Although the carnival will still be open tomorrow, Linmu Studio will not announce any game-related information.
Instead, a full day is reserved for players to try out the announced games and hold a closing ceremony.
This is an arrangement that takes into consideration many aspects.
In addition to the PC department's painting conference today, there is also a new game to be announced.
After completing this set of procedures, there was not much time left at all, and the trial could only be put on the next day.
On the other hand, considering that the May Day holiday is only five days long, many players may need to go to work on the sixth day, so it is the wisest choice to focus on these days during the holiday.
Only trial play and the closing ceremony will be held on the last day, so that some players can go to work with peace of mind, and then watch the trial play and closing ceremony through live broadcast or recording, which have a lower priority than announcing new games.
Of course, if you can.
Linmu Studio certainly hopes that more players can participate in the final day of the event.
But sometimes you have to consider reality.
The final process is finalized anyway.
The relevant schedule has also been announced.
The fifth day is the finale.
Players also know that no new game will be announced tomorrow, so after the baptism of "Diablo" yesterday, their expectations for the new game on the last day are very high.
After all, for general activities, the beginning and the end are the most important.
At the beginning, the players were very satisfied.
Now let’s take a look at the new games announced on the penultimate day!
And today’s carnival schedule is quite full.
And very unexpectedly... the meeting that could have been put in the main stage to discuss the future development plans of Linmu Studio's PC department was put in the morning.
According to the official website, this meeting involves the next development plan of the entire PC department.
The entire PC department.
Isn’t this a big axis?
Not even the finale?
This aroused strong interest among the players. As soon as the carnival venue opened that day, a group of players rushed in. Many people didn't even bother to try it out. The COS girl didn't even look at it and went directly to the branch.
venue.
The time is approaching nine o'clock.
The entire branch hall was almost full.
Inside the venue, first row.
Yi Wenwen looked at the crowded venue, and then talked to Li Yu, who had become acquainted with each other in the past few days without looking up, "You said... what will be announced in the afternoon? Meetings of this level are usually held in the morning.
"
"I don't know either. Who knows what surprises Linmu Studio will bring. I have given up predicting them."
Li Yu shrugged, and then complained: "Rather, I am more interested in whether Lin Yao will show up later... Damn it! The young ladies outside don't have that touching feeling at all. I also look forward to long hair shawl.
The maid Lin Yao is here, but she only came out twice during the entire carnival. The second time she appeared, she was still wearing casual clothes and had a ponytail!"
"..."
Yi Wenwen looked at Li Yu with a 'hateful' expression. After a moment of silence, he nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it would be better if she could still wear high heels."
"?"
When Li Yu heard this, he immediately showed a suspicious expression and looked at the bookish Yi Wenwen: "Yesterday, the person who said at the bottom of the "Diablo" discussion thread could imagine being stepped on by Lin Yao...
It can’t be you, right?”
"Don't talk nonsense! It's not me!"
Yi Wenwen immediately panicked and glared at Li Yu: "I clearly mentioned small leather shoes in the post! But what I just said was high heels! How could it be me! How could you slander me like this!"
"...?"
Li Yu was silent for a long time, then looked at Yi Wenwen, who looked upright, and patted his shoulder: "I was wrong."
the other side.
In a row not far behind Li Yu.
Li Guangsheng and Mou Feng also came.
In the past few days, they had been attracted by the 'Forest Carnival' and had no intention of paying attention to other things.
In addition, they had all come to participate in the previous few days, and they felt that it was not a bad day, so they came too.
They are also discussing Linmu Studio's unusual arrangements today.
After the two discussed it, they felt that the most reliable conclusion was that the reason why Linmu Studio held the PC department’s future meeting in the morning was because there were more important projects in the afternoon.
But the problem is.
What kind of project is it worthy of Linmu Studio?
"Will it be another open world masterpiece?" Li Duo thought for a while and expressed his guess.
"possible……"
After hearing this, Mou Feng lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded, thinking of last year's "The Legend of Zelda" produced by Linmu Studio, a game that was well-received.
However, this game is exclusive to consoles.
Now that we are launching an open world game on the PC platform, Linmu Studio is very confident, and we can understand it at the end...
But after thinking about it carefully, he felt something was wrong.
