"Wait! Wait...Who is the guy chasing after me! Give me some face!!! Let me go! Please! Let me go!!!"
Forest carnival.
The third day.
Trial area.
Li Yu was wearing headphones, listening to the increasing volume of the heartbeat coming from the headphones as the killer approached, and his palms began to sweat like crazy.
At the same time, he felt his heartbeat begin to accelerate, like a drum hammer.
A thumping sound.
At this moment, Li Yu even suspected that everyone next to him could hear his heartbeat...
In fact, he was worrying too much about this.
Others are not that keen. As long as they are not pressed against his chest, it is impossible to hear his heartbeat.
And others are not so free and will put their heads on his chest.
but.
Although the onlookers behind him did not hear his heartbeat... they saw his stiff movements and his side face that was red with excitement.
His expression was really visibly nervous.
certainly.
What the onlookers paid more attention to was not the player Li Yu, but the game displayed on the screen in front of Li Yu.
The game he was trying out at this time was "Dead by Daylight".
In a gloomy and bleak map with a darker tone.
A large number of black and red brick walls are looming in the moonlight.
Under the pale moonlight, the survivors controlled by Li Yu were staggering and screaming forward.
And the dull footsteps behind him followed him like a shadow.
Sharp and manic drumbeats sounded.
Directly filling up the pressure...
And this is exactly the reason why Li Yu just shouted.
Because he is afraid...
but.
His roar was not heard by the player playing the killer, but instead shocked the onlookers behind him.
After all, everyone was watching him play attentively.
He came out of nowhere...
But everyone watching can also understand.
After all, just by looking at it, they felt that the atmosphere of the game was created really well. To put it simply, it was scary.
Not to mention playing.
Moreover, watching other people play horror games is actually quite interesting...
The onlookers all looked at the screen attentively.
After Li Yu yelled in front of the screen, he found that the killer behind him still did not give up or continue to beg for mercy. Instead, he turned around and ran into the room, trying to use his position to get rid of the player playing the killer.
However, the pressure from the killer behind him was too great.
The sound effects and images are all exerting pressure.
He couldn't fight against the opponent, which made Li Yu really feel like he was in a horror movie.
This made him more and more nervous...more and more nervous.
Then, the cry of the chainsaw before the chainsaw killer sprinted became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
A killer wielding a chainsaw rushed behind him, and instantly reached behind the character played by Li Yu, and hit him with a single blow.
The survivors screamed and fell to the ground instantly.
Li Yu immediately got excited and threw the mouse in his hand with a clang.
Behind him, there was also a low cry and laughter.
"Zi——"
After knocking Li Yu down, the killer waved the chainsaw arrogantly, then picked him up, took him to the hook, and hung him up as a survivor.
So far.
The character played by Li Yu has temporarily withdrawn from the game. He can only press the escape button to gamble on the odds, or wait for his teammates to come to rescue him.
The killer didn't guard him either. After hanging him up, he turned around and walked into the dense forest.
The sizzling sound of the chainsaw starting up gradually faded away.
And then, the screams of other escapees rang out...
finally.
The escapee camp played by Li Yu still lost.
Because everyone is new to the game, although the killer side is from the first perspective, its strong power is a natural advantage.
"It's so cool! I hooked them all!"
The game is over.
A player in front of a trial computer not far away immediately stood up and waved his fist excitedly.
He is obviously playing the role of a killer.
Li Yu glanced at the other person, then moved the mouse reluctantly, and finally looked at the end page of the game, then stood up and gave up his position to others.
Although very sad.
But we are all players, so there is still a tacit understanding.
And behind.
Others who had already queued up could not wait any longer. They glanced at their number plates and then rushed forward.
soon.
The next batch of trial players sat in front of the computer and started the next game.
Li Yu left the trial area and looked back.
I found that there was a long queue behind me.
However, Li Yu didn't find it strange, but took it for granted.
"Really interesting."
Recalling his feelings when he just played the game, he walked to the "Hollow Knight" trial area where there was also a long queue and queued up. He picked up his Future S1 and logged into the game circle.
I’m going to share my experience of trying out the game.
Just looking at the game and playing it are different.
