There is indeed something wrong with this online game planning 516, Ship, "Diablo"
Lin Yao’s independent office.
garbage can.
The plastic bag containing the takeout box lay quietly.
Lin Yao herself was sitting on a chair, explaining to Mu Wanqing the three decisions she had just made.
Mu Wanqing understood the first two quickly.
On the contrary, it is the last mobile game department.
Lin Yao spent the most time explaining.
"At present, the mobile game department will not invest too many resources. The games in the planning book are basically very small casual games, which are not difficult to make.
Rather than being an independent department, it’s more like a small game that the Switch department takes the time to make.”
Lin Yao crumpled the paper towel in her hand and continued to explain: "When the time comes in the future, this department will recruit people separately. This will not affect the independence of the host department and PC department, but also allow qualified PC
The department and the console department can retain considerable say in the coming mobile Internet era, and can also prevent PC and console game projects from being affected.
Of course, in order to prevent the estrangement between the three departments from becoming confrontational in the later stage, the real mobile games in the early stage will be developed separately by the host PC department, with dual-end login as the mainstay."
"But this matter is not urgent. The first thing is that I envisioned gcardgame based on "World of Warcraft", which is a collectible card game. Before "World of Warcraft" was launched, there was no need to start the project so quickly. In addition,
On the one hand, the mobile version of "Fantasy OL" that can complete tasks such as master training and running repairs has certain technical problems, so it is not in the planning book.
I plan to wait until all the games for this carnival are released before starting the project. The games in the planning book now are just for practice."
In fact, the most profitable mobile game in the early days of the mobile Internet, or the most profitable mobile game, was actually a card drawing game.
but.
Lin Yao did not plan to make this type of game at first, mainly because the impact on the market would be too great, and it would be too easy to change skins.
The gameplay is also very average.
Although "Hearthstone" can be regarded as a card draw, it is not a 'technical game' after all.
"So, the mobile game department established this time...is similar to a seed?"
Mu Wanqing thought for a while and asked.
"Um."
Lin Yao nodded: "It's like a seed. That's why I said that in addition to the people who have been transferred, all interested staff can participate. Although it is a mobile online game, some small-scale stand-alone games, as time goes by,
, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t access the mobile version. It’s a good thing that the staff are interested in the new platform, and they won’t have nothing to do.
In addition, I actually have the idea of setting up a software department, but this has nothing to do with games. I can only recruit from outside. Let’s see how the subsequent mobile phone releases are and see if there is a suitable company. It might be faster if we acquire it directly.
.Of course, school recruitment is probably a good way too.”
"Um……"
Mu Wanqing looked at the planning book in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Lin Yao, are you really confident in the mobile terminal? At present, there is a mixed bag..."
She seemed a little worried that Lin Yao would fall badly because she was too confident.
After all, according to the plan just mentioned by Lin Yao.
The investment is not small.
Lin Yao was slightly startled when she heard this, and then asked with a smile: "Do you believe me?"
"believe."
Mu Wanqing nodded without hesitation.
"That's fine."
Lin Yao threw away the crumpled tissue in her hand, then stood up and reached out to brush her long hair: "I'm not blindly confident, Miss Mu, as long as our mobile phones can publish, I think the future I imagined will come.
.
Although... I can't say I like that future that much, but do you still remember what I told you after the MOBA project was released? We are the ship builders of the new era! As the captain, I will pilot the ship before the hull rots and sinks.
Keep going! Now we have discovered a new continent. Although we don’t know if it can carry us, we will break into it first!”
Speaking of which.
Lin Yao paused, then walked briskly to Mu Wanqing, and continued: "If you really want me to give up, I won't be willing to give up, first mate!"
Mu Wanqing: "...first mate?"
"I'm the captain."
Lin Yao stretched out her slender white fingers, pointed at herself, and then patted Mu Wanqing's shoulder: "Then why are you not the first mate?"
"unless."
Lin Yao suddenly parted her plump and slender thighs and sat down on Mu Wanqing's lap. Then she looked at her bright and fair face with a narrowed expression and said, "You want to be a boat."
"...Why not you?" Mu Wanqing was silent for a moment and made a bold suggestion.
Lin Yao pinched Mu Wanqing's soft face with both hands and said fiercely: "I treat you as a friend, but you want to drive me away... Bah, you treat me like a boat?"
"No way?"
Mu Wanqing hugged Lin Yao's slender waist and suddenly her mouth was filled with confusion.
"...Well, it depends on the situation."
