There's really something wrong with this online game plan

Chapter 508 My tm is weak...

The penultimate day of the 'Forest Carnival'.

Or more accurately, the last day.

Because although the carnival will be open tomorrow, Linmu Studio will not announce any game-related information.

Instead, leave a full day for players to try out the announced games and hold the closing ceremony.

This is an arrangement that takes many aspects into consideration.

In addition to the Pie Painting Conference of the PC department, there is also a new game to be announced today.

After completing this set of procedures, there is not much time left in the end, and the trial play can only be put on the next day.

On the other hand, considering that the May Day holiday is only five days away, many players may need to go to work on the sixth day, so it is the most sensible choice to focus on the holidays.

On the last day, only the demo and the closing ceremony are held, so that some players can go to work with peace of mind, and then watch the demo and closing ceremony with a lower priority than the announcement of the new game through live broadcast or video.

Of course, if you can.

Forest Studio certainly hopes that more players will participate in the final day of activities.

Sometimes, however, reality must be considered.

The final process is determined anyway.

The related schedule has also been announced.

Day five as the finale.

Players also know that there will be no new game announced tomorrow, so after the baptism of "Diablo" yesterday, they have very high expectations for the new game that will be ranked on the last day.

After all, in general activities, the beginning and the end are the most important.

At first the players were satisfied.

Check out the new game announcement on the penultimate day now!

And today's carnival schedule is quite full.

And it was very unexpected... The meeting that could have been put on the main axis stage to discuss the future development plan of the PC department of Linmu Studio was put in the morning.

According to the introduction on the official website, this meeting involves the development plan of the entire PC department.

The whole PC department.

Isn't this the big axis?
Not even the finale?
This aroused the strong interest of the players. As soon as the 'Carnival' venue opened that day, a group of players rushed in. Many people didn't even care about the trial game. Miss COS didn't even look at it, and went directly to the branch. venue.

It was nearly nine o'clock.

The entire sub-venue was almost full.

In the venue, the first row.

Yi Wenwen looked at the overcrowded venue, and then talked to Li Yu, who had been getting to know Li Yu for the past few days, and said, "What do you say... what will be announced in the afternoon? Meetings of this level are all held in the morning. "

"I don't know either, who knows what surprises Forest Studio will bring, I have given up predicting them."

Li Yu shrugged, and then complained: "It's better to say, I'm more interested in whether Lin Yao will show up or not...Damn it! The young ladies outside don't have that kind of charming feeling at all, and I still look forward to long hair and shawls Lin Yao is here, but she came out twice during the entire carnival, and the second time she came out, she was still wearing casual clothes and a ponytail!"

"..."

Yi Wenwen looked at Li Yu with a 'hateful' expression on his face, and after a moment of silence, he nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it would be even better if she could still wear high heels."

"?"

When Li Yu heard this, he immediately showed a suspicious expression, and looked at the bookish Yi Wenwen: "The person who said at the bottom of the "Diablo" discussion post yesterday that he could imagine being stepped on by Lin Yao... Could it be you?"

"Don't talk nonsense! It's not me!"

Yi Wenwen panicked immediately, and glared at Li Yu: "I clearly mentioned small leather shoes in the post! But I just mentioned high heels! How could it be me! How could you slander me like this!"

"...?"

Li Yu was silent for a long time, then looked at the upright Yi Wenwen, and patted him on the shoulder: "I was wrong."

the other side.

In a row not far behind Li Yu.

Li Guangsheng and Mou Feng also came.

Originally, they had been attracted by the 'Forest Carnival' for the past few days, and had no intention of paying attention to other things.

In addition, they all came to participate in the previous few days, and they felt that this day was not bad, so they also came.

They are also discussing the abnormal arrangement of Wood Workshop today.

After the discussion between the two, they felt that the most reliable conclusion was that the reason why Linmu Studio held the PC department's future meeting in the morning was because there were more important projects in the afternoon.

But the problem is.

What kind of project is it worth doing for Linmu Studio?

"Could it be another open world masterpiece?" Li Yuyu thought for a while and expressed his guess.

"possible……"

Mou Feng bowed his head and thought for a moment, then nodded, thinking of last year's "Legend of Zelda" by Linmu Studio, this game is well-known.

But this work is console exclusive.

