The second batch of promotional videos for the game have just been released.
The official page of the host and the homepages of stores in various countries and regions have launched relevant advertisements at the same time, starting to warm up.
The most eye-catching ones are of course the three first-party masterpieces of forestry.
"Pokémon Legend", "ARMS", "Dark Souls".
These three games have separate full-version introduction pages.
The previous two games have already given background stories and related settings.
For example, the story of Pokémon, according to disclosed information, takes place in an area called Sinnoh, also known as Xicui.
In this area, in addition to humans, there are also creatures called Pokémon.
They are not harmonious with humans, and many humans think they are beasts with mysterious powers.
The purpose of the player is to investigate the Sinnoh region while subduing these beasts with mysterious powers, and finally unlock the secrets of Arceus who created the entire Sinnoh region and even the entire Pokémon world...
This is the basic setting of the game "Pokémon Legend: Arceus", and it is also the reason why the suffix "Arceus" is followed by "Pokémon Legend".
At the same time, in addition to the background story, Linmu Studio also released the first batch of ten Pokémon from the first generation on the page.
Including Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Green Caterpillar, Unicorn...and the special Pikachu.
The "ARMS" page also provides relevant background settings.
ARSM is an ability that allows the user's arms to curl up like springs.
And because the number of people with ARMS abilities has been increasing, accounting for 20% of the population, ordinary people don't think people with abilities are strange, but regard them as idols.
The fighting competition unfolds based on this background story...
In this game, players will engage in boxing battles in a fixed scene. Up to four characters can fight together in one game.
Because of the special nature of this game's setting.
On the introduction page, Linmu Studio spent a lot of time introducing that the game can use the console's Joy-Con controller to control characters.
To put it simply, players can punch in reality to control the arms of the game character.
at the same time.
The first five fighters for the game were also announced on the page.
They are Face, Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, Ninja Man and Twin Ponytail Superstar.
Each character is colorful and unique.
Very eye-catching.
but.
The third game, "Dark Souls", doesn't have many cards... not only does it not have an official release date, but there is only one picture on the entire introduction page.
The main body of the picture is a building.
The upper part is a Gothic spire, and the lower part is a typical Baroque style. It is the magnificent royal city in the game.
In front of the royal city, a man wearing heavy armor and holding a sword and shield turned his back to the camera and looked up at the front.
Not far away, a sword was stuck on the bonfire, but there was no open flame in the bonfire, only the charcoal fire left after burning firewood.
【The Abandoned City of the Gods】
【The fire will go out】
Two lines of text plus a dynamic picture, and it’s gone…
In addition to these three games, other third-party games also have independent introduction pages.
But after reading the introductions of these three games, the players couldn't wait any longer and went directly to the forum to start discussions.
"Awesome!! One masterpiece every month! There are also a bunch of third-party masterpieces that look very interesting! Who just said that the game is barren! Barang Tiao Mao!"
"Prepare money... In addition, I also want to ask, where is the buddy who just said he was afraid of a game shortage?"
"Here, here, stop talking, I've placed an order for the console. But I have to wait. Damn it, why is it out of stock?"
"It's probably due to the influence of the Spring Festival. I guess it will take a while. In addition, although "Mario Kart" and "Splatoon" can be played for a year now, I am still very happy to have new games. Linmu Studio, really from
Will not disappoint!”
"..."
This way.
Players are still discussing the problem of game shortage.
And more players have begun to discuss the types of the three first-party masterpieces announced by Linmu Studio.
Although it’s a glimpse, the game looks really interesting!
"Pokémon Legend" has Pokémon that are cute and naive. It's hard to say they are tough, but women and children really have no resistance when they see them.
There are many female players in the current game market, and there are actually games suitable for female players, but the ones that dominate are always male players.
This means that many games suitable for female players are not easy to find.
As for the Switch console, the four works released with the console all focus on cute styles!
So this leads to a lot of female players on the Switch console.
They really liked Switc***’s cute painting style, and “Pokémon Legends: Arceus” hit the spot.
As for male players... I haven't played "Pokémon Legends: Arceus" yet, so it's hard to say, but there will be "ARMS" in the future!
Fighting, boxing, somatosensory manipulation!
Plus colorful, unique fighters with different weapons.
It directly plucked the male player's masculine strings.
Realistic boxing! Boxing can also be done in games! It sounds very exciting!
It can be said.
Two masterpieces plus a bunch of third-party masterpieces can satisfy the expectations of most players.
As for unsatisfied players...
And there's a third game, the half-hidden Dark Souls!
"It's so creative. I thought so when I played "1-2switch". Sure enough, "ARMS" is coming again. I'm really looking forward to it."
