn't get the tickets, the players who don't have the conditions to go to the scene for the time being.

While enthusiastically discussing the content of "Carnival" in the major game communities, they all began to look forward to the arrival of May 1st!

All attention!

...

time.

Soon it will be May 1st.

seven o'clock in the morning.

Pengcheng!

Chunying Stadium!

Chunying Gymnasium, where e-sports events are held at the end of each year, is crowded with people in the first half of the year!

It was really a sea of ​​people.

There were so many people standing there almost half a meter apart.

There are people everywhere!

They lined up in an orderly manner, although no one shouted loudly... But the huge square was full of people, even if everyone made a small noise, it made the scene extremely noisy.

not to mention.

There are still many COSERs standing at the entrance!

Some of them are players, but most of them are COS groups specially contacted by Linmu Studio.

They wear costumes of well-known characters from Woodland Studios' games, wigs...or helmets.

Very eye-catching.

This made the already noisy square even more lively.

"Damn it, why are there so many people? Is that celebrity having a concert?"

On the motorway next to Chunying Gymnasium, a taxi driver looked out the window while waiting for the traffic lights, and was taken aback.

Good guy.

All heads!

"What kind of concert is it? Look at the huge posters hanging outside the stadium... This is the game carnival of Linmu Studio."

Behind the taxi, the passenger smiled and looked at the huge poster hanging outside Chunying Stadium.

Those are all games under the banner of Linmu Studio.

What "Breakout", "Warcraft", "Mario Kart", "The Witch"...

As long as you are a player who plays games, you can enjoy good games like a treasure.

"Carnival?"

The driver also looked at the huge posters outside and felt familiar, but he didn't play games after all, so he quickly shook his head and sighed: "It's not a celebrity, but there are indeed many people. Last time I saw a celebrity There are not so many people who come to the concert... Are you here to participate in this too?"

"Yeah, so driver, can you hurry up..."

"Hurry up, hurry up, you can get off after passing this traffic light."

...

at the same time.

The interior of Chunying Gymnasium.

some lounge.

"..."

The cute girl had a shy face, wearing a white maid's turban on her head, and a maid's long skirt with white as the main tone and ruffles.

The plain maid's one-piece dress, although very conservative, could not conceal the girl's graceful and exquisite curves at all.

The hem of the one-piece dress extends all the way to the girl's calf.

And the girl was stepping on small leather shoes, between the small leather shoes and the hem of the skirt, a delicate calf was exposed outside, wrapped in soft white silk...

Very traditional.

But also very emotional.

Paired with a little shyness on the girl's face, cuteness... is enough.

"very nice."

Mu Wanqing helped the girl tidy up her clothes, then took a step back, looked it over carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.

"...I paid too much!"

When Lin Yao heard her words, she also lowered her head and looked at her eyes. After a moment of silence, she sighed, gently brushed her shawl hair, and said, "Forget it, let's get started!"

"good."

Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, then looked at the girl again, couldn't help but take a step forward, opened her arms, and hugged the lovely girl tightly.

She hugged him hard for a while before reluctantly leaving.

Lin Yao: "..."
