If we want to talk about Lin Yao's past life as a game star producer, then he basically can't avoid Japanese games.
In the early days of the Japanese game industry, game magazines such as FAMItsu often used titles such as "Father of XX" to promote some famous game producers in order to achieve better publicity effects.
This had a god-making effect and made a large number of game producers famous.
Even before Lin Yao traveled through time, there were still a large number of star producers active in the Japanese industry.
For example, the well-known Hideo Kojima, Hidetaka Miyazaki, etc.
The most well-known game producer is, of course, Shigeru Miyamoto, who is not on the front line, but is still called the "Father of Modern Games" by many game producers.
Some of these god-created producers who do not live up to their reputation have long since fallen from the altar and disappeared from the public.
Most of the ones that can still be remembered by players are really awesome and talented producers.
but.
To be honest, Lin Yao doesn't like this kind of star system for game producers.
It's not that they don't deserve it.
They are so well matched.
But this really depends on the times.
During the Miyamoto Shigeru era, a game only required a dozen people to develop, and if there were more people, it would only be dozens of people, so the producer could control every aspect.
It can be said.
Producers like Shigeru Miyamoto are able to have their current reputation because without him, Mario would not be able to come out...
But what about the new century?
As 3D games become mainstream, technology develops.
Times have changed dramatically, and hundreds of people are often involved in the development of a major game.
A project of this level has much higher requirements for producers.
Why do many fathers of XX fall from the altar?
It’s because they don’t have the ability to control such a large-scale project.
Rather, for subsequent large-scale game production, relying solely on one famous producer will no longer be able to make the entire game project run smoothly.
It's not easy for anyone to come.
Even if the producer is Hidetaka Miyazaki.
Compared to names like Hidetaka Miyazaki, names such as Hamatani, Hiro, and Yamamura Katsu are not as well-known.
But Kazuhiro Hamatani is the chief designer of "Bloodborne" and one of the supervisors of "Sekiro", and a large part of the credit for "Sekiro" having such an exciting combat system is due to combat designer Masaru Yamamura.
Hidetaka Miyazaki is indeed awesome, but the fact that his reputation continues is really not due to him alone, but because he has an entire team of talented people.
The situation at Linmu Studio is very similar.
Lin Yao's role has been compromised due to cheating...well, it is indeed a bit more important than the star producer in her previous life.
But in the final analysis, the contribution of the team cannot be ignored. If Lin Yao controlled an entire huge project team by herself, she would be exhausted to death.
At first she couldn't help it and didn't care too much.
But subsequently, as Linmu Studio expanded rapidly, its scale became larger and larger.
There were some issues she had to consider.
in addition.
Star producers, over time, will become the face of a game company.
for example.
Shigeru Miyamoto.
After decades of ups and downs, the father of modern gaming...
It's now Nintendo's face.
Today's Nintendo, no matter how many bad things happen behind the scenes, they will never let Shigeru Miyamoto's reputation be tarnished.
Not a speck of ashes can fall.
Not only should it not get dusty, but it should also be wiped clean from time to time.
For this reason, Shigeru Miyamoto, even if he is no longer on the front line, still has to stand up frequently to act as Nintendo's most eye-catching sign. After all, he is the face of Nintendo and he cannot fail.
The same goes for Linmu Studio.
Now Lin Yao is all about face.
If Lin Yao had no intention of running away.
She doesn't mind even if she retreats behind the scenes and still acts as Lin Mu Studio's face.
But she does...
This is very embarrassing.
Lin Yao is not like Shigeru Miyamoto. He is already in his twilight years and can be said to be retired.
She is still in her prime now...
More importantly, Lin Yao is not only a character like Shigeru Miyamoto in Linmu Studio, she also plays a role similar to Satoru Iwata...
If there is no foreshadowing.
Lin Yao ran away directly.
It’s okay that the innocent face is gone, but the person at the helm is gone too…
You can imagine.
What will happen then...
