The beginning of a new era always makes people full of daydreams.
Although Lin Yao still doesn’t know what the world’s mobile Internet era will bring.
It's unclear whether she can reach the heights of her previous life.
But as an orphan who has experienced the mobile Internet era, or a plug-in.
Lin Yao wanted to test the water no matter what.
After all, the relevant hardware level in this world is actually very mature, but it has not evolved much due to the lack of breakthroughs in mobile communication technology and the influence of the general environment.
Mobile Internet is still in the cultivation and growth stage in this world.
In fact, many companies, companies that have little to do with the gaming industry, have already begun to explore how to seize the mobile Internet entrance after the new generation of mobile communication technology began to be announced for commercial use.
But no one can tell what the future trend will be, and no one can make accurate predictions.
Therefore, few companies dare to say for sure what they are going to do and how they are going to do it.
Most companies are still in the exploratory stage.
Some companies that dare to directly pursue a certain direction are just betting on the future.
Just like Lin Yao's previous life, no one knows what the future will be like after 5G is commercialized.
All of a sudden all kinds of concepts came out.
What about smart cars, the Internet of Everything, the metaverse, AR scene applications...
Big companies are betting on what they think will be the future.
Everyone is speculating on imagination and the future.
The demons are dancing wildly, and the heroes are leaderless.
This is a stage that every new era will inevitably go through.
Just like the world Lin Yao lives in now, facing the commercialization of a new generation of mobile communication technology and the breakthrough of the key technology of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access, people with a sensitive sense of smell smelled new opportunities and chose to explore and find a new starting point.
.
only.
Although Lin Yao is currently exploring a new starting point, she has a little more advantages than other smart people...
That is, she knows what the future will be like, although this future cannot be directly applied.
But there shouldn't be much change in direction.
Others cannot make precise predictions, not even rough predictions, they can only rely on guessing.
But she could vaguely see that future.
This is her advantage.
This is also the reason why she developed mobile communication software in advance.
Although her main purpose of doing this is to provide a stable traffic entrance for Linmu Studio's games in the future.
But in addition to games, she is indeed trying to leverage her strengths in other fields.
So the three major things listed.
What Lin Yao cares about most is the second point.
Open the mobile version of hacker, and plan to test mobile games in the future.
The former is Lin Yao's attempt to leverage her advantages in other fields, while the latter is an important attempt in the gaming field.
At this stage, it is no exaggeration to say that every decision made by Lin Yao will affect the future of Lin Mu Studio.
Just speak human words.
Just like World of Warcraft.
If you don't do it, then do it. Once you do it.
Or be born great.
Or die a heroic death.
Compared with the second point.
Other things like whether to make a sequel to Dark Souls or not, the next development plan is not very important.
Because relying on accumulation, Linmu Studio is already qualified to fail in this regard.
As for the third point, Qi Jianhua's suggestions are more of an expansion. Even if they fail, they won't affect too many things.
But if she makes the wrong choice in the future, Lin Yao really can't guarantee that Lin Mu Studio will have another chance...
There is in the gaming field, but Lin Yao is really unsure about other fields.
After all, not whoever comes up with a good idea first will definitely survive and become the ultimate winner.
There is still pressure.
So Lin Yao looked at the three things she listed.
In the end, all my thoughts were focused on the second thing.
until.
There was a knock on the door.
Lin Yao suddenly came back to her senses, straightened up, and said please come in.
"Lin Yao, this is the stable version of the mobile version of Kaihei. Please give it a try."
Zhong Xiu hurried in, holding a test mobile phone with dozens of labels on it, and handed it to Lin Yao.
"good."
Lin Yao took the test phone and without any nonsense, she lowered her head and tried it.
In fact, the transplantation of Kaihei mobile terminal is said to be a transplant, but it is no different from doing it again...
Lin Yao has also been with this project for a long time.
So she got the stable version of the mobile version and was quite calm.
And Lin Yao also understood the operating system of this world.
Although it is not her own mobile phone, she got started quickly.
Not like at the beginning.
It’s a hassle to use a mobile phone.
Because the mobile phone market in this world is also in chaos. Some people still buy mobile phones with physical keyboards, but they are far from sunset. Although the market share of touch screen mobile phones is steadily increasing every year, they are not yet at the point where they dominate the entire market.
And precisely because the mobile phone market is in chaos, and the related operating systems are also diverse, it is indeed difficult to adapt to a person who is familiar with full-screen operations and suddenly returns to the past.
But it's okay.
Lin Yao finally found an Android-like alternative, although the three diamond buttons made her feel like she was going back in time.
But after using it for a while, I got used to it.
Now she is using a touch screen phone, and the phone she tested is also a touch screen phone.
"Chat, voice, call, circle of friends..."