Now that the open world game on the PC platform is launched, Linmu Studio is very confident, and it can be understood at the end...

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt something was wrong.

If it's a stand-alone game, what else can be compared to "Diablo", which refreshed players' perception yesterday, is suitable for ending?
After all, there are quite a few open-world game genres, and Linmu Studio also has a gem called The Legend of Zelda.

It shouldn't be worth putting on the last day, right?

"never mind."

Li Guangsheng looked at Fa Xiao who was thinking hard, smiled, patted him on the back, and persuaded him: "Anyway, I will know this afternoon, don't think about it, besides, we are not direct competitors, why do you want to be so clear?" , the most troublesome thing at this time should not be us, but other big factories!"

"……Right."

Mou Feng was taken aback when he heard the words, then heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.

indeed.

……

at the same time.

Backstage of the venue.

some lounge.

"I'm not on stage." Lin Yao sat on the stool, she looked at the high heels on the ground, and then looked up at Mu Wanqing.

"Then show it to me..." Mu Wanqing looked at her expectantly and whispered.

"..."

Lin Yao met her expectant gaze, and after a moment of silence, she compromised: "Okay..."

She responded, then took off her small leather shoes, lowered her head and stuffed her little feet wrapped in silk stockings into the high heels.

The smooth hair slid down her cheeks as she lowered her head.

She raised her hand, tucked her hair behind her ears with her slender fingers, and then continued to change shoes in a somewhat lame manner.

Every move reveals a seductive atmosphere.

Mu Wanqing watched the girl's every move, a little lost in thought.

Although Lin Yao gives the impression of being cute most of the time, she can actually manage any style... If she really wants to take the sexy route, it is estimated that she can instantly kill 90.00% of the same sex, including Mu Wanqing herself.

She just can't let go.

Of course, Mu Wanqing doesn't want her to let go, so that's fine...

Probably only her... and her sister could see Lin Yao in this appearance.

"All right."

Lin Yao changed her shoes, then stood up, waking up Mu Wanqing who was in a trance.

Mu Wanqing looked at the girl in front of her.

More tall and moving...

"I said that except for the closing ceremony, I probably won't be on stage, and you still buy high heels," Lin Yao complained.

"Actually, if you go up, the effect should be better."

Mu Wanqing smoothed the skirt, squatted down gracefully, then helped Lin Yao straighten the skirt of the maid, then stood up again, helped her adjust the upper body, and replied at the same time.

"No need. If a company relies on the leader's personal charm to advance, although the cohesion is strong, if the leader is not there, there will be some problems. Just take this opportunity to let more producers come to the stage. The whole It is not necessarily a good thing that Linmu Studio is only known to me.”

Lin Yao shook her head lightly, and while she let her fiddle with it, she replied: "On the other hand, this can also give the staff a channel to express themselves. People's needs are never limited to money. Our studio pays a lot. There are bound to be people who want to pursue a higher level of fulfillment."

Mu Wanqing smiled lightly: "But in fact, everyone has no objection..."

"Then just treat me as troublesome."

Lin Yao gathered the soft long hair of the shawl, smiled brightly at her, and walked around her for a few steps.

In fact, she can handle any kind of shoes, including high heels.

After all, when she first came here, she might still be a little alienated, but as she lived longer and her memories merged, she became very proficient.

The reason why I don't wear it.

It's nothing more than a deep-rooted brand at work.

And these details can be compromised a little among friends, if not, she can be really fragrant by herself... But there are certain things that will never be compromised, such as orientation.

Think of this.

Lin Yao stopped suddenly and looked at the girl in black silk glasses who was staring at her intently, a little funny.

"No, why don't you wear it yourself if you like it." Lin Yao returned to Mu Wanqing.

"I'm wearing it." Mu Wanqing defended, while taking a step back, her plump long legs in high heels moved together again.

"alright."

Lin Yao looked down, then thought for a while, then suddenly leaned forward, leaned on Mu Wanqing, and looked in the direction of the rest exit: "By the way, the meeting should start, right?"

"Well, it's almost time." Mu Wanqing held her waist and turned her head.

"I hope the carnival can end perfectly... plus today, there are still two days left."

Lin Yao glanced at Mu Wanqing's fair and beautiful side face, suddenly adjusted her posture, and looked towards the exit direction, at the same time, she put her upturned nose on Mu Wanqing's delicate and fair side face, and leaned against the on her.