Anyway, Lin Yao made an analogy.
What if Nintendo was prospering in the previous life, Shigeru Miyamoto and Satoru Iwata, who were still alive, suddenly announced their departure, leaving the production line and the company, and then a bunch of nominal producers of the game left... After all, Linmu Studio's other games
, Lin Yao’s traces are also very heavy.
In short.
She imagined such a scene and felt it didn't work.
It's probably going to explode...
Let’s not talk about the outside first.
The company will explode first.
So after having the idea of running away.
She has been thinking about how to pave the way and how to minimize the impact, so as to achieve a smooth transition both on the player side and within the company.
This year's forest carnival is a test of the waters.
Lin Yao did not show up. Not only did she not show up, she did not even go to the scene.
The staff are not used to it.
But Lin Yao is still at the Linmu Studio headquarters after all, and she won't be leaving in the short term.
The explosion will definitely not happen.
At most, I felt very uncomfortable and muttered a few times.
And Lin Yao will continue step by step. Slowly, the staff may get used to it...
After all, both senior executives like Zhong Xiu and ordinary staff are mentally prepared.
Then the reaction to her running away will not be so big.
As for the player side.
Lin Yao's idea was equally simple: first not show up, and then slowly reduce her influence.
For example, next time, you may use a pseudonym to appear on the credits, or you may not appear at all.
And refused all reports and all opportunities to appear.
In short.
The solution used is the same.
And Lin Yao thinks that she just didn't show up at the carnival, and she's not running away now. She will still make games next, so the problem probably won't be too big.
This is also the reason why she is willing to make a bet with Zhong Xiu.
But man’s calculation is not as good as God’s calculation...
There was a snap.
This year's forest carnival is over.
There is no problem.
The problem is too big...
She just didn't show up at the carnival.
Players already feel that "Satoru Iwata" and "Shigeru Miyamoto" are going to be separated from the game and Linmu Studio...
This is really unacceptable to many players who have witnessed the rise of Linmu Studio.
Whether it is from an emotional level or a rational level.
The emotional aspect is of course because Lin Yao, the producer who has produced so many excellent games and has been with players all the way, is leaving.
On a rational level, I think about the future development of Lin Mu Studio. Without Lin Yao... is it really possible?
The two are intertwined.
The fact that Lin Yao was not shown up turned into the darkest moment in the gaming industry...
at the same time.
Because of that report and the reaction of players, the staff within Linmu Studio were also affected.
Everything is not what Lin Yao thought...
The situation started to run wild like a wild horse running wild...
Lin Yao was really confused.
Then soon, she realized that she couldn't just watch anymore.
She can only activate ‘Plan B’…
…
"Senior sister, what you are saying is that I have to carry this image, live broadcast, and interact with you and the players?"
Lin Yao's office.
Zhu Nianqiao held the drawing paper and looked at Lin Yao in disbelief.
"right."
Lin Yao nodded seriously: "You will wear this leather sheath from now on! You will be the steward of the maid! An outstanding employee who inherits Lin Yao's will! The great contributor to the embodiment of the maid! The number one virtual anchor! How about it?"
"Uh huh..."
When Zhu Nianqiao heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle: "I can't do it! Maid lady! Why me!? Can't you do it?"
"I can."
Lin Yao nodded, and then asked: "But can you conjure up another me? I want to show up, and I want to stabilize the morale of the army."
Zhu Nianqiao was speechless and said: "What should I change? If I could change, I would have changed myself and take it home..."
"What did you say!?" Lin Yao glared at her.
Zhu Nianqiao was not afraid, sighed, and then asked: "So what on earth is this? Senior sister."
"Leather case."
Lin Yao briefly explained: "You can understand it as a virtual live broadcast image. If you find it troublesome, you don't need to understand it. You will understand after the live broadcast... I will work with Qi Jianhua and motion capture on technical issues.
It will be solved in the room, you just need to show your usual lack of strength."
"..."