Lin Yao tried the function of opening the black mobile terminal in turn.
My only thought is...
This is WeChat...
Perhaps because she encountered a familiar software, her long-lost memories resurfaced, and then she started acting stupidly again, using full-screen gestures to operate the software.
aside.
Zhong Xiu saw Lin Yao swiping back and forth on the three physical buttons and slowly put a question mark.
I don’t know what Lin Yao is doing.
Lin Yao made a few stupid mistakes and finally came to her senses.
She stopped, holding her phone, and suddenly fell into deep thought.
By the way...
When did full-screen mobile phones emerge in my previous life?
In 2011, 4G was commercialized.
It seems that the next year, BlackBerry launched an operating system with similar full-screen gestures.
Then domestic Xiaomi seems to have launched a mobile phone with a full-screen concept in 2016.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But in the end, it seems that Apple ushered in the full-screen era, and then all manufacturers began to embrace the full-screen and the gesture interaction it brought.
Um……
Is there such a thing here?
"How about it?"
Zhong Xiu asked Lin Yao softly when he saw that Lin Yao remained silent and started to think deeply while holding her cell phone.
"fine."
Lin Yao came back to her senses and handed the test phone back to him with a smile: "Then let's test it internally first. There is no need to launch it now. It's not time yet."
"Okay, I will install the software for all of you later, and then we will create a small group internally and use it."
Zhong Xiu took the test phone and said: "But the scope is limited to core personnel, right? After all, the mobile phones used by everyone now are all kinds of weird, and it is too troublesome to make them compatible. It is no problem for core personnel to change their phones, but there is no need for ordinary staff to change their phones.
, and confidentiality will become a problem.”
"Um."
Lin Yao nodded and agreed.
"In addition...actually before I started working on it, I didn't expect that mobile communication software could do this."
After Zhong Xiu hesitated for a moment, he said slowly: "This requires us to explore alone, which is probably too difficult. But Lin Yao, whether this can be successful is actually a matter of fact. Although it feels very interesting, it is currently limited to WIFI scenarios to achieve the best results."
It’s a good experience. I tried using the current mobile network. It’s too slow. No one knows how the market will react. Just be mentally prepared.”
"Um."
Lin Yao didn't explain much.
Zhong Xiu was just worried that she was too confident and would be too sad if the software failed to meet expectations.
After all, when the mobile terminal project was first established, Lin Yao seemed quite confident as if she knew what the entire software would eventually look like.
But games are games, and software is software.
Lin Yao currently has no achievements that can convince others in this regard.
No one knows what the future of this software will be.
It's normal to worry.
Lin Yao didn't want to say anything more. She couldn't just tell people that she could predict the future.
After she responded, she paused, suddenly changed the subject, and asked: "Zhong Xiu, what do you think of the current operation method of the mobile phone?"
"How does the phone operate? It's pretty good."
When Zhong Xiu heard this, he was slightly surprised: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"Actually, I'm thinking about a brand new gesture interaction based on full screen... forget it, it's nothing."
Lin Yao said halfway.
He stopped suddenly and shook his head.
no.
Zhong Xiu is the leader of the PC game department, there is no need for him to think about these things anymore.
It's not impossible.
But the roots of Linmu Studio are in the game.
Crossing borders requires a lot of effort and brings high risks.
Linmu Studio’s current mature game system is the best industry to resist risks.
Now it is not a good choice to let Zhong Xiu, the boss of the PC game department, expand the territory.
"?"
Zhong Xiu slowly asked again.
But he didn't think much about it: "Then I'll go. I'll install the software for you later, and then I'll go back to the PC game department! In addition, I think the sequel to Dark Souls can be considered."
Say it.
Zhong Xiu then left.
Before leaving, he remembered the term full-screen gesture interaction, but didn't pay much attention to it.
And Lin Yao watched him leave.
He looked down at the paper on the table.
After thinking for a while, I wrote my own answer.
1. The next development plan of the console and PC department is whether to make a sequel to Dark Souls.
The console department maintains its existing advantages and finds a new way for the next generation of Pokémon "swapping" gameplay. The main purpose of the next stage is to launch masterpieces that are different from mobile games.
As for the PC department, Dark Souls sequel, do it!
2. Open the mobile version and plan to test mobile games in the future.
Kaihei mobile terminal will be announced when the new generation of communication technology is officially commercialized. To test mobile games, you can start by making small games that are lighter in size but have good gameplay. Don’t say how much money you hope to make at the beginning. Make some money first.
Wave reputation.
As for gaming and hacking mobile terminals, you can try to cooperate with LMU Financial Holdings.
The whole wave is big!
3. The suggestion just made by Qi Jianhua.
Give it a try.