Lin Yao let go of Mu Wanqing's cheek, leaned forward, put her snow-white chin on her shoulder, and whispered.
"...
Warm breath lingers in the ears.
Mu Wanqing's delicate body immediately became a little stiff.
ha.
Lin Yao felt something in a position where Mu Wanqing couldn't see, and smiled evilly.
…
End of June.
Linmu Studio began to make frequent moves in areas other than games.
Why fully acquire a mobile phone factory, establish a special forest research laboratory, merge the original switch hardware department into the research laboratory, and establish a full-process hardware team...
There is something even more important...Linmu Studio announced that it will invest 3% of its revenue in R&D and gradually increase it.
In short.
True or false, a lot of news.
However, not many people pay attention to this.
Or to be more precise, not many people in the industry are paying attention.
The game media and players are very concerned about it.
Gaming media is mostly about gimmicks.
As for the players, they are mainly worried that Linmu Studio has been so busy that it has forgotten its foundation - games. At the same time, they are also curious about what Lin Yao wants to do.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But Lin Yao’s colleagues can’t care about it for the time being.
Just like Li Guangsheng said, the biggest trouble now is Linmu Studio's games, not the illusory future. You say you can expect the future, but you can't expect it!
If Linmu Studio wants to burn money, that’s their business!
Could it be that they can produce results in a short period of time even though they are burning money?
I'm afraid I'm not dreaming!
This is the common thought among Lin Yao’s game colleagues.
As for YouMedia being acquired, several domestic mobile phone leaders are also aware of it.
But I just glanced at it and ignored it.
They don't understand the game.
But with mobile phones, relying on You Media’s little foundation, they really didn’t pay attention to it, and the amount of capital they invested was just that.
And even if YouMedia’s new financial backer, Linmu Studio behind it, is really trying to develop mobile phones at all costs, and in the end, it’s not the younger brother of Jiaming Alliance.
He is nothing more than a speculator who has a smell of the future.
This is what they said about Linmu Studio.
at last.
On the contrary, many suppliers were frightened by the courage of Linmu Studio, because some suppliers guessed that the next mobile phone of the acquired Youmedia seemed to be adapted to the new generation of communication technology.
Be the first to eat crabs!
have to say.
It's really courageous.
Even the leaders are still studying this, but this unknown little character dares to go directly.
certainly.
These... currently have little relevance to players.
After discussing it for a few days, it was forgotten.
At present, what players are most interested in is "Diablo", which left a deep impression on them at the carnival.
Recently, the game seems to have stepped up its promotion efforts.
Although it does not have the discount BUFF of the carnival, this game still attracts a large number of players with its unique temperament and gothic style.
And it is a dual-end login game.
Both PC players and console players can play, which further increases the player base.
In the end, the predicted sales volume of "Diablo" easily exceeded four million and was close to five million without unlocking the game.
This is higher than the sales volume of the previous two games within three days of release.
The entire gaming circle is paying attention to this game.
Including Frank.
Because even if he doesn't want to admit it, the fact is before him that Gameplayer is already on the verge of falling apart.
Forest carnival is the inducement.
Although I don’t know if “Diablo” will be the last straw for Gamers, but if the game is really successful, its impact will definitely not be small.
But Linmu Studio has been unwilling to let go of the game share...
He really doesn't want to go back with his tail between his legs!
What the hell.
After all, Gibber Company is also a European and American company with countless game IPs. Logically speaking, shouldn’t it be the platform itself?
Why did you ask for a platform instead?
What's the point?
Frank really can't swallow this breath!
The suggestion is already the best.
Even if you reduce it by 10%!
One percent!
Even with a 10% reduction, everyone can still live with it! We can still talk slowly! If appropriate, Gibber Company will go back!
Just reply that the commission has nothing to do with Gibb Company.
Don’t get the hint?
So confident! So arrogant!
But actually.
What made him angry the most.
That's not it.
But Linmu Studio really has this capital and arrogance.
Because even without Gibber Company and Dream Kingdom, players still tend to choose Vapor C-side games.
Because of the community, because of the Internet, because the game is more palatable, because there are many players...
The reasons given by players are all kinds of strange.
But no matter how Gameplayer changes it and how it is changed according to the players’ opinions, players will still go to the Vaporwave game platform.
txsw
Recently, Frank finally figured it out.
The reasons given by the players are simply wrong!
The biggest reason why they chose the Vaporwave game platform is because of inertia! Because of the game library! And the first-party games that Linmu Studio continues to launch!
