Lin Yao looked a little strange when she saw the faces of the three people in charge.
"...No, it's nothing."
The three leaders sitting at the conference table straightened their backs subconsciously.
They looked at the thick pile of information on the table again and were in awe.
What kind of game is this?
So exaggerated.
Lin Yao saw that they were unwilling to say anything and did not force it.
She pulled up a chair and sat down, then handed out the planning document for the first game and looked at one of the people in charge: "Let me talk about Breath of the Wild that Shao Qisheng is responsible for first. It may take a little long... The other two are willing to listen.
Of course, but if something happens, you can deal with it first and I will inform you later."
The other two people in charge looked at each other, then looked at the large pile of information, and immediately stood up.
It feels like it will take a long time...
It's better to deal with your own affairs first.
They patted the person in charge named Shao Qisheng on the shoulder and turned around to go out.
After Lin Yao waited for them to leave, she looked back at Shao Qisheng, whose face turned pale again for some reason, and slowly spoke...
Next.
Lin Yao stayed in the conference room all afternoon.
This is not over yet.
the next day.
Lin Yao came to the conference room again.
Although there are only three games.
But it is quite troublesome to clearly explain the core fun of the three games and answer the questions of the people in charge.
Although.
What Lin Yao wants to say is basically mentioned in the planning book under the supplementary mechanism. Even if it is not there, if the planning book is followed and the people in charge are not messy, they can still produce the same work.
But Lin Yao still feels that in the early stages of game development, it is important to clearly explain to them the core selling points and fun of the game.
This not only allows them to avoid detours at the beginning, but also allows the person in charge of the project team to clearly know what kind of game they are making.
In this way, Lin Yao won't have to invest too much energy in watching one-on-one later.
In addition, there is another very important point.
Although the planning book under the supplementary mechanism is almost equivalent to a step-by-step tutorial on how to make a game, it is very convenient and can greatly speed up the production progress.
After all, the most difficult planning stage of the game and how to implement it have given specific plans.
But for the staff, it is a kind of strangulation to a certain extent, and even makes them feel strong frustration...
Therefore, Lin Yao hopes that they can know clearly what kind of game they are making and have a clear understanding of it.
It would be better if I could learn something from her previous works.
Last time, Lin Yao was ready to open the Greenlight Project to the studio.
She quite hopes that more staff will be involved in the coming days.
Gain experience first.
Then move forward slowly.
Finally, like Chen Qiuwen, he came up with an interesting and feasible large-scale project.
As for this kind of planning, while Lin Yao was still there, he could help with his experience and system assistance.
Her ultimate wish is of course that everyone in Linmu Studio is like a dragon.
Although she knew that the possibility of this wish coming true was not high...
But it would be better if everyone has the desire to improve and has channels for improvement.
So it's quite tiring.
But Lin Yao was still willing to explain the core selling points and fun of these games to the person in charge of the console game department first.
…
After half a day of hard work yesterday and half a day in the morning.
finally.
Lin Yao met the last person in charge and talked about the last game.
"Boss, are you saying that in this FPS game, killing enemies is not the most important means of victory...?"
The person in charge of the "Splatoon" project team is an old employee.
His name is Dong Qiang. He participated in the production of "Breakout" and was later transferred to Battle.
Royale participated in the development of the chicken game.
During the summer special promotions, he also found time to participate in the development of "Plants vs. Zombies."
The qualifications in Linmu Studio are considered very old.
It can be said that I have accompanied the rise of Linmu Studio and weathered the ups and downs together.
For such a person, if outsiders have never seen him or heard his resume, they will think that he is not over fifty, so he must be thirty or forty years old, right?
But the reality is that Dong Qiang is only 27 this year...
This young man is under thirty.
And let’s talk about why he was able to join Linmu Studio.
It's also quite fantastic.
When he just graduated and Linmu Studio was recruiting people, he directly submitted an analysis report of nearly 20,000 words, analyzing Linmu Studio's "Fantasy OL" and the domestic game industry...
No resume.
Just an analysis report.
Then I added a sentence at the end.
I want to join Linmu Studio.
And Mu Wanqing is also the axis.
It was so long that I finished reading the analysis report.
Then I made a special call to inquire about the unclear points in the other party's analysis report.
After confirming that it was written by the other party, she told Lin Yao and invited the other party in.
Since then, Dong Qiang has been staying at Linmu Studio, shining in various project teams...
However, this Dong Qiang didn't even submit his resume when he was hired. Instead, he just threw out an analysis report and said he wanted to join the company. It seemed crazy.
In reality, he is not the kind of person who is so crazy.
Not only is he not crazy.
Also very polite.
Such as this meeting.
It's obviously a shooting game.
Lin Yao flatly said that killing the enemy is not the most important means of victory, which is really confusing.
In particular, Dong Qiang also participated in "Breakout" and "Battle"
Royale" production of two ace shooting online games owned by Linmu Studio...