"The painting style is so cute, both games are the same! I don't know why, but I don't object to such pictures now. I am a macho guy who really wants to play "Pokémon"!"
"Yes, Linmu Studio has really changed me. If I saw such a promotional video on the PC platform, I might have just passed it, but I don't know why, but when I saw such a promotional video on the switch, I suddenly felt...
Once it’s stable, I want to pay immediately.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Maybe it's because I played "Mario Kart", "Splatoon", and "The Legend of Zelda". It's really fun."
"By the way, don't you care about the last game? The style is completely different!"
"Yes, but I don't know what the situation is...Uncle Lin said before that the work that will succeed "The Legend of Zelda" should be this one, right?"
"Gothic castle, knights wearing heavy armor and holding cold weapons, it must be... I'm really looking forward to it, another Zelda!"
"It feels like Linmu Studio is intentionally moving the console's game style closer to the cute direction and focusing on gameplay. But on the other hand, they don't seem to be planning to give up the traditional games they are good at. The last exposed "Dark Soul" is the evidence, but
…
With games like "Dark Souls" now available on Switch, has Linmu Studio forgotten the Vaporwave game platform? Has it forgotten us PC players?"
"..."
Most of the players are looking forward to and optimistic about the game announced by Linmu Studio this time.
However, some players are worried that Linmu Studio will now focus entirely on the console, causing it to ignore the Vaporwave game platform and neglect PC players.
After all, many gamers still want to play traditional masterpieces produced by Linmu Studio.
But soon.
The worries of these players disappeared...
Because with the launch of the switch introduction page, a promotional page for "Dark Soul" also appeared on the Vaporwave game platform!
This is a double-login game!
And with the launch of the PC promotion page of "Dark Souls", the mysterious Uncle Lin came out to break the news again...
…
Lin Yao has never forgotten the Vaporwave gaming platform.
The store page of switch is called Vaporwave, but with a plus sign at the end.
But the names of the two are the same, but the game libraries are not shared.
no way.
The hardware of the switch host is really different from that of the PC...
As for switch-exclusive games... all major console manufacturers are still following the exclusive gameplay.
Lin Yao couldn't change it for the time being.
Players can understand it too.
But understanding is understanding.
Watching the launch of one game after another on the switch.
The PC platform seems to have been forgotten by Lin Yao.
There are still some players who are dissatisfied.
The Vaporwave game platform has a huge game lineup. It is true that most of the games for the switch console are specially designed for the console, but Linmu Studio also has a way of making traditional masterpieces!
Even many players who have purchased a switch console are actually looking forward to Linmu Studio's dual-player development.
Not only does it make console games, Vaporwave doesn't fall behind either.
And now.
Their wish came true...
at the same time.
A new post on the forum also officially revealed to many players the current structure of Linmu Studio’s internal departments.
The person who posted this post is none other than 'Uncle Lin'...
[Linmu Studio is now divided into two game departments, the console game department and the PC game department. The former is mainly responsible for the development of console games. Because Lin Yao’s current focus is on the console department, it has always been console games during this period.
But Lin Yao has never forgotten the players on the PC side. This time, "Dark Soul" is being written by Linmu Studio's prestigious PC department! The production team is still the same team as the previous "Witch"! The console game is ported
!And the chief producer of the game is still Lin Yao!
In addition, I heard, I heard, this game was prepared by Lin Yao to make up for PC players! The purpose is to allow both console players and PC players to experience the wonderful journey of "The Legend of Zelda"!】
This is a shocking post.
Not only did it tell the composition of Linmu Studio, but also which production team is currently in charge of "Dark Souls".
It seems very feasible.
So after this post came out.
In an instant, a thousand waves were stirred up...
The number of consoles currently sold is still limited, and Linmu Studio has been working on the PC side before. Even console players, as mentioned above, do not mean that they do not expect Linmu Studio to be able to operate in parallel.
And this will see "Dark Souls" dual-end login, and many PC players will be very happy.
Because Linmu Studio has not forgotten them!
And saw this revelation.
They were immediately ecstatic...
Because many players who have not purchased a console have long been eager for "The Legend of Zelda"... After all, people are really talking about it during this period.
Not only domestically, but also overseas.
They want to play too.
"Really? Really? Really?"
“PC gamers rejoice!”
"The production team of "The Witch"!! No wonder double login, it turns out to be like this!"
"Chief Producer Lin Yao! I suddenly feel that Pokémon and ARMS are no longer popular. What should I do?"
"Console players also expressed ecstasy! Finally, they can play Linmu Studio's stand-alone game again!"
"Console and PC players are equally ecstatic! What kind of continent will Linmu Studio create this time [looking forward to it]!"
