There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning - Chapter 687

Chapter 687 The production work of the PC department is over

It’s alright to come here, why did it end up like this after staying in Linmu Studio for a while?

Lin Yao is quite curious to be honest.

But she doesn’t have time for now.

Although I really want to ask what happened to my cheap daddy.

But considering that both Lin Xi and Mu Wanqing are in his office… It is probably not a big deal that they didn’t look for him.

The same goes for asking around lunch time.

Holding this idea.

Lin Yao just glanced at it from a distance, then left.

And Lin Bing didn’t notice that his little daughter was looking at him from the smoking room just now.

He’s still wondering… why games make so much money.

The real estate in this peak period is not as exaggerated as Linmu Studio.

Yesterday’s foundry and mobile phone, although he doesn’t really understand, but at least he has an idea.

Because there were similar companies in China before, Jiaming Alliance has always been a giant in China, and the market for foundries is even broader.

He basically has dealt with.

But the game company… because of the invisible generation gap, he really doesn’t understand.

So it hit him the hardest.

What magic power does this company have, what magic power does my youngest daughter have…

Lin Bing snuffed out the burnt cigarette **** in his hand.

At this time, a new staff member opened the door and came in to smoke, probably because Lin Bing was a new face in this layer, and the other party took a few more glances at him.

And Lin Bing also noticed the other party’s gaze and looked over.

When you see the badge on the neck of the staff.

Lin Bing thought of something, looked down at his chest, then stood up suddenly, intending to take a look…

the other side.

Lin Yao temporarily left her cheap father behind, came to the PC department, and found Zhong Xiu.

As soon as Zhong Xiu saw Lin Yao, he smiled and asked, “I heard that your father is here?”

“Well, I will introduce you later.”

Lin Yao responded, without hiding it: “The main thing is to let him get acquainted, and then he will need to control Linmu Studio…Of course, he is only in charge of the general strategy of the administration, and he will not interfere with the specific product work.

In product-related development work, you still have great autonomy, and you don’t have to be responsible to others. You just need to determine which products to invest your energy and time in, and how to make the products well. ”

“…”

Zhong Xiu sighed: “I see…”

“Okay, let’s talk about your situation.”

Lin Yao noticed the disappointed expression on Zhong Xiu’s face, but didn’t say anything.

Instead, he smiled lightly and changed the subject.

“The first version of the online mode of “Modern Scrolls” has completed all the testing work, and it will be launched soon.”

Zhong corrected his positive expression: “The new events and new vehicles that are scheduled to be released at the end of the year are under production. On the other hand… it is confirmed that “Bloodline” and “Minecraft” announced at the Forest Carnival have also completed all production work. Currently In testing phase…”

He began to introduce the recent situation of the PC department to Lin Yao.

The main projects involved are basically announced before or at the carnival.

Lin Yao listened quietly, only occasionally asking a few questions.

Because there is not much problem overall.

Linmu Studio has three major product departments, the most mature one being the PC department.

Because it was established the earliest and has the most experience.

“I’ll clear the new game later, and I’ll let you know if I encounter any problems.”

Lin Yao clapped her hands and ended the conversation.

“Um…”

Zhong Xiu glanced at his screen, pulled away from the working state again, and sighed again.

“Why are you sighing?”

Lin Yao finally asked, a little funny.

Zhong Xiu sighed, and half-jokingly, half-seriously said: “The backbone is about to leave, although I have made good mental preparations, but when things come to an end, I still feel a little melancholy.”

Lin Yao asked back: “Don’t you have confidence in yourself? Without me, you really can’t make a good game?”

“No, although it does have something to do with it…”

Zhong Xiu looked at Lin Yao: “But Lin Yao…you don’t think that your importance in Linmu Studio is only reflected in the production level?”

“Otherwise?” Lin Yao asked with a smile.

“Forget it, you are sometimes blank…”

Zhong Xiu looked at Lin Yao who seemed to really think so, waved his hand helplessly, and complained about her.

It’s really the same as before.

Not changed at all.

