If we say that the bosses of game companies like Frank are positioned as heavyweights in the industry.
As for Lin Yao, her positioning is quite special.
First of all, she is a girl, and secondly, she is also a game producer.
It’s not impossible to balance these two identities. Lin Yao had many outstanding female producers in her previous life, such as Aya Kyogoku, the director of Animal Crossing, and Ged Raymond, the producer of Assassin’s Creed.
But in Lin Yao's previous life, if you said these names to an ordinary player... it is estimated that 99% of the players would say they have no impression, or they have never heard of them at all.
But if it is a male producer, the player can immediately blurt out three or four people, such as Miyamoto Shigeru, Aonuma Eiji, Sakurai Masahiro and so on.
Even in Animal Crossing, the players who know it more are probably more impressed by Eguchi Katsuya who created this IP, not Kyogoku Aya.
Because the base numbers are too different.
Even Japan, which is keen on making artificial gods, is like this.
Not to mention the European and American camps whose producers are relatively inconspicuous.
There is no way, in the gaming field, it is true that men understand men better.
And here too, there are almost no female producers who can stand up and make players cheer.
Lin Yao is... the first one.
Mainly because Linmu Studio has risen so fast, and the quality of their games is really great! This is something that all players and industry insiders can see.
However, among the games that Linmu Studio releases so frequently, players can still see Lin Yao's name on the staff list at the back of almost every game.
This outrageous appearance rate...it's hard not to remember.
For a while, some people even questioned whether Linmu Studio was making fake products or trying to create gods.
But later the misunderstanding was resolved.
After all, it is a game company.
There will definitely be personnel movement.
Even at Lin Mu Studio, some staff members left.
And these staff members who left Linmu Studio have confirmed that Lin Yao is involved in basically all projects of Linmu Studio, and she is still in charge of most projects.
And their evaluation of Lin Yao was surprisingly consistent.
That's outrageous...
What's even more outrageous is that after these people left, they all missed Lin Yao...
The companies that poached employees were quite speechless.
Everyone knows this kind of influence, and it cannot be created through fraud...
Such a company that has shone brightly in the gaming field, and in just a few years, has brought a company that was originally unknown, and even ranked behind Tianhu two years ago, to the point where it is well-known by players all over the world.
people.
It's legendary in itself.
Plus, she's very pretty.
It can bring huge surprises to players every time it comes out.
Reflecta's appearance at the press conference brought "Battlefield", which directly changed the development direction of Gibber Company and Dreamland's top IP this year. And its appearance at the console press conference brought Switch, which directly changed the entire console market. Starring in the fitness ring
Not to mention, it directly provides a new game development direction.
All of this adds up to giving players an illusion.
It turns out that women also understand my illusion...
At this time, when they saw Lin Yao appear on the stage, thinking of her past achievements, it was normal for them to cheer.
As for the industry insiders at the venue, they know better than the players how fast Linmu Studio has risen, and how legendary Lin Yao, a colleague who rarely appears, is!
And even people who don’t know it know about the Vaporwave gaming platform.
Now this is a channel that all publishers cannot avoid, and the people on the screen are the creators of this platform.
so.
Lin Yao appears.
The atmosphere was indeed quite lively, to some extent, even more lively than Frank's appearance.
Because Frank is the manager and Lin Yao has been on the front line of development for a long time, most of the people in the venue are front-line development staff.
On the screen, Lin Yao maintained her expression.
I'm barely used to this kind of scene.
After she said hello, and after the cheers subsided, she made a joke: "I've never been able to attend the ceremony before. I'm really sorry. If I knew the atmosphere was so lively, I would have come over to attend..."
Say it.
Lin Yao smiled softly, she was such a goddess, she could lie without blushing...
certainly.
The audience will definitely not be able to tell that she is lying.
Instead, he cheered again.
Lin Yao waited for the cheers to stop again, then continued:
"I'm very grateful that the committee gave the Best Operation Award to "Breakout" this time. This is our first 3D game. It is of great significance to me and the entire Linmu Studio. It can be said that this game is
One of our starting points, if it weren’t for this game, we probably wouldn’t be able to get to this point in the future.”
"And this game has been able to operate for so long. What I want to thank the most is the players who support this game and support us... I can't repay you for this. The only thing I can do is probably continue to bring you more
So many great games.”
"Well, here we come..."
Say it.
Lin Yao smiled mysteriously.
Then the figure disappeared.
The screen also dims, then lights up again.
The game screen is out...
Backstage.