"Linmu Studio is really good at making games with this theme! I believe in the original poster! Finally, you can play 'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild' on PC!"
"..."
All kinds of players are having fun together under this post.
Everyone is happy.
And it’s not just players who read this post...
Linmu Studio.
Chen Qiuwen was sitting in his seat, originally wanting to pay attention to the feedback on the game's promotional video.
But as soon as he opened the forum, he saw this post.
Then.
He clicked on it and looked through it. When he saw the reply that he could finally play "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" on PC, he fell silent.
The guy who posted this... is trying to trick all console and PC players into it!
Something that even Lin Yao didn’t dare to do!
With just one piece of news, all the players were involved! Who is this master...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!...
Chen Qiuwen looked at this post and felt angry and funny.
After hesitating for a while.
He still picked up the phone and found Lin Yao.
This revelation was well-founded and the production team responsible was accurately named.
But my judgment on the shape of the game was terribly wrong...
It can be said that there are nine truths and one falsehood.
Players who don’t know the truth are completely convinced.
It seems that the influence is getting bigger and bigger.
Chen Qiuwen felt that it was necessary to tell Lin Yao.
soon.
Lin Yao also learned the news.
She was also stunned.
Although she also has some evil intentions and wants to hide the true game form of "Dark Soul".
But she always just thought about it, thinking that at most she could change the focus of the promotional video... to mislead the players a little bit.
Let the players feel the malice...
As for the promotion being in the same vein as "The Legend of Zelda", forget it internally, players will be scolded if they really take it seriously...
but.
Everything she didn't dare to do, the 'Uncle Lin' who posted the message did it for her directly...
Now that Linmu Studio has done nothing, players have begun to have preconceptions. Even if Lin Yao releases the dark and depressing side of the game in the future, it is estimated that many players will still think that this game is the spiritual sequel to Zelda...
"What should I do?"
Chen Qiuwen saw Lin Yao's expression and spread his hands with a look of helplessness.
"What should I do...what can I do? Please explain."
Lin Yao was a bit dumbfounded: "When the official large-scale announcement is made, we will focus on the difficulty and mention that the story will be darker. As for whether players believe it or not, it depends on the players. We can't just leave everything before the game is ready.
Now that all the settings have been announced, there won’t be any suspense about the game. Also, when I see it, do you want to open a trial?”
"What about this player?"
Chen Qiuwen pointed to his mobile phone screen.
"Ask for your own blessings."
Lin Yao shook her head in amusement.
"...Can we confirm who leaked the secret?"
Chen Qiuwen asked curiously: "I suddenly want to meet him..."
"No, there are quite a lot of people in the outsourcing team, and the people we contacted are from your team. It's not surprising that we can guess the production team. The scope is too big, so we can only tell the person in charge of the outsourcing team."
Lin Yao replied: "But the other party did not leak any specific game information. In fact, anyone who is willing to find out this information about the composition of the game department and the production team responsible for production. We told the people in the outsourcing team to investigate strictly, but we felt that it was too much to start a fight.
Well... I can only ask Miss Mu to give you a little reminder, it will be too troublesome to find someone."
Hearing this, Chen Qiuwen nodded slowly.
"but."
Lin Yao paused and suddenly smiled: "The outsourcing team should have received the reference pictures we sent to reflect the game style. I don't know what this 'Uncle Lin' will think when he sees it. After all, that
It's nothing like "The Legend of Zelda"..."
Chen Qiuwen: "..."
…
at the same time.
Magic City.
Yika Art Studio.
A man with long flowing hair and full of artistic flair, about thirty years old, held the mouse and looked at the overwhelming number of "Uncle Lin" titles on the forum.
Smiled and nodded.
His name is Wang Ang, he is a game original artist and a loyal fan of Linmu Studio.
The Yika Art Studio where he works is one of the best art outsourcing companies in the country. After the expansion of Linmu Studio, some art resources needed to be outsourced, and this studio was the first one that came to mind.
It was also at that time that Wang Ang came into contact with Lin Mu Studio's varied art styles for the first time.
Because the games produced by Linmu Studio are very complex, almost all genres are taken into account.
So every time they outsource, the reference pictures their Yika Art Studio receives are different...
The only thing they have in common is that each reference picture is very unique.
This made Wang Ang a little curious, and since he already liked games, he focused on Linmu Studio.
It doesn't matter if you pay attention to it. Once you pay attention to it, you will fall into the trap...
The first Linmu Studio game he played was "Witch". This game had very few outsourced materials because it was produced with motion capture, but the unique art style still fascinated him.
He went all the way to buy the game.
Then he was even more shocked.
Surprisingly...it can combine so many elements so perfectly!
Really amazing!
From now on.
He became a fan of Linmu Studio.