If it's a stand-alone game, what else could be better than "Diablo", which refreshed players' knowledge yesterday, to end it?
After all, there are many works in the open world game genre, and Linmu Studio has its own "Legend of Zelda" gem.
This shouldn’t be worth leaving on the last day, right?
"never mind."
Li Guangsheng looked at Faxiao who was thinking hard, smiled, patted his back gently, and advised: "You'll know in the afternoon anyway, don't think about it. Besides, we are not direct competitors, why do you think so clearly?"
, the biggest headache at this time should not be us, but other major manufacturers!"
"……Right."
Mou Feng was stunned when he heard this, then breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
really.
…
at the same time.
Backstage at the venue.
Some lounge.
"I'm not going on stage." Lin Yao sat on a stool. She looked at the high heels on the ground, then looked up at Mu Wanqing.
"Then show me what you're wearing..." Mu Wanqing looked at her expectantly and whispered.
"..."
Lin Yao met her expectant gaze, and after a moment of silence, she compromised: "Okay..."
She responded, then took off her small leather shoes, lowered her head and stuffed her small feet wrapped in soft stockings into high heels.
The silky hair fell along her face as she lowered her head.
She raised her hand, tucked her hair behind her ears with her slender fingers, and then continued to change her shoes somewhat lamely.
Every move reveals an alluring aura.
Mu Wanqing looked at the girl's every move, slightly lost in thought.
Although Lin Yao gives people the impression of being cute most of the time, she can actually pull off any style... If she really wanted to go the sexy route, she would probably kill 99% of the same sex, including Mu Wanqing herself.
She just couldn't let go.
Of course, Mu Wanqing doesn't want her to let go, so that's good too...
Probably only she...and her sister could see Lin Yao like this.
"alright."
Lin Yao changed her shoes, stood up, and woke up Mu Wanqing who was in a trance.
Mu Wanqing looked at the girl in front of her.
She is becoming taller and more attractive...
"I said I won't be on stage except for the closing ceremony, and you still bought high heels," Lin Yao complained.
"Actually, if you go up there, the effect should be better."
Mu Wanqing smoothed her skirt, squatted down gracefully, then helped Lin Yao adjust the maid's skirt, then stood up again, helped her adjust her upper body, and replied at the same time.
"It's not necessary. If a company relies on the leader's charisma to advance, although the cohesion is strong, if the leader is not there, there will be some problems. Just take advantage of this opportunity to let more producers come to the forefront. The whole
I am the only one who is well-known at Linmu Studio, which is not necessarily a good thing."
Lin Yao shook her head gently, letting her fiddle with it, and replied: "On the other hand, this also allows the staff to have a channel to express themselves. People's needs are never just money. Our studio's salary is very high.
There will definitely be people who want to pursue a higher level of satisfaction."
Mu Wanqing chuckled and said, "But actually everyone has no objection..."
"Then just think I'm troublesome."
Lin Yao smoothed her long, silky hair, smiled brightly at her, and then walked around her for a few steps.
In fact, she can wear any kind of shoes, including high heels.
After all, she may still be a little alienated when she first came here, but as her life time increased and her memories merged, she became very proficient.
The reason why I don’t wear it.
It's nothing more than a deep-rooted imprint at work.
As for these little details, you can compromise a little between friends, but even if it doesn't work, she can be really sweet on her own... But some things will really never be compromised, such as orientation.
Think of this.
Lin Yao suddenly stopped and looked at the girl with black stockings and glasses who was staring at him, a little funny.
"No, why don't you wear it yourself if you like it." Lin Yao returned to Mu Wanqing.
"I'm wearing them," Mu Wanqing defended, while taking a step back, her plump long legs on high heels came together again.
"Fine."
Lin Yao looked down, then thought about it, suddenly fell forward, leaned on Mu Wanqing, and looked towards the rest exit: "By the way, the meeting should have started, right?"
"Well, it's almost time." Mu Wanqing held her waist and turned her head.
"I hope the carnival can end perfectly... plus today, there are still two days left."
Lin Yao glanced at Mu Wanqing's fair and beautiful side face, suddenly adjusted her posture, and looked towards the exit. At the same time, she put her straight nose against Mu Wanqing's delicate and fair side face, and leaned against her body relaxedly.
on her.
