"To the Summit" is becoming more and more popular.
Some time ago, before the influence of "The Day of Reincarnation" was eliminated, "To the Summit" came out.
This has a really big impact on the entire gaming market.
If the investment in mobile games is just a pure imitation, it is completely incomparable with traditional games.
The production difficulty of mobile games is lower than that of any type of traditional games.
If it's just imitation.
But on the other hand, the money-making speed of this game is close to that of traditional games, or far exceeds that of traditional games.
Maybe Linmu Studio’s traditional games are different.
Because their traditional games also make money, whether they are online games or stand-alone games, they are selling like crazy.
Almost all of the most profitable mobile games and online games are owned by them.
For them.
No matter what game you play, you will make money, and it will be the same no matter what you do.
but.
For colleagues, this is different.
The investment in traditional games is too great, and there is an existence like Linmu Studio standing in front of us.
In most game types, there is no way to avoid the head-starting Linmu Studio game.
In this situation.
If the game doesn't come up with anything new or is fun enough, you really have no choice but to wait to die.
Although there are signs of this happening in mobile games now, and latecomers will also have to face Linmu Studio's mobile games, after all, this is an incremental market and has just started.
For example, "Ascend to the Top"...this game is not available on mobile phones owned by Jiaming Alliance.
Yes.
Many colleagues at Linmu Studio found that imitating card-drawing games such as "The Day of Reincarnation" and "Under the Dark Night" were not successful.
They went back to their old ways.
Instead, he turned his attention to the Jiaming Alliance.
I want to make a MOBA mobile game for this platform...
certainly.
Not all colleagues think so.
Most game companies that have a clear understanding of the situation actually know that after the release of Future S2, the next mobile phone will definitely be Future.
Although purely imitating card-drawing mobile games will not work well on Future series mobile phones.
After all, in this world, the launch of high-quality mobile games is too fast... Linmu Studio immediately launched the most mature card-drawing mobile game, and then came Tianhu, a competitor to Linmu Studio, which directly caused chaos.
The battle time was greatly shortened.
Most of the imitations have not had time to be released to public beta, and "To the Top" has come out again... It can be said that there is a wolf in front and a tiger in the back.
But in the final analysis, the market for card-drawing mobile games is far from saturated, and there is still a large audience.
As long as you create something new and do it well enough, there will definitely be players who will play it.
But MOBA mobile games are different. It’s not that they can’t be imitated, but it’s just too difficult.
As soon as "Ascend to the Top" was released, there were nearly 70 heroes of different shapes and various mechanisms.
It can be said that this is a manifestation of Lin Mu Studio’s heritage.
It is much more difficult to create a comparable mobile MOBA game than a comparable mobile card drawing game.
If you take advantage of Jiaming Alliance's mobile phone users' desire to play MOBA mobile games to launch a poor imitation, you can certainly make money.
but.
Finally, after going around for a while, you will come back to where you started.
Poor imitations cannot retain users. Once the regular army goes down, such as Lin Mu Studio, the poor imitations will instantly lose their armor...
When the market stabilizes, these poor imitations will be eliminated immediately.
Just like the traditional game market, the emergence of Linmu Studio directly caused most of the shoddy games to disappear, and even forced Tianhu to make changes in order to maintain its share.
For a quick buck.
Facing the huge and rising mobile game market.
Is it really worth it?
Everyone has an answer to this question.
Some people value future profits and choose to insist on making innovative card-drawing mobile games, pursuing long-term stability, even if they face Linmu Studio mobile games, and want to make players remember their company.
, seeking a larger market in the future.
Some people value short-term gains and want to make quick money. After all, making high-quality mobile games requires investment of energy and manpower, and it may not necessarily be successful, so it is better to make quick money.
can only say.
All make sense.
But no matter which category our colleagues at Linmu Studio fall into.
Which category do the companies in the entire domestic gaming market belong to?
Their operations are the same.
Whether it's making high-quality products or making crude imitations... we are all making mobile games.
During this period, the heads of countless game companies have stated publicly or privately more than once that they will focus on mobile games next.
Even for game companies that have not made a public statement, the changes in the internal wind direction are obvious and the staff can easily detect them.
compare to.
There is very little news about traditional games.
All are mobile games.
In that original post, some players said that mobile games will increase in the future and traditional games will decrease. It can be said that it was a prophecy.
And it came true very quickly.
Because the popularity of "To the Top" has skyrocketed so quickly.
Players forum.