It doesn’t cost much anyway. Since both the motion capture studio and Qi Jianhua have this intention, let’s give it a try.
Lin Yao wrote her own plan below each answer.
Then put down the pen.
Stand up.
Prepare to go to various departments.
…
End of May.
The popularity of "Monster Hunter" has just dropped.
The small-scale test of "World of Warcraft" has been officially launched.
Although in the end the number of players who made reservations for the test soared to tens of millions.
But not many people ended up participating in the small-scale test.
After all, as Lei Hongguang said, there are still some Pokémon to be released later, so they can’t steal the limelight too much.
And this small-scale test was not very popular.
The first is because the number of people participating in the test is limited, and the test requires a confidentiality agreement.
The second thing is that after the Linmu Carnival meeting was held, the trial was opened immediately.
Discussions about "World of Warcraft" were already overwhelming at that time.
Almost all the gameplay options available to players were discussed during the trial.
The expectations are already very high.
Unless it's in open beta, or Linmu Studio releases big news again.
Otherwise, players will discuss it and pay attention to it, but it is basically impossible to attract as much attention as when the game was first announced.
Linmu Studio currently sells more than one game "World of Warcraft".
Therefore, it is impossible to release new explosive information at this juncture.
The final heat is generally understandable.
And this completes "Pokémon".
June 10th.
"Pokémon" is officially unlocked.
Because there is a foundation from the previous work.
This game sold 3.2 million copies in three days!
There is no doubt that it was a huge success.
In the end, Deputy Kawa Mikio did not go head-to-head with Linmu Studio...
After seeing the Pokémon succeed.
For the sake of money.
He still changed the release dates of his games back.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The success of "Pokémon" also officially heralds that Linmu Studio's carnival event has taken a big step towards a dazzling moment in game history.
Next up are two games from Linmu Studios.
As long as there are no big problems.
The Forest Carnival will become one of the most successful gaming events in gaming history.
And after the success of "Pokémon".
The pressure came to Tianhu and its domestic counterparts...
After all, for stand-alone games, although there is still one "Diablo" left, Linmu Studio's stand-alone colleagues are already mentally prepared.
Commonly known as, lying flat.
It can't be stopped anyway.
Even Game Player, the archenemy of the Vaporwave gaming platform, has recently relented.
Although I don’t know if it was agreed upon.
Anyway, Fantasy Kingdom and Gibber Company contacted Linmu Studio again and discussed the issue of game sharing for the Vaporwave game platform again.
Logically speaking.
After they established their own business, they should no longer discuss game sharing with Linmu Studio.
After all, if their games are no longer available on the Vaporwave gaming platform, what does it have to do with them?
But they just connected.
Although he didn't say it clearly, he seemed to want to take a step back from Lin Mu Studio.
If you reduce the game commission, I will go back again...
In the end, Linmu Studio's reply was very simple. It just said that you do not have games on the Vaporwave game platform.
It's none of your business.
After hearing this reply, the two companies stopped contacting each other.
This is probably because the games currently released by Linmu Studio are all on consoles.
Two games launched on the Vaporwave gaming platform have not been released yet.
but.
Although the two companies still have tough words.
But Game player has indeed been less active recently.
Whether it is the enthusiasm of contacting third-party manufacturers or the number of promotions.
It also feels quite flat.
As for how they will react after "Diablo" and "World of Warcraft" are launched on the Vaporwave gaming platform, it is unknown.
Anyway, there isn't much action at the moment, and there doesn't seem to be any pressure.
By contrast.
On the contrary, domestic online game companies are very stressed when faced with "World of Warcraft", which occasionally has to jump out to make its presence felt but has no public beta.
The knife that didn't fall is always the scariest thing.
It fell.
At most, it's a scratch.
In short, no matter what.
The subsequent impact of the Forest Carnival is indeed great.
It is not an exaggeration to even say that it has stirred up the entire game market.
The entire gaming ecosystem has suffered a blow.
Most game companies have been forced to take action.
It doesn’t matter whether you imitate Linmu Studio or you firmly believe that you can compete with Linmu Studio.
Something will always be done.
Now Linmu Studio is truly a top-tier game developer.
The first top-notch game developer in China!
No one can deny this.
but.
After the carnival.
The head of this domestic first-tier game developer has been somewhat distracted from his duties during this period...
Not only did she not take advantage of the opportunity of her rise, pursue her victory, continue to flourish, and launch a new game project—although there was a game project, Lin Yao’s main focus seemed not to be on it.
On the contrary, she is quite interested in the two areas of mobile terminals and mobile games.
There is also the field of CG animated movies, and the completely unrelated field...the mobile phone field.
And many Linmu Studio insiders also know this.
Because Lin Yao couldn't handle the market research alone.
As for why they are interested in these fields, most staff can't figure it out.