Hearing this, Zhu Nianqiao was silent for a while, then looked down at the drawing paper in his hand again, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "So, senior sister, you still have to leave, right?"
"Why leave? I'm not here now?"
Lin Yao was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and replied.
"If you want to be here, you have to live broadcast with this 'holster'."
Zhu Nianqiao raised his head, stared at Kazilan's big eyes, and looked at Lin Yao: "But you chose to show up in real life, isn't it just to appease the players and tell everyone that you are still there. And then through this 'holster', through a novel
Live broadcast, while diverting attention, can you completely finalize the replacement of the maid lady? And also pave the way for the future..."
Lin Yao looked at Zhu Nianqiao in surprise: "...I didn't expect you to be quite smart."
Zhu Nianqiao saw Lin Yao's expression and became a little anxious: "Sister, what kind of image do I have in your mind?"
"Didn't I just say that you are a weak girl?"
Lin Yao smiled softly and then explained: "It has nothing to do with whether I leave or not. Since the carnival is over and I have indeed not shown up, there is no reason to change it back... But the opinions of the players cannot be ignored, so I
This compromise solution was adopted.
The main reason why I don't wear this leather bag is because it is equivalent to denying this year's carnival measures, and it will be very difficult to handle next year.
And if someone else plays the role, it will be much easier to handle next year."
"Of course, if you really don't want to play the role, I can actually find an outside actor... but the effect may not be that good. After all, the actor is not as familiar with Linmu Studio as you are. You can think about it and give me an answer..."
"So are you sure you want to leave?" Zhu Nianqiao looked at Lin Yao and did not answer her, but asked relentlessly.
"...It's not about leaving, it's about resting."
Lin Yao knew that she couldn't be fooled, so she lightly flicked her ponytail and replied in a low voice.
"..."
Zhu Nianqiao lowered his head again and looked at the virtual image on the drawing paper in his hand, becoming a little frustrated.
"No, I'm not dead."
Lin Yao was a little amused. She took a few steps forward, rubbed her head and said, "I'll definitely come back, and I'm not leaving right away."
"Actually, it's almost like death..." Zhu Nianqiao muttered.
Lin Yao: "..."
"Hey, eh, it hurts."
The next second.
Zhu Nianqiao stood on tiptoes, her soft cheeks stretched high: "I didn't mean that! I just think that according to senior's temperament, if she decides to take a rest, she will definitely rest... After all, senior likes to be lazy at work.
of.
If you leave Linmu Studio and have no desires or desires, it will definitely be more exaggerated..."
"can you speak?"
Lin Yao laughed angrily: "And who can have no desires? You were deceived into developing the second part with Zhong Xiu at the time. You should know better than anyone how Lin Mu Studio is started. You think you are just
You have feelings for Linmu Studio, right?"
"..."
Zhu Nianqiao heard Lin Yao's words, blinked his eyes, and then couldn't help laughing.
She thought of her experience when she and Zhong Xiu were deceived together.
Who would have thought...
The second part of development, which was about to be finished at the beginning, inexplicably became today's Linmu Studio.
And she also went from a newly graduated intern to the director of the mainframe department of Linmu Studio...
"Okay, think about it."
Seeing Zhu Nianqiao's expression, Lin Yao smiled, let go of her face, and clapped her hands: "It depends on whether you want it or not. If you don't want to, just find another actor. It doesn't matter. At most, you just need to spend some time."
Get some training.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "No need to think about it, senior sister, you won't leave in the short term, right?"
Zhu Nianqiao came back to his senses and looked at Lin Yao: "And you will definitely come back in the future, right?"
"Um."
Lin Yao looked at Zhu Nianqiao, who was a head shorter than herself, and nodded seriously.
However, the next second, after seeing Zhu Nianqiao showing signs of raising his hand, she immediately took a step back and said, "Don't be so childish about pulling the hook."
Zhu Nianqiao immediately bared his teeth and said: "You are so naive! Who would do this! I just want to say, I agreed..."
