There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

Although the slide repairs the name.

It is a bit difficult to understand.

But some players in the audience still got to this point.

So in addition to cheers, there were also laughter.

certainly.

It's not as exaggerated as the big and small laughing and hugging each other at the gate at the moment.

And Zhong Xiu also realized that he was being led astray, and he was a little helpless, but seeing the good response from the players below, he didn't bother to correct it.

"This time I will bring you a new work."

"Another new work from Linmu Studio that was released this year, a work that will be launched on both the PC side and the console side at the same time."

Zhong Xiu didn't hesitate at all. After introducing himself, he turned around and started the opening speech.

And he was greeted with deafening cheers,

Although something went wrong during the introduction, players are most looking forward to the new game.

Zhong Xiu waited patiently for the cheers to stop, enjoying the cheers at the moment.

"As for what kind of game it is... We have a work before, everyone should have played it, the name is "Dark Soul", this is also our first attempt at a dark-style game."

Zhong Xiu briefly mentioned a game that had been released before, and then began to pace the stage: "And the leader of this game, you should all know it, is Lin Yao. But you may not know that, in fact, the whole game is The basic tone of the art style was set by her. She drew about 170 sets of pictures for this game... Isn't it outrageous? To be honest, I can't figure it out. Why is she such a girl? There is a soft spot for this style, or more precisely, why is it so good at this style.”

"About this, I once asked her...why?"

Zhong Xiu asked himself and answered: "And her answer is very simple, just say it's cool, um, in fact, most of the staff think so, it's really cool... This answer is indeed in line with expectations, except for some people who think it's too difficult. Besides, almost everyone likes it."

Hearing his words, huge cheers erupted from the audience again.

In addition to shouting 'Lin Yao'.

Some people are shouting 'Qi Jianhua Qi Jianhua'.

The relevant culture that was born at the beginning does not seem to disappear with time.

On the contrary, it is more deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Zhong Xiu scratched his head. In fact, he didn't intend to mention Qi Jianhua. After all, many people think that the dark soul is difficult, but since the matter has come to this point, there is no other way.

He smiled, and continued: "After this game, I thought it would be difficult to have similar works, unless a sequel was made, but just last year... Lin Yao found us again. She handed We stacked a stack of setting drawings and a planning book, and then told us, we will do this next.

After reading it with the person in charge of the host department, I realized that Lin Yao has never given up on that cool art style. This time, she went even further.

And this game, which I think goes a step further, is exactly that - Diablo. "

As his voice fell.

On the screen behind him, there appeared a demon that seemed to poke its head out of the darkness, overlooking all the people present. It was staring ahead, and above its head was the name of the Diablo game.

Seeing the cover on the screen behind Zhong Xiu revealed a different feeling of the game cover.

The audience cheered again.

Dark style?

further?

These words stimulate the player.

And wait for Zhong Xiu to say the next sentence.

The players even showed astonished expressions, and their curiosity was directly pulled to the peak.

"And this "Diablo" is also the first time that we internally feel that basically in all regions, the rating should be 17+ games."

"So, you can probably imagine what I mean by going further."

As soon as Zhong Xiu said these words, whether it was the players watching the live broadcast or the players at the scene, all of them felt itchy.

The grading system in each region is different, not to say that Linmu Studio has not made M-rated games before, that is, 17+ rated games, but it is often different in each region. Some regions may be M-rated, but some may be M-rated. It is not.

But now Zhong Xiu told them.

Their internal belief is that new games will be rated 17+ in all regions.

this……

interesting!

"In this game, in addition to the changes in the art style, we also thought about the gameplay of the existing game, about equipment, about attribute bonuses, and about skill enhancement."

Zhong Xiu looked at the expecting players in the audience, and said with a smile: "These are the contents of many games. The pigeon games made by many developers of our Vaporwave game platform even use the features I just mentioned as The main gameplay design, and then let players have a brand new experience every time they open the game.

This is undoubtedly a good idea, and in this game, we will go one step further! Continue to improve this gameplay so that players can develop ever-changing styles of play through different combinations of equipment and skills when cultivating characters. Lin Yao calls this gameplay 'Build', a market-like Similar to previous games, but with a more advanced gameplay! Meaning genres... kaleidoscopic genres! "

"OHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Although the game has not seen.

But Zhong Xiu's skill in painting cakes is really powerful.

Just standing up and talking, the player's expectations were raised to an extremely high level.

"So, let's take a look at the game now."

Zhong Xiu saw that the atmosphere was almost ready, and while walking to the side, signaled to the studio staff in the background.

at the venue.

The lights dimmed immediately.

The lights on the stage also dimmed.

The screen lights up.

then.

The chords sounded.

