There is new progress in the Vaporwave gaming platform.
Lin Yao immediately put down the half-written plan and turned her attention to the difficulty and progress of the game transplant.
Two games from the Vaporwave gaming platform will be ported this time, one is called "Move, Mouse" and the other is called "The Hunt".
Lin Yao has played them all, because in order to transplant his own games, Bushnell sent a new console, which also included a complete set of development kits.
Among them, "Hunter" can be classified easily. It is an action game, and the plot is also very simple. It is a cliché story about the protagonist's revenge. There are not many ups and downs, just one line.
The protagonist finally gets his revenge, and then it's over.
But "Onward, Maus" is more complicated.
Mainly because it is difficult to classify.
When Lin Yao plays, it feels like playing a mystery game, because the game is from a third-person perspective, and the player plays the role of a policeman who needs to decrypt, solve cases, and investigate.
But, those murder scenes don't look like they were committed by ordinary people.
It's very weird.
Then the game also has some shooting elements. At the same time, the game is also an open world. Players can interact with residents in a small town and take on some new tasks to investigate.
But the more I investigate, the more something is wrong.
In the end, there is even something mysterious involved. The more you know, the more abnormal the protagonist becomes, until he completely falls into madness.
Very familiar, right?
Lin Yao felt very familiar...
Isn't this the most common routine of Cthulhu...
So it’s really hard to classify.
But the game is really good. Although Lin Yao has no interest in horror games, she is a bit timid.
But I still played it in the end, because this game does not have direct scary scenes, but is more about side effects. Each case in it is also well designed, and there is a hidden main line that connects the cases.
If the investigation is not in-depth, the murderer will eventually point to ordinary people, and the ending of the game will also be a hypocritical ending. The protagonist will leave a remote town where it rains all year round, and hazy, a huge figure in the rain curtain is watching the protagonist go away...
But if the investigation goes deeper, the protagonist will go crazy and eventually become one of the muddle-headed residents of the town.
Quite interesting.
It was precisely because she had played them that Lin Yao said she wanted these two exclusive games to be available on the Vaporwave gaming platform.
It is actually not difficult to port two games, and there is no technical difficulty.
Although there are no good commercial engines on the market now, Linmu Studio’s Blue Star engine has not been officially released to the public.
But if you really want a transplant, it can basically be done in three months. If you really want it quickly and are willing to invest resources, the time can be even shorter.
After hearing that Linmu Studio was willing to support this time, the producer of "The Hunt" directly handed over the game to Linmu Studio for porting. Because the producer of this game is limited in size and has no experience on the PC side,
no way.
However, "Forward, Mouse" has not yet given an official reply.
"Can it be done in a month?"
Lin Yao stood behind Zhong Xiu, looked at "The Hunt" running on the host platform, and asked.
"It's definitely possible. If most of the experienced members of the engine team are deployed to port the game, it won't be slow. It can even be faster."
Zhong Xiu nodded and gave a clear answer: "But you are more optimistic about "Move, Mouse", right? If that game is not developed and released simultaneously, you will be so anxious to transfer most of the engine team
There is no point in coming out anymore.”
"Yes, but the people over there are tangled up in it. They say they have no experience and they don't want to let us do the transplant. It's very troublesome."
Lin Yao was a little helpless: "Why do they think I am so anxious? Isn't it because the Vaporwave game platform is so popular now? The summer special promotion has just ended, and many players are still playing "Plants vs. Zombies". At this time, two masterpieces have been released.
It’s very eye-catching, and it’s for their own good.”
"Why don't you be tougher? Just tell the other party that they will either transplant the PC version themselves in a month, or they will transplant it for us. Otherwise, they will not need it and let them find another home." Zhong Xiu mentioned it in a joking tone.
a suggestion.
"..."
When Lin Yao heard this, she didn't take it as a joke. Instead, she thought about it carefully and said, "Okay, let's just say it like this."
Zhong Xiu was a little surprised: "Is that really what you said?"
Lin Yao explained helplessly: "I'm really anxious. I managed to attract so many "Plants vs. Zombies" players with the 'Summer Special Promotion'. It would be a pity not to convert them. Besides, those who want to force us
The major European and American manufacturers that have lowered their share ratios are watching, but I still hope to take a dominant position."
"……I see."
Zhong Xiu thought about it after hearing this, and felt it made sense, so he didn't mention it again.
But soon, new doubts emerged. He said a little strangely: "But, Lin Yao, I feel that those big European and American manufacturers are quite unreasonable. We built the statistical function just to let them see the Vaporwave game."
The potential of the platform, they should also know that the biggest benefit is to put the game on the shelves now, right? The summer special promotion has just ended, and there are many users. Even if they are not satisfied with the share, why can't they test the waters first? Why do they have to fight to the end? "
"who knows."
Lin Yao sighed and said: "Maybe it's because if the test results are good, we will take the lead in the future and it won't be easy to change. Of course, it may be that they are full..."
Zhong Xiu: "..."
…
Either the PC version will be made within a month, or the porting will be handed over to Linmu Studio.
Linmu Studio suddenly made a strong statement.
This directly caused many people within Connection, the producer of "Move On, Mouse" to shout that they had been deceived, sparking another controversy.
But Lindsay Hart finally chose to compromise.
After all, it would be okay if you didn't accept the opportunity that you finally got. But now that the opportunity is gone after you accept it, most people really can't accept it.
He is willing to hand over the game to Linmu Studio for porting.
However, Lindsay Hart chose to compromise in the face of Linmu Studio's tough attitude, which also caused him and Chris to break up on bad terms again.
Chris thinks he is so spineless!
You can do it yourself but you have to leave it to someone else to transplant!
In short, noisy.
On the other side of the Pacific, Frank, the president of Gibber Company, was very proud.
Gibber Company, a world-renowned interactive entertainment software company, is mainly engaged in the development, publishing and sales of various electronic games.
To put it simply, he is Lin Yao's colleague.
They have recently launched three masterpieces, with themes including shooting, rugby, and racing. Among them, the rugby-themed game was sold out on the day it was unlocked.
Game stores are running out of inventory.
influenced by.
Gibb's stock price soared.
Of course he has reason to be proud.
"Hawkins, it turns out that our games can sell very well even without an online market."
Frank, the president of Gilbert Company, poured whiskey into the crystal glass and said to the hands-free mobile phone: "So you have to calm down, my friend, the Vaporwave gaming platform is indeed good, but for us it is just a channel.
We have a more practical purpose."
"Frank, of course I can keep my composure. I don't need you to teach me. I'm not calling you about putting the game on Vaporwave. I'm just asking you, when will you submit your request?"
Hawkins on the other end of the phone said in a low voice, sounding a little unhappy.
Of course I'm not happy.
Because Hawkins on the other end of the phone is the president of another North American video game company, and is a direct competitor of Frank's Gilbert Company, similar to EA and Activision in Lin Yao's previous life.
Although an alliance was formed this time.
But when I should be upset, I am still upset.
When Frank heard the tone of his old rival, he didn't mind. Instead, he slowly picked up the cup. After thinking for a moment, he said: "It's almost done. When that studio gets anxious and comes to talk to us again, we will bring up the Blue Star engine."