Mu Wanqing felt the warm breath on her cheeks, which seemed a little tense.
Lin Yao was lazily holding Mu Wanqing's slender waist with a malicious smile on her face.
Ha, so cute.
…
The PC department's meeting about looking forward to the future has indeed begun.
There are a lot of staff members appearing this time.
Almost all the staff who had served as project team leaders came on stage, including Qi Jianhua, who was in charge of imaging.
This meeting is also different from the previous few days in that it does not have an exact game theme.
The person in charge was on stage, just recalling the interesting stories of various previous game projects from project establishment, production to release.
In short.
This meeting is the one that best fits the name. The overall atmosphere is like meeting and chatting with players.
But the players are not bored at all.
Because at the meeting, many design drafts and scraps during the production of the game were announced.
The staff of Linmu Studio on the stage are like friends, sharing all kinds of messy things with the players.
Why did you originally think of designing a character based on the image of general manager Mu Wanqing when making "Breakout", but Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing shot him dead together? After Arthas became the Lich King, he wore heavy armor.
, but in fact, Linmu Studio once planned to model a separate model inside the armor and make Alsace wearing only plain clothes, but gave up considering that this would make him look inferior.
There are also female Link, male Zelda, modern Sherlock Holmes, Gatling-wielding zombies, etc.
Very complicated.
And every time we talk about this, the staff on the stage will also show the manuscripts and semi-finished models.
Some of them are Lin Yao's manuscripts, but some are the imagination of the staff.
For the first time, many players felt how big the imagination of Linmu Studio was...
And as each manuscript or semi-finished product is released.
The atmosphere at the venue is getting better and better.
certainly.
Drawing cakes is inevitable during this period.
For example, regarding news about the sequel to "Call of Duty", the on-site staff released a concept drawing of a new character.
It was a soldier wearing a skull-patterned mask and a tactical headset on his head. His name was confirmed: Ghost.
Although it is cake.
In order to make way for the game that has entered its final stage during the carnival and will be released first, Lin Yao did not disclose any more information about the sequel.
But the sequel to "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is in production, which is the best news in itself.
Therefore, as soon as the setting diagram drawn by Lin Yao was released, it received a very good response.
Those overseas audiences jumped up and almost took off their shirts.
When the two brothers Peter and Marvin next to Li Yu heard the news, they jumped up...
And except for "Call of Duty".
The responsible persons from two first-party studios, Conglong and Xihan, also came on stage, and then chatted with the players about the future direction of "Detective Sherlock Holmes" and "Detective Detective Dee".
During the period, the staff even hinted at the sequel to "Dark Souls", but they did not reveal too much, but played with mystery.
This also made the players' enthusiasm even higher.
The final result is.
Except for players who go to the toilet midway.
During the nearly four-hour meeting, even if no new game was announced, not a single player felt bored and left.
The atmosphere is great.
In the end, the staff were about to step down, and the players were even very reluctant to leave...
"Unexpectedly, Lin Mu Studio, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, also learned how to draw cakes!"
Mou Feng watched the meeting end and was unwilling to leave. Instead, he discussed the details of the meeting just now with the players and shook his head slightly.
"Yeah." Li Guangsheng looked at the players with a little envy, and then looked at the stage: "There are also those Linmu Studio employees, they are quite powerful... It would be great if they could be poached."
Lin Yao couldn't dig it out.
But the other staff at Linmu Studio also seem to have great ideas!
"Stop thinking about it. Just look at the players' reactions and think back to their performance on stage just now."
Mou Feng thought about the production staff on the stage just now and poured cold water on them: "They sincerely like the games they make and the work they do, and they have a sense of belonging to Linmu Studio. These people want to
Digging doesn’t just depend on money, and according to their insiders, Lin Mu Studio’s salary has always been the best among many peers, and those at the director level just now will only be higher... You are sure to be able to dig.
?”
"As long as you are diligent in poaching, one or two will succeed." Li Guangsheng said unconvinced.
"Then you give it a try..."
Mou Feng shook his head, then sighed, showing admiration, and sighed: "Speaking of which, they are really smart. There are so many new games in one carnival, which is enough for players to digest. If there are more, they may have to compete with each other.
This meeting is a smart compromise."