He has played almost every game released by Linmu Studio since then.
Some Linmu Studios have outsourced games, and some have not, but no matter which game it is, Wang Ang likes it very much.
And after "The Legend of Zelda" came out.
This game has directly become Wang Ang’s favorite game, bar none!
He praised this game to his friends countless times, and after completing it, he was very eager for Linmu Studio to produce a sequel.
Originally, this was just his wishful thinking.
but.
Just at the end of last year, the person in charge of the studio revealed during a casual chat that Linmu Studio was going to make a new work again, and it was estimated that it would be outsourced to Yika Studio. The studio would be very busy next year.
It also revealed the art style of Linmu Studio's next game - Western Fantasy.
And this sentence.
It directly makes Wang Ang...ecstatic!
Western fantasy style! New work!
"The Legend of Zelda" is a masterpiece, and it's really hard not to think of a sequel.
As Zelda plays, one can imagine Wang Ang's excitement.
that day.
He went to the forum to break the news.
At that time, he didn't dare to say too much, because the news he broke at the time was secondary. He mainly wanted to share his joy, and he didn't dare to directly say that it was a sequel to "The Legend of Zelda".
Because Linmu Studio didn't say anything.
Until... the new year comes.
The outsourcing contract is officially signed.
His superiors also revealed more information.
The fact that it was not a sequel to "The Legend of Zelda" did make Wang Ang a little disappointed, but the Western fantasy style still made him look forward to it, and he also got a big piece of news from his leader.
The person responsible for the production of the new game this time is the production team of the previous "Witch"! And the chief producer is Lin Yao!
"Witch"! Linmu Studio's first perfect-scoring work!
CGN, which gave Zelda a 6.9, gave it a 10-point rating!
How can you not expect this?
Today, Linmu Studio officially released a new promotional video, which includes the main view of "Dark Souls".
The intoxicating majestic scenery, the knights in heavy armor, and the soaring dragons.
Combined with the internal divisions of Linmu Studio that I heard from the leaders, a promotional page for "Dark Soul" appeared on the Vaporwave game platform.
Lin Yao definitely wants to compensate players by making a PC version of "The Legend of Zelda"!
Maybe... maybe this game will be more adult than "The Legend of Zelda"!
After coming to this conclusion, he immediately went to the forum and excitedly broke the news.
this time.
Wang Ang also wanted to share his joy.
But on the other hand.
He had to admit that after seeing so many replies from 'Uncle Lin', he felt a little like being an uncle...
Because you can predict the players' predictions, you feel like you are a prophet!
it's actually very good!
And Wang Ang estimates...it will be even better after "Dark Soul" is released!
Because I was right this time, next time I reveal information about Linmu Studio, I estimate that every time I will, it will cause a storm in the player circle!
And because of his position, he will definitely be exposed to more works of Lin Mu Studio!
Wang Ang could imagine the scene where he could call the shots and a bunch of players would call him to reveal the news.
He will become the god of first-hand information breaking at Linmu Studio...
"Wang Ang, the reference drawings from Lin Mu Studio have arrived. Take a look. This work is very important, and be careful not to leak the secret."
A voice appeared suddenly.
Interrupting Wang Ang's imagination.
Wang Ang turned his head.
The person in charge of Yika Studio handed him a stack of paintings and gave him the usual instructions.
Wang Ang's eyes lit up and he immediately took the reference painting handed over by the person in charge.
Then.
Saw the first one.
He was stunned.
The first picture is a creature with a name in the upper left corner.
【Glutious Dragon】
But even though his name is Dragon.
But the creature in the main body of the picture has nothing to do with dragons...
It was a giant lizard that seemed to have been mutated by nuclear radiation... It looked weird and didn't look like a normal creature, because its front face had outward-turned teeth!
The terrifyingly sharp, bone-like teeth occupy most of the creature's body.
Its four wings spread out, covering the sky and the earth, and it is full of oppression.
"..."
Wang Ang was stunned, then slowly raised his head and looked at the person in charge: "Boss, are you sure you got it right?"
"No, you're surprised, right? It feels like Lin Mu Studio's style is different this time. Although it's a bit disgusting, I have to admire Lin Yao's imagination."
Wang Ang: "..."
He didn't hear what the person in charge said.
He just has an idea now.
This is the style of "The Legend of Zelda"???

This chapter is three in one...
Also, I would like to say sorry to the friend who gave the reward. I have always wanted to organize my thanks, but time has always been tight, and then I put it off again and again... and now I have no way to organize it. Every time
The tips for tipping popped up from my phone, and I saw them all. I felt very guilty, and I’m really sorry! Also, I’m really grateful. I saw every name, and I made you spend money...