Not to mention ordinary staff, many core staff can't figure it out.
But at this time, the benefits of leaders having charisma come out.
Although I can't figure it out.
But there was no opposition to this within Linmu Studio.
After all, neither "World of Warcraft" nor "Diablo" have been released yet.
It's time to rest and recuperate.
And the time soon came to mid-June.
Lin Yao received the last market research report provided by Mu Wanqing and had a clear understanding of the current situation in several areas of concern.
She re-read all the investigation reports submitted during this period.
Then, start writing a plan.
And this plan.
Except for Mu Wanqing, all the staff within Linmu Studio did not know what was written.
…
Ten days after the release of "Pokémon".
The heat is starting to drop.
Lin Yao's planning book has also been completed.
She took the written plan with her, got off work on time, and then contacted Lin Xi on the way.
Seven o'clock in the evening.
"Xiaoyao."
Lin Xi returned home, changed her shoes at the entrance, and called her sister before she even walked to the living room.
Lin Yao called her specifically to ask her to come back.
Looking very anxious.
This made her a little nervous, thinking something had happened.
But as soon as she walked into the living room, Lin Xi stayed where she was, dumbfounded.
on the sofa.
Lin Yao was sitting on the sofa, holding her round and well-proportioned thighs with one hand, looking down at the cat beside her, and holding a small dried fish in her other hand, teasing the cat and talking to herself.
Talking nonsense like four dishes and one soup, transformation...
Beside her, the black and white ragdoll cat was sitting on the sofa, raising its little head, looking at the dried fish in the air, and barking from time to time.
Poor.
"Are you so anxious to call me back just to tease the cat?"
Lin Xi was amused when she saw this healing and nonsensical scene.
"No, I just happen to be a little bored."
Lin Yao raised her head, smiled brightly, and then handed the dried fish in her hand to the cat's mouth.
The ragdoll cat opened its mouth, picked up the dried fish, and immediately turned around and jumped off the sofa.
It seems that he is afraid that Lin Yao will take it back.
Because he was snatched back just now... and was teased again.
But before it could even take two steps, it bumped into Lin Xi head-on and was picked up again.
"Gululu..."
The ragdoll cat bit the dried fish and made a purring sound, but did not struggle. Instead, it lay quietly in Lin Xi's arms.
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lin Yao took out the paper and wiped the oil stains on her fingers, then glanced at the cat in Lin Xi's arms: "Why wasn't it so good when I hugged it just now?
."
"You usually catch it and give it a slap...of course it's afraid."
Lin Xi sat down next to Lin Yao gracefully while holding the cat, and said softly.
"oh……"
Lin Yao's fair face showed an expression of sudden realization: "I understand, just like you did to me."
"What did I do to you?"
"When taking a shower, especially when washing hair, how can you hold someone's waist and prevent them from getting dressed..."
"That's to help you..."
Lin Xi put the cat on her knees and said funnyly: "Who makes you so anxious every time you take a bath...Okay, what's wrong? You're so anxious to call me back."
"I have an idea about something, but I need to ask for your opinion."
Lin Yao threw away the paper in her hand and did not dwell on the cat. Instead, she got down to business: "How is the production of switch and related accessories going now?"
"very smooth."
Lin Xi gently stroked the cat on his lap, and then replied: "With the improvement of proficiency, the production process has been optimized again and again. The cost of a machine has reached a new low. With the price reduction of materials, the cost of each machine will be reduced by the end of the year."
The cost is expected to be reduced.”
"Well...sister, are you confident in opening a new production line?"
Lin Yao nodded and then asked.
In fact, she is very clear about the current situation of LMU Financial Holdings.
But due to emotions and reasons, she still wanted to ask Lin Xi.
"New production line?" Lin Xi was a little surprised.
"Um."
Lin Yao picked up the planning book on the table, handed it to Lin Xi, and said at the same time:
"Sister, I am very optimistic about the prospects of mobile Internet, so I did a little research on the current situation in various fields, and then wrote a planning document.
This planning content cannot be done by Linmu Studio alone, because there are too many things involved, and Linmu Studio’s energy is limited and cannot affect game development.
So it can only be led by you and assisted by Linmu Studio. See if you have the confidence."
"...What do you want to do?"
Lin Xi took the planning book, but did not read it directly. Instead, he looked at Lin Yao and blinked.
Lin Yao thought for a while and said concisely:
"Develop a full-screen mobile phone and launch it after the new generation of communication technology is commercialized."
"Linmu Studio will develop a new communication software for this phone, pre-install a variety of free casual mobile games, and also tailor-make a mobile game that perfectly supports this phone.
As a gimmick.”
"The mobile phone will initially target gamer users, and then use this as a basis to open up a larger market."