Mu Wanqing felt the warm breath on her cheeks, and she seemed a little tense.

Lin Yao was lazily embracing Mu Wanqing's slender waist, with a wicked smile on her face.

Ha, so cute.

……

The PC division meet-and-greet about looking to the future, indeed, has begun.

But this time there are a bit too many staff members.

Almost all the staff who had been in charge of the project team came on stage, even Qi Jianhua who was in charge of the video.

And this meeting is also different from the previous few days, and there is no exact game theme.

The person in charge was on stage, just recalling the fun stories of the previous game projects from project approval, production to release.

In short.

This meeting is a meeting that best fits the name, and the overall atmosphere is like meeting and chatting with players.

But the players are not bored at all.

Because at the meeting, a lot of setting drafts and scrap drafts during the production of the game were announced.

The staff of Linmu Studio on the stage, just like friends, share all kinds of messy things with the players.

Why did you think about designing a character based on the image of general manager Mu Wanqing when you made "Breakout", but Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing shot him down together? After Alsace became the Lich King, he wore heavy armor , but in fact, Linmu Studio once planned to model it separately inside the armor, making Alsace wearing only plain clothes, but considering that this would be a straight drop, they gave up.

There are also female Link, male version of Zelda, modern Sherlock Holmes, zombies holding Gatling and so on.

very complicated.

And every time we talk about this, the staff on the stage will also show the manuscript and the modeling of the semi-finished product.

Some of them are Lin Yao's manuscripts, but some are the imagination of the staff.

For the first time, many players felt how big the brain hole of Linmu Studio is...

And as the manuscripts or semi-finished products are released.

The atmosphere of the venue is getting better and better.

of course.

During the period, it is inevitable to draw cakes.

For example, regarding the news about the sequel of "Call of Duty", the on-site staff announced a concept map of a new character.

It was a soldier wearing a skull-patterned mask and a tactical headset clipped to his head. His name was confirmed, and it was called Specter.

Although it is cake.

In order to make way for the game that has entered the final stage during the carnival and will be released first, Lin Yao did not disclose more information about the sequel.

But the fact that a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare sequel is in the works is the best news in itself.

Therefore, as soon as the setting diagram drawn by Lin Yao was released, it immediately received a very good response.

Those overseas audiences even jumped up and almost took off their shirts.

Brothers Pete and Marvin next to Li Yu jumped up when they heard the news...

Except for Call of Duty.

The people in charge of the two first-party studios, Conglong and Xihan, also came on stage, and then chatted with the players about the future direction of "Sherlock Holmes" and "Di Renjie".

During the period, the staff even hinted at the sequel of "Dark Soul", but they didn't reveal much, but played with mystery.

This also made the enthusiasm of the players even higher.

The final result is.

Except for the players who went to the toilet halfway.

During the nearly four-hour meeting, even if no new game was announced, none of the players got bored and left.

Great atmosphere.

In the end, the staff were about to step down, and the players were even very reluctant...

"Unexpectedly, the thick-browed and big-eyed Lin Mu Studio also failed at learning, and learned to paint cakes!"

Mou Feng looked at the end of the meeting and was still unwilling to leave. Instead, he discussed the details of the meeting with the players just now, and shook his head slightly.

"That's right." Li Guangsheng looked at the players with a little envy, and then at the stage: "There are also those employees of Linmu Studio, who are a bit amazing... It would be great if they could be dug over."

Lin Yao couldn't dig it out.

But other staff members of Linmu Studio also seem to have great ideas!
"Don't think about it, just look at the reactions of the players, and think back to their performance on stage just now."

Mou Feng recalled the production staff on the stage just now, and directly poured cold water on him: "They really like the games they make and the work they do, and they have a sense of belonging to Linmu Studio. These people want to Digging does not depend on money, and according to their insiders, the salary of Linmu Studio has always been the best among many peers, and the people in charge just now will only be higher... Are you sure you can dig it? ?”

"As long as you dig the wall frequently, one or two will succeed." Li Guangsheng said dissatisfied.

"Then you can try..."

Mou Feng shook his head, then sighed, showing a look of admiration, and sighed: "Speaking of which, they are really smart. There are so many new games in a carnival, which are indeed enough for players to digest. If there are more, they may compete with each other. It's a smart compromise to make cakes at this meeting."