Going to the Forest Carnival every year, in addition to the different emotional atmosphere, the biggest practical benefit is that you can try out the new games released that year.
This is something that viewers in the live broadcast room cannot experience.
But they are curious.
So at this time, players on the scene need to share their feelings.
As for sharing trial experience, Li Yu has been doing it since the first session.
His ID is also quite famous in the forum.
but.
This year he came late.
Some players have already shared their feelings about playing the game and even filmed live footage of the game.
Linmu Studio does not prohibit this.
Li Yu saw the introduction post and didn't mind.
I just gave up the idea of posting and instead clicked on the post that was pinned to the top yesterday - [The characters in "Dead by Daylight" were also drawn by Lin Yao! ]
Li Yu directly skimmed the text and then came to the comment area.
really.
The reply that said Lin Yao looked like a yandere still received the most likes...
Far ahead.
Just compared to yesterday.
After the trial opening of four new games today.
There are more replies from the floor.
"I have played it, and I testify that Lin Yao just wants to make us scared. The atmosphere of the game is really so interesting [crying]."
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I am so nervous to play the role of a survivor [crying], the sound effects are absolutely amazing, but it is a pity that the person chasing behind me is a big man. If it were a beautiful girl...
Okay, I'm willing to take it easy."
"You are still a beautiful girl. No matter how scary the sound effects are with the beautiful girl, you will still giggle, right? Don't go crazy here!"
"Why can you discuss Lin Yao in a serious analysis post by my poster, and the number of likes is more than four times higher than the second reply..."
"Because I miss you. For whatever reason, I want to see Lin Yao. Lin Yao gave me my whole youth!"
"..."
Li Yu looked at the latest reply from Louzhonglou.
Smiled softly.
Then he also opened the comment box and replied: "I also testify that the game is indeed great, it has the flavor of a horror movie! The atmosphere is amazing!"
After replying.
He liked other people's replies one by one, and then put away his phone.
"Hey, hey, it's so smooth..."
"So cute, holy shit, I actually think bugs are cute!"
"Ah...how do I jump over this?"
"..."
ahead.
You can vaguely hear the players talking.
Although "Dead by Daylight" attracts the most attention.
But the other three games are not unpopular.
For example, Li Yu's current trial queue is also not short... Players are also surprised by the game.
Li Yu followed the players in front again and came to the middle and front of the team. Then he looked up at the trial area and smiled softly.
Then.
He turned and looked at several other trial areas.
He just came out of the demo area for "Dead by Daylight" and stopped mentioning it.
There are two other trial areas, "Dead Cells" and "Naughty Kitchen".
There are also a lot of people queuing up.
And the official trial area.
"Dead Cells" and "Hot Kitchen", including "Hollow Knight" that Li Yu is currently scheduling, have thoughtfully prepared two operating solutions: keyboard, mouse and controller.
Players are free to choose their own preferred mode of operation.
During the trial, no one will teach the players how to play the game, everything is up to the players to explore freely.
The staff in the demo area only maintain order and solve hardware problems.
As for how players play, they won't say much.
But even so.
Every player who tried it was very happy...
"That's so cool! Can 2D games be that cool?"
"Swipe, swipe, swipe... This kind of meat pigeon game is so exciting, each time the weapons are different, and each time there are different attack methods."
"Brother, come and try it, this is so cool!"
"..."
Li Yu could still hear the shouts of several loud players in the "Dead Cells" division.
Many players don't even know each other.
But we were able to chat directly together, and even asked the buddy next to me to try it...
As for the trial area of "Naughty Kitchen" which is further away.
I can't hear the sound.
But Li Yu could see the expressions of the players over there.
Most of them are good friends playing, and there are also a few couples playing.
But whether they are gay friends or a couple, they all have smiles on their faces.
While playing, you have to turn around and talk to your companions.
Even from a distance, you can feel their happiness.
Happy from the bottom of my heart.
Li Yu looked around, seeing countless happy, expectant, or enthusiastic players, and felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
At the same time, I also like this activity from the bottom of my heart.
It's really great...
There is such an event every year...
Every year, Lin Yao’s Linmu Studio brings players a new and different gaming experience.