As long as their account games do not disappear, the Vaporwave gaming platform, which has formed a unique community culture, will be very attractive to them.
Linmu Studio continues to launch high-quality first-party games, which will further enrich players' game libraries, making it increasingly difficult for them to give up the Vaporwave platform.
How many games did Linmu Studio launch last year alone?
They are just like sows!
Even if some players are not interested in these games, what about other players? There will always be those who are interested, right?
So how many games has Linmu Studio released in the past few years?
Which player’s game library now doesn’t have a few first-party games from Linmu Studio?
And how many memories has the Vaporwave platform’s constantly improving and mature game evaluation mechanism left for players?
This is why players choose the Vaporwave platform!
Although Vaporwave has not formed a monopoly, just like Gameplayer, anyone can challenge it in a decent way, but as long as they don't commit suicide, they will never lose!
After reaching this conclusion.
Frank is really desperate.
So he really hopes that the game "Diablo" will fail.
really hope!
Although he knew that none of his wishes would come true...
He also knows very well that the failure of a game will not affect the foundation of the Vaporwave platform.
But if this continues and Lin Mu Studio succeeds in one game after another, he really doesn’t have the confidence to build a Gameplayer platform...
Even if one fails!
There is one!
Then he can have the confidence to negotiate with Linmu Studio, and he can also have the confidence to continue operating Gameplayer!
And this time.
He really thought he had a chance!
real.
Because this time the style of "Diablo" is too unique, and the gameplay disclosed is also too special. There have been no successful works before.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Unlike FPS, there are similar games.
"Call of Duty" just takes the scripted plot of FPS to the extreme.
But except for the players who have tried it out, no one knows how Diablo is, or whether it is suitable for them.
The enthusiasm of players is now high. With Linmu Studio’s largest announcement, all players are full of expectations for this game.
What if Linmu Studios’ boldest game yet isn’t for everyone?
That would really turn things over.
Well...he could only think so.
Other than that, there is no other way.
And this time, Frank doesn't want to listen to other people's bragging about how good the game is, but instead wants to see how other people evaluate the game.
He wants to play it himself.
…
The time soon came to July 2nd.
"Don't bother me if you have nothing to do."
Frank told his secretary, and after the secretary left, he turned his attention to the screen again.
On the screen is a game forum.
The various posts posted by players about their expectations are a bit eye-catching.
But there was nothing he could do.
today.
It was the day that Linmu Studio's "Diablo" was released.
Many players predict that the pre-sale sales of this game may exceed 5 million copies.
So it's not surprising that there would be such a grand occasion.
After all, players have been waiting for it for so long.
Frank looked at the forum for a while and found that no player was worried about the quality of the game, which made him increasingly irritated.
Finally, I cursed and closed the page, waiting patiently for the game to be unlocked.
The game is already preloaded.
He wants to try this game for himself!
Eastern Time Zone, North America, 6 p.m.
The game is officially unlocked.
Frank took a deep breath and then clicked on the game directly.
Loading, logo appears, black screen, game screen pops up.
Later.
The name of the game appeared in the center of the screen——
Diablo!
Follow the prompts and press any key.
A figure appeared in the center of the picture. It was a strong man holding a heavy ax and wearing heavy armor.
He stood in a lonely place filled with mist.
Occupation is Barbarian.
This is the Choose a Career page.
On the left is a menu for selecting occupation and gender, and on the right is an introduction to the selected occupation.
at the same time.
Cold and deep background music started playing as the selection page popped up.
The sense of immersion was immediately heightened.
Frank looked at the screen, briefly looked at the introductions of several professions, then selected a magician, entered his name, and clicked start.
It doesn't matter to him how many professions there are.
It doesn't matter what his career is like.
He is not here to play the game, he is here to find fault, or to make sure that this game is not suitable for everyone.
So he didn't put much thought into creating the page and started playing the game directly.
And the game starts.
It's just two CGs.
A CG from the first scene.
A personal CG of a magician.
But when Frank was halfway through the first CG, he saw the army of hell approaching and Leah and his uncle Kane being hit by a meteorite in the church, so he stopped watching.
He impatiently skipped the CG.
He's not here to play games!
Frank pressed the ESC key frantically.
soon.
He entered the game directly.
As for the official game screen, the most eye-catching thing is of course the UI at the bottom of the game.
There are two round containers, one filled with red liquid and the other filled with starlight-like energy.
Represent health value and arcana value respectively.
In the middle, there are options such as skill bar and equipment items.
Use the left mouse button to move, and the right button to shoot with the wand.