“I’m still the boss.” Lin Yao was amused and reminded him.

“Then you look at this.”

Zhong Xiu didn’t mind, but thought of something, and handed her a piece of information on the desktop: “Boss!”

Lin Yao glanced at the information he handed over, took it with some doubts, and then flipped through it.

This is a… proposal.

But not from the PC division, but from the console division.

It was also written by the staff of the “Splatoon” project team of the host department.

And the proposal begins.

The initiator explained the origin of this project.

Simply put.

He was inspired by the special gameplay of the game “Splatoon”, and came up with the idea of ​​making an FPS with a special theme.

Although there are quite a few FPS under Linmu Studio, whether it is an online game or a stand-alone player.

But he still submitted the proposal.

And the FPS with the special theme mentioned in this plan… is anti-terrorism.

The initiator of the project feels that there is a big difference between ordinary gun battles and anti-terrorism.

Especially when terrorists guard the room.

When the other party needs to attack.

It will be very interesting for both sides to fight wits and courage in the box-like building.

Originally he had only a vague idea.

But recently, “BattleRoyale” in the PC department is linked with “Titanfall”, and he is also obsessed with this game.

And played the chicken game “BattleRoyale”, and experienced the house war in it.

He made up his mind…

Lin Yao skimmed through the proposal, and couldn’t help but smile slightly: “Is this written by the staff of the host department?”

“Hmm… His name is Dong Qiang. I chatted with him and Zhu Nianqiao for a while. Both of them felt that the current version of the switch function could not achieve the effect in the proposal, and then handed it over to me.”

Zhong Xiu nodded, then asked: “What do you think?”

“…Good.”

Lin Yao handed back the proposal and gave a simple evaluation.

“That’s it, no more?”

Zhong Xiu joked: “You should give me some advice anyway.”

Lin Yao hurriedly asked: “Don’t you have no judgment? Or don’t you have confidence?”

“…I have, but I was just about to ask.”

Zhong Xiu put down the proposal in his hand, and asked helplessly: “Lin Yao, aren’t you afraid that we will mess around? The production process has been greatly changed, and our product department has been given great autonomy. You must know that Linmu Studio can leave At this point, it is well-known among the player community, and it can be said that it is all your hard work.

It is not difficult to destroy it, maybe it only takes a few more messes, and the golden signboard of Linmu Studio will suffer a devastating blow.

You don’t even ask about the projects after the love letter project, are you really not afraid that we will mess around and make a pile of shit? ”

Zhong Xiu said while looking at the planning book beside him.

Lin Yao said directly: “Do you think I don’t play games?”

Zhong Xiu was stunned.

“No matter what kind of game you guys play, I will play it.”

Lin Yao explained with a smile: “No matter where you are, I will start with the works you make as soon as possible. Even if I am in Linmu Studio, I play more games than most players in a year. You don’t think that you I can’t see it, can I?”

“Also, you don’t think I won’t spray you like players when you mess around, do you?”

“And I’m ready… Do you remember Fantasy Online? How did this game become a success? Remember?”

“Don’t forget, I’m also a player… How about it, is this stressful?”

“…”

Zhong Xiu was stunned for a long time when he heard Lin Yao’s words, and then choked out two words: “Yes.”

“That’s it.”

Lin Yao smiled brightly: “Why don’t I make any comments? Apart from trusting you, I also want to keep some mystery. I hope that when the game is released, I will play it…and be pleasantly surprised.”

“Don’t you think that’s funny? I play the Forest Woods game myself and it’s a pleasant ‘wow’.”

Lin Yao pointed to herself.

Zhong Xiu looked at Lin Yao and imagined such a scene, and a smile appeared on his face when he thought of Lin Yao playing a game and “wow”.

“…really.”

“Really? So go ahead and do it!”

Lin Yao glanced at his expression, and continued: “As for the rebellion, I believe that you and the staff… should be more unwilling to smash this signboard than I am.”

Say it.

She waved her hand and left the PC department.

Zhong Xiu watched Lin Yao leave, scratched his head, then looked back at the anti-terrorist FPS plan on the table, and couldn’t help but smile again.