No matter what type of game you like.
No matter what kind of player he is.
Everyone can find fun here.
No matter what kind of game it is, as long as it is produced by Linmu Studio, you will find fun once you get started...
I wonder what surprises Linmu Studio will give you next?
I wonder what kind of activities will be held at the forest carnival next year?
Two questions suddenly popped up.
Li Yu smiled softly, feeling even more excited.
Looking forward to the next meeting.
Looking forward to the closing ceremony.
Looking forward to the release of new games.
Looking forward to next year's carnival.
certainly.
We are also looking forward to Lin Yao’s brilliant appearance at the closing ceremony this year and the possible big events...
After all, she didn't even show up for the opening ceremony.
After the four new games were announced, they were basically confirmed, and they are still inextricably related to her.
Whether you say you are greedy for her body, you feel you cannot live without her, or you simply want to hear more news about Linmu Studio from her mouth.
In short.
Everyone really wants to see her.
Including Li Yu...
"This player, please come forward, it's your turn."
The staff member's reminder woke up Li Yu, who was slightly in a trance.
Li Yu smiled apologetically, then immediately walked to the monitor, no longer thinking about anything else, but focused on the game.
soon.
He took hold of the handle.
The trial of the second game has started.
"Jiang Zi makes a 2D game!?"
Then.
Li Yu's surprised voice rang out...
…
The third day of the carnival.
Basically, they are major version updates of existing games.
In fact, after Linmu Carnival came out, each project team of Linmu Studio adjusted the update rules of the game.
Important updates in spring and summer will be placed in the carnival.
As for autumn and winter, most of them will be held during the E-Sports Festival or the Spring Festival.
Players also know the rules.
At present, because Linmu Studio has too many games, some games may not be able to hold separate meetings because they do not have much updated content.
but.
Linmu Studio will not forget the players of these games.
In the afternoon of that day, the Forest Carnival held a planning meeting.
At the meeting, basically the producers and planners of existing games will come forward.
As for the main content of the meeting, it is very simple, just one word - chat.
Answer questions that players are interested in, note down problems players encounter in the game, and explain some game updates that don’t require a special meet-and-greet meeting.
Such an event may not be as explosive as the announcement of a new game.
But the number of viewers in the live broadcast room was no less than yesterday.
Because Linmu Studio’s existing games occupy a large share of the domestic game market...
So many players... cannot be underestimated, and they actually care more about the dynamics of the games they are playing than new games.
After all, the most important thing about running a game is updates.
A game should not be updated for a long time, or the updates should be perfunctory, such as not updating for two years, and then suddenly bring out a cold dish, saying that this is a new game... but in fact there is not much content at all.
Players can be pissed to death.
No matter how good the game is, it can't be messed with like this...
So the new game is more topical.
But in the final analysis, the foundation of the carnival is still existing old games.
Lin Mu Studio also valued it very much and gave me the longest time.
And this year’s old games are updated.
Players are generally very satisfied.
Even "Fantasy OL", Linmu Studio's first game, launched major version updates such as new characters, new levels, and new weapons at the carnival.
What else can players be dissatisfied with...
That evening.
Linmu Studio.
Lin Yao started checking the feedback from today's carnival as usual.
She is also quite satisfied with the feedback from players.
Except for that pinned post...
"Damn it, why haven't I deleted it yet? I'm crazy! I'm so yandere!?"
Lin Yao clicked on the post again, looked at it, and then complained.
That 'hey hey hey' reply is still there...
"..." When Mu Wanqing heard this, she lowered her eyes and couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you laughing? Do you think so?" Lin Yao glanced at Mu Wanqing.
"Well, if I could put on Lolita and little leather shoes, and then look down with a sick expression..."
Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao and then started talking about the yandere in her imagination.
"Stop, stop, stop."
Lin Yao interrupted her and said angrily: "You still want to embody the image of a yandere, right?"
Mu Wanqing smiled, and then whispered: "...I want to see it."
"roll."
Lin Yao rolled her eyes at her and was about to continue talking when there was a knock on the door.
She could only swallow her words, looked at the door, and said please come in.
