There's really something wrong with this online game plan

Chapter 660 The First Game

The next half a month.

Future S2 continues to sell well.

Even the sales of Future S1 have increased a lot.

On the day when Future S2 was released, relevant software updates were also pushed to Future S1.

Although the two hardwares are very different, the Future S1 also lacks in screen performance when playing "Climb to the Top", after all, the processors in the past two years are a bit weak.

But thanks to the fact that Future S1's hardware is also unified, and "Climbing to the Top" is the first-party game of Linmu Studio, Linmu Studio has this ability, and the optimization is relatively simple.

It's just sacrificing a certain amount of image performance.

But some people don't really mind that.

In addition, the most important thing is that the Future S1 of the third-party platform ushered in a price cut.

The range is quite large, nearly 800 yuan.

This dropped the price of the new Future S1 to less than 3000 yuan.

And the new Future S2 has just been released, of course it is impossible to reduce the price.

One side is 3000 yuan, and the other side is five thousand yuan short of one yuan.

There are many points to upgrade.

But if you are not interested in the big screen, high flash rate and fast charging, and you can accept the somewhat weak processor performance of the Future S1, then choose the Future S1 which is similar to the Future S2.

Although technology products are said to be buying new rather than old.

But everything is about step by step.

In the domestic mobile phone market, the price has not been raised so fast. UMedia Technology is the challenger. It has no constraints from the beginning. In addition, the first mobile phone is really amazing, so the price of high-end mobile phones can be set.

But before the rise of UMedia Technology, Jiaming Alliance was the boss.

Their high-end mobile phones are priced around 3000 yuan.

The Jiaming Alliance has dominated for so long, but the influence is still there.

This is also the price that most users can accept for changing mobile phones.

Therefore, after making a decision, some users feel that there is no problem with the update point of Future S2, and it is normal to choose Future S1 with a lower price.

After all, the two mobile phones are equipped with the same operating system. What the Future S2 can do, the Future S1 can also do.

And Future S1 is still better than Jiaming Alliance's high-end mobile phone models... This is also very important.

Users are even willing to buy the Future S1 of the previous generation of Youmedia Technology, and are unwilling to buy the high-end mobile phone of Jiaming Alliance.

This is another huge blow to the Jiaming Alliance.

Although mobile phones are still an incremental market.

But users are willing to pay the same price to buy other people's previous-generation mobile phones, which itself represents a signal.

The difference is really huge.

to this point.

Especially after the release of Future S2.

Fewer and fewer people think that Jiaming Alliance is the number one in the domestic mobile phone market.

In two years, it lost its number one position to some extent.

This blow is really too big.

All the members of the Jiaming Alliance met during this period of time as if they were mourning, and they didn't think of any good plans.

The final conclusion is that it can only imitate Future S2, and then add one or two exclusive functions of Jiaming Alliance to launch an upgraded high-end mobile phone model...

And this is exactly what Linmu Studio wanted...

the other side.

The popularity of "Climbing to the Top" is getting higher and higher as expected by the colleagues of Linmu Studio. It really has the meaning of replicating the miracle of "Day of Reincarnation".

But soon, colleagues discovered that they still underestimated this mobile game...

How is this a replica?

This tm is completely surpassed!
After Future S2 was released, "Day of Reincarnation" seemed to lose its number one position forever.

Whenever the Future store is opened.

Number one is always "Climb to the Top".

If this only means that there are many download users of this new public beta mobile game.

There is really no reason for the speed of the spread of mobile games.

"Day of Reincarnation" is already very popular, and it broke the circle at that time, but compared with "Climbing to the Top", it is still nothing.

The search index and popularity of the game "Climbing to the Top" on social media are really new every day.

And most of the users who discussed didn't even pay attention to the news of the game before.

How universal is this mobile game?Can these ordinary people who don't pay attention to the game at all discuss it?
The colleagues in Linmu Studio couldn't figure it out.

The only thing they know is that this mobile game is far from reaching the upper limit.

Because the Future series of mobile phones are still selling well.

And this is not counting the users of Jiaming Alliance... Just like this, it already makes people feel that this game is more popular than "Day of Reincarnation".

During this period of time, some game companies actually launched new card-drawing games, but it was as expected.

There were "Day of Reincarnation" and "Under the Dark Night" before, and "Climb to the Top" later. They were just pure imitations, which no longer attracted too many players.

And this kind of operation of forcibly breaking the gun is honored as a warrior by many colleagues...

Then, as a warning, even if my own card-drawing mobile game is ready, I choose to suppress it first.

But it is a fact that the mobile game market is thriving.

This can be seen in "Climb to the Top".

It's very divided.

Forest Studio!You have misled everyone!

Although my peers really want to scold me like this.

But "Day of Reincarnation" and "Under the Dark Night" are very profitable... This is really too dry!
Faced with this situation, smart peers have already begun to consider how to make differentiated mobile games.

As for those who are not very smart, they are still complaining.

the other side.