The discordant chords play out the slightly weird classic theme of the Diablo series.

Accompanied by players cheering.

The promo was played.

The grading numbers of 17+ appear on the screen brightly.

Then the screen went black.

A flame lit up.

The top of the stick was burning, and the flames danced.

Men with sticks began to light white candles that were placed here and there, even on skulls.

At the same time, a female voice sounded.

【It has been said that when all is lost, there is a new beginning. 】

The LOGO of Linmu Studio appeared.

It seemed to be whispering, and it also sounded like a female singing.

The screen also began to change.

Huge building built on the mountain

A huge skeleton in the desert.

An exotic city in a desert oasis.

The meteor streaked across the night sky and flew towards the dimly lit village...

And the singing that seemed to be whispering, and the deep voice of the narrator.

go hand in hand.

[But shadows loom over our world again, fear dissipates in the cold and bitter wind, and people pray for strength and shelter. 】

【However, they better pray for a merciful and happy death, because I have seen the hidden darkness...】

The screen jumps to a certain section of the city wall.

Two soldiers looked into the distance.

And far away.

Thick smoke rose from the center of the canyon, and the flames were looming in the smoke, like an ominous omen.

And with the narration female voice said the last sentence.

The camera came to the canyon.

Countless 'figures' were like ants, marching forward densely under the light of the fire.

Those are all hideous demons.

They pushed the siege equipment and strode forward.

Falling meteor.

Angel in heavy armor.

Roaring demon.

Promo at the end.

The demon on the cover walked out of the flames, and roared into the distance.

next scene.

A girl was awakened suddenly, then straightened up, panting slightly.

Looks terrified.

She was in shock.

Finally, after the screen went dark, he left a sentence.

【I...I don't think it's safe here...】

Immediately afterwards.

Mars lights up on the screen, slowly forming a mark.

Then the name of the game appeared in the center——

Diablo.

"OHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Although the gameplay has not been revealed yet.

But the CG of Linmu Studio is still as good as ever! !

The audience present felt the same way.

So even if the gameplay is not disclosed.

They also feel worthy of cheering.

And it turns out.

Their cheers are indeed worth it.

Because right after the promo was played.

Zhong Xiu didn't appear at all.

Came directly to the real machine demonstration link!

Not sloppy at all.

Then the real machine screen came out for a moment.

All players were shocked.

Dark dungeons, twisted monsters, bloodstains dragged into strips, mutilated limbs scattered on the edge of the map...

In the center of the screen is a humanoid creature with a severely unbalanced body proportion, with a strong dark punk style, absurd and weird.

Just one picture... the gothic temperament blows in my face.

The atmosphere of death, the oppressive atmosphere almost overflowed the screen.

this moment.

The players understood what Zhong Xiu meant by going one step further.

And the UI in the game also came out at this moment, and it turned out to be a bird's-eye view!

but.

It is also because of the angle of view.

Players can follow the barbarian closely without being attracted by other things, and can focus all their attention on the dungeon with extremely poor visibility, and follow the barbarian controlled by the staff to explore.

And in the first few minutes, the audience's only feeling about this game is that there is blood and horror everywhere...

Oddly-shaped enemies are everywhere and rush at any time.

The sound of chopping into flesh, dull sound effect.

After the enemy is defeated, the limbs flying around...

The entire demonstration, at least the first half, did not shy away from these primitive, bare-bones impact.

This powerful picture, coupled with the fact that the game environment is not very bright, the whole picture seems to be covered with a layer of dust, the scene is still dim, and visibility is still limited.

It really has a strong cult vibe and a B-movie feel to it.

The climax of the actual machine demonstration probably occurred in the middle.

The barbarian controlled by the staff changed a map and entered a room.

Then, I saw a huge figure covered in blood sitting on a high stone seat.

And the room he was in was full of people.

As soon as he saw the barbarian controlled by the staff, he stood up immediately and rushed over with a knife.

I don't know if it's because of fear or what.

The savage man manipulated by the staff started running around the room.

Then.

All kinds of bloody pictures that directly hit people's hearts came into view, and the sense of oppression was directly full.

auditorium.

There was no audience cheering.

Because this is a step further, and the progress is too outrageous!

Everyone was shocked by this powerful picture.

Many people even failed to listen to the gameplay introduction.

During the whole demonstration of the actual machine, apart from the slight sound of breathing, the auditorium could almost hear a pin drop.

until.

The real machine demonstration is over.

Zhong Xiu came out.

All the audience has not reacted yet...

Um.

In easier-to-understand words, the SAN value of many players has dropped a lot...

"This is Diablo."

Zhong Xiu spoke softly.

The players in the auditorium finally reacted.

then.

Deafening cheers resounded throughout the venue.