Lin Yao as a player…

For the internal staff, perhaps there is nothing more motivating than surprising Lin Yao.

…Like another type of love letter?

Ha ha.

“After the carnival, make this!”

Thinking of this, Zhong Xiu picked up the proposal book again, read it through, and made up his mind.

But before that.

He needs to practice oral broadcasting.

For this year’s Forest Carnival, let’s start by amazing the players!

So far.

The production work before the carnival of the PC department… also came to an end.

…

at the same time.

After Lin Bing briefly explained to Lin Xi, he wandered around Linmu Studio alone.

He is not conspicuous.

Because the company structure of Linmu Studio is relatively scattered.

It is normal for the staff of major project teams and even departments to run around.

Linmu Studio has no restrictions on this aspect.

After all, the staff who have seen Lin Bing are a minority.

So Lin Bing ran around without attracting much attention at all, and no one asked him what he was doing, at most they just looked at him a few times.

Lin Bing was able to observe the operation of the company freely as a bystander.

He went to the host product department and saw three staff members gathered together to play games.

He went to watch for a while.

It was a cartoon-style game called “Splatoon”.

Originally, Lin Bing thought they were fishing.

But taking a closer look, they are not purely playing games, but discussing “celebrations”, “new Christmas maps”, “new weapons” while playing…

After discussing a good idea.

They looked very excited.

Soon, they put down the handle and called more staff.

Lin Bing stood nearby, listening to a group of staff discussing celebrations and Christmas maps like a bible.

Can’t understand anything.

He knew that in less than an hour, a rough floor plan was drawn, and there were two original manuscripts of firearms…

And the whiteboard was pulled over at some point… A large group of staff looked at the freshly released floor plan and the original firearms, and began to comment.

The plan is constantly changing and improving.

Is this a little game?

Seeing this, Lin Bing was a little puzzled, hesitated for a moment, took out his mobile phone and searched for this game called “Splatoon”.

Then.

When the sales figure of 13 million came into view.

Lin Bing was silent.

Each copy of the game sold for more than two hundred, and 13 million copies were sold.

This is a simple math problem…

It is because it is too simple.

So this simple math problem, combined with the scene in front of me, looks very shocking.

Lin Bing put away his mobile phone, finally looked at getting better and better, and even started to discuss the announcement of the Christmas map, the staff who responded to the players turned and left silently.

Next.

He wandered into the PC department again.

The games on each staff computer seem to be different.

This is his biggest feeling.

And soon.

The scene where the staff gathered caught his attention again.

He couldn’t help leaning forward.

“It’s weird…”

“Indeed, it’s too weird to play FPS like this.”

Lean over.

Lin Bing discovered that all the staff members were surrounded by one person, and the surrounded staff member was sitting and playing games.

But you can see it.

This does not appear to be a finished game.

Because some pictures are very inconsistent, some walls are not even colored.

“It’s a tradition to mess around in limited-time events! Don’t you guys have a lot of fun in Lin Yao’s “Gun Fighting”? What’s wrong with me playing hide-and-seek in FPS!”

The staff member who was playing the game heard the ridicule of his colleagues around him, and immediately retorted: “And isn’t it good to be weird? Don’t you think it’s interesting, one side plays the role of hiding items on the map, and the other side plays the role of soldiers to find them?” , the highlight is the asymmetric confrontation!”

“When will it be live?”

A staff member heard what the other party said and asked a question.

“E-sports festival, it will be launched as a limited time event for the New Year.”

The staff member turned his head: “Let the players relax during the Chinese New Year, do you want to join?”

“Okay, count me in.”

“Count me in, it’s weird, but funny…”

“Let’s see… I can join too! The new version of “World of Warcraft” is ending, and the project team doesn’t need so many people.”

“Fill in the form first! Don’t let me go by saying that the original project is busy… By the way, what do you think of calling Lin Yao over to take a look?”

“Go to the group and send a message, she seems to have just gone to the mobile game department.”