So when he heard Lin Yao's first words, everyone was confused.
But after he was temporarily absent-minded, he did not object. Instead, after confirming with Lin Yao that he was right, he humbly asked what he should do in this FPS, which does not regard killing enemies as the most important means of victory.
A face filled with curiosity for knowledge.
Seeing his appearance, Lin Yao also smiled and quickly got to the point: "The reason why I say this is because the weapons in this game do not shoot bullets, but paints. Do you understand? And these paints
The first one is dyeing, and the second one is attack."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Pigment!?"
When Dong Qiang heard Lin Yao's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he showed a thoughtful expression.
"Well, the player is not like playing a character in ordinary FPS, but has two forms! They are human form and squid form. There is nothing much to say about the human form, but it can shoot, while the squid form can sneak on the ground.
The area is the area with paint, including the wall. This is the first difference between this game and ordinary FPS. Players have two forms, the human form is responsible for attacking, and the squid form is responsible for avoiding."
Lin Yao continued: "And if the player is in the enemy's paint area, the movement speed will be greatly slowed down.
Therefore, players in the game need to spray paint to attack the opponent on the one hand, and on the other hand, they must constantly spray paint to wash the ground and create favorable passages."
"The core selling point of this game is leisure and fun, as well as a certain degree of strategy. For example, the PVP battle method of this game is called the smear mode. The final victory condition is evaluated by the coverage of the camp's paint, and the killing
The number of enemies doesn’t matter.”
Lin Yao picked up the setting diagram she drew and showed it to Dong Qiang: "The biggest advantage of this kind of gameplay is that it has a low threshold. Casual players or players who don't like killing enemies can also use it. For example, they can fight with teammates.
Washing the floor can greatly increase the fun of casual players...
In addition, if you are a domestic player, you should also know that the control method of the controller is a disaster for players who have not grown up from childhood to play shooting games. This game is a clean stream specially designed for consoles.
Even if you can't aim at people accurately and the player sprays the tunnel, you can still have a lot of fun. This is the original design intention of this game. We can put aside the weak performance of the host and not pursue blockbuster-like FPS, but find another way!"
"……I see."
Dong Qiang showed an expression of understanding, and his eyes became brighter.
And next.
Lin Yao paired it with illustrations and began to introduce the game's mechanics and various subsystems to her in detail.
And this is not difficult to understand.
Because every time Lin Yao talks, she can find illustrations to complete the shortcomings of the words.
Following Lin Yao's narration.
soon.
A unique shooting game gradually took shape in Dong Qiang's mind...
As the concept gradually becomes clearer.
He also became more and more excited.
This game is suitable for all ages...
This is a game style that balances cuteness and coolness...
So interesting.
This game feels so fun!
"That's probably it."
Lin Yao explained the core selling points of the game in detail, and after briefly introducing the game mechanics, she stopped and looked at Dong Qiang: "How about it, do you understand?"
"……Understood."
Dong Qiang nodded vigorously.
Lin Yao breathed a sigh of relief and finally got it done.
"That's good, come on, if you have any questions, you can always come to me."
…
Half an hour later.
Founder Building.
Fourteenth floor.
Dong Qiang returned to his seat with a stack of information in his arms.
After the excitement caused by the fun of the new game gradually faded away.
He became a little absent-minded and sat back in his seat, still thinking about the game Lin Yao mentioned just now.
As a staff member, he has been deeply involved in the production of Linmu Studio's two ace shooting games.
The shooting game called "Splatoon" that Lin Yao just mentioned has undoubtedly subverted all his previous views and experiences on shooting games.
Dong Qiang originally felt that he already knew enough about the shooting game genre.
While sighing that the game proposed by Yu Lin Yao was interesting,
On the one hand, I can’t help but have some self-doubt...
Why can't I think of such an interesting game...
"Sure enough, it's still far from enough."
Dong Qiang sighed, dispelled his self-doubt, straightened up and cheered up.
Since it's still far away.
Then learn slowly.
For example, this "Splatoon" is completely different from ordinary shooting games.
I guess I can learn a lot by making this game.
While cheering himself up, Dong Qiang opened the plan book he had brought up and started reading.
originally.
He just planned to go through it casually first.
But as soon as he opened the planning book, he was shocked.
This planning document is also... too detailed!
The further he looked back, the more frightened he became.
This planning book... even has the shape and data of every weapon in the game written down!
Such as a submachine gun.
There is not only an introduction to average performance, but also data, and even a page number at the bottom.
Dong Qiang looked at the page number and pulled out the illustration.
It was discovered that it was the original painting of a submachine gun.
Such a planning document.
Don't say it's him.
He is probably a fool. As long as the people under his control don't pull too hard, he can make it according to the gourd.
There is no difficulty at all.
This is... too exaggerated!
Dong Qiang looked at the planning document on the table, thought of the young boss who just explained to him, and opened his mouth slightly.