Speaking of which.
She paused, then picked up the drawing paper in her hand, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Lin Yao with gleaming eyes: "Actually, to be honest, I really want to try it! It will be fun!"
"...Well, let's try it."
Seeing her appearance, Lin Yao couldn't help laughing and said: "Because you are not a commercial virtual anchor, you don't need to show up wearing this leather holster at other times except for carnivals. Of course, if you want to show up, let's talk about it separately.
Everything depends on your personal wishes."
Zhu Nianqiao nodded, and then asked curiously: "What about this live broadcast? Is there anything I need to pay attention to? Do I need a script?"
"There is no need for a script. You just need to follow your own temper. As for the precautions, the most important thing is of course not to leak information that shouldn't be leaked. You understand this even if I don't tell you."
Lin Yao raised her head and thought for a while, then continued to add: "Also, you can tease Zhong Xiu and the others, but only at work, and you can't talk about their personal affairs. As for the rest, it's the same as those game anchors."
"Then can I talk about you too?"
Zhu Nianqiao's face was slightly red, and she seemed a little excited.
"You can't talk about personal matters." Lin Yao hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Then let me tell you and Miss Mu's story..."
Zhu Nianqiao's eyes lit up and he immediately excitedly said that he wanted to tell the story of Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing.
But it has just begun.
"You're fired."
"……Eh!?"
at the same time.
Film and television department.
Zhong Xiu stood behind Qi Jianhua, looking at the virtual maid image on the screen with confusion on his face.
"You idiot... do you know what Lin Yao wants to do?"
Zhong Xiu glanced at the back of Qi Jianhua's head, finally couldn't help it, and asked.
"I don't know. Lin Yao asked me to cooperate. I'm a technician. You should ask Xi Qianyu about this."
Qi Jianhua replied without looking back: "Of course, if you ask me what I think, I can only say... I am preparing for the live broadcast."
"Nonsense, who doesn't know this is preparing for the live broadcast."
Zhong Xiu replied angrily.
Then, he looked at the screen again, touched his chin, and said: "What I want to ask is, do you have such a feeling? Although you can't understand it, you always feel that Lin Yao is doing a very new live broadcast...
"
"……have."
Qi Jianhua thought for a moment and nodded seriously.
…
After the forest carnival.
The entire gaming community is in chaos...
No one expected that the situation would turn into such an exaggerated situation just because Lin Yao did not show up at the carnival.
So, the next day.
Many game media have reported this "sad moment" for all players in the domestic game circle.
After all, all games have been affected.
No one can get around this topic.
Some of these game media did not mix personal feelings, but objectively narrated the events to all viewers; some analyzed the reasons why Lin Yao did not show up; of course, some also analyzed why the players were so excited.
.
What they said makes sense.
But the above types of reports are not the most common.
The majority of the reports are still about standing with the players and expressing their grief together...
The authors of these reports seem to know everything. When it comes to unbundling Lin Yao and Lin Mu Studio, it is revealed between the lines that this is correct.
But right is right, and at the end of their writing, they often end up with one sentence - [But even so, even if you know it is correct, it is really difficult for players to accept it.
After all, although the domestic game industry seems to be very prosperous now, the leader is actually Linmu Studio.
And this company will always bear the traces of Lin Yao that cannot be faded. Players have witnessed with their own eyes that under Lin Yao's leadership, Linmu Studio has launched countless excellent games.
Now that I have lost her, no matter who it is, as long as they are players, they will probably feel pessimistic.】
Reports like this have been all over the screen all day today...
After one day passed, the player not only did not feel better, but actually felt worse.
After all, all games were affected yesterday, and today they are bombarded with reports.
For many people who don’t play games, such as users of Youmedia technology products, this is certainly not a big deal.
But for traditional players.
I really haven't recovered from it today.
To some extent, this even affected the new games announced by Linmu Studio at the carnival.
Players are constantly browsing forums and reading reports.
Pre-sales of new games will inevitably be affected.