Although the picture in the center is 3D, the viewing angle cannot be adjusted at will.
It is indeed different from ordinary 3A games.
On the contrary, it is a bit like an online game.
Frank was evaluating the game while controlling the character to move forward.
soon.
The enemy appears.
It was a humanoid creature in ragged clothes that looked like a zombie.
One click and it dies.
Frank moved forward, easily eliminating enemies with the right mouse button along the way.
Then, an idea emerged.
--That's it?
The atmosphere is quite well created.
Broken limbs, piles of burning corpses, plundering crows, diffuse fog...
But the atmosphere is one thing, and the fun is another.
Frank really didn’t feel any gameplay...
Go to the gate of the town, help them kill the undead crawling out of the ground according to the information from the guard captain, and then look for Leah who appeared in the CG.
The whole process is very smooth.
There is no difficulty at all.
Frank even gained a level directly at the gate of town.
That’s it?
What kind of game is this? Invincible flow?
Players will get bored after playing for a while, right?
The thought just now came to Frank's mind again, and he walked into the town called New Tristram with a frown.
Although he felt that he had almost no combat experience, he had to admire the art of Lin Mu Studio...
It’s so touching.
While observing the town created by Linmu Studio, Frank found Leah, a survivor after the meteorite fell, according to the mission reminder, and learned from him more and more news about the undead.
Then.
The magician played by Frank made a promise to protect the town.
He returned to the exit of the town, followed the guard captain's guidance, and headed to the ruins to eliminate the corpse mother.
The plot does not have the ultimate script performance effect like "Call of Duty".
very common.
Basically, once one task is completed, the next task will come out.
There is no difficulty.
There is no gameplay either.
The plot is not the "Call of Duty" type either.
This made Frank sigh with relief.
However, he planned to take another look.
He controlled the characters and embarked on a journey to eliminate the Corpse Mother.
And the subsequent game battles were just as he expected...
While moving the character with the mouse, avoid enemy attacks.
Players can attack enemies by pressing the left and right mouse buttons.
the whole process.
It's so easy that even his grandma could play...
Especially after reaching level 2, the magician unlocks a new skill - Frost Ray.
This skill is just as described.
Press and hold the right button.
The magician will launch a pure frost ray, during which he can also move the mouse 360 degrees to attack...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Whoever you shoot will die.
It also comes with a speed reducer!
Oh My God!
See this scene.
Frank was truly ecstatic.
He thought this gameplay was too outrageous! Although he saw that the game started to have difficulty options, would ordinary players really choose the difficulty at the beginning?
When you enter the game for the first time, you usually choose the most normal difficulty at the beginning, right?
On the normal difficulty level, you can basically kill with one hit. What fun is there in this?
Just use Frost Ray all the way and push horizontally.
Is there any gameplay in this?
Isn’t this player going to kill this game?
Currently, Frank's biggest feeling after playing it is that it is more like a small game made by a small company than a 3A masterpiece!
Except for fine arts.
Because whether it's the atmosphere, the gothic art style, or the attack special effects, the scattered limbs of the enemy when they are hit, and the large-scale blood-colored scenes, they all have a sense of immersion.
Frank admitted this.
But the combat aspect of this game is too childish.
Players will get bored quickly.
Frank is convinced!
He was suddenly looking forward to it.
Looking forward to the performances of the players later.
I guess it will be exciting, right?
"Huh? Did you drop your equipment?"
At this time.
Frank was in Old Tristram, thinking wildly, and using frost rays to push the monsters on the map according to the mission.
One of the monsters.
Suddenly there was a ding, and gold coins and a piece of equipment fell.
Frank picked up the dropped equipment, then opened the inventory. Looking at the character with nothing equipped, he subconsciously dragged the dropped equipment to the equipment inventory.
Then he subconsciously looked at the attributes of the equipment and his own character attributes.
But soon.
He shook his head.
I'm not here to play games.
Why do you care about these?
I guess I'll get bored after a while.
With this thought in mind, Frank smiled and moved on.
Then soon, he found the first BOSS of the game.
As expected.
Still so simple.
Just hold down the frost ray with the right mouse button, and the opponent's health bar will be reset to zero.
Hahaha.
Smash it!
Linmu Studio screwed up!
Frank was stunned when he saw the BOSS dying several times, and then became more and more excited.
He returned to town following the mission.
At the same time, the premonition that this game will be criticized is getting stronger and stronger.
But soon.
He was attracted by the game reminder.
New skills for the magician are unlocked.