"And this trick at the end of the carnival, the effect is really good... Create a chat-like atmosphere, and share interesting things about making, and further shorten the distance with the players, which not only satisfies some expectations for the sequel, or is not interested in seeing it yet. The players of the game also pushed some production staff to the front of the stage, allowing the players to get to know more staff in Linmu Studio and meet the expectations of these staff.

Even after I read it, I feel that apart from Lin Yao, who is like the big boss, the other staff in Linmu Studio are also very powerful, full of talents, this is really a killer move.

After the first four days, the players have gotten used to the explosive new game meeting every time. Linmu Studio suddenly took a step back and changed the method, and hit the players' hearts again. This ability to hold events... But I still I can't figure it out, isn't it better to put such a good idea at the end? "

As Mou Feng talked, subconsciously began to think again, showing a distressed expression.

next to.

Li Guangsheng was in a daze, he didn't quite understand, and he couldn't answer his question.

……

In fact, it is normal for Mou Feng to be puzzled.

After all, many players think so.

As for the answer...it's actually quite simple.

Is to build momentum for the last "World of Warcraft".

Feint first, and further increase the player's attention to the afternoon meeting by shortening the distance with the player.

After all, most of the main creators of Linmu Studio ran out in the morning, wouldn't it be even more exciting in the afternoon?
And Linmu Studio's return to the field of online games really needs the attention of players.

Unlike stand-alone games, online games are mostly one-off deals, and even if they are not one-off deals, there are very few cases where they will be kept updated for the next two or three years.

But the continuous updating of online games is the norm!After the online game project starts, a large number of staff will be locked up.

If the popularity does not meet expectations, whether the final game is cut in half or continues to be updated, it will not be a pleasant thing, and it will be a great blow to the staff's morale.

Therefore, the "World of Warcraft" meeting is really important.

And probably understand that this project is very important.

in the afternoon.

Before going on stage.

He was in charge of "Warcraft" to emerge, and then he was in charge of the production of "Civilization". Today, Lei Hongguang, the head of the "World of Warcraft" project team, is extremely nervous...

The entire process of the 'Forest Carnival' was discussed repeatedly.

The beginning and the end are the most important links.

Although the "Forest Carnival" has one more day tomorrow, it will only be open for trial play and the closing ceremony tomorrow, and "World of Warcraft" will be the last new game announced in the entire "Carnival".

Lin Yaohua has a lot of thoughts at all, and most of the studio in the morning lays the groundwork for creating momentum for the afternoon.

The opening of the carnival was supported by Lin Yao, but the last game was played by Lei Hongguang, the person in charge.

In this situation.

It is normal for Lei Hongguang to panic.

"……how do you feel?"

Just as Lei Hongguang adjusted his breathing.

Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing also came near the entrance.

"boss."

When Lei Hongguang heard the voice, he turned his head immediately, and said with a bitter face: "I think it's more suitable for you to participate in such an important project?"

"me?"

Lin Yao blinked her eyes when she heard the words: "Of course it is possible, but are you... sure?"

Lei Hongguang: "..."

"Although the effect will be better if I play, but after the game's public beta, you will be responsible for dealing with the players. You didn't attend the meeting this morning. Don't you have anything you want to say to the players?"

Seeing his expression, Lin Yao smiled: "I know you're nervous. Although strategically, we put this game at the end and value it very much. But in essence, this is just an ordinary meeting, isn't it? Relax Point, although the meeting is important, but in the final analysis, the success of the final game depends on the quality of the game, not on who is announcing the news at the moment. What you have to do now is to share with all players, share a Good news - we have continued to write the story of Warcraft on the basis of "Warcraft"! That's all!"

Lei Hongguang was stunned.

"So you can! Come on!"

Lin Yao finally gave him a bright smile.

"……thanks."

Lei Hongguang looked at the girl, was silent for a moment, thanked him softly, and suddenly stopped panicking.

Lin Yao shook her head.

And this time.

The lights on the stage were also turned on.

Lei Hongguang took a deep breath, then took a step...then walked onto the stage smoothly.

"Good afternoon everyone! I am Lei Hongguang, the person in charge of "Warcraft"!"

As soon as he said this.

moment.

The deafening cheers rang out!

The players gave enough face.