"And doing this at the last stage of the carnival is really effective...creating a chat-like atmosphere, and further shortening the distance with players by sharing interesting production stories, which not only satisfies some expectations for the sequel, or those who are not interested in seeing it yet"
Players of the game also brought some of the production staff to the forefront, allowing players to get to know more of the staff within Linmu Studio and meet the expectations of these staff.
Even after watching it, I felt that in addition to Lin Yao, who is like a big boss, the other staff in Linmu Studio are also very powerful and full of talents. This is really a killer move.
After the previous four days, players had become accustomed to the exploding new game meeting every time. Linmu Studio suddenly took a step back and changed its approach, and it hit the players' hearts again. This ability to hold events... But I still
I can’t figure it out, wouldn’t it be better to put such a good idea at the end?”
As Mou Feng spoke, he subconsciously began to think again, showing a troubled expression.
beside.
Li Guangsheng looked confused. He didn't understand much and couldn't answer his question.
…
In fact, it is normal for Mou Feng to be confused.
After all, many players think so.
As for the answer...it's actually quite simple.
Just to build momentum for the final "World of Warcraft".
First, use a false shot to get closer to the player and further increase the player's attention to the afternoon meeting.
After all, most of the main creators of Linmu Studio came out in the morning, wouldn't it be even more exciting in the afternoon?
Linmu Studio's return to the field of online games really needs the attention of players.
Unlike stand-alone games, online games are mostly bought and sold in one go. Even if they are not sold in one shot, it is rare that they are updated in the following two or three years.
But it is normal for online games to continue to be updated! After the online game project is launched, a large number of staff will be locked up.
If the popularity does not meet expectations, whether the game is cut in half or continues to be updated, it will not be a pleasant thing, and it will also have a huge impact on the morale of the staff.
Therefore, the "World of Warcraft" meeting is really important.
And he probably understands that this project is very important.
afternoon.
Before going on stage.
He came to prominence by being responsible for "Warcraft", and then he was responsible for the production of "Civilization". Now the leader of the "World of Warcraft" project team, Lei Hongguang, is extremely nervous...
The entire process of the ‘Forest Carnival’ was discussed repeatedly.
The beginning and the end are the most important parts.
Although there will be another day of the 'Linwood Carnival' tomorrow, it will only be open for trial play and the closing ceremony will be held tomorrow, and "World of Warcraft" is the last new game to be announced during the entire 'Carnival'.
Lin Yaohua has a lot of thoughts on her mind. Most of the studio's main creative preparations in the morning were just to build momentum for the afternoon.
The opening of the carnival was supported by Lin Yao, but the person in charge of the last game was Lei Hongguang.
In this situation.
It's normal for Lei Hongguang to panic.
"……how do you feel?"
Just when Lei Hongguang adjusted his breathing.
Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing also arrived near the upper gate.
"boss."
When Lei Hongguang heard the voice, he immediately turned around and said with a grimace: "For such an important project, I feel like it would be more appropriate for you to join it, right?"
"me?"
Lin Yao blinked when she heard this: "Of course it's possible, but are you...sure?"
Lei Hongguang: "..."
"Although the effect will be better if I go there, you will be responsible for dealing with the players after the game is released for public testing. You didn't attend the meeting in the morning. Don't you have anything to say to the players?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lin Yao saw his expression and smiled: "I know you are very nervous. Although we strategically put this game at the end, it is very important."
Value. But essentially, this is just an ordinary meeting, isn't it? Relax, although the meeting is important, in the final analysis, the success of the game depends on the quality of the game, not who is announcing the news at this moment.
What you have to do now is to share the good news with all players - we are continuing to write the story of Warcraft on the basis of "Warcraft"! That's all!"
Lei Hongguang was stunned.
"So you can do it! Come on!"
Lin Yao finally smiled brightly at him.
"……Thanks."
Lei Hongguang looked at the girl, was silent for a moment, thanked her quietly, and suddenly stopped panicking.
Lin Yao shook her head.
And this time.
The lights on the stage also turned on.
Lei Hongguang took a deep breath, then took a step... and then walked onto the stage smoothly.
"Good afternoon everyone! I am Lei Hongguang, the person in charge of "Warcraft"!"
As soon as he said this.
moment.