This is not just something players occasionally mention, but has become a hot topic.
【Mobile games are gaining momentum recently.】
The most representative post is probably this one.
Most of the players who responded below have also noticed the relevant changes.
"Not only is it fierce, all game companies have turned around. When "The Day of Samsara" was launched, some people were still hesitant, thinking that the audience for this type of card-drawing game was limited and could not replace traditional games, but now "The Summit" is a
Coming out... directly proves that the type of mobile games is not only about drawing cards, nor only players who have been exposed to games will be interested, but can also attract ordinary people who have never been exposed to games. Who can resist this!"
"I work for a rubbish game company, and the boss has decided to imitate "The Summit" and go to the Jiaming Alliance mobile platform to make quick money. [Speechless]"
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Sure enough, I guessed that it would turn out like this when the mobile game "To the Top" came out, and I was right... This is the general trend.
, the real era of mobile games will usher in next.”
“Fuck, Jiaming Alliance mobile phone feels like it’s going to be a mess again. If it’s like last time, I’ll switch to Future S2 right away. No kidding, I originally thought I could use it, but if there are imitation mobile games everywhere, I’ll
I really can’t stand it anymore.”
"Brothers upstairs, please change as soon as possible. Jiaming Alliance is not worth it. It is just a trash can. Every time Lin Mu Studio comes with a wave of big moves, Lin Mu Studio's colleagues feel that they can't beat it, so they just go to Jiaming Alliance and wait..."
"Everyone is making mobile games. I don't know what Linmu Studio will become. I hope they can withstand it! I also want to play more traditional games."
"You can't stand it...Although there will be no shortage of traditional games, there will definitely not be as many as before."
"[sad]."
"..."
The transformation of the entire game market is obvious to everyone.
Among them, the Jiaming Alliance is the most innocent.
They also feel that they have become a trash can and are very angry.
These game companies are here again, right?
They have always wanted to take off the bad hat and want to benchmark Future S2, and now they want to put the hat back on me?
After realizing that this group of game companies wanted to bring crude imitation mobile games to the Jiaming Alliance.
Some members of the Jiaming Alliance, such as Yu Tianbo, immediately proposed strengthening the review standards during this period.
but.
This proposal was met with only silence.
Jiaming Alliance is too big.
The size of each member is also different.
"To the Summit"... is really popular, but Jiaming Alliance really can't make it.
If other game manufacturers are willing to produce such games, it seems to be a good thing to appease Jiaming Alliance users who are ready to change their mobile phones.
At least it can barely keep its share.
Even if it's a crude imitation.
Aren’t Jiaming Alliance’s mobile phones cheap?…
Yu Tianbo of Tianyu Group noticed the silence of his allies and immediately knew what they were thinking.
All I could do was sigh.
The opposite of the alliance, the problems caused by too many people are clearly demonstrated at this moment...
…
certainly.
None of the above has anything to do with Linmu Studio.
Although the direction of the entire market has indeed changed.
But no one knows what is going on inside Linmu Studio better than the internal staff.
To sum it up in one sentence:
Linmu Studio is making mobile games, and the mobile game department has even begun to consider launching a new "To the Summit" hero.
But on the other hand.
Linmu Studio also makes traditional games.
And...it's not as simple as one or two new games.
The change in the direction of the entire industry has not affected Lin Yao's strategy.
Most of the staff of Linmu Studio do not have to worry about the company falling behind in the mobile game market and eventually becoming a lonely loser in the new era.
After all, the most popular mobile games now are owned by Linmu Studio!
On the other hand, most of the staff who have grown up with Linmu Studio and joined Linmu Studio because of its traditional games will not feel that their favorite things have been eliminated.
Both the PC department and the console department are firing on all cylinders during this time!
Don't say eliminated.
There are almost not enough people.
The interior is very harmonious.
As for players’ concerns.
Although the staff of Linmu Studio cannot leak secrets, occasionally they will reply to players using their private accounts without disclosing anything. They just say, 'It is better to worry about your wallet than to worry about Linmu Studio!'
As for Lin Yao...
Of course, the established strategy cannot be changed.
But it would be a bit exaggerated to say that the changing trend of the entire industry has not affected her at all.
In fact, the impact is still there.
She's ready to make her next mobile game!
It’s not that she’s afraid of missing out, but with the launch of Future S2, smartphones are about to usher in a time of comprehensive evolution, and there is a mobile game that she feels is time to move out.