"And next, I will introduce this game to you, this is the most daring game of Linmu Studio so far! By the way, the pre-sale of this game on the host side will not be open to players under the age of 18 Open, the domestic version of the Vaporwave game platform will also require secondary age verification."

Zhong Xiu waited for the cheers to stop, and said something more practical.

But these words, not only did not make the enthusiasm of the players recede, but made the cheers even louder.

Because no matter after watching the real machine demonstration, you like it or not.

Forest Studio has taken this step.

They are not complacent, they are not staying in their comfort zone.

Instead, he came up with a... how should I put it, a game with a strong impact, which is a surprise in itself!

The cheers did not stop for a long time.

It made Zhong Xiu's next introduction difficult.

And the entrance gate.

Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing were still standing, watching Zhong Xiu perform on stage.

certainly.

Mu Wanqing almost didn't look at the screen the whole time.

She can accept gore and the like, but for some reason, her acceptance of horror-like things is very low.

This time, under the leadership of Lin Yao, Linmu Studio's "Diablo" has an art style closer to the high-definition "Diablo 2".

The sense of terror is not low at all.

So Mu Wanqing couldn't handle it.

"Let's go."

Lin Yao glanced at her profile and knew that she was not used to it, so she took her hand and prepared to leave.

"Aren't you going to continue watching?"

Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao in front of her, a little curious.

"No, the response is good. It is estimated that the discussion of the next game will be very good. Zhong Xiu can handle it. It is better to say that more troubles are yet to come. But thanks to the mature grading system, under the second level of verification, like "Di Renjie" There should be no such controversy.”

Lin Yao turned around when she heard the words, stepped back, and said with a smile: "This time the game announcement has been successful, let's go and see the situation of the band, they are about to perform, and I don't know how they are practicing. "

...

As Lin Yao expected.

The Diablo meetup just ended.

wrong.

Before it was over, related topics began to seize the popularity of "Monster Hunter" and "Pokémon".

The enthusiasm of the players for discussion is really high.

Although this situation is not expected to last for too long.

After all, the first game to be released is not "Diablo", and Lin Yao is not going to launch the pre-order page of the store too early.

Because there are a lot of new games, and all of them are launched in a hurry, it will become a vicious internal competition, and the gains outweigh the losses.

but.

The cult classic of "Diablo", the bloody picture, and the undisguised impact of the red fruit still left a deep impression on the players...

Even if the game won't be released anytime soon.

They couldn't help but discuss the game, too.

This is a classic game.

"Holy shit... This is too good! This picture, this impact, is really amazing."

"To be honest, I actually felt a little uncomfortable after reading it... It was too shocking, especially the room of the butcher boss, the impact was straight to the head."

"I have always believed that Linmu Studio can bring continuous surprises to players, but I didn't expect that this surprise would be so outrageous and so big... This time "Diablo" is really completely different from the previous two days. The new game is two styles."

"That's right. At first I didn't understand why Linmu Studio adopted the bird's-eye view, but after seeing it later, I understood that this picture is in the first person. It's probably not enough, and the bird's-eye view is already cultish enough!"

"The gameplay introduced by Zhong Xiu in the follow-up is also very interesting. There are so many professions, and I heard that there will be character DLC in the future. I feel that I have played some of them. Of course, the premise is that I can accept this cult picture."

"Sloppy! It's awesome! I thought there wouldn't be an eye-catching game in the game circle in a short period of time. I didn't expect it... I saw it today. At the scene, the big screen brought more Great impact, when the real machine demonstration screen came out, I even forgot to breathe, it was really shocking.”

"Who would have thought that a wife who wore a maid uniform on the first day would have such a hobby... Could it be S? No, I can already imagine the scene of being stepped on by Lin Yao with a small leather shoe."

"Upstairs, focus on yourself!"

"Bosses, what are you talking about? So is this game any good?"

"What do you say?"

"Diablo, before the meeting started, Zhong Xiu had laid the groundwork, and the name also pointed out the key point of Diablo. This question varies from person to person. Let's see if you can accept this cult image. If you can't, Then you can play other games. Linmu Studio has launched a lot of games this time.

If you can accept this dark style, it is totally worth buying! Of course it is good! After all, no one wants to see the types of games becoming the same. It is a very good thing to have a unique game, isn't it? That's why we love Woods Studio, isn't it? "

"Yes! Although I think it's the same as a B-grade movie, I still want to play it! The experience will probably be unique! This is my confidence in Linmu Studio."

"It's so cult! Although I'm too timid to play, but Linmu Studio's drive to get out of the comfort zone is really amazing!"

