There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

December 22nd.

The qualifiers for the e-sports festival have officially started.

After the ten-day qualifying match.

It's the race.

Because there are many events in the entire e-sports festival, and the competition rules of each event are completely different, ten days is actually quite tense.

But Nie Hui is confident.

His branch has confidence.

Then Lin Yao didn't say anything, let them do it.

She didn't have much involvement in the competition.

Now Lin Yao's work focuses almost entirely on the mainframe.

this time.

In addition to stuffing easter eggs into the promotional video of the e-sports festival, it caused a frenzy of discussion again.

Linmu Studio has announced more than a dozen game logos one after another.

These are all new works.

There are works by the first party of Linmu Studio, and there are also works by the third-party Greenlight production team.

For example, the production team that produced "Journey" was the first batch of developers to get the swich development kit.

Their new work will land on the mainframe of Linmu Studio, and a very strict non-disclosure agreement has been signed at the same time.

Not to mention the host.

Can't even disclose the game it's making.

So this also led to the fact that none of the game logos announced by Linmu Studio were recognized by players.

But in the past ten days, these unfamiliar game logos have almost been exhausted.

Soon, some game logos that players can recognize at a glance will be announced.

This also means that the host is about to be announced...

Lin Yao was actually quite nervous.

Most of the studio has been working continuously for so long, and Lin Yao has spent so much thought on it, plus the investment of Linmu Financial Holdings.

If the host fails.

The consequences were unimaginable.

Not only the investment of Linmu Studio is in vain, but also the investment of Linmu Financial Holdings will also be in vain.

In order to transform itself, Forest Financial Holdings has sold all the high-quality land on hand, and cut down some unnecessary industries as they can, and then built factories on a large scale to manufacture mainframes for the forest studio.

If it fails.

The vitality of Linmu Studio has been seriously injured, and Linmu Financial Holdings will face the dilemma of direct bankruptcy.

After all, although the high-quality land was sold to repay some loans, the debt ratio of Forestry Financial Holdings is still very high.

The entire hosting project is too much investment.

It is not comparable to making two or three games.

What a failure.

It is estimated that Lin Yao will sell the headquarters building under construction, and then do online games for several years to help Forest Financial Holdings pay off the debt...

So at this moment, if you say you are not nervous, it is a lie.

Lin Yao was very nervous, she almost hugged Mu Wanqing and said she was nervous...

But at this time, nervousness is of no use...

"Get ready to announce."

Lin Yao sat in her seat and breathed a sigh of relief: "Just announce the game logo of "Sword and Sword"."

Zhong Xiu nodded solemnly: "Okay."

Knives and Swords was the game launched last year during a special summer promotion.

This game has already been released.

Announcing it at this time is almost equivalent to a stone hammer.

"You don't have to worry too much. I was moved by our host, and you spent so long laying the groundwork. It will definitely be a great success."

Zhong Xiu thought about it and comforted Lin Yao.

He could tell that Lin Yao was a little nervous.

"Um."

Lin Yao nodded, then looked at Zhu Nianqiao who was at the side, picked up the planning book made after the announcement of the e-sports festival promotional video, and handed it to her.

Zhu Nianqiao took it with some doubts.

"New game, let the production team of "Mario Kart" take care of it."

Lin Yao explained: "We can't think about the failure of the mainframe, but think about the fact that after the mainframe is released, there will be new games for players to play every once in a while. This is the first plan, and there will be more in the future. Our host product department will be responsible for the production of host games in the future, and Zhong Xiu will be responsible for double-logged or ported games.”

"I see."

Zhu Nianqiao nodded, and while opening the planning book, he asked: "Then what is the name of this new game?"

"Pokémon, Pokémon."

Lin Yao said the name, and then explained: "The initial performance of this game may not be very good, but this kind of gameplay is suitable for all ages, and it is very suitable for promotion. I plan to make it a growth line, and you have some snacks."

The popularity of Pokémon is the result of 20 years of savings, coupled with strong promotion in the later stage, some opportunities, and animations have become popular all over the world.

Lin Yao didn't have high expectations for the popularity of the first work.

That's why she doesn't use Pokémon games as the first game.

but.

The most classic Pokémon collection, cultivation, exchange, and battle four core gameplays, coupled with the style of painting that is suitable for all ages, will allow all different players to find different fun.

Great potential.

So Lin Yao immediately wanted to make a work to test the water.

And the Pokémon game Lin Yao chose this time is the ninth generation "Pokémon Legend: Arceus".

This is the latest work of Lin Yao's previous Pokémon, and it is also the work that Lin Yao remembers most clearly.

"Wow... so cute."

the other side.

Zhu Nianqiao turned to a certain illustration, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he quickly flipped through it.

Each and every naive Pokémon pops up on the paper.

See half.

Zhu Nianqiao raised her head and looked at Lin Yao with glowing eyes.

"..."

Lin Yao met Zhu Nianqiao's eyes and smiled, she has a fan now.

It turns out.

Although not accumulated.

But this kind of game does have an audience.

"I thought senior could only draw guns, swords, knives and the like."