After a while.
He smiled bitterly and murmured to himself: "This is too outrageous. Is the gap that big..."
but.
Since there is such a detailed planning document, why does the boss waste time talking to himself about the core selling points and ideas of the game?
Dong Qiang sighed something outrageous, and then suddenly felt a little strange.
He looked at the detailed planning document and thought of Lin Yao's expression when he introduced the game to him in the conference room just now.
Sighed again.
It soon became clear.
Presumably... Lin Yao also knew that the plan was too detailed and might offend the person in charge.
So I specially told them the core selling points of the game, the specific ideas, and why I did this beforehand...
She hopes that the person in charge can have a general understanding of the game before reading the planning book, so that the frustration will not be so strong. She also hopes that the person in charge can think more during the production process without copying the gourd, and start from
Learn something in middle school...
When Dong Qiang thought of this, he suddenly felt blessed and turned to the end of the planning book.
really.
Later, there will be an introduction to the core selling points of the game, the audience, the fun of gameplay, etc. that Lin Yao just mentioned.
Although it is not as detailed as the game-related content earlier in the planning book.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But it can be seen that Lin Yao really wants to let them understand why the game does this...
Instead of asking them not to think about anything, just do it...
"Depend on……"
Dong Qiang looked at the handwritten words on the last page of the plan and was really moved.
Such a genius boss with unreasonable abilities, without any arrogance, is even willing to take care of their emotions, and also wants to make them progress...
It's really...a rare thing.
Lin Mu Studio is now very large, with employees coming and going.
People come and go every day.
But in this environment where you can go or stay at will.
In the entire Linmu Studio, the professionalism of the staff has not only not decreased, but has even become higher...
This is something that many Lin Yao colleagues cannot figure out.
Dong Qiang had also wondered before why there were more and more awesome people.
why.
Now that he saw the last page of the plan, he vaguely understood.
Maybe it's because Lin Mu Studio has a boss who is convincing in every aspect...
"Work hard."
Dong Qiang closed the planning book, took a deep breath, and then opened the first page again, preparing to read it carefully.
Anyway.
We must first make this unique game tailor-made for the Linmu Studio console!
You are still far behind, you can learn by doing.
But you can't let her down.
Dong Qiang opened the planning book again and began to read it carefully.
Then.
I don’t know if I was inspired by Lin Yao’s words.
Still inspired by the special gameplay of the game "Splatoon".
Or maybe it's a blessing.
In short.
Turn over and over.
Dong Qiang suddenly had an idea——
Speaking of special FPS.
The feeling of anti-terrorism is also very different from ordinary gun battles. Is it... that there is also a beginning?
…
at the same time.
In the conference room.
Lin Yao didn't know that Dong Qiang had come up with the idea of making a counter-terrorism FPS game.
Otherwise, you will definitely be shocked...
After lying on the conference table for a while, she stretched and felt relaxed.
Now the preparation phase is finally over.
Next, Linmu Studio, this little giant ship, will work at full capacity to produce games.
During this period, you will definitely encounter trouble.
After all, console and PC are two different things.
The most important thing is that the Linmu Studio console is very different from the consoles on the market.
But it doesn't matter.
Next, just solve them one by one according to the specific situation.
Lin Yao stood there, went through the game once, and made sure that she had not missed anything, then turned and left the conference room.
"...So you are here?"
As soon as Lin Yao went out, she bumped into Zhong Xiu.
Zhong Xiu saw Lin Yao and handed her a piece of information: "This is the discount range for our first-party games during the summer special promotion. See if it's feasible."
Lin Yao took it and took a look.
In addition to the recently released "The Witch".
Other games are on top.
The discount range is directly proportional to the release time.
The longer it is on sale, the greater the discount.
The numbers above are all reasonable.
Lin Yao didn't find any problem and handed it back to Zhong Xiu: "That's it, it's good."
"Well, then I'm ready to launch the event."
"good."
"Also, I watched a few games from the console game department and they were really interesting."
"Ah That's good."
"It just feels a bit pity. I may not have the chance to make the next big movie for a while."
"What? Are you still a PC party?"
Lin Yao saw Zhong Xiu's expression of emotion and teased him.
"No, I am a graphics enthusiast." Zhong Xiu said seriously: "But the performance of our host is too weak! Otherwise, I will definitely convince you to make a masterpiece like "The Witch"!"
"Breath of the Wild is not bad, it is also a masterpiece."
"That's cartoon style!"
"Okay... there will be a chance for this in the future, just wait."
Lin Yao didn't expect Zhong Xiu to be such a party member, and she couldn't help laughing.
"Okay! I'm looking forward to it!"
Zhong Xiu usually wouldn't comment on Lin Yao's strategies, so he didn't bother and left after chatting for a few words.
Lin Yao watched him leave and was about to return to her place.
The phone rang again.
She picked up the phone and looked at it...it was Zhang Jianghu's number.