“I’ll come, I’ll come!”

“…”

A group of people began to discuss with great interest how to hide and seek on the FPS.

Lin Bing listened silently.

Still don’t understand.

But he can still read the expressions on their faces.

very excited.

And the three sentences are inseparable from the player’s reaction when the time comes.

Lin Bing took out his mobile phone and silently searched for the game they were discussing—”Breakout”.

There is no sales data for this game online.

Because it is an online game.

But he saw an old news article.

When “World of Warcraft” was launched, a third-party organization predicted that the game’s performance would be comparable to “Breakout”.

At that time, the annual income of “Breakout” was estimated by a third-party organization – around 2 billion.

Lin Bing: “…”

He left silently again.

And then.

He came to the mobile game department.

This time, no staff gathered.

He also met the department head of the first forest studio.

Kang Yi was holding FutureS2 and scratching his head. While scratching his head, he asked, “Is there really a bug? I tried so many times and it didn’t come out… How did the players find out?”

“I do not know.”

The staff spread their hands: “But I tried it once, and it does exist.”

“Okay, I’ll go to the Kaishan Research Institute and ask them to help, and then we’ll fix it as soon as possible.”

Say it.

Kang Yi stood up and hurried to the door.

this time.

Lin Bing is already mentally prepared.

He took out his mobile phone and searched for the mobile game they were discussing – “Climb to the Top”.

Then, he saw an even more exaggerated number…

He was numb.

Then, he went to Kaishan Research Institute and then to the operation department.

Kaishan Research Institute.

He saw the laptop, which was still in the secrecy stage.

He was also recognized for the first time.

Because Zhang Youjie is in Kaishan Research Institute…

And in the operations department.

He learned about the two events of ‘Forest Carnival’ and ‘Forest E-sports Festival’, because the staff has already started preparing the publicity plan for the Forest Carnival.

And for the first time, he saw the players’ enthusiasm for Linmu Studio through the Internet.

【When will this year’s carnival be announced! ? 】

【Will Lin Yao show up this year! ? 】

【Predict the content of this year’s Forest Carnival! 】

【Hope that this year, Linmu Studio can also surprise me! 】

【”Modern Scrolls” online mode will be launched soon! 】

【…】

Various posts dazzled Lin Bing.

It’s all about Woods Studio.

In addition to discussing the upcoming upcoming carnival, the annual highlight of Forest Studio, players also discuss games.

Lin Bing just searched for several games, whether they are console games, PC games, or mobile games, they are all among them.

And besides these, there are many… games that he doesn’t understand at all.

World of Warcraft, Modern Scrolls, Heroes, DOTA, Titanfall…

The popularity of these games is not even worse than the game he just searched for.

Lin Bing: “…”

He put away the phone again.

Then silently returned to Lin Yao’s office.

Lin Xi was sitting in his sister’s seat, using his mobile phone to handle some simple tasks.

Hear the sound of the door opening.

He raised his head, looked at Lin Bing, and asked, “Are you done shopping? How do you feel?”

Lin Bing didn’t rush to answer, but pulled the chair and sat down, and then replied helplessly: “…I feel like I’ve spent most of my life in vain.”

“Pfft… well, I feel that way sometimes too.”

Lin Xi tried his best not to laugh, and replied in agreement.

Lin Bing couldn’t care about being laughed at by his daughter, hesitated for a moment, and couldn’t help asking: “Xiaoxi, Linmu Studio… how many users, or players?”

“Ah, you can ask Xiao Yao.”

Lin Xi thought for a while after hearing the words, and replied: “But she probably doesn’t have a definite answer, and the data is cold, you can see it for yourself.”

“See for yourself? If you say player forum, I’ve already seen it…”

“The current situation of the forum is uncertain.”

Lin Xi put down his phone and interrupted him: “The Forest Carnival is coming soon, you can go to the scene, go to the forum, and go to the live broadcast room to watch it.

You won’t get any data, but you should get an answer…a real answer. At that time, you will know how many players Linmu Studio has. ”

Lin Bing: “…”
