The E-Sports Festival qualifiers have officially begun.
After the ten-day qualifying round.
It’s the main game.
Because there are many events in the entire e-sports festival, and the competition rules of each event are completely different, the ten days are actually quite tense.
But Nie Hui is confident.
His branch office is confident.
Lin Yao didn't say anything and let them do it.
She didn't have much involvement in the competition.
Now Lin Yao's work focus is almost entirely on the console.
During this time.
In addition to stuffing Easter eggs into the E-Sports Festival promotional video, it once again caused a wave of discussion.
Linmu Studio has released more than a dozen game logos one after another.
These are all new works.
There are first-party works by Linmu Studio, and there are also third-party works by Greenlight Production Team.
For example, the production team that produced "Journey" was one of the first developers to receive the switch development kit.
Their new work will be launched on Linmu Studio's host, and they have signed a very strict confidentiality agreement.
Forget about the host.
Even the games produced cannot be revealed.
Therefore, this also leads to the fact that none of the game logos announced by Linmu Studio are recognized by players.
But in the past ten days or so, these unfamiliar game logos have almost been exhausted.
Soon, some game logos that players will recognize at a glance will be announced.
This also means that the host will be announced...
Lin Yao was actually quite nervous.
Most of the studio has been running continuously for so long, and Lin Yao has spent so much thought on it, plus the investment of Linmu Financial Holdings.
If the host fails.
The consequences would be unimaginable.
Not only was Linmu Studio’s investment in vain, but also many of Linmu Financial Holdings’ investments were in vain.
In order to transform, Linmu Financial Holdings has sold off all the high-quality land on hand, cut down some unnecessary industries as much as possible, and then built factories aggressively to produce mainframes for Linmu Studio.
If it fails.
Linmu Studio’s vitality has been severely damaged, and Linmu Financial Holdings will face the dilemma of direct bankruptcy.
After all, although it has sold off high-quality land to pay off some loans, the debt ratio of Linmu Financial Holdings is still very high.
The investment in the entire hosting project is too great.
It cannot be compared by making two or three games.
What a failure.
It is estimated that Lin Yao will sell the headquarters building under construction, and then run online games for a few years to help Linmu Financial Holdings pay off its debts...
So at this moment, if you say you're not nervous, that's a lie.
Lin Yao was very nervous. She just hugged Mu Wanqing and said she was nervous...
But at this time, being nervous is of no use...
"Get ready to announce it."
Lin Yao sat in her seat and breathed a sigh of relief: "Just announce the game logo of "Knives and Swords"."
Zhong Xiu nodded solemnly: "Okay."
Knife and Sword is a game launched during a special promotion last summer.
This game has already been released.
Announcement at this time is almost equivalent to a stone hammer.
"You don't have to worry too much. I'm very excited after seeing our host. You've spent so much time laying the groundwork. It will definitely be a great success."
Zhong Xiu thought for a while and comforted Lin Yao.
He could see that Lin Yao was a little nervous.
"Um."
Lin Yao nodded, then looked at Zhu Nianqiao who was aside, picked up the planning book he made after the E-Sports Festival promotional video was released, and handed it to her.
Zhu Nianqiao took it with some doubts.
"Let the production team of "Mario Kart" be responsible for the new game."
Lin Yao explained: "We cannot think about the failure of the console, but we must think about the fact that after the console is released, there will be new games for players to play every once in a while. This is the first planning document, and there will be more in the future. You guys
From now on, the console product department will be responsible for the production of console games, and Zhong Xiu will be responsible for games with dual-end login or porting."
"I see."
Zhu Nianqiao nodded, and while opening the planning book, asked: "What is the name of this new game?"
"Pokémon, Pokémon."
Lin Yao named it, and then explained: "The initial performance of this game may not be very good, but this kind of gameplay that is suitable for all ages is very suitable for promotion. I plan to make it a long-term game, so you can enjoy it."
The popularity of Pokémon is due to twenty years of savings, coupled with strong later promotion, some opportunities, and the animation became popular all over the world.
Lin Yao didn't have high expectations for the first game's popularity.
This is also the reason why she doesn't consider the Pokémon game as a game.
but.
The four most classic core gameplays of Pokémon collection, training, exchange, and battle, coupled with the painting style that is suitable for all ages, allow all different players to find different fun.
The potential is huge.
So Lin Yao immediately thought of making a work to test the waters.
The Pokémon game Lin Yao chose this time is the ninth generation’s “Pokémon Legends: Arceus.”
This is the latest work of Pokémon from Lin Yao's previous life, and it is also the one that Lin Yao remembers most clearly.
"Wow...so cute."
the other side.
Zhu Nianqiao turned to a certain illustration, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly started browsing.
Each and every cute Pokémon appears on the paper.
See half of it.
Zhu Nianqiao raised his head and looked at Lin Yao with shining eyes.
"..."
Lin Yao met Zhu Nianqiao's gaze and smiled, didn't she have a fan?
Facts prove.
Although there is no accumulation.
But this kind of game does have an audience.
"I thought the senior sister could only draw guns, swords, knives and the like."