Of course, the most important thing is that she was also very interested in this mobile game at the time, but she had never played it seriously in China.
She also wants to play and see...
The mobile game department of Linmu Studio has basically nothing to do with the "Love Letter" project. Lin Yao's proposal of a new project is not considered random.
"Pokémon Mobile Game?"
Mu Wanqing stood beside Lin Yao and asked curiously.
"yes."
Lin Yao nodded happily, then lowered his head and sketched Pokémon while explaining: "Our console department launches Pokémon games every year, it's time to see what the impact is!"
"But wouldn't that conflict with the Pokémon games on consoles?"
Mu Wanqing continued to ask: "After all, this type of game itself is light enough. If you can still play it on your mobile phone..."
"no the same."
Lin Yao interrupted Mu Wanqing directly and raised her head: "In this mobile game, we will take advantage of the characteristics of smartphones, which is simply the camera."
"Camera? What does mobile games have to do with cameras?" Mu Wanqing became even more confused.
"AR technology, have you heard of it?"
Lin Yao explained with a smile: "To put it simply, it is a technology that cleverly integrates virtual information with the real world. After simulating computer-generated text, images, three-dimensional models, music, videos and other virtual information, it is applied to the real world.
The two types of information complement each other, thereby achieving 'enhancement' of the real world.
Although "Pokémon Go" is not an AR mobile game in the strict sense, it is the easiest concept to understand."
There is also the concept of AR here, which is nothing new.
Lin Yao checked it specifically, but there were relatively few application scenarios.
In fact, the application scenarios of AR in Lin Yao's previous life were not many, at least not for consumer-grade products.
"AR...how can this be made into a mobile game?"
Mu Wanqing has also heard of AR, but she doesn’t understand how it has anything to do with mobile games.
"This has to do with YouMedia Technology, safe travel, meal delivery, and WeChat. Our electronic map service provider Jingwei Maps."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lin Yao adjusted her sitting posture, straightened her waist, and explained: "This game will be the first to use LBS technology and GPS positioning to combine virtuality and reality.
Mobile games... To put it simply, they apply virtual information to the real world through computer technology, allowing real environments and virtual objects to be superimposed on the same screen in real time.
The final result is that users can see virtual creatures in the real world...that is, our Pokémon."
Speaking of which.
Lin Yao picked up the Pokémon illustrations on the table and showed them to Mu Wanqing.
"Players will experience a new and interesting gameplay when they open the game. They only need to call the camera to see the existence of the elf in the real environment and then capture it."
Lin Yao shook the Pokémon illustration in her hand, then chuckled: "Understood? We want to connect the game with the real world! Let users find the real game feeling in the real world! Weaken the virtuality of ordinary games
Sense...how could this affect the orthodox sequel of "Pokémon"?"
"..."
Mu Wanqing finally understood, although there were still many things she didn't understand.
However, she understood the general outline of the Pokémon mobile game that Lin Yao said.
Combining virtual and reality...
Although I have lamented it many times.
but.
Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao, who was showing the Pokémon illustrations and her fair and beautiful face was full of smiles. She couldn't help but sigh and sighed secretly.
Really... amazing!
You can think of such a way to play...it's very interesting just thinking about it!
Lin Yao couldn't help seeing that Mu Wanqing remained silent.
"Why are you staring at me? Give me your thoughts."
"I think you are very powerful."
"Ah?...Hmm."
"..."
…
Just when Lin Yao was introducing to Mu Wanqing the next mobile game that Lin Mu Studio would make.
external.
In the end, the Jiaming Alliance did not pass Yu Tianbo’s proposal to strengthen the review conditions.
They still compromised...for now.
Although the players don't know that Lin Yao has already started planning the next mobile game.
But the change in market trends is obvious.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether you know it or not.
Players have already started calling for Linmu Studio to stop it.
This is the only pure land in their minds. They must not reduce the number of traditional games!
Especially after Tianhu also announced that it will continue to increase investment in mobile games.
This is really the only pure land.
Players have already begun to inquire about the Linmu E-Sports Festival at the end of the year, and want to know how many traditional games Linmu Studio will announce by then.
but.
The players inquired about it for a few days and then gave up.
Because they soon discovered that there was no need to ask...
Linmu Studio announced it themselves.
This is not news from the E-Sports Festival.
But... a traditional game!
End of October.
On the Vaporwave game platform, in the most conspicuous place on the homepage, a promotional picture of the game suddenly appeared!