"Lin Yao, do you still need to reserve time for planning the meeting tomorrow?"
Zhong Xiu opened the door directly and came in, then asked straight to the point.
Although I was shouting "It's all over" like a defeated dog yesterday, today I'm full of energy again.
have to say.
His professionalism is still top-notch.
"Well, what's wrong? Compared with the first carnival, we have a lot more games, and it will definitely not be the same as in previous years."
Lin Yao heard Zhong Xiu's question and replied.
"It's nothing... I just feel that the time for this meeting is too long. It's half a day longer than in previous years."
Zhong Xiu explained: “But all game updates have already been introduced.”
"I reserved this time specially at the beginning."
Lin Yao smiled and explained: "There are too many updates this year, and there is not much time left to answer questions, right?"
"That's true." Zhong Xiu nodded.
"So tomorrow is the time for you to check and fill in the gaps. You can listen to what the players have to say. The trial has just been opened, and the first batch of players should already be trialing it."
Lin Yao turned her head and glanced at the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window behind her, and then said: "After playing it, players will be more impressed and have more questions."
"That's right..." Zhong Xiu nodded.
"..."
Lin Yao glanced at his expression, thought for a while, and explained: "Don't be annoyed, even if it's an old game from before, a thousand-mile dike collapsed in an ant nest."
"I know better than you that games also have a lifespan. Even if the game does not have a lifespan, as time goes by, the game carrier will die out or evolve over time... It is difficult for a game that operates permanently to exist."
"The game that players are excited about now may not be remembered by many in a few decades."
"This is an objective fact. I can't change it, and I don't want to change it. I just hope that our games, no matter what the game is, can stand with the players no matter what the future holds."
"It can retain the original beauty in the hearts of players."
"Even if everything comes to an end, it can still be decent."
"Instead of saying - 'You were a legend, but look at what you are now'."
Speaking of which.
Lin Yao paused and continued: "It is not easy to do this. Getting close enough to the players may be a good solution."
Hearing this, Zhong Xiu looked back behind him, and then softly replied thoughtfully: "...I understand."
"This is too exaggerated."
Mu Wanqing smiled gently, and then said: "Even for our first game "Fantasy OL", the revenue and number of online users have never dropped off a cliff. In fact, many peers are still coveting "Fantasy OL".
Where is the running water of OL》.”
"That's true."
Lin Yao didn't mind Mu Wanqing's trouble, but smiled brightly and said: "But it's better to take precautions before it happens."
"... Take precautions before things happen."
Zhong Xiu glanced at Lin Yao, his feeling became stronger, and he sighed softly.
"Speaking of which, are you ready?" Lin Yao noticed Zhong Xiu's expression, but said nothing.
This is not like running away right away.
At least she has to wait until her cheap dad comes out.
No hurries.
"What are you preparing for?" Zhong Xiu stopped thinking deeply and asked curiously.
"The last meeting tomorrow afternoon."
Lin Yao joked: "You won't mess up your hair on purpose, right?"
"You can insult me, but don't insult my hair."
Zhong Xiu's face changed, and then he said decisively: "When I put my hair up, my hair and I were already ready! This poured out my faith! If I were to be sneaky about this kind of thing,
, that is equivalent to denying my belief!
Men’s beliefs are not that cheap! Bastard!”
"..."
He looked at Zhong Xiu who was serious.
Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing both had black lines on their faces.
…
soon.
The fourth day of the Forest Carnival has arrived.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And today’s schedule is out.
The players were also quite surprised.
There was actually a planning meeting...
After being surprised, most players still chose to participate.
Just as Lin Yao expected.
In fact, players still have many questions that they want to ask the planners.
so.
Even though there was a planning meeting yesterday, today's meeting was still packed.
Players who play different games have raised completely different questions and suggestions.
One morning.
There was no time for planning on the stage.
Zhong Xiu also attended this meeting.
He witnessed this scene with his own eyes.
Really admire...
Not only did Lin Yao not show up this time, she even came to the scene during the preparatory stage.
Not only players, but even within Linmu Studio.
She began to deliberately downplay her influence and let the staff take charge alone.