Colleagues have noticed that the popularity of the mobile game "Climbing to the Top" continues to rise, attracting countless downloads from users who don't pay attention to the game at all.

Of course the players noticed it too.

Their experience will only be deeper than their counterparts in Linmu Studio.

After all, they are the ones playing the game.

[The mobile game "Climbing to the Top" is so popular, my cousin never plays games, and she still talks about me when I play games, but yesterday I saw her playing a mobile game, she looked very happy! 】

Such a post.

Suddenly appeared on the forum.

This was just an ordinary sharing post, and usually there is not much traffic at all.

Many players just read it, and only players who are too idle will reply.

But this time is different.

There are so many players who feel the same way about this post.

The number of replies is also very scary.

and.

Still going up.

"Normally, many of my colleagues who don't play games have also started to play. Originally, they bought Future S2 only because of the fast charging function. After all, they often need to travel, but in the end they all started playing games for no reason..."

"Because the game "Climbing to the Top" is the focus of the press conference. Ordinary people have never seen such a game. This game is the only one. There is no mobile phone in the Jiaming League! Buy a new mobile phone and don't try it. Try? And the cost of trying this game is really too low, all the applications of Linmu Studio share the same account, you can download the game and play it, and then try it out..."

"Indeed, that's how my friend started playing mobile games, but in the end, Linmu Studio is too awesome. You have to admit that the game "Climbing to the Top", although it can't be compared with the MOBA end game, is really fun , I get mesmerized sometimes."

"Look at 'Meal Delivery' and 'Travel with Peace of Mind', how much traffic they have increased because of the mobile phone conference, the person in charge of these two softwares burst out laughing! And this is just a passing mention when introducing small components Mouth, not to mention "Climbing to the Top", which is the "escort masterpiece" of the new mobile phone.

I can guarantee that this game will definitely explode in the end, and these users will become seeds. If the game can be launched on Jiaming League’s mobile phones next, it will be a lore, and this game will become the king of mobile games. indefinite! "

"Because it's fun! I even regret that such a game was not announced at the carnival...Of course, this is just my personal opinion. We did make too much noise at the beginning. In fact, if it is like this year's carnival, only one traditional game Quite a few, and I don’t mind adding one or two premium mobile games.”

"That said... indeed, I don't mind if the next carnival does this! It feels good too."

"Come on, now you guys feel like this because Lin Yao is still there, who knows what will happen if Lin Yao is not here... Although the possibility is not high, there is still a probability of it happening, when the carnival will be full of hands You, the producer just said "everyone take out your own mobile phone" and really couldn't hold back. Don't you believe it, what console can sell as much as mobile phones?
I don't mind Linmu Studio making mobile games, after all, this is the trend of the times, but I want to play traditional games more. The current situation is that mobile games and traditional games are open on five-fifth, and the two stages of carnival and press conference are responsible for mobile games and The important task of exposing traditional games, if the boundaries are blurred, according to the earning speed and user base of mobile games, it will really change the strategy of Linmu Studio. "

"Ah? Lin Yao isn't here!?"

"Can't you see it? Lin Yao didn't show up at the carnival, and then created a virtual idol called the host, and the press conference was changed to be hosted by Zhang Youjie from Youmedia Technology. Lin Yao already has the idea of ​​leaving ...Of course, this is just my guess, and it may also be retreating behind the scenes."

"Yeah... I'm even starting to worry that the number of traditional games of Linmu Studio will decrease in the future. Although it's a bit unreasonable hahhh, after all, Carnival has only brought out a few big dishes, but now I think they should start to focus on mobile games. swim."

"Upstairs, it actually makes sense. The reduction in the number of traditional games is a general trend. There is no doubt that it will start this year or next year... Let me stop here! I won't show you what I will eat, and Linmu Studio will also Making mobile phones, they know better than anyone how bright the future of mobile games will be!"

"Indeed, mobile games are really easy to make money, and I think so too."

"The guys upstairs are right, but I think this will not be the case of the Linmu Studio family, but the entire industry will become like this!"

"..."

The players chatted about the mobile game "Climb to the Top" at first, but as they talked, they slowly started talking about Lin Yao again.

And start to bring up old things again.

What is the future of mobile games and traditional games...

This topic has already appeared when Linmu Studio first released the Future S1 mobile phone and launched a mobile game on it for the first time.

Players were generally pessimistic at the time.

It wasn't until the opening of the carnival that year that this changed the views of traditional players.

In the future, this topic has never sparked much discussion. When Linmu Studio organized a joint event for "Day of Reincarnation", traditional players also had a good time...

Until this time, Lin Yao deliberately lowered her influence and stopped showing up.

That brought the topic back up.

However, most players are not as pessimistic as before, and they are much calmer.

Because in the past two years, Linmu Studio has launched many mobile games, and they already know mobile games very well. After playing mobile games... Players have to admit that mobile games are well done, and with the characteristics of portability, There is indeed strong competition.

They all find it fun and competitive, not to mention casual players.