The corpse mother's mission was completed and he was rewarded with a piece of equipment.
"Magic bow, 110% damage, 19.6% healing. New skill...shock wave. No, I'll get tired of seeing what you're doing so carefully."
Frank subconsciously read the description of the equipment's attributes and skills carefully.
Diablo has a total of six skill slots, 1234 four buttons, and two left and right mouse buttons.
But one skill slot can switch four skills.
The game seems to require players to make their own decisions and choose what skills to match.
The skills will be unlocked one by one according to the player's level.
After reaching level six, each skill will have corresponding bonus runes.
at this time.
Frank still doesn't find this side-pushing battle system interesting.
only.
He was playing around, and suddenly he wanted to unlock those unlocked skills.
At the same time, I want to see what equipment will be dropped by monsters in the future games...
This idea came to me very suddenly.
And soon.
Frank realized something and got rid of unnecessary thoughts.
The combat system is definitely boring.
There is no doubt about this.
As long as you can still push horizontally, you will soon get tired of it.
Absolutely, the combination of equipment and skills is just the icing on the cake.
It just depends on when you get tired of it.
Um……
With this thought in mind, Frank continued to play.
Ta-ta-ta.
The sound of intensive mouse clicks began to echo in Frank's office...
And outside the floor-to-ceiling window of his office.
The scenery is constantly changing.
The sun sets.
The sky is filled with colorful clouds.
then.
The last ray of light on the horizon disappeared.
Night falls...
Ta-ta-ta.
But the intensive clicking of mouse keys in Frank's office did not stop.
Occasionally.
The mouse button sound will stop.
But it wasn't Frank who stopped playing, it was because the CG started playing.
After the CG broadcast.
soon.
The click-click sound of the keys will sound again.
Outside the office door.
Frank's secretary was quietly handling her own affairs, not curious about what her boss was doing at the moment.
It wasn't until after finishing her own affairs that she saw that Frank hadn't come out yet that she felt a little strange.
But she didn't know what happened, and she didn't dare to disturb Frank rashly. She could only wait quietly.
Soon.
Frank should be getting off work soon.
Then you can go back by yourself...
The secretary thought so and quietly touched the fish for a while.
Then.
Time continues to pass.
Snap.
From the office area outside the independent office, the sound of the switch coming was heard.
The staff have all left.
The lights were all turned off.
This made the secretary wake up suddenly, looked outside, and then looked at the time.
It's almost ten o'clock.
Frank would normally have left long ago at this time, why hasn't he come out yet?
Did you miss it?
The secretary had some doubts that he had missed it while fishing, but he took a look inside through the frosted glass.
The lights in Frank's office are still on.
What's going on today?
The secretary was even more confused.
She sat where she was, unable to fish anymore, restless, and wanted to go back.
But Frank is still here.
She could only wait patiently.
After being restless for a while, watching the time passing by, the secretary saw that there was still no movement in Frank's office.
Finally I couldn't sit still anymore.
She stood up, hesitated for a moment, and knocked gently on the door.
Dongdong.
Then, she opened the door directly.
"Boss, are you still there——"
The secretary poked his head in and was about to ask.
But the words are not finished yet.
Then she saw Frank.
now.
Frank was sitting in front of the computer, leaning forward slightly. The colorful lights on the screen reflected on his face, making his face colorful...
The ashtray next to him still had half a burning cigar.
But it looks like Frank hasn't touched it for a long time.
On the ashtray, a long section of ashes was gone.
And as the secretary spoke up.
Frank suddenly came back to his senses. He raised his head and looked at the door, with a surprised expression on his face and a hint of doubt: "Didn't you say don't disturb me?"
"Sorry, boss... it's a bit late. The staff have all left. I thought you weren't here, so I came in to take a look."
Seeing that Frank was still there, the secretary didn't know what he was doing, so he could only remind him tactfully.
Frank was stunned when he heard his secretary's words. Then he looked at the level 30 magician on his screen, looked at the legendary helmet Leoric's Crown he had just created, and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he raised his head again and asked: "...What time is it now?"
"Ten thirty," the secretary replied.
"..."
When Frank heard this, he opened his mouth slightly and stayed there for a long time.
Finally, he glanced at the screen again, then silently picked up the cigar on the ashtray, took a deep breath, let the smoke fill his mouth, and then slowly exhaled it.
Then, the whole person collapsed on the chair.
A little lonely...
"Boss..." the secretary said at the right time.
"You go back."
Frank waved his hand directly, with a look of despair on his face and said: "Leave me alone..."