…
"I wonder what you will do this time? On one side is the right choice, on the other side are the players."
Sky Fox.
Mou Feng browsed through the forum, and then said softly: "If Lin Yao is allowed to put out the fire, everything will go round. If we stick to the current strategy and let Lin Yao continue to reduce his influence, we will probably have to face a long period of time."
I’ve been in labor pains for a while, it’s difficult..."
After he finished speaking, he leaned back.
Unconsciously, he put himself into Lin Yao's perspective.
It’s really difficult to think about it.
One day, game producers will be too important and popular with players, and it will become a problem...
Mou Feng smiled, a little envious, but also a little helpless.
He didn't know what Linmu Studio would do.
Anyway, in his opinion, this matter has no solution.
And this matter, no matter what Lin Mu Studio does, it will actually benefit Tianhu...
The worst is to maintain the status quo.
And if Lin Yao chose to put out the fire, he would actually be quite happy.
Mou Feng even expected such a result to happen...
So this time, Mou Feng felt more relaxed than ever.
In fact, not only Mou Feng thinks so...
Other colleagues at Linmu Studio also think so.
Although some of them feel uncomfortable.
But most of them still have the mentality of watching a movie, and just want to see what Lin Mu Studio will do.
Because in their view, Linmu Studio now only has two choices left.
No matter which one Linmu Studio chooses, it will ultimately benefit its peers...
No matter how bad it is, you can still make your colleagues feel comfortable.
After all, at the end of the day, it's not just the players who feel uncomfortable.
Many colleagues actually feel uncomfortable losing their flag.
Anyway, whatever happens is fine.
Colleagues will wait and see.
How will Linmu Studio choose...
…
The third day after the carnival ends.
The popularity of "Fantasy OL" in various regional servers is finally not so exaggerated.
It is a turn-based game after all.
The role of the World Channel is not just for players to brag about.
It also assumes the function of organizing field teams.
Many players have not cleared their daily routine for three days.
but.
Although not as exaggerated as the first day.
But words about Lin Yao can still be seen everywhere on the World Channel...
On the third day, the problem of screen spam has only been alleviated.
The situation of the renamed Chaohe forum is still the same as the previous two days.
All colleagues saw it.
If Linmu Studio doesn't come forward and say something, it is estimated that this matter will be difficult to end, and it is likely to have some unforeseen consequences.
In addition to peers, some players have also noticed it.
For example, Li Yu.
He also felt that given the current situation, Linmu Studio would have to come forward and say something anyway.
Otherwise, this will have an impact on the subsequent operations of Linmu Studio.
So he was a little absent-minded all day today.
Frequently open Linmu Studio’s official website and their social accounts.
Want to see if they have any new announcements or anything like that.
but.
He waited from morning until evening.
I haven’t waited for what I wanted…
On the subway.
Li Yu took out his phone again and opened Lin Mu Studio's social account.
Still haven't seen any new news.
He held the ring in the center of the subway car, with an undisguised look of disappointment on his face.
"Is this the case?"
Li Yu couldn't help but sigh, then subconsciously slid his finger and refreshed it again.
Ding dong——
Accompanied by refreshed sound effects.
A message that was just sent out popped up...
"..."
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then immediately lowered his head.
[June 17th! In order to give back to the audience, the host of the Forest Carnival will start his first game live broadcast! All players, please stay tuned!]
[In addition, it is said that there will be a mysterious guest named Lin at the scene~]
Dynamic content is simple.
As for the pictures.
There is only one picture. The main subject of the picture is a girl with twin ponytails, who looks very energetic and is wearing a maid uniform.
She smiled brightly and gestured with scissor hands.
She looks exactly the same as the maid lady who was the poster girl at the carnival two years ago.
But the hairstyle and some details don’t seem to match...
"..."
Li Yu looked at the updates posted by Lin Mu Studio's official account and slowly raised a question mark.
Game live broadcast???Mysterious guest named Lin???