When Frank and Hawkins saw this scene and heard Lin Yao's words, they immediately cheered up.
coming soon.
New game from Linmu Studios!
but……
Wait for the game screen to appear on the screen...
Both of them were stunned.
on the screen.
As Lin Yao finished speaking.
From an overhead perspective, a dilapidated village appeared on the screen.
The camera passed through the deserted village and came to the entrance of the village.
A handsome young man stood with his sword raised.
The young man wore a Fanyang felt hat, a red hairpin on his head, a black tight-fitting lining and a soap robe on the outside, with a serious look on his face.
The camera also switches to the first perspective of the actual game.
"Your Excellency is truly a man of God."
Accompanied by this inexplicable line.
The character starts to move forward.
The atmosphere, scenes, and characters of the game are all top-notch.
But...it's not an FPS?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Frank and Hawkins are a little confused.
And just when they were doubting.
The video begins to demonstrate the specific gameplay.
The handsome young man raised his sword and walked forward quickly.
As for the seemingly deserted village, as the young man took a few steps out, someone suddenly emerged from the dark corner.
He raised his knife and struck him.
clang.
But the player controlling the character reacted very quickly. Almost as soon as the enemy came out, he jumped back and then swung his knife forward.
The two men's swords clashed.
Mars splash.
Due to the reaction force, the two people also distanced themselves.
The sneak attack turned into a head-on confrontation.
Then, the player moves first.
She controls the character to dash forward and strike directly with a knife.
The enemy on the opposite side also dealt a powerful and heavy blow.
The two sides were like blacksmithing, the swords collided fiercely again... collided again!
Two confrontations.
In the second confrontation, the enemy used too much force and fell back due to the collision, briefly losing his balance.
The protagonist seized the opportunity, held the knife with both hands, and stabbed forward.
Phew.
Blood spurts out and the enemy falls to the ground.
The protagonist pulls out the knife from the enemy, then turns around and continues forward.
Clean and neat.
And soon.
The next wave of enemies is coming.
This time there are three.
Dang Dang Dang...
Then, the sound of sword fighting could not be heard.
"..."
In fact, the players are more confused than Hawkins and Frank.
They are already mentally prepared.
Get ready for Linmu Studio’s FPS game demo.
After all, the atmosphere has been enhanced to this point, and the other two companies have played their cards.
Why should I retaliate?
But they were mentally prepared, but Linmu Studio did not follow common sense...
Directly... a plate of action dishes was served.
Completely different from FPS action dishes.
In the previous battle, which lasted just over a minute, the player's mood was also like a roller coaster.
When I saw the sneak attack scene.
Many players think it is the style of Dark Souls.
But wait until you see Ji Dao.
The feeling of the players is... cool!
This feeling of fighting to find a flaw is very hardcore!
Really handsome!
Handsome movements, just watch the video and you will know the great hitting feeling, changeable attack rhythm, and combat system based on reality.
That’s the feeling it gives players.
It's not like watching someone else play a game, but more like watching a well-choreographed sword and martial arts movie.
Overseas players find it very refreshing.
Domestic players are in for a surprise!
“Damn it! It’s not an FPS!!!!”
"No, I was fooled. Linmu Studio was setting off smoke bombs before. Looking at the costume of the protagonist, it should be from the Wu Zhou period! Action game!"
"This guy is so handsome, and he feels so good when he fights, doesn't he?"
"So the scene of Wu Zetian that appeared in the promotional video is from this game? No wonder the leader in "Civilization" is Wu Zetian, so she is waiting here!"
"What a surprise...I thought it was an FPS. Linmu Studio finally made a domestic-themed game again! Looking forward to it!!!"
"So handsome! So tough!"
"This is Linmu Studio!"
"..."
Domestic players fell into ecstasy.
As for overseas players, they have experienced the indiscriminate bombardment of two FPS games, and there are indeed very few similar themes. Besides being fresh, they are also quite interested in the game.
The entire "Detective Dee" demo and promotional video is not long, much shorter than the demo and promotional videos of Gibb Company and Dreamland.
It's basically the process of running through a mini map.
at last.
The protagonist hacks and slashes all the way to the open space deep in the dilapidated village.
Then, a reckless man waved the meteor hammer in his hand, smashed through the earthen wall of the hiding place, and broke out!
The boss appears.
And then...then it was over.
The game name "Detective Dee" appears.
The game will be released next spring.
"...???"
The players were confused again.
no?
Is it like this? You won’t even finish the boss battle?
