After thinking about it, Lin Yao finally decided to put aside VR-related ideas for the time being and focus on the operation of the switch console first.

She found the relevant person in charge and began to discuss the release sequence of the game in the second half of the year.

And after a simple discussion with the person in charge.

finally.

Lin Yao determined the strategy of announcing and selling Switch console games first.

As for why you should do this.

On the one hand, there are currently four works in the PC product department, two of which are being produced by first-party studios, and the progress is relatively slow, while the production progress of the console department is much faster.

On the other hand, console sales have now exceeded 20 million, which means that the installed base has exceeded 20 million. The huge number of new players will inevitably bring more diverse game demands.

The Vaporwave game platform has a unique advantage in this regard. Even if there are game types that Linmu Studio does not have, there are other developers developing corresponding game types, giving players more choices.

But the switch is different. Currently, due to its form and performance, the first-party games from Linmu Studio are still the ones that can best support the scene.

At this time, the diverse game demands brought by the huge number of new players can only be met by Linmu Studio.

Of course, Lin Yao does not have the courage to say that he can satisfy all players.

But after the release of the switch, the main game styles are very distinctive, and most players should already have a good understanding of what the switch can bring to them.

Most players are probably still satisfied.

The first game in the second half of the year is "Kirby".

The main focus is 'cute', 'childlike' and 'simple'!

Well, this sounds a lot like "Super Mario Odyssey", but it's actually quite different.

The Mario IP is so special. It has been more than thirty years and still has a huge influence. Almost every orthodox sequel can bring new experiences to players, and almost every time, it is a great success.

.

In the game history of Lin Yao's previous life, such an evergreen tree was really, really rare.

in addition.

Mario is the leader of Nintendo and the most famous IP in the FC era after the collapse of Atari. Even if there is a ban on game consoles in China, many domestic players have played "Super Mario" through Super Mario Bros.

This is true domestically, let alone other areas.

The feeling of "Super Mario Odyssey" coupled with its own super high quality is really not what "Kirby" can beat...

For example, Lin Yao herself was actually exposed to a lot of games when she was a child, but she had very little exposure to consoles.

But even so, she was playing "Super Mario Odyssey" City State, and according to the mission, she found musicians to prepare for the celebration, and then when the classic Super Mario BGM played, she couldn't help but smile knowingly, and she felt happy.

However, it was born.

And when the celebration started, the song of Mario's ex-girlfriend Pauline sounded. With all the citizens cheering, 2D Mario never stopped smiling when he reappeared in the festive atmosphere.

Even before this, she had to go back to the sewer level seven or eight times because of her hand disability, and the joystick was stained with sweat, but it still did not prevent her from feeling joyful and happy because of her emotions and the game.

That was really an incredible experience...

This is also the reason why Lin Yao is not in a hurry to make "Super Mario Odyssey", because it is really difficult to recreate that feeling, which is created by the player's memory and the excellent game quality.

But "Kirby" has no such problem.

Although this series is not too young and has been around for thirty years, it is indeed not as well-known as Nintendo’s flagship Mario. Moreover, except for the earlier games, most of the related games are of good quality, but they are basically not as good as Kirby’s.

Emojis are famous...

Until, "Kirby: Discovery" appeared.

This game also focuses on the small garden like Odyssey. Of course, it is not as big as Odyssey, but its characteristics are distinctive enough.

That’s fun! Family fun! Simple fun that everyone can experience!

What's this?

This is the soul of a child!

It’s perfect to let this game take the lead.

…

August 20th.

The popularity of Linmu Studio’s promotional video has gradually subsided.

And at this point in time.

The operating companies behind Game Player, Gibb Corporation and Dream Kingdom, like Linmu Studio, have released a high-profile game lineup for the second half of the year that will be launched on Game Player on the Game Player platform...

And the way they announced the game lineup was also a mixed edit...

It’s just compared to the comparison of Linmu Studio’s game lineup in the first half of the year and the second half of the year.

The promotional videos of these two game companies are even more crude.

Burning! Bloodline and excitement! This is the main tone.

Along with the rap, various game scenes appeared one by one.

What about blasting, shooting, drag racing, sprinting, shooting, and even swearing.

This is another way of publicity, and the effect is actually very good.

After all, gamers, especially stand-alone gamers, are mainly male.

And these things are really easy to poke at male players.

So very quickly.

The joint publicity between Gibber Company and Dreamland has achieved very good results.

The players had just calmed down their sense of expectation when they turned around and were pulled back by Dreamland and Gibber Company.

Many players are worried about their wallets.

I also began to feel that this may be the most luxurious year in the history of gaming...

After all, the switch was released at the beginning of the year, and a bunch of escort masterpieces were enough to leave a mark in the history of gaming. But in the second half of the year, platform disputes caused the respective operators of the Game Player and Vaporwave game platforms to show their talents, crazy drawings, and releases

A bunch of new works have been published, and it looks like they are going to fight it out at the end of the year.

This is really too luxurious...

certainly.

Many players also feel the smell of gunpowder.

The storm is coming!

Next half of the year! There will be great shows to watch!

Um.

Just when the players think so.

Linmu Studio is moving again.

But it has nothing to do with the Vaporwave gaming platform. They just sent out news that the installed base of switch has officially exceeded 20 million!

And to celebrate this good news.

Linmu Studio released a promotional video, saying that in order to celebrate that the installed base of its console exceeded 20 million, it would officially launch the first game for the console in the second half of the year!

Then.

Players see the promotional video.

The feeling that the storm was coming was gone in an instant...

…

The beginning of the promotional video.

The first thing that catches your eye is the iconic cartoon rendering style of the first-party Switch masterpiece.

In a dilapidated shopping mall, moss and grass cover every corner.

Abandoned cities, dilapidated environments, rusty neon signs. In addition, there is only monotonous white noise in the background... If it weren't for the cartoon rendering style, some people would probably believe it was "Dark Souls".

but.

These images lasted less than ten seconds.

As the camera switches.

The sound of waves sounded, and on a beach, a cute pink ball-like creature made a cute "um" and climbed up from the sand, then rubbed its eyes and looked forward.

The perspective switches immediately.

Then the music started.

The relaxing music with a strong feeling of "the adventure is about to begin", along with the slowly zooming out camera, instantly changed the style of the painting.

Kirby started running forward.
To be continued...