Zhu Nianqiao looked at Lin Yao, and after sighing about my cuteness, he continued: "Sure enough, senior sister still has a girlish heart... Oh, let's put it this way, maybe senior sister always thinks I'm cute!"
"You really dare to say that."
Lin Yao rolled her eyes.
"Of course, I think senior sister is very cute!" Zhu Nianqiao patted Yima Pingchuan's chest and said full of energy.
"I thank you."
"No need~"
"Stop playing tricks! Let me tell you about the characteristics of this game."
"oh……"
the other side.
Zhong Xiu glanced at the two of them, smiled, then turned around and left to prepare to announce the logo of "Knives and Swords".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lin Yao spent nearly an hour explaining clearly to Zhu Nianqiao the core gameplay of the Pokémon series.
Then he sent her away.
As for the specific production and the planning document after completing the mechanism, it is completely a step-by-step guide to the game.
She didn't need to say more.
"..."
Lin Yao stretched out as she watched Zhu Nianqiao leave excitedly.
At this time.
Mu Wanqing held a stack of information and passed by Zhu Nianqiao. Then she came to Lin Yao and asked with some curiosity: "Lin Yao, what did you say to Zhu Nianqiao just now? She kept saying "cute" all the time.
cute……"
"A new game."
Lin Yao replied, then turned around and picked up a few flawed Pokémon illustrations on the table, raised her hands and showed them to Mu Wanqing: "Here."
"……I see."
Mu Wanqing glanced at the illustration, then stared at Lin Yao's face and nodded lightly.
"I always feel that you have misunderstood something..."
Lin Yao put down the illustration and sighed: "Forget it...Miss Mu, I'm so nervous."
"Host?"
Mu Wanqing asked.
"Um."
Lin Yao nodded.
"..."
Mu Wanqing smiled softly, then put down the information in her arms, held Lin Yao's wrist, pulled her up, hugged her, and said firmly: "It will definitely succeed!"
"…I hope so."
Lin Yao put her face on Mu Wanqing's shoulder and smiled.
...By the way, Miss Mu’s neck is very white.
Lin Yao stared at Mu Wan's fair and slender neck, and her attention was suddenly diverted.
Although I am still nervous, I am much better.
…
that day.
One-month hosting marketing by Linmu Studio.
A turning point was reached.
Linmu Studio announced a new logo on its official social media account.
And this logo is recognized by many players.
The three words "knife and sword" slowly emerged, and then the swords crossed and appeared in the background of the three words...
It’s the game that was on special promotion last summer——
"Knives and Swords"!
As soon as this logo animation came out, the debate about what Linmu Studio was doing came to an abrupt end.
For a game that has already been launched on PC and Vaporwave game platform, releasing the logo at this time is no longer a hint.
It’s clear!
The game needs to be launched on other platforms!
So besides the host, what other platforms do you have?
Hammered!
Totally hammered!
Linmu Studio has been marketing for a long time and has carefully planned to publish the logo every day to create a sense of momentum and anticipation. On this day, it reached its peak.
Can't believe it.
Suspect.
Then wait until you are sure that you have read it correctly.
What follows is ecstasy.
Lin Yao's previous worries were completely unnecessary.
Players' expectations have been raised very high, even those who don't believe that Linmu Studio will make a console.
In fact, deep down in my heart, I miss you a little bit.
Because they are Linmu Studio.
What if the hosts are also different?
Therefore, after the "Knife and Sword" logo was announced, the sense of expectation that lingered in the hearts of players was the foreshadowing of Linmu Studio during this period.
It was directly detonated.
"Ahh! I just said it was the host! Linmu Studio is hiding the truth!"
"Really the host?"
"Really? Then why did the previous "Battlefield" and "Tomb Raider" have to be launched on other consoles...it feels like a loss."
"Wait a minute, these logos are games? Doesn't that mean that all those logos are new games!? For thirty days, a game was announced every day... Damn, I'm suddenly so excited."
"It's a Stone Hammer game. The snapping sound in the opening credits must be the console! What kind of console is it!? [Excited]."
"How much does the console cost? I couldn't help but buy Reflecta zodiac 1 before. If Lin Mu Studio's console is too expensive, I won't be able to afford it (crying)."
"After more than 20 days of preparation, it's finally over... It's been a long time of preparation, I'm so looking forward to it!"
"Announce it soon! I hope it won't disappoint!"
"Lin Yao, everyone has guessed it! Announce it! Let us know what kind of host Kangkang is!"
"..."
Players are excited.
Everyone had guessed it, otherwise Lin Yao would reveal the host now.
Of course, Lin Yao cannot announce it now.
I just felt relieved.
And at the same time.
Sky Fox.
A certain person in charge of the marketing department who was packing his things and preparing to leave also learned the news before leaving Tianhu.
He looked at his cell phone, then at the location of Li Guangsheng's office, and sighed.
This is Linmu Studio.
It’s not that everyone doesn’t work hard.
But the other party spends too much time...
Now look at the players' reactions.
Even if the other party sells a piece of junk next month, there will probably be many players willing to buy it.
The former head of marketing department of Tianhu thought of this, sighed again, hugged his things, turned and left Tianhu...