Deafening cheers rang out!
The players gave enough face.
Stand in the spotlight.
Lei Hongguang was a little moved when he heard the cheers. At the same time, he couldn't help but glance at the entrance gate.
Admission gate.
Lin Yao was holding Mu Wanqing and looking at the stage...
She seemed to notice his gaze.
Lin Yao gave him another encouraging look.
Lei Hongguang smiled bitterly, suddenly feeling a little pessimistic. It seemed that he was going to have trouble with big things in his life... How could he find someone like this after spending every day with him...
He sighed.
Then he quickly came back to his senses and looked at the stage again.
It’s better to do your own thing well first.
"This meeting will be the last meeting of our "Linmu Carnival". I will introduce to you the last new game announced by our Linmu Studio."
Lei Hongguang faced thousands of eyes from the audience. After the cheers stopped, he calmly said: "As for this game, I believe all players who have seen the carnival schedule will know what it is called. Maybe some players have already guessed it.
What happened? Yes, this game is related to "Warcraft".
And "Warcraft" is our first attempt to make an RTS... When Lin Yao told me that he wanted to make an RTS, I thought it was too outrageous. There are too many excellent peers in this game type, and I really
I can’t think of anything new that can be done with this.”
Speaking of which.
Lei Hongguang paused, looked at the players who were listening curiously, smiled, and continued: "But when I saw Lin Yao's setting diagram and planning book, I realized that I was wrong, very wrong... Then when I read
After finishing the story, I felt an urge to make this game no matter what! Because I like the story of Warcraft so much! In the end, we succeeded, and we made "Warcraft".
And we have produced three DLCs for it. We are very satisfied with the world, the story and the further completion in Lin Yao's writing... But on the other hand - I, including others in the entire project team, feel that,
The story of World of Warcraft seems not to be over yet, and there seems to be more to be discovered.
This feeling was so strong that I even began to imagine the follow-up of this story."
Following Lei Hongguang’s words.
The audience looked towards the stage with growing anticipation.
Li Guangsheng and Mou Feng, who were sitting in the middle, also became very interested.
They want to know what Lin Mu Studio hid in the end.
"But it was obvious that my talent was not as good as our beautiful boss in this regard, so I gave up soon."
Lei Hongguang spread his hands and received a burst of cheers, then continued: "And just when I gave up and thought the story should end here, Lin Yao suddenly came to me again, and she gave me a planning document. Then he told me that he wanted to make a game and build a World of Warcraft... My thoughts at the time were similar to the first time I heard Lin Yao say that he wanted to make an RTS game. A world? How to build a game? ?”
"Then, I opened the planning book, opened the solution given by Lin Yao, and saw her definition of World of Warcraft. I was impressed again, and then - this game, this " World of Warcraft"!
An online game!!
An MMORPG!!!”
As Lei Hongguang finished speaking.
On the screen behind him, the most classic World of Warcraft LOGO appeared.
"World of Warcraft"! Comes into the eyes of all players!
"Yes, Linmu Studio...will return to the field of online games again!"
After a short silence.
Accompanied by Lei Hongguang’s firm and powerful words.
Under the stage, cheers like a tsunami broke out in an instant!
Online games!!
It’s actually an online game!!!
An online game produced by Linmu Studio!!!
Under the impact of this news, all the players were confused and instinctively gave out the loudest cheers!
And at the same time.
There were also one or two non-players in the audience who were shocked by the news and were confused and confused...
For example...Li Guangsheng.
A second ago, he was staring at the stage with all his attention, ready to see what Lin Mu Studio was hiding.
The next second.
Lei Hongguang on the stage said the words MMORPG and online games.
That moment.
Li Guangsheng's head immediately buzzed... He was confused and subconsciously stood up. What awaited him was the cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami!
Facing the sudden tsunami-like cheers, he couldn't stand still and slid directly from the chair and sat down on the ground.
"Fuck! Bro, bro! You don't have to be so excited..."
Next to him, a player was so frightened that he stopped cheering and quickly went to pull Li Guangsheng.
Li Guangsheng sat on the ground, listening to the deafening cheers. He looked back at the kind player who pulled him, and barely understood the other player's meaning through lip reading.
Then, he replied blankly: "Am I excited!? My legs are so weak..."