"Ah... Carnival has just announced three games, and I am interested in them all. There will be a new game announced tomorrow. I have to say, this year is really very happy! There will be no shortage of games to play, but I have to worry about my wallet."

"After the rise of Linmu Studio, which year was not happy?"

"..."

Players have very high expectations for "Diablo". Of course there are players who can't accept this kind of cult graphics and art style, but as a player said in the discussion.

They don't accept it, but they also admire Linmu Studio's drive to get out of the comfort zone.

Not everyone can do it, and everyone dares to make a game with such a distinctive style.

And most players, mainstream male players, almost have strong expectations for this game.

After all, when the game started, whether it was here or Lin Yao's previous life, there were not too many cult-style games.

Players do not resist this style.

On the contrary, I look forward to it even more.

As for overseas.

As soon as the game "Diablo" was released, there is no doubt that it has been enthusiastically sought after!

Because Linmu Studio announced new games like dumplings, many players even praised this Linmu Carnival as the best game exhibition.

But the players are happy.

For peers.

I have a headache...

Because this B'Forest Carnival' is not over yet...

"How many new games do they have?"

evening.

Li Guangsheng walked out from the venue, and then he looked up to the sky and sighed.

Standing next to him, Mou Feng looked at the players who were discussing the latest game "Diablo" released by Linmu Studio in twos and threes. After a moment of silence, he shook his head slightly: "I don't know, but I guess, in the next half a year, they will It's about to dominate the screen... I can only say that it's a good thing it's not an online game."

"Hmm... Fortunately, it's not an online game..." Li Guangsheng pulled himself together when he heard what Mou Feng said.

"The biggest headache should not be us, but the big overseas companies." Mou Feng continued as if to cheer up the neighbors, "Although their stand-alone masterpieces are online, the boundaries between stand-alone games and online games are beginning to blur. Yes, but online games still have advantages, and the Forest Carnival shouldn’t have too much impact on us... Let’s just keep learning and maintain the current situation of online games.”

"En." Li Guangsheng reluctantly nodded.

"However... some preparations can also be started."

Mou Feng hesitated for a moment, looking at the city where the lights were first lit up: "Isn't there news recently? It is said that the new generation of communication network technology is about to be commercialized."

"What does this have to do with us?" Li Guangsheng was a little surprised when he heard this irrelevant words.

"It's related... I always think this is an opportunity."

Mou Feng said with some uncertainty: "Go and drive first, I will explain to you on the way."

While talking, the two began to walk towards the parking lot.

And they still don't know what Linmu Studio will announce next...

...

at the same time.

In the venue of the carnival.

Lin Yao is in a lounge, watching a band perform.

It's just that this band is not a well-known band.

It was spelled out.

The band members are all from Linmu Studio.

The member who plays the drum set is Qi Jianhua, an old acquaintance.

Yes.

Although he played the game well, he played the drums well...

As for why Linmu Studio formed a band.

Mainly for the closing ceremony.

Forest Studio Band will sing at the closing ceremony!

After all, it's fun together, so show some fun.

It's a good idea for the staff to perform on stage.

"Boss, what do you think?"

The lead singer sang a song.

During the break, Qi Jianhua noticed Lin Yao, came over and asked her opinion.

Lin Yao stood next to Mu Wanqing, crossed her chest, thought for a while, and replied, "It's great, we're just for the players, we don't need to be professional, and we don't need it, as long as we can mobilize the atmosphere."

"Well... But Lin Yao, isn't it good that we sang the song "Another One Bites The Dust" at the closing ceremony?"

Qi Jianhua nodded when he got the answer, then hesitated for a moment, and asked in embarrassment.

"You choose it yourself, what does it matter to me!?"

Lin Yao glared at him lightly, and said confidently.

She also participated in the orchestra performance this time, but behind the scenes, mainly to give players a bright feeling.

With the help of professionals, Lin Yao chose a few songs that are not available in this world.

And Qi Jianhua's "Another One Bites The Dust" is one of them, and the Chinese alias of this song is... The loser eats dust.

If you sing this song in the closing ceremony, although the meaning is not aimed at other peers, some lyrics do feel like implying something...

But Lin Yao would think of this song at the time, mainly because she liked Queen herself, and it was just as a backup. She didn't expect Zhong Xiu to like it very much when she saw the lyrics at the end, so she decided to sing it on the spot.

Yes.

Jong Soo is the bass player.

Linmu Studio is really full of talents...

"That was chosen by Zhong Xiu..." Qi Jianhua was a little embarrassed when he heard that.

"Then let's sing."

Lin Yao glanced at the band behind him, and suddenly couldn't help laughing: "I think the effect should be very good."

Qi Jianhua also looked back at the band.

He agrees with this...

Although the madness is a bit crazy, the effect should be very good... very good.
