The secretary nodded with a complicated expression.
"A game from Linmu Studio?" Zhang Jianghu asked again.
The secretary nodded again.
When Zhang Jianghu heard this, his expression became complicated.
Not just overseas.
The popularity of Reflecta hosts in China has been even more affected...
Because the domestic stand-alone market is not that big in the first place, and compared to online games, it is even pitifully small.
It has improved somewhat during this time.
But many potential stand-alone users are users of the Vaporwave platform...
Users of the Vaporwave platform obviously trust Linmu Studio more, and the game announced by Linmu Studio is indeed eye-catching and eye-catching.
In comparison, Reflecta is still the same theme that many major game companies have done before.
The popularity of their console and escort masterpieces will decline, and it is normal for players to turn their attention to Linmu Studio's new games.
But Zhang Jianghu doesn’t think so.
When he heard the news, his first thought was... as for that?
When Lin Yao hung up the phone directly, he knew that the other party was angry.
But there’s no need... we really rush to launch a stand-alone game to compete with Reflecta, right?
As for that?
Zhang Jianghu was a little dissatisfied.
He really didn't believe it was such a coincidence. Reflecta's console was about to be released, and the other party also happened to have a new game to be released...
He felt that the most likely reason was that Lin Yao was expressing her dissatisfaction and forcibly postponed her original plan to log in to Reflecta.
Zodiac
1 game, and then used the influence of the Vaporwave platform to put pressure on him.
But why bother?
Reflecta is now taking advantage of the general trend and is about to be released, and the other two overseas console manufacturers cannot stop it.
Can Linmu Studio be able to stop it?
Yes, Linmu Studio is using the Vaporwave platform to steal away some of the popularity, but it will soon pass. After all, it is just a game, and in the end players will not come back to pay attention to the console.
Why should you be upset?
"...Okay, I understand. You go out and find the person in charge of the publicity department. We will work harder on publicity in the last two days."
Zhang Jianghu shook his head, then withdrew his thoughts, looked up at the secretary, and said.
The secretary opened his mouth, hesitating a little, as if he wanted to say something.
But in the end he didn't say anything, but turned around and walked out of the office.
Zhang Jianghu watched the secretary leave, then turned to look at the screen and opened the Vaporwave game platform.
Until now.
Zhang Jianghu hasn’t even seen the game promotional video from Linmu Studio.
When he heard the news, he immediately called his secretary to report...
Now I finally have time.
He planned to take a look.
Open the witch's store page and click on the promotional video.
Zhang Jianghu leaned back in his chair, ready to take a closer look at what kind of game Linmu Studio was rushing to launch to compete with Reflecta.
The promotional video is just three minutes long.
Soon, it was over.
And when I saw half of it.
Zhang Jianghu's spine left the back of the chair, with a look of shock on his face.
…
Although Zhang Jianghu is very confident.
But the situation did not develop as he imagined.
Lin Mu Studio's new work did not steal the momentary popularity, but... stole all the popularity.
At least in the country, it stole all the popularity.
And the trend is getting more and more intense.
Mainly because Lin Yao really...understands players so well.
After she determined that players were interested in the steampunk style, she immediately released more setting pictures. They were not game setting pictures. The game was still for sale. Releasing more information now was not worth the gain.
But she can choose to draw some new steampunk style pictures by herself.
So very quickly.
Lin Yao released a bunch of steampunk style setting pictures.
There are transmission control mechanisms composed of complex gears, machines full of rough and crazy aesthetics, weapons with violent aesthetics, and black technology that combines machines and people, and allows backwardness and advancedness to coexist.
Because there is electricity in "The Witch", it slightly affects the performance of steampunk style.
After all, simple electrical signals can transmit various complex instructions over long distances to control machines. In this case, using bulky and complex gear linkages to transmit instructions will look very stupid...
Lin Yao released so many setting pictures this time, it can be regarded as making amends on the sidelines.
As for the effect.
very good.
The pictures released by Lin Yao are an eye-opener for players.
The coexistence of backwardness and advancedness is full of imagination.
After reading these pictures.
Stand-alone gamers are increasingly looking forward to Linmu Studio's so-called steampunk style work.
At one point, I even left a message saying that I would die without playing "The Witch"...
After all, there is no game like "The Witch" in the world, its temperament is really too special.
In comparison.
Reflecta's escort masterpieces have all been eclipsed, and have even been labeled as being seriously homogenized.
At least, compared with "The Witch", their escort masterpiece is really a bit sorry for the escort masterpiece...
On the other hand.
Leave aside the settings.
The promotional video for "The Witch" is also very well done. As the first game in China to use real-life film and television stars for motion capture, both the storyboarding and the atmosphere creation are great.
Although it only lasts a few minutes, it creates a very strong sense of suspense.
The actors' expressions are just like real people, but they have an unspeakable temperament.
Many players are deeply impressed by the artists who appeared in the promotional video.
Especially the male protagonist and the female character who appears at the end.
In Lin Yao's previous life, she was particularly impressed by a CG called...Cavalry on the Dragon's Back.
I believe many people are deeply impressed by the white hair inside.
The promotional video for "The Witch" received the same CG treatment as the cavalry on the back of a dragon in Lin Yao's previous life the day after it was released.
It started going viral.
Many players who do not play games have seen relevant screenshots and dynamic signature files on forums that are not related to the game.
The cavalry on the dragon's back is to make a virtual character deeply rooted in people's hearts.
In "The Witch", the live-action motion capture actors attracted attention.
The person who felt the deepest about this was Zhang Seng.
Although he was an artist before, he has never been famous...
So everything you do is just like being transparent.
The kind who takes the bus to the company to check in every day and no one notices.
But today.
When he took the bus to the company.
But he found that there were seven or eight eyes turning on him...
Finally, someone who didn't know where he had seen CG but didn't know it was a game promotional video asked him if he had participated in a CG movie and what the movie was called...
Zhang Seng was stunned, and it took him a long time to react. He was so dumbfounded that the other party explained that it was a game promotional video.
When he heard what he said, the person who asked him if he was participating in the movie didn't react at all. The other people who didn't say anything but kept looking at him became excited. They gathered around him and asked him about the game he was participating in.
Is her name called Witch?
After getting a definite answer.
These people started asking for details about the game.
Monk Zhang was directly attacked on the bus...
He looked confused and said several times that he had signed a confidentiality agreement and couldn't talk about it, but those people still asked and refused to let him get off the bus.
In the end, Zhang Seng let go with a loud roar, managed to squeeze out of the car, and escaped.
"Damn...as for that!?"
Zhang Monk watched the bus leave and complained, feeling a little outrageous.
He has also seen the promotional video. Although he himself participated in the performance, he was still amazed when he saw the finished product.
But...it doesn't have to be like this, right? I'm just a motion capture actor!