And...it won’t be released until next year!?
Backstage, Frank and Hawkins saw the release date, looked at each other, and breathed a sigh of relief together.
It seems...don't worry too much.
Although the game does look interesting, it is not an FPS after all.
And when the game is released next spring, the day lilies will be cold.
Could it be that... Linmu Studio is not releasing games during this period not to make way for "Civilization", but because the game is not ready?
Frank and Hawkins had similar thoughts at the same time.
The players, after a brief period of confusion, were a little dissatisfied.
Next year...
But just when they were feeling a little restless.
The screen went dark again.
Then it lights up again.
The music style has also changed.
Accompanied by super rhythmic music, the Tower of London appeared on the screen.
The eagle flies across the sky.
Horse-drawn carriages and simple cars sit side by side on the road.
There are clearly things like street lights on the road.
But on the Thames under the Tower of London, there are still coachmen shaking the oars vigorously.
Advanced and backward coexist.
This was the beginning of industrialization, the Victorian era.
Almost as soon as I saw the video.
All players now know the background of the story.
When Frank and Hawkins saw this scene, their hearts lifted again.
besides!?
And just when some players thought this was the sequel to "The Witch".
The camera followed the soaring eagle to a street.
Finally, we settled on a house number.
221b Baker Street.
Then, the camera continues to advance.
Second floor.
A man in a police uniform stood upright.
"resurrection?"
the other side.
A man with a slicked back hair leaned on the back of the chair, took out the briar pipe from his mouth, tapped it lightly, and asked.
"Yes, Mr. Holmes." The policeman nodded, looking a little nervous, "Blackwood is resurrected, and Lestrade wants you to come over."
"..."
Holmes did not speak, but knocked on his pipe thoughtfully, and then suddenly stood up: "Watson!"
As he called out his partner's name.
The game has also officially entered the real-machine demonstration phase.
But the protagonist is not Holmes who appears first, but someone else.
The footage of the actual demonstration shows the protagonist and Sherlock Holmes on their way to the cemetery together.
"Impossible, I personally confirmed his death!"
As for the protagonist, it seems that he cannot accept the resurrection of a certain person.
"John, when you eliminate all impossible conclusions, whatever remains, no matter how bizarre, must be the truth."
As he walked, Holmes said the classic line, and then continued: "I don't question your ability, but the reality is that he has indeed been resurrected, and he is causing panic and fear, which are the most easily contagious emotions.
"
"..."
The protagonist seems to have nothing to say.
And next.
The entire live demonstration revolved around a case that had no beginning and no end. To put it simply, a vicious criminal was resurrected after being hanged.
It was the protagonist beside Holmes who announced his death.
For the sake of my own reputation and to find out the truth.
Players must play the role of 'Watson' next to Holmes, looking for clues and exploring the truth.
This game is different from the previous "Detective Dee".
The overall atmosphere is very eerie, with a strong sense of suspense, and even players feel like watching a movie trailer.
If it weren't for the game action system shown in the video during the period.
Players also find the action system of this game quite interesting.
"Detective Dee" is about swords, this game is about fists and feet.
The action is full of punches, coupled with the design of throwing props, and the protagonist will chatter and taunt the enemy when the fight starts.
Looks very interesting.
And the game is not a depressing atmosphere throughout.
Occasionally the two characters bicker, which is interesting.
What - 'Smartness is not like a faucet that can be turned on and off', 'Don't speak loudly, you lower the IQ of the whole street. Turn away, you are hindering my thinking' and so on.
In short, the two characters have very distinct personalities.
The more players watch it, the more they feel like watching a movie trailer.
"This...Linmu Studio is really acting out of common sense. It suddenly turned into the Victorian era again."
"The action system is like boxing...but I'm more interested in the cases inside."
“The atmosphere is created really well, it feels like watching a movie promotional video.”
"...Another new game, it really doesn't follow common sense."
"These two characters feel so interesting."
"..."
Players are also very interested in this game.
But the demo and promotional video for this game also came to an abrupt end...
Basically didn't reveal much.
Then the release date came out.
The same is next year, spring...
This player can't stand it anymore...
When they saw the release date, their initial interest turned into dissatisfaction.
Why are they all for next year! Are there none for this year?
And the background.
Frank and Hawkins saw the release date, looked at each other again, and confirmed.
Linmu Studio’s new game just isn’t finished yet!
So when Lin Yao appears on the screen again, it's like heralding the end of the cake-painting stage.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
not bad.
It seems that there are no strong opponents this year...