Stand in the spotlight.

Listening to the cheers, Lei Hongguang was a little moved, but couldn't help but look at the entrance gate.

entry gate.

Lin Yao was pulling Mu Wanqing, looking at the stage with her head probed...

He seemed to notice his gaze.

Lin Yao gave him another encouraging look.

Lei Hongguang gave a wry smile, suddenly a little pessimistic. It seems that the major events in his life will be troublesome in the future... I stay with such a person every day, how can I find him...

He sighed.

Then he quickly came back to his senses and looked at the stage again.

Better do your own thing first.

"This meeting will be the last meeting of our 'Forest Carnival'. I will introduce to you the last new game announced by our Forest Studio."

Lei Hongguang met the thousands of eyes from the audience, and after the cheers stopped, he calmly said: "As for this game, I believe that all players who have read the carnival flow chart should know what it is called. Maybe some players have already guessed it. What happened, yes, this game has something to do with Warcraft.

And "Warcraft" is our first attempt to make an RTS... When Lin Yao told me that he wanted to make an RTS, I thought it was too outrageous. There are too many excellent peers in this type of game. Can't think of anything new to come out of this. "

Speaking of which.

Lei Hongguang paused, looked at the players who were listening curiously, smiled, and continued: "But when I saw Lin Yao's setting diagram and planning book, I realized that I was wrong, outrageously wrong... Then I watched After finishing the story, I even had an impulse to make this game anyway! Because I like the story of Warcraft so much! Finally, we succeeded, we made "Warcraft", And made three DLCs for it. In Lin Yao's pen, we are very satisfied with the further completion of this world and this story...but on the other hand-I, including others in the entire project team, feel that, The story of World of Warcraft seems to be unfinished, and it seems that there are more things to dig.

The feeling was so strong that I even started imagining the continuation of this story myself. "

Following Lei Hongguang's words.

The audience looked towards the stage with growing anticipation.

Li Guangsheng and Mou Feng, who were sitting in the middle, also became very interested.

They wanted to know what Linmu Studio was hiding in the end.

"But obviously, in this regard, my talent is really not as good as our beautiful boss, so I quickly gave up."

Lei Hongguang spread his hands, and after receiving a burst of cheers, he continued: "Just when I gave up and felt that the story should end here, Lin Yao suddenly found me again, and she gave me a plan, Then he told me that he wanted to make a game and build a World of Warcraft... My thoughts at the time were similar to the first time I heard Lin Yao say that he wanted to make an RTS game. A world? How to build a game? ?”

"Then, I opened the planning book, opened the solution given by Lin Yao, and saw her definition of World of Warcraft. I was once again convinced, and then—there was this game, this "" World of Warcraft"!
An online game! !
A MMORPG! !!"

Following Lei Hongguang's words fell.

On the screen behind him, the most classic World of Warcraft logo appeared.

World of Warcraft!Into the eyes of all players!

"Yes, Linmu Studio... will return to the field of online games again!"

After a brief silence.

Accompanied by Lei Hongguang's firm and powerful words.

In the audience, cheers like a tsunami erupted in an instant!
online games! !
It turned out to be an online game! ! !
An online game produced by Linmu Studio! ! !

Under the impact of this news, all the players were confused and instinctively let out the biggest cheers!

And at the same time.

There were also one or two non-player viewers who were so shocked by the news that they were confused and confused...

For example... Li Guangsheng.

For a second, he was still concentrating on the stage, ready to see what was hidden in Linmu Workshop.

next second.

Lei Hongguang on the stage said the words MMORPG and online games.

That moment.

Li Guangsheng's mind buzzed... Dazed, he subconsciously stood up, and what awaited him was cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami!

Facing the sudden roar of cheers like a tsunami, he lost his footing and slid off the chair directly, sitting on the ground with his buttocks.

"Fuck! Dude! You don't have to be so excited..."

Next to him, a player was taken aback by him, and couldn't care less about cheering, so he hurried to pull Li Guangsheng.

Li Guangsheng sat on the ground, listening to the deafening cheers, looked back at the kind player who pulled him, and barely understood the meaning of the other party through his lips.

Then, he replied in a daze: "Am I excited!? My tm is weak..."

And the other side.

Mou Feng stayed where he was.

That's it!

I see! !
It turned out to be an online game! ! !