Zhu Nianqiao looked at Lin Yao, and after exclaiming how cute she was, she continued, "Sure enough, senior sister still has a girlish heart... Oh, so, maybe senior sister always thinks I'm cute!"

"How dare you say that."

Lin Yao rolled her eyes.

"Of course, I think senior sister is very cute!" Zhu Nianqiao patted Yimapingchuan's chest and said energetically.

"I thank you."

"No~"

"Stop playing tricks! Let me tell you about the features of this game."

"oh……"

the other side.

Zhong Xiu glanced at the two of them, smiled, then turned his head and left, preparing to announce the logo of "Sword and Sword".

Lin Yao spent nearly an hour explaining to Zhu Nianqiao the core gameplay of the Pokémon series.

Then he sent her away.

As for the specific production, the planning book after completing the mechanism is completely to teach the game step by step.

She doesn't need to say much.

"..."

Lin Yao watched Zhu Nianqiao leave excitedly and stretched herself.

At this time.

Holding a stack of documents, Mu Wanqing brushed past Zhu Nianqiao, then came to Lin Yao, and asked curiously: "Lin Yao, what did you say to Zhu Nianqiao just now, she kept talking about cute cute……"

"A new game."

Lin Yao replied, then turned around and picked up some flawed Pokémon illustrations on the table, raised her hands and showed them to Mu Wanqing: "Here."

"……I see."

Mu Wanqing glanced at the illustration, then stared at Lin Yao's face, and nodded slightly.

"I always feel that you misunderstood something..."

Lin Yao put down the illustration and sighed: "Forget it...Miss Mu, I'm so nervous."

"Host?"

Mu Wanqing asked.

"Um."

Lin Yao nodded.

"..."

Mu Wanqing smiled lightly, then put down the documents in her arms, grabbed Lin Yao's wrist, pulled her up, hugged her tightly, and said firmly: "It will definitely succeed!"

"...I hope."

Lin Yao put her face on Mu Wanqing's shoulder and smiled.

... By the way, Ms. Mu's neck is so white.

Lin Yao stared at Mu Wanqing's fair and slender neck, her attention was suddenly diverted.

Still nervous, but much better.

...

that day.

Forest Studio's one-month hosting marketing.

A turning point has come.

Linmu Studio announced a new logo on the official account of social media.

And this logo is familiar to many players.

The three words 'knife and sword' slowly emerged, and then the swords crossed, appearing in the background of the three words...

It was the game that was specially promoted last summer——

"Knife and Sword"!

As soon as this logo animation came out, the debate about what Linmu Studio was doing stopped abruptly.

A game that has already landed on the PC side and the Vaporwave game platform, announcing the logo at this time is no longer a hint.

It's a statement!

The game needs to be launched on other platforms!

What other platforms are there besides the host!

Stone Hammer!

Completely hammered!

Linmu Studio has been marketing for a long time, and deliberately released the logo every day to create a sense of momentum and anticipation. On this day, it reached its peak.

can't believe it.

Suspect.

Then wait until you're sure you're not mistaken.

And with that comes ecstasy.

Lin Yao's previous worries were completely unnecessary.

Players' expectations have been raised very high, even those players who do not believe that Linmu Studio will be a host.

In fact, deep down, I also have a little thought.

Because they are Forest Studio.

What if the hosts are also different?

Therefore, after the announcement of the "Sword and Sword" logo, the sense of anticipation lingering in the players' hearts is the pavement for Linmu Studio during this period.

It was detonated directly.

"Ahh! I said it was the host! Linmu Studio is cheating!"

"Really the host?"

"Really? Why did the previous "Battlefield" and "Tomb Raider" land on other hosts... I feel like a blood loss."

"Wait, these logos are games? Doesn't that mean that there are so many logos in front of them, all of which are new games!? For thirty days, a game is announced every day... Damn, I'm suddenly looking forward to it."

"The Stone Hammer game is over, the opening title with a smack must be the console! What kind of console is it!? [excited]."

"How much is the mainframe? I couldn't resist buying Reflecta zodiac 1 before. If Linmu Studio's mainframe is too expensive, I can't afford it (crying)."

"After more than 20 days of laying the groundwork, the stone hammer is finally here... After laying the groundwork for a long time, I'm so looking forward to it!"

"Hurry up and announce soon! I hope it won't disappoint!"

"Lin Yao, everyone has guessed it! Announce it! Let us know what kind of host Kangkang is!"

"..."

Players are excited.

Everyone has guessed it, or Lin Yao will announce the mainframe now.

Of course, Lin Yao couldn't announce it now.

Just feel relieved.

And at the same time.

sky fox.

A certain person in charge of the marketing department, who was packing up and was about to leave, also got the news before leaving Tianhu.

He glanced at his mobile phone, then at the location of Li Guangsheng's office, and sighed.

This is Linmu Studio.

It's not that everyone doesn't work hard.

But the other party spends too much time...

Now look at the player's reaction.

Even if the other party sells a piece of garbage next month, there are probably many players who are willing to buy it.

Thinking of this, the former head of the marketing department of Tianhu sighed again, hugged his things, turned and left Tianhu...