Many staff members are uncomfortable with this.
The reason why Zhang Tian and Wang Mang hurriedly came to see Lin Yao after the last meeting was over.
It's because she wasn't there.
but.
Even if Lin Yao doesn't show up.
Even if she didn't even go to the scene.
She is still the one who understands players best... She is really more like a player than a producer.
It's really awesome.
It's really hard to imagine what it would be like when she's not around...
Thinking of this, Zhong Xiu smiled softly, then sighed softly and continued to answer the player's questions.
The whole morning meeting.
In the midst of intense Q&A, it passed.
The players began to leave the game and went to eat in groups of twos and threes while discussing the games they played.
And the other side.
Zhong Xiu also returned to the lounge, eating and preparing for the last meeting in the afternoon.
time flies.
afternoon.
The main venue is open.
The last meeting has begun.
At the last meeting of this year’s carnival, players seemed to have a hunch that there might be something big going on.
So very positive.
There are still twenty minutes left before everyone is here.
The main stage was filled with people.
Admission gate.
Even after going through so much.
Zhong Xiu was still a little nervous.
Fortunately, it gave him enough time to adjust...
Twenty minutes later.
Zhong Xiu took a deep breath, stopped thinking about his hair, and stopped thinking about Lin Yao. He cleared his mind, and then... walked onto the stage.
Huge cheers.
It suddenly broke out.
This time it was Zhong Xiu, the head of the PC department!
When the players saw him, they immediately knew that they had guessed correctly. It was a big job!
He was immediately welcomed with the warmest cheers.
But Zhong Xiu stood in the middle of the stage and couldn't find a chance to speak for two whole minutes.
"Hello everyone, I am Zhong Xiu."
"I will introduce the game for the last meeting to everyone."
finally.
During the second wave of cheers, Zhong Xiu found an opportunity and spoke the opening remarks.
Then.
The cheers started again.
Zhong Xiu smiled, ignored it, and let them cheer.
When they stopped naturally, he continued:
"This new game is very interesting."
"Mainly this type of game, our Linmu Studio has only done it once."
"Yes, this is a game type that our Linmu Studio has only done once... Can you think of anything?"
"No? Then let me give you one more reminder. That game is exclusive to switch."
"It's still a masterpiece of escort..."
Zhong Xiugang uttered the words 'escort masterpiece'.
Off stage.
The expressions of the players who were closer changed instantly.
First there was confusion, then surprise, and then... ecstasy!
And then.
A huge noise that seemed to tear the roof off erupted.
That’s the cheers of the players!
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
A game type that Linmu Studio has only made once!
Combined with the tips given by Zhong Xiu.
It’s really easy to guess!
——Open world!!!
Blizzard is considered completely dead... in fact, it has been dead for a long time, but it has been surviving for a long time relying on the legacy left by its glory days.
Thinking about the Blizzard games I have played, I will not mention World of Warcraft.
Ever since I couldn’t choose the same heroes in Overwatch, I felt that the fun was greatly reduced. Later, after the horizon map came out, I stopped playing.
I have been playing Diablo III for a long time.
In the past two months, I also tried out the gameplay of the new season Angel's Crucible. It was quite interesting, but it only lasted three days.
Hearthstone is the game I have played the longest, and I also pre-ordered the expansion pack of Unicron.
But because I became busier and busier, and I really didn’t adapt to the wild mode environment after the release of the Rupture expansion pack, I got an A.
Then there are other miscellaneous games, such as Warcraft and StarCraft.
When I was a kid, I could basically open an Internet cafe.
But for the reset version, let me just say it straight, it won’t work.
I used to be considered a liar.
But, they've definitely changed...just look at Nintendo.
For a while, they were also criticized for having to rely on old IP, but what have they done in the past few years?
Let me just say one thing, Nintendo's rare new IP "Splatoon" was released in 2015! It was one year earlier than Overwatch. Now that Splatoon 3 has been released, Blizzard has brought a return.
It doesn't even give players a chance to complain about server problems.
…
I didn't ask for the electronic urn yesterday, I just threw it away.
Ashes to ashes to ashes to dust.
The current Blizzard is just like that sentence says.