All of them generally believe that with the success of "Climbing to the Top" and Lin Yao's retirement, the reduction in the number of traditional games of Linmu Studio will be the general trend. The series ran to do operations like Pachinko.

However, the number of follow-up mobile games will definitely increase, and the number of traditional games will definitely decrease to a certain extent.

This is not just Linmu Studios doing this, but the entire industry will undergo such a change.

It's going to be like this from the beginning of the year...it's going to be the big thing!
Just like the appearance of Future S1, no one can change the arrival of the smartphone era.

Powerless to change.

Of course I'm at peace...

……

In a way.

The player's sense of smell is indeed very keen.

The emergence of MOBA mobile games will once again refresh the industry's perception of the ability of mobile games to attract money.

The launch of Future S2 will further stimulate Jiaming Alliance.

The processors on the mobile side will only get stronger and stronger... the ability to play mobile games will become more and more beautiful.

At that time, the entire game industry will indeed change, and mobile games will become an inescapable link, while traditional games will indeed decrease to a certain extent as production costs increase.

"However, it's not going to happen in these two years."

Lin Yao sat in her seat, gently clicked the left mouse button, and said with a chuckle, "At least it won't happen to Linmu Studio in the past two years."

Yes.

Lin Yao was also reading that post.

After completing the next development strategy book of UMedia Technology, she also got a period of rest.

And during her rest time, she is not playing games, browsing the forums to see what sand sculpture players are talking about, or chatting with Mu Wanqing...

Very simple.

Then she saw such a post.

Originally, she just wanted to see if the landlord's cousin was pretty...

Unexpectedly, the sand sculpture players talked about this.

Lin Yao found it quite interesting.

She thought about it, and then replied under the post: "No, I promise."

but.

There are too many players replying below the post.

Lin Yao's personal account is nothing special.

So her reply didn't stir up any splashes at all.

Lin Yao didn't mind either, she just wanted to reply.

She is not worried that sand sculpture players will continue to think about it.

Because soon... the first game, like "Titanfall", which belongs to Linmu Studio's internal project called 'Love Letter', will be released.

Just these two months.

And that game was called - Left [-] Dead.

At this time.

There was a sudden knock on the office door.

Mu Wanqing, dressed in OL attire, walked in and asked, "Lin Yao, Zhan Tong from the PC department asked if you have time? He's not sure about that easter egg..."

Lin Yao stood up, stretched herself, and said with a smile, "Yes."

10 minute later.

PC Products Division.

The seventh development group.

"Is this going to put the entire poster up? I read the lines of the voice actors."

"There are going to be two lines here? 'Ha, this is a good game' and 'My favorite'."

Zhan Tong, the person in charge of the seventh development team, looked at Lin Yao who was in a hurry, and asked humbly: "Since I want to say such a line, I wonder if I should also reveal the name of the game..."

Lin Yao stood aside, shook her head and said, "Of course it's impossible to put the whole poster up, you have to hide the key information."

"In "Game of Thrones", you can't disclose the name and gameplay of the game, but you can reveal words like 'a brand new fighting game' and 'disclosure of the characters', and the poster will be torn off in half."

"The same goes for Ready Player One, you just put the words 'virtual reality games of the future' out there."

"This is to match the one or two lines of the game characters when they see the poster, to leave a certain impression on the players... There will be related foreshadowing and linkage in the future. We don't want players to remember just one game This thing."

"If you post it all, won't the sense of mystery disappear?"

"This is just a little Easter egg foreshadowing."

"……I understand."

Zhan Tong from the seventh development team scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard this.

Because those two items were too important, he really didn't dare to make a decision alone, even if it was a seemingly unimportant detail that he could completely decide.

But now he felt embarrassed to ask Lin Yao to go there in person.

"It's okay, I'm just free."

Lin Yao saw that the other party was a little embarrassed, and explained with a smile: "You change it first, and I'll look at it later."

"it is good."

Zhan Tong nodded, instead of looking for the staff below, he changed it himself.

It doesn't take much time to change two posters.

soon.

He's done.

Zhan Tong stopped, then looked back at Lin Yao.

Lin Yao carefully observed the two extra posters on the classic scene of "Left [-] Dead", nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a bright smile: "That's it! Perfect."

Seeing the smile on Lin Yao's fair face, Zhan Tong was a little lost in thought, but he quickly realized that he looked away, and then cast his gaze on the screen.

On the screen, two damaged posters were glowing yellow.

Not conspicuous.

Zhan Tong felt that if he was playing a game, he might just skip it.

Who would have thought.

These two posters represent the most important projects since the establishment of the two forest studios.

perhaps.

When everything is revealed, players will look back and play these games, will they be too shocked?
Thinking of this, Zhan Tong couldn't help but also laughed.

There is a subtle sense of accomplishment.

Although he didn't handle those two important projects.

But all this!It will be opened by this game that he is responsible for.

The work he does today.

The next 20 years.

Players may not forget.

...this is really awesome.
